Keane interview - Tom Chaplin & Tim Rice-Oxley (2019) 

I actually really appreciate this interview. The openness from both the interviewer and the band is great. Not being afraid to ask specific questions and not being afraid to answer them, I really liked that.

Tim responsibility as a elder brother can be clearly felt

They are very honest, every time I see their interviews I feel them, they are simple, very educated, sincere, and so humble. That makes them lovable. I love them so much, and I am so happy for Cause and Effect. Thank you guys.

Tim Rice Oxley is a beautiful man inside and out.

I applaud their openness regarding the difficulties they've faced. I'm sorry they went through that, but at the same time, all that strife has produced an absolutely excellent new album!!

You can see they almost feel upset with themselves for not having checked on each other during their difficult times. Also, I like how direct the questions are and how interested the interviewer is in getting to the depth of their answers.

Amazing interview! Interviewer was fearless with his questions and Tim and Tom were very honest and earnest with their answers. They never flinched.

So what a lovely frank, honest and interesting insight into the past few years. What a pleasure it is to see these two talking so openly about the struggles they both faced. And it is clear how much they both love each other after 30 plus years. Great to see Keane back.

Two precious men, I hope they will always be happy

I just love the relationship these guys have with each other....... That's what makes Keane as great as they are!

Se nota que son personas educadas de verdad. Yo creo que por esa razón nos atrae la banda además de sus canciones. Me alegro que sean capaces de poner en palabras todos sus sentimientos incluso con toques de humor Eso significa que el dolor y el sufrimiento poco a poco se superara. Hay una gran amistad entre ambos y eso es muy importante. Me encanta Keane y espero que sigan durante muchos más años ❤🎉

We salvage the parts we can/And work on a better plan/Always on the outside/Fingers clinging on so tight/Kicking at the window/Dreaming of a better life/Take what you can/Just got to take what you can This is basically how Tom and Tim sorted themselves out and hooked up again to reboot Keane. By the way, those lines are from the song Phases in case you didn’t know.

Kudos to TC for not cracking up at the very beginning as the interviewer said 'let's go back to the start' and then, quite literally, by the sound of it, took about 30 seconds to go back to the start of his notebook 🤣

Very deep and honest interview.

Very open and honest interview. This interviewer asks the questions we all wanted to know. He put Tim on the spot asking which of Tom's solo songs he liked! Uncomfortable at times.

jesus that was a tense interview, amazing to see that behind the music there are actual humans with their own detailed lives and interactions, makes it all the more impressive the things they have produced imo

Tom is sooo brave to talk about his addiction. That means he is going to the right direction and he is being an example to other people that you can get better. I admire him a lot. 👏🙂

All the questions I always wanted to ask are part of this interview. Several are very tricky, however they insisted on their usual honesty and I love that so much.

Tim & Tom 💜😍😘😘😘

Every time Tom smiles, I'm smiling too 😃 I really appreciate how openly they talk about difficult periods in their lives.

This was a fantastic interview. I applaud them for being so open and honest, as others have said, and for the interviewer to ask questions many fans might not know answers to. Keane will forever be one of my all time favorite bands. Everything they touch has magic, passion, heartache, longing and lyrics that always make the listener FEEL something.

Wow.... I am so glad I discovered your music this summer at the Hyde Park BST Festival... Playing it non stop at the moment and falling more and more in love with it. I love your voice, Tom and your way of playing the piano, Tim. Very unique! I was in front at the B-Stage and could really feel your energy, Tom. You seemed to take it all in, this love and energy from 70.000 people listening to your music and singing along, many deeply touched, I suppose (at least me and my mate). (And I didn't even know any of that stuff about your history and everything) And I love how open and honest you talk about your lifes and struggles, your friendship and the people we need in our lifes - this is much more interesting than just pretending everything is always wonderful (as I often see in social media - everything needs to be set in scene and just be perfect - but that is not what life is like). So thank you very much again, I am looking forward to discovering the rest of your records (next: the Christmas Album ;-)). And I sincerely hope you will come to Austria sometime - see you in Front Row then ;-))).

Thank you for this interview!! It's official: I'm in love with Tim

Keane are the best,Tim what a talent,Tom what a voice,and the others involved,they all make Keane so keane

Richard is overlooked quiet often.

