1.- Douglas had a knack for writing songs with hooks that could land whales whilst retaining a hardcore sentiment coupled with energy and emotion. Live performances were a frenetic mass of raw energy, chaos and positive belief in what they did, leading to slots on the Warped Tour and supporting Lostprophets on their 2003 UK tour. After their most successful headline tour to date, changing personal priorities lead to Douglas splitting up. Jamie from the band recently joined Boom In The Diamond Industry. They recently reformed for a one-off performance supporting thisGIRL at their last ever gig in Cardiff in January 2007.

2.- Chilean pop singer Douglas started getting involved in music at the age of 18, having the opportunity to get into show business in 1993 by participating in a music contest called Generaciуn 93 at local TV show Venga Conmigo. After signing up to Sony Music, his debut album, called Cariño Malo, was released, followed by Sigo Romantico, issued in April of 1999. The year after, Douglas was invited to perform at Viña del Mar's Festival in recognition to his talent and growing popularity. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide

3. Douglas is a Pittsburgh, PA rock n' roll band currently revamping their style and sound. The band's line-up seems to be forever in flux, but current members include Jeff Bets, the brains behind the band as well as the lyricist, guitarist, and back-up vocals, Melissa Beall, lead vocals, and Chris Fazio, lead guitar, bass.
They have released one album, Yankee Bluegrass. "YANKEE BLUEGRASS showcases a sort of innocent gameness to try anything -- swingin' horns, three-chord rock, acoustic ballads, surfy guitar solos, even a little twang -- that's oddly affecting" “A free-and-easy romp through alt country and playful pop, punctuated by Jeff Bets’ old-timey harmonica... The music’s summery vibe should sound perfect right about this time of year”.

No Se Te Ocurra
Douglas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Traspasar otra vez
El umbral de mi puerta.
No se te ocurra
Porque vas a encontrarme
Como una flor abierta.
Son muchos tiempos
Los que tengo de espera por ti.
Porque yo no respondo de mí.
No se te ocurra
Arriesgarte a tenerme
Todo el tiempo prendido de ti.
No se te ocurra
Traspasar otra vez
El umbral de mi puerta.
Vas a obligarme
A beber tu fragancia
Y a perder la distancia.
Mira que siempre
En las noches me abrazo de ti,
Y le pregunto
A mí almohada si piensas en mí.
No se te ocurra
Ni con los ojos
A decirme que si.
Son muchos tiempos
Los que tengo de espera por ti.
No te me acerques,
Porque yo no respondo de mí.
No se te ocurra
Ni con los ojos,
A decirme que sí.
The song No Se Te Ocurra by Douglas is a powerful declaration against a toxic relationship. The lyrics implore the subject not to cross the threshold of the singer's door again because he will find her like an open flower. The singer has waited for the subject for a long time and he pleads with her not to come near him because he cannot guarantee his reactions. The lyrics continue as the singer talks about how the subject will force him to drink her fragrance and lose the distance between them. The singer admits that he embraces her in his mind every night and asks his pillow if she thinks about him.
The urgency in the lyrics of No Se Te Ocurra is palpable. The singer is imploring the subject not to come close because of fear of what might happen. The vulnerable nature of the lyrics makes it clear that the singer has been hurt in the past, and he does not want to open himself up to that kind of pain again. The song is a warning to anyone who might want to take advantage of the singer's emotions. It is a powerful anthem about self-preservation and the lengths some people will go to protect their emotional well-being.
