Somewhere Only We Know (opb. Keane)

Arranged: 2019
Performed by: Take Me Home A Cappella
Parts: SAMTBB w/ Solo
Duration: ~3:50
Keane is an English alternative rock group that became popular in the late 90's/early 2000's with their transparent, honest, and sensational lyrical content as well as their use of a piano or keyboard as the lead instrument rather than an electric guitar. "Somewhere Only We Know" is a vivid example of such a song, describing a time where the person wishes they could go on a escapade with the love of their life to a place that they can only be that is void of memories or things that can get in their way. To "acappellize" this instrument, it uses lots of dynamic juxtaposition to really bring out the big, emphatic moments of this song that are really emotional to the listener and quiet moments to really get to hear what the soloist is singing. This creates an unbelievable rendition of this song and makes it awesome to listen to.
