Yeah, it is. I read recently that after recording the album "Heart Shaped World" with this song on it along with several other great songs, record execs flew in to preview the album with him and just sat there with no show of enthusiasm. His career had gone nowhere to that point. But it takes some really lame idiots to be oblivious to Chris Isaak's songs at that point. They didn't belong in the record business when they were that stupid. It was a couple of years later before this song broke into national popularity when released as a single.
@@leeabney2974 Not really, since Isaak has written other excellent songs, and in this case it's been reported that his guitarist at the time, James Calvin Wilsey, created the guitar sound and overall arrangement of the song.
exactly - this is the song you play in the car while you drive 500 miles to find the woman you love - or maybe forget the women you love. If it's a scene in a movie, its in black and white
@@rogerw2101 she is absolutely amazing sings in like 8 different languages from Can't Help Falling In Love the Elvis Song but her rendition is nothing like you've ever heard to Rechenka a Russian Folk Song I have know idea what she's singing but music needs no language it's one of the most Powerful Haunting Extravagant Songs you'll ever hear..
Read up on Wikipedia about her a remarkable story from an awful childhood of being abused and abandoned to the stunning young lady with the voice of the 21st Century
@@garymaidman625 you replis this to every comment that says he reminds them of Elvis. Ok we get it.He was inspired by Roy Orbison ,but somehow he reminds us more to Elvis than Roy so.
Ohmy gosh… I am in love with this song. The guitar with his voice gives me chills. I am an old lady but I guess I can still get chills. Where has he been hiding lately? Have not seen/heard him lately.😊😊
Cherie Sumner A lot of people thought and still think that it's "Woman's" but the song is not gender-based in any way, as Chris Isaak meant it to be. In other words, a broken-hearted man or woman can sing to this song. BTW, my avatar is a pic of Steve Perry back in the early 80's. My real face will always be unknown... Thanks for ringing in Cherie. You have a nice day/evening.
Amazing display of a magical song. Being a prog head it takes a WHOLE lot to like a love ballad, but this is so much like Roy Orbison it gives me chills and in my autumn years I have a new found fondness for this music... Oh, Well back to some Vishnu- Birds of fire...Billy C. will take away the pain... : )
I love Chris Isaak and I sing this song live but I've noticed there are often subtle effects added to his voice during the high notes of this song, in this one there's a delay that's faded in. So don't beat yourself up if your voice doesn't sound as harmonically rich :)
Essa é e sempre será a música mais linda que já ouvi. Ele foi contemplado com essa melodia divina, com essa inspiração romântica e sensual. Uma dualidade que não dá para mensurar. Nunca me canso de ver o vídeo, vou assistir para sempre. Obrigada por essa obra prima. São paulo janeiro 2021 BR .😍😍
A Stratocaster a tremelo bar and a Fender Twin Reverb amp... and that's all you need. Love it and had to learn to play it the first time I heard it!!! Fantastic!
This song is the male counterpart of "Love Me or Leave Me", perfectly sums up that feeling of "I know it doesn't make sense, but if I can't be with you, I don't want to be with anyone"...

He wrote a masterpiece.
Indeed he did !!
Amazing isn't it !!😊😊

It’s like he accidentally wrote a masterpiece. It’s amazing in every aspect. Pure.
@@leeabney2974 Not really, since Isaak has written other excellent songs, and in this case it's been reported that his guitarist at the time, James Calvin Wilsey, created the guitar sound and overall arrangement of the song.
3 chords perfectly "orchestrated."
You never ever get tired of this song by him.
It’s like Elvis & Roy Orbison combined. What a haunting talented artist vocally. Great song brilliant
The absolutely sexiest song EVER! What a voice, he makes you believe what he's singing.
He’s great. George Michael on his own was unbelievable also. And I’m a rock/ metal guy. Lol
One of the most "heart-wrenching gorgeous songs written."
Legend has it he‘s still holding that note..
No doubt. His voice is like no other...💙💙💙
Daryl Hall has him beat by quite a few seconds on 'Sara Smile'
That’s called a ‘Terry Meisner’ hold.
This is the kind of cool-sexy song that makes you want to drop everything and drive 500 miles to find the woman you love and just hold her...
im here because my woman loves another man... I'm only 22 though. Why do we enjoy melancholy...
+amy dove forget her. Google "Le Cheatue Heartiste" The truth will set you free young man.
you're right man! you're damn right!
And just watch the scenery of the drive while you get there

