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.
What Goes Around Comes Around
Dover Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The world is pushing me down
What goes around comes around
The world is pushing me down
The world is pushing me down
Into that I've been making
That I've been really breaking
Though I have been training
I haven't really made it
And now it's hurting me bad
Oh oh oh no
You bet
Oh oh oh no no
I'm not insane
Oh oh oh no
You bet
Oh oh oh no no
I'm not, I'm not insane
Walking through a wall of glass
The world is pushing me down
What goes around comes around
The world is pushing me
Is just pushing me down
Into that I've been making
That I've been really breaking
It's really hurting me bad
Though I have been training
I haven't really made it
And now it's hurting me bad
Oh oh oh no
You bet
Oh oh oh no no
I'm not insane
Oh oh oh no
You bet
Oh oh oh no no
I'm not, I'm not insane
Walking through a wall of glass
The world is pushing me down
What goes around comes around
The moving's bringing me down
Wishing things would turn around
The guilt is bringing me down
Walking through a wall of glass
The world is pushing me
It's just pushing me down
It's just pushing me down
Walking through a wall of glass
The world is pushing me down
What goes around comes around
The world is pushing me down
Wishing things would turn around
The guilt is bringing me down
Walking through a wall of glass
The world is pushing me
It's just pushing me down
It's just pushing me down
It's just pushing me down
The world is pushing me
It's just pushing me
It's just pushing me down
The lyrics to Dover's song What Goes Around Comes Around speak to the experience of being pushed down by the world and the feeling of hitting a wall or walking through a wall of glass. The singer of the song admits to having made mistakes and breaking things, but laments that despite training, they haven't been able to make things better. The song expresses a sense of frustration and guilt, with the repeated lyric "the world is pushing me down" emphasizing the feeling of being overwhelmed.
The use of the metaphor of walking through a wall of glass is particularly evocative, suggesting the difficulty and danger of moving forward when everything seems to be working against you. The repetition of the phrase "what goes around comes around" also brings to mind the idea of karma, suggesting that the singer may be experiencing a reckoning for past actions.
Overall, the song is a powerful reflection on the challenges and obstacles that we all face in life, and the struggle to keep going even when things seem impossible.
