“Comforting Sounds” is one of Mew´s most recognizable songs and often used as the closing song at their concerts. It is the final track on Half the World is Watching Me, Frengers, the compilation album Eggs Are Funny, and Mew With Copenhagen Philharmonic, a live album from a performance with the Cop...
[Verse 1]
I don't feel alright in spite of these comforting sounds you make
I don't feel alright because you make promises that you break
Into your house, why don't we share our solitude?
Nothing is pure anymore but solitude
[Verse 2]
It's hard to make sense, feels as if I'm sensing you through a lens
If someone else comes, I'll just sit here listening to the drums
Previously I never called it solitude
[Verse 3]
And probably you know all the dirty shows I've put on
Blunted and exhausted like anyone
Honestly I tried to avoid it, honestly
Back when we were kids, we would always know when to stop
And now all the good kids are messing up
Nobody has gained or accomplished anything
