INXS - The Gift (The Gift (7'' Single) (1993))
Written by: Michael Hutchence , Jon Farriss
Liner Notes:
"1993. One of the first songs written for our album "Full Moon, Dirty Hearts". Jon had written the music and Michael wrote the lyrics. An interesting lyric of Michaels, cryptic and ambiguous. An important track for the album. The video we shot for the song is still one of our best." -- Andrew Farriss
Video Clip Liner Notes:
"One of my personal favourite INXS videos ever. Another one of Richard's clever concepts partly shot in Melbourne and the rest in Sydney in May of 1993. I like the way the picture keeps exploding at you (the viewer) and breaking like glass, into pieces. Everything keeps coming at you, including us. We all had masks made of our faces that were painted blue ("blue-screen") so that we could change and remove our faces. I think shooting that particular scene, was the longest time I've ever kept still in my life. It was pretty ahead of its time technically as well. I think everyone in the band looked really strong image-wise and I was obviously going through my "religious leader phase". This video (and song) seems pretty relevant in our current world climate. " -- Kirk Pengilly
Lyrics:
Oh so fine
We were trying
Out of nowhere
Just in time
Let you take me
Deep down the river
Kiss the changes
That shape my life
Always
Left behind
All the tracks that
I could find
Do do do do do
All these scars are mine
I was thinking got the feeling
The gift you gave
Is gonna last forever
All the lies you find
All the truth you see
Rise and fall
But I know what's mine
Here we lie
Looking up to
Empty sky
And the promises we find
I'm not the first one
To ask why
I was thinking
Got the feeling
The gift you gave
Is gonna last forever
