In 2005, she released her debut album titled Lemon Love. The name Lemon Love is due to the fact that every car she has owned turned out to break down, or in other words, turned out to be a "lemon"; she spent more on repairing them than they were actually worth. The album Lemon Love reached number #36 on the Top Heatseeker charts and it's single Be the Girl reached #26.
In January 2008, Aslyn released an EP entitled The Grand Garden EP. The EP features 28 songs, most of which were recorded between Lemon Love and Wherever the Dandelion Falls. It is divided up into 4 parts, each one having 7 different songs.
In January 2009, Aslyn's second full length album, The Dandelion Sessions was released under Lemonade Records. The 13 song collection includes some old fan favorites that have been played at live concerts for a couple of years now, such as "Your Best Thing", "The Way It Goes", and "Making Her Right". Another fan favorite recorded with Zac Brown, "Trying to Drive" was also included on the album. She is now managed by J.Romo Music Management.
Golden
Aslyn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But it wasn't really serious
'Cause we were much too young
Number two felt more true with each line
Number three, chemistry, but
Inevitably wrong for me
Number four, he was too old for me
And I never loved so hard
Never been such a fool for love
And I never want so bad
Just to do it all again
Find one who's golden
Never let go when it's love
Or you'll find yourself waiting alone
And you'll dream back the way that it was
And wonder which was love
Which was love
Number five, hello goodbye
He was sort of famous
So it was a story for a while
Number six, why should color matter
Number seven, should be revving
But he wanted to get deep too fast
Number eight, vulnerable me
And I never loved so hard
Never hurt so bad
Never been such a fool for love
And I never want so bad
Just to do it all again
Find one who's golden
Never let go when it's love
Which was love, and I never loved so hard
Never hurt so bad
Never been such a fool for love
And I never want so bad
Just to do it all again
Find one who's golden
Never let go when it's love
Or you'll just find yourself waiting alone
And you'll dream back the way that it was
And wonder which was
Love, which was love.

The verses are numbered and chronologically structured, with each one representing a different relationship that the artist had.
In the first verse, Aslyn talks about her first relationship, which was all fun and games, but not serious because they were too young. The second and third verses touch on other relationships that she had, both of which had their limitations and were ultimately not right for her. The fourth verse is about someone who was too old for her, while the fifth was with someone who was sort of famous, but it was only a temporary story. The sixth verse about why should color matter and seventh about how someone wanted to get deep too fast.
The chorus serves as a reminder to the listeners to never let go of love when you find it, especially if it is with someone who is “golden.” Aslyn warns that if we do let go of such love, we will find ourselves alone and dreaming back to the way it was, wondering which relationship was the one that we should have held onto.
Overall, “Golden” is a beautifully written song that many listeners can relate to. It captures the artist’s journey to finding the love she truly wanted and underlines the importance of not giving up when it comes your way.
