Anyone who has ever loved another with ALL their heart & Soul, then loses them... knows the level of pain that follows. It never leaves you. One can only try to survive. This song speaks of this. One never wants to go through that pain again. I've carried that broken heart for nearly 30 years. It still feels like it happened yesterday. Nothing makes it go away. This song speaks to my heart, timeless. Just beautiful
@@Lrat-ey5di Thank you for your kindness, I have sought out counseling on/off for years. The dreams/nightmares still come/go. That relationship robbed me of my best years. I still pray to God to take that pain out of my heart and mind. Maybe one day... I will find some happy and peace before I die. Amen😪🙏 I wouldn't wish this heartache on anyone. God Bless
Guys please check this Danish artist doing a cover of this wonderful song. ua-cam.com/video/S56pFeXfm10/v-deo.html I promise you will not be disappointed. Let me know what you think of this version of the song... ps. Listen with headphones for epic sound. ❤️
@Tabula Rasa why are you only referring to me and not to the dozens who made a similar comment as mine? Go wash your dishes sweetie and Have a nice day!
I was driving through Amarillo, Texas, when this came on my radio for the first time. I pulled onto the shoulder and turned up the radio. It's such a stunningly beautiful song.
For me, this is a masterpiece for all time. the most intimate, sexy, full of life and love song. The energy of life, space, the ocean of beauty. Thank you for these emotions. best wishes from Russia.
Thanks for your love and support. It has been a hard time for me going through this but your love and support keeps me going and standing strong in this difficult times . I do read your heartwarming comments and I truly appreciate all you've done for me throughout the years.
@@offlcialkimhyunjoong5222 You may not realize it, but you do people good in simply sharing that you have personal struggles. I expect that many amateur musicians, who admire your talent and performances such as this, also suffer the gnawing fear that their own lives will never be enough by comparison. But going through deep water is something we all share, at the end of which maybe we become grateful for the lives we do have, rather than the one we imagine being lived by others. Praying for you man, for a joyful future.
Which either means that there is no person who loves another person, or, deciphered grammatically not culturally, it means that there is no person who doesn't love another person, so everyone at least loves one person. Which is it?
my wife and i saw him in about '70 near annapolis md in an old tobacco barn. a birthday party. people in the rafter everyone rockn out. wow. what memories.
Total perfection. This live performance is the best rendition of this song I have ever heard. I have watched this video many times now and that's why I bought the BluRay from this concert. Thanks for the music, Chris.
@@bobbyhulll8737 Yes it is. I like that I can hear every single instrument clearly like the fantastic guitars and the rhythm section. Chris' impeccable voice makes it perfect. The guys have been playing together for decades now and the different sections of the song are done perfectly. The great audience and the cool location and the nice costumes contribute to the performance. For me, this song is about the inevitable heartbreak in everyone's life. But in the end every heart will be broken someday. And it's still better to try to do something good in this world.
Thanks for your love and support. It has been a hard time for me going through this but your love and support keeps me going and standing strong in this difficult times . I do read your heartwarming comments and I truly appreciate all you've done for me throughout the years
I was in Chris HS speech & debate class. He kicked ass in debate tournaments. I was in humor interpretation. He sorta ran his own at school Senior year. He gave me confidence saying how I was good. I'm so happy he got his break . He graduated in 76. STAGG HIGH STOCKTON, CA...me 75. Still alive.
In my opinion, this is one of the greatest songs of all time. His vocals and the lead guitar are memorizing. Will never get tired of listening to this classic!!
Love this track. So clean in this performance, and its a sad fated world that he weaves. It won't ever be irrelevant because the lyrics are so universal. Thank you forever, Chris!
The world was on fire and no one could save me but you It's strange what desire would 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 What a wicked game to 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 It's strange what desire would make foolish people do I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you 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
Voice of liquid gold dripping on the microphone. Mister Isaak ages very slow. 10 years passes but his appearance doesn't change. His voice stays the same. That's why he possesses the ability to perform this track endlessly
All these years later. Still sounds like when this sing first came out. He just has a awesome voice!!! Could listen to this All day and nit get tired of it!!!
I've always loved this song, and this live version is absolutely GREAT. Chris has such a unique tone and vocal style -- you can't ever miss that it's him singing.
Chris Isaack, a timeless Legend. Well respected and loved globally, for his great Tracks and his Voice, that transends so many similar qualities of those 2 earlier great Artists, that have passed on, but never forgotten Legends, in the King - Elvis and Roy Orbisson. Huge Respect, Chris!.
Few bands can achieve that level of perfection live. Studio recording is vastly different to laying it bear for the audience. Beautiful 🌹💕 performance . Indeed it is a wicked game to play." I never knew I could love somebody like you. No, III don't wanna fall in love".........too late😔
His voice is amazing. This song never gets old. Fun fact, Chris Isaak had a cameo in The Silence of the lambs, he played one of the Swat Team during the Elevator scene when Hannibal Lector escapes from his cage. Thanks for sharing this 👍
He was popular in the 80,s and I don't recall of ever seeing him or listening to his music.But now I'm 70 yrs old and constantly listen to all his music.
