MEW - The Zookeeper's Boy (Video)

[@cameroncroft8200]

I've seen Mew three times. Met them all twice. Got signed setlists, t-shirts, and a CD. They mean so much to me. My husband now loves Mew, also. I converted someone!

[@Dennzer1]

The more converts the better

[@heygema]

why aren't they doing gigs nowadays?

[@VacantChannel]

I'm 30 years old now... Can't believe I was a teen was like most of you here. Cheers!

[@StoryCycleCo.]

Me, 40 by 2024. And still here

[@JohnLRice]

😎👍 Although I was in my mid 40's back in the early 2000's when I fell in love with Mew! 😬

[@markleavitt2155]

Love the harmonies in this song. Amazing. Can't stop listening.

[@titovaliant]

Are you my lady, are you My lady are you, are you My lady are you my lady, are you My lady are you, are you? If I don't make it back from the city Then it is only because I am drawn away For you see, evidently there's a dark storm coming And the chain on my swing is squeaking like a mouse, so Are you my lady, are you My lady are you, are you (The rain, the rain, the rain) My lady are you, my lady are you (is falling down, the cars remain) My lady are you, are you You're tall just like a giraffe You have to climb to find its head But if there's a glitch You're an ostrich You've got your head in the sand In a submersible I can hardly breathe As it takes me inside, so the light sings Answer me truthfully, do the clouds kiss you? With meringue-coloured…

[@chilanya]

and all this time i misheard the lyric: Lion, my lady lion, my lady lion, lion. Oops. In the zoo context it kinda made sense..

[@starkid77]

I still don't know how I found this band years ago, but this song and many others is placed in a golden palace in my mind, taken out and admired for only special purposes. They are a great band. Jonas BJerre has an angelic voice, and even that feels like a banal description of it and the amazing band that is Mew, Silas, and Johan all form a band that is one of the best I ever heard of, because I love almost every single song I've ever heard from this band which means they resonate to the core of me, hoping to see a live concert soon because live I'm sure would just be an experience I could barely describe.

[@tarminas6805]

Almost

[@haroldoakland3480]

This is sonically perfect to my ears, not to even mentioned the pacing or the rhythm. This is a wonder to behold each and every time I hear it, real piece of perfection of the performing and recording arts. Oh and also, I have plenty of irrational love for the pure timbre of it :)

[@Dennzer1]

Excellent description

[@onni4635]

Mew is so fricking underrated

[@NE0Nwhip]

Underrated is a good thing in our corrupt society yet I think they signed the contract

[@Meatballeater]

10 tahun lalu tmn kos saya selalu memutar lagu ini. Sya tidak tahu nama bandnya hanya tau nadanya. Dan sekarang sya menemukannya.

[@TeddyLeppard]

Melodically, this song is a miracle. I couldn't repeat any of the lyrics if I wanted, but I just view them as texture for the melody.

[@TheRubberStudiosASMR]

The harmonies on this song are out of this world. I remember hearing it in 2006 and thinking what the fuck, this is so beautiful! The clip is amazing too. Reminiscent of Teen Spirit.

[@Vanya2914]

lagu ini seperti punya nyawanya sendiri... dan jonas menghidupkan irama dr karakter suaranya yg khas bgt...superb!! love this song..

[@hafkinamum5033]

this fascinating melody...who else but Mew!

[@blujay1608]

A friend just recommended this. What an incredible song! I just get lost in the thick of its splendor. I love the blending and harmonizing of all vocals and instruments.

[@kaydash3868]

This song was introduced to me by my then boyfriend. He is now my husband

[@fullcircle2340]

Well okay

[@tiffanynelson1467]

Good choice

[@angiagis3662]

Kay Dash In the meantime kindly listen to my bf’s music kzbin.info/www/bejne/mH-VlqCQa8tpmrc, he’s an architect in Bali and almost forget bout his talent in music. I Think he needs an exposure. Thank youu ❤️

[@tommykesh]

This song was introduced to me by your husband he is now my gay lover

[@miguelarambula1759]

Whatever fruitcake

[@vikingfortiesfaeroes]

This is such a complex tapestry of sound; it's difficult to focus on who's saying what, but it's so harmonius it's as if it doesn't even matter

[@deuteronltd]

Nice I agree!

[@BelledelaGroove]

EXACTLY!! Its an orchestral arrangement but also a rock ballad❤

[@tarminas6805]

​@@BelledelaGrooveand also a song. Amazing

[@kansascityshuffle_]

I'm too deeply in love with Jonas Bjerre's band, vocals, brilliancy and lips >.

[@ryanvalentine5485]

Bought the album in 2005. Still listening to it in 2019. ❤️

[@spookylovely]

I would never forget that one rainy sleepless night on 2007 when I first discovered this song on midnight tv show and I just instantly hypnotized and fell in love with Jonas' angelic voice

[@josevegaarias]

I'm currently obssesed with this song! The video is mesmerizing! LOVE Mew from the start. Never leave me!

