Thought I'd film this one a little differently and by that I mean stare at the camera for five minutes. In all honesty though, I adore this song and wanted to portray that. Let me know in the comments below how long you could keep eye contact for!
Thank you to Marc Rapson for his lovely arrangement!

Single-handedly one of the most intimate music videos I’ve ever had the privilege of watching. Non verbal communication is raw, and to know that you’re singing behind your eyes, behind your expression… it’s the feeling of a kiss without the kiss. Thank you for your art.

[@thrownforaloop57]

That was beautifully put, thank you

[@richardbrophy4120]

@@thrownforaloop57 I agree, very well put. Perhaps there is a market like Harlequin romance novels made for men, real men who adore chics like this bros !

[@user-ww4xj2yn7f]

I was going to say something very similar regarding the non verbal communications, but no need to, this dude nailed it. Being that close up and looking straight into your emotions, your face, eyes and lips,... spot on, the feeling of a kiss without the kiss. Well done Janet, I sincerely pray for your continued recovery.

[@valkenburgert]

That is one of the best comments I've seen on KZbin. Thank you, beautifully put indeed.

[@paulneil2524]

I love the Original and I've heard countless covers, but Only Janet seems to understand what this song is about and it just pours out of her. This isn't a cover, this is an emotional upgrade. 😭 and it makes me cry more... Damn you Devlin 😥

[@mishelle6315]

Okay, this is one of my "don't you dare touch this" songs. No one can ever do it justice besides the original artist. Except this. This does it justice. This does it dreamy justice.

[@AliceWonderland89]

well, consider listening to daisy grays cover, too

[@FlyRiverFly]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/joS7mZKCba6IrKM Janet Devlin is good but Lindsey Skeye is phenomenal

[@gabestaley9835]

Yes!, yes it does.

[@JobHuntingAbroad]

Look for Wicked Games Glen and Ronan, also Irish, also amazing! Enjoy.....loads of Irish talent on KZbin

[@chelseaflint7964]

Honestly I'm the opposite this is one of those those songs that's just amazing no matter what I love so many covers of this song but 2 personal favourites are johnnyswim and Corey Taylor

[@trirycheguy9919]

No disrespect to Chris Isaak. He did great with this song, but Chris if you are reading this...Thank you SO MUCH for making this song for Janet. Janet Thank YOU for covering it. This was made for YOU! If this were a home run in baseball, there is no park ever made. No stadium large enough to contain this BLAST!!!

[@janetdevlin]

If you like it, please share it! ❤️ Lets see how many shares we can get before it gets demonetised 😂

[@thebigcrapper5592]

[@janetdevlin]

[@drbrieffreund2694]

How does the monetation works at KZbin?

[@justshane8979]

I don’t know what it is, but after you cover a song, I find I like that song more. I haven’t noticed that before. I’m glad I subscribed. Truly unique voice. Best cover of Jolene I’ve ever heard, too. Keep on keeping on. Have a happy rest of your day. Byyyyeeee. Ha.

[@DavidMcNeal-fg9bd]

I love the song choice and creative video. When you stare into someone’s eyes that long you really feel a connection to them and there emotions. It also helps, when they are as beautiful as you are. 😉

[@60viking]

I'm seeing her emotions on her quiet face, out standing.

[@christinepeterson2328]

😛🤐

[@christinepeterson2328]

Ju like you

[@lunafringe10]

Projecting your own emotions , not hers

[@fippps]

This version just blew my mind. The pain in Janet's voice reflected in every micro facial expression... oh my... she is a sea of emotion!

[@reversalqueen9506]

She is growing up. Can't forget her auditions for nothing. Such a mysterious enchanted Celtic type of voice.

[@blackbob3358]

as soon as anybody mention "celtic" i think "first mistake".

[@treyainsworth6914]

Angelic voice

[@BenSmith-zj2qy]

Need to do Knights in white satin

[@weerawanphanarom4226]

Agreed.

[@pascalwittmer-braun6025]

Sounds american to me.

[@MrMarky2000]

How can somebody make a hauntingly beautiful song so much more hauntingly beautiful??? Not only that but put a simple video with it. Only Janet devlin could do that

[@sctr1235]

The soul piercing stare. Just something so beautiful about the whole production.

[@janetdevlin]

Thank you! ❤️

[@DriverDan241]

OMG ! That was INCREDIBLE ! the look in your eyes. The hurt in your soul is evident if anyone watches your videos.

[@johnmilham8243]

Always loved this song, Would see Chris Isaak every tour basically just to hear this...I sang it at my Wifes wake as her farewell. When you sing it, all of its power is restored and all of its meaning said and unsaid, sings with you direct to my heart. So so beautiful I can barely hold it - thank you!

[@chrisf8904]

This is the most moving performance I can remember witnessing. I had to pause the video at the end for a minute before typing this. People forget the powerful effect of just looking at someone. No talking, no phones..... just look at each other. Deep Breaths........ respect & love.

