  • Found this band 1 second ago and jizzed my pants with utter delight

  • And The Glass Handed Kites is all I listened to for a month after my dad first gave it to me

  • kakabitin! e2 pala yung cnsabi qo ser

    eargasmic!

  • Care-line, Care-lines thumbed it up!

  • This video are way to short :(

  • I wish this song was longer.

  • Realz?......brought me hur

  • look up "while the city sleeps - back when we knew", similar big colourful soundscapes!

  • lol, saying Showbiz was Muse's peak is nonsense because at that time they're still a Radiohead wannabe, with Bellamy's voice trying to be similar with Thom Yorke's.

    and quit talking about other bands, this is a Mew video.

  • I like that I've met the leadsinger RL xD

  • Jonas is so Indie!

  • it makes me sad when people forget about the music and fight over some dumb shit. just enjoy it goddamnit

  • mew the pokemon with a pokemon music band :) PIKA PIII

  • Mew is right up there with Muse. These guys know whats good.

  • @Roploop Muse are terrible now. Sold the fuck out.

  • @FlyingFuckstorm

    No, only thier first album was not good because they were under contract, but just because a few of their songs are over played on the radio does not mean that they sold out all they did was write music that was still good, If you know anything of music theory you'd understand and not be so close minded and say that they sold out.

  • @Roploop Their first album was great. I'm not being 'closed minded', The Resistance was a generic "fight the system" Queen-but-with-space-lyrics piece of shit. It had absolutely no character, the lyrics were bland, all the songs were repetitive as all hell and that retarded Exogenesis Symphony just sounded like a boring classical song. Not to say classical is boring.

    Twilight is responsible for this shit, the fame got to their heads. All they do is write crappy pretentious love songs now.

  • @FlyingFuckstorm

    Ill break this up into short sentences so that you may understand.

    You have no idea what music is. Calling Classical music "boring" means that you are close minded. there is no point to continue this argument that you would never win. go study music then we could talk kid.

  • @Roploop Did you ignore everything I just said? I didn't call classical music boring, I said Exogenesis was a boring classical song spliced with an equally boring space opera. Calling me 'kid' and saying I don't know anything about music doesn't make you seem more intelligent, it makes you seem like a colossal douche. You think Muse's first album was the only bad one?

    Showbiz and OoS were the high points of Muse's creativity. Absolution and Black Holes were fine, but that's all they were

  • Comment removed

  • i wish somebody would upload this and the next 2 or 3 songs on the album together since they are all basically the same song

  • A girl told me to listen to this. Glad i did.

  • mew fans should look up "while the city sleeps, title track" similar big soundscapes!

  • I just stumbled onto this randomly, and I feel like I just stumbled upon the greatest discovery ever. I have a feeling I'm going to listen to a lot of Mew today because of this...

  • Dude, that song is more dope than Osama Bin Laden's kill/death ratio

  • @madsgetra More dope than Stalin's K/d ratio. The highest ever.

  • @Lilmichaelson But Hitlers k/d is the higher!

  • @madsgetra No, Hitler's is lower than Stalin's to best of my knowledge.

  • @ScarlettM457 nop

  • @madsgetra Yeah, way more people died during Stalin's regime that Hitler's.

  • @ScarlettM457 U sincerely take these comments too seriously.

  • @madsgetra How is replying to a comment=to taking comments too seriously? 

  • @ScarlettM457 Let it be already?

  • Care-line, Care-lines "thumbed it up"

  • I've listened to Mew almost everyday for 3 years. Yeah.

  • I'm sad that this song is not on "The best of" tracklist.

  • The chorus is perfect. Fucking perfect.

  • @piills Fuck yeah, anthemic

  • the best lp from the last 20 years

  • Can't argue with that pun.

    

  • Wow I discovered this band like yesterday, but I'm already in love with there music :O

    There are the hope of danish music!

    Right know I'm actually proud of being danish, for the first time in my life!

    They are undiscriable!

    This is like music really should sound!

    Gives me butterflies in my stomach, and out of this world experiences!

  • I'm out of words!

    THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME!

  • I like it, but it ends a bit abruptly.

  • Comment removed

  • @javatar77 well is not the whole song, actually it starts with another song in the album called fox cub and then comes apocalypso!!! great song!

