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.

(Hooooohooooo - Been this low before)
(Hooooohooooo - Been this low before)

The followers the leaders and I'm crying out a storm.
The water oh it's freezing and the pain's starting to show.
I have to call you, oh I know I'm begging at your door.
But don't you worry, I been this low before.

Would you believe in me, I'm waiting alone!
Whatever happens to you I really wanna know.

The holy ones, the sinners and I'm crying out a storm.
Staring at the ceiling and the pain's starting to show.
I have to call you, oh I know I'm begging at your door.
But don't you worry, I been this low before.

Would you believe in me, I'm waiting alone!
Whatever happens to you I really wanna know.

Overall Meaning

The song "Denial" by Dover speaks about despair and the feelings of being at rock bottom. The lyrics start with the singer crying out in distress while feeling the same way as followers and leaders. The pain is beginning to show, and the water feels freezing, but the singer chooses to call someone and begs at their door. They tell the person not to worry because they have been low before. Perhaps the singer is struggling with addiction or mental illness.

The next verse talks about a person waiting alone and wanting to know what happens to someone they care about truly. The holy ones and the sinners have something in common, crying out in discomfort, and dealing with pain that is apparent. The singer repeats the same lines from earlier about begging at someone's door and having been low before. They want the person to believe in them and know what is happening to make the pain subside.

In the end, the singer admits to obsessing and feeling despair due to a situation that is troubling them. They ask for help, saying they need someone to pull them out of the low they're in.