Thank you FaceCulture, Tom Chaplin and Tim Rice-Oxley for this honest interview. Wish you the best!

Me encanta la honestidad de TOM para hablar ,de sus malos,tristes y dolorosos momentos, es maravilloso. Qué!!! Hermosa la amistad con TIM su amigo de la vida,.de los buenos y malos momentos, es su cable a tierra, los dos son maravillosos y se necesitan, son unos genios, TIM un gran compositor y TOM pone la magia con su maravillosa voz, las canciones son obras maestras. En realidad KEANE es la mejor banda del mundo, son adorables. Gracias por compartir ésta entrevista.🤗 Me fascina TOM 💖

Ive missed you and your music . Keane is stuck in my heart , your songs def made a great impact in my life. Dont leave us no more.

I'm officially in love with Tim. Listening to their last album makes me want to cry. :(

Tim and Tom, you are marvelous!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for your beautiful music...and....

What a great interviewer, a slightly muddled/slow start that then turned into a wonderful flowing series of questions that required in-depth and thoughtful responses from both Tim & Tom. Loved it. PS I'm in Tynemouth already for tomorrow's delayed by covid gig. The Tynemouth priory is an amazing location with a fabulous hinterland

This is how real pain becomes great amazing art! Thank you Tom and Tim for being so honest and thank you for that wonderful concert in Monterrey.

Really excellent interview, thank you very much.

Happy to see you guys back after so long. Your voice is better now than ever. You guys have already made your mark along time ago and I know the music industry is harder now then ever and guess I just gave up but I still enjoy singing and putting my videos on RU-vid for people to enjoy. There's always rocky roads guys, just part of life. You guy's are real and you Keep it real and that always speaks for itself. Keep up the awesome work guys and remember... you only live once!!!

nice to see two friends going through the pain that life can bring for both of them and all of us, nobody knows what the other person is going through, great interview

Sou fã do Tom Chaplin.

Pit the radio on is magical.

Kudos to the interviewer. His questions were very good and very disarming.

Thank you for this deep and honest interview. I hope this new era will be kinder to them.

At some point in a bands career they need that little break. So pleased they shared there downs with each other. Also that has brought us a great new album.

Great interview, thank you love Keane for life

im so happy they are back!!!!! i have seen them a few days ago live!! just magnificent fantastic showww!! Love them!!

Thank you for this very honest interview, you are all amazing artists in your own right, it is truly wonderful that you’ve got back together, loved watching you at the Royal Albert Hall on Sunday, very emotional and fantastic xxx

Gracias, excelente entrevista..abierta y sincera, son lo mejor!!! Mucho exito.

Lovely interview. Digging deeply into their feelings

Congratulations to a great interview! This is anything but the usual superficial "we promote our new record" kind of interview. Honesty and a lot of courage to openly speak about a lot of dark times. Tom Chaplin revealing that the old keane had become a toxic and judgmental place. And a long talk of the four of them to avoid old times and simply enjoy. Cause & Effect is an amazing comeback of a band I feared had already made its way into the history books withour return. But it is one of their best albums yet.

It's nice to see him happy after the struggle he faced back in the past and especially in 2015. Keep walking on the brighter road Tom.

30 minute interview. Wow!

Thank you! It was a perfect interview!

Thanks for this interview!

I'll start out by stating the obvious, this was a very tense interview, it made me watching it feel tense at least. I like the fact that Tim views making music with Tom(Keane) more important than any other side project he has(i.e. Mt. Desolation). I just cannot get on board with that. I mean, he(Tim) can co-write songs with someone he's met in recent years, but he cannot help out someone who was there with him at the very beginning of his journey as a musician. And maybe it's Tom, that needed to step out to do his own thing, I don't know...But I wouldn't blame him at all, since I saw an interview with Richard Hughes stating that if not for an accident, he would be part of Mt. Desolation, so Mt. Desolation(although a different music genre) would be Keane without Tom, that made me sad on Tom's behalf. I say that because the one thing that drew me to Keane in the first place was Tom's voice, and then Tim's songwriting. I do think these two are the soul of Keane, if the other two were to go, it wouldn't make much of a difference, although I would really like Richard to stay, he's a really nice chap, and he was there at the start of it. Tim said he was supportive of Tom, but I didn't get that feeling hearing him talk about Tom's solo project and not being able to name one song in his album certainly solidified that assumption, no wonder Tom said Tim was the one he was most nervous of showing his work to. I liked seeing how supportive Richard was of Tom's work, playing drums in one concert, I believe. Always tweeting stuff in support of Tom, I really liked how their friendship strengthened in Keane's break, at least it looks like that. I'm sorry for going completely OT there. I hope Tom gets to express himself creatively through Keane, so he doesn't have to go off on his own to do another project, but if he does, I'm so there, I loved his solo project. I would actually love to see Tom and Tim write songs together, that would be ideal, since Tim said he can do so with others... It made me sad hearing them talk about the hardships they faced since Keane went on hiatus, but I'm glad they were able to overcome them and make good music again together. One more thing, Tom you need to do something about that hair style of yours, it doesn't suit you at all.

