They could be bigger like Radiohead or Muse. This band is criminally underrated. Love them.

[@stephenlasko9217]

Sorry nowhere near as creative as Radiohead. Great for what it is.

[@lukfawantrijati1654]

Muse maybe, but radiohead c'mon they are on another level as a musician

[@tantragazali3265]

MEW is superb, but im not agree them bigger than Radiohead. IMO

[@samabas]

Agree .

[@epicmetod]

they popular here in Indonesia during 2000s

[@cpablo2670]

2024 Still🔥🔥🔥👍

[@buzzardbeatniks]

13 years ago I heard this song on the radio, I went home and looked up this video. I then went on to watch every video of theirs I could find and read every tid bit of information about them I could find, within a couple of hours I was obsessed. In the early evening I went to get some dinner at the pub near my house and picked up the local events paper. Mew were playing that very night in town. So off I went to the show, Within a day I discovered Mew, consumed everything, and in the height of my new obsession saw them play live in a tiny club, very trippy day.

[@katekate4911]

damn, that's amazing 🩷

[@father042]

This band is so underrated it hurts

[@chichichioma]

I was introduced to this band through International Music Feed (the TV show), but the show was taken down along with the station after only running for three years. I'm from the USA, and there are so many international bands/artists that I would not have even known existed if it weren't for that show. Now, I don't see Mew anywhere other than KZbin, and that's because I actually KNOW to look for them.

[@OleVidarOve]

True

[@twistedviewlabs]

Chioma Ojini they played the states in 2015. I caught them on that tour. it was magical. they're probably going to tour this year as well seeing as they have a new album coming out in April. this band needs to be bigger here, they're huge in Europe and everywhere else. if you want to keep up with them, join the Frengers group on FB. that's what I did.

[@devvvvvvvvvvvv]

Why does every silly person on the internet use the word 'underrated' to describe everything they like?

[@etherealcatholic5711]

Agree and I can't believe this song wasn't a hit.

[@mily.gm22]

That voice is sweet, deep and beautiful. One of my favourite tracks of MEW. Plus this is one of my private bands wich I enjoy much more being alone.

[@GotEmAll1337]

The best thing MTV has ever done is play this video on MTVU in my University dining hall... that is how I discovered this band. to this day still one of my favorites, and easily one of the most criminally underrated bands of all time

[@lukekhidir1953]

I still can't seem to catch what the lead vocal was saying for the 2nd part of the pre chorus. Anyone knows th lyrics for that part?

[@southcoaster986]

Well I've been completely singing that wrong! 🤣 Thanks for sharing

[@soysaucehairdye7869]

This song is very addicting and nice subtle time signature change. These guys are brutally underrated and sadly no one where I live in the states have even heard of them.

[@davidadams2395]

SoySauce HairDye Sadly, there are many here in the States who know nothing of Mew. Frengers was my introduction, and I've remained a loyal fan.

[@shiddiqification]

on my part .. less folks that know this band is what makes them special .. dont want mew change into somthing else like the latest tokio hotel, miley cyruz or katy perry when they signed on hollywood .. i bet u know what i mean .. for an underrated band they already take a concert on my place like fifth times ..

[@nimityaka]

SoySauce HairDye I don't think it's a bad thing. They have their "fan" base, these people love their music. Look what happened to Coldplay. They were truly genius and now it's a regular pop music you can't tell one from another. Honestly Coldplay stopped existing for me after duet with Beyoncé.

[@egrafixs]

SoySauce HairDye , my bro introduced them to me like 4 years ago. Still love this song.

[@DragonPlays_Gaming]

I'm from the states. I saw the video of Am I Wry. No on Mtv years ago and have loved them ever since.

[@ndine.nadine]

Fuhhh. I was 14 when I listened to this song, it released a year before. My bestriend asked me to listen to her mp3. We're both 28 this year. How fast time flies.

[@crapola251]

same same (14 when i listened and 28 now). love Mew forever.

