Video

The Video was a performance-style video showing the writers of the song, Hutchence and Farriss, being filmed in black and white, seemingly 'composing' the song in the studio on a piano. The video then cuts over to the band recording and then performing the track to a live audience.


Mellow Trax Remix

German DJ Mellow Trax released a remixed version of "Mystify" across Europe in 2003.
