Tonic 🎶 Head On Straight 🎶 Lemon Parade…
Hey yall… so I have two more great songs from Tonic for you…
“Head on Straight”
• Album: Head on Straight
• Year: 2o02
“Lemon Parade”
• Album: Lemon Parade
• Year: 1996
And here’s some cool facts about the band…
• The name “Tonic” comes from music theory — the tonic is the home note of a scale.. They chose it because they wanted their songs to feel grounded.. centered.. and real…
• “If You Could Only See” became one of the most-played rock songs of the late ’90s.. but the band actually thought deeper tracks like “Lemon Parade” better represented who they really were…
• Emerson Hart (lead singer) wrote many of their songs while dealing with personal struggles — addiction.. recovery.. and relationships — which is why their lyrics hit with that raw… honest edge….
• They turned down being over-polished… Labels wanted them slicker… but Tonic pushed to keep their sound emotional and imperfect — part of why they connect so well with listeners who love real feeling over radio gloss…
• They reunited after a long break because fans never stopped asking for them — and when they came back… they kept the same heart instead of chasing modern trends…
I hope you enjoy 😉 `.°~
