"Every Beat of the Heart" was the lead single from Native Place, the Railway Children's third album, and Virgin released it in February 1990.

Critics heard a band that had moved up a gear from their earlier records.
Britain took its time catching on. It stalled at number 68 on the UK Singles Chart the first time around, but by September it had gone to number one on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart in America, and when it was put out again in Britain in January 1991 it climbed to number 24 the next month and made the Irish top 30 as well.