  • @javatar77 You have to listen to the whole album. The song ends abruptly because it goes right into the next song on the cd. It's awesome and should be listened completely in one sitting. You won't be dissapointed

  • Im proud theyre danish :)

  • His voice is like mix of fergie and jesus!

  • Why is this son so damn short and why does 22 people been deaf? :O

  • Mew is rly good live:)

  • @soerenhegelund Want. I want your musical expirience.

  • Brilliant this Lynchean winds on this Bjerre's little picture with such a masterpeace of track. You are a great man for creating this, and your music my friend Jonas.

  • @strangerwithcandy25 nor in mine :(

  • love this song!!!

  • cool shit at 1:10.

    "black waves come, and so fear me december"

  • It's weird but cool.Looks like a dream.

  • Man when i was a bike messenger in nyc last year ...anytime i would get a super rush delivery id put this song on in my headphones and fukn take off so hard down fifth avenue....that was seriously some of the most amazing moments i have ever experienced and this song was the perfect backdrop....when it rained this song always helped me through that and the winter....all in all this is great music to bike too...1

  • One of the best band :)

    I love mew!

  • found this band today, listened to three of their songs, and immediately bought all their albums

  • @trkirby I haven't had time to buy their albums yet - but will as soon as I can. I'm in the same situation as you: found them today, and they're now my favourite band. For somebody that listens to a LOT of music, that's saying a lot.

  • found this band about 34 seconds ago.

    fucking righteous

  • @englandsoccer1616 oh boy are you in for a treat! im excited for you haha

  • I'm very glad that my cousin let me hear their music a few years ago... I found my Frengers album last year, re-found them & fell in love.

  • I can't stop listen to it :D love mew

  • mi banda favorita, saludos desde Santa cruz de la sierra Bolivia ;)

  • holy crap these guys are amazing musicians, super weird, but genius.

  • amazing video i love this song

  • Awesome! This song is so haunting and beautiful! I love the short animated part too.

  • i didnt think this song had a music video, glad it does my favorite mew video

  • everything is there, the sound, the songstructures and the instrumentalisation! Mew could get boring fast with jonas voice, but somehow they rarely does for me, not as long they write music on this level!

  • This is one of the best bands EVER. I can´t see why this isnt popular

  • its supposed to stay that way.. we as MEW fans should consider them a "HIDDEN TREASURE".. i don't like them to sell out..

  • @avg323

    agreed. However, if they didn't sell out, and they got popular for their music by the known public, I wouldn't be mad, unless they sold out then.

  • Fuck BIRDS!!!!

  • to be honest Jonas is an eagle. and sing Silas the magic car, because on day fall from the nest with a big smile exalt .

    ok any sense lol

  • I've always known that Silas was a bird!

    Great video.. It's actually quite scary I think.. Jonas is a genius.. I love Mew, WOOHOO!

  • A bit scary in the end....! Anyway a good song ill give it 4 stars...... :)

  • It kinda scared me in a beautiful way.

  • yaay

  • jus luv that baseline.. amazing

  • just. COOL!!

    mew <3

  • lol

  • hahah lol :)

  • I lol'd when he turned into a bird. Great song and funny video :D

  • oh! the day that mtv pass this video will be a precious revolutionnary day for popular music... an event for the masses... it's just too weird...for the mass public... this vulture head with the body of a driver will freak the boss of every (pop) musical channel...those guys have big balls... the usual musical boundouries cant stop them

  • Another good one!

  • erm.... exactly ...er...um... why the @#$% is he a bird? LOL makes me laugh... that dead bird looks like a pile of cotting with red marker ^^

  • Didnt you saw he replaced the little dead bird - then the litlle dead bird must have replaced him... You can find your own symbolic in this... if you have any :]

  • For some reason this video makes me laugh.

    A lot.

  • Now that you mentioned that,

    I can't stop laughing.

  • this song is cool, i just thing is too good to be so short.

  • is so gay but... nice :>

  • This is an awesome song. :)

  • Fantastisk sang!

  • Wow. They actually make me proud of being danish :D

  • me too :)

  • A member of the Swirlies actually is playing on this song.

  • WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD

  • not in Denmark :P

  • wait. let me see. the video seems to change which way the car is driving all the time. nevermind then d:

  • probably english then seriously??!!

