"Somewhere Only We Know" By Keane is a perfect example of a wondrously elegant rock song, something you don't see that often. The lyrics are catchy yet complex, the piano gives it a lighthearted feeling while the slight vibrato in his voice makes you think this song is not so happy.
"Secrets" by Onerepublic has also been stuck in my head recently. I put it under the giant roof of rock, only because it's not punk enough to be alternative. The violin in this really makes the difference. It's the instruments that you don't expect to be there to make it all the more interesting.
I don't know if this is too weird a tangent, but I'm sure someone will understand: sometimes you gotta let down your hair and listen to soft rock.
i love "Somewhere Only We Know"!!!!!
