  • Audrey wait

  • This sing made me cry . . . but of course, that makes it awesome

  • I love the elephant

  • I feel so lucky. I live in Denmark like the guys from Mew :)

  • @LoveGaaraVeryMuch blockmongo

  • at 2:20 his guitar switched from being in the right handed position to the left handed position.

  • At 2:36 and 2:50, you can see the graffiti '156'. That's the crew's signature.

    1 = j for Jonas/Johan

    5 = s for Silas

    6 = b for Bo

  • Y U NO pokemon #151 -:P

  • Comment removed

  • Haha, I love this song a lot. I've been listening to it all day. I love the music video as well. <3

  • sounds like from my butt i can see your house in the begining but luv dis song

  • Don't you just love good pies

  • stalker...

    

  • no mew is 151 you nooblords

  • this is about the only indie band i like...but i love this song

  • I love Mew and all, but every time I listen to this song all I hear is "from my butt."

  • Mew pokemon number: 156. When I told my bro that (big fan of this band and reason I started listening to them) he was like "Woah, thats crazy!" He's also in love with pokemon lol.

  • @DaVinci5006

    Mew is 151 you fucking moron

  • @SkunkBerry33 Really? Sorry for forgetting. Didn't know it was a crime to forget. I guess the cyber police will be coming after me now.

  • @DaVinci5006 when did he/she say that the cyber police was coming

  • @yodarocksya When did I say that they said that the cyber police are coming? They never did say that, and I never said they said that. But the cyber police have probably already found out, so I might as well pack my stuff and run off.

  • @DaVinci5006 "the cyber police will be coming after me now." that's when

  • @yodarocksya You're not listening dumbass. You said when did THEY say that, but I said they DIDN'T say that. And I brought that up myself as a JOKE. Geezus, some people are so ignorant.

  • @yodarocksya lol dumbass, everyone reading your comment is laughing at you.

  • @skudzer1985 I don't care about your and others opinions :P

  • I've made all of my friends listen to Mew at least once and none of them like their music. I'm having a hard time accepting the fact that the US just does not appreciate elf rock; shame.

  • @cyanidecola it's called Indie Q.Q

  • As amazing as these guys are, when they perform live it's amazing <33

  • I found this band by accedent, is that what they do? People find them randomly. It's pretty awesome.

  • if i didnt like kyo i wouldnt have found this band.. think about that..

  • silas looks so silleh :3

  • thanks bob!

  • "from my butt, I can see your house"

  • @SniffaXxX i thought i said that too...he says boat weird though...

  • Comment removed

  • they need to put Mew on the radio here in the States

  • thumbs up if "Audrey, Wait!" brought you here!

  • 45 people don't have the money for him

  • this song is mentioned in a book i read, Audrey, Wait.

  • At 0:44 they both have the same colored hair.

  • this is one of the songs i imagined i could select for my funeral

  • In the beginning it sounds like "From my butt....i can see your house" nah i'm just kidding i love this song

  • @Sporeadam congrats, you almost ruined my listening experience! now I have to figure out how to stop laughing...

  • This is literally the only song ive heard this whole week holy fuck.

  • My sisters name is Callie :3

  • @DylanthegeetaristTV If I ever have a daughter, her name will be Callie. Although, I don't really want a daughter. I'd be one of those over-protective dads haha. Much rather have a son. But here I'm just gnawing your ear off.

  • 1 letter = I

    5 letters = Loved

    6 letters = Callie

    Don't know who loved Callie, the elephant obviously did.

  • loss of innocence.....

  • lovely...Jonas' dance is amazing. he just exudes magic and creativity its crazy

  • I love how it sort of puts a negative view on the band. Not many music videos do that. ^^

    And Jonas is just so darn cute.

  • "From my butt, I can see your house..."

  • @inamoratasamazing

    its "from my boat" genius

  • @borntwelvetwentyfive It was just a little joke...

  • at 2:20 the guitarist is mirrored so he is playing left handed

  • That dance Jonas does during the chorus rocks. The music video is just great.

  • It's so cute but still sad... Love it!♥

  • look forward to learn it on my guitar! :D

  • makes me sad.. but its so cute!

  • 45 people dont like music.

  • Haha love the way Jonas dances in this video it is just kind of random and funny! :D

    Love this band and this song! :)

  • ADOOORBLE!!!

  • Loove this song!♥

  • i dont like i love mew. nuff said.

  • how can you dislike this cute, little song? ^^

  • Truly Great! 

  • best video ever

  • Stupid elephant wasted all that awesome bling! He could've at least donated it to charity...

  • Mew is 151

  • I LOVE THIS STORY

  • It's not really been discovered why it's called 156. There are numerous speculations, some say its the tempo that the song is set to, others say its the police code for a fire or a robbery, or that it stands for "I loved Callie".  It's open to interpretation.

