I dedicate this beautiful song to my late wife. She was taken from me way too soon. She left me with two amazing sons. God, I miss you Koren! Thank you for the 16 best years of my life.
@@lovetruepink8140 centerstaging musical Productions Los Angeles California 2006 the band was rehearsing for the upcoming tour Chris had it filmed and recorded to evaluate the band it was never planned to be released to the public thankfully it was cheers
I was never much a fan of Chris but after they played this song at my Uncle’s funeral I’ve found myself listening to and enjoying it more and more. His voice is something else
Agreed. If I closed my eyes, and did an A/B comparison between this vid and the original studio version, I'd pick the video version. The sound engineer totally knocked this out of the park!
I think this is very very close to the way James Wisley originally played it. Over time I think the band has sometimes played and arranged it differently. There are a few versions dotted about on RUclips, played by Isaak's band. Either that or I'm just imagining I hear differences! I think this is a very authentic to the Silvertone roots. Yea I agree, its a haunting kinda tune, definitely brilliant!
Unbelievable that this recording was made as a song check before a LIVE performance in front of a huge audience! They recorded it just to ensure they were all ready, sound was up to par, etc! It’s so raw but beautifully haunting! I would LOVE to see one of his LIVE performances!
I dedicate this song to my husband. He loves me more fully than any other man I have met. We only met in our 50s, but we thank God for meeting. He has a progressive rare genetic disease, and no matter how hard our days are, we continue to thank God for each other. 😢❤
This song reminds me of my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost battling cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, life could be so unfair most times, but sometimes I wonder why bad things always happen to good people.
IM 65 AND AND I HAVE HEARD THIS SONG FOR YEARS BUT NEVER COULD CATCH HIS MAME UNTIL A FEW MONTHS AGO AND IM IN THE MUSIC BUISSNES AT THE JERSEY SHORE GO FIGURE SO DONT FEEL BAD BOBBYMAC THANKS
The most haunting song I can think of.The opening guitar sets the tone perfectly.The ache in Chris’s voice just says what it feels to lose the one you love.
Oh God, I know what it is to lose the love of my life. And she wants absolutely nothing to do with me. I can't blame her for ending our marriage. Love my ex-wife Camilla.
This is easily the best recording of wicked game on the internet. Even the versions on spotify have NOTHING on this recording. Bravo to Chris, the band and the sound engineer!! Top notch :-)
You gotta give credit to your sound engineers and your light guys. Without them you are not seen or heard. I agree this is a great version but theres a compilation out there of this song where it shows him through the decades. I feel like this song is only getting better the older chris gets.
Boy, oh boy, I've probably listened to tens of thousands of songs on You Tube, and this is by far the sharpest recording of any live song I've listened to on this platform. The sound engineering makes this song sound like you are listening to it live. Every vocal and musical chord is so sharp and clear.
Always in a state of shock over how clean the sound is on this song. On top of superb picking..the people running sound on this are ingenius.The clarity is unsurpassed!

I think this song is more cherished by musicians. This recording and this live performance are a treat to the ears! If you’re wondering how good his dance moves are, you might be in the wrong place.

