  • I'm closing in on 50 and this song is still great

  • This is a nice performance. If you are into religious connotations, watch Meat Loaf "I Would do anything for Love." It is a little wierd, and takes a few watches to figure out the message..

  • love this song who did the flute in it sounds like Robbie Robertson ?

  • Is he wearing "The Executive" coat from Seinfeld?

  • @pattyk77 LOL... it seems to be belt-less!

  • this was when music was music something to plus you in a positive direction .

  • Just an amazing piece of music....

  • I remember sitting as a little boy and watching this song on tv. I loved it then and I love it now, TIMELESS CLASSIC. like this if you appreciate a great voice with great lyrics.

  • @TheRomantician ditto!

  • i will always live in the 20th century as far as most movies and music is concerned, or hell, even most things. things dont seem to be getting better. commericialism has taken over.

  • @burtonrules123 I think you speak for so many of us on here who can remember and still fully appreciate how times used to be. What is going on these days anymore? This song brings back memories of high school for me and of just better times in general.

  • @briarboy79 ditto man! i was a kid, not a teen, my childhood was in the 90's but it was great and i miss it. im obviously very nostalgic. but music and movies seemed better too, in certain ways. there was more selection.

  • @burtonrules123 Same heer i mean like you i was a child when this came out but it brings not just memories but just a good feeling. I remember hearg this on car rides with my mother. It Does seem like thing were much better in the 1990's or at least early 2000's things just suck now. Music is ran by people who know nothing about it same with films. Thats why with film i enjoy underground horror and forigne/ experimental and music its mostly about metal

  • 13 people are athiest scumbags.

  • @burtonrules123 i'm an atheist and i love this song you religious scumbag

  • @jordanzio fuck you athiest asshole. why dont you go bite hte fleas off your hair monkey fur.

  • If you want to see one of the gayest music video's ever made in the 80's, type in "Dancing in Heaven" by Martin Page's former band "Q-Feel". Martin's dance moves alone will leave you feeling queasy. Amazingly enough, I actually bought their cassette tape back in '82. The songs "Crosstalk" and "Heroes Never Die" were very underrated.

  • This is the corniest song abotu spirituality ever to touch the charts.

  • Such high production values on this piece of work, such a beautifully performed piece, so well constructed.

  • I don't know what really made me think of the song but I'm glad I looked up. I was 10 years old. I only vaguely remember it.

  • I was born to Raining Blood by Slayer...but this is alright too.

  • @Sage80

  • When I was younger, I thought this was Peter Gabriel.

  • I'm happy i remembered this song, it's been a long time since I've heard it...

  • in 2:50 hey say i will op-open my eyes

  • Hallelujah!!!!

  • At 2:50, "And we'll all go poop in my hoooooome!"

  • I remember this song! He reminded me of Sting!! is he still alive??

  • @ojmccaf63 Very much alive and well he is.

  • @ojmccaf63 And both of them are British.

  • @ojmccaf63 Both Sting and Martin Page are alive and doing very well for themselves. Sting is still releasing new records, even if they don't really contain any new material, and Page is releasing his third-full length CD entitled, "A Temper of Peace" this Christmas.

  • beautiful song

  • Awesome song

  • This song is beautiful, but its another example of how far the music has fallen these days. This song SHATTERED Billboard's top charts back in the day.....these days what tops music charts? Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, etc. Its really, really sad.

  • @davidjriley98 my God you are so right that its sad. im so proud to be a 90's kid! i remember this on the radio and i cant believe how utterly crappy so-called "music" is today. it just upsets me just thinking about it. the culture today isnt good at all. i think 9/11 had something to do with making the culture so absolutly shitty.

  • LOVE the 90's

  • I remember hearing this on the radio all the time when I was a kid. Brings by a lot of memories..

  • Great song, I seriously used to think it was Sting who did this song, I was shocked that it turned out to be another artist who did this song

  • No one makes songs like this anymore. Not that there are some good songs today, but nothing like this.

  • How could anybody hate this song.

  • He reminds me of william peterson from csi a bit. Nice song :)

  • un buen tema de los 90 en mi caso mucha piedra, la luz se fue de paseo...

  • martin page is a fuckin genius

  • I worked the whole damn season to raise enough cash to afford 2M of RAM while this was playing; it was the followup to Starships' Mannequin song. Anyone who is nostaligic for this one-off was either high, or was inside a womb for the era.

