The test as to whether a SONG ROCKS OR NOT, is that if it STILL SOUNDS great years after it was popular. Eddy Grant and this song pass the test with flying colours..
I have a young friend who always reminds me of this song. He's a really great guy, but somewhere, someone has really hurt him badly. We have most of North America between us, but every time we talk all I can think of is "every night and every day, gonna love the hurting away". I wish I could get him to see himself for the awesome person he really is.
I was 20 when this came out. It was background music when Kathleen Turner & Michael Douglas were at the hacienda in Mexico. I bought the cassette the next day -- the trac was so good I had to buy it. Drove around Huntington Bch. with Eddie blasting. Sounds silly but great times💓💓😁😁🎉
I wish Zemeckis had used this song more prominently in the movie. It's catchy, it was a hit, and I think the lyrics are clever: "Never leaving your poor heart alone," ie. El Corazon, the heart stone. It's a shame it wasn't featured in the film and is virtually forgotten today.
+Thom Clark I'm guessing someone high up wasn't too fond of the song, so it just got a few seconds of play when Joan and Jack go into the bellmaker's house.
I saw the movie (a heck of a long time ago) in a movie theatre in Mexico City, this music was performed in the end titles and peoplw did not leave the theatre until it ended because they loved it! So did I, by the way.
Gringo who met a Colombian 35 years ago in Denver. I watched this movie as a teenager and romanticized the country for years. Moved to colombia with my Colombian wife for 6 years and loved it. I’m about to retire and will spend the majority of my time in Colombia. Beautiful country and and people. I love Colombia.
I love the film, and song, Romancing The Stone. I went to the theatre to watch it with my Grandma and brother, when I was a teenager. I had the best time seeing that movie and being with my Grandma.
Never understood why this wasn't more of a hit. You can briefly hear it being played in the movie when Jack and Joan are in the house of the "bell-maker."
@@fleece96 That’s a possibility but Eddy Grant said that was BS it was made in plenty of time, which there is always 3 sides to every story. There was some kind of ego clash or $$$$ conflict involved. Anyway it’s a great song.
"Romancing The Stone" I'm romancing the stone Never leaving your poor heart alone Every night and every day Gonna love the hurting away I'm romancing the stone Never leaving your poor heart alone Every night and every day Gonna love the heartache away Tonight, tonight I'm falling where the peaceful waters flow Where the unicorn's the last one at the water hole I have found a love so precious like an emerald so bold It's a firelight escaping from the jeweller's hold. I'm romancing the stone Never leaving your poor heart alone Every night and every day Gonna love the hurting away I'm romancing the stone Never leaving your poor heart alone Every night and every day Gonna love the heartache away [guitar solo] I'm romancing the stone Never leaving your poor heart alone Every night and every day Gonna love the hurting away I'm romancing the stone Never leaving your poor heart alone Every night and every day Gonna love the heartache away Oh and in the heat of rapture when I feel the cold winds blow Through the broken glass I'll see at last the sweet desire in you I will climb up on my pulpit and I'll preach a sermon you On the mountain roads in Harlem feel my jeweller's hold. I'm romancing the stone Never leaving your poor heart alone Every night and every day Gonna love the hurting away I'm romancing the stone Never leaving your poor heart alone Every night and every day Gonna love the heartache away
So many years have gone by since I first heard this song. Yet, each time I hear it today it stills ROCKS as it did back then...I wonder how many of today's "hits" will sound as good as this one in a couple of years..
When I first heard this on the radio, I was driving back from North Carolina back to California and was about to rest in Flagstaff Arizona in June 1984. I thought it was native American Indians were singing this song til months later I heard the name of the author.
I am 56, and I remember seeing those two movies in the theater in the 1980s. We thought for sure more great sequels were on the way, but it never happened.
I’m 50. According to Wikipedia there was in fact a eventual third film planned, which I had no idea about before. Mixed reaction to Jewel of The Nile seemed to nix it and it didn’t get past development. I can’t believe someone was even considering a remake/reboot (ugh shudder)
Yes, he really is making his guitar cry. On the album "Plaisance", there is a great song called, "Now We're All Together", where the guitar is just as good if not better.
The Jamaican invasion. Bob Marley, Reggae ,Grace Jones, Eddy Grant, Billy Ocean , plus many others. The Police used Jamaican sounds in their early work extensively.
R V I thought that he was from Jamaica. In the 1980s we didnt have internet :-) I still love his music a lot. I looked up his bio and yes he is Guyana-British citizen. (Guyanese? ) Thanks for the tip.
Oh and in the heat of rapture when I feel the cold winds blow Through the broken glass, I'll see at last the sweet desire in you I will climb up on my pulpit and I'll preach a sermon, you On the mountain roads, in Harlem, feel my jeweler's hold I'm romancing the stone, never leaving your poor heart alone Every night and every day gonna love the hurtin' away I'm romancing the stone, never leaving your poor heart alone Every night and every day gonna love the hurtin' away
I wouldn't go around saying that Mr. Grant is rich. It's disrespectful. It is appropriate to say that Mr. Grant is a superb composer, arranger and, in case you weren't aware of it, he performs every instrument on his solo albums.
This song is such a classic! This takes me back to my middle school years in the ‘80s! Great song! Thank you so much for taking me back to the simple years of life!
I heard this song on the radio today, and though I remembered it. I knew I really liked it when the movie was released. It is so good to hear it again, and I enjoy the song even more today.
I came here because I just watched a video of one hit wonders of the '80s and one of the selections was Electric Avenue. I knew that wasn't true and it reminded me of this great song!
Fantastic song...producers were DEAD WRONG not using this....THIS SONG is what reminded me of the movie to show to my daughters recently...the theme melody stuck in my head after all these years....
This is a classic song. Eddie Grant is one of my favorite song Artists. I have fond memories getting to go the show with my grandma Podle and sibling, brother, Donald, to see Romancing The Stone in the Theatre. It was one of the best movies I have seen to date, with much liveliness, excellent story, love, adventure, and, .... that gorgeous stone. Thank you.
I was a teen when this movie came out. Was super excited to see it! Because tho I’d never heard of Kathleen turner I had a crush on Michael Douglas because of his role as Steve Keller on the Streets of San Francisco which my dad and I both watched. He took me see this movie and I loved it!! I just watched it again in 2020 for the first time in ages. This swashbuckling song should have been released to be a hit and feels me with all kinds of nostalgia. God I miss the 80s.
Wow - growing up as a white Guyanese and being exposed to so many experiences in race relations - these songs are coming back to me like a storm - especially knowing that he was also from Guyana I didn’t really appreciate how good an artist Eddy was when I was young - now I can’t stop listening to him.

