Official TONIC Biography (Courtesy of Tonic-Online) In following up their platinum smash, Lemon Parade, Tonic's Emerson Hart, Jeff Russo, and Dan Lavery wanted more than anything to keep their new material simple. "We tried really hard not to overreach on the new stuff," says Hart. "We realized that we're a guitar band, plain and simple. That's how we started and we wanted to stay true to that." Sugar, the LA-based trio's second studio album in three years, isn't so much simple as simply stunning. The record finds the band exploring a spectrum of colorful guitar-rock, ultimately staying faithful to the band's electrifying melodies and classic roots. Mixed by Andy Wallace and produced by Tonic themselves, Sugar presents the same Tonic sound that impressed a More... (Submit New Tonic Lyrics) (Submit New Tonic Lyrics) Review about Tonic If You Could Only See | Reviewer: Matt ------ About the song IF YOU COULD ONLY SEE performed by Tonic Actually this song is about when the lead singer was about to be married and his mother disapproved because she believed it wasn't true love. So he's actually explaining to his mother why he loves her, and why he feels the way he feels about her. Though they got divorced soon after, so I guess the mother was right haha. You can interpret this song anyway you want to, that's what music is about. If You Could Only See inter[retation | Reviewer: Derrick ------ About the song IF YOU COULD ONLY SEE performed by Tonic I think i know wat its about...its about a guy who is with a girl who treats him like shit but he dont wanna let her go...i think these lyrics in particular say in perfectly.. "And you got to take a little dirt To keep what you love That's what you gotta do" Sayin' you love but you don't You give your love but you won't You're stretching out your arms to something that's just not there Interpret the lyrics any way you like | Reviewer: tracie ------ About the song IF YOU COULD ONLY SEE performed by Tonic I agree with emma's response. she has spoken to the singer about the lyrics so therefore she knows from the singer what the song is really about. Egon 1's response kind of makes me go "What? That doesn't even make sense". Their interpretion is kind of far out there. But we all have our own interpretions of the lyrics to the song- right or wrong with what the singer wrote it about. I never really thought that much of the interpretion or situation with the story of the lyrics. But for everyone, feel free to interpret it any way you like. The singer told me... | Reviewer: emma ------ About the song IF YOU COULD ONLY SEE performed by Tonic OK, guys...having met and spoke to Emerson many years back...the song was written to his mother about the woman he wanted to marry. His mum didn't approve...even refused to come to the wedding. Turned out she was right and they divorced shortly after. Open up your eyes | Reviewer: JT ------ About the song OPEN UP YOUR EYES performed by Tonic I love this song! Especially the guitar. I'm tring to breakdown the songs lyrics and find the true meaning. Just wondering if other people have different, or the same ideas, and what they might think. Wonderful | Reviewer: Jenn ------ About the song LEMON PARADE performed by Tonic My best friend died in a car accident in 1997 and this was one of her favorite songs and bands. I played the disc after her death and one night shortly after she passed, the song itself played over and over. I took it as a sign that she was still with me. It´s quite clear... | Reviewer: Egon_1 ------ About the song IF YOU COULD ONLY SEE performed by Tonic This song is about a man that speaks to his girlfriends EX that just can´t let her go! Her Ex is his ex-best friend... Thats why he tries to explain to him that it´s real between them and that she loves him and NOT her ex. Actually.. The Ex was unfaithful and has changed his mind and want her back but she´s not interested. She´s happy with her new love and her Ex can´t accept that.. Sad story... But love will prevail and to be unfaithful is the worst case of betrayal. -*I REALLY DO LOVE HER MORE THAN THE AIR I BREATHE, SHE ROCKS MY WORLD*- Great song. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Irish performed by Tonic It's kind of tragic if you think about it, but at the same time you can't help but smile when you hear it. The anger, the defiance. All in all, a very nice song. A complicated relationship | Reviewer: Steve ------ About the song IF YOU COULD ONLY SEE performed by Tonic I agree with Renee's post; I think it's fairly certain that this song is about a man in a relationship that's not going well. When he says "you", he's probably talking to his current girlfriend who "lies" and "manipulates" him to "cut him down to size". She also only gives her love to him "when she can". While when he refers to "she", he's speaking of someone else who does not just say that she loves him, but genuinely means it. (Or at least he thinks so.) The "what I must do" is probably just breaking up with her. Of course I may be wrong, but I believe that it's not a far-cry from