1. Khan was an English … Read Full Bio ↴There are at least 8 artists with this name:
1. Khan was an English progressive rock band of the Canterbury Scene during 1971-1972. Formed by Steve Hillage, the initial line-up was Steve Hillage (guitar), Nick Greenwood (bass guitar), Dick Henningham (organ) and Pip Pyle (percussion). They recorded only a single album "Space Shanty" which was released in 1972 with Steve Hillage, Nick Greenwood, Eric Peachey (drums) and Dave Stewart (Organ, skyceleste,marimbas). They disbanded in 1974. Steve Hillage went on to record "Fish Rising" which contains material that would have been done by Khan had they not broken up.
2. Khan: Who Never Rests. This alone kinda says it all.
If you’re not familiar with Khan, all I can say is he really never rests. Born Can Oral, raised in Frankfurt to Turkish-Finnish parents, Khan is an extremely prolific producer to put it mildly. Describing him as a restless vagabond is not really quite enough. He’s a world resident (currently based in Berlin, after previously residing in New York, Mexico, Cologne and Finland) who has produced electronic music under at least 10 pseudonyms and collaborations (including Bizz OD, 4E, El Turco Loco, Captain Comatose, Kid and Khan). So for his first album for Tomlab, Who Never Rests only begins to explain the persona of Khan, yet at the same time, presents a very complete picture of the musician and man today.
Who Never Rests is a celebration of a man who is in full control of his sound and vision. With his previous albums on Matador, the journey was just starting. “1-900 GET-KHAN” was the first chapter of the story. Khan launched the persona of a male hustler, selling himself to the audience by performing in a pair of underpants with “KHAN” stitched on the ass. It certainly got the party started! Then with “No Comprendo”, Khan produced a living-homage to the artists that inspired him, collaborating with Diamanda Galas, Andre Williams, Kid Congo Powers, Brigitte Fontaine, Julee Cruise, and Stereo Total’s Francoise Cactus. It’s a true work of sheer class and innovation. Might sound cheesy, but if you listen to it, you’ll get the drift. But then Khan started focusing on collaborations. He toured and produced with Kid Congo Powers (The Gun Club, Bad Seeds, The Cramps) and released “Bad English” (Transsolar). He recorded as Little Annie and The Legally Jammin (with Christian Jendreiko). And he recorded and toured as Captain Comatose (“Going Out” and “Up in Flames”) on Playhouse as the last standing disco band: one giant disco party!
3. Matija Gečević "Khan" is an up and coming Croatian rap artist. Together with the group DBP (Dying Breed Proudctions) which he is a co-founder & member off he has made a major impact on the Croatian underground demo scene.

Stranded
Khan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Miles and miles we did flee
Through the endless forest
To the edge of the sea
It was as though the world was ours
Lying on a deserted beach
Out of reach
Out of their reach
I could see you much clearer
As we strode by the shore
All the peace all around us
Seemed impossibly pure
And then the sun shone through the clouds
Touched us with its magnificent beam
Made us clean
Made us feel so clean
On our island of safety
From the alien crowd
Of the city of madness
Could we really be sure
That the peace would still remain
Sealed away from insanity
We shall see
We shall see
Khan's song Stranded is a beautiful representation of the desire to escape from the chaos of the city and seek refuge in nature's solace. The song opens with the singer and their companion running away from the city, finding peace in the endless forest, and finally reaching the edge of the sea. The world seems to belong to them, and they are lying on a deserted beach, away from the chaotic city.
As the singer and their companion stroll by the shore, they find their inner peace reinforced by the surrounding beauty. The peace seems to be too pure while the sun shines through the clouds, making them feel clean.
The singers are trapped in a dilemma if their peace could last long away from the mad city. They ask if they have truly escaped the alien crowd of the city of madness, and if indeed the peace will remain sealed away from the chaos.
In conclusion, the song describes the journey of two people who tried to escape the madness in the city and found peace and a sanctuary in nature's embrace. However, the song ends on a note of uncertainty about the future, leaving the audience to contemplate if peace could coexist with the modern world.

Beautiful song. Early masterpiece by Steve. Do you know that you´ve missed the chance to provide a soft ending for your upload? Instead you have chosen the simple way, a hard ending. Why no fading out?