I’m excited to see them in Vancouver

Excellent interview

Shame on the 2 people who hit the dislike button.

Amo essa banda!!!O vocalista tem uma das mais linda voz da música...❤️🥰

I love them 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Like Suede, the whole is bigger than the sum of the parts. That said, Tom understandably needed his space….and giving him that enabled Keane to reinvigorate and stay together.

So obsessed with Tim 🥰🥰🥰

Amo demais ❤❤❤

Agente real mente não conhece as pessoas por dentro, qdo vi ele cantando somewhere..... Qdo jovem parecia um anjo e aquela voz doce e a alma tocante, pois infelizmente ele passou por crises profundas...

♥♥♥ Growing up is a long and sometimes painful process. My God! how wonderful these songs are

Thank you very good

La voz más cara del mundo now ...31 agosto 2022 ****

Nice interview. so down to earth and accepting they are...I wonder if they knew they were going through to be asked such challenging questions.... Btw, your camera is out of focus!! that's not odd at all!!

Aprenderé ingles solo para saber que hablan..aunque solo verlos lo disfruto..

Eu amo essa dupla ❤❤

I love TOM.❤️

Belli,bravi che belle buone voci

You Dutched me at Hello 😂😂😂

This interview could have gone another way: "So, tell us about the new Keane record."

their faces at the beginning lmao

I wish I could interview them instead of this man. So nice to see these two together again. Hope they make music for many years to come.

as an asian. philippines specifically its some kinda difficult to understand the english accent. i think i have a migrane. when no subtitle available. but still im watching because i love keane.

What's your favorite track from Cause and Effect? Me: The Way I Feel Put The Radio On Thread Chase The Night Away

Welcomes LOVES!

Tom has 'grown' into a good looking man

Tim has a great thousand-yard stare... like’s seen some sh*t

Sibtitulos en español..por favor!!!

I feel a bit sorry for Tim, apparently excessive touring cost him his marriage. I hope now Keane are back and will be touring again it doesn't put a strain on things back home for him. I believe he has a current partner, and he has two kids from his first marriage.

Yo estoy enamorada de tom Siempre me lo pregunto e imagino como yerno de mi mamá 😁

Spain ****

Lover 10 *****

I wonder who is the person Tim keeps looking at...everytime Tom says smth he clarly doesn't agree with, he looks that way...

19:07

😚😚😚😚😙

Teresa gravitacional with Tom ..keane ...eternety ****

8 dislikes....what's wrong with you guys???

His first question sucked 🤣 They handled it like pros

It's better to be with that guy than to be at home with your wife. That's a fact.

😂🤣

Tom is falling asleep, how un respectful hahaha I'm just kidding, the must be so tired, I understand them.

They don't look particularly comfortable in this interview. The interviewer is TERRIBLE, very amateurish. But maybe they still aren't fully happy with they way things ended within the band and how much of a toll being in a band took on them as people (Tom's addiction, Tim's marriage ending). I'm sure that things will work themselves out, and with the benefit of life experience, they won't let things go the same way they did before.

Tom is incredibly talented and such a brilliant voice. I can't imagine what happens to an ego when you get so much attention like keane did, and it's easy to think it's just the singer who makes those things work. I think it's fair to say his solo stuff is not of the same quality, and that the band contributed in ways that weren't superficially obvious. The same happened to paramore recently (not a great solo album from the singer). Ultimately good artists are agents of truth and the past is what it is.
