I never thought I'd actually record this song, but here I am doing it. Never say never, I suppose, and also never say always. Both are pretty much never right and always wrong. Wait a minute...

"Wicked Game" was originally recorded and released by Chris Isaak in 1989. I was 9 years old at the time and really didn't understand the music video, but now I realize that Chris and Helena must have been very cold. 🥶

Geoff is not playing games with this one! Wicked good! 🤩
Nailed it.
@@GeoffCastellucci ❤
You didn’t tell me you’ve actually talked to Geoff! That’s crazy! Well done Geoff, you always amaze me!
I shared a real love of music with my Dad. He’d travelled the world with the British Navy for 22 years and brought home so many kinds of music from such mixed and diverse cultures. My Dad would have loved listening to your deep dulcet tones Geoff, thanks for another wonderful song. 💞🇬🇧
Nice.
Anyone else click "Like" and move Geoff Castellucci's cover to a Playlist without hearing first just because you know he is going knock it out of the park
LOL, I clicked the "like" button then listed to it. I already know ahead of time that I'm going to love his music.
💯 Geoff and VoicePlay are 100% automatic. They never miss!
Nope. I still go through the motions. And get frustrated that I can only like it once. Again and again.
Just did!
I liked it when I got notified about the premiere. When I clicked the "notify me" button.
without words - just listen and enjoy❤
I really hope Geoff doesn't feel pressured to keep singing as low or as high as possible. We don't think of you as a frequency generator, Geoff. Your range is incredibly awesome, but it's the quality of the notes sung that is truly spectacular. I hope you keep singing as low, high, or mid-range as you enjoy. You know we'll love any of it.
I don't think I've ever heard somebody referred to as a 'frequency generator,' even by implication, and I am definitely going to use it in future.
@@robertlewis6915 "Stop generating freqencies" could basically be "shut up". Yeah I'm using this too XD
i think the same so often people claim to be bass and cant actually sing a note any1 can make deep voice sounds , but VERY FEW can Sing low and make it sound good my uncle and his acapella group have a decent bass but 99% of youtube bassers really suck. Geoff is so freaking good at singing period
This one is not low for him - I'm not even sure he goes to sub harmonics
Tbh i prefer the "mids"
So glad you made this. It's criminally underrated.
The original sounds like Chris Isaak is floating through the air as he tries to not fall in love. Geoff's version sounds like he's already fallen, has hit the bottom, is trapped in the mud and cannot get out. It be like that sometimes
Good description
True, but here's the kicker...we don't FALL IN love nor do we FALL OUT of love. We either LOVE or we don't. LOVE is ACTION NOT WORDS/FEELINGS. What we FALL IN/OUT OF is INFATUATION; LUST; FEELINGS. Most people don't even know what LOVE actually IS or even how to DO LOVE. Just like the end of the song says....NO ONE REALLY LOVES ANYONE....and that's the cold/hard TRUTH.
It do be like that sometimes
I love how stripped down this version is. It lets his voice shine ✨
And there's only one of him this time.
@@andrewvelonis5940 Well, visually. We still got some of that sweet, sweet Geoff Castellucci harmony going on there.
Agreed. Having just him at the piano, and the harmonies added without multiple Geoffs made it raw and very powerful.
This sounds like a sad dragon love struck for a princess
Perfect description!
If anything maybe voice a dragon in a movie :P
Why did this remind me of peaches?
Perfect description indeed! 🙂
Or a donkey
I can’t resist how Geoff’s purring growls pour through you like shivers turned to sound.
I just read one of the most beautifully composed sentences ever.
@@Bethsabee_Sheba_Newrose Wow, thank you 😊 I definitely put thought into it.
You found a way to describe what I had no words for
Right?
Poet ☺
This.. this is.. I literally have no words. Geoff’s voice in this song is just - bliss. He’s honestly making love to the microphone with his voice and it’s just simply unbelievable, amazing, indescribable… you get the point. Geoff is just so incredibly talented. My mind is completely blown by this song. Literal CHILLS with every word!!
I’m not sure how I missed its release, but it’s definitely going on repeat right now!!
He sings like a tiger would purr......what a soothing vibration his voice provides......must have healing powers.......
That’s exactly what I am feeling while listening to his amazing voice!
Interestingly, not all cats, like tigers, can purr. They do, however, chuff.
