Mew - Silas The Magic Car (lyrics)

[ChocoRobz]

The Metrolyrics website has slightly different lyrics than the one on this video.

[SenorValentine]

this band never ceases to make me feel emotional...so powerful this music is

[kolaanna]

Anyone who think that the lyrics are incorrect, is stupid. I too have the booklet and the lyrics are 100% correct.

[demogorgonpathos19]

This is the best song on shrooms.

[feikma90]

@demogorgonpathos19 I bet your a real faggot. youre*

[demogorgonpathos19]

@feikma90 Wow. Your still faithful?

you're*

[feikma90]

@demogorgonpathos19 duh

[luisale130]

I can't believe this has 27988 and panamericano (one of the most stupid songs)..has 21,743,286...

Who listen mew is a SMART PERSON...and Know about music..

the others that listen (garabage music like panamericano are such idiots..)

if you are here enjoy the music

[cvijetics]

@luisale130 I just looked up that panamericano song and all I have to say is... PUKE!!

[luisale130]

@cvijetics yes I Know,,and I like your channel..you really know about music =)

[cvijetics]

@luisale130 Thanks my friend. I love certain types of house music but I absolutely can't stand cookie cutter trash like "panamericano" :)

[dontrunweareurfriend]

@luisale130 i agree with you luisale :)

[SmithPaul23]

Its mos def i wanted you to be at home my system is crystal and i wouldnt contest the lyric book im with ryanmullins15 on that , regardless a milestone in haunting ballads that is an undying innate melody

[SuperiorSwagon1]

silas and bo they got tired, and they'll call you once a week. cuz it's strange here no dark career! wow.

[SuperiorSwagon1]

I think Jonas is saying like 4 different things at the same time to get that sound and he just put the lyrics for one of lines. Idk that's what i think.

[TomoyoCombo]

Dude i have the booklet to, and it says What did you dream about.

[ryanmullins15]

@TomoyoCombo Lol...

[screwthiskid]

One of them says "I wanted you to go home" in a lower octave While the other says "what did you dream about" in the higher octave.

[Schlitzcat]

@screwthiskid Yes, I really think this is what's going on here.

[Derfonic]

When I first heard this song I got so scared because I assumed Silas and Bo were leaving the band :-|

[digitalismx]

I wanna puke, this is so discustingly pretty.

[caltrof]

A beauty

[dogeymon83]

Have no idea what this song is about...... or what most MEW songs are about. They're so excruciatingly personal.

[brookeECHELON]

love this song too much

[bmfc1000]

Such an Amazing song, such an Amazing Band!

[SmithPaul23]

beautiful, haunting, vague, dreamy its in my regular rotation i like Hawaii also.

[DhieP9]

freak freak freak, mew rulez

[INSTG8R75]

Yes I have the lyrics book too and even then it's a pretty tough read, Silly Danes you rule!

[SteenFromElva]

This is one of the greatest songs ever made... at least for me.

Do anyone have any idea what they`re tryinbg to say?

[Morphoza]

I think it`s "what did you dream about?" not "I wanted you to be home". at least this is what I found when I looked for the lyrics.

[ryanmullins15]

Well being that I have the lyrics booklet... I think I know best.

[jorgen213]

Hehe, no doubt! :)

[lillebums1]

@ryanmullins15 But it really does sound like they say something in addition to what it says in the booklet....

[Schlitzcat]

@ryanmullins15 Is it possible that they're singing both? It almost sounds like there are two different things being sung at once. But yeah, in the live version on youtube of this song he's saying "I wanted you to be home"

[xfighterfan]

@ryanmullins15 If u have the lyrics booklet, why would u Thank everyone who helped you decipher lyrics, if there is no need to decipher them, because u had allready had them

[Raftonfire]

@ryanmullins15 HAHAHAHA, good call

[4lp4z3ro]

@ryanmullins15 i think everyone is allowed to interpretate the lyrics for themselves, that is what gives music a personal touch and emotion. Ofcourse it will be what the booklet says, but , why wouldnt we be allowed to hear What did you dream about ?

[ryanmullins15]

@4lp4z3ro Mew never reveals what their lyrics mean because they leave it up to you to interpret it but I think the correct lyrics helps you to better form an interpretation.

[quiksix25]

It's definitely I wanted you to be at home. all those lyric websites are wrong.

[dogeymon83]

@quiksix25 - All I hear is "I wanted you to be at...."

[quiksix25]

@dogeymon83 I heard a live version and he's def. saying "I wanted you to be at home" I'm more interested in finding a meaning behind it. I thought Silas and Bo might be either drug dealers or drug addicts, but I'm not so sure now.

[getlostfreakxD]

@Morphoza When you buy the album (which you should) the lyrics are all in there in that little cover-book-thing. It says "I wanted you to be at home" even though it is hard to hear as he sings it. :-)

[Miss99summer]

@Morphoza uhm i looked up the lyrics on various sites and its says " what did you dream about?" so i totally agree. this video is incorrect :s

[komihonavarro]

@Morphoza it's strange 'cause my booklet says "i wanted to be at home" & when i seaching the lirycs on line appears what did you dram about.

[2505kerstin]

magic..

[marebare88]

I freakin Love this song

[Ching1888]

The L and R channels say different things.

[fooberdoobs]

it's insane......love it so much......

[retrolyte]

I always heard

"I wanted you to be at home"

as

"I wanted you to meet us".

[TrineWalkes]

I heard "i wanted u to meet her"....

