In the House of Stone and Light is the debut album by Martin Page, released in 1994. It features the title song, "In the House of Stone and Light", which was a substantial Billboard Hot 100 hit (peaking at number 14) and AC (number 1) hit.
An EPK has been made for the album. It features Martin Page himself, lyricist Bernie Taupin, musician Robbie Robertson, and other friends of Page. In the EPK they talk about his past with his band, Q-Feel, his collaborations with Taupin, and the album and Page himself.
As stated in the EPK, "Shape the Invisible" is Page's favorite on his debut album. As described by him in his video EPK: "My favorite song is 'Shape the Invisible', purely because of what the lyrics say. I was reading a book about Leonardo DaVinci and he mentioned that this shape the invisible in a sentence, and I thought what a great title. And at the time I wrote the song, there is as there always is trouble in the world, and I really wrote it as a wish song."
Also stated in the EPK by Page, about the song "I Was Made For You": "I did a song called 'I Was Made For You' and that song has a distinct kind of Gaelic feel to it."
For the song "Light In Your Heart", Page states: "There's a song called 'A Light In Your Heart' which I wrote with Bernie Taupin, and this song has been around for quite awhile [sic?]." Taupin then adds, "'Light In My Heart' is a very simple song, I mean it's a very direct emotional piece of work." Page comments, "I feel very strong that 'Light In Your Heart' is one of Bernie's best lyrics."