  • 44 people missed the like button

  • Fucking great video!

  • from my BUTT lol

  • Jonas Bjerre is an extremely great songwriter and singer as well ...

    magnificent song...

    

  • Okay, maybe i ask very stupid, but why is this song called 156?

  • baww :'(

  • I am goin to see them in december! so exited :D

  • My favorite band in the world right now!

    Good music still exists! Don't loose your hope!

  • I really love this song! I agree with you MichaelJacksonEverXD, they deserve more! LOOOVE MEW!

  • 1=I; 5=never; 6=forget + elephant...

    

  • i think the vid is a little corny....but i LOVE mew!

  • pokemon=mew

    

  • YOU CANT COMPARE MEW WITH MUSE!

    BOTH ARE GRRRRRRRRRRREAT BANDS :D

  • just awesomee luv it

  • I can't stop watching this video, for some reason the cartoon head part is really appealing to me eyes. Weird but awesome. MEW RULES!

  • thanks to Robin Benway for introducin me to this song :)

  • Thanks to the great Billy Lunn for make me know this amazing song...

  • callie is HOT xD

  • hot video!

  • Its a shame I had to get lucky to find this band.

  • @redfoxskater Agree 100%, shows how ignorant most are.

  • Comment removed

  • @redfoxskater think about how many other great bands are out there that we'll probably never hear. def a shame.

  • @redfoxskater Just be greatful you did cause this band is the single most amazing band ever.

  • @redfoxskater how'd you find em? i found them a while ago thanks to a comment on one of the "the blue van" music vids.

  • I can't decide which one is better, the original version or this. I maybe think this is done better, like the transissions from verse to bridge to chorrus is really great, but maybe I prefer the old one because there's like a more kind of indiesound to it, and it's like more special.

  • I love the way Jonas dances in this video.

  • @Derfonic Me too :D

  • Thumbs up, if you got the Frengers album!

  • Mew made themselves as animations in their first videos cause Jonas bjerre was too shy.

    I'm not sure :)

  • is anyone wondering why its called 156? i would assume I LOVED CALLIE

    like 143 means i love you, because of the numbers of the letters in each word, if you was wondering and now get it, thumbs up :)

  • @steve738 Apparently, from reading up on forums, the numbers "156" are supposed to mean the devil's whore, like the numbers "666" mean the devil

  • the poor elephant...WAIT WHAT???? what is an elephant doing with a bunch of thiefs?

  • Playing guitar in those gloves must be fun...

    By the way, "WTF does this video/song mean" is a common phrase most people post on Mew videos. Get used to it! LOL

    P.S. But seriously, WTF does this video/song mean?

  • right when he says callie i honestly get goosebumps.

  • Hey, did you get the clip off MTV?

  • I remember when I was 8-years old and saw this video on MTV. I was just thinking something like "what the fuck". It's funny how now, many years later I think this is real art. Love mew.

  • I really don't understand the meaning of this song...help...pls---someone??.­..:)

  • @neshtodrugo

    maybe he loved someone called callie, yet his friends used to pick on her? just a guess

  • yes..

    feeling good

  • Jonas' dancing is so sexy. Would've liked to see his face in this...no homo.

  • a guy made me a mix cd a couple years ago and this song was on it.

    he was kind of a prick, but damn, he had great taste in music.

  • I really like this song. Esp. the chorus, but I can't help thinking of that stupid guy on Americas Funniest Home videos. Sorry... someone had to say it.

  • that is too cute! mew is sexy

  • Don't you just love goodbyes?

  • Ron Rege Jr. is AMAZING!!! Everyone should buy his book Skibber Bee Bye!!!

  • "From my butt I can see your house" XD

    no but this looks so sad :(

    Mew is amazing as always <3

  • @krystame omg now thats all i hear :P

  • @krystame OMG! that is funny. I just busted my gut.

  • they need to change this name, when i search for mew the first results are always bout the pokemon.. its hard to someone who wanna know bout them

    or maybe that was their intention lol

  • wow. i already loved Mew... but this is just plain brilliant.

  • cool vid

  • From my butt I can see your house

  • This song feels like it's full of regret. :(

  • 156 is the number of the complete fairy tales and stories of H.C.Andersen!!!

  • @pepperting really! :O Is it connected to the songs meaning or just a cinsidence?

  • @RobotLaser156 mmmmm...both mew & Andersen come from danmark is the only connection i can think of, may be there're *something* hiden in those stories?

