i can't believe i hadn't seen this version yet/before!! i'd seen .. maybe something else which didn't show the band members.. love the way they're made up
There is a good cover of this by a young Mew fan, who especially likes the lead singer! Go to 'She Came Home for Christmas' by Groove Academy's Wanderlust on youtube.
Este video como me recuerda a la Marquesa de noche, un bosuqe grande, algo de nieve y ese sentimiento de tristeza por que una chika linda y hermosa no te acepto, pero bueno quedas en supuesto amigo y resulta que hasta como amigo te abre de verdad que no entiendo a las mujeres a veces?????
tan facil seria que me dijera que ya no quiere hablarme, pero no!!!! cuando la veo me habla y segu si quiere hablar conmigo por msn y en el msn no lo hace!!!!
ps- I also love the fact that songs can be interpretated in different ways. That each person finds something in a song that is special to them.. I think that's just as important as the original meaning..!
Most songs that can be considered masterpieces have two themes, not just one. Or they express their theme by speaking something else. It's a little like multi tasking in my opinion. But that's not emo that's just art. The problem with the word emo is that it's meaning is different for each person. mainly because emo doesn't really exist. It's just one of those crappy words that people use to tear another person down.
I totally agree - when people use the frase 'emo' they don't really know what they're saying. It's become a way of seeking out the deppressive as a way of sorting people into groups. The fact is - all people have feelings, and it's not synonymous with emo. When that's said. Mew makes really emotional music - nothing emo about it - and I think this is one of their most beautiful songs. If not THE most beautiful. I love the fact that music can make people feel something, - like Mew. :)
Most emo music (today) deals with vague subjects that may or may not be emotional and that you may or may not relate to. This song isn't superficial, like some commercialized emo songs are, and it is not vague. It's about rape. Hence why the video is sad. It's not emo. What do people expect? :\
How can anyone describe Mew as emo??? They havent heard any of their other stuff if thats the case. Mew are a ridiculously talented Indi band who are miles better than the stuff floating round atm..and deserve more recognition....Bono Loves them !!!!!!
i couldn't care less if their music is emo o not.. it's beautiful and everyone should just listen. but i must say that the fact that Jonas gets his tekst and music ideas from his nightmares realy makes them sound a it emo.. bu i agree with GreyShampoo, we should just close our eyes and listen.
el Q diga Q mew es "Emo" es un imbecil por que ellos son musica alternativa danesa nada que ver con mcr o fob bandas de ese tipo ni con kudai Q paso donde esta la sensates!!!!!
@010580010580 as you can see i (was?) a big fan of placebo and muse (i also liked radiohead) but mew is way better than all of them. I still love the old placebo, and some muse songs because of nostalgia mostly. But nowadays they suck a bit, while mew gets better
Haaha, it's funny that people think that, and kind of ironic to me! My best friend first showed me Mew two years ago because I used to be emo and she thought this was their "emo-est" music video, so she thought I'd relate to it. It's a good thing she did, because now I'm a die-hard Frenger! Go Mew!!! They're not emo in the slightest bit; on the contrary, it's stupid to judge a band by one video, especially one as spectacular as Mew!! :D :D
Hmm. I'm not sure it's emo such as theatrical. The whole video is very dramatic and exaggerated for a theatrical feel, and maybe they're just dressed to that effect.
What I do find hilarious is the sexy contest that Johan and Bo seem to be having throughout the video where they alternately pout at the camera. I think Bo wins. Ha!
lol definetly. bo is lookin good in this one XD and the costume does fit! its a sad song and thats the feel of the video but sad doesnt necesarily=emo. lol i do love the eyeliner thing they have goin on. its very dramatic and i think its hot :]
Im not saying that Mew sucks, I said that they look like a bunch of emos in the video wich is true. I think And The Glass Handed Kites is one of the greatest album ever made... but they dont look like the well-dressing Mew that I always see...
It's like that little rabbit in 'Bambi' who says : "- If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all!" ;) (sorry msbdenuriemafs for borrowing your thoughts :D)
Jonas looks the most amazing in this video...with the cap and the a little bit of eyeliner...how can a good lookin guy like him had the most sweetest voice...
im impressed....i haven't heard one bad song from these guys. and their videos are beyond original. they are simple but portrayed as something amazing. very nice.
Actually,the lyrics from the album A Triumph For Man (not from Frengers)say "Don't touch her there when he fucked her".That's why those who know it,say it's about sexual abuse.
Why are you arguing whether this song is about rape or not? it means different things to different people, and therefore mew were a success, but unless you can ask the band yourself what they were thinking when they wrote the song, i don't see how you can claim anything
Apikko17, I understand it you have the ultimate knowledge of what the song really is about? Don't be a smartass. Songs mean different things to different people. To me it's always been about sexual abuse; the bear is her comforting teddybear, and that innocence is killed by the witch - the abuse - and she's forced to grow up too fast. She comes home for Christmas to confront her childhood traumas. This is my interpretation. I am not a man, and I am a victim of sexual abuse. See? Cheers.
first time i heard this was in 2003dec... loved this song EVER SINCE... listen to it atleast twice a day.....fucking itunes doesnt have this song.....
there's no new guitarist in this video.. basist, Johan left the band, not guitarist, Bo. All the original mew boys are in this video and it is AMAZING. My favorite Mew song! <3
huh never mind.. you're so good to be honest, though. but others of us love it no matter what people say. But speaking of the original video, can you give me a link to it so I'd know because I haven't seen it here yet.
Erm, actually that's all four of the originals. Johan, the bassist, left the band to be with his sweetheart Pernille when she had their baby. Bo, the guitarist, never left. They haven't replaced Johan either, though they do have a 'stand in' who tours with them etc.

Ah. You're right.
The guitarist cut his hair recently and looks like a completely different person. (like he did here)
but there is a video for SCHFC without the band footage.
Which I recommend because the style they're wearing is obviously costume to fans. but could mislead people who don't know that.
Jonas' shades were a bad choice.
I think Special is my fav video of them so far.
