The lyric appears to touch on the subject of war and AIDS, with the author questioning the promises made while looking at an "empty sky". The song ends with the strained and repeated verse:
Video
The music video for "The Gift" dramatises issues ranging from war and terrorism to famine and pollution with the band appearing to crash through the TV screen in anger. The video was banned by MTV, formerly INXS's greatest ally, owing to its use of Holocaust and Gulf War footage.
In an interview with the director and long-term collaborator, Richard Lowenstein; "The video uses harrowing visuals in order to portray man's ability to create havoc and destruction. The message behind the video is to show how as viewers, we have become accepting of, and increasingly apathetic to images of gross human suffering and violence."
The Red Pony is an episodic novella written by American writer John Steinbeck in 1933. The first three chapters were published in magazines from 1933–1936, and the full book was published in 1937 by Covici Friede. The stories in the book are tales of a boy named Jody Tiflin. The book has four different stories about Jody and his life on his father's Californiaranch. Other main characters include Carl Tiflin - Jody's father; Billy Buck - an expert in horses and a working hand on the ranch; Mrs. Tiflin - Jody's mother; Jody's grandfather - Mrs. Tiflin's father, who has a history of crossing the Oregon Trail, and enjoys telling stories about his experiences; and Gitano - an old man who wishes to die at the Tiflin ranch. Along with these stories, there is a short story (taken from one of Steinbeck's earlier works, The Pastures of Heaven) at the end of the book titled "Junius Maltby." However, this last story is omitted in the edition published by Penguin Books.
Characters
Jody Tiflin - the young protagonist of The Red Pony is innocent, dedicated, and polite. “He was a little boy, ten years old, with hair like dusty yellow grass and with shy polite grey eyes, and with a mouth that worked when he thought." He is the son of Carl Tiflin and learns to train horses from his role model Billy Buck.
The Gift is actor and author Kirk Douglas' second novel. First published in 1992, it is a romance about orphaned and depressed heiress Patricia Dennison, and a handsome, injured bullfighter, Miguel Cardiga.

INXS - The Gift
INXS - The Gift
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 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
Yeah, yeah
Do, do, do all we ever try
I was thinking got the feeling
The gift you gave is gonna last forever
I was thinking, got the feeling
The gift you gave is gonna last forever
Let you take me deep down the river
Kiss the changes that shape my life, yeah

All the truth you see
Rise and fall
But I know what's 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
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
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
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

Video
The music video for "The Gift" dramatises issues ranging from war and terrorism to famine and pollution with the band appearing to crash through the TV screen in anger. The video was banned by MTV, formerly INXS's greatest ally, owing to its use of Holocaust and Gulf War footage.
In an interview with the director and long-term collaborator, Richard Lowenstein; "The video uses harrowing visuals in order to portray man's ability to create havoc and destruction. The message behind the video is to show how as viewers, we have become accepting of, and increasingly apathetic to images of gross human suffering and violence."
