    Thought I'd film this one a little differently and by that I mean stare at the camera for five minutes. In all honesty though, I adore this song and wanted to portray that. Let me know in the comments below how long you could keep eye contact for!

    Single-handedly one of the most intimate music videos I’ve ever had the privilege of watching. Non verbal communication is raw, and to know that you’re singing behind your eyes, behind your expression… it’s the feeling of a kiss without the kiss. Thank you for your art.

      I was going to say something very similar regarding the non verbal communications, but no need to, this dude nailed it. Being that close up and looking straight into your emotions, your face, eyes and lips,... spot on, the feeling of a kiss without the kiss. Well done Janet, I sincerely pray for your continued recovery.

    No disrespect to Chris Isaak. He did great with this song, but Chris if you are reading this...Thank you SO MUCH for making this song for Janet. Janet Thank YOU for covering it. This was made for YOU! If this were a home run in baseball, there is no park ever made. No stadium large enough to contain this BLAST!!!

    I love the Original and I've heard countless covers, but Only Janet seems to understand what this song is about and it just pours out of her. This isn't a cover, this is an emotional upgrade. 😭 and it makes me cry more... Damn you Devlin 😥

    Always loved this song, Would see Chris Isaak every tour basically just to hear this...I sang it at my Wifes wake as her farewell. When you sing it, all of its power is restored and all of its meaning said and unsaid, sings with you direct to my heart. So so beautiful I can barely hold it - thank you!

    I haven't watched this all the way through without turning away...until now. and when you tear up ever so slightly, I did do. So much emotion, real honest emotion that you've shared in those eyes and face. tiny movements in the facial muscles tell so much. I wish I could reach out and hug that sorrowful child inside those eyes. Wish I could bring light and make it stay there, btu I wish I could do that for myself too. You are incredible, never forget that. Our world needs you, now more than ever.

    Aaah my late night angel food for my soul! 2am in West Africa, horrible heat, horrible pretty much everything. Then I look into those beautiful, beautiful eyes, pools deep in a jungle of emotions to dive into and be both lost and cleansed of all the stress. Then your voice, a journey above it all, flying above the thunder clouds of filth and lies and scammers and danger to float in the crystal clear purity of your voice. Unique. One of a kind, as rare as the most beautiful diamonds found here. Thank precious angel. You are truly, a blessing to all. God bless you until I can again find time to escape to the arms of your voice. Luv you always

    It's 2022: I've heard this songs so many times on repeat that I cant just listen to it again; when I saw your cover, I said, ok, that's a good way to listen to it again, she probably added her own twists so let's give it a go.
    I was not ready for this. I was not. a minute or two into the song you had me in tears. What a beautiful intimate rendition. What a deep soul you have.

    5 years ago? I've been under a rock! UA-cam keeps suggesting a lot of old stuff, despite me watching current things. Janet Devlin, I love your singing; and I love your face; and everything you do! I have fallen in love with you! and I know there is nothing I can do.

    I like well Janet Devlin's voice. Her great vocal arrives, together with the playing piano.
