20 years ago I was at a song writing event in Toronto and Stan was there and nobody seemed to realize who Stan was but I did because I had bought this very LP decades ago. So I went over and said hi and I told him I had his LP. And he goes “ oh YOU were the one who bought it” … 😅 its a good record.
My pleasure to post this for all to view. I asked Stan many months ago if I could post this on TH-cam. I understand he is looking at putting together a 'best of' compilation in the near future. Hopefully, he'll add a couple of new tunes for his fans to hear.
From the glimpse I caught of the last Juno awards, music like this will always be timeless and appreciated. I wish actual talent and self-respect with less degeneracy would make a comeback in Canadian music.
Yes, "Undertow" (released in 1992) is a monster of an album for Stan Meissner and it was grossly underrated; however, please be informed that "One Chance" came out half a decade earlier and was a giant hit in North America. (It even won a Canadian Juno award!) I hope Stan decides to release some new material in the near future. Don't forget to check out his late 90's project CD with Peter Fredette called "Metropolis". The album is called "The Power of The Night".
I just met Stan this weekend and was like who is this guy. Had to look him up! Super down to earth guy. I totally remember this song - it is such a great one!
First time hearing this version. I’ve only known of the Eddie Money version. This definitely has that 80’s sound, more pop like as Eddies version is more rock sounding
this man is so under-rated!!! and this song still resonates with me...* i bet if corey hart recorded it, it would have been huge in the states. **that is sad....
I love finding and reconnecting with all these great songs that were seemingly long forgotten, yet were somehow etched into my memory. Great music is timeless and the good feelings these songs always bring up are never diminished by the passing of time. One Chance is no exception. Thanks for posting curo3!
there are some great unexpected chord changes and surprising moments in this tune. The chorus itself seems to come out of nowhere, but fits perfectly. The chord at 1:08 in the pre-chorus is also a nice touch. Strong "tag"coming out of the choruses too. The shot of stan doing the fist clench through the window is a classic.
Thank you for this. I am a kid of the 80s and a self-professed music trivia pro but I totally forgot about this one. The scary thing is that I can still sing along after not hearing it since it was out. :)
Hey..can u remember a song with the line "I can't break away from you "..in it? From around the same time.. I thought it might be Stan Meissner but not sure..its a man with a similar voice. No search on the internet has helped!
This song was one of my absolute favorites from the mid 80's. When I was a DJ , I used to play this all the time early at socials. One of the most underated artist. I wish there were more videos of Stanon here.
It took many years trying to find a copy of that video from any source. It's too bad Stan Meissner didn't release any of his videos for retail purchase. I've tried finding them by contacting him directly through his former website and by trying to search out and reach former people at A&M Records to no success... Thanks for checking it out! I hope he releases another album at sometime in the future!
(Goosebumps) Driving to Peterborough in the middle of the night after my first ever girlfriend broke my little heart. (Chuckle) GodI loved that 82 Honda Civic! LOL Thanks for posting and letting me remember a time when things were so much simpler.
I have been looking for this song for years. It's like Stan Meissner has never even existed!! Thank you so much for posting this. I'd like to track this CD down though.
+AOR Spirit I see what your comment is and there's a good 80's Canadian rock song called 'The Girl Of My Dreams' by Bram Tchaikovsky. You might want to look it up.
Great song and a high-quality video! It's truly scary how DATED anything '80s looks. (A 'Mad Men'-type 'period' series about the '80s should be made...)
Ahhhh, Much Music. I used to watch this on the Much too. Back in the day when video music shows actually played music videos!! Erika Em, Chris Ward, that hot Steve guy! lol.
Stan's version is the original (he wrote the song). I like both versions of the song as each has their own unique characteristics. I think there's a lot more production in Eddie's version.
Didn't know there was a video for "I want Everything". Will check my old video tapes (BETA - HA HA!!!) to see if anything happened to get on there from the old CBC "Video Hits" days.
Eddie Money did this song too? wow i missed that. This was my fave song when I was eleven, but I just saw the vid for the first time, very 80's- major flashback!
I remember hearing this song years ago on the radio and didn't know who sang it. It wasn't until I saw the video a few years back on one of MuchMusic's 80's Weekend specials that I finally found out the song title and artist. I'm glad I was able to find it here on youtube, but I still can't get it on mp3.
Funny... I loved the song so much that I bought all the formats of this album. I first bought the single, then the LP, then the cassette tape (for my car back then), then finally the limited edition 24K gold pressing CD. It's still on my top 10 list of most played CD's/ MP3 albums. Have you heard Eddie Money's version of the song?
I've heard a brief clip of the Eddie Money version, but it was Stan Meissner's version that was my introduction to the song back then. Oddly enough, when I first heard this song (and before I found out who sang it), I mistook Meissner's vocals on the song for those of Corey Hart.
@jimP71 I haven’t seen Peterborough since 1988 I think. The place still has good memories for me, and I will go back there for a visit just as soon as I can get back to good old Ontario. (If Calgary doesn’t kill me first…. Right now it’s -20C here)
This guy , Stan Meissner, this song, the album Windows to Light are so precious.
When Canada was Canada and all was good.
20 years ago I was at a song writing event in Toronto and Stan was there and nobody seemed to realize who Stan was but I did because I had bought this very LP decades ago. So I went over and said hi and I told him I had his LP. And he goes “ oh YOU were the one who bought it” … 😅 its a good record.
this model must be his lady stans eyes light right up around her it shows how they love each other how sweet i love this
Such a haunting, achingly beautiful song... The '80s really were a great time for music, up here in Canada! :D
Song great The 80s in Canadian❤
ahhh the 80’s 😎 sure miss you 😘
If I missed the 80's in 2019, I really miss them in 2020 as we sit in isolation because of the pandemic. Agreed, sure do miss the 80's.
me too so good so gone

