Week Ninety-Two: Double Takes - Mazzy Star / INXS - "Disappear" - Among My Swan / X

This week, I will be covering songs, by different artists, that share the same title, better known by moi as "Double Takes". 
(+)(-)(+)(-)(+)(-)(+)(-)(+)(-)(+)(-)(+)(-)


Mazzy Star's song, "Disappear", is actually the tune that inspired "Double Takes" Week. I was not feeling so well this past weekend, and I love listening to Mazzy Star when I feel ill because the music and Hope Sandoval's voice are both so soothing and lullaby-like. When this particular song started up, it just popped into my mind how much I also like INXS's song called "Disappear". Then I became curious about how many other bands share the some song titles, and I went straight to my music library on iTunes to find the answer. There were so many that it was overwhelming, but I will tell you that it is generally song titles that are just one word that are most frequently shared. Again, I will refrain from saying too much about Mazzy Star, at this point in time, because I will definitely have a Mazzy Star Week in the near future. You may, however, remember me mentioning Hope Sandoval when I posted about "Sometimes Always" by The Jesus and Mary Chain.

And backing Mazzy Star will be none other than INXS. Their tune, "Disappear", is also one of my favorites by them, but I could not work it into INXS Week because, if you recall, I covered songs from the albums, Kick and Listen Like Thieves. So I am thrilled to be able to share this one with you today because if you are anything like me, you can never get enough of the deliciousness that is Michael Hutchence. It's so crazy to think that he was just a year older than I when he passed... he is missed dearly!!! After I had already posted about INXS, I found the coolest video for "Mystify" that I am going to include for you today too...



Just because 
You call my name 
I cannot hear 
It's not the same 
You close your eyes 
And knock me back 
All the things that I had to have 

And now you choose the thorny cave 
I can't believe what I had to say 
All the things you never see 
I'll never be what you want me to be 

Now I can't disappear 

Close your eyes and look at me 
I can't believe what I cannot see 
Everything is like you say 
Change your mind and you'll have to forgive 

And I can't disappear 
Now I can't 
Now I can't


Say I'm crying
I'm looking at what's on T.V.
Pain and suffering
And the struggle
To be free

It can't ever be denied and I
Never will ignore
But when I see you coming
I can take it all 

You're so fine
Lose my mind
And the world seems to disappear
All the problems
All the fears
And the world seems to disappear 

Say you're mine
And give yourself to the
Feelings that you know
I'm needing
All that you can give me
All the things
That you do so well
Words are healing
Sweet anticipation
Making spells
As the shadows close in
Fall across all our yesterdays 

You're so fine
Lose my mind
And the world seems to disappear
All the problems
All the fears
And the world seems to disappear 

You're so fine
Lose my mind
And the world seems to disappear
All the problems
All the fears
And the world seems to disappear 

Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear
Disappear 

Say if I could
Look into myself and reason
But I could never never see or
Make sense of the dealings
Turn around
Am I looking at salvation
Make me realise all that I am
You put the light inside this man 

You're so fine
Lose my mind
And the world seems to disappear
All the problems
All the fears
And the world seems to disappear 

You're so fine
Lose my mind
And the world seems to disappear
All the problems
All the fears
And the world seems to disappear 

You're so fine
Lose my mind
And the world seems to disappear
All the problems
All the fears
And the world seems to disappear 

You're so fine
Lose my mind
And the world seems to disappear
All the problems
All the fears
And the world seems to disappear
