"From my boat, I can see your house. And when the lights are on, I can watch you move"

Hi! I just wanted to let you guys know about a great band that I have been very into for years, Mew.
Mew has a very unique sound and I can never get sick of them, and they really have this creative side that I haven't even noticed much before!
In every song, there is some hidden message. They are almost impossible to figure out though.
My favorite Mew song has always been 156, but now it's Eight flew over, One was destroyed.
But, I will show you the music video that was made by Mew and finally I think I am starting to understand the little cartoon they put together. People are always trying to create some meaning behind this confusing music video, but I like to take bits and pieces and put a story together myself.



My blogspot might cut it off a bit, but if you are determined enough to view this than you will find a way I'm sure.
I'm not going to go into my description of what I think it's about, but I'd like to hear yours!
Mew is one of the top bands that I would love to see live- however, unfortunately they are from Europe. Meaning, they don't come here! Maybe they will, and I'll be a lucky lucky girl. Or maybe one day I'll be in Europe.... : )

hmmm. I doubt I'd be in Europe to see them perform, if I can barely make a plan for myself to go see a show only 4 or 5 hours away! Ugh. I am so useless sometimes, I swear.
But- I always have good intentions.

Anyways, please take some time and get to know Mew because they have many enticing songs and lyrics, oh not to mention the beautiful instruments they use! I just love foreign bands.
My favorite album they have is Frengers, and here are some recommended songs from that album. (actually, I'll probably list mostly ALL the songs on the album, but I'm putting them in the order that I like the best at least :] )
- Eight Flew Over, One was Destroyed
- Symmetry
- 156
- She Came home for Christmas
- SheSpider
- Snow Brigade
- Am I Wry? No
- Comforting sounds
- Her Voice is beyond her Years
- Behind the Drapes

Songs I like from other albums are:
- The zookeepers boy (From: And the Glass Handed Kites)
- Cartoons and Macrame Wounds (From: No More Stories..)
- Intermezzo 1 AND 2 (From: No More Stories..)

and I could go on, but... I'm sure you can find your own favorites, I gave you enough of mine!
In the mood for MORE foreign artists? Check out Sigur Ros, Bjork, FOTOS, Anathallo, Gobbledigook, ect.
I hope you all enjoy what you hear, and if you don't, then no worries.
And I hope you guys all have an amazing summer! So far, I've had some fun, but also it's been pretty stressful! Definitely not getting into that. Here is what I've been up to :











In a couple pictures you are probably wondering, what is up with the strawberries? Well, My friend Kristen and I decided to take a day to pick strawberries! We went to Dempsey Farms located in Beaufort, SC (Helena Island) for only 3.45 a bucket! And I'm talking about 20-30 extremely fresh picked strawberries juicy and sweet, and ready to eat. Thats a better deal than any supermarket can give you, I suggest that you start picking your OWN fruits and vegetables, it's a great hobby to get into for the summer. (and cheap!)

now, I am so tired and I am going to call it a night.

goodnight!
