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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With make up on make face, and the dress aside and I'm done
And the people's cheering today, but maybe tomorrow they will be gone
So now that you are here welcome to the show
don't get me wrong, I really love what I do
But sometimes it makes me feel like a fool
People come on and just let me out
I'm breaking throught the walls so tell me are you ready for more?
Somebody unlock me and just let me out
People come on and just let me out
I'm breaking throught the walls so tell me are you ready for more?
Now I don't have to win, I'm in control
I'll give you what you need and do what I want
Ain't no trying to bring me down, I'm moving up and I'm on top
Happy lauhing kids The circus must go un!
don't get me wrong, I really love what I do
But sometimes it makes me feel like a fool
Somebody unlock me and just let me out
People come on and just let me out
I'm breaking throught the walls so tell me are you ready for more?
Somebody unlock me and just let me out
People come on and just let me out
I'm breaking throught the walls so tell me are you ready for more?
Thank's to upon, I have my feet on the gruond
Ain't no money makes me change the way I'm playing this game
I'm still the same
don't get me wrong, I really love what I do
But sometimes it makes me feel like a fool
Somebody unlock me and just let me out
People come on and just let me out
I'm breaking throught the walls so tell me are you ready for more?
Somebody unlock me and just let me out
People come on and just let me out
I'm breaking throught the walls so tell me are you ready for more?
The lyrics to Dover's song "Let Me Out" appear to be a commentary on the experience of being a performer, particularly as it pertains to the circus or theater. The first verse sets the stage, with the singer stating that they are about to begin their show, and that they feel like a clown with their makeup and costume on. They acknowledge that while the crowd may be cheering today, they may not be there tomorrow, highlighting the temporary nature of success in the entertainment industry. The chorus, which repeats throughout the song, consists of a plea to be let out of the performer's metaphorical cage or prison.
The second verse speaks to the performer's sense of agency within their work. They say that they don't have to win, because they are in control and can give the audience what they want while still doing what they want. They assert that they are "moving up and on top," and that they are happy to be providing entertainment to children. The final verse reflects on the idea that success and money can sometimes change people, but that the singer remains grounded and true to themselves.
As a whole, "Let Me Out" seems to be a statement of both frustration and pride from the perspective of a performer. While they enjoy what they do, they also feel trapped by the expectations and demands of their job, and are eager to break free from those constraints.

Mi tío era un gran fan de Dover, aún quedan discos y discos en su habitación con el aparato reproductor que usaba para ellos. Tristemente, esta canción salió demasiado tarde y nunca pudimos llegar a escucharla juntos, pero sé que le hubiera encantado. Hoy, 5 de febrero de 2023, hace 18 años que falleció en un accidente de tráfico. Vengo, como cada año, a recordarlo con este grupo, su favorito y mi canción favorita de ellos. Sé que si mi tío siguiera aquí tendría 44 años y estaríamos bailando esto cada vez que nos viéramos. Siento que no tuviéramos más recuerdos juntos, y también siento que te fueras tan pronto. Aquí siempre vas a tener un sobrino que te adora ❤🩹

Siento mucho lo de tu tío, que en paz descanse.
Tengo 44 años y te aseguro que a tu tío esta nueva etapa de DOVER no creo que le gustase nada.
Un saludo y un fuerte abrazo y mientras sigas recordando a tu tío, el seguirá al lado tuyo. 🤗