Thanks for your love and support. It has been a hard time for me going through this but your love and support keeps me going and standing strong in this difficult times . I do read your heartwarming comments and I truly appreciate all you've done for me throughout the years.
Every time I hear this song, I think about every moment in my life that has past, those moments live in a desert by an ocean. I’m walking thru the desert watching every part of my life.
As a young lad on building sites ( when you were allowed radios back then ) i remember this tune vividly, and living it many time overs. A magical timeless tune that'll be played in many more decades to come
HIM did a pretty good job of it, but Three Days Grace did a fantastic job of it. Shame that it was only available as an iTunes Exclusive for One-X. Tho people have uploaded it on UA-cam.
He has a great voice. I love this song-hell, I _lived_ this song. Lol. He's got huge numbers of loyal fans, of course, but when I first heard this song (back when motorcars had fake horse heads on the front) this guy was going to be huge with hundreds of famous songs. Why hasn't that happened? He created his masterpiece right off the bat, and has just chugged along in 2nd gear ever since. Well it seems like it anyway. Am I wrong?
I just saw Chris Isaak perform this song last night in the pouring rain. He joked and danced and rocked the crowd despite getting drenched for over an hour (Mountain Winery stage is not covered). He sounded great as well. A truly humble, fantastic performer!
I've lived this song for decades. Had it first on a cassette, but my husband's old stereo system, ate it up. Thankful I was able to download here. Beautiful song
Not wanting to sound like a wise guy, but actually the song first came out in 1989 and remained widely unnoticed until David Lynch used an instrumental version of it in his 1990 movie "Wild at Heart", which prompted Lee Chesnut (yes, that's his name), a music director from a radio station in Atlanta, Georgia, who loved Lynch's movies, to play the song up and down on his airwaves, thus making the song hit the top 10 of various charts in 1991.
@@bodenlosedosenhose1590 thanks for the additional info..I heard it first in 91 when it was getting a lot of airplay and assumed it came out the same year. Anyway,the song is still beautiful even after 3 decades.
@@frontlever-di7gt It sure is. I discovered it a bit later due my year of birth, but never really paid attention to it and just lately started getting into this song and others from Isaak.
The power of this song just hits hard...really hard. i mean im sure a lot of us have gone through this, a person whom you really want.....but you know you shouldn't.
This is simply one of the most beautiful, yearning, haunting songs I've ever heard in my life. That guitar just does something to my insides that I don't have a name for . Man- some people are just truly magnificent musicians. To invent this melody and have that voice . .. wow
Thanks for your love and support. It has been a hard time for me going through this but your love and support keeps me going and standing strong in this difficult times . I do read your heartwarming comments and I truly appreciate all you've done for me throughout the years
Emotions come through better live, this recording is equal musically to the studio version but with Isaak’s emotional habitation of the lyric live makes this superior in my view. LOVE LIVE MUSIC!!
![Lana Del Rey & Chris Isaak - Wicked Game [Live at the Hollywood Bowl - October 10th, 2019]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/nguuo344j00/mqdefault.jpg)
Arguably better than the original studio version. It’s rare when a live performance is as good or better than the studio version.
Agreed !!

Not wanting to sound like a wise guy, but actually the song first came out in 1989 and remained widely unnoticed until David Lynch used an instrumental version of it in his 1990 movie "Wild at Heart", which prompted Lee Chesnut (yes, that's his name), a music director from a radio station in Atlanta, Georgia, who loved Lynch's movies, to play the song up and down on his airwaves, thus making the song hit the top 10 of various charts in 1991.
@@bodenlosedosenhose1590 thanks for the additional info..I heard it first in 91 when it was getting a lot of airplay and assumed it came out the same year. Anyway,the song is still beautiful even after 3 decades.
@@frontlever-di7gt It sure is. I discovered it a bit later due my year of birth, but never really paid attention to it and just lately started getting into this song and others from Isaak.
Love the song too. I clearly remember when Beverly Hills 90210 played it. I was in 5th grade.
The power of this song just hits hard...really hard. i mean im sure a lot of us have gone through this, a person whom you really want.....but you know you shouldn't.
Hindsight tells me I can rekindle reach flame each night with this track.
Masterpiece ... anyone can feel his voice❤️
Just love his voice. He knows what music's about.
This is my youth, my memories, my inner life. This will be always and forever a very special Song for me. Thx, Chis.
This is simply one of the most beautiful, yearning, haunting songs I've ever heard in my life. That guitar just does something to my insides that I don't have a name for . Man- some people are just truly magnificent musicians. To invent this melody and have that voice . .. wow
Makes me think of where I've been where I am and where I'll end. Hauntingly beautiful!
Thanks for your love and support. It has been a hard time for me going through this but your love and support keeps me going and standing strong in this difficult times . I do read your heartwarming comments and I truly appreciate all you've done for me throughout the years
It’s always great when a song really speaks to you. This one does.
Emotions come through better live, this recording is equal musically to the studio version but with Isaak’s emotional habitation of the lyric live makes this superior in my view. LOVE LIVE MUSIC!!
From a different planet. Thanks for sharing. Maybe one of the greatest song ever
