In 1984, they released their self-titled debut album, which led to four top-ten hits in Canada: "New Girl Now", "Burning In Love", "Wave Babies", and "Stay In the Light". The song "New Girl Now" was the only single to reach the top-50 in the United States.
Their follow up album, The Big Prize, produced by Bruce Fairbairn, was equally successful in Canada, with four more hits: "Feel It Again", "What Does It Take", "Bad Attitude", and "All Along You Knew". Their song "Feel It Again" managed to reach the Top 40 in the US, "What Does It Take" reached no. 52, buoyed by its inclusion on the soundtrack for the John Cusack film One Crazy Summer. Much later in 1989, "Bad Attitude" was featured in the series finale of Miami Vice, played during a driving segment that mirrored one from the series' pilot episode.
In 1986, founding keyboardist Ray Coburn temporarily left the band, replaced by Rob Preuss of Burlington, Ontario-based Spoons. Also during 1986 the band produced a track for the Charlie Sheen film The Wraith - "Those Were the Days".
In 1988, their third album was released: Racing After Midnight, produced by Ted Templeman of Van Halen fame. That album made the top 10 in Canada. Singles included "Love Changes Everything", "Looking Out for Number One", "Cold Look" and "It's Over Now".
In 1989, Coburn rejoined the band just in time to release a greatest hits compilation, The Singles, which included the new single "Still Loving You". "The Singles" tour would turn out to be the last tour featuring the band's original line-up.
The band continued to tour in the '90s, although many line-up changes continued to occur, with only Dee and Grehan remaining as the founding members.
In 2002 they released their first new studio album in 11 years, Lemon Tongue. The album was released under an independent label. Later in 2002 they released Dreamland which was only available in Europe. It features many of the same songs from Lemon Tongue but included some new songs such as "Dreamland", "Radiant", "Even Now" and "Just Love Somebody".
In 2006 the band continues to tour in Canada, including a co-headlining tour with Glass Tiger. Their latest release is a collection entitled Feel It Again: An Anthology, a 2-CD set featuring the best of their work plus rare and unreleased material.
In June 2007, the band officially announced the return of a reunited classic line-up of Johnnie Dee, Derry Grehan, Ray Coburn, Gary Lalonde, and Dave Betts. The band toured extensively throughout Canada in 2007 and 2008 and then entered the studio to record a new album. The high point of the reunion was the new CD Clifton Hill, produced by Tom Treumuth (who produced the self-titled Honeymoon Suite debut album in 1984), and named after the famous landmark in the centre of the tourist activity in Niagara Falls. The album was released in Canada in late September 2008 on Koch Records and subsequently by Italian melodic rock label Frontiers Records on October 10, 2008. The new album is described by guitarist Derry Grehan as "somewhat of a return musically to the sound that we had in the '80s."
In 2009, the band continued to tour Canada and select Northeastern United States cities. However, on September 1, 2009, it was announced that the band had again parted ways with original keyboardist Ray Coburn. Peter Nunn returned to the band's line-up to replace him for the second time. The band made an appearance at Firefest 6 Nottingham, England in October, 2009.
On 18 November 2016, Honeymoon Suite released a 9 track EP, the first new music in 8 years, titled Hands Up on PledgeMusic website.
In February 2017, it was announced that Honeymoon Suite would appear at Rockingham Festival 2017, this to be held at Nottingham Trent University, UK, between 20 and 22 October 2017, the band scheduled to appear on Friday 20th.In the months approaching Rockingham 2017, the band cancelled their show to pursue a different opportunity.

Burning in Love
Honeymoon Suite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That made ya turn to stone overnight
I thought I played it right
Lovin' you deep in the night
The chain of love is broken now
Why can't we start again
'Cause my heart won't mend
But you say no, then you go, and I break down
I'm still a lonely man burning in love
I'm still a lonely man burning in love
What did he say to you
What did he promise you
That made you change from white to black
I don't understand it
It seems so underhanded
I want to hate you but I'm still in love
Why can't we start again,
'Cause my heart won't mend
But you say no, then you go
And I break down
I'm still a lonely man burning in love
I'm still a lonely man burning in love
Why can't we start again
'Cause my heart won't mend
But you say no, then you go
And I break down
I'm still a lonely man burning in love
I'm still a lonely man burning in love
I'm still a lonely man burning in love
I'm still a lonely man burning in love
Burning in love
Burning, burning in love
Burning in love
Burning in love
In "Burning in Love," Honeymoon Suite sings about the pain and heartbreak of a failed relationship. The lyrics describe the confusion and hurt felt by the singer as he tries to understand what went wrong with his love. He questions what he did wrong and what his partner saw in another person that caused her to turn away from him so quickly. He thought he had done everything right, but she still left, and he is left brokenhearted and confused.
The singer's emotions are clear as he pleads with his partner to try again, his heart unable to let go of the love he feels. However, in the end, he realizes that she is truly gone, and he is left alone and burning in love. This song expresses the pain and despair of unrequited love and the feeling of being unable to let go of someone who has left.

Honeymoon Suite deserved far more success than received. This is an absolutely classic rock track from the 80's. It still sounds so good today.
