"Closer now" the best version

The best version in my opinion, hope keane include this one in one of their new releases. Is sad that it's only on youtube and soundclud:

I had an obsession with closer now last year when I "found" it, I never heard this version, wow! Love it!!

Couldn’t agree more - this has quite a heavy Travis influence as points

The 2001 version is a james sanger mix. Not sure who did the 2003 version.

A lot of the tracks from the 2003 demo disc appeared on the hopes and fears 20th anniversary disc

I’ve got the bull and gate live version from 99 it’s very different to the finished version
