There's something very special when the artist themselves teach us how to play one of their songs.

Funny story: I was searching for someone to teach me this song. I saw a few versions but nobody played it without lyrics. I came across this version and forwarded the beginning and said “oh cool, this guy really knows how to play it and he is showing us just like the band LOL (to boot, he is exceptionally good looking and has a great accent). So naturally I went to subscribe in case he has other songs he is teaching and realized I am already a subscriber. So I looked at his name and said “wow” how did he get to use Keane as his name... I went back to the beginning and listened to him talk and realized who he was. Shocker...he is giving out his recipe??? I am so thankful for your generosity. You just doubled down on why you all are some of the best artists in the world today. Over here in the States they don’t give you the recognition you deserve. Love you guys and I feel blessed to be alive in your era. Thanks again Tim.

The only good thing that Covid left us is Tim teaching us how to play this beautiful song 💛

I love Tim's style of piano. So melodic and non classical. He makes piano stylish.

Let's karaoke 12:24 😀 I walked across an empty land I knew the pathway like the back of my hand I felt the earth beneath my feet Sat by the river, and it made me complete Oh, simple thing, where have you gone? I'm getting old, and I need something to rely on So tell me when you're gonna let me in I'm getting tired, and I need somewhere to begin I came across a fallen tree I felt the branches of it looking at me Is this the place we used to love? Is this the place that I've been dreaming of? Oh, simple thing, where have you gone? I'm getting old, and I need something to rely on So tell me when you're gonna let me in I'm getting tired, and I need somewhere to begin And if you have a minute, why don't we go Talk about it somewhere only we know? This could be the end of everything So why don't we go Somewhere only we know? Oh, simple thing, where have you gone? I'm getting old, and I need something to rely on So tell me when you're gonna let me in I'm getting tired, and I need somewhere to begin And if you have a minute, why don't we go Talk about it somewhere only we know? This could be the end of everything So why don't we go? So why don't we go? This could be the end of everything So why don't we go Somewhere only we know Somewhere only we know Somewhere only we know? Songwriters: Richard David Hughes / Timothy James Rice-Oxley / Tom Chaplin

One of the greatest songs ever written in my books. This is brilliant Tim for you to share this in these desperate times. Wonderful. Thank you so much

Don't understand a word of what he's saying but I'm just so excited to see Tim. He is such a treat, I could stare at him all day. 💕💋💞🥰🎀

Thank you Tim! Everybody's Changing would be a good one next 😁

Mi Tim 😍😍 lo considero el Mozart de estos tiempos 💙💙💙

Best thing that could ever happen on this quarantine 🥺💛

I still remember when I was 16 and I asked to my music Teacher to taught me a song with a music sheet that I found on the Internet that it didn't sound the same. 17 years later, Tim sent me the gift.🥰

Thank you, Tim! I learned this masterpiece within months (slow learner hehe). So, I stamped the breakdown for me to learn it: 01:52 Intro 03:24 Verse 1 03:57 Pre-Chorus 1 04:22 Verse 2 (same as 1:52 introduction) 05:19 Pre-Chorus 2 07:04 Chorus 1 08:48 Drop Section 09:21 Pre-Chorus 2 Chorus 2 (same as Chorus 1) 10:24 Drop Outro 12:24 Tim's Full Demo 12:46 Verse 1 13:09 Pre-Chorus 1 13:32 Verse 2 13:54 Pre-Chorus 2 14:17 Chorus 14:40 Drop Section 14:51 Pre-Chorus 3 15:14 Chorus 2 15:37 Reprise Chorus 15:59 Drop Outro 16:12 Drop Outro Last Chord

After watching this i can say i've been playing it about 70% right over the last 10 years or so. Tim is such a gifted and humble song-writer

I don't even have a piano or have any idea of how to play, yet I watched the whole thing. It was so soothing. What about Silenced by the Night for the next one?

Wha..why would anyone dislike this?? This is the real deal! That's THE artist teaching us how to play their song, how many artists actually do that? Big respect for you Tim! You are amazing! ❤

That chord progression is kind of "emotional" without the lyrics. Anyone else get the same feeling?

Great to see that Tim is doing well - this was a brilliant idea and I hope this video is the first of many. I would be completely invested on a series of Tim teaching us how to play literally every Keane song (assuming he still remembers the likes of Untitled 2 for example!)

This is one of the most beautiful and emotive chord progressions in all of music. We’re privileged to have the composer talk us through it. Thanks Tim.

The piano chords in this song is so perfect tbh

This is the song that made me fall in love with playing the piano again. Thank you.

