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:

Jack Beats Jim Leads
Dune Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I knew this guy his name was Jim
I wish just anyone would have told him
To keep his fingers from Jack's car
Cause Jack meant that his car was very rare
I knew this guy his name was Jim
i wish that Jack hadn't intervened
Cause to smash Jim's head through a window
Was an overreaction that caused death that day

I can't receive her
What to do what to say it depends on the day

Jack had a date at five o'clock
He didn't want to give her a shock
Cause Jim's head was pretty deform
And the blood pool around him was enormous
No doubt that Jim was dead
Cause everything in the room was pretty red
The date arrived and she passed out
Jack ended up in prison with his father who was proud

I can't receive her
What to do what to say it depends on the day

I want to see her
And I want to touch her

I can't receive her

Overall Meaning

The lyrics for Dúné's song "Jack Beats Jim Leads" describe a violent altercation between two individuals, Jack and Jim. The singer wishes that someone had warned Jim to stay away from Jack's car because Jack considered it to be very valuable. Unfortunately, Jim did not heed this advice and ended up getting into a confrontation with Jack, which ultimately resulted in Jim's death. The singer believes that Jack's response was an overreaction and that it caused unnecessary and tragic harm. The song also touches on the emotional struggles of the singer, who cannot seem to communicate effectively with someone they care about.

The lyrics of "Jack Beats Jim Leads" are quite conceptual and could be interpreted in a variety of ways, but a common theme that emerges is the senseless nature of violence and its wide-reaching consequences. The characters of Jack and Jim are almost archetypical in their roles as aggressor and victim, and their tragic story serves as a reminder of how easily anger and impulsivity can spiral out of control. The lines "What to do what to say it depends on the day" and "I want to see her / And I want to touch her" also suggest a sense of longing and confusion that are not fully explained but add to the emotional power of the song.