Being a musician (drummer), I so want to say that the percussionist playing in the live clip has a great sense of orchestration. The sound of shakers along with the bass drum tone and the snare which I believe is played through a brush and not sticks is so soothing and sits just well along the song !
I always assumed some studio magic was involved in the original radio version of this song, specifically pertaining to the lead vocals. Seeing how effortlessly yet perfectly Chris sings it live is beyond impressive.
so did I until I learnt to play it. Never going to sound as good as these guys, but it is surprisingly do-able to do a decent sounding job. The hard part is to not rush and feel the timing of everything. And it is really fun to play. Singing it though, not so easy, haha!!
@@cloudthegoodkatch For sure not, guess you havent seen his performance on MTV Unplugged, no tuners involved son. And it's even better on unplugged, was abit younger aswell so that might be it.
Boy, do I miss this mans music. I wish he could go back to those roots and bless us with another album. His music transcended race and genre. Was unique and inspired.
Everybody's trying to stay in the background. master of understatement and cool. live version in late 90 was actually better because he had that masterful surfer guitarist
Agreed. But in saying so, you should check out James Vincent McMorrow’s cover and see how it makes you feel. Not many words to describe it, but it definitely does the original justice.
I want to say thanks for all the warm comments and likes... Oh well since I got too many messages over at my blue print account so I decided to isolate myself here and reach at to few of my fans without you I wouldn't have been here today. Kisses 💋to your lovely heart
Mediterranean sunsets, a love long gone, slow dances a life time ago. So grateful to have experienced it all. Brilliant album, brilliant artist. To everyone who knows how much this song means, cheers 🍻.
When a musician plays it like the original recording is a true musician! No butchering of the song here! That single coil sound of that strat man ! Love it!
My Goodness, what a classic. Great musicians... I was only going to mention the marvelous tone of that "Strat" guitar and how beautifully played it was, but then again, just listen to the bass....just Devine and the drums... everything is so well put together and on top of all that we were blessed by this gigantic interpretation of Chris Isaak... Thank you so much, guys!!!!!!!!!! I can listen to this masterpiece many times over during the day!
I've long ago outgrown tearjerker love songs. Genetic material copies itself, we're life forms, I get it, big fucking deal. But this is GOOD art! These dudes are talented as fuck, making me like to listen to a type of song I normally can't stand anymore :)
Top 10 songs of all time! Song is so hypnotic I’m surprised he never had a massive hit. That guitar player is utterly amazing for writing those riffs with the tremolo.
Do you woke from coma yesterday? For a single made by barely known singer outside US, this pretty soom became massive hit. 10 years later, it was still one of the most frequent song on Select MTV. And it sure isn't TOP10 song, because there are no TOP10 song. More like thousands, each TOP in it's own way. They are equaly good, .... you just don't know them.
Hands down one of the greatest ballads of all time. I was a 12 year old metal head when this came on MTV and the video stopped me in my tracks every time it came on. I mean sure Helena Christensen was easy on the eyes but the song was beautifully haunting. Stands the test of time.
I worked years as a Bylaw Enforcement Officer and was called many times over the years to bands playing in backyards. I never shut one down because I always thought of the great music we missed that never made radio play when I was a kid. I'd hang out for a while and listen then ask them to turn it down just a little. I could spend all day in this backyard listening to Nick Stone and the Shifty Hunchbacks.
Simply the BEST sound mixing I’ve heard on a live band ,you can hear every individual instrument which absolutely makes a difference instead of a ‘wall of sound’ …great song by a great artist accompanied by great musicians
Im not gonna sit here and let you slander the Wall of Sound and by extension the late great Owsley Stanley. Aka Bear, the mad scientist, audio technician and LSD chemist that rolled with the Grateful dead in the 60's and 70's. He may have been in jail for the creation of the Wall of Sound. But his work was certainly the inspiration, and the result was the loudest and clearest sound mix ever produced at a live event. Then a few years later advancements in audio tech made it outdated and the wall came down.
