I'd heard Keane's first two singles and thought "I'll check their album out eventually", but as soon as I heard Bedshaped I was hooked. It was the first time in years that I have heard a song and then gone out and bought the single - not for just the B-sides or to support an artist - but because I genuinely loved the song.
The B-sides are good - I still haven't got the album so I can't compare quality.
The video is strange but very well made, and an excellent addition to the CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars worth it for the B sides alone!, 12 Sep 2004

By A Customer

what can i say? keane have done it again with the fantastic new single, bedshaped, as usual strong, heartfelt melodies with spine tingling piano playing make this song so much better than some of the stuff in the charts at the moment, and i'm a dance/house music fan! the video is great as well.

the one extra-amazing thing about keane though has to be their B-Sides. words cannot describe how good "SNOWED UNDER" on the Somewhere Only We Know single is, along with "TO THE END OF THE EARTH" on the Everybodys Changing single, and finally the absoultely astounding "SOMETHING IN ME WAS DYING" on here which could easily be a top 10 single in itself. the 3 singles are really worth purchasing for the b-sides alone & i *seriously recommend* just that for anyone who vaguely likes keane, or fans who own the album but haven't bought the singles...they really are THAT good! and, dare i say it, better than some of the album tracks!

all in all a fantastic package & one that does not disappoint when compared with the previous 2 singles & album, the video is even included. a must buy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Magnificent, 19 Sep 2004

By	Richard White "withnail101" (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Its a hard task to follow 2 instant classic singles - 'Somewhere only we know' and 'Everybodys changing' but Keane have outdone themselves with Bedshaped. My personal favorite of the 3 it has beautiful soaring lyrics and knee weakening piano chords. It is a song about pain and alienation but is none the worse for that. Try and check out the video which is absolutely mind blowingly good - extremely powerful and moving.
I was initially suspicious of Keane as they have no guitarist - not the recipe for a great rock band, I thought. How wrong can you be? Genuine talent and superb music.

I have to admit as much as I love this song and it's video, it can be really sad if you are feeling down. (It made me cry the first time I saw/heard it. Read more

Bedshaped is my favourite song from Keane's album, so I'm glad they released it. Basically, it's a song about alienation which starts off like a tune by Sigur Ros, and then... Read more