Can we please go back to the 80s?? Who’s coming with me??
I will tackle anyone in my way like Refidgerator Perry to get to a time machine.

And still sounds great now and soon into 2022
Electric Avenue!

Can't believe it only got au few seconds in the movie
Yea the casio keyboard part is amazing.
Christ, people have really bad taste
who is listening in 2024
Me !!!
Me !!! And in every year prior… and every upcoming year.
I am....60 this yr
Of course !
Love this song still!
This was one of his best songs and it should have been just a big a hit as "Electric Avenue" was. The lyrics in this song are great.
Agreed!
definitely
Lyrics and rhythm are so so good, better than EE but it was just a music soundtrack foible and never took off, sadly.
TRUST US
I have a young friend who always reminds me of this song. He's a really great guy, but somewhere, someone has really hurt him badly.

Drove around Huntington Bch. with Eddie blasting. Sounds silly but great times💓💓😁😁🎉
Dont know you butbi picture u driving aound in 84...mustve been gpodtimes in deed
Thanks for the info. I thought this song was not in the movie and always wondered why.😂
I wish Zemeckis had used this song more prominently in the movie. It's catchy, it was a hit, and I think the lyrics are clever: "Never leaving your poor heart alone," ie. El Corazon, the heart stone. It's a shame it wasn't featured in the film and is virtually forgotten today.
The bass line together with Eddy's voice made a permanent impression on my memory.
Good God! This is like a tonic~ I'm 60 and I..I'm dancing all over the house!😯😑😊😳
Was never actually used in the Movie, which is sad, because it's a GREAT song.
+Thom Clark Well, actually about 5 seconds of the instrumental break in the middle of the song was......
+Thom Clark I'm guessing someone high up wasn't too fond of the song, so it just got a few seconds of play when Joan and Jack go into the bellmaker's house.
Yes it was used.
I would've definitely used it to play out the end credits.
I saw the movie (a heck of a long time ago) in a movie theatre in Mexico City, this music was performed in the end titles and peoplw did not leave the theatre until it ended because they loved it! So did I, by the way.
This song always makes me feel like I should go on an adventure quest.
good song that should have been as big as "Electric Avenue".
Couldn't agree more!
+Doobie1975 There was so much excellent music in 1984, not every great track could make it to the top !
+ya and they never play this on the radio
+Marylou Garcia 😂
I think the movie did better than the song......XD
RIP to my step dad marvin who died this year and RIP to my mother they love this song
I'm sorry.
❤
Romancing the Stone was well received by critics and is considered by some as among the best films of 1984
I can’t believe so many years have passed.
takes me back to a simpler time
I Know!!!!
yup..80's was the best generation
They'll never take it away from us!!
Me too!
Gringo who met a Colombian 35 years ago in Denver. I watched this movie as a teenager and romanticized the country for years. Moved to colombia with my Colombian wife for 6 years and loved it. I’m about to retire and will spend the majority of my time in Colombia. Beautiful country and and people. I love Colombia.
Yes! I'm finding myself singing this song just out of the blue for some unknown reason!
That's why I came here the song just entered my head for no reason
@@brucebergeron9378 Same here, friends!
just make sure you get on the right bus
who remembers this
... I do !!! ...
I remember!
I remember when it played on the airwaves when I was 13
Never heard of this song...and I'm a big fan of the movie..seen it a billion times..so weird
I do !!!
This was my favorite Eddy Grant song of all time. They should remake this movie!!!
Yes! Who would play the parts?
Nah. Leave it the hell alone. Remakes suck!
Please NO MORE REMAKES!!! Nothing makes me stay away like a remake. This movie is perfection!!!!!
I love the film, and song, Romancing The Stone. I went to the theatre to watch it with my Grandma and brother, when I was a teenager. I had the best time seeing that movie and being with my Grandma.
Great underrated song by this legend.
Another stupid underrated comment.
