Wicked Game | Chris Isaak Cover | 1989 Hit Song

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

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 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)

Yes, those are the beautiful and powerful lyrics of the legend song Wicked Game by the legend Chris Issak.

Chris Isaak's sultry ballad 'Wicked Game' was a modest hit the first time around, but it has grown over the years to become one of the world's most iconic love songs.
The seductive track has been covered by many other artists, and featured in countless movies, TV shows and adverts over the years.
This has even led to Dazed magazine pondering whether it might be the most influential love song in modern music.

The story of the song (which really excites me)

From

The song is often thought of as a ballad about unrequited love, but Isaak has said that the song was actually inspired by a telephone call from a woman seeking to arrange a casual sexual affair, and is about "what happens when you have a strong attraction to people that aren't necessarily good for you".
Speaking to Songfacts, Isaak said: "This one I wrote really late at night and it was written in a short time, because I remember that a girl had called me and said, 'I want to come over and talk to you,' and 'talk' was a euphemism.
"And she said, 'I want to come over and talk to you until you're no longer able to stand up.' And I said, 'Okay, you're coming over.' And as soon as I hung up I thought, 'Oh, my God. I know she's gonna be trouble. She's always been trouble. She's a wildcat. And here I am, I'm going to get killed, but I'm doing this.'
"And I wrote 'Wicked Game': 'world's on fire and no one can save me but you.' It's like you start thinking about it, and by the time she came over to the house, I had the song written. And I think she was probably upset because I was more excited by the song! I was like, 'Yes, you're gorgeous, baby. But listen to this song!'"

It became American hit in January 1991.
It reached number 6 in the US, and soon ranked highly in other countries. In the UK, it surprisingly only peaked at number 10.

Personally, I love this song because:

• I love the mysterious guitar arrangement of it! It is not like whatever I heard before
• Myself experienced a heartbreak from falling for someone like that too. We ran into each other, I could not help but falling though I tried not to, then I found out he was not the one I should fall for because it ended up hurting me for a half year.
  (Crazy this is one of the first songs he played guitar and sang for me haha)
• This song is really hard to play the guitar, sing – and do the backing vocal alone, at the same time, and do only one track one take. I love challenging myself like that. If I can master this song, I’ll know how to manage my breath during the performance!
• I love how authentic the story behind it is, and maybe many people can relate to this when they hear the story. I love how stories like this are written to be hit songs! We love something that we can relate!

What about you? Which song you can relate to your situation at the moment?

Have a good day there and at the end, I still want to say” No matter how it’s gonna be, just let yourself fall inlove and never stop falling in love!" 🤗
