Hail, and well met this dark November! I hope you are all keeping well.
This cover of Chris Isaak’s Wicked Game was created in collaboration with the wonderful Uilleann piper and whistle player Aaron Dolan, who is creating Irish music in Germany. It was a pleasure to work with him and have his pipes and whistles grace this channel. You can find lots of his work over on Tiktok or here on Youtube, so do check him out!

The Art:
'Hi leret der markis Arablen der kuninginnen den kristenden
loben'(folio 25r) from the Willehalm Codex' by Wolfram von Eschenbach, 1334. University Library Kassel, Germany.
The little decorative detail is from fol. 60r from Bodleian Library MS. Bodl. 264.
The Lyrics:
The world was on fire
And no one could save me but thee
‘Tis strange how desire hath a mockery made of me
I never dreamed I would meet someone such as thee
I never dreamed I would lose someone such as thee
No I don’t want to fall in love
No I don’t want to fall in love
With thee
What a wicked game to play, to make me feel this way
What a wicked thought to free, to let me dream of thee
What a wicked thing to say, thou hast not felt this way
What a wicked thought to free, to make me dream of thee
No I don’t want to fall in love
No I don’t want to fall in love
The world was on fire
And no one could save me but thee
‘Tis strange how desire hath a mockery made of me
I never dreamed I would love someone such as thee
I never dreamed I would lose someone such as thee
No I don’t want to fall in love
No I don’t want to fall in love
With thee
