According to the Taylor Dayne Songfacts Interview, Taylor grew up in Long Island, and her parents were very involved in independent theatre: the Manhattan Theatre Group, the Pap Theatre, La Mome. By 4 or 5 she was singing along with the radio. Her dad gave Taylor her first radio, she turned it on and there was Stevie Wonder playing. As Taylor grew older, she started going into a little bit more of a rock direction as the top 40 was going in a different path for a period of time - it was more of the supergroups, Jethro Tull, Yes etc. She had her first solo by first grade, and by her fourth grade she was singing Jacques Brel.
Dayne came to prominence in the late 1980s and remained at the top of the charts through the 1990s. She released her fifth album "Satisfied" in February 2008. "Beautiful" the first single hit number 1 in the American dance charts and #23 on the Adult Contemporary. The second single from "Satisfied" titled "My Heart Can't Change" reached #19 on the Adult Contemporary chart. In 2010, Dayne's single "Facing A Miracle" was released. In 2011, Dayne's single "Floor On Fire" became her 18th Top 10 hit when it peaked at #8 on the Hot Dance Club Songs chart. Dayne continues to record and tour.

Heart Of Stone
Taylor Dayne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's nowhere else to go
It's all so easy and I want you to know
There'll never be another one
Who could get this close to me
Everything you give to me
Is everything I've dreamed of
Even when you turn your back now
Even when you walk away
I still know where you're hiding
I can't believe
You've got a heart of stone
I've seen your tears fall when
You thought you were alone
I can't believe
You've got a heart of stone
I can't believe it
You try to make like I'm not there
To show me how you feel
You don't have to hurt me
With the hurt that you won't reveal
There'll never be another one
Who could get this close to you
I can give you everything
That you've ever dreamed of
Even when you turn your back now
I can feel you reaching for me
Even when you walk away
I still know where you're hiding
I can't believe
You've got a heart of stone
I've seen your tears fall when
You thought you were alone
I can't believe
You've got a heart of stone
I can't believe it
I can't believe
You've got a heart of stone
The more you try to hide your love
The more it shows
I can't believe
You've got a heart of stone
I can't believe it
Feel the loving' in me
I need it
I can't believe
You've got a heart of stone
The more you try to hide your love
The more it shows
I can't believe
You've got a heart of stone
I can't believe it
I can't believe
You've got a heart of stone
Your eyes says yes
Even when you tell me no no
I can't believe
You've got a heart of stone
I can't believe it
In Taylor Dayne's song "Heart of Stone," the singer voices her frustration with her lover, who she believes has a "heart of stone". She wishes to be close to him and share intimate moments, but he pushes her away and fails to share his feelings with her. Despite this, she knows deep down that he wants her and cannot resist her, even if he tries to hide it.
The lyrics in the song are fairly straightforward, with the singer pleading with her lover to open up to her and allow her to love him. She recognizes that he has difficulty letting his guard down but also understands that he has feelings for her that he may try to hide. The chorus emphasizes the main message of the song, with the singer expressing her disbelief that her lover has a heart of stone despite his clear emotional responses to her.