I wasn’t referring to that ,I simply meant that when a mix isn’t done properly,all you hear is a garbled mess leading to a ‘wall of sound’ from which you can’t distinguish who’s playing what etc ….sorry for any confusion caused 👍
My name is also Chris, and if ever I would’ve been a singer/musician-these are the perfect words, melody along with falsetto talent, that I could’ve ever dreamed of. Much respect forever-
I found this song back then when I was going through very difficult time, my mother past away and I had guilt to not being a good son, the same time my Ex left me, this song was the only way for me to cry, because no matter what I do my tears never come out, I'm very hard hearted man I never cry but,,, That time I need to cry and I was alone and I needed to help my self I needed to let out all the pain,, this song was such and excellent medicine for me, everytime when I heard this song my heart just melt, So thank you so much for posting this and thank you for the singer I don't even know his name for singing this excellent song,, I also want to say that life is cruel and sometime thing never change, we hope things will be okay but that never happens you stay alone you stay being treated like shit,, in the end we have to accept that some of us people are not lucky enough to have people in our life who care about us, some of just have to accept that not matter how much we give and how much we love and care and sacrifice but in the end no one care,,,💔
it has been pitch corrected, as have the backing vocals... to even more degree. Wax in ears?? Now listen again. The original is not f'ed with like this.
at least 10y ago Mr.Isaak played at Humboldt State College. One song he sang he was wearing a suit made of hundreds of 1"sq mirrors that was something to see. He was a comic too, goofing off with his grounp and the audience. I saw him once again and it was a honor to listen to his great voice. I wish he handn't quit.
As a teenager I used to listen to it all the time. A spent all my pocket money of the month to buy the record. I still have it. This song represents for me my melancholic youth. Still love it.
This is THE best song ever, ever, and ever... Loved it when it came out, still adoring it now. When you hear/watch covers, they always do weird stuff to their voices to sound like Mr. Isaac, but it's never the same. Cover it, don't imitate it, doesn't work, his voice is one of a kind. Did I mention I love this song?
Corey Taylor does it justice in his own way, with his own voice. Probably the only person who's done it properly. But Isaak still is the best, obviously. The twang' can't be immitated. .
Gina Miles fir sure won the Voice America with her amazing rendition of this song: It was hauntingly beautiful, and I have his original Album! My fav song too! Listen to Gina! Chris would love it too:
You are so right. I saw them live two nights ago and the entire band is awesome. Chris also gave kudos to the drummer who hits the high notes when they sing harmony.
It may be one of the best songs ever...it's flawless nothing is overdone and nothing is missing. Not too short, not too long, it's a modern masterpiece.
I did that once…..played it over and over and over again……won’t say what I was doing…..but it was memorable! 😮 Best song EVER!!! Just saw him in Santa Rosa, CA a few months ago. He’s amazing…..always has been!
This song tells me that i'm alive! Still hearing and it's better with the years.... Thanx you, my brothers... We still here 2024. No war, no pandemia, nothing against us!
The world was on fire and no one could save me but you It's strange what desire will make foolish people do I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) With you With you (This world is only gonna break your heart) What a wicked game you play, to make me feel this way What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you And I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) With you The world was on fire and no one could save me but you Strange what desire will make foolish people do I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) With you (this world is only gonna break your heart) With you (with you) (This world is only gonna break your heart) No, I (this world is only gonna break your heart) (This world is only gonna break your heart) Nobody loves no one
Wow, apart from being an iconic song, I was blown away by the precision of everything I heard, from the vocals, to the perfect moment each guitar string was picked and strummed, to the perfection of the percussion.Going to have to replay....
THE. BEST. SOLO Seriously you have to go back and listen again and again to realize how good this is. It’s a masterpiece. Compare this to other hits with a lead guitar has some kind of an impact and you’ll find this is almost flawless. It’s unreal that this is a one hit wonder

