This is still one of my all-time favorite songs. The instruments, Sarah McLachlan's voice, and those oddly cryptic lyrics all make for a masterpiece I never get tired of. This song came out when I came of age in the late 90s, so I remember it playing on the radio and on TV a lot at the time, and therefore, maybe that's why I'm partial to it, but I'm convinced that it's just a beautiful song. You're so beautiful.
I noticed she also mentioned the name of our LORD & SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST and even the name of GOD. I don't know if the God she's mentioning in this song is the one & only true GOD introduced by the Holy Scriptures, which was written in John 17:1-3 (New King James Version)😇😇😇🙏🙏🙏📖📖📖
I was 3 years old when this song came out on the radio- at 30 today I really enjoy this song. ❤I miss the decade where emotions were still honest and expressed wholesomely
This song makes me think about just playing video games at my house by myself when I was a kid. That’s probably what I was doing at the time when this song came out. Also it makes me remember my parents who passed away since then RIP.
@@ishmaelkalim9405 It's like using and deeply understanding metaphors, analogies and similes...you'd actually have to be a literature / poetry deep minded individual to really appreciate, have love for and or understand thoroughly the essence and meaning of it all. Life goes on,...you're good tho! 😆
Love the sound and the melody. It's also an insight into how women love the tension a man creates in a woman - in this case the mystery - even though he is in actuality not really anything to be proud of. She can't let go of the tension. it's a turn on. But if she realized that's all it is, she'd move on to something better.
Oh wow !!! You deserve an award I have been trying to figure out what this damn song and it's meeting was for over two decades and you probably gave, no you gave the most accurate depiction in my opinion. You have taken a weight off my shoulders because this is one of my favorite songs growing up and I was so worried it was sacrilegious or some kind of blasphemous song that I'm jamming while Christians probably are thinking I'm worth being seen when I pull up into the church parking lot lol
My Father was into Wicca and this describes him so much, he wore an ankh (which I now wear) and wore his sandles in the snow. I lost him on June 22,2022. I miss you Dad, and you did know when the vampires roamed.....
and thank you for reminding us that ....oh never mind. OK I'll say it. It's what I've learned to never do again.....thanks for reminding us to stay away from wearing sandals in the snow. There, I've said it! I feel much better now. GREAT SONG!!!!
For those wondering, the musicians are lead vocalist-electric guitarist-acoustic guitarist Sarah McLachlan, backing vocalist Pierre Marchand, additional electric guitarist Michel Pepin, bassist Brian Minato, and drummer Ashwin Sood.
Now reading the lyrics this song so exquisitely reflects those (my wife) who can never bring themselves to be candid, genuine for fear (I suppose) of their partner (husband) not wanting to talk, discuss, understand, negotiate even on things that might be deal killers. OMG, there is always a way through, around, over, under .... There must be willingness to risk. The alternative is deeper mysteries and never being known. ... What a sad song.
Sarah McLaughlin; she was singing of the night long before Twilight and the vampire era. I remember hearing this song as a child on the radio and having a smile first time I knew this song had fucking in the song and the song didn’t have the explicit label on it. Well done Sarah, well done
I am hooked to this song.. stuck in my head..my message tone... for a guy people thing is weird for Me...I don't give a shit....I like this song...thumbs up 👍
Maybe they think it's weird because this song is about a narcissist. I mean, it would be kind of ironic if your friends perceived you as being a narcissist and here you go and make it your message tone, without even "getting it," lol.
+prettyhatemachine well another is that this song stuck in my head haha...should be songs my mum listening to..haha.anyway i got what this song means..thanks for replying...well finally my curiosity is gone...Sarah mclachlan song have hidden meaning sounds fun..
naresh naresh Btw, I don't think it's "weird" for a guy to like this, or any of her songs for that matter. Not weird at all. Sarah McLachlan's music draws in ppl from all walks of life...☺
+prettyhatemachine finally I found the answer I am happy...I am hearing the right song thanks..I am looking forward for more 90s genre..like the Corrs...and more..
naresh naresh ... What's weird is those who consider deep, faithful, complex people. "WEIRD". Those who only think as deep as their envy allows them to.. Consider that! Love L
I figured it was, A psychopath is a narcissistic sociopath, and stay away from them!!! There is someone I know who is a psychopath and a few lyrics reminded me of this person.
Lola Stardust Well, I know sociopaths are compared to narcissists but they're also are compared to psychopaths so actually, your first comment def applies. My bad, lol.
The ultimate crush-on-a-goth-boy lovesong (or at least that's how I always interpreted it). This will never age - unlike those of us who remember it new, unfortunately. 😂
This song is so beautifully enchanting to the ears and mind because this song is about a narcissistic psychopath that she is attracted to but she can't get away from him when she says beautiful screwed up man it's true that psychopaths are evil and the closest thing to vampires because they suck the energy out of you
Listening to this song on a rainy day or cloudy day gets me so excited. I roll one and start thinking about my past girlfriends I love this song🤘😎🤘 I wished she could've made the Rock fest 97 at Texas Motor Speedway
Ok i may be crazy, but i swear i heard instead of "You strut your rasta wear," I heard "You stretch your ass to wear," lmao. I heard this song when i was 5 because my parents have the album. 8 years later, it still hits different, even in 2021. good song.
I realised this song is about men like me, but it's done in an understanding way. Quite moving, really. Makes me understand how the women in my life see me.
THESE ,OHHHHH UA-cam , ARE DEFINITIONS ON LIFE BY MAN"S INTERPRETATIONS ON LIFE WHEN LIFE ALONG IS GOD AT WORK. ONLY IN THE WORD CAN WE DEFINE LIFE AS IT TRULY IS......NOT ACCORDING TO SINGERS THAT CHANGE WITH THE WINDS OF TIME AS AREOSMITH HAS. AND MANY BREAK UP BECAUSE THE TIMES HAVE CHANGED AND NO MAN IS BUYING THEIR ALBUMS ANYMORE; BUT, WHAT WILL THE ENDTIMES BRING ...? A CHANGE OF HEART.

