3. Clover is an indiepop band formed in 2001 in Jakarta Indonesia with the line up Ms. Tia in vocals and guitars, Ms. Nanda in guitars, Ms. Hana in bass, Ms. Tania in keyboards, and Mrs. Zara in drums. In 2003, Clover released a debut e.p. called Prelude to Departure which is released as a gift for Ms. Hana who’d like to study in China for about a year. After, Mrs. Hana came home, Clover re-released the e.p plus 2 new songs.
Right now, Clover''s full length album has already released and available in the record stores. It's released under the label Paviliun Records. The first single from the album is also available for downloads. Not just that, the single itself was remixed by Miya of Microtone, a DJ from Japan.
You can also get Untill Whenever album in i-tunes released under Japanese record, Soundandlife, along with several remixes.
4. Clover (from Salt Lake City) - In 1993 Jamen Brooks, Mitch Glende, and Brant Paulsen began to write and then record Clover's first album, Tanglewood. By the time it was recorded--a year later--Clover decided it might be time to play somewhere besides their basement. It didn't take long for the band to gain a cult-like following, despite their reluctance to seek the limelight. Even though they were technically a fledgling group, their folksy-rocking sound was so well developed that their fan base more than doubled at every show. The smaller venues missed their chance to feature the trio within a year. By the time their second album, Sun, was released in the summer of 1995 they were consistently selling out their own headlining shows in clubs that normally turn their noses up to anything but national acts. With Sun on the market their radio play also boomed. Between the two albums the group produced four radio singles that all reached either top five or number one most requested status on X96 (KXRK).
Clover released a third album in 1998 called New Grand Silver. The lead singer, Jamen Brooks, released a solo album Sleepyhead.
5. French Trip Hop Band formed by Charlotte and Garin. Charlotte and Garin met in February 2001, but Garin was studying in Grenoble while Charlotte was living in Paris, so they wrote their songs together using the Internet. Thanks to the Internet again, Laurent Collat discovered them and said he would help them record their first album if Undercover was in... and so they did. In October 2004, Undercover released Clover's first album "World's End Lane".
6. Before either of these was the 1970's country rock band which included Huey Lewis and which backed Elvis Costello on his album "My Aim is True"
7. A Japanese Neo Bossa Nova act.
8. The vocalist from the korean indie band Standing EGG with his solo work.
9. Project hip hop group from Korea consisting of Tyfoon, Eun Ji Won and Gilme. Correct tag: 클로버
10. An indie band from Vigo, Spain with 4 releases: Modern Disgraces (2009), The Stolen Beats (2011), A Summer In Your Bedroom (2012) and Shinrai (2012).
11. A 2020 four-member P-pop idol girl group from the Philippines.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What do you think about this generation?
All those kids trying to be a star
Just to get everyone's attention
Don't you know
What their motivations are?
They learn to sing and play guitar
But they don't know how to sing with heart
Go out there try and be somebody
Sing sad songs and make some money
If you girls scream for you and move their bodies
You won't know
You won't know
You won't know it's not about your looks
Not about your moves
You act so cool just like they told you
But you aren't selling any truth
Kid you are not the only one in the room!
There's a lot a like you
Just the same as you
How can I make you understand?
Go out there try and be somebody
Sing sad songs and make some money
If you make girls scream for you and move their bodies
You won't know
No you won't know
I don't like to critize
But it's all I see right in you eyes
Another pretty face
Who wants some fame
You don't know what it's about
You gotta sing it with you soul
You better sing it with your heart
Dance it with your feet
If you want to be a star
Like the old time rock and roll
You gotta wear it in your skin
Sing it to the world yeah
Sing it to the world!
Go out there yeah
Be somebody
Sing sad songs and make some money
If you make girls scream for you and move their bodies
You wont' know
You won't know
No you won't know

They may learn to sing or play an instrument, but they lack sincerity in their performances.
Clover encourages these aspiring stars to go out and try to make a name for themselves, but to do so with purpose and passion. She reminds them that success is not just about looks and moves or making girls scream, but about connecting with audiences on a deeper level. Clover asserts that the key to becoming a true star is to wear your passion on your sleeve and to sing with your heart and soul.
