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.
The Handle
Clover Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Only one thing wrong
You're seeing just what I'm saying
By then, it's too late
I wish I went away
The only you can stop it
Is thinking where you're headed
Once you lock the door
Can't turn the handle anymore
Once you turn out the lights
It's too dark to see
We're gonna make it
We're gonna make it
We're gonna take the day
We're gonna make it
Ah, yeah, yeahh
(LONG PAUSE)
Ah yeah
The lyrics to Clover's song The Handle are open to interpretation, but they seem to describe the regret and fear that can come with speaking too openly and honestly. The singer starts by saying that they feel like they've made an appearance, implying that they are putting on a show or presenting a persona. They acknowledge that there is only one thing wrong, but don't specify what that is. The second line could be read as saying that the listener (or perhaps the whole world) is finally understanding what the singer is saying, but it's too late - the damage has been done. The rest of the verse seems to be about the difficulty of controlling your emotions and how they are perceived by others. The only way to stop others from seeing what you're feeling is to be more mindful of where you're headed and what you're saying.
In the chorus, the singer emphasizes the idea that once you've made a choice or revealed something about yourself, you can't go back. The metaphor of locking the door and not being able to turn the handle anymore suggests that once you commit to a course of action, there's no going back. Similarly, once you've turned out the lights, you can't change the fact that it's too dark to see. Despite this sense of finality, the chorus is ultimately optimistic, with the singer repeating the phrase "We're gonna make it" several times. It's unclear exactly what "it" refers to - perhaps success, happiness, or simply getting through a difficult time - but the message is one of resilience and determination.
Overall, The Handle seems to be a song about the challenges of being honest and vulnerable, and the consequences that can come with sharing too much. It emphasizes the importance of being mindful of your words and actions before it's too late. Despite the darker themes, the chorus offers a sense of hope and a commitment to pushing through difficult times.
