Mew is the most re-listenable band of all time. Everything is gorgeous and easy to digest, while still being complex and deep enough to tickle the most snobby musicians. Also, they have to grow on you, which adds even more listening time.
I clearly remember watching this video for the first time on MTV Denmark when I was only 12 and rushing out to buy the album the next day. Still my all-time favourite band. Crazy how time flies.
Mew's album Frengers is one of the albums that has weird and great tracks. From ten years ago til now, the concept of Frengers "not quite friends, not quite strangers" were ironic but happening in every point of your life :) salute to that :)
I had a dream last night about being on the 156th floor of a building. The power was out and I was trying to read the sign on the wall as I looked to the right of the hall I saw a creature like human running towards me like an animal would…. Right before I was devoured I woke up. I typed in 156 and this band showed up. Idk if it was fate or just by chance but I’m sad I haven’t heard them sooner. They need more credit for their work.
This was one of my favourite songs when I was a teenager. Now, many years later, I suddenly remembered the lyrics out of nowhere and managed to find the song again. Still one of my favourites.
I saw this video once on MYV Europe in 2003 when I was studying abroad in Sweden. I have not seen it again til tonight, though frengers has long followed me and been one of my favorite albums of all time.
The song is so beautiful and the lyrics are so deeply creepy. You have to hand it to Jonas, he can express complex emotions and stories in a second language better than most can in their first or only.
The lyrics are so creepy but at the same time this is one of the most beautiful choruses in the history of music, singing about chasing down an innocent girl never sounded so beautiful.
This album is so good. I came across this video on newgrounds back in 03 or 04. Bought the album. One of my all time favs. I live in Canada so the odds are pretty low that I would come across these guys. Glad I did. I think I had to get the record store to order the album for me.
From my boat I can see your house And when the lights are on I can watch you move Hear the wind whispering your name Twice the encouragement Of the real you Callie if your really want me to I can always get you down If you got the money for me Callie in the summer rain You will be kept dry you see If you got the money for me Making amends for distant wrong Sincere You can run away leave your books behind you but you should look back twice just to be on the safe side From my boat I can see your house but now the lights are off and there is no one home you are just like an avalanche cold as I might have guessed but at least I am covered up for now In a big, big way I am really small I get off my feet But i'm still distant Don't you just love goodbyes? Callie let us get it over with I can always get you down if you got the money for me Callie in the summerrain You will be kept dry you see If you got the money for me Most of our lives we try so hard to find the time I won't care for you like I'm really supposed to there are things I'll do that could really hurt you Don't you just love goodbyes? 156
Mew me lleva a sentir cosas que no puedo encontrar una oración que se acerque a lo que siento. Pero en el buen sentido como cuando eres niño y algo te agrada pero no sabes como llamarlo
the number 156 really follows me up EVERYWHERE, and everytime it happens, which is a LOT, I listen to this song. And, no, I don't believe in numerology and nothing out of the ordinary about this.
Hace largos años descubri a Mew por casualidad. Eight flew over... era el tema de fondo de un video random y me fascino tanto que lo busque hasta encontrarlo. Desde ese dia me hice fan de la banda y se que me acompañara hasta el final de mis dias. Gracias x tan hermosa musica. Con mucho amor desde Argentina hasta Dinamarca.
I loved this song when I was a kid because it sounded good. Now, 20 years later and having been the victim of stalking, it still sounds good but it's really hard to listen to.
@@gettinyukky shut the fuck up dude who lied to you so much that this is the immediate conclusion you come to after reading that comment Also sorry you went through that op
I flew from Los Angeles to see them play in Mexico City. Great concert. Later, walking home I saw a tiny old lady, homeless, under a small canopy. It was cold, rainy, and my pockets were heavy with coins. I took them out and filled her palms with them. I dont know what she exactly shouted at me, repeatedly, through smiles, but it really sounded like uno, cinq, seixe, uno, cinq, seixe! True story.
I'm here because my mom was in a deep sleep and when I accidentally woke her up, she shouted the number "fifteen six!". So I googled it and this video came up. No regerts.
It's strange. I got the european edition of Eggs Are Funny with the DVD ful of music videos, and whatever tape they used as source for 156, while clean, had a bunch of video artifacts (horizontal line appearing and disappearing at the top of the picture). Did they really lose the only pristine PAL master?
"Here is Wisdom. Let Him that hath Understanding count the Number of Our Lady; for it is the Number of a Woman; and Her Number is An Hundred and Fifty and Six."
A tip.... the old versions of the 1st album is so much better. its so much more feeling.I remembered that they had just maked the album when it got taken back and then after a long time came out again. lucky i got the old versions of the songs. i think they went on a new label with the album.

It's almost impossible to explain the feelings I experienced after listening to this. Many, many thanks for really understanding the human mind

So underrated. Discovered them on an mp3 blog in the mid 2000s during my teenage years... Really miss this sound and that time.
今でも聴いてるよ👍
we all are :)
check out grrrl gang too
I have ”Don’t you just love goodbyes?” tattooed on my underarm ❤️
I clearly remember watching this video for the first time on MTV Denmark when I was only 12 and rushing out to buy the album the next day. Still my all-time favourite band. Crazy how time flies.
ur cool af
Yess thank u
right.. I was also 12 when this album came out.. how time flies.
I remember this. It made me a huge impact back then and now that I recall this song after 20yrs I realized, the song is amazing!

anastasia valens she came home for christmas is an example
2020 still rings true
Agree

