Title: You're Still a Mystery Post by: Amy B. on April 26, 2008, 08:35:53 AM I don't know anything about "You're Still a Mystery." Can someone enlighten me? When I first heard it, it sounded so familiar. Is it a rewrite/was it later rewritten? Or does it just sound familiar because it's one of those great songs that grab you right away?

Title: Re: You're Still a Mystery Post by: Jonas on April 26, 2008, 09:38:47 AM Im in LOVE with this song, and there was a thread not to long ago where a few people talked a lot about it (the session and the like)...they talked about this and 'soul searchin' so just do a search and Im sure you'll find it!

"This Isn't Love" was actually written circa 1980, although the lyrics did comes later.

Amen to that brother.....this is what could've been if the BB's were mature enough to put out a product as a cohesive unit.

Thanks, I found the thread. Fascinating read. Wish this song was released... by the BBs, a cover band, whatever. But that's true of a lot of BB/BW songs, of course.

"This Isn't Love" was actually written circa 1980, although the lyrics did comes later. Yep, I was aware of this, but then it would have been awkward to say "a bit from the song which eventually became 'This Isn't Love' was used in 'You're Still A Mystery' and then interpolated back into 'This Isn't Love' for release when 'You're Still A Mystery' went unfinished"! Title: Re: You're Still a Mystery Post by: punkinhead on April 27, 2008, 02:14:47 PM you're still a mystery always reminded me of a Pet Sounds meets Love You type song... especially the guitar sound (sounding like the instrumental pet sounds)
Title: Re: You're Still a Mystery Post by: TimeToGetAlone on April 28, 2008, 09:08:40 AM An awesome song! I found it so hard to believe what time period this came from on first listen. It's a shame this song hasn't seen an official release. And Brian's falsetto (even if there might have been possible touchups). The rest of the BBs on backing vocals is well noted too.
