Re: “My Shadow” – iTunes Pre-Order Track 9/30
With these two songs I just feel like I've opened my presents before Christmas...I don't like this sensation lol...So I heard Love is the End and My Shadow by curiosity but won't listen to them again till October 13th! lol It's very stupid but I like surprises ^_^

Re: “My Shadow” – iTunes Pre-Order Track 9/30
Annie, I totally agree ! That's Keane style without any doubt ! This song is really a gem ! I can hear U2 aswell but I think it's more because of the 'Oooh' of Tom as he sings like Bono on this. They can be proud of the result ! I'm totally in love with this song.

sorry Mel, how about you keep the U2 & Sting idea in your head instead!

Re: “My Shadow” – iTunes Pre-Order Track 9/30
Judge my mental status and call me 'crazy' BUT....
on May 22nd, 2008 Keane posted a silloughette photo on km.com and I posted a comment asking Rick if it was
"Peter Pan's Shadow"!!! These lyrics make me wonder if TTR were reading the comments and finding inspiration...
I DARE TO DREAM !!!
(Keane's photo post 22/5...who is it?)
(btw...some anonymous person responded to my comment by writing that I "have the heart of a Peter Pan"...
I'll consider that a compliment and I'd like to thank whoever it was that wrote it because it's true...
I'm turning 22 this Saturday but I still feel like I'm a 12 year old girl...like Fellini said, "Never lose your childish enthusiasm!")

Re: “My Shadow” – iTunes Pre-Order Track 9/30
This song is just sooooo incredible. I see Annie's thought of U2 in there, i must admit im feeling happier now than i was earlier today, everytime i hear a new song it just lifts my spirits and this song just blows me away, they can do no wrong in my eyes, thanks Keane for making yet another belter of a song.

Re: “My Shadow” – iTunes Pre-Order Track 9/30
Aw man, I can't believe I missed the party
Although...
Just shine a light on me
Shine a light
I’ll shine a light on you
Shine a light
That verse immediately struck me as a mashup of Hamburg song and a verse from the Aqualung song Outside...

Locust: It's good, yup. These guys have to take it slowly, I'm telling ya! Bad for the heart, bad, bad.
Slow is the way to go!!! TTR need to keep with depressing songs.

I totally agree with you ! That's what I thought when I first heard the song. Maybe 'With or without you' for U2. And Coldplay for the second half of the song.

Re: “My Shadow” – iTunes Pre-Order Track 9/30
I'm hearing a bit of U2's "Sometime You Can't Make it On Your Own" in there. I'm not sure which Coldplay tune I hear in there, I'm not that big of a fan of them but I hear an idea of them too, but I hear a slightness to Sting too.

Re: “My Shadow” – iTunes Pre-Order Track 9/30
Wow, it's quite the b-side. Overall, I do like it but the lyrics, well, the kind of cheesiness that makes me think of that bit in Maybe I Can Change: "Rain, rain will you ever go away; come back again some other day."
Does anyone else think Tom's voice sounds a bit strained?
annie nyc: I'm not sure which Coldplay tune I hear in there...
I'm thinking Death and All His Friends from Viva La Vida.
