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.

The Last Word
Dover Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've just had enough of you
And I think I need a truce
All these years that I've been sitting
My legs have turned blue

And all I said
I take it back
None of you will get this far

I'm so grossly white
Won't get worse than that

Oh! I am alone
And I know it's my fault

I forgot to tell the truth
And now I'm stuck with you
All these years that I've been needy
My legs have got brushed

And all I said
I take it back
None of you will get this far
I'm so grossly white
Won't get worse than that

Oh! I am alone
And I know it's my fault

Overall Meaning

The song "The Last Word" by Dover is a melancholic portrayal of a relationship that has reached its end. The singer in the song expresses their dissatisfaction with the person they are addressing, and they want to call a truce. They have been sitting for so long that their legs have turned blue, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for being stuck or trapped in the situation. However, as the song progresses, the singer shifts the blame onto themselves, saying that they forgot to tell the truth and are now stuck with the other person. The repetition of the line "And all I said, I take it back," emphasizes regret and the wish to undo the past. The refrain "Oh! I am alone, and I know it's my fault" encapsulates the sense of loneliness that comes with the end of a relationship and the realization that one's actions contributed to its downfall.

The song's lyrics are open to interpretation, and some could argue that they are about self-reflection and taking responsibility for one's actions. It could also be seen as a commentary on the difficulties of maintaining relationships or refusing to take responsibility for one's mistakes. The solemn tone and slow-paced instrumentals add to the emotional weight of the lyrics, and the song serves as a poignant reminder of lost love and the pain that comes with it.
