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.
Sound Of Thunder
Clover Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I try to draw you up but I am drawn under
And I sit on the floor with my rum
I cannot use my knife or draw my gun
Machines are spinning around, I'm stuck in the city
I try to catch a bus but it was all filled up
And I sit on the floor with my rum
Sorrys fill up the air, there is a sound of thunder
I try to draw you up but I am drawn under
And I sit on the floor with my rum
I cannot use my knife or draw my gun
Ah, rocking, ooh, the sound of thunder, oh
And do you not think that the sound, yeah oh
The opening line “Sorrys fill up in the air, there is a sound of thunder” gives a sense of remorse and pain in the atmosphere. The singer is filled with sorrow and regret for their actions and words that have caused some form of upheaval or altercation in their life. The sound of thunder that follows represents the intensity of the situation and the turmoil that the singer is feeling. The second line “I try to draw you up but I am drawn under” reveals that the singer is trying to resolve and salvage a relationship or a situation but is forced to concede defeat, leaving them feeling powerless and vulnerable.
The following lines “And I sit on the floor with my rum, I cannot use my knife or draw my gun” gives off imagery of isolation and introspection. The singer is sitting on the floor possibly because they have been knocked down metaphorically or are reflecting on past mistakes. The appearance of alcohol in the line implies that the singer is trying to cope with the situation by drowning their sorrows. Comparing oneself to a knife or a gun could suggest that the singer is usually fiercely protective, but in this moment of vulnerability, they are unable to use these weapons to defend themselves.
The last few lines are a repetition of the first two lines: “Sorrys fill up the air, there is a sound of thunder, I try to draw you up but I am drawn under.” This further emphasizes the despair and hopelessness that the singer feels about their situation. In essence, the song is about being stuck in a tumultuous situation, dealing with regret, and feeling powerless.

I remember playing this song over and over and over again as an eight year old, almost driving the whole family crazy. Today, at the age of sixty, the feeling's exactly the same. Point is: there's no such thing as being an "adult", for the child within knows nothing about age. And the right music melts all those years like snowflakes.
@feralmettle1504
Have you ever thought about the lyric?
@vickietudor4506

@timleonard5597
Don't let the child within try to talk you into doing the crazy dancing though. Your knees will thank you.
