No stars in the sky, the night seems so dark around you.
You won't say a word, and wonder why no one's found you,
Waiting for love, praying for love again........

Love's a heavy weight, give it to me don't hesitate.
Love's a heavy thing, too heavy for one heart to bring me your love.
Give me your love again, it's not your fault.
One heart can never win it takes

Two hearts, two hearts just to hold love.
Two hearts, two hearts just to hold your lo-o-o-o-o-ve.
Your lo-o-o-o-o-ve.

And if your heart should ache,
Remember me.
And if your heart should break.

Two hearts, two hearts they can mend it.
Heartache, heartaches can be ended by love, by love.

Love's a heavy weight, give to me don't hesitate.
Love's a heavy thing, too heavy for one heart to bring me your love.
Give me your love again, It's not too late.
One heart can never win, it takes two hearts.

Two hearts, two hearts just to hold love
Two hearts, two hearts just to hold your lo-o-o-o-o-ve
Your lo-o-o-o-o-ve.

I was today-years-old when I realized how much Chris Isaak owes to Roy Orbison.

Chris Isaak's best album :) 
Most welcomed on a difficult Monday morning! thank you!

This song is also on his Baja Sessions album, released a few years later. Interestingly, Baja Sessions also includes Wrong To Love You, which also appears on his Heart Shaped World album. There's nothing nefarious about that, but seems a little unusual to me.

After I die I want to be reincarnated with Chris's voice.  He might be showing off his tonsil tickling with this song, but I still love it.

Agree with many of the others, definitely a Roy Orbison of today in style and talent; and this from a contemporary of Saint Roy.

Met him in Vancouver when he was filming his TV show ... super relaxed and quite funny guy ... Him and his drummer were at a fish market picking up Crab Cakes for a party ... it was really nice to just hang out waiting for our numbers to be called and shoot the shite ...

His music is pretty relaxing - hitting those high notes freaks me out - but I think hes awesome
Chris Isaak ... you da man!

I just know that if I were either gay or female, I'd be VERY attracted to him. He is quite the handsome one... Plus I love his voice -- reminds me a lot of Roy Orbison.

Aah -- no. He seems sweet, but be careful. I've got the albums; I watched the TV show (and miss it,), I've been to the concerts and enjoyed them all. But, there is something unsettling about this guy. A little self-centered? bad? Not sure. Not good about the guitarist, though. Sorry for that

"Super Magic 2000", of the Speak of the Devil album, has a few gunshots at the beginning... I suppose if you were just listening, you might not notice that a new track has started. Hope that helps

Ok, there's something truly ironic (take notes, Ms. Morissette) about acknowledging you'd cheat and reading a bible passage in the same post. ;-) Not that I'm in a glass house throwing stones, I just think it's funny. By the way, who grabbed him by the nuts there at the end? BGGA, was that you?!? Excellent tune from Chris "I wanna be Roy" Isaak-son.

Weird how I was just wondering if I was being too liberal with my ratings, (too many 10's) and then BAM! Along comes Mr. Isaak, a natural and seldom heard 10 if ever there was one . Perfect timing RP! Gotta get more of his work.

Love Isaak, he's just got that cowboy with a silvertone thang going. Just had a twisted idea. He does "Solitary Man" on the same CD. How about a "Solitary Man" set, Bill, with Neil's original, then Isaak's, and closing with Johnny Cash's killer version. Could be excellent! Keep up the good work!

It is a matter of timing . . . . Please let us have some energizing upbeat rock instead of whispery breathy aching voices and hearts. I am not ready for a tequila happy hour, I am trying to get some work done here! This guy\'s yodel is charming and sweet, but I am not trying to go to sleep in this time zone--lots more work to do. Now he has changed from yodeling to singing off key; do you have any singers who both stay on key and are not breathy? I have been away for awhile but came back to give RP another chance to help me get through the work day.

I bought this album on CD (also have it on import vinyl :D ) just before I took a cross-country drive to my new home in the SF Bay area back in \'93. While other CDs went in and out of my changer, this one stayed in. Such a solid album, and for me personally, very timely.
