This last album is about\nwhat you have been through a couple of years ago. Have you already written\nsongs about the next phase of your life ?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Tim) I don\u2019t know \u2026 I have written some songs\nrecently. But I\u2019m not really sure what they are about, I\u2019m not really sure what\nthe next phase in my life is. I think that if I am writing about anything at\nthe moment, it is probably just of life uncertainty. So more happy songs\n(laughs). I find it takes me a long time to articulate what I want to say about\nanything, years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>So this\nis a long process then ?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Tim) Yeah, it\u2019s a long process. I think if you want\nto say something &#8211; well, for me anyway &#8211; if I want to say something meaningful,\nit takes a long time to understand what it is I want to say. And I think I need\nsome perspective on life to do that so &#8211; yeah &#8211; it takes years. I\u2019m very slow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>(The Way\nI Feel)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>What was\nthe last time you laughed, and the last time you cried ?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Jesse) Well, we laugh all the time, don\u2019t we\n? We do laugh a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Tim) We do laugh a lot, yeah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Who is\nthe joker of the band ?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Jesse) Tom more so now, isn\u2019t he ? These days, he\u2019s\nfunnier that he used to be (laughs). Not mega funny but \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Tim) He tries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Jesse) He does try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Tim) No, he\u2019s very funny. I think we all have our\nmoments, don\u2019t we ? We have a lot of history together I suppose, so there\u2019s a\nlot to laugh about. And it\u2019s nice that we entertain each other. There is quite\na lot of waiting around, when you are in a band, so it\u2019s nice if you can laugh.\nAnd sometimes you need a bit laugh to get you through difficult times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>You laugh\nmore than you cry nowadays, so that\u2019s good.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Jesse) Yeah I hope so. I can\u2019t remember the last time\nI cried \u2026 I think the last time I cried was watching \u00ab&nbsp;The\nKominsky Method \u00bb or something. Which was supposed to be funny (laughs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>(Tear Up\nThis Town)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Do you\nwant to try and do a symphonic concert ?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Jesse) Do you mean what ? With an orchestra ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Yeah. On\nstage.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Jesse) I tell you what would be fun. Do you remember\nwhen we were at the China army, and we met the Chinese traditional folklore\norchestra ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, working with an orchestra that uses instruments\nthat we don&rsquo;t understand. I would love to do that, rather than working with a\ntraditional European orchestra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Tim) I think it\u2019d be really interesting if we could\nmake some music together or write something especially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>So, try\nto be something new ?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Tim) Yeah, something new. I\u2019m always hesitant to say\nthese sorts of things : \u00ab&nbsp;we would never do that&nbsp;\u00bb. Because in two\nyears later you are doing it. But I always find it a bit naff when people &#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Jesse) Get an orchestra to play<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Tim) Yeah, this sort of orchestral tour<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Jesse) Or like it fits, cause an orchestra did a lot\nof Queen songs (laughs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Tim) Well, yeah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Jesse) We would have to be mad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Tim) I think it would be really great to do something\nnew &#8211; with any kind of orchestra. But I think I love the idea of when &#8211; like\nwhen we were in Beijing &#8211; you hear a style of music and all sounds that are\ncompletely new, to me anyway. That\u2019s pretty exciting, because you think you\nhave heard it all sometimes, and it\u2019s great to hear whole new sounds being\ncreated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>So it\ncould be a Night Train part 2.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Tim) Yeah that would be good, that would be good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Jesse) Fright Train<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>(On the\nroad)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>You\u2019ve\nbeen touring again for a few months now. How does it feel to be on the road\nagain &#8211; since so many years. Did anything change during touring ?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Tim) I love it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Jesse) I feel like quite a lot has changed. It&rsquo;s\neasier and harder. Do you know what I mean ? So it\u2019s harder to be away from\nhome, because we\u2019ve all got family and kids. But it\u2019s easier in that we are\nnicer to ourselves or something. I mean we are all healthier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Tim) Yeah, we are in the same place in our lives, and\nthat helps you to understand each other\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Does that\nmean you are all happier than before ?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Tim) I think, day to day, if you are around the same\nfour people every day, it helps if you understand each other and support each\nother. Because otherwise, if you can\u2019t understand each other, people get angry\nor upset and you can\u2019t understand why. And that can make everyday difficult.