[change] Information about songs

[change] Everybody's Changing

(Simplified) "The song is about trying to find where you are in the world, while some of the people around you are doing different things. Tim wrote it while we were really hoping to get anywhere as a band, and we were watching all our friends doing something with their lives, while we were stuck getting nowhere, and not knowing if we were doing the right thing" [1]

[change] To The End Of The Earth

It was composed in guitar. A demo version played on guitar was recorded too. It was composed by Tim Rice-Oxley in 2000. It was re-recorded for the single.

[change] Fly To Me

It has been considered several times as Keane's most beautiful song. Official sheet music is found on the Wise Publication's book of Hopes and Fears.

[change] The Way You Want It

Is an piano/voice song that appeared only on the Fierce Panda. It appears on the Strangers DVD but is not credited. "The Way You Want It is a white-album influenced..." [2]
