1) a Spanish alternative-pop-rock band which was founded in [year formed]1992[/year formed]. The Band currently consists of the sisters Christina Llanos (guitar/vocals) and Amparo Llanos (guitar), Jesús Antúnez (drums), and Samuel Titos (bass) who recently replaced former bassist Álvaro Díez. Their music ranges from heavy to sweet, shouting to dreaming, but always with a groovy drive.

Dover originated in the outskirts of Madrid at the beginning of the 1990s when the Llanos sisters decided to form a rock band encouraged by the alternative scene from Seattle. In 1994, the drummer Jesús Antúnez and the bass guitarist Álvaro Gómez joined in. One of the band's demo tapes reached the radio program Disco Grande on RNE Radio 3. The band then entered into a one-year contract with the small independent record label Everlasting-Caroline. Their debut album Sister in 1995 lacked promotion and sold poorly; however, the Spanish fanzine Mondo Sonoro included it among the 10 best national albums of the year.

After their initial contract expired, they signed with the independent label Subterfuge Records, which produced their second album Devil Came To Me. This album turned out to be an unprecedented success in the Spanish independent scene. A fragment from the title song was included in a popular Radical Fruit Company television commercial and the band got launched to national fame. While promoting this album, the bass guitarist was replaced by Álvaro Díez, who had already been part of the band at its beginning. The album sold over 500,000 copies and gained them fans also abroad in Europe and the Americas.

Their relationship with Subterfuge Records deteriorated and they signed with Chrysalis Records. In 1998, the band created their own label Loli Jackson Records. The next year they recorded their third album Late At Night in Seattle.

In 2000, they received the MTV Europe Best Spanish Artist award. In 2001, Chrysalis re-released their first album Sister including a bonus unreleased song Noche tras noche. In September that year, after tense recording sessions in Los Angeles marked by disagreements with their album producer Barret Jones, the band released their fourth album I Was Dead For 7 Weeks In The City Of Angels.

In 2003, they released The Flame, recorded in Spain and produced by Rick Will, an album that shows all the fury that has made them big without forgetting those great songs of melody and quality. Stephen Marcussen (Marcussen Mastering, NYC) did the mastering, a classic that has mastered a lot of the legendary records of the last 15 years.

In 2006, Dover released Follow the City Lights. It was recorded at PKO Studios and self-produced along with Daniel Alcover. The album was preceded by the single Let Me Out, and broke away from their usual sound to create a more dance-like style.

The band's 2007 release 2 is a greatest hits compilation, which exhibits the rock sound that brought them to stardom, as well as the band's new electronic sound.

The first single from 2 is entitled "Soldier."

2) An artist associated with the doujin circle Tokyo Audio Waffle, or en;dolphinrecords. He is a producer of a wide range of genres, from house to hip-hop, to chiptune, and to deep house.

Building a Fire
Dover Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So you could be nice
This time
And make up your mind
Oh oh this time I′m drowning
The battle we'll be fighting

Building a fire for the first time
Jesus of April for the tenth time

Don′t wanna waste your life
Building a fire for the first time,
For the first time (for the first time)

So you could try hard
For once
And make up a lie
Oh oh oh this time I'm drowning
The battle we'll be fighting

Building a fire for the first time
Jesus of April for the tenth time
Don′t wanna waste your life
Building a fire for the first time,
For the first time (for the first time)

Oh oh this time I′m drowning
The battle we'll be fighting

Building a fire for the first time
Jesus of April for the tenth time
Don′t wanna waste your life
Building a fire for the first time,

For the first time, for the first time,
For the first time

They express a feeling of being overwhelmed and on the verge of drowning in the ongoing battle that they have been fighting. The repetition of the phrase "for the first time" emphasizes the importance of this moment and the significance of the partner's actions.

The line "Building a fire for the first time, Jesus of April for the tenth time" may suggest that the singer feels like they are constantly starting over and trying to rekindle their relationship, only to face disappointment again and again. The mention of Jesus of April could potentially refer to a past event or promise that was initially meaningful but has lost its impact with repetition.

Overall, the song portrays a sense of longing for change and a plea for the partner to step up and make a genuine effort in the relationship. It conveys the frustration of feeling stuck in a cycle and the desire to break free and find true connection.

So you could be nice
I hope that you can show kindness

This time
This time, in this situation

And make up your mind
And finally make a decision

Oh oh this time I'm drowning
Oh oh this time I feel overwhelmed and suffocated

The battle we'll be fighting
The struggle we will face

Building a fire for the first time
Starting something new and exciting for the very first time

Jesus of April for the tenth time
Repeating the same mistakes or experiences over and over again

Don't wanna waste your life
Not wanting to spend your life in vain

So you could try hard
So that you can put in effort

For once
For this particular instance

And make up a lie
And fabricate a false story
