1) Only two weeks into… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one artist with this name:
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
Sister
Lemonade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She looked at us through a picture
Staring through the fragile glass
You sitting with her
I heard you used to be a diver
And you never broke the water
Passing through the water’s skin
All the people that are gonna meet
Don’t wanna give them anything
All the people that are gonna meet
I heard that you spent your summers
Sometimes only with each other
Floating in the pool all night
Light from below you
I think I’m someone who can listen
And never repeat any secrets
If you see them in the shape of my eyes
Let me know that you hear it
All the people that are gonna meet
Don’t wanna give them anything
All the people that are gonna meet
It’s her reflection on the water (sister)
The song Sister by Lemonade is a contemplative and emotional piece that centers around the desire to meet someone's sister. The opening lines reveal this desire as the singer states, "I think I’d like to meet your sister." The sister is presented as an ethereal, mysterious figure as she is "looked at through a picture" and seen "staring through the fragile glass." The singer seems transfixed by the sister and the connection between her and the person they are addressing.
The imagery of diving is used throughout the song as a metaphor for exploring deeper emotions and discovering hidden truths. The line "I heard you used to be a diver / And you never broke the water" suggests that the person they are addressing has a depth to them that goes beyond the surface level. The singer is intrigued by this and wants to learn more about them.
There is a sense of caution in the song, as the singer acknowledges that they are someone who can listen and keep secrets but also understands that they have a responsibility to protect the privacy of others. The line "If you see them in the shape of my eyes / Let me know that you hear it" implies that the singer wants to establish trust before sharing any secrets or personal information.
Overall, the song Sister is a beautiful and introspective piece that explores the complexities of relationships and the desire to connect with others in a meaningful way.
