Raised in a dysfunctional, blue-collar family, Candye became a teenage mother, a pin-up cover girl and a punk rock, hillbilly, and blues-belting anarchist by the time she was just 21 years old. Eight albums, six record labels, millions of international road miles and countless awards later, Miss Kane has proven to be a true survivor as she scrambled her way to the top of the roots music heap, creating a world renowned reputation that has spanned two decades.
A colorful mixture of the traditional and the eclectic, Kane cut her musical teeth in the early 80’s onstage with Hollywood musicians and friends, Social Distortion, Dwight Yoakum, Dave Alvin, The Blasters, X, Fear and Los Lobos, to name just a few. While raising two sons, this role model for the disenfranchised, championed large sized women, fought for the equal rights of sex workers and the GLBT community and inspired music lovers everywhere. Her fans are a mixture of true outsiders: bikers, blues fans, punk
rockers, drag queens, fat girls, queers, burlesque dancers, porn fans, sex workers, rockabilly and swing dancers, grey haired hippies, sex positive feminists and everyday folk of all ages, flock to see Candye and hear her musical messages of love, hope and empowerment.
Kanes’ live shows are the stuff of legend. She honors the bold blues women of the past with both feet firmly planted in the present. She belts - growls - shouts - croons and moans from a lifetime of suffering and overcoming obstacles. She uses music as therapy and often writes and chooses material with positive affirmations that leave the audience feeling healed and exhilarated. A show that is part humor, revival meeting and sexuality celebration, she'll deliver a barrelhouse-tongue-in-cheek blues tune or a gospel ballad like Jesus and Mohammed, encouraging audiences to leave behind religious intolerance.
She’ll slay the crowd with her balls-out rendition of Whole Lotta Love or glorify the virtues of zaftig women with 200 pounds of fun. She often says she is a "fat black drag queen trapped in a white woman's body" and she dresses the part. Bedecked in bright colored feathers, sequins and rhinestones, Kane's performance is Mississippi by way of Las Vegas, with a quick stopover in San Francisco.
Kane’s ninth release, Superhero, will hit the streets June 17th on the premiere West Coast blues label, Delta Groove. The album was produced by Kane and 26 year old guitar Virtuoso, Laura Chavez, who also plays in her live band. It features guest performances by Kid Ramos, Dave Gonzales, and Mitch Kashmar, along with Kanes’ rhythm section featuring eldest son, Evan Caleb on drums, and bass veteran, Paul Loranger. This newest effort is chock full of the songs of triumph and empowerment that have made Kane a favorite with enlightened congregations everywhere.
Candye has been included in countless Blues and Jazz Anthologies including the Rolling Stone and Musichounds Guide to Jazz and Blues and Dan Akroyds’ 30 Essential Women of the Blues. In addition to her music successes, she is an activist and philanthropist. In August 2008, she appeared in Cape Town, South Africa for the World Congress for people with disabilities with her United by Music show for special needs kids (www.unitedbymusic.eu). This project provides performance opportunities, blues history lessons and songwriting instruction to young people with disabilities, encouraging them
to write their own blues songs to help them overcome their daily challenges.
Candye is a fighter par excellence and her authenticity, determination and optimism are what keep her shows passionate, honest and irresistible. One evening with Candye will keep the crowds happy, hopeful and coming back for more!
I Love To Love You
Candye Kane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One more day, it's you I'm thinking of.
The moon is full and the stars are bright,
but without your love, I can't sleep at night,
and it's one more day without your love.
One more night, without your kiss
One more night I can't go on like this.
I hang my lonely head and cry,
and it's one more night without your kiss.
I count the minutes and the hours
till you're here again.
Time is moving slower now
how long has it been?
One more Day, without your love,
One more Day it's you I'm thinking of
every couple that I see,
I only wish it was you and me,
and it's one more day without your love.
I know my heart is breaking
how long can this go on?
I pray that with that morning sun,
you'll be back here in my arms.
One More Day, without your love
One more Day it's you I'm thinking of.
The moon is full and the stars are bright
but without your love, I can't sleep at night
and it's one more day without your love.
The lyrics of "One More Day Without Your Love" by Candye Kane have a powerful message about longing and heartbreak. The song's lyrics are very straightforward in expressing the song's meaning - she's simply counting down the hours and minutes, hoping that her lover will return. The song's overall mood is one of longing, frustration, and hope for reunion or reconciliation.
The opening lines of the song, "One more day without your love, one more day, it's you I'm thinking of" tells us the singer is desperately missing her lover. She looks up at the full moon and bright starry sky that may seem romantic to others, but to her, it only creates a feeling of loneliness. The singer feels like she can't continue living without her love's presence - "but without your love, I can't sleep at night." She is stuck in this cycle of missing someone to the point where she can't move on and tries to hold onto hopes of reconciliation.
The last lines of the song are very poignant, with the singer hoping for a more positive future - "I pray that with that morning sun, you'll be back here in my arms." The song is ultimately about the pain of losing someone you love and holding onto the hope that they will one day come back to you.
