Michael Lane

Michael Lane had a song called "Fire In The Night" that got some attention in the 1980s. He was from somewhere near Nashville originally, and later spent time in Los Angeles. The music had some connection to new wave sounds, with mentions of Depeche Mode and The Cure as influences.

He released an album in 1986 also called "Fire in the Night," and another one in 1988 called "Lost in the Shadows." There was also a song called "Moment" that people remember. He played guitar and sang, with John Mark on bass and David Grey on drums.

Some of the writing about him mentions struggles with the music industry and his own introverted nature. The story tends to get dramatic toward the early 1990s, but the specifics feel like they've been stretched over time. What's left is mostly just the songs and a few basic facts.
