Eclectic Analysis

The next several posts will be consist of the various steps of an eclectic analysis of the song "She Has No Time" by Keane.

I originally encountered the song as a cover of the song by a college acapella group, the UNC Clef Hangers, and fell in love with it. This drove me to seek out the original recording.

In preparing for the analysis, I also decided to quickly arrange and record a cover of the song. It is entirely vocal, like the Clef Hangers version, but is based more strongly on the original version. However, it is not even close to finished, so that will not be available until later on.

Although none of the following were included in my analysis, I found the following videos interesting:

A video taken from Keane's DVD "Strangers" set to a live recording of the piece.

A recording of the original version of the song (with guitars and everything) complemented nicely with pictures of the band.

A really neat video of Keane performing the song live.

There are also a large amount of covers available on YouTube.