[@kyliebaby1391]

The first version I’ve heard that really expresses the fight with emotional pain and addiction. Amazing.

[@netashalevaughn9846]

This is one of the most beautiful things i have ever heard. Shoot for the stars. AMAZING. 💖⭐⭐⭐🌙

[@SnakeBitBob1982]

Every once in a great while an artist melds with a song so much that they and the song become one. The beautifully unique vocals and hauntingly soulful eyes in this video are so perfectly matched. I was mesmerized throughout the video and never wanted it to end...

[@b2addict561]

Brilliant!! No lyrics needed, the story is told through your eyes and the subtle facial expressions!! This is not just a music video, it is a work of art!!

[@IanRM]

This song was made for Janet. Best version I have ever heard . . superb.

[@kiltedanais]

I haven't watched this all the way through without turning away...until now. and when you tear up ever so slightly, I did do. So much emotion, real honest emotion that you've shared in those eyes and face. tiny movements in the facial muscles tell so much. I wish I could reach out and hug that sorrowful child inside those eyes. Wish I could bring light and make it stay there, btu I wish I could do that for myself too. You are incredible, never forget that. Our world needs you, now more than ever.

[@louiseshepherd5323]

I couldn't have said that better myself. Exactly what I think and feel

[@johnkammerman4273]

I stumbled across your "I see fire" and I can't stop listening to your songs. Your voice makes me feel safe, vulnerable and alive all at once.

[@JustMe-mz3te]

I just cant. Her voice is so amazing, it literally makes me cry.

[@orb2150tx]

Damn girl. You just cut thru glass with those beautiful pipes. I hope that life has the same beauty for everyone who listens to ya.👍

[@NihongoGuy]

Another case of just how much a talent show on TV can do to contribute to the music world. Janet has a mystical voice, I can't say she "sounds like" anyone, as I've never heard any voice like her's.

[@frankfedi5751]

i just want to listen to Janet for the rest of my life. after reading her book i wish i could give her a hug and say please live.

[@paulmatthews5810]

How you ain't on every radio station and made millions yet I can't explain. Fantastic.

[@wayneburrows8484]

Your heart must have been in a dark place singing this. Your eyes show much emotions while your face is blank. Truly amazing video. Bet u couldn’t replicate this video now. you now have so much more confidence and happiness it radiates of u into your music

[@gabestaley9835]

I can't help myself. I watch this one over and over. The love and the pain all on this face. Its poetic. It perfect

[@cjdavis825]

My God, the tears in your eyes, wanting to fall , Janet , you Are The Greatest !!!

[@euroshfl]

You're saying this cause to you never heard Diana's take on this song 😉

[@flotickle7189]

What a interpretation !!!! O....M....G.... I had goose bumps all over my body. You're one of those beautiful artists Janet. Keep it up ! And don't mess up your talent in foolish things like other recents singers.

[@thelonewanderer.]

Gosh this is how you make people fall in love with you, staring into your eyes with your angelic voice in the background. Absolutely love it!

[@MrMarky2000]

A version of this magnificent song that I never tire of. Makes the hairs on my arms stand up

[@doublej7424]

Must admit I just love JANETS eyes so hypnotic…and this video wow

[@denisdesjardins784]

I still can't maintain eye contact throughout this video, I always get a tear.

[@scottmarshall1897]

Stop staring into my soul! Janet, that was beautiful.

[@dwaynecolson6180]

You have a voice of an angel 😇 💗 💖. There is nothing you can't sing 🎶, and be a perfect song. You have a most beautiful soul and heart ❤. Janet, from northern Ireland, ❤ the world is yours and we are so thankful to be able to join you. God bless and thank you again.

[@grimeygothess8632]

Sensational ,Enchanting & Captivating . Incredible Janet

[@mikehipps1015]

Is it weird that I couldn't take my eyes off hers the entire song? Truly amazing how expressive they are. Just wow.

[@karldavis3041]

She has amazing eyes and cheek bone structure. Some extra makeup would enhance her cheek bones too

[@jamesmcquivey3608]

Janet... I don't know what to say. I don't think there's words that can speak how amazing your voice sounds. It's like your voice is literally the pain I feel inside. It's just beautiful... Thank you for being here.

[@smokeysteve8851]

Janet You are Amazing Remember that Never let anyone say anything different if they do then there just jealous Your amazing .

[@Diablo3000]

This is absolutely the best cover Of Chiss Isacks classic I have ever heard. Janet, you are an angel.

[@ingvarelle6036]

That is brilliant. You barely moved your face but your eyes seemed to react to every word. That is a first for me to see. Genius!

[@dakroww]

I just found your music this morning for the first time and I cannot stop listening to all your covers... beauty personified.