It keeps you right on the edge waiting to fall off..
This song is a perfect example of 'less is more'. Slow rhythm, calm voice, beautiful melody. Just magic
He’s a perfect look up Chris Isaak with Cameron Diaz .. piece of sh*t
Yep

and its actually harder to play IMO because every little mistake will be heard

Gets better with age, like fine wine .

this song is timeless
Centerstaging Musical Productions 2006 he was 50 when this rehearsal was filmed
Amazing ..music
THIS is what happens when a song, vocals, musicianship and production are all at the top of their game. Awesome!
The original studio version was 99% perfect as well, it just needed the bass guitar higher in the mix. This is more like it!
Agreed. If I closed my eyes, and did an A/B comparison between this vid and the original studio version, I'd pick the video version. The sound engineer totally knocked this out of the park!
It just doesn't happen anymore .
James Calvin Wilsey played the base guitar as one of the very best could play!!!! The song feels empty without his Superior Guitar!♥️

I cannot explain why this song hits me everytime. Everytime.
Me too! Grabs me by the heartstrings.
Me tooooo
because "Nobody loves no one."
Every time indeed.
It breaks my heart every time
Chris Isaak's Wicked Game is the original and still the best, smoothest, most sultry, and knee buckling sexy. I tremble.
Das empfinde ich auch so! 🎶 Die Cover von Black Jack, Diana Ankudinova etc. reichen nicht heran!
This is a great example of a tight band,every member playing their hearts out ❤
100% true but not over-playing. Less is more here. Sign of mature confident comfortable musos imho
Songs like this only happen so often in each generation. Truly blessed to hear this magic. Thank you Chris!!!!
This version sounds amazing. Has to be one of the best songs ever written 🙌
Popped up randomly for me laying in bed on a first or second date once. Beautiful. Awkward if you listen too closely.
I think this is very very close to the way James Wisley originally played it. Over time I think the band has sometimes played and arranged it differently. There are a few versions dotted about on RUclips, played by Isaak's band. Either that or I'm just imagining I hear differences! I think this is a very authentic to the Silvertone roots. Yea I agree, its a haunting kinda tune, definitely brilliant!
You bet
Audio is close to hifi and about as good as you can get playing from RUclips.
Agreed
Man - what a voice. Always loved the song, but this version is so clean.
Chris Isaak covering Can't Help Falling in Love and It's Now or Never..Makes The Females Swoon
Too clean for live and strong support by various assisting musicians
No matter, anyway I like that what is the underlying substance...composition and lyrics. ❤❤❤
Yes, clean.. sharp. A wonderful song.............
Natural musicians playing music will be my favorite music

Lyrics
The world was on fire and
No one could save me but you
It's strange what desire make foolish lovers do
I'd never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I'd never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
No, I don't want to fall in love
(This girl is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't want to fall in love
(This girl is only gonna break your heart)
With you
With you
What a wicked game you played
To let me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
To let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say
You never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do
Let me dream of you
And I don't want to fall in love
(This girl is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't want to fall in love
(This girl is only gonna break your heart)
With you
The world was on fire and
No one could save me but you
It's strange what desire will make foolish lovers do
I'd never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
I'd never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
No, I don't want to fall in love
(This girl is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't want to fall in love
(This girl is only gonna break your heart)
With you
With you
No I...
Nobody loves no one
Thank you
A lot of wrong lyrics in there lol google is your friend
Used to sing 'foolish people', it's now 'foolish lovers'.
The best cover of this song it's from band names HIM
This WORLD is only gonna break your heart..
I have always loved this song by Chris Isaak and it never gets old. It is just beautiful.
Saten sheets, dim lights, sipping wine & this song. I get weak hearing him sing this.

Why am I just learning about this amazing group of guys FIVE YEARS LATER? Why aren’t they the biggest band in the world?
I dont really know myself.
It must have been your predetermined destiny.
Столько шедевров на этой земле! И сейчас мы наслаждаемся одним из них! Это превосходная песня!
This song is absolutely beautiful. I could listen to it over and over. Never get tired of hearing it. Chris is so gorgeous.
Diane I am one of them people who could listen to this song over & over as well so beautiful song ✌🏼
I hear you Diane. He's as beautiful as his voice ...sigh
I absolutely agree!
Maybe I could turn gay for this man Diane :)
Yes totally gorgeous
Being a musician (drummer), I so want to say that the percussionist playing in the live clip has a great sense of orchestration. The sound of shakers along with the bass drum tone and the snare which I believe is played through a brush and not sticks is so soothing and sits just well along the song !
Agreed! Great comment.
i mean yeah, you can clearly see its brushes and not sticks tf
I'm as an amateur drummer as they come and I still remarked to myself how seamless the dummer used that shaker. It was SO smooth
I'm not a musician, but I really appreciate that too! It's sounds lovely 🥰
I agree with rishi and George
Who ever loves this song i love you too .
I always assumed some studio magic was involved in the original radio version of this song, specifically pertaining to the lead vocals. Seeing how effortlessly yet perfectly Chris sings it live is beyond impressive.
You said what I was thinking so beautifully.
@@VincentVaIentine Well thank you 🙏
so did I until I learnt to play it. Never going to sound as good as these guys, but it is surprisingly do-able to do a decent sounding job. The hard part is to not rush and feel the timing of everything. And it is really fun to play. Singing it though, not so easy, haha!!
He’s got a live tuner on his voice for sure but it’s incredible performance
@@cloudthegoodkatch For sure not, guess you havent seen his performance on MTV Unplugged, no tuners involved son. And it's even better on unplugged, was abit younger aswell so that might be it.
A timeless classic, Chris has such a beautiful voice, it pairs so nicely with the guitar.

