Iceglass met her partner-in-music, William Maybelline, over the internet. Conversing through music recommender website LastFM, they initially sent each other ’80s YouTube videos, establishing their shared love of music. Eventually Iceglass took the trip to Maybelline’s home in Sunderland in North England and the rest, as they say, is history.
They offer an ice cold post-punk, fascinated by the beauty of art nouveau aesthetics, exploring British seashores and forests at night as well as inspired by the urbanism of Berlin.
no one holds hands
Lebanon Hanover Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Interesting Facts ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've never been any ones someone
It′s all coming true
You woke me from my slumber
You made me so much stronger
But now no one holds hands
No one holds hands anymore
I've never been any ones doll
It′s all coming true
Our porcelain hands will save us.
The Lebanon Hanover song "No One Holds Hands" speaks to the feeling of loneliness and disconnection that can come from a lack of physical touch and emotional intimacy. The lyrics suggest that the singer has never been anyone's "prince" or "doll," indicating a sense of disempowerment or detachment from others. However, someone has entered their life and "woke [them] from [their] slumber" and made them feel stronger. Despite this newfound strength, the ultimate message of the song is that "no one holds hands anymore." This phrase could be interpreted as a commentary on modern society's tendency towards emotional detachment and the way in which physical touch has become taboo or inappropriate in many contexts.
One interesting fact about "No One Holds Hands" is that it was released by Lebanon Hanover in 2012 as part of their album "Why Not Just Be Solo." The band is known for its darkwave and post-punk sound and has been active since 2010. Another interesting fact is that the song has been covered by several other artists, including Ash Code and Hante, suggesting its enduring popularity within the goth and coldwave scenes. Additionally, the band's name is derived from the fact that both members, William Maybelline and Larissa Iceglass, hail from countries with a historical conflict - England and Lebanon - and the music is seen as a way of processing these experiences.
