"Ten Storey Love Song" is a song by English rock band the Stone Roses, released as the second single from their album, Second Coming (1994), on 27 February 1995. It was written by guitarist John Squire. The song reached number 11 on the UK Singles Chart and spent three weeks on the chart.

Music video

A music video, directed by Sophie Muller, accompanied the single but the video was shot without the drummer, Reni, who did not turn up. An unidentified man wearing a mask of his face appears several times. Ian Brown did not turn up for the first day of the video shoot, reflected in the video when John Squire and Mani are watching footage of Ian Brown and Reni on a TV screen and look at their watches.