  • @pepperting that could be by the æ, ø and å letters. , a 28 letter alphabet

  • @pepperting 1=j, 5=s, 6=b, that makes 1=jonas and johan, 5=silas, 6=bo. :)

  • From my boat I can see your house, but now the lights are off and there's no one home.... Where are you? ):

  • From my boat, guys lol

  • The chorus of this wonderful song is the best that I have heard in quite a while. Pure awesome, really.

  • from my butt, i can see your house. =D

  • from my bed, i can see your house and when the lights are on I can watch you move ♥

  • kind of sounds a little similar to "good vibrations" by the beach boys.

  • Wow.. i realised that i REALY LOVE this song!

    It's so damn good thanks you for setting it on youtube dude! the video is funny :)

  • best chorus I've heard in a long time.

  • love this song.. hmmm nice ending'n start

  • mew's really cool and stuff ..

  • from my BUTT! i can see your house

  • @apeguy66 xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD­DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

  • @apeguy66 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA BEST COMMENT EVER.

  • Check out my new band "while the city sleeps", we have been highly influenced by Mew!

  • nino æder sin egen sperm og er red for a gå ud ,... NOGNEN HJÆLP=?

  • blink 182 ... r cool , but everquoest 1 RUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL­LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLESSS­SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­SSSSSSS

  • the word is GODLIKE..no offense to God..but listening to mew brings me to another dimension or trance state..

  • *they're almost 'GODLIKE' for me..

  • can somebody tell me what '156' means? don't get me wrong..im a BIG MEW FAN.. i just don't get what '156' means and some of their song's lyrics doesnt make any sense to me..but musically their almost "GODLIKE" for me..

  • @avg323 They've said before that they'd rather keep the meaning of 156 a secret, so only the band knows.

  • 1 5 6 are the keys hes singing in.

  • at first i was like WTF but i love this song (L)

  • Cool vid.

  • I have followed and loved Mew for so long now. I am so happy that they have reached out to others out in the world.

    Mew will never be a mainstream band, but quite a few known bands such as REM and so on love Mew. I think Mew will be one of those bands that people interested in music will be inspiried from in the future, or so I hope.

  • Dont be too quick to judge. Mew have a very mainstream friendly sound, fans of bands like MBV, the Smashing Pumkins and REM would really like these guys. I didnt think Porcupine Tree would ever be as popular as they are but look, their getting huge (on an underground level)

  • I can't believe I'm just now hearing of Mew (late 2009) and they've been around since the 90's.....They're one my new favorite bands (and that's saying something because I'm the pickiest person ever when it comes to music).

  • wow. Great story told by this band in a short 4 minutes. Sad though.

    That whole 156 thing I don't understand though; if someone could explain it to me, I'd greatly appreciate it.

    I recently started listening to this band a few months ago after hearing "Snow Brigade" from a friend. Since then I heard songs like "Repeater Beater" and I had to catch up and get their Discography.

    Holy shit they're brilliant....

  • I think it's sad that Mew isn't as big as Muse. Jonas Bjerre has such a epic voice and Mew's music is amazing!

    They deserves more succes in the music industry!

    Mew styrer og de er i hvertfald det bedste danske band nogensinde.

  • @MichaelJacksonEverXD Bedste danske band nogensinde *host*Nephew*host*

  • @MagnuM2980 Nooooope :D

    Jeg synes ikke Mew er det bedste danske band, men det er ihvertfald heller ikke Nephew ^^

  • Comment removed

  • @MichaelJacksonEverXD

    Nu har Muse og Mew heller intet med hinanden at gøre..

    Men ja Mew er virkelig et fantastisk band. Dem og Kashmir er de bedste danske bands i den melankolske genre helt klart

  • @ahausgaard

    Mew er jo meget inspireret af Muse, så jo de har noget med hinanden at gøre..

    Muse created the genre and Mew lifted it up

  • - When I hear Mew - Im geting stormed by the memories of when I was small and always heard Mew .. - I Just do not understand why they did not get so successful - it is so pity when they were such a good band!. I - Når jeg hør Mew - bliver jeg stormet af minderne af da jeg var mindre og altid hørte Mew.. - Forstår bare ikke hvorfor de ikke fik en så stor succes, - det er så syndt når de var en så god band!. :i

  • My two favourite albums of all time are Abbey Road with the Beatles and Frengers with MEW.

  • I think this video is very different than videos by bands (for bands) ... it really makes me feel something... sore i guess... I feel sympathy for the elephant too......

  • If it wasn't for the subways i wouldnt be here now.

    thanks guys

  • i love this soo cool

  • Bo Madsen is my cousin.

    (:

  • COOL! Say hi from me ^^

  • thank you billy lunn from the subways for getting me into mew!

  • I feel sorry fore the elephant. :C

    He loves her...

  • PROUD! danish singers! ^^