Tod@s: profe me perdí !!! Tim: Donde ? Tod@s: en su mirada 🙈🙊

This was awesome Tim. I grew up tearing your songs apart to learn them and play them from memory - ended up majoring in music in college in part because of you guys. It’s very cathartic to have the man himself teach me the song that started it for me!

That's increíble. So few musicians do This stuff, and is very important for people like me, who are learning music... You re so nice with us. Thank You very much

Tim, I think you can't imagine how much happiness it brings to see you explaining how to play a song I'm listening, singing and playing for years now, a song that only reflects a tiny part of all what Keane means for me and so much at the same time, your song. Just thank you, that's so pure and sweet. ♥

I actually think you are one of the most technical piano players . The subtle not and chord changes in every song are so subtle but recognisable . Great video

Excelente video Tim, un hermoso regalo para los que practicamos piano y a los que disfrutamos tu música alrededor del mundo 👏. Saludos desde Argentina 🙌

"Those who mock simplicity will always be conquered by it." Thank you for this tutorial.

Don't even have a piano. Best believe I still watched the whole thing.

I love it! Beautiful! I was to Keanes wonderful consert in Malmö this evening and now I just don't want to say goodbye just yet so I have to stay up and watch these things. Thank you for a wonderful time tonight❤

2:19 Tim: Pretty simple -Me: :C ... Watch again 0.25x speed by the way ... I love how he seems nervous and so shy talking to the camera, and that smile, and his eyes, and his shaved beard... and playing the piano...

Me voy comprando el piano ❤️🇦🇷

I am beyond thrilled to learn about this song and band and to have an intimate, dedicated video that explains the thought process behind and way to play such a lovely song. I think I was perhaps sold a million times over when Tim said that Brian Wilson was inspiration, and the mention of Pet Sounds just made me feel so elated. I can say that I’ve decided to pursue music and make that what I want to do in life after having listened to that album. It’s really fantastic, and to hear such a direct honoring of that album and the man behind it is just phenomenal. At the very beginning I was thinking just ever so slightly the intro chord, the way that it’s played with the high A voicing, it made me think a bit of the intro to God Only Knows. The bit where Tim mentions voicing a chord with a bass note other than the root was good to hear too, and I would agree that there is definitely lots of uplifting movement in this song! Thank you for posting this video. Beyond the connections I identified with, it’s just extremely cool to see firsthand how the masters of their crafts lay out what they did and where they had their minds going when creating art.

Tim, you say you are taking suggestions, can the next song be Nothing in my way or A bad dream? The piano of both of those songs kill me in a good way

Thank U Tim! please teach us "This is the last time" 🙏

Hi Tim. My daughter (and I) are huge fans and she is learning every single little move on the piano thanks to your video! We are looking so much forward to seeing you in Hamburg 8th of August! Thanks for the beautiful music.

I wish I'd had this video 12 years ago, when I played this song for my music class. Now finally I be able to play it the right way. Thank you Tim, you are the best! ❤️ Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱

Thank you for being my hero. Thank you for this tutorial. #Respect to you Tim.

Am I the only one who sang the song as he played?? What a great tune and lesson!

Thank You so much! I don't think You realize what this means to us. I almost cry while watching this. Love from Argentina!

His eyes are amazing Like an Angel 🙏🤗❣️

Tim is really a Master of the piano and that's why Chris Martin wanted him to join Coldplay at the beggining

Thank you Tim! So kind of you to share how to play your beautiful song with us. "Oh simple thing!" indeed. See you soon in New York City (and please play Your Eyes Open for Sara when you come! 😉)

Qué bonito es Tim, genial!!! 🤩 Saludos desde Iquitos Selva del Perú . Keane me acompaña cada día y a donde vaya, qué feliz me siento de recordar el día que los escuché en vivo en Lima Perú el 22/11/2019 puedo dejar este mundo en paz si me toca 🥺

Very, very generous and public-spirited of you do this, Tim. This may not be complex like Franz Liszt or even some of the great jazz gospel pianists' harmonies but that doesn't prevent it from being utterly brilliant. Great lyrics and melodies need great accompaniments to become truly great tracks. YOU have absolutely made one here. Watching you perform on several of the Keane I have had the good fortune to discover in the last few weeks, I had no idea you'd turn out to be such a wonderfully warm person and teacher. What a great combination you and Tom are, as well as the other guys who provide such support. Seems to me you've cracked the chemistry, that magical blend and balance those Liverpool lads had. Respect and nurture it, it's very precious.

This is fascinating, it makes my dream of snooping over Tim's shoulder come true 😁. Thank you for doing it! I can't help it, I need to request Perfect Symmetry.

It would be great to have a lesson on "Myth" or "Black burning heart" (acoustic version). That'd be a dream come true.

