Wicked game. A Chris Isaak song.

[@Nanarchy_2k7]

Holy crap. The tone and slower speed completely changes the meaning and feel. It's like listening to Johnny Cash do Hurt. You owned this song.

[@barefootwanderer]

"It's like listening to Johnny Cash do Hurt" I thought the same thing

[@j0hnnycache]

Thought the same thing. Raw and real.

[@CricketGirrl]

How odd. I remember listening to this when it came out, and I didn't think this version was so different.

[@cindr78]

I just left a comment on another of Frank's songs about singing Johnny Cash Hurt and God's gonna cut you down!! ❤❤❤

[@cynditalks]

I agree reminded me of Johnny 😢

[@franktody]

i’m 14 and been struggling with my mental health worse than ever before, and i know this is only the beginning of it all. i’ve felt numb and haven’t really been able to feel much at all. this helps me feel, helps me cry, helps me heal. thank you

[@Dragonflydreams333]

😢🫶🏻

[@ColePalmer-sk8pt]

hang in there man. when i was 14 i was in a similar situation. pick up an instrument, or write a poem or something. get your feelings out and just know its okay to feel whatever youre feeling, and you arent alone. it gets better, you just gotta keep pushing. be proud of yourself for the small things. keep going no matter what❤️

[@Zeepjeliefs]

I've noticed what helps me, when I'm feeling down, I help my mom arround the house. It takes my mind of things and I love my mom and it makes me feel a little better to see her being happy. Just something random I wanted to share with you. I so hope you will start to feel better, take it one day at the time and little steps are still steps ❤

[@Hyperlooper]

Hey bud. I know it doesn't sound true, but it does get better.

[@pattyo214]

Found you today. Closed my eyes, rocked in my chair and harmonized with you. Thank you dear Frank ♥

[@gimenaarganaraz4699]

Frank, you randomly showed up on my recommendations and I can't stop listening your music, and it is indeed YOUR music because you make every song your own. Simply, magical. A big hug from Argentina

[@PeekabooYa]

I hope Chris hears this version one day. I believe he would be very pleased. ❤

[@johnfitzgerald1957]

Jesus Frank. You’ve got so many great covers to watch, when I watch one of your originals it stabs my heart more so than than the covers. I cry most times but also smile at a soul with so much depth and wisdom as yours. Thank you so much for sharing your music with me, us, the world. Thank you so much.

[@j0hnnycache]

This guy came out of nowhere with some great music and im all here for it. Keep up the great work Frank. I hope you are doing well and keep pursuing this passion of yours.

Your voice and melancholy here are a perfect match, Frank. Enjoyed this. BTW, Marshall never moved a muscle! 🙂

[@FrankWatkinson]

Thanks Larry , he knew he wouldn't get a walk until i finished.

[@M.E.FProd.]

You're awesome Frank! I love your simplistic but heavy hitting approach. Sometimes just a man with his voice, a guitar and his raw preformance is all you need. Stay Healthy!❤

[@SABBATHBLACK]

In the city where I live, the sky is cloudy, a drizzle falls and I listen to this in my headphones, it's perfect, the moment, thank you ☁️

[@thelightfinally8540]

U dont need to get to the highs like the original. This is your version, and its amazingly powerfull as it is. You're amazing 💜

[@GrannyGamer-wl5bg]

You have taken all of my all time favourites, sang them with a depth that comes from a life lived, made me cry, smile, feel, sing and remember, Thank you Frank, Thank you!

[@k.fuentes7448]

Mr. Watkinson, your voice has captured my heart.

[@zeeynep08]

AMAZING, this song doesn’t have to be sung high and it fits you perfectly

[@liquidelectrum]

To me, you are a legend. Beauty and simplicity. Deep thanks from my heart.

Wicked song, by a Wicked Guitar Player. My mind has exploded into an insanely happy moment. Smiling. Hands clapping. Well done Frank. Much love and appreciation from foggy California

[@dans7528]

There’s only a few singers I’ve heard that can verbalize such deep feelings in a song .. Leonard Cohen , Cash and Frank Watkinson are them .. 💕

What an excellent rendition. Haunting.❤❤❤❤❤

[@wendygizmorazzmatazz8899]

This made me cry. That's a compliment because it touched my soul.

[@opopina]

I was feeling quite rushed and a bit anxious, but as I listened to your voice, along with the gentle melody, I began to slow down and felt a great sense of peace. Afterwards, I listened to other songs performed by you and I've come to realize that your unique style of interpretation, regardless of the song, brings me peace.

[@FrankWatkinson]

That makes me smile.

[@Rehzix]

I could listen to this on a loop all night

[@shawnreap]

Chris Isaak is 67 now - I doubt even HE can hit the same high note of the original anymore. The way you do it fits the song just fine. 👍🏻

[@RomanaQueenLove]

Get this man to a Millon subscribers now! He deserves his golden play button plaque from KZbin! ❤

[@danielnietourena416]

Fantastic adaptations, Mr. Watkinson. One of your videos appeared in the KZbin suggestions and I started watching it for initial curiosity. But if you start listening, you can't stop until you finish. Perfect tempo, beautiful arpeggios, rich and deep guitar sound, and the same for your voice that, although different, sometimes remembrances Leonard Cohen.

[@shaundallape2887]

I really love this song and the way you "Johnny Cashed" it , please take that as a compliment, I love it! I'm binge watching your videos. You cover Alot of my favorite songs
