We’ve all been there at times… losing faith in life, questioning who to turn to for solace and meaning – and this time it’s lead singer and guitarist Dave Lightfoot of South London garage rockers The Fades. Having heard a rumour that Keanu Reeves was filming around the corner from their rehearsal studios just after experiencing a midlife breakup, Dave’s imagination was set alight thinking: imagine bumping into Keanu on the street, hanging out and going back to the studio with him for a jam together – then an amazing lifelong relationship can begin, but before that there’s a song to write and here it is…

Looking for Keanu is a 90’s inspired slice of slacker indie rock that features The Fades at their most reflective and self-effacing.

The naked honesty in the verse lyric is plain to see but even in the darkest moments there’s always hope to guide us through to better times and then comes the chorus: it’s powerful, catchy and you can’t help but be lifted up by its energy. There’s the video too, jam packed with ‘Easter eggs’ from Keanu’s various films, all shot around the area where Keanu was filming in South London when Dave came up with the song.

With DJs like Steve Lamacq, John Kennedy & Marc Riley supporting various releases & glowing write ups in Louder Than War, Fresh on The Net & alike throughout their career, The Fades are a band who’ve consistently turned adversity to their advantage, finding the best in life while not taking themselves too seriously.

Very Heaven

Gets Me Down

Our Time

Darkness
Silence
They both seem to fit

Why do I think
That no one
Will ever care

Why do I think
That no one
Will ever listen

Find your power
Find your power

They will see
When I've begun
To believe

Believe in me
Believe in
What I am supposed to be

No one will
Be able to stop me
No one will have my strength

No one will know my love
No one will withstand
The day

Of

My reign
My triumph
My victory
My success

Find your power
Find your power

No one will
Be able to stop me
No one will have my strength

No one will know my love
No one will withstand
The day

Of

No one will
Be able to stop me
No one will have my strength

No one will know my love
No one will withstand
The day
