Keane performs "Sovereign Light Cafe"

Tim Rice-Oxley, songwriter and ivory-tickler for British piano-rockers Keane, always wanted to write a song about a little café near the band’s old stomping grounds in Battle, East Sussex. The Sovereign Light Café really exists in Bexhill-on-Sea, and so do all of the street names in the song.
Keane performs “Sovereign Light Café,” the third single from their 2012 album “Strangeland,” to a small crowd of rapt River listeners at the Boston House of Blues. Their goosebump-worthy performance is intercut with scenes from an arcade and boardwalk in a beach town in this unofficial music video.
“Sovereign Light Café” hearkens back to the hopeful days of adolescence: “a time,” says Rice-Oxley, “when we were talking about all the great stuff we were going to do with our lives.” It’s not just nostalgic for a time or a place or a group of friends who, perhaps, have fallen out of touch. The song remembers a frame of mind we all inhabited in those romanticized teen years, a time when we wanted the world and believed we could have it. Well, why not? That world is still there, if we could only have the heart to reach out and grab it.

Music and people -both are best when they aren’t confined by labels. And a radio station that connects the two should be independent, intelligent, and diverse, like the minds of its listeners. At 92.5 the River, we celebrate that diversity every day, playing music that weaves a rock-and-roll tapestry across time and genres. Our playlist includes elements of alternative, acoustic, blues, folk, reggae, and other forms of music. You’ll hear a blend of current releases from today’s artists, your favorites from the 80s and 90s, and a few deep album cuts from the 60s and 70s. You’ll also hear artists and songs that have never been played on the radio before, because we believe that discovering new music is one of life’s simple joys, and we love to share that joy with our listeners.
If your relationship with music runs deep, and you enjoy a playlist that’s just as deep, tune in to 92.5 the River -Boston’s Independent Radio!
