1. Kayak is a legendary Dutch progressive rock band, mostly known during the 1970’s. Formed from the ashes of the group High Tide Formation (who released only one single before disbanding), the early sound was typified by the contrasting songwriting styles of keyboardist Ton Scherpenzeel and drummer Pim Koopman, as well as the distinctive vocals of Max Werner.
The band saw an increasing streamlining of their songwriting, as well as greater commercial fortunes, over the years, hitting their peak of popularity with the smash success of their single “Ruthless queen”, a sizable European hit from their 1979 album, Phantom Of The Night.
Kayak disbanded in 1981, after their semi-conceptual Merlin and subsequent live album Eyewitness. Ton Scherpenzeel subsequently joined progressive rock legends Camel and contributed to their 1984 album Stationary Traveller, as well as to 1999's Rajaz.
Kayak reunited in 2000, releasing one of their best albums yet: Close to the Fire, with a guest appearance of Andrew Latimer of Camel. Being active ever since, Kayak released two further conceptual opuses: Merlin: Bard of the Unseen (an elaboration of their 1981 album) and Nostradamus: The Fate of Man.
In 2007 the band released the live CD KAYAKoustic, to return in 2008 with a new studio album called Coming Up For Air. The coinciding tour celebrated their 35th Anniversary.
Current line up: Ton Scherpenzeel (keyboards) Pim Koopman (drums) Edward Reekers (voc) Cindy Oudshoorn (voc) Joost Vergoossen (guitr) Rob Vunderink (voc, guitr) and Jan van Olffen (bass).
On 23 November 2009, drummer Pim Koopman unexpectedly died of sudden heart faillure...all concerts were cancelled for the remainder of 2009 and for 2010

Kayak Lyrics

About this all consuming passion
Throughout the years there's hardly been
A single day
I didn't dream of having you around
You know we've danced this dance before
And tried to keep the fire burning
Our ways to part
You still control my heart
You were never lost
Just waiting to be found

There's no denying how I feel
I cannot deny the intensity of my feelings
About this all consuming passion
This desire is consuming and all-encompassing
Throughout the years there's hardly been
Over the years, there have been very few instances
A single day
Not even one day went by
I didn't dream of having you around
Wherein, you were not in my dreams or thoughts
You know we've danced this dance before
We have been in this situation earlier
And tried to keep the fire burning
Attempted to maintain the same level of passion
Whatever reasons may have caused
No matter what caused it
Our ways to part
Our path to diverge
You still control my heart
You still have my heart in your control
You were never lost
You were never truly gone
Just waiting to be found
Just waiting to be rediscovered