[zerotonico]

Lovely

[nazmihares]

i feel like a baby in a cradle

rocking back and forth

enjoying the best sleep ever..

[TheScarlettscar]

the song that i play over and over again in my car

[Sigurt156]

I adore that picture, it's the best pic of Mew ever.

And the song is just amazing.

[emmandreas]

this is my idea of the lyrics:

I wanted you to be a..

I wanted you to be a..

something.. can't make out this part..

to light my day

[jaffawoman123456]

"I wanted you to be at home,

I wanted you to be at home.

Could you foresee a day

you might not play?"

[elpicopormisvenas]

this band recall me to mercury rev!

[sofiehenneberg02]

I love this song so much. It really shows how talentet Danish musicans are.!

[quiksix25]

all the lyric websites are wrong, it's definitely "I wanted you to be at home" I heard a live version with no distortion.

[ryanmullins15]

I don't know this language but I'm going to assume that I know what your asking... its "I wanted you to be at home"

[corovanmoro]

I don't get it... you said these are the "official lyrics," yet you also said "Thanks to everyone that helped to decipher the lyrics."

[ryanmullins15]

I said this because when I first originally posted this video the lyrics weren't out. So they were just what some users and I thought they were but since the official lyrics are now out I put the proper lyrics up. XP

[corovanmoro]

Ohh, thanks for clearing that up. :)

Beautiful song by the way. I bought the CD today! They are indeed the official lyrics. :P

[elgremioestaenhuelga]

Amazing. Best album of the year. just wow!!!!

[lifeforcenrg]

my favorit song no doubt !!!!!

[ryanmullins15]

Now a days I'm liking Cartoons and Macrame Wounds more than this :P...

[doubleonions]

this is astonishingly beautiful

[tomatoma500]

it's "no dark career" officially

[mewsic156]

is it "no dark career" or "Know the Career"?

[silacio83]

My name is Silas, and its pronounced Si-las, with the "i" as in Ignorent.

[fuzia]

it's definitely pronounced Sigh-lus because it's an english song. Would be weird to pronounce it See-las which it normally is in danish :]

[Ssaaarra]

On the video diary they pronounce it ''See-lus''... They were speaking Danish so it's probably how it really is.

[zxyaa22]

before i read the text, i always thought it was "what did you dream about?" ofcourse now i hear its "i wanted you to be at home". its cool but i still think "what did you dream about?" is pretty nice too.

this was a pretty meaningless comment.. lol

[Ssaaarra]

Best song from No More Stories :)

[kidcalledcomputer]

Agreed.

[atree1226]

In an interview, the interviewer pronounced Silas as "See- les"(the vowel of the second syllabus as a weak one.), and Bo corrected it as "See- lus". I think the way Bo calls him is the most corrective one.

[girlvssky]

Reminds me of a dream.

[AnnaTheDream]

Ahh!! This song is fucking beautiful!

[ryanmullins15]

If anyone is looking for any of the lyrics to MEW's new album No More Stories go to:

w w w . m e w x . i n f o / w p / ? p a g e _ i d = 6 5 7

[breakingglass27]

I thought "Silas" was pronounced like "see-lus", not "sigh-lus".

[slick07]

I was thinking the same thing...

[MegDragonfly13]

I hear it pronounced sigh-lus in America, Canada and Alaska. But in European countries, i've heard it pronounced see-lus.

[breakingglass27]

But both from Jonas! Because on the Live in CPH DVD he says "see-lus" I think. It's just weird to me to change how you pronounce the name of your friend that you've known for like 20 years, you know?

[jimm0729]

maybe "sigh-lus" sounds better with the song.

[johnmora]

agreed.

[stainboy1000]

There are moments here where Jonas sounds almost Ben Gibbard'ish! - This is a gem, but lyrics are as always so so, but whateva. This album should give them a broader audience. Beautiful.

[jessad12]

Jonas bjerre could say "poop" the whole song, and i would still consider it the most amazing song ever.

[mpdissorder]

I think after what did you dream about it says

"if i stay... tonight (it?) might be late" but only the soft voice says that i don't know about the deep voice

but i'm not sure, some friends and I figured it out

[ryanmullins15]

yeah that sounds pretty correct, ty... i will add it when i get a chance :)

[mpdissorder]

anyone has the lyrics complete?

[ryanmullins15]

the lyrics are complete now!!!! YIIIPPPIEEEE!!!!!

[mpdissorder]

its my favourite of all

[svenrozeboom]

this is an addictive song, indeed. i like this song almost as much as i like "beach".

but i always thought he said "no-doubt career"

[ryanmullins15]

Yeah beach is pretty amazing i must say.... and i had it as no doubt career but then someone told me to change it to know the career and it just seems to make more sense... especially when he adds the word you infront of the verse.

[maxmilianjames]

this is one of the best songs on the album

[HXH1993]

this song is already on my favourites list... absolutelly adorable

[crayfl]

They used so many variations of jonas' voice. I love his voice at 0:50. Ive never heard him sing like that before. I didnt listen to the whole song though, I dont wanna spoil the whole album.

[GOGEISTGO]

Oh, this is easily the best song on the album. I've listened to this song like 30 times in the last 2 days. haha.

[ryanmullins15]

haha yeah as of now im listenin to it at least 3 times a day XD

[twololli]

jonas looks reeeeeally cute in this picture :)

and this song is really cute.

silas is an awesome drummer.

[Awesomesauces]

Beautiful!
