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:

To find another happy place

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dune's song "Million Miles From Home" tell the story of a person who was sent to outer space in search of happiness but now feels alone and isolated. The repetition of the opening lines "I was sent to outer space / To find another happy place" suggests that the person was unhappy with their life on Earth and hoped to find something better elsewhere. However, the reality of being alone in space without the comfort and companionship of home has left them feeling lost and disconnected. The phrase "Floating through the galaxy / All the stars in front of me" suggests a sense of wonder and awe at the vastness of space, but this is tempered by the reality of being "left here all alone."

Despite the loneliness and isolation, there is a persistent sense of hope in the lyrics. The repetition of "million miles away" suggests that distance is not insurmountable and that the person may be able to find their way back home. The phrase "to find another happy place" also suggests that the person is not resigned to their current situation and is willing to keep searching for happiness, even if it means venturing further into the unknown.

Overall, "Million Miles From Home" captures the complex emotions associated with exploration and isolation, reminding us that even in the vastness of space, we are still connected to our human experiences of longing, hope, and the quest for happiness.
