1. The most currently active "Lake" is based in Olympia, WA and Los Angeles. LAKE is a group of cloudy individuals brought together through lines drawn along Interstate-5, intersecting in Olympia around 2005. Since forming, they have gained and lost members, recorded 12 full length albums (only 3 of which have seen proper release), played across the world supporting such talented acts as Adrian Orange and Her Band, Half Handed Cloud, Laura Veirs, and Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy. The sounds they craft are straight from the playbook of the good parts of Billy Joel, Fleetwood Mac, and Turkish psychedelic music. Caressing the Rhodes piano, endearing drum fills, guitars that don’t sound like guitars, and some slamming bass lines: listening to LAKE is like pouring sugar in your ears. They’ll turn your brain into chocolate, 67% cacao. Lake began as a Fleetwood Mac cover band with the intention of touring casinos around the Northwest and Alaska. A freak invitation from Karl Blau to record “original” material led to a reformation of the band and a whole new game plan. The members of Lake are also involved in other musical projects such as: Kickball, Palisades, Live Active Cultures, Lindsey Schief, Ashley Eriksson, Swimming, Adam Oelsner, Your Heart Breaks, Cold Comfort Orchestra, Micah Davis-Wheeler, -a, and Eli Moore.
2. Lake, aka "Lakey The Kid", is a rapper from Queensbridge, New York. In 1999, Lake was released from prison after serving a seven year sentence. He had been writing rhymes while in prison and attempted to get into the hip-hop industry once he was released. Lake is famously known as a friend of fellow Queensbridge rapper Nas. He appeared on the song "Revolutionary Warfare" on Nas' album, God's Son. Since he appeared on Nas' album, Lake's relationship with Nas has folded.
The first album Lake released was Lake Entertainment Presents: The 41st Side, a compilation album featuring fellow Queensbridge rappers. The album was released under Lake's label, Lake Entertainment and sold over 100,000 copies with little promotion. Many compare the album to Nas' compilation album, QB Finest, which also featured Queensbridge rappers.
Lake is now signed to Death Row East, a subsidiary of Death Row Records. His album entitled "The Big Ride" is expected to be released in late 2008. On August 22, 2006, Lake released a collaborative album with Cormega entitled "My Brother's Keeper".
3. Lake was a German rock music band that formed in the early 1970s under the name Tornados, changing their name to Lake in 1973. They mostly covered material by other bands in their early years, but released three singles, Come Down/We're Gonna Rock, King Of The Rock'n Roll Party, and Sailor. In 1975 they were joined by lead singer James Hopkins-Harrison, who gave them their signature sound for the remainder of their recording career. They achieved modest success in much of Europe from the mid-1970s through the early 1980s, particularly in Germany where they were named artist of the year by the German Phono Academy in 1977. That same year, their self-titled debut album reached #92 in the US and the single Time Bomb reached #83, which would prove to be their greatest success in the US. They toured the US in the late 1970s as the opening act for various headline acts, including Lynyrd Skynyrd, Black Oak Arkansas, and Neil Young. By the early 1980s, their albums were no longer as successful as their earlier efforts and the group somewhat disbanded about 1981. Hopkins-Harrison and keyboardist Achin Opperman reformed the band in 1984 to record three more albums but failed to achieve renewed success. In 1992, lead singer James Hopkins-Harrison died of a heroin overdose.

No Wonder I
Lake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm walking by cherry blossoms in the sky
Feels exciting to be living
No wonder I feel so tired of talking
There's so much to take in today
I'm humming like washing machines through the window
And feeling glad that I saw you in your favorite jeans
No wonder I want to wrap you up and take you home
I'm looking forward to the chance to meet again
But then again it all depends
Suddenly I'm not so sure
That intentions can be pure
If I could just throw all my doubts into the wind
I think that they'd come back again
Every cloud has a silver lining
Every cloud has a silver lining
Every cloud has a silver lining
Every cloud has a silver lining
The lyrics of Lake's song "No Wonder I" depict a sense of wonder and appreciation for the beauty of life. The first line, "No wonder I feel a thousand petals," suggests a feeling of overwhelming joy and excitement, as if the singer is surrounded by an abundance of beauty. The reference to "cherry blossoms in the sky" reinforces this idea of natural beauty and wonder.
The second verse shifts to focus on the people in the singer's life, particularly a person wearing their "favorite jeans." The singer feels a sense of comfort and friendship when greeted with a simple "hello," which suggests that it's the small things in life that bring joy and not necessarily grand gestures.
However, the last verse takes a more cynical turn, with the singer expressing doubt about the purity of their intentions and the reliability of their feelings. Despite the beauty and wonder around them, the singer acknowledges the presence of doubt and uncertainty. The repetition of "Every cloud has a silver lining" at the end of the song can be interpreted as a message of hope, that even in the face of doubt and uncertainty, there is always something positive to be found.
Overall, the lyrics of "No Wonder I" encourage us to slow down, appreciate the beauty in our lives, and find hope even in uncertain times.
