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
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 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 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.
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.
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 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!
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!

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.
This feels like a piece of lost media inexplicably resurfacing after two decades lost on an archive tape somewhere. Wonderful live performance of a superb track, solid performances from everyone.
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.
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 !
Hi 1990 zum ersten mal in SÜDFRANKREICH GEHÖRT,das Lied ging uns nicht mehr aus dem Kopf bis wir in einen Schallplatten Laden mit meiner Frau gingen und nach einer Gesangseinlage der Verkäufer wußte welches Lied wir meinten ,wir erinnern uns heute immer noch gerne daran 👉
This song still gets me emotional... more than 30 years... we still insist on falling in love.... wicked...but needed... to everyone around here, may 2022... God bless you all... beautiful souls
The artists who make music like this have given the entire world an everlasting gift . I can listen to this and connect with it no matter what mood I’m in
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.
Saw him live 12 years ago....believe me, the sound is amazing, and he is so damn entertaining. Don't forget, he has dozens of other hits too. If I get a chance to see him again, I'll go.
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,,,💔
Back in the eighties I had just returned from an evening out at a piano and jazz bar in the Atlanta area where I met the most enchanting woman of my life and this was playing on MTV. I had never heard it before and it blew me away. The evening and morning we spent together was something that changed and matured me as a young man in my twenties and she was much older than me. I never saw her again after that chance encounter. I think of her when I hear this and I think of what could've been, but I don't think I could have handled it. Some part of me held out through the years hoping to duplicate that magical chemistry with someone else and it took me many years to realize it was never going to happen..
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 :)
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
I remember busking in the 80's and playing guitar, to this track, and my mate sang, it always went down an absolute storm, seems like a lifetime ago now, thanks Mr Isaak xx

Me too and I agree, but this song wasn't a hit until late 1990/early 1991. Being in Wild at Heart brought it to the forefront. I was working in a record store and it was quite a contrast to all the grunge and hip hop that was exploding at the time.
@@CraigS1124 No, you are exactly right. It was released in 89 and the album was mostly unnoticed. I just mean for me vis a vis cultural impact it was more a 90s song as that as when it hit.
The 1st time I heard this song was in a very strange movie "Wild at Heart". It was in a very eerie scene. I've always loved this song since the 1st time that I heard it. Beautiful!
Sometimes I feel like I had a life before this one because I’ll hear a song and know I’ve heard it before like a million times. I was watching The Family Man in November and there’s a scene where this song came on. I listen to it almost everyday now. This is a song that just takes you to another world
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.
@@vilmaaparecida3771 eu estou curtindo esse sucesso hoje 15 agosto 22 em Uberlândia MG parabéns os pais hoje dia dos pais que Deus abençoe todos. país que pó ventura estejam ouvindo essa música e para todos os pais. meus parabéns a todos principalmente pra mim .um abraço a todos
1986 _'Blue Hotel'_ , my Miami Vice days, my beloved and deeply missed 80s. Then in 1989 _'Wicked Games'_ , which at first no one paid any attention to until an instrumental version was used in David Lynch's _'Wild at Heart'_ . Then it too took off to conquer the charts. And Isaak still sounds the same as he did back then, looking fabulous, like a well-preserved 80s memento. 😎🙏🏼
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.

2024 brings me back to when I was a child in the 90’s and early 2000’s my father used to play this all the time ❤️ one of the greatest songs of all time
Ah... Memories. I was sitting at our car back seat when i was kid. This song was playing and i was watching stars through the window. I didn't understand english, but this melody and singers voice stuck in my head.
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
Yep
and its actually harder to play IMO because every little mistake will be heard
Have you forced kiss a girl before?
Man, every single person involved in this recording did everything absolutely right, perfection.
I was just thinking the same thing.
Loving the drummer. He’s having a good time.
Yeah, especially the guy doing a phone call at 2:40. The perfect phone call!
It's true
Exactly ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
This is the type of song that is quite literally impossible to get sick of😭🤌

Господи, какой голос!!! И сам Крис нисколько не поменялся. Бесподобно!!!❤
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 .

This might be the single greatest live performance I've ever seen
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 second that. Super easy to learn the basics of on a guitar too! Most magical elegance in simplicity, indeed!

One of those songs that will reach a 100 years & still be enjoyable to listen to in all weather. Winter, Summer, Spring & Autumn.
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
I don't think anyone can really explain the feelings you get listening to this especially if you're missing someone
Hi 1990 zum ersten mal in SÜDFRANKREICH GEHÖRT,das Lied ging uns nicht mehr aus dem Kopf bis wir in einen Schallplatten Laden mit meiner Frau gingen und nach einer Gesangseinlage der Verkäufer wußte welches Lied wir meinten ,wir erinnern uns heute immer noch gerne daran 👉
He looks like Tommy from vice city
And Warren Beaty On his profile, or Jughead from Archie comics 🤔😁
My comment was for Walk Of Life video. Shoot.
This song still gets me emotional... more than 30 years... we still insist on falling in love.... wicked...but needed... to everyone around here, may 2022... God bless you all... beautiful souls

The artists who make music like this have given the entire world an everlasting gift . I can listen to this and connect with it no matter what mood I’m in
@@skylerwhite3427 Yeah... me too.... so deep feelings on my soul...
How are you doing today ❤️ I pray you are keeping save over there
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.
I’m 58 year old Guido from bk,ny in 2024,I get it now.
I enjoy many genres of music and artists, but this song remains my all time favorite. Chris Isaak is really underrated.
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.