This is a masterpiece. Arrangement 10/10. Performance 10/10. Video 10/10.... Hair 10/10. Great job, Geoff (& Kathy)! You really are something special. We adore this!
Thank you, kindly!
“Hair 10/10” 😂 I wasn’t expecting that but I guess you’re not wrong.
@@GeoffCastellucci: this really shows your upper and lower vocal are golden.
When I first saw these four quad triplets sing together so harmonious I fell in love with them right away. It took me weeks before I found out it was just one man singing all these different tones and lyrics. Mind wouldn't allow me to believe it, I am still having trouble believing it. I am not surprised about his bass voice because I grew up around Church quartets. But the fact this man has such a awesome range of all four tones of singing vocals is just darn astonishing! Geoff if you read these comments Thank you and God bless you. I cried the day Marty Robins died I had just turned fifteen and I so much loved his music. I heard you sing a few minutes of his song "Big Iron" and I cried again, you did such a good job of it. Could you please sing more of Marty Robins songs for me and make an old woman happy reliving her youth. Thank you. I loved Paul Bunyan's song as well.
This rendition deserves more views. More I say. MORE. Thanks for this Geoff.
A thousand likes in less than 10 minutes. This one deserves a million guys, let's do our thing and get it there. What a beautiful cover and amazing artist. Geoff does it again.
oh don't worry. I'll play this 500,000 times (like I do with all his other covers). Love that LOOP option!
Wicked Game... This song is a big favorite... Geoff's special clear voice and piano playing transformed it...
Its simplicity makes this cover beautiful and unforgettable.
He stripped down the original song and built something that is rarely heard anymore.
Wicked Game was given a new personality by him.💙💯
my all time fav chris isaak song , fabulous geoff
Glad I was doing a "listen to Wicked Game covers night" today, and fell over this gem in the process. :)
There’s no way this won’t be incredible. Pre-shoutout to Geoff and Kathy and all that they bring into the world ❤
Geoff's voice is a gift to the soul...
I can't quite explain the feeling that takes over me when it's just Geoff and his piano with those low, rumbley tones. It's like when a cat lays on you and starts purring... Inexplicable peace and happiness. ❤
Geoff sings this with a gentle sort of intensity that's just perfect. 💙
It breaks you and makes you cry... And after you listen it again and again (yes, being in his Patreon is the best thing ever!), it heals you. Thank you Geoff❤
Omg just discovered this voice, just fell in love with it 😍
He's also the bass singer in his group VoicePlay.
I like it stripped down to just the vocals with a Piano while he had white walls with windows.... simple, elegant, and it really makes you focus on just the amaziness of his rang and the beauty of his voice. You can really focus on every inflection, Man is too talented!
I keep coming back to this. Haunting and yet ethereal with that awesome 'purr'. I had already loved this song from the original Now after hearing Geoff's several times I need to say just how much more emotional he made it. Previously, I really liked the higher parts, but Geoff has changed those into an almost breath. Not that he sings it in a particularly breathy manner, but more that it is so natural it is almost like breathing. Whereas, Isaak's high bits were more like a yodel. And usually, I prefer Geoff's more 'rounded' tones in his bass voice, but these more gravelly purrs feel more like a 'catch-in-the-throat' emotion. This is just gorgeous! And getting more gorgeous every time I listen to it. Visually perfect, too! Almost like the subtlety of fog. So many shades of grey.
Geoff + a piano = all god's blessing in your ears i swear 😩❤️
Dragon purrs and those gorgeous harmonies! Love this!
From the opening notes, tears sprung to my eyes, not only from the chords this time but by the plaintive cries of that piano. The arrangement as well as the instrument choice (not just that it's piano, but the type/timbre/tone of the piano) is absolutely perfect in conveying the heartbreak of these lyrics. I could have sworn that you slowed down the tempo from the original, but comparing the two, they are both at about 112 bpm and then I realized - Chris Isaak’s version has percussion on 1-2-3-4, but you’ve chosen to halve that, which gives the *illusion* of being slower. Really changes the mood of the song!
Geoff, your choices just amaze me! I love how you utilized the main motif of this song in so many cool ways. At 1:04, it was super cool to hear, behind the lines of the verse, the motif of the chorus in the high, high piano, starting on an F#5, coming down to E, then D and *lingering on that D to create an E7 chord* (excuse me while I swoon for a moment) before finishing the line down to C# and then B. Then it repeats, but this time not lingering on the D and resembling more of the "I...don't want to fall in love" melody line.