Awww Tim thank you for the lesson 💖 Stay healthy 💖

A great gift because of your own advices. This title means a lot for me, musics are the book of our lives, and this title represents a special part of my life. I "lost" persons for different reasons. Black burning heart has the same effect too. These two titles remind me of especially my Aunt Monique.

1'st of all , i can't even put into words how i feel about this song ! the first time i heard it i was out with my family for a drive and it came on the radio , i Jumped to turn it up after just maybe 5 notes if that , Everything in me Knew i Loved it Right away !

WOAH !!! searching for the tutorial …DID NOT expect the tutorial from the OG pianist to show up 😮 Thanks Tim 🫡

Muy dear Tim, it's so nice to see you again. Love all the songs you've created. We know you've had some rough times, but nice to see you well. We'll be waiting for more piano videos and the stories you'd like to share with us your fans. Good bless you!!!

I was playing the bass to this and stumbled across this piano tutorial…..what a modest guy Tim is.Brilliant.

Strange times indeed ... but hope you guys are doing good! And also everyone reading this! Thanks for this lesson and all your beautiful music! Stay safe everyone.

Todavía me veo a mis 18 años viendo tutoriales en YT para tocar este tema en el teclado, prácticamente lo saqué de oído y lo que me gustaba era eso, que era simple! Soy tu fan, Tim! Gracias!

Omg! So glad to have come across your page and this tutorial while I'm doing my search. It is indeed so very special to have the artist teach us this beautiful piece :)

Qué mejor que aprenderla desde su autor. Thank you Tim, we'd be very grateful if you do more tutorials, specially for Everybody's Changing. Lots of love from Chile 🇨🇱 it was a pleasure to see you guys live in the capital Santiago.

Your sound on the piano has always been the mark of you..thank you Tim

So great Tim. Thank you. Stay safe and well.

Gracias Tim!!!! You saved my quarantine, this video is a great motivation to star to practice keyboard again!!! Greetings from Paraguay 🇵🇾

Tim, I hope you’re doing well. I play your music daily to my 4 year old daughter, Lily. She says she wants to grow up and be a “Keane song singer” one day. Thank you for your beautiful music.

Exceptionally talented Tim, Bravo!! Hearing you play the piano, and listening to Tom in Blackpool around 2002 (Supporting Travis) I was hooked. Still the very best support act I’ve ever seen in my life, and naturally now you are my favourite band. Stay safe, and Thankyou so much for being so amazing xx

The greatest lesson with detailed explanations for a beautiful song that I have not stopped loving since I first heard it.

OMG good reason for me to start studying piano again. This is coolest piano class ever! Thank you so much! SOWK is one of the loveliest existing songs on Earth and the first I one I fell in love from Keane songs. Bunches of love to you!

So cool 😄 Thanks for this!

You are an inspiration for me... Thank you so much for show us how it is this magical song. I almost cried in the end of the video because of the emotion that i felt thanx to you.

One of the best pianos I've heard in Keane's music is Russian Farmer's song. What an underestimated song! :-) How about a tutorial on this song? Thanks for making our lockdown days better! You're second to none, guys! All my love and appreciation!

Thank you for teaching this. I would like to learn how to play Everybody's changing 🙏🙌🏼

I love you Tim ❤ always very comforting to come back to this video as it was indeed a rough time for everyone and having your videos really helped to make everything a bit better ❤️

Thank you very much, Tim. I can't play piano yet, but it's real pleasure to see you and to watch your lesson. You are amazingly talented and beautiful human being. Love from Russia ❤️

I can not believe, I am learning this song from you. I tried to learned when KZfaq beggan and barely I could find a tutorial. I am a big fan from México. Thank you very much, it means so much to me.

I think i speak for everyone when i say you should do all of hopes & fears 😁🤣

I Love to Play it. i learned the First 2 Parts 2 Years ago. But When Tim explain it, it is so cool that i now Continue this Song so that i can Play it completely. Ist would be so fantastic of You Tim could Teach us More Songs. Everybody’s changing. Bedshaped bend and break. ❤️❤️. Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Tim 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hello Tim, I had the honor to come into you and have a small talk, Thank you cause you were so kind when I run into you inside of the Hall´s Four Seasons Hotel in México City.. My daughter is Lilac and she is watching the tutorial with me right now 👧🏻 🙋🏻‍♂️

This is amazing, thank you so much Tim! Any future tutorials are appreciated but 'Everybody's changing' or 'Silenced by the night' would be fantastic

Thanks for the video, i'm trying to play this with my guitar at home, i like your music since i was 13 years old, greetings from Italy, God Bless you and the band.