[@CrAzyAsSiLeNt]

Me too.. she's amazing

[@bmoneyktm]

Same. So much emotion in her voice..

[@sherrylynch7339]

How does her face show so much passion and coenside with the lyrics so perfectly without her actually singing in the video that is shown, I mean I know it is her singing still... it's quite amazing and she is gorgeous too...

[@RageYourSoul]

The more I watch, the more I fall in love, I have to stop watching. I hardly connect with anyone but you are such an amazing soul. Wish you the best in life.

[@j.w.318]

I was closing my eyes for a moment and it felt like half an hour till you finished. The most beautiful and dreamy Cover of any song I've ever heard. Thank you Janet

[@jordanmccahon5527]

You have such a phenomenal voice and that cover is absolutely beautiful

[@banjocatcreative2968]

Janet, your artistry here is beautiful. The language of the eyes has more to tell than words could ever convey.

[@petermathewvanaardt74]

Aaah my late night angel food for my soul! 2am in West Africa, horrible heat, horrible pretty much everything. Then I look into those beautiful, beautiful eyes, pools deep in a jungle of emotions to dive into and be both lost and cleansed of all the stress. Then your voice, a journey above it all, flying above the thunder clouds of filth and lies and scammers and danger to float in the crystal clear purity of your voice. Unique. One of a kind, as rare as the most beautiful diamonds found here. Thank precious angel. You are truly, a blessing to all. God bless you until I can again find time to escape to the arms of your voice. Luv you always

[@noskillzdad5504]

I was not ready for this. It's 2022: I've heard this songs so many times on repeat that I cant just listen to it again; when I saw your cover, I said, ok, that's a good way to listen to it again, she probably added her own twists so let's give it a go. I was not ready for this. I was not. a minute or two into the song you had me in tears. What a beautiful intimate rendition. What a deep soul you have. (On a side note, now that you can see the most watched parts of a video, you can see that people watched this one from beginning to end of the song)

[@hectoromardiaz6763]

Simply amazing interpretation, simplicity is perfection, your voice, a piano and your eyes that fall in love. Thanks Janet

[@janetdevlin]

Héctor Omar Díaz thank you hetor ❤️

[@brianmurillo6607]

[@davidstinson2848]

Simply stunning. Beautiful song by a beautiful girl.

Such a beautiful and unique voice

[@Vik470]

Your voice brought out the real emotions in the song. Perfect video to accompany it. Delivers the unspoken feelings perfectly. So deep... You are brilliant. Please convey the message to the whole team who worked on it.

[@marcuseaston4640]

a beautiful interpretation of this haunting Chris Isaak song...oh my...thank you....

[@andrewriggs1988]

Deeply, impossibly, unfathomably beautiful.

[@abi_w02]

This is flawless. I love all your covers but this comes out as one of the best imo!

[@oshikuru8594]

I honestly can't believe how much I loved how you sang this. Keep on keeping on, with that lovely voice.

[@malachydouglas16]

Probably the most engaging video I’ve watched on KZbin . No gimmicks, just Co Tyrone class.

[@katiak74]

OK, girl, your are not from this world. Tell us the truth. I don't know what touch me more, if your angelical voice, or your hypnotic eyes! Is so unbelievable that just your face can tell us a history and bring so deep emotion. Congratulations, I have no words to express how much I enjoy hear your voice singing anything. I live in Brazil, but I am cheering to your success around the world!

[@dangrice3050]

WOW! I felt entranced. Couldn't look away or stop focusing on you nor the elements and nuances of your voice. Very moving and powerful! Kudos. Bravo, Ms. Janet!

[@OceanBreathWork]

A very simple but powerful video. Amazing idea. Love it.

[@johnsampson7426]

O my gawd...you squeeze my heart like no other cover artiste could...your emotions flow through your eyes like a flood..

[@husky8243]

Time stood still when I heard this.....Truly....

Both haunting and beautiful at the same time. Thank you Janet.

So beautiful, you give every song a whole new meaning. Such a breath of fresh air. I just hope we have much more of you to come.

[@runic13]

I recently went through a world changing loss. I felt like I couldn't recover. I'm still on the fence about it. But if I can look into those impossible eyes and sing this song back into them...then I have courage. Thank you for that and keep on inspiring please!!!

[@squidzmusic8566]

I don't know - but I've been told, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I'm here to say; I'm the beholder of such eyes filled prior, I didn't before now, realise what beauty was!

[@neokoga]

It was kind of powerful, like you were trying to speak with your eyes in a way. It made me tear up a bit honestly. You always have a way of conveying such emotion in your voice and I think this managed to do it in a very different way, but I really liked it.

[@janetdevlin]

Your face, that song and the way you sang it did make me break down in tears and made me realise what I'm doing and why. Covid took my brother and its obvious its effected me more than I want to admit. Amazing what music can do. God bless you and everyone.
