I love this tune originally sung by Quebequois singer Fabienne Thibeault in the French show Starmania (1978). "Le monde est stone" is very well known in Quebec and European francophonic countries, and has never left the top most loved songs ever since. Cyndi gives it a beautiful English version. Love you, Cyndi Lauper 💜
Reading the comments... do people not know this is a cover from the French Canadian (Québecois) rock opera Starmania?? Written by Michel Berger if I'm not mistaken. Still I adore Cyndi Lauper. Beautiful cover.
noone really cares who wrote the songs she sings, as long as its her. Half of her two first albums were covers or written by Prince. I understand the desire to tell us as a musician myself but........ it could be any song and as long as her voice is on it..... its gold
How was this NOT on the essential Cyndi Lauper album!!!????? Beautiful,up there with I drove all night and All through the night!!! To of her most beautiful vocal performances!!
I worked on this song by French composer Michel Berger, from a play called Starmania performed on-stage in France. Cyndi was one of the few American pop stars chosen to interpret songs from the soundtrack. This recording took place at the former Hit Factory studios, NYC, with Australian engineer Guy Gray in the first chair, and myself in tje second. The producers were C. Lauper and Peter Wood, a legendary keyboardist and a great person! We engineered the recordings and mixed two songs from Starmania. Cyndi's performance of this song brought the songwriter, Mr. Berger to tears. Amazing experience, and wonderful people involved in it's production! A gem.
A #2 smash in France in 1992 (a whopping 3 months in the Top 5) and the European Chart's #55 song of the year. It's a shame that grunge and rap (sorry, I like few of those artists) controlled the 90s market in America forcing great musicians off the pop radio stations in favor of music that has not stood the test of time. She made history bursting onto the scene with four top 5 songs off her debut in 1983, with Time After Time being covered by hundreds since, and 30 years later completed a trifecta of great works with #1's on the Blues and Dance charts between 2008-10 and a 2013 Tony Award for best musical score (the first solo woman to do so). Cyndi, you are adored by many worldwide who love your vocal talents! Get her in the HOF in Cleveland, c'mon!
Cyndi you still have a voice of gold . I've been a fan of yours since my teen years I'm now 41 and you are still the best! Your songs have gotten me through some pretty rough times thank you. A voice as beautiful as an angel and you are still just as beautiful too. Love from iowa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "Le monde est stone" (meaning "the world is stone") is a song written and produced by Michel Berger and Luc Plamondon for the 1978 Canadian-French musical Starmania. It was originally performed by Fabienne Thibeault and released on the Starmania album in 1978. The English-language version of the song with lyrics by Tim Rice, titled "The World Is Stone", was recorded by American singer Cyndi Lauper and released on the Tycoon album in 1992. Celine Dion recorded "Le monde est stone" for her 1991 album, Dion chante Plamondon.
But it's hard when you are and then it's turned against you...hard to know who to trust. Depends though...who you are,where are you from and if You've just had enough. Just saying.
Did you know this is a French song called "Le monde est stone" from the musical "Starmania". it has been written by Michel Berger. It is of course a beautiful rendition by Cyndi Lauper.
This is one of those hidden gems in a career that overall never got the attention and recognition it deserved. Everyone points out the major influence Madonna had on GaGa, however we should not forget the impact Ms. Lauper had on pop culture
Stone the world is stone It's no trick of the light It's hard on the soul Stone the world is stone Cold to the touch And hard on the soul In the grey of the streets In the neon unknown I look for a sign That im not on my own That im not here alone As the still of the night And the choke of the air And the winners delight And the losers despair Closes in left and right I would love not ot care Stone, the world is stone From the far away look Without stars in my eyes Throught the halls of the rich And the flats of the poor Wherever i go Theres no warmth anymore Theres no love anymore So i turn on my heels Im declining the fall Ive had all i can take With my back to the wall Tell the world im not in Im not taking the call Stone the world is stone But i saw it once With the stars in my eyes When each colour rang out In a thunderous chrome Its no trick of the light I cant find my way home In a world made of stone
This voice!!! I pray one day I can see her live... well, is tea time to much to ask. I have loved this woman since I was walking in my moms high heel boots in the 80's!! XOXOXO come to Louisville please!!!
My favorite song of Cyndi. So beautiful, and I’ve cried my eyes out, so many times on this song, when I felt heartbroken or when the world felt like chrome. 🖤
Totally amazing song from a Singer that i loved since i was a kid she was my inspiration that made me be able to be myself and she has a amazing voice.
L'album Starmania a marqué mon adolescence!!! Et cette chanson en version française (Le monde est stone) demeure l'une des plus belles. I had never head this version in English. Beautiful too. Love Cyndi Lauper.
I remember when this single came out, I was floored. I still am. This is one of those songs that I relate to so deep in my soul that I could not imagine life without it. I find myself singing this a lot when Im homeless (like now). Thank you for this gem, my dear friend
@@jeremieazencot3379 And Tim Rice for the English lyrics (he tried adapting Starmania into "Tycoon" but sadly it never took off more than the concept album, which this song is from)
Even bigger hit in the UK In France it ont reached number 2 ..such a shame as it s wonderful...other countries totally ignored this jewell ...shame,shame,shame 💩
I'd kill to hear it live, but if she does not sing it in Montreal, there's almost no chance it will ever happen. It's on of my favorite song from Starmania
I remember finding and buying this cd single and it was a UK Import. The CD had only 2 songs on it....." The World Is Stone" and "You Have To Learn To Live Alone". I was so excited I couldn't wait to get home and hear these songs. And of course, she blew me away with these songs I'd never heard. I was so excited because I hadn't heard any new music from her
Being Francophone I first heard and loved this very important song and here Cyndi proves that a good song can be well adapted and very well felt and sung. Bravo Cyndi.
Cyndi sweetly and humbly showing her range and versatility. True talent doesn’t need to brag. Cyndi is a rare combination of being relatable and otherworldly at the same time. Happy 70th birthday! ❤
Vejo fãs se debatendo e digladiando por seus cantores, cada um considerando melhor a rainha pop ou algo assim. Na verdade, todas até cantam bem. O que diferencia a Cyndi Lauper das demais é que, além de cantar, ela interpreta com alma tudo o que canta. Observem isso e sintam o porquê de ela permanecer por tanto tempo encantando a todos, muitos das novas gerações, inclusive.
Should have been a bigger hit for her here in the U.S. . Something so beautifully melancholy about this song. I listen to this on my darkest days when the world is, indeed, stone. Would love to see her re-record this with someone like Cher or Annie Lennox.
This is one of Cyndi's most beautiful song's. The lyrics so true in a world we live in. I'm glad the video has been posted and uploaded on vevo. Love Cyndi Lauper.
The original song was extremely sad. It was written by a Canadian and a French singer/composer. The original is called Le monde est stone, as the original song meant the world is so messed up it feels like it is stoned as in not being rational. The rest of the French lyrics are about this woman who feels like hell and is so depressed she just wants to end it.
@@christopher5040 in fact, I would add that the French make a mistake saying 'je suis stone' as the English expression would be 'I am stoned'. The word 'stone' in French specifically relates to having smoked cannabis and feeling 'stoned' as people use to say in the old days.
Cindy always brings me back to the 80's , love her so much. 🎧 Thank you for your fantastic music , it helped and still helping me in the bad and good days of my life. ❤
Still sounding great on Tuesday 22nd June 2021. Today is Cyndi's Birthday too. I remember when this song came out back in 1992 and seeing Cyndi perform this live. Amazing :)
This song is a masterpiece. It deserved a US release! It goes in that magical, undefinable category along with songs of this era, like "Love Thy Will Be Done" by Martika, and "Stay" by Shakespeare's Sister.
that's true. I also love Marika's ,, love thy will be done'' and of course Shakespeare's sisters songs. Hello turn the radio on is one of my favourites!!!
My very good friend Olivier.B died on 12th of July 1992 from free diving alone, we were 17. At that time this song was often on TV and it reminds me this tragic event. He was such a brilliant, smart and kind person. His parents never recovered from this loss. They are now gone too, may they found the rest.Today I listen to this song in his memory. RIP my friend Olivier.B you are still in my heart.

