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.

The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine
Keane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A deep shade of blue is always there
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love (Baby)
and nothing to lose but no more to win
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love
Lonely without you baby
Girl I need you, I can't go on
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love (Baby)
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love (Baby)
The sun ain't gonna shine anymore
The moon ain't gonna rise in the sky
The tears are always clouding your eyes
When you're without love (Baby)
The Keane's song "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine" is a poignant reflection on the pain of heartbreak, and the crushing weight of loneliness that follows it. The opening line "Loneliness is a cloak you wear, a deep shade of blue is always there" sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics, indicating that the singer is deeply affected by the end of a relationship.
The chorus "The sun ain't gonna shine anymore, the moon ain't gonna rise in the sky, the tears are always clouding your eyes, when you're without love (baby)" echoes the feelings of despair and hopelessness that can follow a breakup, with the imagery of a sunless sky and constantly clouded eyes creating a bleak and desolate atmosphere.
The second verse "Emptiness is a place you're in, and nothing to lose but no more to win" highlights how the end of a relationship can leave one feeling not just lonely, but devoid of purpose and direction. The repeated line "Lonely without you baby, girl I need you, I can't go on" expresses the intense feelings of longing and dependency that can come with heartbreak.

Algunas personas no aprecian el maravilloso talento de Keane, y lo
increibles que ellos son, enfocandose más
en su refinada apariencia. Pero Tom no tiene la culpa,Dios lo hizo asi,
Hermoso y con una de las mejores voces del mundo
