1) Only two weeks into their existence, San Francisco-based psych-electronic trio Lemonade coalesced remarkably fast and performed their first show in 2005. The group- comprised of childhood friends Callan Clendenin (vocals), Alex Pasternak (percussion) and Ben Steidel on bass-did not have grand expectations for the project outside of exploring their shared vision of a place that they have never been: a fantasy landscape that is at once gritty and pristine, tropical and foreboding.
Inspired initially by their interest in drone music, dancehall, and Pasternak's training in Arab and Latin music, they allowed spontaneity, improvisation and intuition to be their fulcrum, allowing them to experience the energy of music-making without having to adapt to the expectations of a rock band. They have since incorporated influences from the spectrum of electronic music, taking cues from the burgeoning UK grime and dubstep scenes, as well as acid house, minimal techno, and the early 'ardkore anthems of Suburban Bass and XL Recordings. While rooted in DIY/hardcore pathos, Lemonade has come to embrace elements of rave culture historically unpopular in the punk community.
2) Lemonade started in 1997 releasing demoscene music. In 2001 he released chip music disk that had tracks made during years 1998-2000. Nowadays he's still active in demoscene.
3) Visual-kei band formed in 1995. The band released their first album "Yume Shichiya (夢七夜) Welcome to My Nightmare in 1996. They disbanded in 1998.
4) Lemonade is a punk band from Minneapolis, Minnesota. https://lemonademn.bandcamp.com/releases
Ice Water
Lemonade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can’t just cool my head on anything
I can’t seem to escape
All these visions of me falling
But there’s light on the other side
Feels like a million wide
I’m out sometimes and I know you’ll find me
But you know how to cool my head
Like ice-water inside of me
I feel the pressures in my mind
They get so heavy
It makes me blind
Sometimes I forget
You just have to remind me
In real life
Some memories can paralyze me
I need to feel your hands on me
All these thoughts that make me crazy
I need to feel your hands to breath
Put your cool hands on me

Put your cool hands on my face
I need your calming touch to soothe my troubled thoughts
I can’t just cool my head on anything
I can't find peace just by thinking logically
I can’t seem to escape
All these visions of me falling
I can't shake off the fear of failure that's constantly haunting me
But there’s light on the other side
Feels like a million wide
I have hope that everything will work out in the end
I’m out sometimes and I know you’ll find me
Asking questions ‘til I go crazy
I tend to overthink and worry, but I know you'll be there to help me
But you know how to cool my head
Like ice-water inside of me
You have a calming effect on me, like a refreshing drink of ice water on a hot day
I feel the pressures in my mind
They get so heavy
It makes me blind
Sometimes I forget
You just have to remind me
In real life
My anxiety and stress can be overwhelming, and I lose sight of what's important. You're there to bring me back to reality
Some memories can paralyze me
I need to feel your hands on me
All these thoughts that make me crazy
I need to feel your hands to breathe
Some past experiences still haunt me, and your touch brings me back to the present and helps me breathe again
