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:

Get It Get It
Dune Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You need education,
Your superficial revelations,
Accept life's invitation, go on and
Get it, get it

Your soul
Will sue
Your life when your body dies

42
Enjoy your youth!

All of our lives we just wait, wait, wait to die
If I was a human
I'd go and
Get it, get it

Your soul
Will sue
Your life when your body dies
42
Enjoy your youth!

Life is not worth pretending
You shall make it grow

Only by your daring dreams
You can: get it, get it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dúné's song Get It Get It encourage the listener to take action, grow and learn. In the opening lines, the listener is reminded that they need to seek knowledge and not be satisfied with superficial understanding or revelations. Life is an invitation, and the listener is encouraged to grab it and make the most of it by taking action and achieving their goals. The repetitiveness of the phrase "get it, get it" reinforces the idea that the listener needs to actively pursue their dreams and aspirations.

The second verse provides a reminder that life is short and that the listener should enjoy their youth. The line "Your soul will sue your life when your body dies" suggests that the soul will hold us accountable for the way we lived, emphasizing the importance of living life to the fullest. The number "42" is often considered to be the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything in Douglas Adams' book "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." This reference implies that life's purpose is subjective, and the listener must discover their own purpose by taking risks and experiencing new things.

The final verse encourages the listener to be authentic and pursue their dreams. Pretending and conforming are not worth it, and growth only comes from daring to dream and taking bold actions. Overall, the song reminds us that life is precious and that we should not waste it. The listener is empowered to take charge, live boldly, and make the most of their life.
