“Saturday Night” by The Lemon Club is the second single from the album The Times We Live In, and it picks up on the ambivalent feelings that a Saturday evening can sometimes stir up.

The song "Me, Myself, AI" by The Lemon Club explores how AI can affect one's love life. Not merely as a tool, but as a partner, placed on an equal footing with a human being.

A song about a race that cannot be won as every attempt to accelerate is simultaneously an act of self-destruction. In "two people (racing cars)," you're not driving toward a finish line; you're driving away from each other, trapped in an invisible orbit. A relationship as a structure of provisional supports stands at the center of this song. A relationship whose collapse was never sudden, but had been in the room from the very beginning. Barely convincing lies, too fragile t

On the fractured subjectivity of a pop-poetic voice in "Dark Hours" by The Lemon Club. "during sex he told me i'm a good girl / so i asked him what he defines as good and bad" — When a song opens with a line like that, all kinds of possibilities open up as to where the content might go. I could offer a treasure hunt here and let readers decide where the lyrics lead. But I won't, because the song already exists. And so does its text, and the idea behind it. Musically, "Dark Ho
