The members of Mew started playing music together in 1995. Mew first achieved success in Denmark with their album Frengers, although their debut album, A Triumph for Man, had been met with much critical acclaim back in 1997. At the 2003 Danish Music Critics Award Show, Mew won the awards for "Album of the Year" and "Band of the Year." Until this point Mew was relatively unknown outside of Denmark; however after a European tour supporting R.E.M. Mew began to attract wider attention. After releasing the critically-acclaimed album And The Glass Handed Kites, featuring contributions from J Mascis from Dinosaur Jr, Mew has built on their success in Denmark as well as attracting attention from other countries in Europe and Asia. In the summer of 2006, they toured as the supporting act for Bloc Party in the U.S. as well as for Kasabian in the U.S. and Canada in the fall. After these tours, they returned to Denmark to work on new material.
On March 14th, 2007, Mew embarked on their first ever headlining tour in America with Oh No! Oh My! as the supporting act. Their fifth studio album, No More Stories/Are Told Today/I'm Sorry/They Washed Away//No More Stories/The World Is Grey/I'm Tired/Let's Wash Away, was released in August 25, 2009. They've also toured with Nine Inch Nails, Kings of Leon and Sigur Rós. In 2010, they released a greatest hits compilation called Eggs are Funny. They began performing new material in 2012 at Roskilde Festival, and released their sixth studio album, +- in 2015. Madsen left the band the same year, and the band began writing new material for their new album shortly after they concluded their tour. They released their seventh studio album, Visuals, after releasing a few singles in the months preceding its release. They embarked on tours for the album, as well as a tour celebrating the 15th anniversary of their breakthrough album Frengers in 2018.

Mew Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You helped me again to think of the
Unthinkable things
Made my arms hurt so bad I would
Happily forget
You're surprised at what you go through
As if no one ever told you
On your own feet
Not to wallow in heartache
I've done more than I would like to
But it's not all that I can do
You gotta get out of bed, into it
When even your bad luck runs out
Not to wallow in
Self-pitying pathetic dreams
You know what I mean
She worked hard to be his novice
And then broke into his office
With her clothes off
Her clothes off still
Not to wallow in heartache
Amor, settle for a small dart
If you can't find it in your heart
But there's a big noise from her chest
Let me do the talking
Now that I'm here
You'll steal all the attention anyway
Cause something about you
Compels me to feel
That a glued together vase
Is still a vase
The song "Mica" by Mew is an emotive piece that showcases a story of someone reflecting on their relationship with a person named Mica. The singer starts the song by saying that they wanted to remember Mica but it was too painful, and Mica helped them think of the "unthinkable things", which made their arms hurt so much that they wanted to forget. The singer then mentions that Mica is surprised at what they go through as if no one ever told them. The line "on your own feet, your own feet stand" could be interpreted as Mica telling the singer to stand on their own feet and not wallow in heartache.
The next lines mention that the singer has done more than they would like to, but that's not all they can do. They encourage the listener to "get out of bed, into it" and not to wallow in self-pitying pathetic dreams. The song then switches back to Mica and her relationship with someone who may have been her mentor. She worked hard to be his novice, but then broke into his office with her clothes off. The singer concludes with the line "Let me do the talking, now that I'm here, you'll steal all the attention anyway," suggesting a playful and flirtatious dynamic between Mica and the singer.

I wanted to remember my mica
You helped me again to think of the unthinkable things.
Made my arms hurt so bad I would happily forget.
You're surprised at what you go through.
As if no one ever told you.
(On your own feet, your own feet stand.
Not to wallow in heart ache).
I've done more than I would like to.
But it's not all that I can do.
(You gotta get out of bed, into it).
When even your bad luck runs out,
Not to wallow in self-pitying pathetic dreams.
You know what I mean.
She worked hard to be his novice and then broke into his office.
(With her clothes off, her clothes off still.
Not to wallow in heart ache)
Amor, settle for a small dart if you can't find it in your heart.
But there's a big noise from her chest.
Let me do the talking, now that I'm here.
You'll steal all the attention anyway.
'Cause something about you compels me to feel
That a glued together vase is still a vase.
(Not to wallow in heart ache)
