Radio sucked back in the 1980s, IN FACT I seldom listened to it!! THIS SONG, played a lot of MTV back in the days when they actually played music videos instead of the garbage they have now!! I had the 45 rpm of this song, and recorded it to cassette tape to play in my car!! Trust me in the 1980s, anybody worth their weight OWNED a cassette deck or five, and your mixed tapes WERE your life!! My tape collection ran through those decks almost constantly, because there was nothing on the radio ANYBODY would want to actually listen too!! And you can only listen to Micheal Jackson's Thiller 92 times in an hour, before you want to drag the D.J. out into the street and slap him silly!!!! At least that is how the local radio stations were around here, and I know it is a bit of an exaggeration, BUT I was working at a pizza shop in 1984, and they literally played Thriller, 10 times in a single hour!! Like DUDE there are other bands out there to listen to, and I have nothing against Micheal or Thriller, BUT here it is 2023 and I still never want to hear that song ever again!!! And we had a lot of other great bands like Billy Ocean, Ray Parker Junior, Prince, David Bowie, Elton John, Chaka Khan, Devo, and The Hooters. We also had great heavy metal bands, like Def Leppard, Twisted Sister, Iron Maiden, Ozzy, and Judas Priest....but local D.J.s would get stuck playing ONE SONG, and that is all you heard!!! And I live in Upstate New York, where you'd think a state as liberal as mine is, we'd have more heavy metal stations, but NO!!!! It wasn't until the late 1990s that we could hear Scorpions on the radio as "classic music"!!!
@gregrak9389 in all fairness, I'm 70 and was deep into the music of Eddy Grant back then. I remember that song " Romancing the Stone" being played ,however can't recall on what channels, etc. Even back then music was highly regulated and sadly many talented artists weren't given the esposure deserving .
Actually, this song did get a lot of airplay on both MTV (back when the main channel actually played videos) and on radio as the lead off single to movie soundtrack by the same name. Originally released by ICE Records internationally and distributed in the US on CBS'es (now Sony) Portrait Records label.
eddie grant was the first artist after abba that I listened to every single day on the old fashioned cassette tapes for one whole year. I played it on my small tape recorder when I woke up at six am; played it before going to class; played it after class; then one before bed time. I was 9 years old then. 1981.
This song reminds me of going to my hometown fair in early 80s. There was a girl called Montaña I thought she was a goddess. I stared at her during the rides while this song played. Nice innocent times
Reading these comments this a very underrated tune so underrated I don't remember this song at all I discovered it in the early 00s on a best of Eddy Grant CD
I’m romancing the stone, never leaving your poor heart alone Every night & every day gonna love the hurtin’ away I’m romancing the stone, never leaving your poor heart alone Every night & every day gonna love the hurtin’ away Tonight, tonight I’m falling where the peaceful water flows Where the unicorns 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 jewelers 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 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 my pulpit and I’ll preach a sermon, you On the mountain roads, in Harlem, feel my jewelers 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
This song makes me feel so 1984 again even though I was 12 years old this song was on MTV everyday back then I will always love this song this song never gets old
i swear to the sun i have only seen this movie maybe once back in the 80s.But that music probably at the end credits stuck in my memory. and i was right about the melody and rythm hahaha 40 years memories from a 20 seconds chorus .
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 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 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 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 Source: LyricFind
iTunes SUCK!! They don’t even have this song in there. And Electric Avenue is on the Pineapple Express soundtrack and you gotta buy the album?? Epic Eddy Grant.
This song is sooo underrated! ‘80s gold!
This song is turning 40 this year but man does it sound fresh and timeless.
I don't understand why this song did not get more air play back in the day it's one of my favorite 80's songs!!!
It was on MTV constantly in 1984.
@@E.C.2 the reject that made that comment was probably not even born in 1984.

