Biography

Born in Lynn Lake, Manitoba 1953, Tom Cochrane joined the Canadian rock band Red Rider in 1978, initially as their lead singer and songwriter. Red Rider was known for its blend of rock with thoughtful lyrics, achieving significant success in Canada with hits like "Lunatic Fringe" and "Boy Inside the Man." By 1986, the band was renamed Tom Cochrane & Red Rider, reflecting Cochrane's central role. They released several albums, including some notable hits, but never achieved the same level of success in the United States. The group disbanded in 1990, after which Cochrane embarked on his solo career. Solo Career Highlights: 1991 - "Life Is a Highway": Cochrane's solo career took off with this international hit from his album "Mad Mad World." This song became his signature tune, earning him widespread recognition beyond Canada and leading to diamond certification for the album in Canada (over a million copies sold). Awards and Recognitions: Cochrane has won eight Juno Awards, is a member of the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, and has received honors like the Order of Canada and the Order of Manitoba. He was also inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame in 2009. Humanitarian Work: Beyond music, Cochrane is known for his significant charitable efforts, including travels to Africa with World Vision, highlighting his commitment to social causes. Later Years: Cochrane has continued to tour and perform, often with former Red Rider members, maintaining a strong presence in the Canadian music scene. His song "Life Is a Highway" saw a resurgence when covered by Rascal Flatts for the soundtrack of the movie "Cars" in 2006.

LYRICS

Lunatic Fringe
I know you're out there
You're in hiding
And you hold your meetings
We can hear you coming
We know what you're after
We're wise to you this time
We won't let you kill the laughter

Lunatic Fringe
In the twilight's last gleaming
This is open season
But you won't get too far
We know you've got to blame someone
For your own confusion
But we're on guard this time
Against your final solution

We can hear you coming
(We can hear you coming)
No you're not going to win this time
We can hear the footsteps
(We can hear the footsteps)
Way out along the walkway
Lunatic Fringe
We know you're out there
But in these new dark ages
There will still be light

An eye for an eye
Well, before you go under
Can you feel the resistance
Can you feel the....thunder
