Did tim write this song or was it tom, because it sound like a song that tom wanted to let out his feeling from when he was on the drugs.

I agree about the backing vocals/harmony. I love the "Oooh, Ooh-Ooh"s, and the harmony is awsome!!<3

I do think it has everything to do with more people. There is three part harmony! YAY! With the new sounds of the harmony and bass, I don't know how anyone could doubt Jesse's value and how he fits in the band so seamlessly. I don't know what his plans are, but at least we will have him for this tour!

My Shadow

Its time to make a start

to get to know your heart

time to show your face

time to take your place

In every speck of dust

in every universe

when you feel most alone

you will not be alone

Just shine your light on me

shine a light

I'll shine a light on you

shine a light

and you will see my shadow on every wall

and you will see my footprint on every floor

It only takes a spark

to tear the world apart

these tiny little things

that make it all begin

Just shine a light on me

shine a light

I'll shine a light on you

shine a light

and you will see my shadow on every wall

and you will see my reflection in your free fall

Oooooh,

Ooh Ooh

Oooooh,

Ooh Ooh

Just shine a light on me

shine a light

I'll shine a light on you

shine a light

'cause when your back's against the wall

that's when you show no fear at all

and when you're running out of time

that's when you hitch your star to mine

we won't be leaving by the same road

that we came by

we won't be leaving by the same road

that we came by

we won't be leaving by the same road

that we came by

we won't be leaving by the same road

that we came by

-again, the lyrics are so right!

-Tom's voice grabs me, once again<3<3<3

-the piano parts creep under my skin

-the drums have me moving in a different way- Thanks Rich! (ok, so it's not a dance tune-I am still compelled to move :P )

-the arrangement and delivery of the backing vocals - is wonder-full! I'm so glad Richard is singing, and that Jesse is there, too!

Did I say I loved this song? I DO!

I can't stop listening - this song has regained my daughter as a Keane fan!

She has been enjoying The Lovers Are Losing, and Love Is The End, too- but My Shadow had her singing along by the second listen, and she replayed it herself, not me!<3

Tim's lyrics- just make him even more amazing than I thought,

I wish I could sit unnoticed in a corner of their lives, listening to them write and record so I could hear exactly how it happens...

Oh man, I cannot wait to hear this live-will they play this on tour???? PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE???!!!!

[I hear it beginning with "In every speck of dust."
Unless I'm way off, which is plausible as I lack in instrumental expertise. But there's a distinct sound in the background.

I jacked the volume up on my headphones and I heard what you're talking about....but I can't tell what it is! And now it's going to drive me nuts. It almost sounds like a clicking; like a click track or something, but I can't tell if it's that, reverb from the piano, a guiro, or maybe even a cabasa ,

(and on a geeky side note I saw one attached to a kick drum pedal - very spiffy as I'd never seen that before). Anyways, I may be entirely wrong on all those guesses, but I do hear it.

I just love it! It's sonically simple and quiet but awesome. Just like the old Keane style I fell in love with. Thanks Jill and Emily for sharing this one with me!! ^^

I also like the bass..and there's this noise in the background that reminds me of this certain instrument. But I don't know the name of it. It's like a spiral shape and you rub a stick against it?

A guiro?

YES! That's it! lol.

I think I like the last couple of minutes best; when the song picks up after the guitar solo/"oohs". I also really love the harmony/backing vocals in this song. I think that's something that seems to be a lot stronger with this album so far. I don't know if it's because there's more people adding to the BV's this time or what, but I love it.

Totally agree. It would also be a treat if Tim or Richard could even sing a verse in one of their new songs, like in Sunshine.:)
