  • lol HD pics! :) ....jk .. nice video!;)

    

  • This is Keane and I like it better than the original.

  • Was a bit scared to listen to this version at first, but I must say I'm pretty... satisfied.

  • Oddly, I like it.

  • Comment removed

  • it's even better for me.

  • i like keane's "Somewhere Only We Know" a lot

  • not too bad... feels quite current

  • Luvin dis song to da fullest !!!! Hope ii can siing iit solo iin my graduation ....!!!!!!

  • i love ur voice

  • Expected to hate it, but I love it, in a late hours low-fi way.

  • Comment removed

  • @Jhensy2012 King among men! but i might just be lovin that comment cus im in a late hours low-fi (aka = i'm high :)

  • Hermosa versión,una de las mejores.

  • Hermosa versión,una de las mejores.

  • A little bit emo, but I like it nonetheless.

  • I agree with the other comments. This is amazingly good

  • his version is....just amazing! 

  • I think it really does work on this song :)

  • Can't hear the singing.

  • i like this. well sung. touching! really touching!

  • Such a great cover, I also love Elton John though. This cover also kind of reminds me Sean Lennon whose songs are also filled with a dreamy, melancholy atmosphere.

  • keane has great covers

  • how good is this? a brilliant cover of an awesome song.

  • better than Sarah Blasko who did a pretty bad cover

  • great arrangement, but the version lacks a greater voice.

  • @viniciusb1 i love keane's voice, but your right... it just doesn't work on this song

  • I love the melody at the beginning and the end. You can see a person walking up to you and then walking away. I love how the extra portion of music allows for the image of a person walking and telling this story (or giving advice as I would interpret it). I do enjoy this version as well.

  • very dreamy version. I love it

  • GYBR is one of my favorites of all time, but this version does tremendous justice to it. Chapin's vocals are understated in contrast with Elton's emotion but it works just as well in expressing the frustration with the bullshit, almost like resignation instead of rebellion. I really like this.

  • @samsbro1952 I hadn't thought of it that way. I've noticed Tom tends to sing cover songs very gently, I wonder if perhaps he tends to be a bit too reverent of the originals and afraid to really let his own voice shine on them? But it could be as you said he just wants to bring a different emotion to the songs.

  • Not as good as Elton, but, woah, I like this version :-)

  • eltons is always great but really like keanes attempt any idea where i can download this track anyone?

  • beautiful angelic voice, his own version. enjoyed very much.

  • @falkirkfcno1 You're a CUN* F*uck off.

  • @eltonfan30 FUK U!!! HOW IRONIC YUR NAME SAYS ELTO FAN, U SUCK!!!!!

  • Keane, i use to love you, i didnt even listin to start of the lyrics and i knew it was a failure!!! NEVER EVER COVER LEGENDARY SONGS LIKE THIS!!! Sooooo bad compared to elton,

  • @falkirkfcno1 now, now..remember Keane started as a cover band and they did the best job they could because they knew Sir Elton's shoes are impossible to fill. Tom's voice is unique and beautiful.

  • fascinating, but a failure.

  • Horrible.

  • wow ! that tom chaplin lost a lot of weight !!he has his drug addiction to thank for that one..

  • @blica1 No digs at Tom, please. At least he had the guts to get better.

  • No way. No one is even a distant second to Elton. I love Elton John's version. More emotion and feeling to it.

  • Very nice job.

  • Sounds a bit like Freddy Merury...You think?

  • sounds just like Freddie in his song "Time To Go"

    Keane is awesome

  • no ..................

  • nice voice!!! I love it... I cry so much!!

  • great song....keane the best !!!!!!!!! =)

  • I.LOVE. THIS.

  • i like Elton John's original, but this one sounds so different, as if it were another song 'cause it has a different feeling. I think I like Keane's version better (I wish I could say the same about the "enjoy the silence" cover,which I didn't like).

  • I kinda miss the string section, but besides that, this version is downright beautiful! A little softer on the edges, but gorgeous!

