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.

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 like the candle burning slowly
Until the day I die
I see
Until it swallows me
I feel
I feel the weight upon my shoulders
And I can breathe no more
I know
I know the end is coming closer
And I speak no more
Oh yeah it's all right
Whoa yeah it's gone
I try
I try to scale the walls around it
To know their far too high
I feel
I feel the hook is going deeper
Deep into my eye
I found
I found the treasure of
But your know it's not mine
I sound
I sound the sorrow drinking loudly
Loudly all through the night
Oh yeah it's all right
Whoa yeah it's gone
I like
I like the candle burning slowly
Until the day I die
I see
I see my feet are sinking slowly
Until it swallows me
I feel
I feel the weight upon my shoulders
And I can breathe no more
I know
I know the end is coming closer
And I speak no more
Oh yeah it's all right
Whoa yeah it's gone
It seems as though Clover's song "Vera Lee" explores the feeling of being stuck and overwhelmed, with the constant repetition of "I like the candle burning slowly / Until the day I die" reflecting a sense of resignation and acceptance towards what seems to be an inevitable end. The imagery of sinking and the weight on the shoulders convey the feeling of being trapped or stuck in a difficult situation with no way out.
The lines "I try to scale the walls around it / To know their far too high" also contribute to this feeling of hopelessness and helplessness. It's as if the singer is trying to find a way out or a solution to their problem but finding it impossible to do so. The repetition of "Oh yeah it's all right / Whoa yeah it's gone" also adds to this overall sense of finality, as though the singer has accepted their fate and is now resigned to it.