[@heldh7180]

One of my favourite, still admire it for this past 9 years

[@ichigatsujohn]

An absolutely magical song - I still get goosebumps on my skin when I hear it. What a wonderfully sensitive band. Their show at The Paradise in Boston was one of the best I've ever seen.

[@NDRXXX]

I wanna cry, where did this old good music go?

[@allsaunders317]

Mew has a unique sound they would never be a super popular mainstream band they seem comfortable with that

[@jimkee7988]

Damn. I love this song so much. The most incredible vocals. I’ve listened to this song / watched the video so many times in the last 4 days. And now I’m officially obsessed with listening to everything else by MEW.

[@Dennzer1]

awesome

[@auteur55]

Hard to put into words how amazing I believe this music to be. Like time stands still. Just incredible.

[@sandy47555]

his voice is angelic!

[@TheWhimsicalFuzzwald]

We need more bands like Mew.

어릴 때 우연히 접했던 스웨덴 그룹 kent를 듣다가 Mew까지... 나의 10대 시절 즐겨 듣던 북유럽 음악. 친구들은 뭐 이런 음악을 듣느냐고 핀잔을 줬지만 나에겐 10대 시절의 추억이 담겨져 있다. -From Korea-

[@naninkibrahim6258]

listening this in 2017... still awsome...

Hi. I'm from 2017 to.

I have never heard this song before but it's amazingballs.

[@555_Lady_JB]

ha ha cool

[@erind8849]

I am so glad I caught this song on Alt Nation years ago! I only heard it once but it was so beautiful it made me want to cry. I own lots of Mew now. I shudder when I think I might have missed it and never discovered this amazing band. I don't think it got much airplay.

[@Lykke65]

Me maj 2018

[@marissaulfah4475]

such a unique band. love them so much

[@bengyy.m]

I love how the multiple voices match in the end, this is a true masterpiece, long live Mew! #2018

[@LintangRinastiti]

beautiful song... unique lyric, angelic voice

[@SekarlangitUmastuti]

Can't get over it! Love this song very much! Whenever I face a shit day, I put my earphone and sink in to the tunes. Just. A. Great. Song.

[@mkelly481]

10 years later and I still get chills the last :30 of the song

This is one of preciously few songs that makes time stand still.

[@Carlos111111able]

Mew and the glass handed kites! Class!

[@baruwangi]

entah kenapa aku sampai lupa nama bandnya, aku ingat ingat gak ada dalam memoriku, hari ini ketika hujan turun , tiba tiba mew , ya itu band itu, terimakasih telah membuat waktu mudaku berkesan

[@scottmichaeloneil]

This song is the definition of epic. Even the video manages to tap into this magical kind of understated grandeur. Amazing effort.

[@peikuan3318]

when u think that that the CD sounds great.. wait till u see their live! simply AMAZING! love from Malaysia ❤ counting days to see MEW on 10th May in KL, Malaysia! again!

[@tassdragonminn7369]

I like this video and the song. Majestic and Epic. I feel like I was heading to a battle when listening. I first heard this song when in England and listen to more while deployed to Iraq.

[@tetsuhideyoshi]

I just looked up to this song's PV even though I listened to this for the first time 6 years ago. I was 10 and I know nothing about good music, and Mew has a very big impact on my point of view of music now that I'm 16. this song still sounds great, too great, the instrumental and the harmonies, the everything, I'm glad I got to watch them live and they're very beautiful. god I wish they're not this underrated among people of my age.

[@rvh4034]

Listen to it now that you are 22. Still amazing!!

[@febevivi4160]

Pas denger live nih lagu lebih keyeeeeeeenn ternyata..

[@yayserotonin]

For those who are curious, the painting in the background is "The Death of Major Peirson" by John Singleton Copley. It depicts the Battle of Jersey (the European island, not the American state) during the American War of Independence. Odd choice for this song, yet still a beautiful work of art.

[@johannamost4387]

Thx man

[@christinafrch904]

Jeg elsker hvordan stemmerne går ind i hinanden.....Meget professionelt og et af de bedste danske bands ever,-efter min mening ;-).

this is my favourite song about giraffes

[@SelvesteSand]

+melsinki8 I don't know if it's THAT good. It's probably only my, idk, fourth favourite song about giraffes.

[@mousiedung]

Tied with "This Here Giraffe"

[@thecitizenjoan]

The song is not about giraffes lol Hopefully this comment is satirical

[@moonboogien8908]

@@thecitizenjoan this song literally talks about climbing a giraffe's neck to find its head.... It couldn't be any more clear. Also ostrich's heads being stuck in the sand.... Its a song about learning animal names for children. Zookeeping.

My favorite from the already stellar 'And the glass handed kites'. And especially the triptych Apocalypso/Special/The Zookeepers Boy. The way they just push Jonas' vocals to the front and let him have all the space, magnificent.