@@DawgcityClev lol why
Love that 🎸 solo
No question. Saw him live back in the 80's. One of the best shows I've ever been to.
Lol. This song got it just dues.
Never understood why this wasn't more of a hit. You can briefly hear it being played in the movie when Jack and Joan are in the house of the "bell-maker."
I never understood it either. Blows Electric Ave. away.
He took to long in making it and missed the deadline for the movie
Great tune
It was on my hip hop 84 album
@@fleece96 That’s a possibility but Eddy Grant said that was BS it was made in plenty of time, which there is always 3 sides to every story. There was some kind of ego clash or $$$$ conflict involved. Anyway it’s a great song.
Eddy Grant, Serbia loves you.
jes vi lov him
2020 yes
Улица «Електрик», Београд 🇷🇸

What gives you the right to speak for an entire nation?
Eddy grants music just makes you feel good and positive and it's happy and uplifting
2020: the movies of the 80's didn't age as well as the music. Most of the music then could be released now and still do good on the charts.
Except for Streets of Fire
You’re mad. The films are classics
"Romancing The Stone"
I'm romancing the stone
Never leaving your poor heart alone
Every night and every day
Gonna love the hurting away
I'm romancing the stone
Never leaving your poor heart alone
Every night and every day
Gonna love the heartache away
Tonight, tonight I'm falling where the peaceful waters flow
Where the unicorn's the last one at the water hole
I have found a love so precious like an emerald so bold
It's a firelight escaping from the jeweller's hold.
I'm romancing the stone
Never leaving your poor heart alone
Every night and every day
Gonna love the hurting away
I'm romancing the stone
Never leaving your poor heart alone
Every night and every day
Gonna love the heartache away
[guitar solo]
I'm romancing the stone
Never leaving your poor heart alone
Every night and every day
Gonna love the hurting away
I'm romancing the stone
Never leaving your poor heart alone
Every night and every day
Gonna love the heartache away
Oh and in the heat of rapture when I feel the cold winds blow
Through the broken glass I'll see at last the sweet desire in you
I will climb up on my pulpit and I'll preach a sermon you
On the mountain roads in Harlem feel my jeweller's hold.
I'm romancing the stone
Never leaving your poor heart alone
Every night and every day
Gonna love the hurting away
I'm romancing the stone
Never leaving your poor heart alone
Every night and every day
Gonna love the heartache away
whats that text?
Yeah...but what does it mean?
Great song. Thanks for the text!
This song is sooooooo underrated!!
They just Don't make Music Like This Nomore
40 years 🎂 Written by Eddy Grant. From the movie 🎥 I like the movie and the song.
How can you not LOVE this song, makes you want to jump up on the table and dance................:)
This song just randomly popped in my head after not hearing it in decades and had yo hear it. What a blast from the past, I do miss those days.
Love the fact that Eddy Grants part of this Video was Filmed in St. Lucia.
So many years have gone by since I first heard this song. Yet, each time I hear it today it stills ROCKS as it did back then...I wonder how many of today's "hits" will sound as good as this one in a couple of years..
It has been 5 years since you posted, and it has gotten worse!
The answer to your question: Zero!
I was 11 when this song and movie came out, loved both of them, still do. Miss this era of everything.
It’s a testimony to how good the music from the 80’s was that a great song like this was by and large ignored.
By and large is a physical impossibility. You can be by, or large, but not both at the same time. (Sailing vernacular)
@@maniyan_wanagi I've taken shits smarter than you STFU
I remember it was on MTV constantly at the same time as the movie was out in theaters.
When I first heard this on the radio, I was driving back from North Carolina back to California and was about to rest in Flagstaff Arizona in June 1984. I thought it was native American Indians were singing this song til months later I heard the name of the author.
Haven’t heard this song since I was in high school & came on radio over weekend.. omg great memories!!!