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!!!🐞🐘🍀🌺💖💥
The mark of genius songwriting... a song decades old that still sounds fresh and relevant. ❤
Saw him live 12 years ago....believe me, the sound is amazing, and he is so damn entertaining. Don't forget, he has dozens of other hits too. If I get a chance to see him again, I'll go.
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 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
Fantastic song and voice. Also clarity of sound and voice. Love it.
Back in the eighties I had just returned from an evening out at a piano and jazz bar in the Atlanta area where I met the most enchanting woman of my life and this was playing on MTV. I had never heard it before and it blew me away. The evening and morning we spent together was something that changed and matured me as a young man in my twenties and she was much older than me. I never saw her again after that chance encounter. I think of her when I hear this and I think of what could've been, but I don't think I could have handled it. Some part of me held out through the years hoping to duplicate that magical chemistry with someone else and it took me many years to realize it was never going to happen..
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 :)
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.
@@marilynmccormick3731 I am laughing but yessssssssssssssssssssssssss, perfect
I'm 11 and isn't the song old??? Hope u get the joke
Just beautiful🔥♥️
💜💙💛💚🧡♥️💕❤️🔥✨✨✨✨✨✨✨lovely song
I have this tune stuck in my head for three weeks
The guitar sets the perfect intro f
r this song . That voice is haunting my soul . I like to listen to this one when I'm soul searching .
This has got to be the sexiest song ever make, his voice is beautiful. This song and Sleepwalker cannot be matched EVER!
Sexiest song and sexiest video clip with Helena Christensen 😍😍
Who sings sleepwalker?
Not many songs can make a grown man cry but this can such an amazing song and amazing vocals the guitar 🎸 wow
Go rent a set chief
🐱 man up
Wow those guitars especially sound like all time tone, and somehow also marveling over the rest of this perfmanece sound mix
Totally agree WITH YOU
@@mikemer79 people like you are what’s wrong with the world these days. Yes I know you’re just joking.
Touched by grace with this song. It feels like gliding in the sky far beyond the mountains, hanging in the air.
My wife didn't care much for him until we got to see him live at Bridge School concert. Fantastic showman.
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.
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 remember busking in the 80's and playing guitar, to this track, and my mate sang, it always went down an absolute storm, seems like a lifetime ago now, thanks Mr Isaak xx
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
Another 80's classic that never gets old. I am blessed to have loved the 80's in real time!
Me to❤
Me too and I agree, but this song wasn't a hit until late 1990/early 1991. Being in Wild at Heart brought it to the forefront. I was working in a record store and it was quite a contrast to all the grunge and hip hop that was exploding at the time.
@@ericmills9839 I believe around that time he did a TV gig. SNL?
@@ericmills9839 I thought it was released in 1989, but charted 1990. I could be wrong, but either way, it is still a great song!
@@CraigS1124 No, you are exactly right. It was released in 89 and the album was mostly unnoticed. I just mean for me vis a vis cultural impact it was more a 90s song as that as when it hit.
A timeless classic, Chris has such a beautiful voice, it pairs so nicely with the guitar.

The 1st time I heard this song was in a very strange movie "Wild at Heart". It was in a very eerie scene. I've always loved this song since the 1st time that I heard it. Beautiful!
I never tire of this song, in fact, I never tire of Chris Issac.
Sometimes I feel like I had a life before this one because I’ll hear a song and know I’ve heard it before like a million times. I was watching The Family Man in November and there’s a scene where this song came on. I listen to it almost everyday now. This is a song that just takes you to another world
Thats because it was first released on Mars in the 50's
@@StarseedActivated lov4 yu
Its called Deja Vu , it happends to me too
I love you.
@Chris Isaak hello , im watching from europe ‐Romania
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
I've watched this at least 500 times.
Everything about this song and performance is perfect.
Época das musicas marcantes .. Mais alguém curtindo em 2022 ?? ♥🎸
Si amigo! Bonita. Pocito spanish me amor.

Sim, sempre
🙋euzinha aqui em 6 de agosto de 2022. Apaixonante.
@@vilmaaparecida3771 eu estou curtindo esse sucesso hoje 15 agosto 22 em Uberlândia MG parabéns os pais hoje dia dos pais que Deus abençoe todos. país que pó ventura estejam ouvindo essa música e para todos os pais. meus parabéns a todos principalmente pra mim .um abraço a todos
1986 _'Blue Hotel'_ , my Miami Vice days, my beloved and deeply missed 80s. Then in 1989 _'Wicked Games'_ , which at first no one paid any attention to until an instrumental version was used in David Lynch's _'Wild at Heart'_ . Then it too took off to conquer the charts. And Isaak still sounds the same as he did back then, looking fabulous, like a well-preserved 80s memento. 😎🙏🏼
❤ спасибо
ОБОЖАЮ
Также с долей сентиментальности - о 80- х!
You can see every band member just enjoying the session. Great job and such a hit. Amazing 😮
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

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..
Россия слушает и восхищаться, прекрасная песня...
"This world is only gonna break your heart"; TRUTH.
Jesus this sounds amazing. Credit to the guitars for playing so perfectly as well.
Yes!!!!!! Superb!!!
@@csd3384i seriously prefer this to the original studio version, just because I like seeing a performance like this.
It does look like one take although it may not be the first take. If you watch Pink Floyd Live At Pompeii you can see/hear the cuts.
@@alexbowman7582 I mean, they can do post production work fixing things too. Musicians do it all the time.
@bokonon82 there's no such thing as a live album if it's officially released
The musicians backing his voice are also tight. This harmony is beautiful.
Perfection is possible Chris Isaak got it in this song...beautiful thank you Chris😄😄😄👍👍👍👏👏👏
2024 brings me back to when I was a child in the 90’s and early 2000’s my father used to play this all the time ❤️ one of the greatest songs of all time
Ah... Memories. I was sitting at our car back seat when i was kid. This song was playing and i was watching stars through the window. I didn't understand english, but this melody and singers voice stuck in my head.
Wow, how old are you? Just curious!
