1) A Popular French rock group Dolly got together in Nantes, a town in the west of France, in 1991. Their formation came about thanks to drummer Thierry Lacroix and singer Emmanuelle Monet - aka Manu - who shared a mutual passion for English and American music. The Anglophile duo teamed up with two musician friends - bass-player Mick Chamberlin and guitarist Nicolas Bonniere (who was just 15 at the time!) - and went on to make a name for themselves on the local music scene as Dolly & co.
Dolly and C°'s early influences might have been lifted from the best chapters of an English/American rock compendium - indeed, the group's sound was heavily influenced by the likes of Blondie, Prince, the Pixies and the Smashing Pumpkins. But lead singer Manu's greatest source of inspiration was the work of English indie diva PJ Harvey. The young French singer was fascinated by Harvey's deep, melancholy vocals and, after seeing PJ in concert, Manu decided to accompany her own singing on guitar. Performing extensively on the local music scene, Dolly and C° soon began to build up an extensive repertoire (most of which was written by Manu). And before long the group attracted a massive following of fans.
Encouraged by this early success on the local music scene, Dolly and C° went into the studio to begin work on their debut album. After producing a mini album (featuring six tracks), Dolly and C° went on to produce their first full-length album themselves. (The album, entitled simply "Dolly and C°, actually scored a considerable hit on the national music scene, selling over 85,000 copies).
Shortly after the release of their début album, the group underwent several major changes in their line-up, re-inventing themselves as Dolly. The new-look Dolly went on to sign a recording deal with the East West label and then returned to the studio to set to work on a new CD album.
2) Dolly (alternative tag: Ｄｏｌｌｙ) is a Japanese indie visual kei rock band formed in 2005 and currently signed to FUJI PRODUCTION.
Boasting a melodious guitar sound and a stylish musical sensibility that's dark and rich with attitude, band Dolly lures audiences into their elaborate fairy-tale world with their fusion of catchy radiance and a darkly distorted perspective.

Dolly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't feel it
So please let's keep this moment
Honey just wait and see
I like this new place
It's so peaceful here
Forget what's gone
Under the bridge
I meam
We'rre getting so close
And it feels good now
I watch you breathe at night
And i swallow l'air it keeps me alight
Working to keep our mid free
From fears
Maybe i'm only dreaming
Just tell me that i'm right
If you want following the tears
Taht i was hiding from
We'rre shel tered by the beautiful trees
We look so naked
I meam
We'rre getting so close
I'm feeling good and you feel so nice
Just watch me as i leave
See that silence
It's better when we forget the fights
Imagine we're swimming
High above the stars at night
So now we follow beliefs
Never thoiught it was too late
So now we can feel it
I can swallow all the air
You give to me
I guess you need
I guess you need my body
I guess i need
I guess i need yours too
I guess you need
I guess i need
Need it need it
The lyrics of Dolly's song "Under the Bridge" speak to finding peace and new beginnings with a loved one. The rain may fall, but the singer doesn't feel it, asking to "keep this moment" and forget the past as they start "just one more life" together, sheltered by the trees. The singer speaks of watching their partner breathe at night, finding comfort and solace in their presence, and wanting to protect themselves from fears by working to keep their minds free, dreaming that they are swimming together above the stars at night.
The song speaks to the power of love and finding new beginnings, even when past fights or fears may try to hold us back. The imagery of the trees and the stars, and the physical connection between the singer and their partner, emphasizes the intimacy and closeness between the two.
In terms of the song's composition and production, it features delicate acoustic guitar and percussion, with Dolly's light and airy vocals guiding the melody. The song was released on Dolly's 2002 album "Halos and Horns" and received positive reviews from critics and fans.
