Ramblerman Shares Emotional New Single ‘Lemonade’ for Beyond Blue and Black Dog Institute

Canberra singer‑songwriter Ramblerman is set to release his stirring new single Lemonade tomorrow, but we’re thrilled to give fans the very first listen ahead of its official drop. Blending indie folk warmth with touches of smooth, soulful rock, Lemonade is one of Ramblerman’s most personal works to date.

At its heart, the track explores the relentless cycle of self‑reflection and internal dialogue that accompanies struggles with depression. Yet, it also carries a strong message of persistence, resilience, and finding light through the darkness. This emotional honesty is elevated by Ramblerman’s trademark lyrical vulnerability, recalling influences such as Sam Beam, Tim Freedman and Justin Townes Earle.

In a powerful move that aligns with the song’s message, all proceeds from Lemonade will be donated to Beyond Blue and The Black Dog Institute, two vital organisations supporting mental health in Australia. Fans can contribute through purchases on Bandcamp or direct donations via a dedicated GoFundMe.

“Lemonade is a song I’d almost convinced myself I wouldn’t release. One of a number of songs written during a long period of depression ‘Lemonade’ represents a time of my life that I’ve tried very hard to move beyond. It was only with the encouragement of Guy Lilleyman at Amberly Studios that I came to change my perspective toward the song and gradually come around to the idea that the best way to move on from a feeling is to bring it out into the light. At its core, Lemonade is about the relentless cycle of rumination and self-talk that comes along with depression, the repetition of thought, the desperate yearning for change. I hope people will also see that it’s a song about persistence, resilience and finding strength through pain.”Ramblerman.

With its soulful textures, heartfelt storytelling, and genuine purpose, Lemonade is more than just a single, it’s a statement of hope and support. Ramblerman’s heartfelt artistry cements him as one of Canberra’s most compelling voices in the indie scene.
