about

An ode to the cyclical nature of love and life. A reminder that in order to be free, we must at once let the past go while knowing it’s what has given us the resilience to march on.

lyrics

Still sat in a room aglow with your memory.
Oil lamps and candles ease the itch from my eye.
Sentimental furniture kept in every corner.
Caved in life’s clutter, I’m a hoarder
I’m a keeper, I’m a dreamer.

I hold a fragment of you in an old letter,
Up to the candle to burn away,
But the truth extinguished the flame in just one second,
Heard what I didn’t want to know in the smoky afterglow;
Your words whispering through shapes of your writing on the wall.

I hold a fragment of you in an old picture,
Up to the oil lamp to inspect it again.
When I couldn’t see your face so clearly,
I turn on the main light switch -
Wake up it’s 2019 and you need to get over it.
Wake up it’s 2019 and you need to get on with it.

Childhood friends
Teenage lovers
Adult strangers
Always neighbours
Always neighbours

And the harsh light is hurting my eyes,
As the truth is hurting my heart,
I escape out to the night time shadow,
Expecting street lamps to reveal your figure to me
And you could appear around any corner
As you often do
But no-one knows their neighbours in the city.
No-one knows their neighbours in the city.

Childhood friends
Teenage lovers
Adult strangers
Always neighbours
Always neighbours

about

Lemoncello Dublin, Ireland

Lemoncello charm audiences into an enigmatic world of intimate observations and uncomfortable questions with irresistible charisma, chemistry and humour. At once minimal and dramatic, their soundscape of cutting vocals, gritty cello and cyclical guitar is embedded in Irish roots and entwined in love of off-kilter pop, romantic & contemporary classical music and jazz extemporisation. ... more
