This video is simply a slideshow of Mew photos to "New Terrain" combined with "Nervous" (which is New Terrain reversed). It's nice to hear the two songs played in this order, back to back. Mew's new album "No More Stories" is released in the United States on August 25th, 2009.

Note: I tried mixing the two songs together but the result wasn't pleasant. I doubt that the songs were meant to be played together. However, playing New Terrain before Nervous has a seamless transition between the two with the synthesizer/keyboard that is playing.

Lyrics below.

"New Terrain":

Soft sheets

Whats this about?

Inside your mahogany cyprus

As long as were me and you

We should not lose terrain

Wild and young, we got seasick

On your seven

Get off cheap

That sits with her

And the warmth of it splatters

We all can wring her neck

First we gain new terrain

When were young, we get seasick

On your seven

Were upset, real tush

Ooh, why I sneeze like no-one

Like most, you snip soft sheets

Whats this about?

Inside your mahogany cyprus

As long as were me and you

We should not lose terrain

Wild and young, we got seasick

On your seven soft sheets

"Nervous":

Nervous, I know

And I saw you running

It seems like everywhere you go

To the wooden floors of my house

They're out to get you

In a way i couldn't see you

And then you regret

And they're not safe buildings

Should have stayed at home in bed

When the walls are out of focus

Nervous instead

And I wish that I could save you

Each time

There are no words for how clever and beautiful this is. I still can't get over this, two songs in one. This is art, man. I've got nothing against a decent guitar riff paired with simple vocals, but this is music to its highest capacity. If only more artists realized how much potential there is in the world of music!

Actually, its more to it than that. The songs feature both reversed and chronologic lyrics played both ways.... This is incredible hard to do ;-) Also, try doing this with music instruments ! No way around it man, this is art...

Mew is the most incredible band in Denmark! I'am so proud to be from the same country as them!

@InsomniumX Actually no, they just matched the timing so that all the words cover the other reversed lyrics in a similar manner. It's a technique that has been used in other media as well - usually to embed hidden messages. There are two reasons it works: 1. When the wave form of a voice is reversed it becomes different in sound (音色) such that we would distinguish it as a different voice. 2. Our minds are trained to pick out distinguishable words from background noise.

@Lililili91 There ARE NO lyrics to New Terrain. It´s just what they thought the Nervous lyrics sound like when reversed.

@Lililili91 That's probably because they wrote Nervous first, and then reversed the vocals.

I actually think Nervous makes a lot more sense than New Terrain. To me, the lyrics seem clearer and more put together...

I don't know about you, but I learn the lyrics with just listening to the songs over and over again, before I know it, I can sing the song whenever it is played. As for this song, it's just so enchanting and mysterious at the same time. I really love the lyrics aswell. Maybe even more for Nervous than New Terrain. But all in all, really amazing song/songs. :)

Except if he were crazy, it'd be a good crazy.

4 years in between albums gives a band a lot of time to kill. As for Rich Costey...he might be crazy, he might not be. We'll leave his credentials with Muse and The Mars Volta to be the judge of that.
