Russian Farmer's Song was composed by Tim in about 1999 (I think) after he read the novel Anna Karenina :) However, the band didn't actually record the song properly until 2013 when Keane released 'The Best Of Keane' compilation album. They invited Dominic Scott (who was originally in the band until 2001, 3 years before they released their debut album) to record the guitar on this song. So this song is the only Keane song that contains all 5 past and present members of the band!

Absolutely love this song, probably my favourite Keane track of all time.

This song is sooooo well made. It caught me by surprise the first time I heard it, too. It’s too progressive. The way they play with the chords is amazing. Great job, by the way!

Hola, soy de México y desde que la escuche por primera vez me encanto, ese cambio de melodias. La letra no es romántica pero es una de mis favoritas.

I love this song one of my favorites

My favorite part ever ❤

Oh I'm 6 days late 😅 sorry Wally. But I am really happy that you're finally able to react to one of my favorite Keane song. ❤️❤️❤️ Hopefully, "Love is the End" is up next or "Chase The Night Away". ❤️☺️

Please Wally react to walnut tree by keane. It's a deeply song... Another masterpiece!!! ♥️🎵🎶

Try again is a lovely song, We Might As Well be Strangers, Disconnected to throw some suggestions out there for you from what you’ve not done yet.

Loving your reviews Wally 🤩🤩

Thank you so much for react to Keane. I would love for you to react "Broken toy" its from their second album.

Finally I saw all your Keane songs reaction hehe... I'm waiting for the next song. Greetings from Perú. Please react to 'In Your Own Time'

The part at 6:52 always gives me Atom Heart Mother vibes. I love this song

I love keane too. Please do a reaction for put the radio on, something in me was dying and thin air. For me the best songs they have! Greetings from Brazil!

I really LOVE this Song

This is actually an early Keane song that was written in the late 90s when Dominic Scott was still a member. They actually brought him back uncredited to redo guitar for this release that was their Best Of compilation to mark 10 years since their first single release.

Hey Wally, thanks for another Keane reaction! I still hope you'll find time to react to Tom Chaplin's solo stuff, e.g. Worthless Words, See it so clear... and many others 😉

I love this song, thanks for reacting

As a huge Keane fan. I would Recommend The Killers catalog to check out aswell.

Keane - Put The Radio On should be next, very emotional song. This song is great too, kinda surprised you don't like it as much.

Since you love Tom's voice as much as I do, please react on a recent (2019/2020) live version of You Are Young. It will blow you out of your chair.😉💗

I can totally follow your take on the lyrics. For me this song is all about the music. The lyrics are is secondary. This song have many moods in the music. And the last 2-3 minutes is epic. It’s kinda off a Radiohead song here. Guitar riff from past member Dominic Scott. But agree that the lyrics don’t touch you. This is for fans off good music😊 let it slide, and you are young coming up 😎

I love them so much.

Good Reaction, that song is my favorite.

Could you react Keane " on a day like today"

Chase the night away next

Where are the lyrics Wally ?
