I Mew sono fondamentalmente un gruppo pop, anche se molto atipico. Le loro canzoni, dalle architetture spesso molto complesse, riescono comunque a risultare orecchiabili. con ‘Frengers‘ nel 2003 vincono il premio della critica danese come miglior disco dell’anno e partono in tour come gruppo spalla dei REM. Nel 2005 esce “And The Glass Handed Kites“, la seconda opera piacque talmente tanto agli U2 che li definirono i propri futuri eredi della scena pop.
“No More Stories…” è il loro quinto album e le atmosfere che si respirano sono decisamente meno cupe, oserei dire solari e sognanti (qualcuno ha detto dream-pop?), rispetto ai precedenti dischi. “Introducing Palace Players” è il primo singolo estratto di cui potete godervi il video qui di seguito.

MEW testo video canzone lyrics
In which we made sure no one got hurt.
What is it that you do?
You gotta get back up yourself.
We know so much.
So much we do.
No answer.
In a word,
You were told
That it’d fix your shaky home.
And what got made
Was broken, too.
Just a field with you,
Switching seats with you,
Tears us apart.
I don’t want it to.
Some peculiar fix,
The two of us.
Counting us out,
I don’t want it to.
Overnight, turned all grey.
What is it that you do?
You gotta get back up yourself.
We know so much,
So much we do.
No answer.
In a word
You were told,
That it’d fix your shaky home.
And what got made
Was broken, too.
Just a field with you,
Switching seats with you,
Tears us apart.
I don’t want it to.
Some peculiar fix,
The two of us.
Counting us out,
I don’t want it to.
Just a creed with you,
Switching seats with you
Tears us apart.
I don’t want it to.
What are we going to do?
I’d really like it if you
Turn out the lights as we planned.
It’s gonna hurt when we land.
I don’t want it to.
Why did you go?
Lots of different reasons,
So many, you can’t even count.
You think it’s right,
Jumping off the see-saw.
Or did you just want it to be?
Why did you go?
Lots of different reasons,
So many, you can’t even count.
You think it’s right,
Jumping off the see-saw.
Or did you just want it to be?