Boy, do I miss this mans music. I wish he could go back to those roots and bless us with another album. His music transcended race and genre. Was unique and inspired.
Such a beautiful, haunting, heart breaking song. Chris nails it everytime!! Never get tired of listening to it!!
Puerto
I think we all had a girl like that
@Chris Isaak You broke 5he mold on that song. Sure brings back memories.
@Chris Isaak If you are reading these posts, I'm amazed. If you are many thanks. You make amazing music. Thank you.
@Chris Isaak really ?
Lol.
The best live version of a song I have ever heard.
LOVE THIS VERSION ! Sometimes even when there's no public, we see the magic, the artists in their most common place
Nice piece this one 👌
Ditto❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
When music was music...!❤
This man’s passion for what he does is so refreshing. I love this man and this band The world needs more of this ❤️
Dead on sir. This was some of the last of the age of innocence in the 70s. We need this kind of music again to lift our spirits.
Más de esto y menos del obsceno regueton.
@@ronaldpetit9607 wicked game 1989
The sound of the guitar and his voice is just 'haunting'..
HAUNTING is the perfect word too describe this hauntingly beautiful song. I love Chris Isaac's voice.❤
Everybody's trying to stay in the background. master of understatement and cool. live version in late 90 was actually better because he had that masterful surfer guitarist
Blue Spanish Sky is another great tune of this album.
Many have and will continue to cover this beautifully heart breaking track. But nobody will ever perform it better than Chris.
Agree. Stone Sour cover is amazing but is light years away from this.
His voice is just perfect
It is part of him cause he wrote it.❤️
So true I agree
Agreed.
But in saying so, you should check out James Vincent McMorrow’s cover and see how it makes you feel.
Not many words to describe it, but it definitely does the original justice.
Still here in 2024 beautiful song ❤❤
One of the most wonderful songs ever written. This performance is absolutely perfect. His voice is just so incredible
I want to say thanks for all the warm comments and likes... Oh well since I got too many messages over at my blue print account so I decided to isolate myself here and reach at to few of my fans without you I wouldn't have been here today. Kisses 💋to your lovely heart
The voice just mesmerize you soul
I don't think anyone can really explain the feelings you get listening to this especially if you're missing someone
Mediterranean sunsets, a love long gone, slow dances a life time ago. So grateful to have experienced it all. Brilliant album, brilliant artist. To everyone who knows how much this song means, cheers 🍻.
I know exactly what you mean, feel
Bin there, done that😢
Simply magic....Thankyou, Chris Isaak, for the amazing memories ...If I died tomorrow I know I've heard the best love song written.
When a musician plays it like the original recording is a true musician! No butchering of the song here! That single coil sound of that strat man ! Love it!
One of the most beautiful songs EVER. So beautiful that it makes me cry. This live performance sounds better than the recording.
And it's not that often that the live version sounds a lot better...
My Goodness, what a classic. Great musicians... I was only going to mention the marvelous tone of that "Strat" guitar and how beautifully played it was, but then again, just listen to the bass....just Devine and the drums... everything is so well put together and on top of all that we were blessed by this gigantic interpretation of Chris Isaak... Thank you so much, guys!!!!!!!!!! I can listen to this masterpiece many times over during the day!
If this doesn’t stir you...you’re dead. What a fantastic performance by everyone involved, especially the dude that mixed it. This is a gem.
Still living! Chris is a gem!
Stfu plx
Truly better than the original mix
The guitar work .so simple and elegant. Along with the rest. Genius
I've long ago outgrown tearjerker love songs. Genetic material copies itself, we're life forms, I get it, big fucking deal.
But this is GOOD art! These dudes are talented as fuck, making me like to listen to a type of song I normally can't stand anymore :)
Tem Brasileiro ouvindo tbm em 2024? ❤️🇧🇷
Eu ! 💚💜🇧🇷

