The last time Mew released this song (December 16th 2002, fact fans), the reviewer got kicked off DiS for quoting the press release off of the band’s website rather than actually writing anything of originality.
I wonder if Mew can kick themselves out of their own band for not writing anything of originality? As nice as ‘She Came Home For Christmas’ is, it’s simply a typical scando-indie song with a nicely-arranged orchestral add-on. And there’s bugger all relation to Chrstmas in this song, aside from the fact that it would probably be really rather pleasant to snog a very pretty person whilst listening to this. AND DID YOU KNOW... that this is the fourth time that Mew have released this song? FACT! DID YOU KNOW… that this song was knocking round Denmark FIVE CHRISTMAS’S AGO? FACT! GIVE IT UP, MEW, IT’LL NEVER BE A HIT.
Sheesh.
Bah humbug.

Mew - She Came Home For Christmas
Bah humbug indeed!
She Came Home is one of my fave singles of the year (yes, again) and no fucker's heard it except people who read The Fly and Rock Sound and sit listening to XFM all day. And/or buy things off the back of reviews.
Anyway, Muse released Muscle Museum at least 13 times, and this is only the second time around for Mew in our foul empire. Give the blighters a break. I'm sure The Hives et al would be just as much to blame on the four-year-old theory, and at least this is a re-recording of the original.
Bleh!

Indeed... I only heard the song for the first time last week.....

Hold on, let's not blame Mew for Epic's doings, especially as it was a one-track limited edition last Christmas which the band suggested be sold at £1.99 and HMV among others promptly priced £3.99. Plus, look on the bright side at all the support it's suddenly earning the band from people who don't know Frengers even exists - Radio 1 daytime play, 4 Music support... it's been played on the bloody kiddy Flaunt channel!

Ok, these are my views:
It's a fantastic song. The band are releasing a DVD single, which includes an 8 minute documentary. To be applauded - and great for the fans.
The song was knocking around in Denmark 6 years ago - not 5. Also, it's only been released twice in the UK - last year was only a limited released. Mark & Lard made it their record of the week - single-handedly justifying the decision to put the song out again, in my eyes. No fucker has heard of Mew. Maybe someone will have now. Judging by their performance at the ULU last night - this band have so much to offer. Let's not push them away just yet - they only played their first UK headline show this week.

Mew are easily one of the finest bands to come out of europe in it's entirety in ages. I first heard them about a year and a half ago and thought they were amazing. Originality is their best quality. No one, and i mean no one in the current indie-scandy-rock scene can even dream of making some of the beautiful songs these guys have.
Frengers is a masterpiece and should be blasted from every rock loving persons speakers every now and then. And who cares if they re-released it. It's an amazing song, probably my favourte (bar "Comforting Sounds", which i must say is breathtaking) and deserves some damn respect. I'm yet to see them live, but my brother has and he said they were mind-blowingly good.
And it's about time they got some recognition. Ya damn fool.

Mew deserve to be Christmas number 1 not only this year, but next year, last year and 5 years ago. She Came Home for Christmas is a fantastic song, and if it helps the band get a little more success and publicity, then good for them. Frengers is such a great album, that it got virtually no recognition is a disgrace.... if this single helps bring it into the eyes of the (relative) masses, then its existence in another year's set of christmas singles has been more than justified.

i seem to definatly remember buying it for 99p from hmv last year. not 3.99. there was even an article on here ssaying it would be that much. anyway, mew are great, and absolutly amazing live

Umm...saw Mew live supporting Martin Grech, loved the music and the video wall, but the vocals were appalling, thought they spoilt the whole thing
Re: Mew - She Came Home For Christmas
Err... you went to see Martin Grech and you think MEW's vocals are appalling????!!
Mew - She Came Home For Christmas
...excuse me!
I know this is all about Mew but I defy anyone to knock Mr Grech voice, which does musical miracles. Go see him on the accoustic shows in 04. The metro club before christmas left me speechless, he was incredible!
