I think You and I part 1 shouldve been on TITN instead of part 2. A much better song in my opinion.

I dont mind it. It's a bit Vanilla for my tastes, I'm more of an Everywhere and Isnt it midnight guy from TITN.

there's something about mystified that really grabs me.... it was my least fav or the CM/LB collaborations at first... but i love it now

To me, it sounds like "Safe Harbour" with lyrics. It really has a "Bob Welch" feel to it.

I agree that Everywhere and IIM are superior, but Mystified is just a nice, soft spot on the album.

Good point.

Funny but I have always preferred Mystified over Everywhere and Little Lies. It's mellow, and Christine sounds awfully sweet and sexy on her vocal. Mystified and Isn't It Midnight are my 2 favorite Christine songs on TITN.

I enjoy "Mystified" as a mellow, sweet song. I liked all the LB/CM collaborations on TITN.

I like it these days. Used to, I usually skipped it.

Of course, the sonic signature in "Mystified" is its being built largely on the pentatonic scale.

It's that employment of the pentatonic & other exotic scales -- found also in "Little Lies," "Seven Wonders," "Caroline," "Tango in the Night" & "When I See You Again" -- that creates such active musical integration throughout the album, linking motifs, tracks & themes into a unified whole. This integration is, to me, largely the foundation of the success of "Tango."
