"She’s A Mystery I wrote, believe it or not, at a songwriter’s retreat. I was invited to the South of France at what was truly a castle in the middle of nowhere and it became one of the truly great writing. You would sit in a room with 2 other people and develop a song - not for you, not for them, for the wind, just to see what would happen, and you were forced to demo that song that day. So it was almost like a test, could you or could you not. I got up really early at dawn, picked up my guitar started playing and came up with this progression and that title and started writing it so that when we walked in there that day we knocked it out in ten minutes. The song turned out so well that it actually made the band record which is not like us to do anything like this."

If you're excited about a song you don't let it sit for 3 to 4 years. Kinda stands to reason it was 1998 right before the writing sessions for Crush (or during? Not sure when it started. Richie came to Rome while Jon was filming U-571 so that might predate most things)
