1) Who are they? Polis… Read Full Bio ↴There are various groups with the name Lemon.
1) Who are they? Polish band. Lemon is a brainchild of Igor Herbut. He founded the band right after he’d gotten to know that he had been accepted as the contestant of Must Be the Music talent show. He partook in the auditions with his cousin Adam after the night they spent at a wedding party as vocal performers. That’s what Igor has to say about this unusual experience: When we got to know we could take part in the main casting we were absolutely surprised and happy but also overwhelmed by what was to come. And that was when we thought about extending the line-up. I called the best violinist I knew, Andrzej Olejnik, and Piotr Budniak, drummer who knows how to play his instrument as if he was singing. And finally Piotr Kołacz whom I knew from a different project. That is how Lemon was born. And you know what? Lemon won the contest! Their debut album was released on November 27, 2012.
What do they say about themselves? Igor on new album: What’s to be found on the album may be considered a diary of our adventure that started during the ‘Must Be the Music’ auditions and is going to end on November 27, 2012. That’s the release date of the CD. Lots of things happened. And everything’s reflected in the songs. Some joy, a bit of doubt, a few stories I heard before, some irritation and persistent fight against the matter… Some songs were written over the course of one night, others had to evolve. But here they are waiting to open your hearts.
What about the new album? Well, yeah, if they partook in a TV talent show, one could easily pass a judgement on them: they have got to be a soulless bastard child of pop-culture. It’s not that simple. Pop (or pop-rock, if you will) bears a stigmata of less valuable music and semi-finished product aimed at the uncultured consumers for no reason. The fact is that good pop is as challenging as any other subgenre. And trashy pop is as useless as trashy hip-hop, grindcore or country. As simple as freakin’ that! But the question we need to answer here is: what’s Lemon closer to – bad or good. The latter, for sure. Having said that, I need to admit though that their debut album is not completely free of defects. The first – and probably last – of my complaints is that the album is somehow one-dimensional. What I mean is that most songs drift towards balladeer / crooner tradition. They are soothing and delicate, which is not a sin, but higher diversity of dynamics would do no harm, in my opinion… This fondness of sentimentalism can be heard even in the first part of All You Need Is Love cover. Fortunately, second part is much more exciting. But now we need to mention the bright sides, too. What’s most interesting on the album is that Lemon’s modern pop is tastefully mixed with the elements of East-European folk. Such amalgam almost compensates the listener for the deficiencies described above by making the music much more colorful. And last but not least, Igor Herbut is band’s treasure. His expressive and charismatic voice at the forefront of songs is Lemon’s most deadly weapon.
What are their lyrics about? Well, no surprises here: if a band chooses All You Need Is Love by The Beatles as a cover, then it’s no wonder they sing about feelings. But Lemon has different surprise: their album consists of fourteen songs sung in Polish, English, Ukrainian and in the language of Lemkos.
2) A Finnish rock band founded in 1969. Most of its members had played in The First before founding Lemon. They released their first album in 1970 and continued until the mid 1970s under the name Lemon. In 1975 they took back their old name The First.
3) Electronic musician in the UK, began making music under the name "lemon" (stylised in all lowercase) in 2022, released via BandCamp. First single, "chair-noises.mp3", was released on February 6th, 2022. First album, "noise", was released April 18th, 2022. First EP, "anomaly", was released on July 17th, 2022.

Lemon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Na krótką chwilę byłaś...
Spóźniony...
A może to tylko strach o te 9?
Dziewięć łez
Dziewięć istnień
Dziewięć słów
Dziewięć światów
Do Tebe tam
Zabyj tot czas, kryczu ja
Budżu sia sam
Ty znasz...
Ty znasz...
Do Tebe tam
Zabyj tot czas, kryczu ja
Budżu sia sam
Ty znasz...
Dewiat...
Ponoć widzieli nas tam gdzieś
Razem
Ciągłe zmagania z moim snem
Ty w nim
Spróbuj jak smakuje
Choć przez chwilę
Jakby milej...
Do Tebe tam
Zabyj tot czas, kryczu ja
Budżu sia sam
Ty znasz...
Ty znasz...
Do Tebe tam
Zabyj tot czas, kryczu ja
Budżu sia sam
Ty znasz...
Dewiat...
Do Tebe
Do Tebe ja
Do Tebe
Do Tebe ja
The lyrics to "Dewiat" describe a brief encounter with someone who the singer clearly had strong feelings for, but who was only in their life for a short amount of time. The opening lines "Przez chwilę byłaś... Na krótką chwilę byłaś..." convey this idea of fleeting love. The singer then questions whether their fear of losing this person was what ultimately caused them to leave, as they ask "A może to tylko strach o te 9?" The repetition of the number 9 throughout the song - "Dziewięć łez, dziewięć istnień, dziewięć słów, dziewięć światów" - adds to the sense of mystery and longing. The singer acknowledges that there are multiple worlds that separate them from this person, perhaps indicating that they come from different backgrounds or have different life paths.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Do Tebe tam" which can be translated to "To You there" in English. The singer is reaching out to this person who they can no longer be with and pleading with them to remember them. The repetition of "Ty znasz..." which means "You know..." adds to the desperation of the singer to be remembered by this person. They use the word "Dewiat" at the end of each chorus, which could be interpreted as a play on words - in Polish, "Dewiat" sounds similar to "deviate" which could suggest that their love for this person is not typical or expected.
Overall, the lyrics to "Dewiat" capture the feeling of a fleeting love that the singer cannot let go of. The repetition of the number 9 and use of the word "Dewiat" add to the song's mysterious and longing tone, and the chorus begs the person the singer cannot forget to remember them.

w 2 minutach i 50 sekundach tej piosenki jest wiecej muzyki, niż u nie jednego zespołu na całej płycie.

to jest jeden z naprawdę nielicznych zespołów, który na żywo brzmi znacznie lepiej niż w wersji studyjnej :)

Uważam, że Igor ma wyjątkowy talent, potrafi poruszyć te najgłębiej skrywane emocję.. ja osobiście wolę wracać do wersji z występu na żywo w MBTM, ponieważ tam można poczuć te emocję w tej wersji niestety nie bynajmniej nie w moim przypadku.. chociaż ta wersje również jest przyjemne dla ucha..
