![]() Speak of the Devil (1998) [ larger cover art ] |
Children lying in their beds.
Just remember what your mother said.
Don't you worry, don't you cry.
Little black flowers grow, in the sky.
In the sky.
Make a promise, cross your heart.
Kings X vow that we'll never part.
Sign in blood and hope to die.
Little black flowers grow, in the sky.
In the sky.
And I believed you.
I believed you when you said you would be mine.
Tell me mother, will I die.
Yes my child and so shall I.
And never know the reason why,
little black flowers grow, in the sky.
In the sky.
And I believed you.
I believed you when you said you'd cried,
believed you when you said you'd try,
believed you when you said you loved me too.
I believed you.
I believed you.
I believed you.

| ambrebalte (Beijing) | Posted: Dec 18, 2009 - 10:06 I like the idea to place here some space coming from 2006. For the same reasons as the initial one It did work at that time :) Thanks dsr15 As for Chris Isaak, nice tune dsr15 wrote: Yikes. Need to fill in some space to get rid of those icky big red letters! Did that work? |
| Inamorato (Twin Cities) | Posted: Feb 21, 2009 - 18:14 Chris Isaak as a talk show host for musicians on the Biography Channel should be interesting. |

| wyoschrods (last best place) | Posted: Jul 15, 2008 - 12:03 The difficulty for a stylist such as Isaac is achieving a groove that doesn't sound like a whole lot like of others...not that I'm complaining, though. I like his stuff more and more. |

Amusingly both he and the guitarist slept with one of the women who was in the party I went to the concert with. Did they really sleep together? How sweet. |

| Nor-Cal (Petaluma, CA) | Posted: Nov 16, 2005 - 15:16 The first time I saw Chris Issak, at Mabuhay Gardens in San Francisco, he was the front man for Silvertone--before he went out under his own name. He put on a great show, and he already had star quality. He does have a tendency to write morose material...I prefer his rockers, like "Go Walking Down There". |
| bkrontz | Posted: Nov 16, 2005 - 15:00 I discovered Radio Paradise a week ago... and I've been waiting to hear Chris this whole time... wondering if he was "cool" enough to make the playlist. Thank You!!! Brian |
| jagdriver (HP Cubeland, Roseville, CA) | Posted: Jul 21, 2005 - 13:50 Said to myself, "Man, this sounds like Chris Isaak." One of the best concerts I ever went to, says I. This was at a horrible venue in the parking lot of a Tahoe casino (Stateline, NV), but Chris and his excellent crew of musicians soon put the venue issues out of our minds. Go see him! I'm sorry I'm committed to another gig (Mark Knopfler) next week, otherwise we'd fly down to Phoenix to see him at the Celebrity Theater, one of the absolute best venues in existence. (Johnny Rivers and 1964~The Tribute both blew us away there!) |
| Dirktooth (Mar Vista, CA) | Posted: Jun 07, 2005 - 10:03 Charmingly depressive is one way I would describe Isaak's style of singing. He always echoed Orbison's voice to my ears, with that haunted tone to his songs. |