The Way He holds That Note is Insanely Clever! What an amazing sound! This has Got to be the Best Version!Brilliant Song!
Top 10 songs of all time! Song is so hypnotic I’m surprised he never had a massive hit. That guitar player is utterly amazing for writing those riffs with the tremolo.
Agreed.
Do you woke from coma yesterday?
For a single made by barely known singer outside US, this pretty soom became massive hit.
10 years later, it was still one of the most frequent song on Select MTV.
And it sure isn't TOP10 song, because there are no TOP10 song. More like thousands, each TOP in it's own way. They are equaly good, .... you just don't know them.
This song was a huge hit.
Agreed. I didn't even know this guy until I saw this, and this voice was transcending.
Tre mende
This is literally one of the greatest songs ever written imo. And I'm a huge Brian Wilson fan, too.
Hands down one of the greatest ballads of all time. I was a 12 year old metal head when this came on MTV and the video stopped me in my tracks every time it came on. I mean sure Helena Christensen was easy on the eyes but the song was beautifully haunting. Stands the test of time.
Oh man I was born in 83 so this song definitely help jump start my interest in girls!
I agree, born 75 and this track had a coolness even though I was a rap/metal type.
Awesome
I worked years as a Bylaw Enforcement Officer and was called many times over the years to bands playing in backyards. I never shut one down because I always thought of the great music we missed that never made radio play when I was a kid. I'd hang out for a while and listen then ask them to turn it down just a little. I could spend all day in this backyard listening to Nick Stone and the Shifty Hunchbacks.
if your going to have hunchbacks in your band best they be shifty
❤
Simply the BEST sound mixing I’ve heard on a live band ,you can hear every individual instrument which absolutely makes a difference instead of a ‘wall of sound’ …great song by a great artist accompanied by great musicians
Im not gonna sit here and let you slander the Wall of Sound and by extension the late great Owsley Stanley. Aka Bear, the mad scientist, audio technician and LSD chemist that rolled with the Grateful dead in the 60's and 70's. He may have been in jail for the creation of the Wall of Sound. But his work was certainly the inspiration, and the result was the loudest and clearest sound mix ever produced at a live event. Then a few years later advancements in audio tech made it outdated and the wall came down.
simple is the best .this is a period piece ..adds to the stark reality ..beautifully done
I wasn’t referring to that ,I simply meant that when a mix isn’t done properly,all you hear is a garbled mess leading to a ‘wall of sound’ from which you can’t distinguish who’s playing what etc ….sorry for any confusion caused 👍
I will never get tired of this song! Truly a timeless classic.
My name is also Chris, and if ever I would’ve been a singer/musician-these are the perfect words, melody along with falsetto talent, that I could’ve ever dreamed of. Much respect forever-
I found this song back then when I was going through very difficult time, my mother past away and I had guilt to not being a good son, the same time my Ex left me, this song was the only way for me to cry, because no matter what I do my tears never come out, I'm very hard hearted man I never cry but,,,
That time I need to cry and I was alone and I needed to help my self I needed to let out all the pain,, this song was such and excellent medicine for me, everytime when I heard this song my heart just melt,
So thank you so much for posting this and thank you for the singer I don't even know his name for singing this excellent song,,
I also want to say that life is cruel and sometime thing never change, we hope things will be okay but that never happens you stay alone you stay being treated like shit,, in the end we have to accept that some of us people are not lucky enough to have people in our life who care about us, some of just have to accept that not matter how much we give and how much we love and care and sacrifice but in the end no one care,,,💔
Bless you. Hope you’re ok?
This live did NOT disappoint. Even the back up singers. Just lovely.
it has been pitch corrected, as have the backing vocals... to even more degree. Wax in ears?? Now listen again. The original is not f'ed with like this.
at least 10y ago Mr.Isaak played at Humboldt State College. One song he sang he was wearing a suit made of hundreds of 1"sq mirrors that was something to see. He was a comic too, goofing off with his grounp and the audience. I saw him once again and it was a honor to listen to his great voice. I wish he handn't quit.
As a teenager I used to listen to it all the time. A spent all my pocket money of the month to buy the record. I still have it. This song represents for me my melancholic youth. Still love it.
This is THE best song ever, ever, and ever... Loved it when it came out, still adoring it now. When you hear/watch covers, they always do weird stuff to their voices to sound like Mr. Isaac, but it's never the same. Cover it, don't imitate it, doesn't work, his voice is one of a kind. Did I mention I love this song?
I bet Elvis would have killed this song.
Tenacious D cover is pretty good though!
Corey Taylor does it justice in his own way, with his own voice. Probably the only person who's done it properly. But Isaak still is the best, obviously. The twang' can't be immitated. .
Gina Miles fir sure won the Voice America with her amazing rendition of this song: It was hauntingly beautiful, and I have his original Album! My fav song too! Listen to Gina! Chris would love it too:
@@emphotos103 She has a nice voice but her music is just the usual anonymous amorphous drivel that we've all heard a million times.
Chris is a amazing singer but the backing boys are really good aswell ❤️

