I believe the stars keep shining all throught the night.
I believe if we just keep trying it will be alright.
I believe that someday we're gonna find our way.
And I believe in a beautiful day.

I believe in lovers walking side by side.
I believe that someday we'll be satisfied.
I believe the angels listen god hears us pray.
And I believe in a beautiful day.
Yeah I believe it's gonna work out ok.

But not for me, and not for you.

I believe, I believe, I believe.
I believe, I believe, I believe.

I believe there's an answer waiting when the day is done.
I believe if you just keep searching you'll find someone.
I believe that you and I just lost our way.
And I believe in a beautiful day.
I still believe in a beautiful day.

But not for me, and not for you.
I know your tried, and I tried to.
Sometime all our dreams just don't come true.

I believe, I believe, I believe.
I believe, I believe, I believe.
Oh...Oh...Beautiful day
Chris Isaak

Christopher Joseph Isaak (born June 26, 1956) is an American singer, songwriter, guitarist and occasional actor. Noted for his reverb-laden rockabilly revivalist style and wide vocal range, he is popularly known for his breakthrough hit and signature song "Wicked Game"; as well as international hits such as "Blue Hotel", "Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing", and "Somebody's Crying".

With a career spanning four decades, Isaak has released a total of 13 studio albums, toured extensively with his band Silvertone, and received numerous award nominations. His sound and image are often compared to those of Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley, Ricky Nelson, and Duane Eddy.

Isaak is closely associated with film director David Lynch, who has used his music in numerous films. As an actor, he played supporting roles and bit parts in films such as Married to the Mob, The Silence of the Lambs, Little Buddha, That Thing You Do! and Lynch's Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, and starred in two television series: the sitcom The Chris Isaak Show and the talk show The Chris Isaak Hour.

I'm having a hard time finding my dictionary, what with the drooling and all. However, I can spell j-e-a-l-o-u-s.

Brings back San Francisco nites, mornings, hills, fog, beaches, cold water, lots of trails along the beach.

And Special People who came and went like Summertime Fog...

San Fran is special at every age... magic place where dreams and nightmares come true in equal measure.

Amazing talent. I always thought he sounded like a cross between Duane Eddy and Roy Orbison. Maybe that's what he's aiming for but credit where credit is due. This song is almost perfect. 

 
Damn...I was just thinking he was channeling Roy, but you beat me to it.

I once read an interview Chris did after his first album, the bit that I remember went something like:

"It's been a while since the first album, What have you been working on?"
"I built a patio"

Now, there, I thought, is a man who has his feet on the ground.

Or, maybe, he's aiming to be hisself.

Isaak's "Forever Blue" is one of the best break albums ever.

A bit of a disconnect for me too - a little bit like throwing an entire music library on "shuffle all." Threw off my groove



Though that wasn't my interrupted activity.

Lloyde Cole's 'Love Ruins Everything' would be a good follow-up tune to this one. But Bill has never played the LC tune though it sits in the RP library.

Chris ain't no Lyle Lovett, but he's decent in his own right.

He's good. Sort of a poor man's Roy Orbison, which is not damning with faint praise because no one beats Roy.
He's good enough to get any chick he wants, and that's all that matters.... (pimp)
