Forever Blue is the fifth studio album by American rock and roll musician Chris Isaak, released on May 23, 1995. The album included three singles: the Grammy-nominated "Somebody's Crying," "Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing," featured in Stanley Kubrick's final film, Eyes Wide Shut and "Graduation Day," featured in the 1996 film Beautiful Girls. In 1996, Forever Blue was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Album, though it lost to Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill.