  • I rarely like covers but this ain't bad. It's a bit too laid back for me. Elton John gives it a bit more oomph - if you know what I mean. Nice voice though.

  • **8 song really , I love this Keane version much more than Elton's

    Thank you for posting

  • good song, great preformance, who is this dude? and where is he from? im in New Zealand and i haven't heard of him

  • Keane's a band, I kinda like them. I highly doubt you haven't even heard one of their songs.

  • did you even watch the video (slideshow)??

  • beautiful song

  • one of the sweetest voices on earth :)

  • @nethour I agree with you!!! He sound much better than Elton John, and gives a better feeling to the tune. don't you think so? I love Tom Chaplin's voice. He got something very special in his voice!!! I am in love with his voice.

  • very good version

  • brilliant! love it!

  • where did you get it ?????

    awesome

  • it's off of the album 'help!: a day in the life ' made to benefit the warchild charity/organization. the album features songs by a large number of artists. this was keane's contribution to the album :)

  • Keane you're the best. One of the greatest band I know...what a voice Chaplin...drives my soul away...

  • Heard the Elton version on Life on Mars but I love this version :)

  • wow wow I Iike this version of this song...a beutiful an clasic song whith a good style of Keane.

  • co0o0l song!!!!!!!

  • °º¤ø„¸¨°º¤ø„¸¸„ø¤º°¨¸„ø¤º°¨

    ¨°º¤ø„¸ KEANE¸„ø¤º°¨

    ¸„ø¤º°¨ VIVA `°º¤ø From SEOUL, COREA

  • nice interpretation however you can never beat Sir Elton God of Rock!

  • The awesome Mr. Chaplin...beautiful!!!

  • stupenda........ah..davvero una delle migliori canzoni mai fatte!

  • Tiene el sonido de Atlantic.

  • I wonder when was this recorded?

  • wow... i can feel the sadness... but it's very good version...

  • beautyfull!

  • I've just got in from seeing a Keane concert tonight in Cardiff with my m8s and we're all saying what a nice , down to earth bloke Tom Chaplin is . They put on a fantastic show and I loved every minute of it ! :) .

    If there's anything bad to say about it Iam disappointed they didn't perform this song even though its a cover I think they do it brilliantly :)

  • I was at their Glasgow concert, which was awesome, and this is one I'd like to hear live too. As a huge fan of both Keane and Elton John, I'll admit my initial response to this cover was slight disappointment: the delicate, understated style isn't what I expected, but it's grown on me and I do love it.

  • Tom Chaplin has one of the finest voices in the world today... but I can't imagine anybody ever topping Elton John's original. It's often the case with great singer-songwriters that the passion they can put into performing their own songs is something nobody else will ever feel quite as deeply, and that's one quality which sets it apart.

    I still very much enjoyed Keane's rendition, and would love to hear a Keane/ Elton duet on this one.

  • keane n elton are awesome...

  • Love both Elton John and Keane, they could make a duet with this song... it would be marvellous!

  • No.

  • I do love Keane... but I adore Elton! And Elton's version is by far the best!

  • Far the best? Give me a break, there's no feeling. Elton's version is incomparable.

  • of course elton is a legend but this is a brilliant try and amazing version

  • I loved elton john's but this is awesome! i mean it became one of my most fav. love his version

  • still doesn't beat sir elton john's version.

  • hey he sung my favorite song perfectly i enjoyed it as much as the elton version

  • elton with is actual voice is better

  • Nice bubble gum version, BUT the original is by far the best.

  • I agree. The experience is less whimsical and sadder, and is just as enjoyable overall.

  • A very nice and modern version of a classic.

  • It's not a bad cover. Better than Limp Bizkit's "Behind Blue Eyes". What a joke! At least this is a GOOD cover. They just don't work a lot....

