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.

Honest
Dover Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Honest? I don't think you heard me
It's not that you have to do it
It's simply my commend

I know (you) have been very busy
You don't have the right to do this
You're stupid like all your friends

It's you and your goddamn cowboys
You have been so annoying
I'm cutting you off again

It's true! Just tried to ignore you
But you look kinda slutty
I bet that you think I care

Honest? I don't think you like me
And I just don't like you either
And maybe it's for the best

I know (you) have been very busy
You don't have the right to do this
You're bossy like all the rest

It's you and your goddamn cowboys
You have been so annoying
I'm cutting you off again

It's true! I tried to ignore you
But you look kinda slutty
I bet that you think I care

I bet you do! I bet you do!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dover's song Honest is about a relationship that has gone sour. The singer is speaking to someone who has continually been annoying, aggressive, and disrespectful towards her. She is telling the other person that they don't have to do anything for her and that all she wants is their honesty. She accuses them of being stupid, bossy, and annoying, and eventually says that she's cutting them off again.

Throughout the song, it's clear that the singer is fed up with the other person's behavior and doesn't see any way to fix the relationship. There's a sense of finality to the song, as the singer acknowledges that they don't like each other and it's probably for the best if they go their separate ways. The line "I bet that you think I care" is especially cutting, as it suggests that the other person is trying to hurt the singer by assuming that they still have feelings for them.

Honest? I don't think you heard me
I'm not sure you understand what I'm trying to say

It's not that you have to do it
I'm not asking you to do anything

It's simply my commend
It's just my opinion

I know (you) have been very busy
I understand you have other things going on

You don't have the right to do this
You shouldn't be doing what you're doing

You're stupid like all your friends
You and your friends are all foolish

It's you and your goddamn cowboys
You and your annoying friends

You have been so annoying
You've been bothering me

I'm cutting you off again
I'm done dealing with you

It's true! Just tried to ignore you
I really did try to avoid you

But you look kinda slutty
You appear to be acting promiscuously
