Somewhere only we know
4From a The Guardian Article in 2023:
Keane’s Tim Rice-Oxley is such a “classic Victorian dad” when it comes to online culture that he didn’t realise what was happening to the band’s 2004 debut single Somewhere Only We Know until they played festivals last summer. “Not that we’re totally ancient,” he says, “but over 20 years we’ve watched our audience getting older with us, and suddenly there were lots of much younger people. I started asking why, and I started being told about TikTok.”
You could say that Somewhere Only We Know didn’t need the boost. Huge at the time and a reliable live highlight, it was covered by Lily Allen for the John Lewis Christmas advert in 2013. But only recently has it joined Spotify’s elite club of songs with more than 1bn streams. “The rise has been so quick and so massive,” marvels Rice-Oxley. “A few years ago we had a handful of songs that were equally weighted as big singalongs. But that one’s taken on a life that the other songs don’t have. It’s a song that everybody knows.”
