Lemon Parade- Tonic (1996) When I first heard If You Could Only See, I thought it was the ****. The song was raw, but then again I was eight years old. If You Could... is perhaps one of the only shining moments here, as is Open Up Your Eyes. The rest of the songs don't really have the oomph as the first two singles. There was a third single, Casual Affair, that was culled from this album, but it just doesn't have that same effect. Granted for post-grunge this is, I guess, pretty standard fare. I have yet to tackle their second effort; Sugar which was released three years later.
Memory associated with If You Could Only See: Picture St. Louis as it gets ready for an August severe thunderstorm outbreak. My mom got remarried on August 15th. We had a severe thunderstorm complex move through that morning (TL:DR about technical ****, so I won't post that here.) This song played on the car radio on the way to the courthouse.
