One - KANE is a Dutch rock band from The Hague, formed in 1998. The two original members were Dinand Woesthoff (lead singer) and Dennis van Leeuwen (guitarist, vocals). They added drummer Martijn Bosman in 2002 after the former drummer had left the band. Their music can be described as soft guitar rock. Nowadays, they are one of the best selling bands in The Netherlands and, after The Golden Earring, one of the most successful rock bands in Dutch music history.
Although formed back in 1998, it is now KANE take their dynamic blend of accessible rock to new fans across Europe.

Two - KANE was formed in 1998 by Christian Kane & Steve Carlson. Both are accomplished songwriters and guitarists whose passion to create and share their special breed of "outlaw country" soon became a Los Angeles phenomenon. Packing such hot spots as The Viper Room and The Mint, Christian and Steve became well known in the L.A. community for their strong original songwriting and awesome high-energy performances.
KANE has received airplay from #1 LA country music station KZLA, been voted the winner of the 2005 Country Thunder Young Guns Contest, been voted one of L.A.'s 100 Hottest Unsigned Bands by industry magazine Music Connection, and Rock City News and E Media Wire Service describe KANE in one word: "Killer." Despite somewhat limited touring, KANE’s self-released debut CD sold over 4,500 copies in the US, with almost half those copies selling in countries as far away as Malaysia, Germany, Australia and Brazil. Corporate shakeups led to KANE's second album, the Sony Sessions, being shelved.
Not content to stay an L.A. phenomenon, the two began taking regular trips to Nashville to polish their writing chops. Nashville exposed them to the thrill of collaborating with some of the best songwriters in the world. Longtime friend and Bigger Picture partner Michael Powers introduced them to Bob Ezrin, who immediately recognized KANE’s potential. Christian rounded up one of his favorite creative partners in Jimmie Lee Sloas and KANE soon found a new home recording in partnership with Bigger Picture Group.
Produced by the legendary Bob Ezrin and Jimmie Lee Sloas, KANE's new debut album, entitled “The House Rules,” drops this fall (2010) on the Outlaw Saints label, a partnership with Bigger Picture Group. On this album EMI songwriters Christian and Steve collaborate with friends Blair Daly, Brett James, David Lee Murphy, Casey Beathard, Jerrod Niemann and others.

They changed their name to Cortizone and released one album "Selling Out For The Sucker".

Kane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel the breeze
My top is down
And all I do
Is ride around
And where I go
I just don't care
To get away
I take it day by day
No work or play
Nowhere to stay
And I just need
To clear my mind
To find my role
In space and time
I'm just cruising
And I wonder if I ever find my way
I'm just cruising
Down this highway of life
And I'm looking for a place
Where I can hide away
Just cruising
Just cruising
Two months and now
I'm take it slow
I'm in my flow
So I can find
The fields of joy
Where life is peace
Where I can safely
Rest my soul
The sun is glowing
Winds keep blowing
I'm still growing and
I try to do the best i can
Go down this road
Is there a plan?
I'm just cruising
Just cruising
Just cruising
And I wonder if I ever find my way
I'm just cruising
Down this highway of life
And I'm looking for a place
Where I can hide away
I'm just cruising
Just cruising
Just cruising
And I wonder if I ever find my way
I'm just cruising
Down this highway of life
And I'm looking for a place
Where I can hide away
The song "Cruising" by Kane is about taking a break from the daily grind and finding a place to relax and clear one's mind. Throughout the lyrics, the singer shares the feeling of being carefree and just cruising without a particular destination or place to stay. He takes it day by day and wonders if he will ever find his way. He is on a highway of life, looking for a place to hide away where he can find the fields of joy and peace to rest his soul.
The singer talks about needing to clear his mind and find his role in space and time, which could indicate that he is going through a time of confusion or indecisiveness. He also mentions that he is still growing and trying to do the best he can, showing that he is willing to learn and evolve. The line "go down this road, is there a plan?" suggests that he is searching for direction and purpose, but he is content with taking things as they come for now.
