This version of 156 was the first i heard of MEW. It was the song that made me love them. Today they are one of my favorite bands. But this version cant be found at all. not on Spotify not on CDs... :(... this youtube clip made my day!!! :D:D:D havent heard this version for about 7-8 years. thanks
It's the version off the album: "Half the World is Watching Me" 2007 Re-issue. They might have it on the original as well, but I only have the reissue.
The opening riff is amazing. These guys need more recognition for the originality and sick song writing skills. The drum parts and rhythms are all genius.
This is the more raw, unfinished version, the one I remember from the Audiogalaxy days, like 2001 or so. For me, this represents the perfect amount of "production" - not too shiny, not too lo-fi, like a photograph where no shadows or highlights are lost.
+Levi Shand Excelente descripción de sonido, a veces la producciones de calidad y costosas arruinan la naturalidad de la canción. Con Mew pasa esto, también con Im wry no, es mucho mejor la versión Demo que la versión del disco.
it's kinda weird, this is the song that i've been searching for many years since 2006. i just remember the rhythm but didnt know the title. i knew that MEW who sing this song, but because i havent listen to all of their songs, it just missing like that... and i feel so relieved today after accidently find it here. many thanks for you :)
This version is really interesting, the Frengers version flows a lot better, and the dynamic changes make it sound EPIC, but this version is still a great listen.
@ler0y182 a photo from a digital camera with some photoshop fixes and stuff :) Original was much more brighter so we fixed it to be more dark on the right side of it and make it really "from inside a dark closet" or "crack in the wall" or something like that :)
@sallyheartjack it's acctually a friend of mine :) she let me use her picture for this one since i thought it fitted :) shes a real cameraloved girl :) why?
I think I like the Frengers version better, but the chorus in this version is spectacular. And this one has horns in it and a female vocalist? Both versions are nice though. They're kinda like two different songs. :)
@sallyheartjack it's acctually a picture of a good friend of mine :) she agreed to let me use this pic in this video... shes really photogenic :) why? :)
I prefer the frengers one because this one lacks the brilliant "contrast" between vers/pre chorus and chorus that the frengers verison has. Drums are greath though.
i've always prefered this version, it's such an amazing song. it's so much better than the one they made for frengers! :) a shame they changed it, really.
Why Original tag -..- It should Half The World Is Watching Me version tagged or the picture are Half The World Is Watching Me cover -..- All from MEW is best ;) ;) This is classic version, and 156 on FRENGERS is more modern version ;) ;)
@SemperBadBear I hope you realise one day of your forever existance that you are so wrong. I have no worries though because I know that thought is a lie, else ways the universe will collapse because it is just not an option for the universe itself what you just said
EEhhhrhrrrrr.. Not sure what to say, This song is a Lil' Wierd, and the other verson it Pure Epicness.. but.. i like wierd songs so... not sure what to say about this one, but i like it :D

the only place I've been able to find half the world is watching me is in google play music
I think it’s the better version. And yeah, Mew are absolutely amazing. Jonas is a pure genius.
Everything is in Spotify now
Standard on purevolume 2005
I was 8 years old when I found Mew. 17 years later still making absolute golden music! I’m so glad I had them growing up.
2023 still here. This version is amazing
The opening riff is amazing. These guys need more recognition for the originality and sick song writing skills. The drum parts and rhythms are all genius.
In my opinion Mew is definitely one of the top 10 Bands ever. Can´t believe, that lots of people havn´t even heard of them yet!
Brings back so many memories. Miss being able to find music like this
Mew is just amazing! The only band I never get tired of listening to.
I adore this song is both versions. Thank you so much for posting this one.

many thanks for you :)
When i was young, theres no tiktok playlist
and i'm so high right now. freakin awesome song
best version! thank you!
best version of 156, literally. I really regret 'time to break' bridge that they cut it off in Frengers :(
yay!! love this version!! THANK YOU!
Intro riff is so amazing!
This was my study music! Thank you Mew!
Mine too
Now this is the version I remember listening to!!! Funny thing, I just found my original copy with this version on it!!!! Joy!
First time listening to this group
I LOVE this version. Takes me baaaack
This is the first song I had ever heard by mew back in the day so this has a special place in my heart
I always thought this was the original more popular version. It my favorite versiona s its the one I heard most.
THANKYOU I couldn’t find this anywhere
still in my heart
I honestly like both versions of the song. This song is just magical!
Awesome quality! Thanks for the upload!
Una de mis canciones favoritas. 3
Beautiful.
love the picture, scary and lovely at the same time, much like the world
WHAT DID I JUST STUMBLED UPON? I've never listened to this version!! :O
you are not the only one my good sir
I've also only ever known this version, glad to find it on here although I also don't understand the silence after the song...
i love this version
well i'm glad you liked it :)
It is the best 156 version :D
This version is really interesting, the Frengers version flows a lot better, and the dynamic changes make it sound EPIC, but this version is still a great listen.