  • the song that sting couldn't write!!!

  • He isn't talking about the Grand Canyon...the first line of the music video is, "Oh, Mount Kailash, uncover me, come my restoration, wash my body clean..." Mount Kailash is part of the Himalayan Mountains and in Tibet. The mountain is important in 4 different religions; Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism and Bon. The song is about rebirth ("I shall not cry for the blindman I leave behind...") and Mount Kailash fits.

  • @cdj37192

    I agree to disagree. I am not doubting the Mount Kailash info but there is a line in the song that says Havasupai shaman let me be reborn and the Havasupai Indians live in the Grand Canyon area.

  • I remember this video the first time I watched it on a realityless VH-1! Love this song!

  • is there any live version of this song

  • I must go there......to find my soul, yeah!

    How did we survive all these years without youtube? A song you hadn't heard in a long time pops into your head out of nowhere and you can just come here and look it up. This is the greatest website ever!

  • @zytxuy

    agreed.

  • For some reason, this song always makes me think of Greece.

  • best song of the 90's

  • epic song

  • My dad played this cd everyday for 10+ years. I used to hate it, and for a valentines day as a child he gave me a stone in the shape of a heart and said that if I didn't like it a monkey would come in my dream so.... i like it now. I'm terrified of moneys.

  • This song is about the Grand Canyon 

  • Whenever I think of songs that rich white people listen to, I think of this song.

  • LOL why is he wearing a trenchcoat

  • @justinseiko Because he is just that awesome :)

  • That's funny, I was sure Martin Page was black

  • Worst song of an entire decade.

  • @iangoescrunch Obviously the majority of America disagrees with you since this song was HUGE in the 90s.

  • @davidjriley98 Mmmbop was also HUGE in the 90s.

  • @iangoescrunch Oh HELL NO. Are you serious? Clean your ears out, please. O.O *smdh* This song kicks ASS, betta realize!! x]

  • 90's are the good years

  • Anyone else get goosebumps listening to this song??? im 24 and still love it

  • @5grimmy so am i! 24, and a child of the 90's and i loved the music, and no, not just cuz it was my childhood. it was genuinly good.

  • @5grimmy Yes, it's so deep and perfect you could just follow it to Heaven....

  • oh my i forgot how much i loved this song...

  • Radio stations need to start playing the REAL GOOD music like this again, instead of running the same song into the ground every day.

  • @kd4adv Oh, they ran songs into the ground back then, too. Nine years earlier, in 1985, I had a job as a baker. We listened to the radio and baked cookies all day. They played the same stuff over and over. There were so many good songs from 1985 that I couldn't stand anymore. It took me 20 years to get to where I could listen to some of them again.

  • I literally have been trying to figure out the name of this song for 5 years now. I first heard it when I was 6 and I guess it stuck with me. Glad I found it

  • I had to listen to this song tonight. It has a message we can all learn from.

  • Great song; lousy video. I knew Martin Page was the bass player, but why show him in such deep shadows and darkness? (yeah, I know, stone and light...I get it). But this video did little to match the energy and dynamics of the song. It was weird and disappointing.

  • I don't have any distinct memories related to this song, but certainly remember hearing it in 1994 or '95.

  • i love sting

  • Makes it feel 1994-1995 all over again.

  • I remember hearing this on the radio all the time when I was a kid. Nostalgic memories of the 90s. Ah.

  • man this takes me back to my walkman playing days in college at Truman State univ in 1995. thanks for the posting.

  • Let me in...Beneath my skin ;)

  • My daughter was born to this song playing. Great, extremely well-produced record. Thanks for posting the video.

  • @hibob418 What a great song to be born to! :-)

  • @hibob418 I gave head to this song, your daughter and I have something in common!!!

  • @jesusthehorse Thanks for the visual. It'll be a month in therapy trying to de-link that.

  • One of the greatest songs ever written...

  • tres joli ! jadore ca! merci!

  • This is the member of Q-Feel that sang the song Dancing in heaven in the movie Girls just wanna have fun

  • Is there other music as mystical as this? I haven't found anything with this sort of vibe in the now nearly 20 years (wow, has it been that long?) since I first heard this. Is this unique, or am I looking in the wrong place?