I know it's like a therapy it takes me to a beautiful universe everytime 😁

One of the greatest songs ever.
This song is just mystical when you're driving with the full moon in the sky.
I swear I miss music like this; just one of the thousands of reasons why I miss the 90s too.
I miss it, too! It was “alternative”music; jumbled styles but so varied & amazing . Best music ever to me
One of the most beautifully crafted songs I have ever known
Me Too
Ew
If I’ll write a song, I want her to sing 💕 the tone, melody of her music is amazing! Gods talent
Her Grammy for this was well deserved, tbh. There's just that certain aura on her singing that gave this the edge over Mariah, Jewel, etc. that year.
It was the best, the rest I don't even listen too 😊
This song never ceases to impress me
This song is pure magic.
This is the song that brought me and my Mom a little closer...
Her voice is so beautiful. I still love this song so many decades later.
I was 3 years old when this song came out on the radio- at 30 today I really enjoy this song. ❤I miss the decade where emotions were still honest and expressed wholesomely
This song has very enchanting lyrics.
And the music oh my god
You mean it's witch craft?
Ya think? Jk ur so right 😝❤️

This is my favorite song from Sarah McLachlan, and when this song plays on the radio it's awesome.

"Can you look out the window, without your shadow getting in the way?"
Brilliant lyric
What does this line actually mean?
@@ishmaelkalim9405 Wow, you're serious ???

One of the greatest songs ever!
Sarah McLachlan is a talented woman with a beautiful voice & writes lovely songs!
Jack Parr .. I used to sing this one.. with Jack Dobbins. Great memories..
I'm miss 90s
so much ....❤
Agreed, full heartedly ❤🙏❤
90's for eternity = Heaven
.....a cross before Jesus came...wow... Sarah's awesome
This song was my earworm of the day...talk about melancholy moods and ambiguous memories...outstanding Canadian artist.
Love the sound and the melody. It's also an insight into how women love the tension a man creates in a woman - in this case the mystery - even though he is in actuality not really anything to be proud of.

Yeah I can definately relate to what you get out of this song. I have been there a few times
I just now read your comment from 9 years ago

This song is me. It makes me feel so different inside. When I hear it it doesn't make me feel like myself. I feel like a different person.
this album is the best of all her works, I think.
this is such a beautiful album. one of the kind that I can listen to over and over again:)
I was a teenager when I first heard this song, it will forever be on my top 5!!!!
remember my childhood .times. 90s :)
My God, these lyrics are just perfect and mindblowing. Sarah, you are a beautiful and pure genius talent.
This song came along during a very strange time in my life.
thank u sarah, thank u for reminding us that cuss words show more emotion when theyre not used in every sentence.
and thank you for reminding us that ....oh never mind. OK I'll say it. It's what I've learned to never do again.....thanks for reminding us to stay away from wearing sandals in the snow. There, I've said it! I feel much better now. GREAT SONG!!!!
aaaahhh... takes me back to days gone by. Still building a mystery.
So beautiful
I remember my higschool days..oh 90's such a happy years for me...to be young again..
Beautiful song from a beautiful album. This album is a masterpiece.
+undeadpresident ~ Yep. Got it.

