1) The German rave band Dune. The band was founded in 1995 by Oliver Froning and Jens Oettrich, who are both big fans of the novels by Frank Herbert - hence the name Dune. Their first single "Hardcore Vibes" featured the voice of Oliver's then 11-year-old cousin Janine. Their second single "Are you ready to fly?" sounded quite different and already featured the typical Dune-style with high-pitched vocals and a catchy melody.
At the end of 1996 the band released the album "Forever" with a lot of tracks in a classical style - all tracks where performed together with the London Session Orchestra (see Dune & the London Session Orchestra). Lead singer Verena von Strenge left Dune after the release of "Forever" to start a solo career. Dune came back in April 1998 with a new lead singer (Vanessa Hörster). The single "Keep the Secret" was only a medium success and its successor "Electric Heaven" flopped completely.
In late 1999 Verena von Strenge came back as lead singer after her solo career was not as successful as she wanted it to be. The single "Dark Side of the Moon" was released and the album "Reunion" was produced and ready for release in May 2000. However the album was never released due to a court order that stopped the single "Heaven".
The latest single released was "Rainbow To The Stars 2003", a rework of their 1996 classic. It was released on 23 June 2003.
2) A Finnish demoscene tracker musician who adopted the more unique name Brothomstates in the latter half of the 1990s and was later signed to Warp Records.
3) Dune was also an Alias used by Drum & Bass Dj/Artist Ray Keith in the early 1990s.
4) An Indiana-based musician who recorded an album called "Road of Life" in 2000.
5) An Australian power/progressive metal band that is now disbanded. The band only recorded a demo called The Eleventh Hour.
8)Duo made of Laurent Garnier and Pascal F.E.O.S. (Pascal Dardoufas). Released one EP: The Alliance EP: Trance, Ambient style electronic.
9) Four friends from Athens, Ohio, finally came together to form DUNE in 2011. Influenced by their favorite acts (Sabbath, Kyuss, QOTSA, Sword, Truckfighters), DUNE's brand of stoner metal has various undertones--everything from soul to thrash. You can find them on Bandcamp.
10) The progressive sludge/stoner metal Dune formed in recent years in Edinburgh, Scotland. They recently released their first EP entitled 'Progenitor'. You can find them on bandcamp here:

Dry Lips
Dune Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where every child is crying
You’re the only one who sees me
You’re the only one who kiss me
On my dry lips
My white lips
I walk around in loneliness
I’m the only one who felt them
I’m the only one who touched them
And your dry skin
Your white skin
Chorus
Cuz we’ll detonate the streets tonight
The streets tonight
That’s why you want us (so) [2x]
I’m running down my neighbourhood
Where everything is dying
You’re the only one who sees me
You’re the only one who touch me
On my dry lips
My white lips
Rushing down in emptiness
Your lies have really cut me
I’m the only one who heard them
I’m the only one who felt them
And your dry lips
Your white lips
Chorus [2x]
I see the light - I say the hallelujah [5x]
I see the light - I'm screaming hallelujah [5x]
Hallelujah, hallelujah
We’ll detonate the streets tonight
The streets tonight
I know that’s why you want us...
Chorus [2x]
The lyrics of the song "Dry Lips" by Dúné appear to be about a person walking down their neighborhood that's full of crying children, feeling isolated and secluded from the rest of the world. But within this loneliness, they find solace in a particular individual who gives them attention and affection, making them feel seen and alive again. This person is referred to as the only one who sees them, who kisses them on their dry and white lips, and touches them, making them feel alive again. However, throughout the song, the lyrics also convey a sense of desperation and turmoil, with the individual feeling that they are rushing down their neighborhood in emptiness, and that everything around them is dying. The words "your eyes have really cut me" and "your lies have really cut me" suggest that there may be some kind of conflict or relationship issues affecting the singer, but despite this, they feel a sense of hope and empowerment, roaring "hallelujah" and screaming of detonating the streets tonight.
Overall, the song suggests themes of isolation, desperation, and conflict, but also hope and a fierce determination to take control of the situation.
