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 :)
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!
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 .😍😍
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"...
Wicked Game Chris Isaak The world was on fire and no one could save me but you It's strange what desire will make foolish people do I'd never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you And 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 (this girl is only gonna break your heart) What a wicked game you played 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 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 people do I'd never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you And 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 (this girl is only gonna break your heart) With you (this girl is only gonna break your heart) No, I (this girl is only gonna break your heart) (This girl is only gonna break your heart) Nobody loves no one Songwriters: Chris Isaak
