They met while at Tonbridge School together. The band currently comprises Tom Chaplin (lead vocals, electric/acoustic guitar), Tim Rice-Oxley (piano, synthesisers, bass guitar, backing vocals), Richard Hughes (drums, percussion, backing vocals), and Jesse Quin (bass guitar, acoustic/electric guitar, backing vocals). Their original line-up included founder and guitarist Dominic Scott, who left in 2001.

Keane achieved mainstream, international success with the release of their debut album Hopes and Fears in 2004. Topping the UK charts, the album won the 2005 Brit Award for Best British Album and was the second best-selling British album of 2004. It is one of the best-selling albums in UK chart history. Their second album, Under the Iron Sea, released in 2006, topped the UK album charts and debuted at number four on the US Billboard 200. Their third album Perfect Symmetry was released in October 2008.

In May 2008, both Hopes and Fears (number 13) and Under the Iron Sea (number 8) were voted by readers of Q magazine as among the best British albums ever, with Keane, The Beatles, Oasis and Radiohead the only artists having two albums in the top 20. In 2009, Hopes and Fears was listed as the ninth best-selling album of the 2000s decade in the UK. Their EP Night Train was released in May 2010. Their fourth studio album Strangeland was released in May 2012 and peaked at number one on the UK Albums Chart.

Keane are known for using keyboards as the lead instrument instead of guitar, differentiating them from most other rock bands. The inclusion of a distorted piano effect in 2006 and various synthesisers were a common feature in their music which developed on the second and third albums. Keane have sold over 13 million records worldwide.

After the release of their compilation album The Best of Keane in 2013, the band took a hiatus, lasting nearly 5 years.

The band returned after the hiatus with new music, announcing their fifth studio album titled Cause and Effect on 6 June 2019 and releasing the lead single from the album "The Way I Feel". A collection of the songs were written by Tim Rice-Oxley during his divorce, and after discussions with Tom who had visited Tim the previous year, decided to proceed with recording the songs for the album. Cause and Effect was released on 20 September 2019. After the release of the album, the band embarked on the Cause and Effect Tour, visiting Europe and Latin America, before the remainder of the tour was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Can't Stop Me Now
Keane Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I noticed tonight that the world has been turning
While I've been stood here, dithering around
Though I know I said I'd wait around 'til you need me
I have to go, I hate to let you down

But I can't stop now
I've got troubles of my own
'Cause I'm short on time

I'm lonely and I'm
Too tired to talk

I noticed tonight that the world has been turning
While I've been stuck here, withering away
Though I know I said I wouldn't leave you behind
But I have to go, it breaks my heart to say

But I can't stop now
I've got troubles of my own
'Cause I'm short on time
I'm lonely and I'm
Too tired to talk

To no one

Back home
I've got troubles of my own
And I can't slow down
For no one in town
And I can't stop now

And I can't slow down
For no one in town
And I can't stop now
For no one

The motion keeps my heart from you
The motion keeps my heart from you

The motion keeps my heart from you
The motion keeps my heart from you

Overall Meaning

"Can't Stop Now" by Keane is a song about the internal battle of being there for someone you care about, but also needing to take care of yourself. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been waiting around for someone and is torn between staying with that person and pursuing his own needs. He acknowledges that the world keeps turning, time is short, and he cannot wait any longer. The chorus, "I can't stop now, I've got troubles of my own" indicates that there are other things going on in his life that demand his attention, and he cannot focus solely on the needs of others.

Throughout the song, the repetitive phrase "the motion keeps my heart from you," suggests that the singer is also battling with his own emotions; he is pulled in different directions but ultimately feels that he must move forward with his own life. The bridge reveals that there are issues back home that are causing stress and require his attention.

The overall message of "Can't Stop Now" is that sometimes, we have to make difficult choices, even if it breaks our hearts, in order to take care of ourselves and our own needs.

Line by Line Meaning

I noticed tonight that the world has been turning
I just realized that time has been moving on without me

While I've been stood here, dithering around
I've been wasting my time being indecisive

Though I know I said I'd wait around 'til you need me
I promised to be there for you when you need me but I can't keep waiting

I have to go, I hate to let you down
I have to leave but I feel bad about disappointing you

But I can't stop now
I can't afford to slow down or put my life on hold

I've got troubles of my own
I have personal problems that need my attention

'Cause I'm short on time
I don't have much time to spare

I'm lonely and I'm
I feel alone and

Too tired to talk
I don't have the energy to talk to anyone right now

Back home
In my personal life

And I can't slow down
I can't afford to take it easy

For no one in town
I won't slow down for anyone around me

And I can't stop now
I can't afford to stop moving

The motion keeps my heart from you
The busyness of my life is preventing me from being emotionally available for you

The motion keeps my heart from you
The fast-paced nature of my life is keeping me from being emotionally present

The motion keeps my heart from you
The constant movement and change is affecting my ability to connect with you

I noticed tonight
That the world has been turning
While I've been stood here
Dithering around

Though, I know I said I'd wait around till you need me
I have to go
I hate to let you down

But I can't stop now
I've got troubles of my own
'Cause I'm short on time
I'm lonely and I'm too tired to talk

I noticed tonight
That the world has been turning
While I've been stuck here
Withering away
Though, I know I said I wouldn't leave you behind
But I have to go
It breaks my heart to say

That I can't stop now
I've got troubles of my own
'Cause I'm short on time
I'm lonely and I'm too tired to talk

To no one back home
I've got troubles of my own
And I can't slow down for no one in town
And I can't stop now

And I can't slow down for no one in town
And I can't stop now for no one
The motion keeps my heart running
The motion keeps my heart running
The motion keeps my heart running
The motion keeps my heart running
