Nothing in My Way

"Nothing in My Way" is a song performed and composed by English alternative rock band Keane for their second studio album Under the Iron Sea (2006).

Rice-Oxley gave this meaning on 16 May 2006: "Nothing in My Way" came out of listening to a lot of the poppier end of hiphop on the radio, just kinda driving around and I think particularly the groove of "Lose Yourself" by Eminem got stuck in my head (...) and I guess I liked the idea of trying to do something similar.

I hate the idea of people being so much in denial that they're prepared to almost let their lives fall apart rather than acknowledge what's going on.While the first demos and performances of the song were played in the key of C, the final studio version was recorded with a C sharp tuned 20 cts.

The music video for "Nothing in My Way" is a live performance shot at ULU directed by Dick Carruthers and produced by Kit Hawkins for White House Pictures.

It is noticeable that the original video does not feature any close up shots of Chaplin, but several of Tim Rice-Oxley and Richard Hughes, though it is unknown whether this is deliberate.