  • @Gunnerkelly check out clannad or sting or peter gabriel

  • The "House of Stone and Light" is the Grand Canyon

  • first time i heard this song years ago, I thought Go West did this song... heard this song again when I was at work and immediately had to find this song again.... wonderful song!

  • OMG the memories

    i was an 18 yr old college freshman when this came out.

  • I heard this song the day after my sister's funeral, and all I could think was it was her way of letting me know that she'd made it to the other side.

  • @TypesALot She's rotting. Like your soul.

  • I remember the first Cassette tape i owned for myself was this album. Good times as a kid.

  • I'm a fan of this song...guilty pleasure or not...but Martin Paige was more than just a one-hit-wonder with this track. He co-wrote songs like "We Built This City" by Starship, "King of Wishful Thinking" by Go West, and "These Dreams" by Heart.

  • @CBSmiff Methinks you need do cite more than what you hath used for citing..

  • I was 21 when this came out, that is scary but I aways liked this song!

  • "in the house of stoner delights"

  • @themasterpianist I never knew he was saying that, I LOVE IT!!

  • Good tune I like Martin Page and Richard Page from Mr Mister! All pages are good!

  • @bleedforme1981 I did not know Martin was part of Mr. Mister, Kyrie. Wow!

  • @SexyShortnSweet He isnt. lol that guy's name is richard page.

  • "Holy Lady show me my soul. Tell me of the place where I must surely go..."  chalk one up for the good guys ;)

  • How did he sing this without autotune???

  • I sang this song for my choir solo in '94. Now 17 years it speaks to me now more than ever.. <3

  • Comment removed

  • I remember when I first heard Taylor Hicks on American Idol. I thought her sounded identical to Martin. This song is one of the highlights of the 90s.

  • Perfect song to seduce really hot high-maintenance chicks :P

  • Comment removed

  • i remember vh1 playing this video every morning....that vh1 is a far cry from what it is today. Now its reality tv hell.

  • @EinahChild Wait - VH1 pulled an MTV 20 years later? Interesting.

  • @EinahChild I remember being 10 years old & loving this song. (1995) 

  • @mattyhasselhoff I was 10 years old in 1995 and I also remember LOVING this song. It brings back memories of when all my brothers still lived at home.

    I miss those days because now we are all 32, 28, 26 (me), and 24 and the oldest two have moved out, married, and each just recently had his first baby. But we can make new memories and give our children a great childhood like we had when we were young.

  • Let me in, beneath my skin...In the House of Stone and Light

  • I thought sting sang this! :(

  • i remember this song..

  • For the longest time I swore Sting sang this. :P

  • @ExhaleTheLight I was thinking, "Sting? Really?" But had to re-listen to it and I can hear that. Kinda Sting meets Robert Palmer.  Great song.

  • MArtin is so underated this is a really great song..thanks for it. i agree with erinr12

    sooo true nice one :)

  • 11 didn't enter the House Of Stone and Light.

  • @ldylkr LOL, I spit my coffee out after I read that!

  • beautiful song....

    makes me feel peaceful when i listen to it...

  • This song hit number one on the AC charts during later April-Mid May of 1995!

  • @0TheSeeker

    my g/f stole my daughter in 1996 and I recall how this song got me through the times when I really wondered about lifes plan. 10/11/96 the daughter I'll never know.

    Your daddy will always love you Bryana A Peters, ...where ever you are !

  • @apatheticempathy This is the saddest thing I've ever heard.

    I can't imagine my life without my daughter.

    My heart goes out to you with all of it's sincerest empathy !!

  • Can't believe i forgot about this song, i loved this song when i was a kid thanx for posting this (^_^)

  • yes the 90's music is /sounds more like music to me!!! I totally like

  • a correction on what I said, Martin, not Steve sorry =(

  • loved this song, Steve was a great voice of the 90's I remember this song when it come out it was like boom, who is this guy then he just disappeared, miss those days

  • @LaZafra1 He put out a second album in 2008 called "In the Temple of the Muse," and he is working on a third album now. I don't know if the world just wasn't ready for his music or he didn't get the promotion he deserved or what, but I can listen to his albums on repeat for hours and never get tired of them--every time I listen, I discover something new. Martin Page's talent is a rare treasure. I wish more people appreciated it!

  • This song reminds me of a brutal head cold I had as a child. Thanks Martin.

  • Very Sublime!

  • Comment removed

  • Great song! One of the 1990 best!