@@josinaferraira5886 👍👍
You are so right. I saw them live two nights ago and the entire band is awesome. Chris also gave kudos to the drummer who hits the high notes when they sing harmony.
Julie, not everyone gets it but you know like I that awesome tune doesn't happen without the guys in the back!
It is a TEAM😍They all are equally important!!!🐞🐘🍀🌺💖💥
Sublime,simply sublime!
The best Chris Isaak song EVER! It gets more magical every time I hear it. Could play it over and over and over again!
It may be one of the best songs ever...it's flawless nothing is overdone and nothing is missing. Not too short, not too long, it's a modern masterpiece.
I did that once…..played it over and over and over again……won’t say what I was doing…..but it was memorable! 😮 Best song EVER!!! Just saw him in Santa Rosa, CA a few months ago. He’s amazing…..always has been!
I second that. Super easy to learn the basics of on a guitar too! Most magical elegance in simplicity, indeed!
Hello how are you I pray for you're keeping save and healthy over there
Never get tired of hearing this song, and only by Chris.
Just listen Diana Ankudinovas version when she was 15 .

My favorite song ever. Such a masterpiece. Chris Isaak is still so talented. Amazing live performance. Thanks for sharing.
This song tells me that i'm alive! Still hearing and it's better with the years.... Thanx you, my brothers... We still here 2024. No war, no pandemia, nothing against us!
I'm 25 years old, just recently discovered this tune, if you can believe it. It's become one of my favorite songs of all time
same, i have 16
That's good, a real song writer singer. So rare these days.
Beautiful haunting melody, great lyric, ball is I n your court, don't screw it up.
At 2:58 that tune is so good. NGL.
Better late than never...you have good taste in music.
November 2024 from South Africa and I'm loving this ❤
Something about this song, Chris's voice, the melody, the beat, the instruments, just resonates with my soul and transports me to a happy place.

This is such a timeless song… I’ve been listening to it for decades and it hits me every time what a spectacular song it is. 2024 and decades more…
We will go on for decades listening...
A true masterpiece! And that voice…..omgoodness.
He's literally pitch perfect. Such an underrated performer.
Wow, apart from being an iconic song, I was blown away by the precision of everything I heard, from the vocals, to the perfect moment each guitar string was picked and strummed, to the perfection of the percussion.Going to have to replay....
THE. BEST. SOLO
Seriously you have to go back and listen again and again to realize how good this is. It’s a masterpiece. Compare this to other hits with a lead guitar has some kind of an impact and you’ll find this is almost flawless.
It’s unreal that this is a one hit wonder
Agreed 😮
Its not a one hit wonder if you listen to Chris work
This song has and always will Touch Our Souls. So we always come back to it. Thanks Chris🎉❤
The musicians backing his voice are also tight. This harmony is beautiful.
This is the most accurate live version of a song I have ever witnessed, and I’ve seen a hell of a lot in my time. Absolutely Stunning version 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
And it is.... a rehearsal !!!
Guitar part is a bit different but still a great version