\nAnd that\u2019s the same in any relationship. But it\u2019s a lot easier if you\u2019re\nworking to understand yourselves and each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Jesse) It\u2019s nice to be with all of us having kids. It\nfeels like we act as a bit of a support group for each other, don\u2019t we ? I\nmean, someone has always got something that they are worried, about one of\ntheir kids. And we all say \u00ab&nbsp;I\u2019ve been worried about mine because\nblablabla&nbsp;\u00bb, and then we offer our support, which is really nice.\nEspecially for men, who are terrible at doing that sort of things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>(Everybody\u2019s\nchanging)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Your\ncommunication as a band goes a lot through social media nowadays. Was it easy\nfor you to get used to that new way of communicating ?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Jesse) I feel like &#8211; people look at it like it&rsquo;s just\none thing, but there&rsquo;s a lot more to it. There\u2019s these sorts of news element of\nit trying to get information across the people, which is one thing. But then\nthe side of it that I find hard is trying to do anything that feels authentic &#8211;\ndo you know what I mean ? Rather than just bombard people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>And do\nyou get involved into the social media strategy at some point ? Or is it just\nyou tweeting ?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Jesse) We say if something doesn\u2019t feel right, don\u2019t\nwe ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Tim) Yeah, we do have opinions on that. To me, the\nway it works best is when you are authentic. Because trying to be \u2026&nbsp; some people are very natural with that stuff\nand they are great at being crazy or super enthusiastic or relentlessly posting\nnew stuff. And that&rsquo;s great, that&rsquo;s suits social media very well. But&nbsp; if you are not like that &#8211; which I don&rsquo;t\nthink we are &#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Well,\nRichard has been on social media for a while, on Twitter.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Jesse) Yes, he has got a lot to say. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>About\nbicycles.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Jesse) Bicycles and coffee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Tim) But that social media is a true representation\nof him &#8211; as well of me. So, we have to make sure that it always feels like we\nare really being who we are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Jesse) And not doing it just because we feel like\nthat\u2019s what we are supposed to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Tim) We are not trying to fit into someone else\u2019s\nidea of what we should be, I guess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>And last\nyear you launched the Thread group on Facebook. Do you sometimes go to the\ngroup and read what fans are talking about ?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Tim) No (laughs). I\u2019m not even on Facebook. But\npeople tell me about it sometimes. I think it\u2019s a really good thing<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Cause\nthere is a lot going on. On this group.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Tim) Is there ? What do we need to know ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Well, go\non the group and you\u2019ll know it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Jesse) There used to be a forum, didn\u2019t there ? Do\nyou remember the forum was sort of bit of a blessing and a curse ? Because some\npeople would just argue about things, and that they would be unpleasant with\neach other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>But\nthere\u2019s not a lot of arguments, I think on this new Thread group. t\u2019s kind of\npositive. And a lot of sharing between fans<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Tim) I have always felt like, generally, there&rsquo;s a\nlot of positivity with Keane fans, which is a great thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have always felt very connected to people and when\nwe started, I made the first website for Keane. And the first forum. So, you\nnever lose that sense of wanting to be connected and feeling responsible, I\nthink we still feel responsible and if somebody is on Twitter complaining that\nthey\u2019ve &#8211; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Jesse) They\u2019re complaining with the album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Tim) Yeah exactly and then we feel like we need to do\nsomething about this &#8211; ourselves. I think if I went on Thread, I would start to\nfeel very stressed out, very quickly. Possibly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>So which\nsocial media is your favourite one ? Instagram ? Twitter ?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Jesse) I quite like Instagram, although I feel like\nthey have over-complicated it now. I liked it when it was just a stream of photos,\nbut now, it\u2019s kind of like &#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>You are\nnot into stories.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Jesse) I\u2019m trying. Because my attitude on that sort\nof things &#8211; I dislike it but I also feel like I don&rsquo;t want to be one of those\npeople who ends up being old and grumpy with all the young people. Because it\u2019s\nthe way the world is going. So I think it&rsquo;s important to try and find the way\nof engaging with it that is authentic and feels right for you. For me, all I\nwant to do is really take the odd photo that I think is cool or tell people what\nmusic I like. If anyone tried to make me do anything else, I\u2019d just stop\nenjoying it. I like doing that, but I won\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>So you\nwon\u2019t let your labels tell you what to do on social medias ?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Jesse) They sometimes do stuff, but we are like\n\u00ab&nbsp;no&nbsp;\u00bb (laughs).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Phases) Tim, most of your work is inspired by your personal experiences.
