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.

      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 UA-cam, 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!

      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 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 is absolutely brilliant, especially for those unfortunate to have experienced true but unrequited love.

    This song involves just about all of the senses. Blows through you like a cool breeze... I'm reading the various comments. All are correct. Music is amazing.

    Love everything about this, the simplicity in his performance, the sound, THE song, the voice, the slow pace...When it's good, it's good and nothing else is needed.👌

    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

    What a hell of a voice!! His voice's tone seems to bring so much harmony towards simple words. It's almost like this music has been gifted for anybody but C. Isaak's voice.
