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:

Everybody Fights the Lust
Dune Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This peace can't compete with the peace of the of the city
I feel my shadows they are hanging over me
Every time I point a gun at my enemy
I find it pointed at myself
Cause
Everybody fights the lust, and run
Everybody fights
Freedom is to embrace our fears
Not, escaping from all the suffering and tears
Everybody fights
I would rather explode
Than fade away to the silence of order
I can only ask myself for the profit of my day
Everybody runs, but to run is self-treason
Cause
Everybody fights the lust, and run
Everybody fights the lust, I run
Everybody fights
Freedom is to embrace our fears
Not, escaping from all the suffering and tears
Everybody fights
Try to catch it when you're weeping
And welcome the unknown
It can catch you when you're sleeping
At time when you're alone
If we move out eyelids
And let the light pass our brains
Fell the pulsing hunger
Towards the nerve that set us free
Then we know the whole world is running
Then we know the whole world is running
Then we know the whole world is running
But, I'm only one escaping
Freedom is...
The song Everybody Fights the Lust by Dúné is about the struggle between our wild, instinctual desires and the societal order that we live in. The lyrics suggest that both options have their downsides, and imply that true freedom lies in our ability to embrace our fears and accept the suffering and tears that come with it. The singer talks about finding himself pointing a gun at his enemy, only to realize that it is actually pointed at himself. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for how our desires can have unintended consequences that harm us in the long run.
The chorus, that is repeated multiple times, has the line "Everybody fights the lust, and run" which suggests that we are often in conflict with our own desires, and seek to escape them by running away. The song encourages listeners to stop running and confront their fears, arguing that this is the only way to truly be free. The final verse talks about the need to open our minds to new possibilities and to embrace the unknown, rather than succumbing to the safety of a predictable life.

Try to catch it when you're weeping
Attempt to seize opportunities even in moments of despair or sadness
And welcome the unknown
Embrace the uncertainty and unpredictability of life
It can catch you when you're sleeping
Opportunities can arise unexpectedly and even when we are not actively seeking them
At time when you're alone
We may feel most vulnerable and exposed when we are alone with our thoughts
If we move out eyelids
If we open our eyes to the world around us
And let the light pass our brains
And allow ourselves to be receptive to knowledge and new experiences
Fell the pulsing hunger
Feel the intense desire for growth and self-improvement
Towards the nerve that set us free
Towards the source of our inner strength and courage
Then we know the whole world is running
We realize that everyone is constantly striving for improvement and success
But, I'm only one escaping
But I am still personally responsible for pursuing my own goals and dreams
