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 ↴
Change your plans
I never knew you got so sad
I wanted just to loose some flesh
You'd better not reduce yourself
Bigger love = sadder end
I never knew you got so mad
Don't do it at all for someone else
Loose the boyfriend
Get a roommate
Play guitar as loud as you can
Can you play that song for me?
Only that one, not the others
Long ago I used to believe
I was not like everybody
Can you play that song for me?
Only that one, not the others
Play it please!
Change, change
Change your plans
I never knew you got so sad
I wanted just to loose some flesh
You'd better not reduce yourself
Loose the boyfriend
Get a roommate
Play guitar as loud as you can
Can you play that song for me?
Only that one, not the others
Long ago I used to believe
I was just like everybody
Can you play that song for me?
Only that one, not the others
Play it please!
Help me to break the window
Look for desert days
You just left me hollow
Now I just don't believe
Can you play that song for me?
Only that one, not the others
Long ago I used to believe
I was not like everybody
Can you play that song for me?
Only that one, not the others
Play it please!
The song "Surrender" by Dover is an uplifting and empowering anthem about the need for change and self-acceptance. The opening lines "Change, change, change your plans" are a call to action, encouraging the listener to step outside of their comfort zone and embrace new possibilities. The lyrics suggest that the desire to change oneself may come from a place of sadness or disappointment, but the ultimate goal is to better oneself and not to please others.
The lines "I wanted just to lose some flesh, you'd better not reduce yourself" convey the message that self-improvement should come from a place of self-love and acceptance, and not from societal pressure to conform to certain standards. The chorus repeats the need for change and encourages the listener to take control of their life and not let anyone else dictate their decisions.
The final lines of the song "You just left me hollow, now I just don't believe" signify that surrendering to societal expectations and pressures can leave one feeling empty and unfulfilled. The song ends with a plea to play a specific song, suggesting that music can be a source of comfort and inspiration in times of change and uncertainty.
