  • dont like me.....the originis is awesome. Thx Annie...but this is other song :(

  • Comment removed

  • I think that Annie's version is the best.

  • the keane versions better lol

  • The original is, as already said, sublime. But this cover is brilliant too!

    Though, Tom is my favorite singer of all.

  • What a precious gift you are Annie Lennox. Thank you for being. You've made my heart smile many, many times.

  • Beautiful voice, beautiful woman. I thought Tom actually wrote it for her, then recorded a version? Keanesters, please advise.

  • no actually the song was writen and recorded in 2000 with the title of "Closer Now", and somehow Annie discovered it and made this wonderful cover

  • nice cover...but the original is better^^

  • closer now es una de mis canciones favoritas de keane.....y obviamente prefiero la original......

    pero este cover no me desagrada en lo absoluto...muy buen trabajo de Annie!

  • yes, me too I prefer the original singing by Tom

  • GOD,KEANE'S SONG IS SOOOO GOOD!Love Keane, and this version is nice,but I prefer the original. Tom's voice is unique.

  • I wonder why Annie chose this song to cover. Does she believe her love life is like this song says. Is she in love with someone she can't have. That is what I feel this song is about. Loving someone you can't have.

  • a great effort but i prefer keane's version

  • "Closer Now"/"Pattern of my life" has always been my favourite song, although it's not a real Keane song. It has been my first I played on the guitar and it will touch me forever. I can so understand Annie Lennox' choice. :) Her version is great, of course not the same than with the writer's voice and passion, but really lovely. And I like that she changed the title because I always thought this section highlighted the meaning of the song.

  • Hi Annie this is a great track, and u hav done our Tom Proud. I luv keane's version and Tom did write this track love Babs X.

  • It's okay. The original version is absolutely sublime. Tom Chaplin has the best voice on the planet in my opinion. He actually wrote this song too, not Tim Rice-Oxley.

  • I am sorry if I conveyed the wrong information about the writers of, "Pattern of My Life". I took the information from, The Annie Lennox Collection liner notes. Actually, Annie credits Keane, (Chaplin/Rice-Oxley/Hughes/San­cer) the entire band as the writers of "Closer Now". All I know is,Tom is a brilliant songwriter and Annie will bring his writing talents to a new audience.

  • Oh, nothing was incorrect. I was just referring to the fact that it's usually Tim behind most of the songs. This is only song I know of that Tom genuinely wrote himself. I'm sure Tim and Rich helped though, so they can take credit too. :)

  • Lol she covered the demo. And did a pretty good job.

  • I am so glad you posted this song! It will be interesting to see what people think,(since you can't leave any comments on Annie's video). I love this song! Annie's voice is so powerful!

  • micsandlennox - I lOVE this song. I think Annie disabled the comments because she was bored with all the negative and childish comments people put on the "Shining Light" video. I agree with her decision.

  • That's what I figured and I agree with her decision too. Everyone's comments on this video seem to be respectful, so far.

  • This does sound like a country song. I thought this was a Reba song. I like this song alot!

  • it does alittle--but that is cool--she sounds amazing--would love to see t as a single....

  • izvestia03 - I have been hoping it would be a single too and now I think Annie has announced that she will release it as a single. I love it.

  • yes--hopefully a single here in north america as well:) thanx iceblooo

  • Is it me,or does this sound like a country song? Can't believe it's Annie Lennox.
