我曾经沉默地、毫无希望地爱过你。我既忍受着羞怯，又忍受着嫉妒的折磨。我曾经那样真诚那样温柔地爱过你，愿上帝赐给你的也像我一样坚贞如铁。——普希金《我曾经爱过你》
Chris Issak的音乐，可套用一句俗话：真酷。这位现在已经，在当时却不是经常被提起的歌手，在世界末唤醒了人们内心的对神秘自然的向往。Issak的作品， 常让人联想起荒芜的沙漠、印第安部落的篝火、伏都教的仪式、丛林中的鼓声等等充满神秘色彩的事物。他的音乐是相当复古的，直接从50年代的摇滚作 品中吸取精华，但他的作品撵弃了前者喧嚣热闹的成分，而将其音乐中悠扬舒缓的旋律渲染到了极致。这张专辑在出版后，一直不受欢迎，直到着名导演David Lynch在自己的名片《我心狂野》中选用了专辑中的一曲Wiched Game后，Issak才大器晚成出了名。只要有才华就一定有机会。
The world was on fire
No one could save me but you.
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 want to fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
No, I don’t want to fall in love
[This love 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
v And I don’t wanna fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
And I don’t want to fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
World was on fire
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
I never dreamed that I’d lose somebody like you
No I don’t wanna fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart
No I don't wanna fall in love
[This love is only gonna break your heart]
With you
With you
Nobody loves no one