Love this. Tim is differently level. Absolute Genius!! Leaving this here so when someone comments I will come back and watch this again! 😀

Amazing tutorial Tim, thanks so much. It would be awesome if you did a tutorial of Bedshaped, the piano on that song is just beautiful

Bend and break :D haha but you have to teach us how to move and almost hit ouserlves with the piano too haha ⚡ wanna loose it out when I play, like you do hahaha

Huge Keane fan. Total piano beginner--I don't know which keys are which notes. Every few years I try to learn a song on the piano and give up out of frustration. I watched this video (over and over) and after practicing for a couple hours a day for two weeks I can play the whole song with just a few mistakes here and there. The section breakdown and chord discussion gave me the hooks needed to learn it and stick with it. I'm having so much fun. Thank you, Tim! I'm working on Strange Room now. Songs I'd love to see: Sea Fog, Bend & Break, Pretend That You're Alone.

Toda la simplicidad que vos quieras, pero esta es de las mejores canciones de la vidaaaaa... gracias Tim ❤ 🇦🇷

Tim, thank goodness you've posted this. There are so many "versions" on the net and none seem to work! I've sent the link to this to our keyboard player and advised her to learn this prompto! Wonderful to see the writer of a song walking through the structure. My suggestion for next up is The Frog Prince!

This is so lovely. I already know how to play this song but watching this still taught me so many things. Thank you Tim!

Amazing band with amazing musicians but most importantly most amazing people. Love from the US

im not very good at the piano or keyboard but watching Tim do a tutorial kinda helped learn the song better and try to understand the notes better but would a great video i would love for Tim to do more song tutorials

Raise your hand if you also heard Richard drumming and Tom singing when Tim played the whole song

Long time ago I try to learn playing piano, I'm trying again, thanks for sharing Tim, I'm going to do my best. I love this song and is also my mother's favorite song.♥️♥️♥️

I have been playing piano 2 years and first time for me and I am 54. I will keep working on this. thanks Keane!

Hi Tim thank you so much ....... You have composed a modern classic. What beautiful chords and enchanted lyric.hope you and everybody are well, It's so inspiring when you get to see you heroes , and see them play, and talk about there songs. So kind of you to do this. Thank so, So, much.....take care bye....🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹

Tim, I'm so glad to know you're okay, Thank you so much for this. We love you so much!!!!

Ein wirklich sympathischer und bescheidener junger Mann. Ich bin Musiklehrer, meine SuS wollten den song singen und ich denke, meine SuS haben Geschmack bewiesen.

Amazing, thank you Tim. I think a Russian Farmer's Song tutorial would be very very interesting... well every Keane song tutorial would be wonderful.

Tim, Thank you so much. Explained perfectly. Im not a super technical pianist either so your methods suit me perfectly. I play with an artist called Harpa and she always wanted her band to cover this and thanks to this video of yours, I can finally do it justice. Superb chord changes, excellent little touches, all little tricks that has taught me so much as a writer but most importantly to smash out this banger of a CHOOON whilst head banging as I believe that how you want it played. Cheers mate top man

Thanks for this tutorial. I'm not familiar with the piano, I can only scratch a few chords on a guitar. I have tried to translate those things to the guitar and I noticed how those small "details " enrich the song. Somewhere Only We Know is special to me, because that's the very first song I heard from Keane. Thank you guys for your amazing work! If you are taking suggestions, I'd love a tutorial on Love is the End or On a Day Like Today. Cheers from Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷

Thanks a lot for this máster class Many years without playing the piano ...from university. I really like to see chords that clearly distinguish the keane sound. Regards

Thanks Tim. Im saving the video so i can learn to play the song. But im also waiting for a Keane Live. Each one at home. For now my love to all and Stay Safe ♥♥♥♥

This is just amazing, I was watching random videos on KZfaq and then this awesome video appeared in suggestions. This is the first song I chose to learn in piano, and watching Tim actually making a tutorial made me waaaay excited. The super-talented pianist of my favorite band making a tutorial of how to play this song is like a good dream. I opened the video and ran to my piano without thinking for a second. Thanks Tim!, thanks Keane! The best thing of the quarantine without doubt. Keane is the best band, and you keep surprising me on every step. Love you guys ♥️

One of my favorite songs, they are the reason i'm learning to play the piano, thanks for the tutorial. i love it.

Thank you ever so much again for making your wonderful tutorials, Tim 🙏❤🙏 Happy 2nd Anniversary to this SOWK stunner! Eternally grateful you've given me, all of us, the endless joy of playing this incredible song 🙏✨❤

Thank you so much for this tutorial!!!! I've been wanting to do a cover of this forever with my guitar but could never find any tutorial or chord sheet that seemed reliable enough Now I'll know what I'll be doing for the next couple days; I'm so excited :)

Thanks for the tutorial Tim!! It will be great if you teach us Bend and break 🤞🤞😇
