'Song of the Week': Coeur De Pirate- "Wicked Games" (The Weeknd Cover)

This weeks 'Song of the Week' comes from Montreal singer, Coeur de Pirate. The moniker which means (“pirate heart”) is the stage name of the talented 22 year old Béatrice Martin who sings & writes mainly in French. She recently released her highly anticipated sophomore album, Blonde which features the single "Adieu" which is getting heavy rotation up in her homeland.
But it's her take on a track, "Wicked Games" by a band called, The Weeknd that really caught my attention. The simple piano and innocence in her voice contrasted with the lyrics of the song adds something special that takes the track to a whole different level.
Give a listen below.

  Coeur de Pirate - Wicked Games (The Weeknd cover) by Friendsfromfar

"Wicked Games"
I left my girl back home
I don't love her no more
And she'll never fucking know that
These fucking eyes that I'm staring at
Let me see that ass
Look at all this cash
And I emptied out my cards to her
Now I'm fucking leaning on that

Bring your love baby I could bring my shame
Bring the drugs baby I could bring my pain
I got my heart right here
I got my scars right here
Bring the cups baby I could bring the drank
Bring your body baby I could bring you fame
And that's my motherfucking word too
Just let me motherfucking love you

Listen ma I'll give you all I got
Get me off of this
I need confidence in myself
Listen ma I'll give you all of me
Give me all of it
I need all of it to myself

So tell me you love me
Only for tonight
Only for one night
Even though you don't love me
Just tell me you love me
I'll give you what I need
I'll give you what I need
Even though you don't love me

Let me see you dance
I love yo watch you dance
Take you down another level
And get you dancing with the devil
Take a shot of this
But I'm warning you
I'm on that shit that you can't smell baby
So put down your perfume

Bring your love baby I could bring my shame
Bring the drugs baby I could bring my pain
I got my heart right here
I got my scars right here
Bring the cups baby I could bring the drank
Bring your body baby I could bring you fame
And that's my motherfucking word too
So let me motherfucking love you

Listen ma I'll give you all I got
Get me off of this
I need confidence in myself
Listen ma I'll give you all of me
Give me all of it
I need all of it to myself

So tell me you love me
Only for tonight
Only for one night
Even though you don't love me
Just tell me you love me
I'll give you what I need
I'll give you what I need
Even though you don't love me
