Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Everybody's Changing. By Songfacts®.

This song is about someone struggling to adapt to changes around them, particularly their friends who are growing up, moving away, and losing interest in things they once shared with the singer.

Keane was a struggling band without a record deal when Simon Williams from the Indie label Fierce Panda Records spotted them at a gig and signed them. This was released as their first single, and it drew lots of attention from major labels. Island Records won the bidding war and signed the band.

After the Conservatives used this at their 2010 election manifesto launch where leader David Cameron gave a speech, Keane protested that the party never asked their permission to use the song. Band member Richard Hughes wrote on Twitter, "Am horrified. To be clear – we were not asked. I will not vote for them." A Conservative spokesman responded: "It's a great song and David's a great fan."
The Keane boys can object all they like, but there is nothing artists can do about UK political parties playing their records at these events, as such public performance of recorded music is covered by a blanket license.