  • I love this song :) ta ta ra ra ra ta ra ra ra ra ra...

  • A problem in this world today is THE GANG PROBLEM,on youtube.com,search LATIN KINGS CHICAGO,and find out about what these EVIL UNHUMANS,are doing,this concerns everybody in the world,think about it,what would the world be like if it was mainly dominated by the gangs?Do you really think wed have freedom anymore?You must think about these things,search online about how these gang members murder good innocent people who never deserved that,you must question these things.Its evil.

  • God works in mysterious ways.

  • @RAYMORE41 That he dose!!!

    But he has a plan for You and I!!!

  • NateSean, you should listen to the whole CD. "In my room" is a very beautiful yet sad song that tells the story of how many people live in violent homes.

  • Just listen to the words.  I'ts about a sinner being saved just in time.

  • Comment removed

  • Pause it at 2:01. Tell me what that looks like.

  • @slutlust , the DNA of the children capable of immortality

  • When I first heard this song I thought it was by Sting.

  • @XxowendanxX I was thinking the same thing, until looking on here. Cheers

  • @dharmaseed I googled "in the house of stone and light sting" and nothing really came up then I found out it was by this martin page dude who I never heard of before...this song is amazing..

  • Haha I'm 16 and I like this song, but i honestly don't care what anyone thinks!:) I think 70/80/90's music is all really great and nothing compared to the music we have today.

  • @erinrl12 Enjoyed your opinion!! :) I love the 80's.... what a great time!! Nice songs! Nice groups! Less meanless at men harts!! And I am 36 ;) Almost 37!! :p Kisses! Crissy

  • @erinrl12 I agree. I personally grew up in the 80's and in high school til 96'. The music then was awesome. Most music today is okay but nothing like it was back then.

  • @erinrl12 im more in love with 60's songs

  • @erinrl12 you shouldn't care... and age should not matter. I love 60 and 70's music more than my own generation music. it just shows we have a deeper appreciation for wonderful music!

  • @erinrl12 I couldn't agree more. you must be the smartest 16 yr old when it comes to music.

  • @erinrl12 i agree good for \you

  • @erinrl12 You said it. I am definitely a kid from the nineties, in fact I had the cassette of martin page. not sure what happened to it, but its still a great song.

  • Love his music

  • I thought back them it was Sting for sure. Some said Michael Bolton...huh? Definitely Sting-like.

  • @NYVoice I thought I was the only one who thought it was Sting who did this song! His voice and music definitely resembles Sting

  • I remember this well. what a well written, tasteful song. it's sublime and makes you feel good at the same time. good work Mr. page.

  • any relation to Richard Page of Mr. Mister fame?

  • Sublime

  • @Milanzar 40 oz. to freedom

  • @GoGoGadgetBeer Ahaha sorry I just saw your answer :) well "sublime" means... amazing, wonderful, beautiful, in french... :) Lol sorry I don't quite know how to explain! But anyway I guess your music tastes are good ;)

  • Martin Page, is a talented song writer and performer, who reached a path of enlightenment with this song."It's been too long my spirits been at war havasupi Shaman let me be reborn. He takes for all schools of thought and tries to make it accesible to everyone. Thank you for this song. It has gotten me through some hard times.

  • who is the hauntingly beautiful woman? is it a dead lover? does he miss her?

  • WHOOOOSH!!! Damn, I actually remember this song!

  • I WANT A TIME MACHINE!! GOOD TIMESSS!!!!

  • can get 150 to 213 on its own?

    love that part, not a huge fan of the rest

  • In Lucas,Kansas,S.P. Dinsmoor built a house made of stone. He made it like a log cabin. I guess that is what I think of when I hear this.

  • In Lucas,Kansas,S. P. Dinsmoor built a house made from stone. He made it just like a log cabin. That is what this song makes me think of. He called it The Garden of Eden

  • I miss the 90s

  • Martin Page is like the Michael Bolton of Britain!

  • I could listen to this every day and not get sick of it.

  • His songs have been recorded by a million artists. One distiniction he does have is one of his songs was voted the #1 worst song of all time by readers of Rolling Stone magazine. It was " We Built This City" by the Starship. On top of everything else, this man is a phenomenal bass player !

  • wow.... good memories with this song... i wish i could go back to this year.. thank you

  • Thank You!!
