Den här veckan handlar det om att posta de bästa balladerna, gärna de allra svulstigaste och pampigaste. Om du har egna låtar på temat, skicka dem gärna till mig så lägger jag till i spellistan här
Chris Isaak – “Wicked Game (1989)
Det här är storslaget!
Låten handlar om att älska någon som inte är bra för en.
Isaak har i olika sammanhang berättat om varifrån han fick inspirationen:
”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.”
Låten släpptes som singel tidigt 1990 men uppmärksammades inte på allvar förrän den medtogs i David Lynchs film Wild at Heart.
“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
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
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”
