I do like this song. It might not have grabbed me first listen but now after 8 years it is one that I still like off crush. I think I would be happy to hear this live, if Jon likes playing it then play it instead of 'Complicated' or 'I got the girl' etc.

My fav's off crush:

It's my life
Two story town
Just older
Next 100 years
Mystery train
One wild night
Neurotica

The album does have some good tracks but somehow its a bit messy IMO, like it doesn't quite know what it wants to be?

It's a yay by the way.

I've never been a big fan of this track. It's certainly one of the weaker songs on Crush for me. I see what the songs about, but I can't really relate to it, and its a song that I would need to relate to lyrically to get anything out of.

I have always really liked it, good lyrics especially.

I like it! I also attended the show in gothenburg and like Emil said it killed the crowd. But I would be pleased to hear it again.

One of my favourite tracks off of Crush and I think it's truely underrated. I was ecstatic when they played it at the first gig I went to.

Yay for me. I always thought this is a good song. Poppy, but good.
She's A Mystery is atrocious, and so is Two Story Town.

I liked it back when I bought Crush, I love it now.
Great great great song

Yay ..... My favorite track on Crush - and probably in my top 10, maybe even top 5 Bon Jovi songs of all time. Loved it from my first listen.

No way, along with she's a mystery two of the weakest tracks of the album.

Neurotica and Garageland would have made Crush a much better album.

For a long time I was in the camp that lumped it and She's A Mystery into a "shit song" category, probably simply because they didn't rock or weren't power ballads. Now that I've learned to appreciate a wider range of music, they've both grown on me somewhat. Mystery Train is, as people have said, a well crafted song with lyrics and melody that compliment each other well. It's gentle, but still manages to keep the pace up enough to keep the attention. I can also appreciate She's A Mystery more too, it does actually have some nice guitar and has something of a relaxed, dreamlike quality to it.

Although neither of them are probably among my favourite Crush songs (Mystery Train is probably the high end of the middle, and She's A Mystery probably being somewhere towards the bottom) they're at least more interesting than a lot of songs on there.

So basically I'd probably give Mystery Train a high 3 or low 4 out of 5 .... does that count as a yay?
