Cyndi Lauper - The World Is Stone 

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 💜

This woman is forever amazing. The vocal prowess is superb!

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.

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. Cyndi, you are adored by many Americans who love vocal talents, and are adored worldwide! Cyndi won the Tony Award for being the first women to write a Musical Score by herself. What a LEGEND!

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

This song has so much meaning , it is phenomenal and a hidden gem like many masterpieces

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!!

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

She is beyond Madonna; lady Gaga and the others. She is Unique and glorious. All my life i had been her fan

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

Cyndi is forever... 🌹

Forever an iconic unique voice

Beautiful! Sadly, the world is like stone in these times.

Finally this video is officially on RU-vid 💓

Cyndi, thank you for this beautiful song. We must be the kindness we want to see in this world.

Cyndi is beautiful, but in this video she shines. XO

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.

Bonsoir Lauper Cyndi,très belle prestation ,magnifique ,je vous écoute depuis les année 80,je vous met un pouce en l'air ,j'aime.

This version is no less than fantastic. Miss Lauper sure knew how to perform and her voice is out of this world gorgeous.

Powerful and beautiful song Extraordinary artist…

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.

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. 🖤

This was a huge hit in France

You are great Cyndi... Xoxo from Argentina!!

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

Wow. I love you Queen Cyndi Lauper

Que música, que artista, que voz deslumbrante!!! simplesmente a melhor.......

OMG! I’d forgotten about this…what a tune!!

Miss Lauper, you still have a way of moving souls..... Bravo!! 👸💖

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.

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.

80's music Queen is back

Her voice is perfection.

Great memory from '92

Cyndi Love Joy! Wine woman!

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.

The real pop music. ❤

Una de las mejores cantantes y icono de los 80,s

😀cyndi lauper I like your songs🎙🎶🎵♩

This is so beautiful like her best true colors Nice unexpected return.

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.

Nossa que clipe maravilhoso ! Primeira vez que assisto esse clipe ! Você sempre me deixa emocionado Cyndi Lauper!

Cyndi é uma cantora que ama fazer música boa e não é muito preocupada em vendagem por isso ela sim é uma artista BRASIL

Cindy és tão bela!!!!! .....✍ Minha flor de liz 💐

My favorite song

You are the soul of the oppressed, and we love more and more every day.

One of the best Cyndi Lauper music ever!!!

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! ❤
