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.
RAINBOW
Aslyn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the puzzle fit perfect. with storybook affect. but i needed something to make it complete.
so i told my roomate. if i saw a rainbow. i would adore you.
then i opened the curtains praying for rain. and i pled every long night.
for a waterfall sky. 'cuz then I'd know for sure. my heart didn't lie.
i was growing to love you. convinced that it was glue. but did not wanna
jinx my affirmation clue. so i told my roomate. if i saw a rainbow. i would adore you.
and i opened the curtains praying for rain. forty days and nights.
i was crossing my cutdowns. for a thungermous breakdown. in hopes for the makeup.
and a colorful sky. so i told my roomate if i saw a rainbow. i would adore you.
then you closed the curtains before it rained. then the radio went wrong.
it sand me a sad song. with no falling starts to balance it out. and so that was the end.
to my last boyfriend. i learned where love went wrong. was when i wrote this song.
'cuz drip drop isn't in my hands.
The lyrics to Aslyn's song Rainbow are a complex and emotional exploration of the singer's feelings towards someone they have fallen in love with. The singer recounts the fateful day when this person came into their life and mesmerized them with their charm and optimism, bringing light to their dark nights. They describe how the pieces of their life seemed to fit together perfectly like a puzzle with a storybook ending, but something was missing to make it whole. They reveal that they turned to a superstitious belief in rainbows as a sign of true love, setting the condition that if they saw one, they would "adore" this person.
The singer becomes fixated on this idea of a rainbow, praying for rain and for "forty days and nights" to see a "waterfall sky" which would affirm their growing feelings for this person. They express their hesitation to fully commit to this person, fearing to "jinx" their feelings, and instead cling to the hope of seeing a rainbow. As time passes, their obsession with this idea becomes all-consuming, and they long for chaos and turmoil in order to experience the beauty they seek. However, in the end, their efforts are in vain, as the person they loved eventually went away and the singer is left reflecting on the fact that the reality of love is often beyond our control.
This song is a vibrant and stirring representation of the complexity of romantic relationships, and the vulnerability and hopelessness that often accompany them. Aslyn brilliantly uses the imagery of rainbows and storms to convey the singer's emotions, creating a powerful and moving piece of music.