The voice of an angel ♥️♥️♥️
The song is the mystery. It's meaning speaks to each one. IMO
Love this song it's slipping into a nice warm bath after a long day
So beautifully Sung By an Amazing Singer!
Pumping this in 2024 🎶 🎵 🔥
Just rediscovered Sarah, she is excellent!
This woman is pure class.
very underrated artist. I have often wondered why she wasn't more successful?-
She was a pretty big deal for a while. She did just kind of fade away though.
because the illuminati took away her golden key. Madonna also had something sinister to do with it.
Beautiful. I’m a man and it resonates. Should have way more views
love the reverse delay on the guitar
Yes Sarah. Awesome!
just love her voice.

Interesting to note...she clearly found it fascinating when it was new...then they got divorced later
Guess there was no mystery under the BS, huh
sarah mclachlan is my guily pleasure
***** You ladies are funny. Soooo mysterious

Love her music sweet soul inside & out. Beautiful voice, Angelic :)
I always listen to this song when after I listen Billy Joel's "Always a Woman". Can you imagine those two people in these songs together?
yes it would be amazing. Then they would get married. But later they'd probably get a divorce.
Kudos on this video!!! It's well put together!!!
They are all perfect thankyou...wow
Wow listened to the lyrics today and I’m blown away.
This song is soooo amazingly haunting.
I'm setting up my razor wire shrine...and there's no mystery about it.
"Yet so careful, when I'm in your arms".
This is amazing! 😍😍
The answer to the first half of this song is yes. Two the 2nd it's Know. The path of the those seeking is not a joke. =)~ TS
So beautiful. So beautiful.
One of my favourites
Very cool.!!
Picklin' A Mystery.
You come out at night
That's when the energy comes
And the dark sides light
And the vampires roooaaam
Beautiful song!
Mysterious & magical theme, very gothic even
perfect song for the psychopath in your life!
Lola Stardust It's about a Narcissist, not a "psychopath." Lol

prettyhatemachine haha... they are all a waste of space no matter how you look at them. Just do me a favor and stay as far away from them as possible!
Lola Stardust Lol, I agree.
The ultimate crush-on-a-goth-boy lovesong (or at least that's how I always interpreted it). This will never age - unlike those of us who remember it new, unfortunately. 😂
The band is awesome
Reminds me of high school. Class of 2000
This is what millennials generations needed to heard. Not Bieber, bebe rexha or nicki minaj.
Older millennials DO listen to music like this. Older millennials are in their early forties now. Please do some research for the love of God
No they don't music is so dangerous especially if you aren't aware of the energy associated with it
2;16 gets me everytime takes me far away thank you
Hi sounds so good I love it what a song
1998 what a era! Goodtimes
This song is so beautifully enchanting to the ears and mind because this song is about a narcissistic psychopath that she is attracted to but she can't get away from him when she says beautiful screwed up man it's true that psychopaths are evil and the closest thing to vampires because they suck the energy out of you
Really nice job. I really enjoyed the visuals.
This dude sounds exhausting. Love the song though.
thanks for using this eye-bending font. i never knew you could pull a nuscle in your eye. until now.
thanks for having a sense of humor and saying something so off the wall it actually made me think about it and then start giggling
I remember when this song came out in October of 1998, i was six, and thought this song was about a vampire.
Vampiric indeed👍🏽
Listening to this song on a rainy day or cloudy day gets me so excited. I roll one and start thinking about my past girlfriends I love this song🤘😎🤘
I wished she could've made the Rock fest 97 at Texas Motor Speedway
Building a mistery is a nice melody that makes me remind so many quite events in my life....
Saludos Loreto-Peru
im here Bcuz of my dad he used to play this song on the radio
This song is so good....and exciting
Saludos Loreto-Peru
The life and times seen through cable t.v.and actions of Greg Loew written by Sarah McLachlan Thank you Sarah
it's always impressive when someone like you, who actually knew Sara, can express their gratitude to her and people like me can actually read it!
Don't tell me you didn't listen to this in your car.
~ The dark side's light.
To my wife.....please try to remember. The 3 of us miss you desperately.
I love it! I love her voice*
3 masters ? that is pretty incredible!!!
No one will ever understand how badly I want this to be my unofficial theme song
This can be arranged. For a slight fee, of course.
i really like the words to the song i enjoy alot.
Reminds me of childhood. In the 90's. Driving somewhere in the car. Down to the lake.
For some reason, I'm crying as I listen to this... I don't know why...
I did the same after not hearing for years
I love you bisshhh
Ok i may be crazy, but i swear i heard instead of "You strut your rasta wear," I heard "You stretch your ass to wear," lmao. I heard this song when i was 5 because my parents have the album. 8 years later, it still hits different, even in 2021. good song.