At 0:19, there's an A in that B minor chord, turning it into a Bmin7 chord which just has such *richness* and depth and interest. Holy smokers.
At 1:18, using the above-mentioned chorus riff, but *backwards* (ascending) and in the bass clef as a transition to the next part of the song?? GENIUS! It's those little elements that really tie your songs together. (Not unlike The Dude and his rug.)
The dude abides... THANKS!
I knew this was Angie who could really analyze this piece of music
Angie, thank you! You always come through with the theory.
I literally sat here with a metronome comparing Geoff's version to the original because I thought his was slower as well.
I also landed at about 112 bpm for both versions, and ended my train of thought with just a "huh".
But you come along and explain to me why I was hearing what I was hearing, and that's why I adore your musical breakdowns so much.
@@katthor7311 Thank you - what a kind thing to say!
Pretty impressive breakdown.
Can’t wait, had first dance at my wedding in 1992 to this. Song lasted better than the marriage!
😂
Rofl
Sort of a weird wedding song, as the lyrics are about how love is fake. But the music is beautiful
I went to a friends wedding 20 years ago and their first dance was to their favourite song, "Tainted Love"@@anndurham3109
I didn’t choose it, to be fair!
В 1990-х годах эту песню часто крутили по нашему радио. Но в исполнении Джеффа она обрела новое звучание. И этот чудесный голос, который хочется слушать и слушать. Это очередной шедевр! Спасибо, Джефф! ❤️❤️❤️
The simplicity of this arrangement stripped back and raw gives it all of the emotion the original missed. Its stark low rumble then ascends to a chorus in the clouds. Love it.
The game Geoff is playing with this song and video is truly wicked, and I'm sitting here both melting and with tears building up in my eyes 🎶🥺🥰❤
Geoff's music is ALWAYS amazing! He NEVER disappoints. 😉
Это верно!
True that.
The more times I listen to Geoff sing this, the more I appreciate all the sounds and intricacies. Definitely a sad song.
I’m so happy that you finally caved in to our demands…uh…requests for this song and even ended up enjoying it yourself. I always knew your voice would be a perfect fit for this, especially where it sits in the whispery part of your low chest range. The drops give me chills and when the harmonies hit, I feel like I leave my body for a second. It’s so beautiful!
Looking forward to hearing Geoff sing LOW... can you please do some more narrations? I've listened to all of the ones that you have on your channel and just love your sexy voice! Can't get enough of it! You could read the phone book and I'd still be fascinated by you!
Какой же прекрасный голос! Просто магический, волшебный! Он вызывает такой восторг и ничем не замутнённое чистое и мощное эстетическое удовольствие! Джефф - ваш голос приносит счастье и радость! Благодарю вас за то, что вы им так щедро делитесь!
This has been soothing my broken heart this week after the loss of a pet. So glad to have had early access to it through patron because Geoff's voice always helps with my anxiety 🥺
And once again, Geoff has proven that any song he covers, that's now the best version of that song.
It is beautiful, but I think Violet Orlandi gives him a run for his money on this one ;)
Whoa! I'm waiting until I stop shaking before I listen to this again. It shouldn't take more than an hour or two. That was intense!
The bass just vibrates the walls ...😊🔥
This song sounds amazing with Geoff's gorgeous voice.. I love the simplicity of just him and the piano🥰
Geoff I love your arrangement of this song and your vocals are so awesome. The video set was tastefully done. Sweet!
I never heard a human voice so low toned ! Amazing. Nice cover Geoff!
The voice
Piano
Arrangement
All are incredible
This is the ultimate chill guy to relax to.
Just wow
After multiple listens, it occurs to me that there are repeated builds then falling back. Just like the relationship; step forward then back. Such an intriguing detail.
Every time, I think that I'm finally going in prepared. And every time, I am not. This one shakes me, hard. A gorgeous, emotional gut-punch, so beautifully bittersweet.
This guy has a goal: destroy a million subwoofers world wide per year. Amazing! Best version ever of this song.
And I thought Chris Isaacs version of wicked games was cool but Geoff just elevated it to another lvl
Geoff, I think this will make you smile - my one year old heard your voice and immediately pointed at my phone with a smile, and sat quietly through the whole song, just listening. You are one of her favourite artists.
