Rubbernecking

Hey there! Finished another... only 62 to go... ;)
Rubbernecking:
Summary/Review: Rubbernecking is yet another early Keane song written by Tom Chaplin. This is very different from the usual Keane, with the mood changing masterfully from uneasy to tender. Tom's voice can easily cover the different pitches this song presents and captures the aforementioned mood perfectly. I am unsure as to what the song means, while the tone is obvious from the first thirty seconds of the song. The song is around six minutes long, but the time passes quickly as you quickly are encaptured with the lyrics and ever changing melody. This is another song I would recommend to any Keane fan, for it is truly unique and represents what Tom is capable of (in the song writing area of music). His style does vary from Tim's but mirrors it in lyrical depth and in being an entrancing musical experience, which is shown through this amazing song!
Lyric Sample: "I come to
There will be no more drowning
Help, colorless and cowering
You should understand me
When you're understanding…"

Also, if this can be of any help in understanding the songs lyrics, here is the definition of rubbernecking (a term I haven't heard of before!) ;):
