[@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.

[@hedobannord1184]

This song still slaps in 2024!

[@kentucky_ken]

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

[@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 🩷

[@missworld9937]

i was addicted to that song back in a days. and i still love it.

[@hombreautorreparandose3909]

Me too, i listen since 2009 when i discovered Mew.

[@LuckeyWlas]

+Saúl Nezahualcóyotl I discover them in 2006. And I also wrote a teller ispired by this song (I was 16, sooo young °^°)

[@hombreautorreparandose3909]

Luckey Wlas Wow, in my personal experience, since i listen this song, my love relations being accompained by many songs, my last relationship remebered me this song and i listen again since then.

[@badjim4323]

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.

It's over Thank you for your wonderful music, you will be missed

[@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

[@sunatiesioux]

This song is like a rocket through me.

[@cpablo2670]

🤩🔥

[@floteamo]

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.

[@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.

[@bibilubis4159]

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!

[@ndine.nadine]

[@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

[@bliss9889]

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

[@MarvelGod-nx5po]

I mewed in the entire video

[@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

[@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.

[@shanezuniga2647]

+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

[@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

[@E.C.2]

Can't believe this song is so old. Time flies!

Gotta say, it's real weird to not have this song immediately followed by Zookeeper. Still love it though

[@av782]

+geminni I know dats right.

This song changed my life

[@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 ❤

[@daryldraws8083]

Was searching about tongue posture... but found a gem song instead.

[@etherealcatholic5711]

Brings back memories as I haven't heard this in years.

[@pawsoned]

This isn't just a song - it's a SPECIAL treat you come across 'once in a'blue moon'. It's totally outstanding.

[@joshuatorresnarvaez8765]

This is a bloody MASTERPIECE

[@synyska]

it's not. comforting sounds is masterpiece.

[@liotommy]

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

[@muznerd]

at the pre-chorus, 1:03, I had eargasm! That bass backup vocal!

This song brings back so many memories, reminds me of when I was courting my wife. Over 10yrs strong

[@user-yp1io4nz8z]

Jeg lyttede til den hele tiden, da jeg gik i gymnasiet. Jeg er 37 år gammel nu, men denne sang vækker stadig genklang hos mig. Vi roder efter dig fra Japan.

Sam Carter said he liked Mew in a very recent interview so here I am checking it out.

Haven't heard this song in forever but the lyrics just came to me ❤

Most people here are long time fans, i love mew for over a decade now. Mew is one of those bands that once you like it you never get tired of it

[@mariawilmsnielsen4405]

I can not believe that so few have heard of Mew, i am going to their concert i Aarhus, Denmark the 14´th of november and i am so anxious!!!! Actually my cousin went to primary school with Jonas Bjerre!! Bottom line, they are truly amazing!!

Maria Wilms Nielsen And actually, my cousin once went to the supermarket where the lady behind the counter said that she had once seen a picture of Michael Jackson!

I only found out in about 2009 because of Pokémon. (Mew was the first pokémon registered and yet it was after the band was created, so the band was first.)

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

[@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!

[@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)

[@ajinka4444]

one of my top songs ever forever!

[@anthropablogy]

I always come back to this album. It’s a criminally underrated masterpiece.

[@plzreadabook]

This is my favorite song of all time. I first saw this video on the IMF channel 4 years ago, and since then I've developed a deep appreciation for this band and expanded my musical horizons by listening to many more international bands. I've also bonded with many people over this one incredible song. So Mew, I thank you.

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

Still rocking this in 2024. I randomly bought "...and the Glass Handed Kites" based on the sticker on the front "If you like MUSE" and fell in love with them. Being in the US they rarely, if ever, tour here. I was lucky enough to see them perform live when they opened for Nine Inch Nails at the Hollywood Paladium. The very same night NIN played The Downward Spital in it's entirety. Got lucky twice that night.