Just watched it again and Geoff sitting in silence at the end...a definite punch to the gut.

Great job and arrangement as usual, along with Kathy!!!😃😃😃😃
Huge thanks for this brilliant cover, because it made my heart melting!!!
💟💟💟💟💟
Thank you, Geoff's vocal range and flexibility is just insane.
Perfect
Are the super low notes subharmonics or chest?
@@logangrove4103 : both
@@logangrove4103 It's all done in chest voice.
I didn't notice a sort of subharmonic sounding.
Those were also from bass instruments in the background, as well.
About 2:31, I could be wrong naming it E1. I think he stops at an F#1, for a brief timestamp.
Dear God, this voice should be illegal. That bass is amazing but then he takes my breath away with the higher notes every time!!
I finally found the words for this and so I've come back to repeat them.
Haunting and yet ethereal with that awesome 'purr'. I had already loved this song, now after hearing it several times I need to say just how much more emotional you made it. Previously, with Chris Isaak's singing, I really liked the higher parts, but Geoff has changed those into an almost breath. Not that he sings it in a particularly breathy manner, but more that it is so natural it is almost like breathing. And usually, I prefer Geoff's more 'rounded' tones in his bass voice, but these more gravelly purrs feel more like a 'catch-in-the-throat' emotion. This is just gorgeous! And getting more gorgeous every time I listen to it. Visually perfect, too! Almost like the subtlety of fog.
Bittersweet voice like dark hot chocolate 🥰, love it....
I am blown away by the range of his voice! This song showcases that so well, every note sung perfectly! (low-mid-high, incredible!)
Geoff’s deep, smoky voice pulls you in, and then his incredible range shakes every fiber of feeling. Another exquisite arrangement which becomes another benchmark of beauty. Thank you.
His voice makes my phone vibrate! 😆 💕🌝
It's simply awesome ❤
Thank you Geoff (& Kathy 😁) for all your hard work 😊
i thought no song would get me more addicted than 16 tons or constant sorrow...............geoff just made another one that added to that list
the talent in his lows crazy, just now discovering this artist i am impressed
Apart from your unspeakable musical and creative talent, you always manage to hit painful nerves and transfer feelings. It hurts and yet one listen to it again and again to find some kind of comfort in that very pain.
You are valuable and important to people who feel their soul.
Excellently said
I have literally never been more moved by a performance in my life, than when watching this video. Geoff, I hope you see this. This is the most amazing cover of this song I have ever heard in my life. Also, your cover of Jack’s lament from the nightmare before Christmas had me in tears. You have the capacity to move peoples complete souls with your voice. You are amazing! I would love to hear you cover a Type O Negative song. Anesthesia or Wolf Moon if I had a top pick. Please consider this at some point! Thank you for sharing your AMAZING voice!
This is strange. I've listened to Geoff so many times that my ears seemed to be trained to expect certain things from one of his creations. The low notes...are resonant and give a shiver...because they are as good as it gets, every time! When it's time to stretch his range, the ears are expecting silk and melting butter, and they are rewarded. The harmonizing is anticipated, and every time it's like...omg...as the ears are taken on a ride. Putting his own uniqueness to a cover is just the icing on this velvet cake of hard work and talent. When the maestro sings, the ears are grateful to have all expectations met, and thank you for the enjoyment of truly beautiful music.
The harmonies at 2:30 might be my favorite Geoff harmonies I've ever heard. My goosebumps reproduced at borderline unhealthy levels
I have always loved the beautiful melocholy feel of this song but to hear it Geoffs beautiful voice... chefs kiss.
Started tearing up due to emotions but happiness it’s a cover of the song I’ve been obsessed with for month since seeing the show
I could feel my headphones vibrate against my ears with this one. Wicked indeed. And the CHORUS with the higher notes. HELLO?! That layering is incredible. Gorgeous.
How this isn’t on 1 million views yet is like whaaat
I've loved this song for years and was one of those wistfully hoping for the Geoff treatment pretty much since day one of becoming a patron. Geoff, this is everything I hoped for and more. You've honored the heart of the original, while putting your own unique, lovely spin on it. The bts on Patreon shows it wasn't all easy times pulling this whole production together either! You and Kathy absolutely rock ❤️
I love Geoff's low notes and crazy abilities. I have to say though, I love his higher notes just as much. Such as at 1:20 and 3:02. Geoff has a truly amazing voice that I can listen to for hours.
