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.

Crash
Dover Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was wrong
You were right
I was dreading...
I was dreading the crash
Taking turns
And get a light
I was hoping...
I was hoping to crash

Don't you know I'm starting to see
Don't you know it's just what I need
Holding on
To a knife
I was dreading...
I was dreading the crash
Taking turns
Being nice
I was hoping.
I was hoping to crash

Don't you know I'm starting to see
Don't you know it's just what I need

I was wrong
You were right
I was dreading...
I was dreading the crash

Don't you know I'm starting to see
Don't you know it's just what I need

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Crash" by Dover speak about the conflicting feelings and emotions of the singer regarding a possible crash or collision. The song seems to narrate the tale of someone who was wrong regarding something, while the other person was right, and now there is an impending impending crash. The lyrics, "I was wrong / You were right / I was dreading... / I was dreading the crash" convey the singer's sense of apprehension about the inevitable event.

Taking turns and being nice didn't bring any resolution, and the singer considers crashing as the only way out of the situation. The lines "Taking turns / And get a light / I was hoping... / I was hoping to crash" seem to suggest that the singer is tired of the back-and-forth and desires an end to the situation, even if it means crashing. The lyrics "Holding on / To a knife" suggest that the situation has escalated, and the singer is possibly holding onto something sharp or dangerous as a coping mechanism.

The song seems to be an exploration of the complexities of relationships and the emotions that come with them. The singer acknowledges their mistake but is unable to reconcile with the other person. They are starting to see the bigger picture, but it's what they need despite knowing how it could end.