  • They're cool. :]

  • This is one of the many reasons why I admire Jonas Bjerre so much.

  • Go listen to; In Her Many (Harmony) New Found Freedom and San Cristobal de las Casas by The Swirlies here on you tube. Its like they stole the guitar tones and arrangements of both songs to form this one. A lot of mews songs seem to have undertones very similar to The Swirlies. I wouldn't be surprised at all if i found out that one more members of Mew were heavily influenced by The Swirlies.

  • I don't think its similar enough for you to accuse Mew of stealing anything.... but the influence is there I suppose.

  • Silas and the magic car...no, magic bird! xD

  • I lol'd when I first saw this, I LOVE MEW....and I love Silas...Silasu!! <3

  • wow, first time ive heard this, and ive gotta say,

    MIND FUCK

    its, just, holy crap, genious, how come i havent heard of this before!?!?!!?!?! ive been missing out on this, how is this not popular? better than any mainstream song anyday D:<

  • @orientalbean

    haha i heard it on xm and i downloaded right away. i just gatta say, I shoul be listening to some more songs from these guys, cause this is really the only one I've heard

  • @orientalbean I felt the exact same way when i stumbled upon Mew in a store (they were playing Special on a big screen). maybe it's a good thing the mainstream public have goldfish memory and shitty taste in music. Mew is definitely for fine music connoisseurs. ;)

  • @orientalbean just to let u know, mew is a very popular band =) Maybe not in your country

  • @orientalbean glad someone else had the same reaction to this the first time.

  • one of the best bands in these times...truly great

  • @deeroks1 The best!

  • Silas!! <3

    ...has the best facial expressions EVER :D

    That was awesome and good.

  • One of the best videos I have ever seen.

    And the song is wonderful, obviously.

    Thank God Mew exists.

  • It's the minor to major transitions that get ya...

  • I love SILAS'S HAIR

  • I LOVE SILAS <3

  • yeah indeed..

  • this song make my skin like chicken...

    so good...

  • hahahaa what the heck

  • yeah i dont know why.. but give me goosebumps...

  • oh i get it , yes very good~!

  • coll

  • I love this song

  • chorus is sublime

  • unusual video

    =]

  • I have been looking for them for a long time. I heard them once at MTV and the song stuck in my brain ever since. The Vocals angelic sounds with heavy rock. The Combination was .......dam Hmmmm???

  • Hm.. reminds me Mullholland Drive somehow... quite Lynchian anyway :D

  • i love this song i love mew

  • i love this song. :)

  • Love these guys! Just checked out their new ep on itunes. Can't wait for the album!

  • iv heard the whole album... beach is by far the best song!!

  • NICE! U GUYS ROCK!

  • Black waves come....

  • the song is about jonas bjerre's, the lead singer's, fear of death

  • wow

    i was always wondering what are the lyrics about........ :D

  • There is something inexplicably awesome about this video.

  • Agh...

    I really love their songs, and Jonas' voice is amazing...but he makes some really disturbing videos...

    This isn't as bothersome as others though...

  • I remember getting one of their songs as the free single of the week on iTunes quite a while ago. Immediately after listening I downloaded Frengers and And the Glass Handed Kites, and you know what, I hated it. However, I've come a long way now in knowing what GOOD music actually is (in my point of view) and quite frankly, these are some of the greatest artists I have ever heard. This track, along with the album is simply amazing. I'm so glad I bought their albums a while ago. Mew is amazing <3

  • Yeah dude, I know what you mean. Music can be hard to swallow at times. My first listening to Mew was in a Tower Record's (RIP), and the voice immediately caught my attention. Luckily, I had a friend that worked there and he was able to tell me what was playing. That day I bought Frengers and Glass Handed Kites. This was about 4 years ago and I said I'd see them live the next time they'd come to Los Angeles, unfortunately the time has come and damn tickets sold out... Still very sad about that.

  • so bery cool, it's real music

    nice song

  • wow, these guys are good, someone just gave me the link to check them out

  • Great song. Does something with you, as if you know the song for years but you don't.

  • Hi, i'm a big fan of mew, it would be awesome to get some constructive critique by mew fans! Search up "Tides Have Told"... Hope you don't mind me posting this here...Cheers!
