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.
Leave Me Alone
Dover Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't want to stay
But don't call the cops
It's the easiest way
(Just leave me alone)
Already know
what you're gonna say
Oh, let me go!
Said all you wanted
Now I get my turn
and I forgot to tell you
what I really thought
This is the end
They already know
I think I ran out of words
Leave me alone
I don't want to stay
Don't call the cops
It's the easiest way
(Just leave me alone)
Already know
what you're gonna say
Oh, let me go!
I don't want to
Got all you wanted
Now it's not my fault
and I forgot to tell you
what I really thought
This is the end
They already know
I think I ran out of words
Leave me alone
I don't want to stay
Don't call the cops
It's the easiest way
(Just leave me alone)
Already know
what you're gonna say
Oh, let me go!
I don't want to
The lyrics of Dover's song "Leave Me Alone" express a strong desire for space and independence. The singer is telling whoever it is that is bothering them to back off and stop trying to control or influence them. The tone is somewhat desperate and frustrated, as if the singer has been dealing with this person's interference for some time and has reached their breaking point. They don't want to be physically restrained or caught up in a confrontation, but they also don't want to continue pretending that everything is okay.
The repetition of the phrase "just leave me alone" emphasizes the importance of the singer's need for solitude and autonomy. They're not asking for a compromise or a conversation, but rather for a complete cessation of interaction. However, the line "already know what you're gonna say" suggests that this has been a recurring issue and that the other person might not be respecting the singer's boundaries.
The final lines, "this is the end, they already know, I think I ran out of words," imply that the singer has reached the end of their rope and doesn't have anything else to say on the matter. It's a sentiment that could be interpreted as either a sign of defeat or a declaration of independence, depending on how the listener hears it.
