Hive Open Mic #160 - Somewhere Only We Know (Keane)
Fraternidad
This week's theme Fraternidad was chosen by @guitarmcy and I thought I'd give Keane's "Somewhere Only We Know" a shot, a beautiful song that speaks to many people, which is why it fits the theme perfectly in my opinion.
The song has been on my "to learn"-shelf for some time as it's been one of those songs that just never wanted to stick in my head, and I don't like using sheets. These weekly Open Mics are always a great opportunity to finally learn those as well as new ones.
I will most definitely need to practice this one more as it turned out a little too fast here, so apologies for that.
Keane - Somewhere Only We Know
The lyrics of this song, which was released in 2004, are just so magical!
I love the notion of a secret place that only your close friend or friends know about and when I listen to the song I always see myself in some mystical wood walking over soft moss, and only this morning did I in fact sit by the river in St Neots with my dog Mia and I felt complete.. haha
There she is being curiously observed by a swan.. and by me...
That position is a typical "I'm gonna roll in that" position.. lol
The Video
I have done a double-take on this one again, using my little Lumix camera for the bigger picture and a phone for the close up recording both at the same time.
I must say, that I enjoy putting these together now that I "know" what I'm doing..
As always: Thanks for watching!
Thanks for looking!

Oh simple thing, where have you gone? I'm gettin' old and I need something to rely on....
I love this song and I love your cover! You nailed it and it is indeed a superb choice for this week. I learned playing it in guitar (and still on it) right after hearing it On Episode 7 of the Netflix series 'Beef'.

Oh, that's cool!!! You should do it here one day!!
Thank you, Chichi!!! It still needs some adjusting, speed and volume, and I'm still unsure what happens when.. 🤣
But I get there, I'm sure.. lol

We can't describe how happy we are to hear you sing and play the guitar, you usually give us very interesting songs. We have been practicing this song on the guitar and ukulele but we don't feel we should publish it yet, it doesn't come out as well as you do.
Like you, we see the Hive Open Mic as an opportunity to learn new things and boy have we done it, we've shared songs we never thought we'd sing, we love it!
Thanks for participating dear friend!
Oh, wow, you're learning it too? Are you going to play it together?
That would give you my ultimate "cool" 😂.
It's such a wonderful song, and I'm sure you'll sing it wonderfully, Dina!!
Looking forward to it when it happens! 😍
Super happy to hear this song. And to think that more than a couple of decades have passed since it was released. I congratulate you friend, not only do you bring a magical and fantastic repertoire, but you also sing it in a sweet and tuned way.
OMG, is it really THAT long? Oh dear! 😄
Thank you so much! 🙏
It needs a bit of polish on the edges, but it's coming along.
Beautiful song and guitar cover you have here 😍😍.. well-done
Thank you very much, really happy that you like it! 😃
Hermosa presentación mi bella 😘
Well, thank you so much, my friend!! 🙏
Hope, you're well? I haven't seen you posting for some time!
Have a lovely day! 😃
I haven't heard this song in a long time. This is a song that I like when I'm alone. Your version is very good with acoustics. i love it mam.
I just got a reminder that it is almost 20 years old.. OMG! Scary.. haha

My relationship with this song is golden. The first time I heard the song was in a movie and the song makes me so cry by how beautiful and sad the lyrics are.
You sound so well with your presentation. I love it sooo much. Congratulations
Wow, yes, it sure is a very touching song!
It can be a challenge to sing it without sobbing along the way.. 😂
Very glad you like it!!
Nice one. It's originally a piano song, but you moved it to guitar nicely. Any strange chords in there?