That unrelated dream leading to this video is 100% fate
I sat many hours waiting for this song to be played on the TV..
in which country may I add?
MTV nordic 2001!!
Same here, Up North early 2000’s
Same here, back then in Indonesia
This was one of my favourite songs when I was a teenager. Now, many years later, I suddenly remembered the lyrics out of nowhere and managed to find the song again. Still one of my favourites.
Same, this song still haunts me somehow, but love it as much as ever!
I LOVE MEW SO MUCH
MEW! I love this band. 156 is one of my all time favorite songs
the number follows me almost daily
I saw this video once on MYV Europe in 2003 when I was studying abroad in Sweden. I have not seen it again til tonight, though frengers has long followed me and been one of my favorite albums of all time.
My first time to watch. 😮 I'm so hooked
unbelievable how time slips... i was hooked on this when it came ages ago
his voice is something else
This song is amazing. It has everything......a classic
The song is so beautiful and the lyrics are so deeply creepy. You have to hand it to Jonas, he can express complex emotions and stories in a second language better than most can in their first or only.
Bring me old memories... I used to listen to this song, a decade ago... I will search this album...

This is on Newgrounds!?
ive always loved the animated head singing parts
Pure eargasm
I don't understand why this band is less successful.
From my boat I can see your house
And when the lights are on
I can watch you move
Hear the wind whispering your name
Twice the encouragement
Of the real you
Callie if your really want me to
I can always get you down
If you got the money for me
Callie in the summer rain
You will be kept dry you see
If you got the money for me
Making amends for distant wrong
Sincere
You can run away
leave your books behind you
but you should look back twice
just to be on the safe side
From my boat I can see your house
but now the lights are off
and there is no one home
you are just like an avalanche
cold as I might have guessed
but at least I am covered up for now
In a big, big way
I am really small
I get off my feet
But i'm still distant
Don't you just love goodbyes?
Callie let us get it over with
I can always get you down
if you got the money for me
Callie in the summerrain
You will be kept dry you see
If you got the money for me
Most of our lives we try so hard
to find the time
I won't care for you
like I'm really supposed to
there are things I'll do
that could really hurt you
Don't you just love goodbyes?
156
“156, don’t you just love goodbyes”
apparently they just said goodbye :(
@@TheOrisya aw f! Not good
the best band
Only Mew can tell about running away and leaving your book behind in the most interesting way
my friend from denmark introduced me to these guys in 2006. been looking for them ever since.
best cartoon art!!!
Mew me lleva a sentir cosas que no puedo encontrar una oración que se acerque a lo que siento. Pero en el buen sentido como cuando eres niño y algo te agrada pero no sabes como llamarlo
First song and music video i saw and i've loved them since, when this song was new!
will be seeing these play on the 22nd may in manchester !! yeey
156 is my motocross racing number!!
By far my favorite of the music videos so far, though I love them all
the number 156 really follows me up EVERYWHERE, and everytime it happens, which is a LOT, I listen to this song. And, no, I don't believe in numerology and nothing out of the ordinary about this.
Miss you guys!

@@gettinyukky cringe like your memes
@@gettinyukky Who says that's a girl

So nostalgic it hurts x So much feels it hurts x Song so good it hurts = Pain relief
coming back home from school..turned on MTV...and this was on
udah tua ya gua, ini lagu keren di masanya, sampai sekarang juga asik didengar
How come Mew never got to be the biggest band in the world?
I will always wonder about that.
same
Still listening ...27-02-2023 İstanbul
2024 baby. This still hits.
Finally, it's back!
just so beautiful...
love so much

I was there too.
so cute

Please come to Nashville!
if youve loved this in the 2000s.. ur so cool
awesome
this song was in finnish movie "Game over" and it caught in my head. It still brings memories over 15 years ago
Don't you just love goodbyes...
ikr😢
No, I very much don't. :-(
The song that started me in mew..
+1
Ditto
Finally the videoclip is back. Awesome.
Andromeda brought me here a long time ago
156 (The Stalker Song).
Yeah but it's so elegant. :D
Joe Smoe you mean elefant
Casper Wind-Hansen hahahahaha, poor elefant
if I'm not mistaken 156 is the angles number.
156 is God
The last refrain is so damn ominous
my favorite song 🙂
I always took the 156 bus to secondary school when this came out so this suits that as well.
Summer Of Haze brought me here
I saw this on MTV once
Love From Indonesia
México por aquí *^*
Nadie vaya hasta que un paisano se deja ver y tambien un paisano que no escucha chakaton o banda
Jsjsjs llegué tarde
Fan de Mew
Finnally I can watch the video from Mexico!
a classic

Sounds similar to the beach boys - good vibrations!
"From my butt, I can see your house..."
When I showed this song to my dad almost 2 years ago that's what he though Jonas said
En Colombia existe alguien que los ama e idolatra. Yo. 🥰😘🥰
2023 and still
"Here is Wisdom. Let Him that hath Understanding count the Number of Our Lady; for it is the Number of a Woman; and Her Number is
An Hundred and Fifty and Six."

Is the art in this video done by Ron Rege Jr.?
Yes!!! He’s about to do a new video for Lavender Diamond’s new single.
I preffer the "Half the world is watching me" version.
A tip.... the old versions of the 1st album is so much better. its so much more feeling.I remembered that they had just maked the album when it got taken back and then after a long time came out again. lucky i got the old versions of the songs. i think they went on a new label with the album.
It was their 3rd album.

"From my bird....."
I want whatever the video director was smoking to come up with this
Vevo ...
Finally :v
Mew must be the weirdest band I've ever liked. And I totally have no idea why I like them in the first place...
If it's the voice go have a listen to tame impala too
Salsabila Amari Maybe because they're great as fuck?
+Salsabila Amari Listen to Silverson pickups and Karnivool
+Salsabila Amari They're like music for your dreams.
+Joshua Smith I could never explain Mew's music, but this is actually how I feel about them.