i like this song!!!
I feel like the picture is gonna move and jump over me in any moment :C
@reovan89 Nice work hombre, what camera you use?
@reovan89 I love it. It's terrifying, but great. Do they know they're on youtube? xD
i only know this version o.O there is another one???? :D
This version is lightyears better than the one on frengers in so many and so obvious ways it's redundant to list them here.
christ, forgot how good this version was, I will never understand why they changed it
@reovan89 really nice photo, digital or film?
@reovan89 What a brilliant pricture man.
@sallyheartjack it's acctually a friend of mine :) she let me use her picture for this one since i thought it fitted :) shes a real cameraloved girl :) why?
@DanielKohbad words of true wisdom! :)
omg i;'ve never heard this version before
GOOOOOD i know one more version! and i cant find it :(
I think I like the Frengers version better, but the chorus in this version is spectacular. And this one has horns in it and a female vocalist? Both versions are nice though. They're kinda like two different songs. :)
if you just serch on "mew 156" the band version will be the first video
Why is there like two extra minutes of silence to this video? I was expecting more
where'd you get the picture from
Where can I get the CD with this version on it? Anyone? Help a fan out, xD
half the world is watching me. The majority of the songs are early, original versions of songs that also appear on Frengers.
@sallyheartjack it's acctually a picture of a good friend of mine :) she agreed to let me use this pic in this video... shes really photogenic :) why? :)
awesome :)
156 i sthe distance or age of the universe...(remember lightyears is time and not distance anyways I love this song.
this is the one. all these other versions just confuse me...
@flamesdemon19 I wouldn't say that the song really is happy anyways.
I like both versions, depends on which mood I'm in :)
And yes, the picture is disturbing, she look so scared :(
I prefer the frengers one because this one lacks the brilliant "contrast" between vers/pre chorus and chorus that the frengers verison has. Drums are greath though.
@reovan89 because it's absolutely beautiful. the girl and the photo
Aaaaaand that blows :/ well try searching around for it. The sound is very different so you'll know you hit the right one right away.
i've always prefered this version, it's such an amazing song. it's so much better than the one they made for frengers! :) a shame they changed it, really.
I like how the top two rated comments are complete opposites in terms of the opinion.
@iamhouston as far as i am concerned, it is the same singer.
Pic unrelated?
Johan Wohlert is back again....:D
Yeah, i've added the other one to the description!
I prefer the "Frengers" version myself :)
which is of couuuuuuuurse not watchable in my country due to rights problems blahblah *rage* -.- but thank you ;)
Why Original tag -..- It should Half The World Is Watching Me version tagged or the picture are Half The World Is Watching Me cover -..-
All from MEW is best ;) ;)
This is classic version, and 156 on FRENGERS is more modern version ;) ;)
i diggs.
Never clicking on an unknown song posted on a friends facebook ever again. This song blows.
What the mean of the rules?? @.@
@NotOrdinaryInGames yeah it's just a friend of mine :)
Every 156 version is a "better" version!
i agree, Frengers version is cool but original its better in frengers "eigh flew over one was destroyed" rules !
@Youand1death VICTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!
The picture scares me.
mew got the number #151 - but this song is still fine :P
It's on Muzu.tv (:
@flamesdemon19 Nah just a pic of my friend.
The intro is so much win. The rest of the song is the shit too tho.
I rather that version!!
The only version there should have been.
should have called this track 1961
@GearfriedGeneral25 better than a black background

@SemperBadBear I hope you realise one day of your forever existance that you are so wrong. I have no worries though because I know that thought is a lie, else ways the universe will collapse because it is just not an option for the universe itself what you just said
the picture is kinda scary...
I actually prefer the Frengers version to be honest
It's amazing how much better the original is. The other one is utter dogshit
It's a picture of someone hot-boxin in the closet.
EEhhhrhrrrrr.. Not sure what to say, This song is a Lil' Wierd, and the other verson it Pure Epicness.. but.. i like wierd songs so... not sure what to say about this one, but i like it :D
"Time. To. Burn" I wish they kept that transition
i don't like your picture..
no butt
