Billboard Top 100 - 1997, #63 
What can you say about Sarah McLachlan? That beautiful voice, the haunting melody...
Building A Mystery might be one of the most melodic, pleasant-sounding slams you'll ever hear. She's clearly underwhelmed by her lover's phony persona, calling him out for trying to make himself look all dark and mysterious, when it's all pretty ridiculous. Still, she's drawn to this "beautiful, f**ked up man," despite the overblown facade. And she hates that she can't really know him ("so careful, when you hold me in your arms...")
The music feels like a river winding it's way through a canyon: not too slow, not too fast. And now, I'll stop trying to convince you - just enjoy.