  • No puede ser esa canción es una verdadera tortura, es demasiado buena, me saca lágrimas. Cómo no vienen al Perú ´gritaría esa canción si de eso dependiera mi vida

  • elton jon es basura a comparacion de tom chaplin

  • I grew up on this song from Elton John, and somehow with Keane performing it, I suddenly feel like I "get" this song.

    His voice is hauntingly beautiful (when isn't it?), and I found my heart was clenching when I was listening to this.

    I love you Keane!

  • keane tanga!

  • i love this song. :)

  • It`s the better cover of this song

  • what a voice!!!!

  • bring back mr winky head

  • this cover is so brilliant :)

  • You can't really beat Elton John, but this is surprisingly good! I'm a massive fan of both.

  • aww...love this song, they did a truly gr8 version!!!=)

  • I love this cover!!!

  • I LOVE KEANE!

  • I LOVE ELTON JOHN

  • Fantástica versão do Keane!!! Como praticamente tudo o que eles fazem!!! Eles arrebentam!

  • Usually, when there are a few versions for the same song, I prefer the origin, but in this case I think Keane's is better (Though I'm not a fan of Elton John...):).

  • I love both Elton and Keane. Unlike some bands who do covers and they suck, This was very well done!

  • I like the original better. It's the sound, you can't just copy that.

    But I love Keane as well and this version is great.

  • I love their version!

  • This song is by elton john. It's my favourite elton's song :)

  • BRILLIANT cover!

  • when i saw this didnt think it would work but i think its great

  • actually i don't like, i thought elton was much better.

  • Keane's version is much more mellow than Elton John's... Do we really have to choose...? Neeeeeejjjj, we don't;) I love both versions, but I ám in love with Chaplin's voice, can't help that, haha.

    ('Neeeeeejjjj' is Dutch for 'I don't think so';-))

  • Yo-DA ORIGINAL IS BETTER-__-

  • i totally agree with Yrrats! ;)

  • i love this songgggg

  • this song is way beta den the original, you can download this song off ilegel site, but its impossible to get if you dont download it

  • Perfect cover! Really perfect.... Does anyone know where to find a MP3-version...? On their site maybe?

  • If you're still looking, you can buy it on iTunes.

  • wow a great version, keane handle this song great.

  • This is the way to overcome an original... the cover is much better... KEANE RULES! greetings from mexico, Keane, come back!

  • Lyrics and melody of this song are always excellent but especially this cover is sooo SWEET...now i finally decide my future lies beyond the yellow brick road...perfect.

  • Not To Bad....However In The Proper Key Would Be Nice !

  • I just really got into this song and was thinking, "Keane would be perfect for this!" hahah! Go me! haha! Love it! :)

  • cool it's amazing

    well done

  • i love this song!

    The wizard of Oz,hehe!

  • this song is amazing........thank you......and one question:

    where can i find this song?

  • i love this version. it sounds sort of mellow

  • This version of Sir Elton John's all too famous hit is really good. I like it

  • I love this song, and Keane did a good job with it. The chorus really shows off Tom's falsetto abilities, which are endless, no?

    I like how they slowed it down too. Elton John's pace is great, but for a different version, this is very good.

  • I love eltons version better pace i think.

  • This is my FAVORITE Elton John song, and when I found this version, by one of my favorite bands, I nearly died. It's gorgeoussssss. <3333333

  • Not bad version!

  • So great!

  • This man should start to make some money out of this voice... Ah, he does that already, doesn't he;-)?

  • im definetly the number one keane fan!!!

    tom even held my hand :)

    NO JOKE!

  • loveeeeeeeeeee it

  • Great cover, chorus suits his vocals especially.

    Sound quality isn't that good though... and those drums are very corny.

  • OMG they have so many covers and all great choices and they handle them all so well. amazing band, AMAZING band. I'll never stop loving them. thanks so much for this video.

  • in ares

    i'm the fan no.1 of keane

  • I can't believe this! This is the second time today I find a Keane song I never heard of! Where do you find these pearls?!

  • of curse of not

  • is there no end to this bands talent?

  • I haven't faound it yet if there is...