2:02 I don’t know what it is, but these harmonies seem so beautiful, sad, and soothing at the same time. The notes I hear are B, A, then a beautiful E.. sounds so great. Also at 2:29 , the harmonies gave me absolute goosebumps.. sounded so pretty
Матерь божья, я под это теперь буду засыпать и видеть самые сладкие сны. Не голос, голосище! Потрясающе. Все аплодисменты ваши.
Absolutely! I’ve added it to my Sleepytime playlist already. (It starts out with Misty Mountains and Till Then. There is something so soothing about that growl-y low tone.)
согласна
Слушать его-наслаждение... Знать, о чем он поет- загадка.... (Нет субтитров😢)

Wow, Geoff! I'm in love with your amazing voice!
What a wicked thing to do...to cover this song and nail it in pretty much every aspect😉.
I love the overall look of this video that you went for and it just works. I like that you used the space you were in to frame yourself in different ways. Talk about less is more.
I was one of those that was asking you to please cover this song as I had full faith in you being able to do something unique with this,. I'm so glad I did, because..
From starting off with a melancholy feel but so gently and carefully, almost whispering instead of singing. Building up to more grounded and steadfast. (Can we talk about how you switched up some of those rhythms??)
Back to the melancholy feel from the start and transition with the support of the very modern instrumentals to those very sweet, gorgeous, and hopeful high notes and harmonies. This part really gives me chills every single time. Needless to say, I like what you did here.
I don't know how you keep upping the game for yourself with every production, but somehow you do. I'm glad to be a patron and grateful to have a song I requested get the Geoff Castellucci treatment. I'm super impressed by your ability to take a song that you had reservations about and make this with it. What a skill to have.
Castellucci treatment... 😂 There are some more songs out there in urgent need... let's help them!! 😅🎉❤
His voice gets deeper and deeper every song 🤩 he is the best bass singer out there
So beautiful, but haunting at the same time ❤
Why do these bangers defy the laws of physics and land on my head before rain does?
This is the most wickedly beautiful song that I have ever heard
First time I've seen your work pop up on my home page. I've always loved this song, so I knew you'd either break my heart or knock it out the park. It was the latter. I've subscribed and I'll be adding more of your songs to my watch later listening. Fantastic range, amazing soul.
I don’t wanna I’ve fall in love either, but I have fallen in love with this man’s voice I tell ya. Everything he does draws me in♥️
Why can’t I like this a million times? This man is like butta 🤣
One man, one piano, and a billion magical moments under 5 minutes. Just outstanding.
Oh my goodness...this is breathtaking. 💕🤘
I really didn’t think this was a song I’d ever listen to on repeat, but Geoff put his magic spell on it and I don’t know how many times I’ve listened to it now, but it’s many! And I’m definitely not done with it any time soon…
Wow...the song itself is just brilliant...and sung this way...just wow...goes deep
Just when I thought it was perfect he went and hit that high note and made it legendary
Definitely a song that sounds even better each time I hear it.
Уникальный певец! Прекрасный музыкант! Превосходный вкус и чувство стиля! Пой еще на радость всем! 🙏❤👏☀🌈
How wonderful is this song and your voice is truly a miracle of Beauty! Thank you so much for your sharing!
Your range is amazing.
Wicked game? Wicked bass. Wicked good. Such wickedly sweet vocals. In all seriousness I was blown away by how everything came together. I don't know what I fell in love with more, how this was sung or the piano playing. Gahhh my brain is on fire.
I found you thru George Collier and you are just the BEST bass singer I've ever heard
This is another one like Phantom of the Opera. I love the original so much that I wasn't sure about how I felt. I had to forget the original and appreciate it as a different song and find things I liked rather than things I didn't. One thing remains true. I love Geoff's voice - especially in his mid range. It has such a sweetness to it.
Oh I see we are going to start like this huh what a beautiful beginning and song. This would be a perfect night ride or a rainy day.
Wicked games just got a whole new meaning! Wicked cover Geoff!
Dammit, how do you wow me every single time?! 🙆♂️
This is insane
Incredible skill
His vocal range is astonishing
