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.
Far
Dover Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because I'm never far enough
I've been planning this for thirty years
No one's gonna stop me now
All I need to know is what it is
I got the balls so believe in me
You just wanted me dead little boy
I've been drinking soda for a month
Just in case I need to fly
Yes you never know what's gonna come
I must be ready for everything
I've got something for you little boy
You just wanted me dead little boy
Far is not the word
Because I'm never far enough
Down! now!
Now you can say goodbye
Get our of the car
You won't get rid of me so fast
And put up your hands
Is not my fault
Neither the summer's
Nor the winters
It is your whole life!
The lyrics of Dover's song "Far" suggest an underlying theme of vengeance that has been brewing inside someone for thirty years. The first line, "Far is not the word," signifies that distance from a past hurt or injustice does not equate to forgetting or letting go of it. The following line, "Because I'm never far enough," emphasizes the idea that whatever the singer is seeking to achieve, distance alone cannot stop them. The third line, "I've been planning this for thirty years," clues us into the long-term strategy behind the singer's intention, which is formidable given the time period.
The song suggests that the singer has been wronged by someone, as indicated by the lines, "You just wanted me dead little boy" and "It is your whole life!" These punchy lyrics prove to be impactful, suggesting extreme resentment or a desire for revenge against the person who has somehow hurt the singer. Alcohol and flying are mentioned in the song, implying that the singer may be seeking to escape the situation that has caused them such pain. "I've been drinking soda for a month / Just in case I need to fly / Yes, you never know what's gonna come / I must be ready for everything" suggests that they are making a concerted effort to deal with the situation in a strategic way.
In conclusion, "Far" is an emotionally charged song that speaks to themes of injustice, vengeance, and escape. The lyrics suggest that distance alone is not enough to heal past hurts and that a person who has faced trauma may require a well-planned, strategic approach to find resolution.

It's not my fault
Neither the summer's
Nor the weather's
Nor the winters
Nor the cold
It is your whole life!
It's the culmination of your entire existence