Me too. I thought first time i hear this song when i'm 13. How time flies so fast

[@mattbarca89]

I'm 28 now but 29 in a few months. Special friend told me to listen to it. When I first saw it I didn't think much, then I went a few days and realised this was the song I was missing! I don't always listen to this but I must play it at least 4 times a year!

[@UswatunHasanah-is8bl]

im a frenger since like, what, 5years ago. i watched MEW live two times and actually it was just two days ago they had a show in my country (Jakarta, INA) i always have this feeling that i cant describe with words everytime i see them live, theyre beyond amazing. even after a hundred shows and in a hundred years i would still go to their concert. Bo, Jonas and Silas thank you for being MEW. you guys are amazing and no doubt about it!

[@nashcomp]

Idk if you still wach yt butblove your sense of music, many skandinavian bands are awesome creating such an surreal sound and anggelic melodies, the first offcourse Abba, Aha, carparknorth and mew

[@liotommy]

Still getting goosebumps when listening to it, after so many years. One of the greatest rock songs of the last 20 years.

[@ShauqiSpade]

I’ve only been to a concert 3 times, but this is the first one that i paid using my own hard earned money and it’s worth every penny. Silas was performing in front of my face because im at the fence facing his drums ❤

[@MrSurferRosa]

So underrated. It's the perfect pop song with a GREAT production!

[@HorridFcknCvvnnt]

+MrSurferRosa 924,050 views underrated? I would be happy with that

[@MrSurferRosa]

***** it's good but it deserves more because it's a fantastic single from a great band.

+MrSurferRosa did you just called this pop not even

[@nathanborn95]

+Shane Zuniga it's pop, not commercial but still pop

[@GTMaxy94]

+nathanborn95 pretensious pop like the band itself likes to call it xD

[@bliss9889]

This song is so infectiously catchy. The music video defiantly delivers a beautiful visual. A masterpiece from an underrated band.

[@pokeelyy15]

I feel super young amongst Mew fans, Im 15 and I have all their albums:) I signed this song for sign language class, its my most favorite song by Mew followed by The Seething Rain Weeps For You.

[@jujuj4m]

ur 27 now, hope everything is well!!

[@Aiur]

The passage of time via YT comments, there has to be a German word for it

[@ArchiveForAnotherTime]

The way this song just rips right into that beat/melody is INSANE. It really helps me kill my own pity party and start the day with a "fuckin' get moving, get on" attitude.

[@endermetal]

I'm a metal guy and was listening to the band Astronoid on YT. Some of the comments mentioned them taking a lot of inspiration from Mew, and I can definitely hear it. For fans of Mew looking for something similar with a heavier touch, I can't recommend Astronoid enough.

[@gregasmic]

If I may, I would recommend you Deas Vail. They are also a band that inspired by Mew (and some other bands also, of course)

[@augustuscolumbano]

The song that sparked my love for this band, almost a decade now and I still love it that much. Also has one of the very best music videos I've seen so far.

[@spineluminous9751]

I remember hearing this song because the radio station I listened to would play the top ten most illegaly downloaded songs and this was always somewhere on the list. Same with "love me or hate me".

[@AgentSmith911]

I was 16-17 when this song got popular at my school, now I'm 32 and revisit this band now and then.

exact the same.. but it was never popular in my school.. is great when this music comes to you at the right time of your life..

[@AgentSmith911]

@@ElEcodelTren Hey, where do you live? I live in Norway and I just turned 34 an hour ago! 😃 I was just thinking about how fast life goes by, and about how my careless youth seem like yesterday and how a lot of the friends I had back in the day are long gone because people come and go. In another 17 years I'll be 51 years old 🤔 Anyways I'm just rambling on here, but it's good to have music along the way that connects us to our memories, even if it's not the most popular songs 😆 Cheers!

This music video and song captured my musical imagination as an angsty 16 year old watching the indie music show on Fuse at 11 pm...and it still does. I'm 33 now, and I've been in a band called rincs for five years; we have two songwriters, but when the songs start with me, I can really hear Mew's influence
