Notes

Studio recording, 2003-2004. Keane's guitarist Dominic Scott left before the album, but the riff was recorded with a Yamaha Pacifica 112 through a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the riff section. All sources confirm Keane's early sound was piano-driven, with minimal guitar, and the main riff is clean and subtle.

Difficulty

The riff is straightforward, requiring clean picking and timing but no advanced techniques or fast playing. The main challenge is blending smoothly with the piano and maintaining a gentle, supportive dynamic.