Can't beat a bit of Eddie grant loved him since the 80:s 😊keep smiling

WANTED TIME MACHINE to take me back to the 1980s
I am listening this song over and over again every day....my new favorite song!!!!!
Eddie Grant is very wealthy! Kudos. Hope he is still getting his residual income from his music. He deserves it.
I wouldn't go around saying that Mr. Grant is rich. It's disrespectful.

Oh hell yeah!-I feel stagnant, sometimes..then I listen 2 this music from the past and then I'm wiggling and dancing all around the house!!! AMEN~ 😌😳
Super underrated song, never to be played on terrestrial radio.
Take me back to the 80s.....listening in the summer of 2024
Timeless classic....
I heard this song on the radio today, and though I remembered it. I knew I really liked it when the movie was released. It is so good to hear it again, and I enjoy the song even more today.
Toyota1949 hearing this on the radio is rare cause ive never heard it on their
Absolutely love this song, even if it is almost 40 years old
ANOTHER TIMELESS CLASSIC! 80"S MUSIC RULES!! the dj
it's my childhood song... what a great time it was and the music is magical...
Four decades ago this rap/reggae tune appeared on the scene. It was just as appealing as the movie that it came from!
Great movie and great song.
His best song. Regards from Poland.
Served my LDS mission in Colombia. Same isolated roads, jungles & rain.
What a music, even 35 years later super!
Greetings from Budapest, thanks for upload!
First time I heard this in over 20 years. Can't get it out of my head, nor do I want to. Excellent guitar solo
I came here because I just watched a video of one hit wonders of the '80s and one of the selections was Electric Avenue. I knew that wasn't true and it reminded me of this great song!
Such a great tune that was only in the movie for like 10 seconds
Rick Pegram I remember he said he'd never do it again for a movie
I was romancing the stone last year,,but I'm here in 2020 because of great Eddy,,❤
Man, I forgot all about this song. Equal to Electric Avenue in every sense of the word
Tune still sounds fresh In may 2020 uk lockdown house arrest!!!🍺🍻🍾🥳🥳🥳
Fantastic song...producers were DEAD WRONG not using this....THIS SONG is what reminded me of the movie to show to my daughters recently...the theme melody stuck in my head after all these years....
Love Eddie. From Kentucky USA here. He is awesome
The 80 s were great for movies music I need a time machine I can’t stand this era we’re living in now with this covid that’s going on
That guitar wailing timeless !! Master Eddie
It was cruel to make us leave the 80’s behind.
I'm still there mentally.
This is a classic song. Eddie Grant is one of my favorite song Artists. I have fond memories getting to go the show with my grandma Podle and sibling, brother, Donald, to see Romancing The Stone in the Theatre.

I love this song.thank you for the great tunes Mr Eddie grant😇😋😊😊😉
I was a teen when this movie came out. Was super excited to see it! Because tho I’d never heard of Kathleen turner I had a crush on Michael Douglas because of his role as Steve Keller on the Streets of San Francisco which my dad and I both watched.

This makes me wanna rock down to Electric Avenue.
I'll come with ya!
@damitdan1 I was born in 77 and this song brings back some good memories for me too. I am thankful that I got to grow up in the 80s.
Love this I can’t believe 1984 holy cow when I graduated feels like 10 years ago
great bassline...love it!
I always loved this song. *:)*
I, out of the blue, just started singing it; and had to watch and listen to it, for old times sake. *:)*
From way back when we didn't know how good we had it.
Man the 80s is without comparison!
I liked this better than "Electric Avenue"!
Hell yeah! Great song!!
Who still loves this song...and great movie!!!
Wow - growing up as a white Guyanese and being exposed to so many experiences in race relations - these songs are coming back to me like a storm - especially knowing that he was also from Guyana I didn’t really appreciate how good an artist Eddy was when I was young - now I can’t stop listening to him.
i remember this comming out. i taught dance classes and this song was perfect. love it!
Eddy Grant is awesome, all the way back to the Equals.
The only thing worse than having a song stuck in your head is having a song stuck in your head that you don't know the lyrics to.
Very nice song
I’ve always loved this song ❤❤❤❤❤
Eddy Grant songs make me happy.
The rhythm guitar sounds incredible unique perfect
Never knew this existed, thought I knew everything about the movie. Once again thank you, youtube.

Straight up stone cold jam.....i love michael douglas and kathleen turner.....

Great song from a great movie. Everytime I see or read something about Columbia I think of that song..
