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 KZbin, 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!

Back in the eighties I had just returned from an evening out at a piano and jazz bar in the Atlanta area where I met the most enchanting woman of my life and this was playing on MTV. I had never heard it before and it blew me away. The evening and morning we spent together was something that changed and matured me as a young man in my twenties and she was much older than me. I never saw her again after that chance encounter. I think of her when I hear this and I think of what could've been, but I don't think I could have handled it. Some part of me held out through the years hoping to duplicate that magical chemistry with someone else and it took me many years to realize it was never going to happen..

This live did NOT disappoint. Even the back up singers. Just lovely.

[@morbidmanmusic]

it has been pitch corrected, as have the backing vocals... to even more degree. Wax in ears?? Now listen again. The original is not f'ed with like this.

[@D-DM222]

One of the most beautiful songs EVER. So beautiful that it makes me cry. This live performance sounds better than the recording.

[@p.f.703]

And it's not that often that the live version sounds a lot better...

[@common12]

Hauntingly beautiful and poignant! Masterpiece!

[@antondow87]

Agree too good 🤞

[@chrisisaak4796]

I want to say thanks for all the warm comments and likes... Oh well since I got too many messages over at my blue print account so I decided to isolate myself here and reach at to few of my fans without you I wouldn't have been here today. Kisses 💋to your lovely heart

[@geetaramlochan2647]

The voice just mesmerize you soul

[@keithgraham4747]

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.

My wife didn't care much for him until we got to see him live at Bridge School concert. Fantastic showman.

[@lemmy9809]

It looks so effortless ...beautiful..what a voice...to sustain a deep note like that is talent ❤

[@stephanietribuna8591]

I have always loved this song by Chris Isaak and it never gets old. It is just beautiful.

[@marilynmccormick3731]

Saten sheets, dim lights, sipping wine & this song. I get weak hearing him sing this.

[@ronnyparker]

Songs like this only happen so often in each generation. Truly blessed to hear this magic. Thank you Chris!!!!

[@ISignedUpBefore]

Take it apart every which way, this is one of the greatest songs of our time. Great performance and fine capture in sound and vision.

[@Luke.]

I enjoy many genres of music and artists, but this song remains my all time favorite. Chris Isaak is really underrated.

[@seanfitzgerald8454]

I'm 25 years old, just recently discovered this tune, if you can believe it. It's become one of my favorite songs of all time

[@nicolas-kk7vw]

same, i have 16

[@jboyer1435]

That's good, a real song writer singer. So rare these days.

[@jboyer1435]

Beautiful haunting melody, great lyric, ball is I n your court, don't screw it up.

[@IM4fLEX]

At 2:58 that tune is so good. NGL.

[@SMac-bq8sk]

Better late than never...you have good taste in music.

[@chrisroth6217]

My name is also Chris, and if ever I would’ve been a singer/musician-these are the perfect words, melody along with falsetto talent, that I could’ve ever dreamed of. Much respect forever-

[@rafaelsouza3472]

Masterpiece.. there aren't words to describe.. hopefully it continues to flow forever

[@Bodk-mr5pj]

Красавчик!!!

A timeless classic, Chris has such a beautiful voice, it pairs so nicely with the guitar.

@Chris Isaak You broke 5he mold on that song. Sure brings back memories.

[@danharp693]

@Chris Isaak If you are reading these posts, I'm amazed. If you are many thanks. You make amazing music. Thank you.

[@swimpy3838]

@Chris Isaak really ? Lol.

[@balkissclara]

Real talent right there sounds exactly like the recorded version. No autotune or other vocals to enhance his. This song will be a forever classic in my playlist

[@LindaShrader-ye6ij]

The very first time I heard this I was hooked!

[@baldbarber4642]

This man’s passion for what he does is so refreshing. I love this man and this band The world needs more of this ❤️

[@ronaldpetit9607]

Dead on sir. This was some of the last of the age of innocence in the 70s. We need this kind of music again to lift our spirits.

[@franzlonardibazanmontoya6240]

Más de esto y menos del obsceno regueton.

Simply the BEST sound mixing I’ve heard on a live band ,you can hear every individual instrument which absolutely makes a difference instead of a ‘wall of sound’ …great song by a great artist accompanied by great musicians

[@chrispyle2942]

Im not gonna sit here and let you slander the Wall of Sound and by extension the late great Owsley Stanley. Aka Bear, the mad scientist, audio technician and LSD chemist that rolled with the Grateful dead in the 60's and 70's. He may have been in jail for the creation of the Wall of Sound. But his work was certainly the inspiration, and the result was the loudest and clearest sound mix ever produced at a live event. Then a few years later advancements in audio tech made it outdated and the wall came down.

[@craigschepers714]

simple is the best .this is a period piece ..adds to the stark reality ..beautifully done

[@markphipps985]

I wasn’t referring to that ,I simply meant that when a mix isn’t done properly,all you hear is a garbled mess leading to a ‘wall of sound’ from which you can’t distinguish who’s playing what etc ….sorry for any confusion caused 👍

[@brunomoura7719]

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.

[@robbie8085]

I have this tune stuck in my head for three weeks

[@antonzgonnikov864]

What a song! It brings me back to the days of my childhood. With my inner glance I see myself as a 10-years boy living in endless bright summer day filled with joy and happiness without any particular reasons.

[@jonparker3994]

Wow!😂

[@user-yq8zg2hp2t]

As a teenager I used to listen to it all the time. A spent all my pocket money of the month to buy the record. I still have it. This song represents for me my melancholic youth. Still love it.

[@stevensavoury7148]

This is what perfection sounds like …. Absolute legendary

[@markgilger2367]

Unrequited love expressed so beautifully !!!!!

[@BrotherLemur]

The harmony on "nobody" at the end gives me chills every time.

[@davidyardley512]

This appears to just be Chris and the drummer as the bassist steps away from the microphone.
