In case you don't know, INXS is an Australian rock band, originally formed as The Farriss Brothers in Sydney in 1977. Their music, which was initially influenced by New Wave, ska and pop elements, reached international popularity with a series of hit recordings in the late 1980s. Tragically, in 1997 lead vocalist Michael Hutchence was found dead in his hotel room when the band was on a world tour. According to the official version, he committed suicide but others suggested that his death may have been accidental, resulting from autoerotic asphyxiation. Anyway, the song you're about to listen to is the fifth single from the band's best-selling album Kick, released back in 1987. I don't know how many times I listened to it as a teenager but I remember hearing it on the radio on the very day when I fell in love for the first time in my life.

Mystify
All veils and misty
Streets of blue
Almond looks
That chill devine
Some silken moment
Goes on forever
And we're leaving
Broken hearts behind
Mystify, mystify me
Mystify, mystify me
I need perfection
Some twisted selection
That tangles me
To keep me alive
In all that exists
Well, none has your beauty
I see your face
and I will survive
Mystify, mystify me
Mystify, mystify me
Eternally wild with the power
To make every moment come alive
All those stars that shine upon you
Will kiss you every night
All veils and misty
Streets of blue
Almond looks
That chill devine
Some silken moment
Goes on forever
And we're leaving
Yeah we're leaving broken hearts behind
Mystify, mystify me
Mystify, mystify me
You're eternally wild with the power
To make every moment come alive
All those stars that shine upon you
And they'll kiss you every night