what Tonic was going for. I see this song differently... | Reviewer: Renee ------ About the song IF YOU COULD ONLY SEE performed by Tonic I heard this song a million times but for some reason Ive just recently listened to the words and now love it even more...a little confused, their could be different senarios, but mine is leaning more toward...this guy has a girlfriend who is cold and realy doesnt love him the way he wants to be loved...He is actually singing the song to the girlfriend, however, there is another girl in the picture that really shows him real love...he is trying to explain to his girlfriend how this other girl really loves him and if she could see them together and how this other girl looks at him, then the girlfriend would understand how 2 people in love should be...seems im the only one with this view. Love the song! Cant get it out of my head! Disapproval | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song IF YOU COULD ONLY SEE performed by Tonic I never really felt the lyrics of this song (even though I loved it) until I was in a realtionship where his mother did not approve of me for very unfair racial reasons. Suddenly the song seemed to make perfect sense with everything, and it is an explination of love to someone who clearly doesnt understand what love is and disapproves of the relationssip confused | Reviewer: nicole ------ About the song IF YOU COULD ONLY SEE performed by Tonic a guy told me to listen to this song, its a game we play to tell eachother how we feel but to me it seems like hes telling me I manipulate him, tell him I love him, but I dont I hold back,and Im reaching out my arms for something thats not there, does that mean he doesnt love me back? .. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song IF YOU COULD ONLY SEE performed by Tonic It seems to me he is talking to his buddies who give him crap about being "whipped" by his girl but he doesnt care because he knows his girlfriend loves him and he would rather have her and deal with their crap then to not be with her. From your focus point | Reviewer: steve ------ About the song IF YOU COULD ONLY SEE performed by Tonic I interpret this song as if a guy was talking to his buddy. The friend allows joking about how he is tied down and can leave, Maybe whipped. But the man knows betters, he is in love and maybe its not true, but he knows his friend is a capible of giving true love. I believe poeple interpret songs to fit their life and tribulations. its interesting to read the comments.. FYI, I am the friend.. If you could only see how black your eyes are dude. Got spine? | Reviewer: Bronx Boy in Virgina Beach ------ About the song IF YOU COULD ONLY SEE performed by Tonic It surely has the sound of true love. My interpretation of the lyrics says the love is sadly only one-way. He's justifying his love to those who doubt her. Because everyone can see she treats him like crap. Definitely find the Acapella version of this tune by Off The Beat. If you love this tune, I promise you'll love this other version. A perfect second helping of dessert. Good song | Reviewer: Arb ------ About the song IF YOU COULD ONLY SEE performed by Tonic I think it has more to do with a second lover. Similar to "Witchy Woman" or "On the Other Hand". He loves his girl and he is telling his seductress he has to say goodbye because his girls love is apparent and deep where the seductress only offers him sex and nothing more. Just my two cents. Tonic - If You Could Only See | Reviewer: HANNAH!!! ------ About the song IF YOU COULD ONLY SEE performed by Tonic i think its about a guy loving a girl and their love is not accepted in society (perhaps a large age gap) maybe the girl is only a teenager and he is in his 20's it seems like love has no limits according to him, and hes trying to explain how much they truly love each other!? I agree with Trish | Reviewer: Tek ------ About the song IF YOU COULD ONLY SEE performed by Tonic there have been points in my life where youre friends or anyone doesnt like the person youre dating. it even rubs off on you a little. she's sad when she says she loves him because she knows of all the other bullshit surrounding him. yes, it seems like part of the song is meant to be sung to her, while other parts are meant to be sung to the singer himself. good stuff Brilliant! | Reviewer: Misty Expressions ------ About artist/band Tonic I love Tonic and now that Emerson Hart is striking out on his own, I couldn't be more pleased. I think he is a brilliant artist and musician. I hope he goes far. The world is lucky to have someone like him in it to enrich it. im in love with this song. | Reviewer: Trish ------ About the song IF YOU COULD ONLY SEE performed by Tonic i cant explain how much i lo9ve this song, when i listen to it brings tears to my eyes. i think the songs about a guy explaining that he loves his g/f, because ppl dont understand why his with her or w/e, and his singing about how he see the love in her eyes dispite watever any1 else has to say. but reading other ppls reviews they seem 2 differ.