TH-cam is the only place to find this rare song 😃👍
You can’t even get it on iTunes 🤬🤬🤬😡😡
I don't understand why Romancing the Stone isn't played more than Electric Avenue 😕
Both are great songs!!! Takes me back!!
100% right. I think this one is better!
Romancing the Stone is a billion times better than Electric Avenue.
Absolutely LOVE this song💖
Pure 🔥
Parece tema de filme top
I forgot about this song and then from out of nowhere I remembered and here I am
Reminding you about the song again
Same

Cool. Why did you wake up at 6:00 AM as a child, though?
@@BilisNegra lmao
@@BilisNegraKids are made to go to school by 7 or 8AM. Or at least they used to be
@@trashyraccoon2615 I remember my start time for my elementary school was 8:30 am.
👍💕
My favorite Eddie Grant song😙🎶
Mine too i a teenager when this came out along with the movie it went with ... still love it to this day ❤
Mine 2
Can’t believe this ain’t in the movie. This can still change the world if you let it ❤
Thought it was in my young mangled memory, weird how that happens.
It was. Only a small part of it though. When Joan & Jack were at the drug lord's mansion.
A lot of memories attached with this song.A Sony Walkman , a sports bicycle, long muddy village roads......Precious days that are gone forever....
This song reminds me of going to my hometown fair in early 80s. There was a girl called Montaña I thought she was a goddess. I stared at her during the rides while this song played. Nice innocent times
I agree, the 80s. No subs,just loud home stereo speakers 😂. 40 years whooo
heavenly father.. thank you for the nineteen 80s!!!!
I think this is one of the best songs ever. Romancing mixes all the best elements of a great song together. It’s a great song.
Great great 80s' song. 16 when I first listened to it, 54 now...;) Thanks for sharing!

I’m romancing the stone, never leaving your poor heart alone
Every night & every day gonna love the hurtin’ away
I’m romancing the stone, never leaving your poor heart alone
Every night & every day gonna love the hurtin’ away
Tonight, tonight I’m falling where the peaceful water flows
Where the unicorns 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 jewelers 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
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 my pulpit and I’ll preach a sermon, you
On the mountain roads, in Harlem, feel my jewelers 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

Four decades ago this rap/reggae tune appeared on the scene. It was just as appealing as the movie that it came from!
Back here in 2024🙏🔥
Eddy is an artist. Even his pop songs (like this) are good.
👍 I ♡ the 80's! (Class of '83)
Better underground song than most overplayed on radio 💚💛❤️💯✌️
Romancing the the stone, because Love could be stoned, but our heart will survive, in trust, that could be magic, sometimes
2022 and we keep romancing the stone🙌🔥💚💎
The 80s are alive and well…on Sirius XM, iTunes, and such, anyway…
Rock on 🤘🏻 Dear Sister💚💛💙
An oldie but goodie 🎉
Fabulous song.
Great Artist !

Good cheesy 80's song! Was a but a wee lad when MTV played this all summer of 1984.
Cheesy? this is a classic, still banging it out 40yrs later
@@Johanna-iu6ly It was stated in a complimentary manner.
That's a great sound lead!
Great beat from start to finish. 80's is really a monster year music, no doubt about it.

The Guitar solo by Eddy is Awesome
@RyanGoddard my missing brother. Hope youre doing well and still spreading the uplifting sounds of King Eddie Grant. From Jeftha
Truly wild.
Certainly DOES have a certain vibe to it that one finds in a LOTTA synth wave or new wave music 🎶 from the 80s❤️🧡💛💚💙
Eddy Grant did indeed romance Mick Jagger in 66 but they broke it off but still ❤ each other
His guitar is kick ass
Absolute banger
Rest Easy dad. :|
Big up Eddy grant..and Rudy grant his brother
Epic song. Just epic !!! Right on par with Toto’s Africa, or Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean.
Now I wanna see the movie….
I DON'T WANNA DANCE
❤❤❤
Steve Ray Van,combined or???
I reed yer bewks…I REED ALL YER BEWKS!!
Share a 😢cab, with a co-worker! @“going the same way!0$$$”
It a fantastic song , I have to say better than electric Avenue.
Romance the stone. It is very difficult to do. Let's try.
(Croatian) Romantika kamena. Teško je to izvodivo. Pokušajmo.
Ja sam prije mislio da je romancing the stone neuzvracena ljubav
@@rox89dgo EACH SONG CAN HAVE A HIGHER MANING - DEPENDING OF THE EVENING.
Not on Spotify. Travesty
Or Santana
