"Try Again" is a song performed and composed by English piano rock and alternative rock band Keane that appears as the tenth track on their second album, Under the Iron Sea. The song will be released as the sixth and possibly last single off the album, and will be only sold in Germany.[1]
[edit] Composition and recording
It was composed by Tim Rice-Oxley in early 2005, and first played live two weeks after composed by Rice-Oxley. The song was first played with the electric piano and a tambourine as very much a work-in-progress, and as a result was shorter than the recorded version. The album version includes drums and an extended outro, with the distortion piano Tim began to use on "Put It Behind You".
Rufus Wainwright was asked by Keane to sing this song along with Chaplin at the Wireless Music Festival on June 29, 2005. Chaplin apparently wanted Wainwright to also play the piano but he refused.
- Tempo: 72bpm
- Key: EbMaj7
- Time signature: 4/4 8-beat
It was recorded and at the Heliosentric Studios, Rye, East Sussex and at The Magic Shop, New York in late 2005.
[edit] Information about song's meaning
Rice-Oxley explains his thoughts about "Try Again" on the fifth Keane podcast:
| I always think about it as being a commuter's love song. There's something weird about that feeling of being on a train really really late at night when there's just a handful of you there, and I always wonder what everyone's story is - especially people who've been to work and probably got up at some horrendous hour of the morning, and they're traipsing back to their home somewhere in the suburbs. |
