One of the most beautiful songs ever written IMO. Truly amazing, and done with three chords.

Wicked Game

WELCOME TO THE LATE NIGHT VIBE. IT'S THE MIDNIGHT SNACK!

MIDNIGHT SNACK EPISODE 119: THERE'S A MAN IN YOUR TRUNK!

Wicked Game - Cover

This is an original mashup of Lewis Capaldi’s “Someone You Loved” rewritten in a minor key AND Chris Isaak’s “Wicked Game”.

Actually, I had the idea to do the Capaldi piece in a minor key several months ago, but got distracted by myself (typical). Then, I stumbled across @Witchz cover of the Isaak song and I was re-inspired in a whole new direction. Honestly, the Isaak song is special to me, so double enjoy, ‘k?

I'm going under and this time I fear there's no one to save me
This all or nothing really got a way of driving me crazy
I need somebody to heal
Somebody to know
Somebody to have
Somebody to hold
It's easy to say
But it's never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain

Now the day bleeds
Into nightfall
And you're not here
To get me through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved


I'm going under and this time I fear there's no one to turn to
This all or nothing way of loving got me sleeping without you
Now, I need somebody to know
Somebody to heal
Somebody to have
Just to know how it feels

It's easy to say but it's never the same
I guess I kinda liked the way you helped me escape
Now the day bleeds
Into nightfall
And you're not here
To get me through it all
I let my guard down
And then you pulled the rug

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)


For now the day bleeds 
(What a wicked game you play)
Into nightfall
And you're not here 
(to make me feel this way)
To get me through it all
I let my guard down 
(What a wicked thing to do)
And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved 
(to let me dream of you)

But now the day bleeds 
(What a wicked thing to say)
Into nightfall
And you're not here 
(you never felt this way)
To get me through it all
I let my guard down 
(What a wicked thing to do)
And then you pulled the rug
I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved 
(to make me dream of you)

I let my guard down
But now I’m feeling drained
I don’t wanna be a part of your wicked games
