One Among the Living is the fourth studio album by the Canadian rock band Mystery.[2] Prior to recording this album Patrick Bourque had been replaced by François Fournier, Benoît Dupuis rejoined the band as keyboardist after a 12-year absence, and Dean Baldwin joined as a second guitarist.
Songs
The "Through Different Eyes" suite deals with mourning. In the suite, two people, one living and one deceased, feel as though they have lost the other person forever, but in fact are still together, albeit in different places.[3]
As with other Mystery songs, "One Among the Living" and "Between Love and Hate" were two songs that had been written years prior, with "One Among the Living" being written around the time of Destiny?.[4]
Title
Michel St-Père described the meaning of the title of the album as being that no matter what one's profession is, everyone plays an equally important part in what constitutes life.[3]
