I love this song so much! I really like how it bursts into the chorus on it, it's brilliant! Mew is a genius band, I really like some of musical solo's in the songs, their really creative like the one starting at 2:59 and ending at 3:15, and then it bursts to drums and the chorus starts again, and I LOVE Jonas' voice! You don't hear a voice like that very often, it's so high and beautiful :D anyone who hasn't heard Mew yet has no idea what their missing out on! AWESOME BAND!!
Great Vid, Great band. There's a whole world of 45+yrs-old Prog fans who have never heard of MEW. If they can break through to that audience, added to their younger fans, they will become HUGE. The next CD could do it for them.
I'm sure they're not nearly as big in the US as they are overseas but there's enough where they tour here...actually none of my friends knew about Mew until I showed them but everyone I showed them too really likes them so it's all kind of word-of-mouth with their fanbase here.
It's the same in New Zealand. I only heard about them when one of my classmates put 'And The Glass-Handed Kites' on during a study break. To this day it's the only CD I have ever immediately decided I want after listening to the whole thing. I'm looking forward to their next one with great interest :D
yeah, i heard about mew when i was flying on an airplane that had cable. they were on vh1 i think? awesome performace i wish i could remember which song they were performing. Im sure it was only with the 3 original members :) but yeah, they are very good. favorite band :)
Hehe, it's hard to miss, and it's super funny. I saw that at Roskilde Festival this year. It sure was amazing. One of the best things I've seen after Radiohead.
Then you know that they're singing the song without playback. I think it adds some charm to their songs that Jonas can fuck up sometimes, he puts so much effort and emotion into his singing that when it cracks it adds a bit of a chill down the spine.
this is a good live version. it sounds good. they sound ALOT better if they play like in a big space. because of the small echoe and all. and just the way it sounds. they should play rosemount teather in chicago!!
@codywoody10 Jonas has really been taking into account that people think he doesn't move a lot on stage in his newer shows :') Although I can't blame him. Singing in falsetto and jumping around would be an impossible feat xD
I totally agree with that that, I've listened to the album so many times but I love it more with each spin. They sound incredible live too, btw..first time I've tried looking at some live vids...I'm so upset at myself for missing them when they were in chicago about a year ago...
is it Care-line (which 90% of all the lyrics sites say it is) or is he singing Caroline- caroline.. which IMO wud make a hell of a lot more sense then care-line... since he then continues singing: Whats your stories all about.. so does a care-line have stories to tell? or does a woman called caroline? im confused and rather frustrated, I want it to be caroline! ^^
No offense but anyone would've thought you turned the video off straight after that minor flaw. His singing was almost identical to the album apart from that minor hickup. Mew are great live, including Jonas.
i know you will all hate me but i think they should have played a different song that night. There sat down for fucks sake play them something subtle and a moving. (im the biggest mew fan so dont hate)
damn, after watching them online in live performances ive got an impression: they are really a good band, but the vocalist just cant reach the high notes produced in studio... sorry for that. very sad.
@cruz1216 emo?? ni si quiera sabes diferencias un genero musical cuando lo escuchas?? es INDE , rcoka lternativo..y en especial esto es PROGESIVO.. si no checa como cambian los arreglos en el minuto 2:38 , ellos saben , componer MUSICA REAL. grandes letras (abstractas) , complejos ritmos y armonias....mejor vete a escucahr a CHAKIRA....no se poruqe escribiste en epañol,,Si sabes que nadie te va a entender...Do you speak english?
The Best band In The World.
40 million people who have never heard MEW,
will love them when they do.
I love this song so much! I really like how it bursts into the chorus on it, it's brilliant!

AWESOME BAND!!
I seldom weep when i hear music. But, this is so strong i just cant hold my tears back. Fuck...i'm 43 years old.
Great Vid, Great band.
There's a whole world of 45+yrs-old Prog fans who have never heard of MEW.
If they can break through to that audience,
added to their younger fans,
they will become HUGE.
The next CD could do it for them.
my fav Mew song!! black waves come, so fear me december!! we will not die, and i am happy again!!! hope to see you soon in australia!
His voice cracked and I still find the performance charming. Very real. Very emotional. There's just no smokes and mirrors with this band.
favorite band ever.. 'and the glass handed kites' is the most incredible pieces of music ever created..
I'm sure they're not nearly as big in the US as they are overseas but there's enough where they tour here...actually none of my friends knew about Mew until I showed them but everyone I showed them too really likes them so it's all kind of word-of-mouth with their fanbase here.
They're live even much better!
I love this band, this voice and this sounds!
thats so true- i love that he messes up every once in a while :]
it adds a... sort of 'real' or intense quality to their music.
It's the same in New Zealand. I only heard about them when one of my classmates put 'And The Glass-Handed Kites' on during a study break. To this day it's the only CD I have ever immediately decided I want after listening to the whole thing.
