Sobre el álbum
El álbum Follow the city lights, de 2006, protagonizó uno de los giros estilísticos más radicales, sorprendentes y polémicos de la historia de la música española. En este trabajo Dover decide abandonar por completo su característico sonido de rock y guitarras para abrazar de lleno la música electrónica y el synth-pop. Es una reinvención total que desconcertó a gran parte de sus seguidores.
En consecuencia, el sonido del disco está dominado por los sintetizadores, las cajas de ritmos y las melodías de pop bailable. La producción, a cargo de Daniel Alcover, es brillante y está perfectamente alineada con la estética del electro-pop que triunfaba en Europa en esa época. La banda sonaba completamente diferente, más cercana a Daft Punk que a Nirvana.
El álbum fue un éxito comercial masivo. El primer sencillo, "Let Me Out", se convirtió en un número uno y en un himno en las pistas de baile. La voz de Cristina Llanos se adapta sorprendentemente bien a este nuevo contexto, mostrando su faceta más melódica.
A pesar del éxito, el cambio fue muy criticado por su base de fans más roquera. 'Follow the city lights' es una obra valiente y arriesgada, un testimonio de la inagotable inquietud de una banda que siempre hizo lo que quiso, sin importarle las consecuencias. El título que aparece en la lista de álbumes, `It´s good to be me`, corresponde a un EP anterior de la banda.

And I didn't know where I was standing And I didn't know what I was taking A hundred years holding to this hopes of mine And the wind will blow if not I'll make him Oh! I swear to God I swear I'll make him A million years holding to this hopes of mine I know, I don't have to do this I promise I'll be waiting Leave it all behind Hey you! Don't you leave me hanging I need someone to help me Leave it all behind And the world won't stop and I can't bare it Oh! You have to admit it's suffocating A hundred years holding to this hopes of mine And the sun will shine and I will hate it But I also loathe it when it's raining A million years holding to this hopes of mine I know, I don't have to do this I promise I'll be waiting Leave it all behind Hey you! Don't you leave me hanging I need someone to help me Leave it all behind I know, I don't have to do this promise you'll be waiting Hold my hand and tell me I don't have to do this I know this world is breaking Can't you see I'm aching Hold my hand and tell me I don't have to do this Promise you'll be waiting Promise you would help me Leave it all behind - You & me3:37