I am honestly glad the crowd is quiet in this one! This is a beautiful song 🙂
Si può solo ascoltare 😊
2023...Love this music ❤
Those piercing eyes
That piercing voice
Those piercing lyrics
Shot through the heart with a piercing arrow of desire❤❤❤❤😂
What about those lips? Id love to watch them when sucking on his d---
God I love this song So much. Its Haunting , You can feel it so deep .
You really need to listen to Diana Ankudinova sing this then you'll know what a haunting song is
@@paulwilliams-or8hq I will thanks
@@paulwilliams-or8hq WOW LOVE IT 😍

This man gives me chills just listening to him on this screen
Chris Isaak sure is one handsome guy!!!!!!!! Sooooo handsome and a great singer/songwriter/musician!!!!! He has my heart 💓💓!!!!!❤️🎼🎵🎶❤️
The King. My favourite song ever. Never gets old.
Don't know why but here he reminds me of the king.
That's because the low pitched voice, the country-influenced style and the hair, of course!
He was more influenced by Roy Orbison than Elvis.
rockabilly
@@garymaidman625 you replis this to every comment that says he reminds them of Elvis.

@@lel2012 no I don't, mostly because I don't have time to reply to the hundreds, if not thousands of comments on here.
He held that note forever!
Daryl Hall has him beat by quite a few seconds on 'Sara Smile'
"There's always someone gonna break your heat"
Chris Isaak and his band also put on a great live show.
Yes they do!
By far the most beautiful love song ever written!
Scott I seen him in Canton Ohio in July 2022 he was fantastic & at 65 he didn’t look to bad either 😋
Ohmy gosh… I am in love with this song. The guitar with his voice gives me chills. I am an old lady but I guess I can still get chills. Where has he been hiding lately? Have not seen/heard him lately.😊😊
Look kids, that is what called masterpiece!
This is a real romantic song ever the best lovely
There's something very Elvis like about him.
More Roy than Elvis. Roy was the bigger influence on him.
A musical chimera of Roy and Elvis
Intentional.
I like him more than I did Elvis
@@direwolf9569 absolutely..spot on!
His voice even live is just beautiful
thats just a great song and love the guitar sound
I am old and my memory often fails me, but the words of the song are clear and bring back wonderful memories once forgotten. Thanks for the post!
This world is only going to break your heart...

@gregnormal55 Yes, I am. I saw Chris live in San Diego in the 90s. He's a nice guy too.

This song makes me think of my love that got away makes me tear up hearing this
What a voice
Love Wicked game... a great great song. Thankyou Chris.. for all your talent. & loved you in 'Silence'. a small but memorable part. 😮
Great song!
Wish I was the person you didn’t want to fall in love with. I love you. Your music I listen to before I try to go to sleep.
A Stratocaster a tremelo bar and a Fender Twin Reverb amp... and that's all you need. Love it and had to learn to play it the first time I heard it!!! Fantastic!
And the guy that did the guitar solo is dead
His guitar player is great!
Ouvir e ouvir sempre essa música!❤
I was so in Love with that song and singer at the time! And the black and white Video with Helena Christensen😍❤️🤩
Este hombre me vuelve loca... Que hermosa música y el le da más magia.
Amazing song and delivery

This is damn amazing

Have always loved this song!
one of the best guitar riff ever

That's it! A masterpiece! ❤ I've been in love with it/him since then! 😂❤
that's called talent 🙂
Wild at Heart .....
Wie kann jemand mit so einer Stimme 20 Jahre unentdeckt bleiben?
Noemi Lena unentdeckt...? von dirvielleicht, ja.
I was expecting a mullet!
He was truly ahead of his time 😄
this is the song about a man, or woman, who played a "Wicked
Game" and how they left someone wondering "What the hell just happened?"
In a nutshell, I'd say that was pretty accurate Kathy..
Exactly!
Outstanding song❤
This is on my list of songs I'm going to play when I learn guitar, I just need a guitar
This song gots me in all my feels....#GamesYouPlay
Great song from you , great love to you 💘💘💘