I'm looking forward to their next one with great interest :D
what a great album... simply fucking awesome...
this band makes the difference between "karaoke music" and ART.
yeah, i heard about mew when i was flying on an airplane that had cable. they were on vh1 i think? awesome performace i wish i could remember which song they were performing. Im sure it was only with the 3 original members :) but yeah, they are very good. favorite band :)
He made a minor vocal flaw and people are criticizing it? You are kidding right? Until they get up there and sing they shouldn't speak.
It's been said before but I'm saying it again, best band in the world.
Hehe, it's hard to miss, and it's super funny.
I saw that at Roskilde Festival this year. It sure was amazing. One of the best things I've seen after Radiohead.
@juanamanuela how can i when the answer to "whats one of ur fav bands, or, what r u listening to right now?" is MEW!!!!:)
OMFG, AMAZING PERFORMANCE. I love Silas
this song its really powerful!!
Then you know that they're singing the song without playback. I think it adds some charm to their songs that Jonas can fuck up sometimes, he puts so much effort and emotion into his singing that when it cracks it adds a bit of a chill down the spine.
THEY ARE JUST BEST!
that's great!
The number of people in the audience doesn´t matter for Jonas Bjerre - he never sees them anyway...
I love them anyway....
this is a good live version. it sounds good. they sound ALOT better if they play like in a big space. because of the small echoe and all. and just the way it sounds. they should play rosemount teather in chicago!!
@codywoody10 Jonas has really been taking into account that people think he doesn't move a lot on stage in his newer shows :') Although I can't blame him. Singing in falsetto and jumping around would be an impossible feat xD

@Trgr66 You're not alone. My eyes water everytime I listen to Comforting Sounds.
You obviously haven't seem them live. Just saw them live and they gave a flawless performance.
0:46
Laughed so much xD
Amazing song though.
This is a great song to run to. Well, it's a great song, period, but the vibe and energy of this tune really propel me on runs.
You may want to change the video title to run in accord with its real one.
Awesome(my standart comment).
i love mew a lot more than i like u2... but still, i can respect them.
they're kind of... legends ya know?
to each his own i guess.
hanya 1 kata...'greatttt!!"
@Circasurvive20 Yeah, i have never heard him do that before though
@juanamanuela totally!
is it Care-line (which 90% of all the lyrics sites say it is) or is he singing Caroline- caroline.. which IMO wud make a hell of a lot more sense then care-line...
since he then continues singing: Whats your stories all about.. so does a care-line have stories to tell? or does a woman called caroline?
im confused and rather frustrated, I want it to be caroline! ^^
really good stuff
it's kinda funny the singer doesn't really move around or get into it, but i guess that's their style!
I am frenger
@BlindedInChains21 Oh, so thats why he standing still all the time, with closed eyes?;D
@juanamanuela hahaha i like that idea!
Apocalypse? Apocalypso.
he can, just had a little problem at the first chorus on this one i guess..
see the other performances they execute everything so good
haha he's really working for those high notes.
They were in Chicago? I didn't know people know them in USA...
@juanamanuela The secret is out ..... well right here it is HA HA HA
HAHAHAHA
Silas FTW!
o_O Jonas? He certainly can. Which live videos are you watching? xD
i liked that he made a vocal mistake, at least now i know he is human :P
Some of us don't know how to move, that's not a big deal.
@juanamanuela THE best
0:46 What aaAAAAre your stooories all about...
@Circasurvive20 where is the mistake?
0:47
hhaa his voice bursts some times :p
No offense but anyone would've thought you turned the video off straight after that minor flaw.
His singing was almost identical to the album apart from that minor hickup.
Mew are great live, including Jonas.
Teleaster 72 Custom
i know you will all hate me but i think they should have played a different song that night. There sat down for fucks sake play them something subtle and a moving. (im the biggest mew fan so dont hate)
no moving please!.. they're shoegazers. The Cure, The Pixies, Slowdive, Ride .. you see?
156?!?! coincidence??? hahha dont mind my stupid talking
Where exactly is that vocal mistake? lol
good band,at last mew are trying to move rock music forward by doing things differently,like tmv,cardiacs,king crimson etc
Oh, right. Yeah, he turns out to be human after all :-)
hes a shoegazer lol
wow i didnt no lifting your neck could do that, but yeah more moving would be nice
@codywoody10 he has a problem..his way to sing is shoegazing.. that's true he can't dance or move or see the people.
damn, after watching them online in live performances ive got an impression: they are really a good band, but the vocalist just cant reach the high notes produced in studio... sorry for that. very sad.
yeah jonas needs singing lessons actually. he has a great, disciplined voice. but it cracked because he lifted his neck.
dude friggin rediculous how good this is, but the singer needs learn how to move
I love Mew, but i think they are a bit lazy in their performens ?
@cruz1216 emo?? ni si quiera sabes diferencias un genero musical cuando lo escuchas??
es INDE , rcoka lternativo..y en especial esto es PROGESIVO..
si no checa como cambian los arreglos en el minuto 2:38 , ellos saben , componer MUSICA REAL. grandes letras (abstractas) , complejos ritmos y armonias....mejor vete a escucahr a CHAKIRA....no se poruqe escribiste en epañol,,Si sabes que nadie te va a entender...Do you speak english?
haha not rly
