‘Spiralling’ is a song performed and composed by English band Keane released as the first single of their third album, “Perfect Symmetry”.
The song was said to be inspired by wrestling legend Ric Flair who Tom Chaplin described as a personal hero for his try hard mentality in the ring. His trademark “woo” inspired the song. Frontman Tom Chaplin described the song as “a train of thought about human endeavour, built on an outrageous groove”.
The song went on to become the most broadcast song of the world during its first week of release, as well as the fastest-downloading song ever for Universal, reaching 500,000 downloads in less than a week. Keane performed the song live to an audience for the first time at the 2008 GQ Awards on September 2, 2008. The song won Best Track at the Q Awards on 6 October 2008, with all three members of the band present at the ceremony to accept the award.

And yeah and we like working on songs and stuff and the lyrics are definately making more sense now, well probably.. but actually we just found out that we just really well, pretend they have some sort of meaning, but they're quite random really and vague and can be interpreted in many ways. So yeah, whilst the song keeps playing let me tell you more about, you know, nothing really and I know you can't skip past this but once, when I was eleven, I had a pet frog and a fish ate it and spat it out and it was just a bit of mush with a leg. So the band love playing music and we believe the next album will be leading us even further away from our original sound. Enjoy the 3 seconds of remaining song.

the fact that an interview interrupts this one out of NOWHERE is made that much worse by the fact that it is such a magnificent track. a shame.