Shame that has been covered a number of times, and was even known back then for those who actually read the "small print".
Cyndi, thank you for this beautiful song. We must be the kindness we want to see in this world.
You should listen the original french version
But it's hard when you are and then it's turned against you...hard to know who to trust. Depends though...who you are,where are you from and if You've just had enough. Just saying.

@@iconicalex Sisters of Avalon is probably one of her best album and that was released in the late 90s

The best vocal ever.
We love you,Cyndi, all ex Yugoslavia loved you always.
One of the most underrated songs ever! The video is so haunting but beautiful!
It was a big success in France
@@SVETLANA-pm2dy because it's a french opera rock
Stone the world is stone
It's no trick of the light
It's hard on the soul
Stone the world is stone
Cold to the touch
And hard on the soul
In the grey of the streets
In the neon unknown
I look for a sign
That im not on my own
That im not here alone
As the still of the night
And the choke of the air
And the winners delight
And the losers despair
Closes in left and right
I would love not ot care
Stone, the world is stone
From the far away look
Without stars in my eyes
Throught the halls of the rich
And the flats of the poor
Wherever i go
Theres no warmth anymore
Theres no love anymore
So i turn on my heels
Im declining the fall
Ive had all i can take
With my back to the wall
Tell the world im not in
Im not taking the call
Stone the world is stone
But i saw it once
With the stars in my eyes
When each colour rang out
In a thunderous chrome
Its no trick of the light
I cant find my way home
In a world made of stone
Thank you for sharing good lesson 🙏🙏
Thank you. I was singing with this lyric help!! 🌟🖤😭🇧🇷👏🏼 EPIC SONG. PERFECT. ALWAYS. NOT MATTER THE TIME
