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.

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.

I tried so hard to make her mine
But when I went to take her hand
She lead off with another man
Keep on trying

I met a girl, she was so fine
I met a beautiful girl and was immediately attracted to her.
I tried so hard to make her mine
I put in a lot of effort to win her over.
But when I went to take her hand
But when I made a move on her,
She lead off with another man
She left me for someone else.
Keep on trying
Don't give up despite the setbacks.
(Keep on trying)
(Keep on trying)
You've got to keep on trying
It's important to persist through challenges.
(Keep on trying)
Keep on trying to get yourself in line
Continue striving towards self-improvement.
(Keep on trying, ooh)
Though I try to make ends meet
Despite my efforts to get by,
I always end up out in the street
I often find myself struggling financially.
And just when I think it's going to get better
And just when I have hope that things will improve,
The man says to me, oh, I'll call you later
Someone disappoints me by not following through on a commitment.
Though I know the world's overcrowded
Even though there are a lot of people in the world,
People alone and broken hearted
Many individuals are lonely and hurting emotionally.
Don't be dissatisfied with your love
Don't feel unhappy about your own love life,
Just be happy with what you've got
Instead, appreciate what you do have and find contentment in that.
Come on, keep on trying
Encouragement to persist and not give up.