Back in the day, creepy stalking was much more romantic than it is nowadays.
😂
I'd looked for this song about 23 years until I found it in about 2009
From the glimpse I caught of the last Juno awards, music like this will always be timeless and appreciated. I wish actual talent and self-respect with less degeneracy would make a comeback in Canadian music.
I love this song. Reminds me of the mistakes I have made. So many mistakes.
we all made so many mistakes
we all been there this song makes me think of my youthful days i feel love
Yes me too love ❤
Love this great song ❤❤❤

Love 80s ever. AOR!
I don't know why he only made three albums throughout the course of his career if he had such a great singing voice.
I don't know why, but this song is classic...
Another classic from the 80s. I MISS it so much
Still listening to this in 2024.
I'm such a sap.....
Another great canadian 80s song!
I love this song...really beautiful.
Great Canadian classic from 1986.
this man is so under-rated!!! and this song still resonates with me...* i bet if corey hart recorded it, it would have been huge in the states. **that is sad....
I can't believe how much 80's music I've forgotten. What fun to rediscover it all!
Another classic song.
The truth is not many are as talented as Stan.Great ballad,signature song.The guy can write a great rock classic that's right on the money.
Describes my many relationships that I never realized until it was too late.
And she so looks like what I remember.
Such a great 80's tune..
greaties tune late eightys

That Stan Meissner's great, fantastic song.
every moment in life is held by a thread
I ' ll always remember this tune from 1986 / I had alot of fun during that year as a teenager - the memories from that tune too !
love this song
Was 18 Y/O in 86
This is a nice song. 😊
I like this song
One of the best AOR songs !
That boy is a great guitarist as well
Remember hearing this song back in New Jersey back in 1986
Great 80s song! High school!
I own this album , but couldn't get by this tune , over and over and over .
Great song!! Classic love song

Freakin' amazing CANCON! One of my favourite songs of that year... '86, I believe.
I never get tired of this song. Thanks so much for posting!
14 year old me seriously crushed on her.
This takes Obsession to whole New level for Breakups
Thank you for this. I am a kid of the 80s and a self-professed music trivia pro but I totally forgot about this one. The scary thing is that I can still sing along after not hearing it since it was out. :)

Hey its Borat chatting up the gal below his window! Didn't know he did a cameo.
Great tune...miss the 80s so much.
Love he's music
Damn great great song :D
Great 80's tune. Kind of always reminded me of Eddie Money. Am i crazy?
This is the original version. Stan Meissner wrote it and Eddie Money covered it a year later.
A Ha! That makes sense. Thanks.
+TheUnclerickie Both were same year, actually.
Cheesy video. Great song with many memories.
This song was one of my absolute favorites from the mid 80's. When I was a DJ , I used to play this all the time early at socials.
One of the most underated artist. I wish there were more videos of Stanon here.
This one of my fav Eddie Money songs his version is the best by far, u feel it, goes all the way down to the soul he puts such feeling in his songs
What a gem. Absolutly fantastic stuff, thanx for posting.
i wish there was more stan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing song and video.Stan rulez!!!Aor forever!!!

Haunting tune.

wow - I used to play this on the radio .. love it. Thx.
The late and great Eddie Money did a great version of this awesome song.
I have to give credit to the person who wrote this song. That's Stan Meissner.
That's a way cool coffee cup Stan has there. :)
The girl of my dreams
+AOR Spirit I see what your comment is and there's a good 80's Canadian rock song called 'The Girl Of My Dreams' by Bram Tchaikovsky. You might want to look it up.
I really like this version of the song. The video reminds me of a Lifetime Network movie. You know, the obsessive ex. 😒
Sin duda los 80 s saludos desde Ecuador Sto Domingo
Great song and a high-quality video!
It's truly scary how DATED anything '80s looks. (A 'Mad Men'-type 'period' series about the '80s should be made...)
Amazing,nice Aor song.
Thanks for sharing. I have this video myself, but always great to see other fans here! Everything Stan has touched is pure gold!
man, this takes me back, I think they played this every week on toronto rocks with john major.
Ahhhh, Much Music. I used to watch this on the Much too. Back in the day when video music shows actually played music videos!! Erika Em, Chris Ward, that hot Steve guy! lol.
Hey Trudy, what about the popular music TV show - "Video Hits" and my once a week favorite show "Good Rockin' Tonight"!
I LOVE IT..THANKS FOR POSTING IT!!!
Stan is a great guy - this is a great song. It says a lot if u listen to the lyrics.
he's kinda cute!! i remember this song, it does sound like a song that eddie money would sing and i think he did!
you are right he did sing it but i prefer stans version
Stan's version is the original (he wrote the song). I like both versions of the song as each has their own unique characteristics. I think there's a lot more production in Eddie's version.
i prefer stans it sounds much better
this shoud have million views
Fab Song!!!
Didn't know there was a video for "I want Everything". Will check my old video tapes (BETA - HA HA!!!) to see if anything happened to get on there from the old CBC "Video Hits" days.

It’s a Real solid cover

In this video Stan's playing the part of her acting coach. ;-)
I still have this LP.
