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.

Clover Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I had to run away, and get down on my knees and pray that they'd go away
But still they'd begin (uh), needles and pins (uh)
Because of all my pride, the tears I gotta hide
Hey I thought I was smart, I'd won her heart
Didn't think I'd do, but now I see
She's worse to him than me, let her go ahead
Just how to say please, and get down on her knees
Hey that's how it begins (uh), she'll feel those needles and pins
A-hurtin' her, a-hurtin' her
Why can't I stop and tell myself I'm wrong, I'm wrong, so wrong
Why can't I stand up and tell myself I'm strong
Because I saw her today, I saw her face, it was a face I loved, and I knew
I had to run away, and get down on my knees and pray that they'd go away
But still they'd begin (uh), needles and pins (uh)
Because of all my pride, the tears I gotta hide
Oh needles and pins (uh), needles and pins (uh), needles and pins (uh)
