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:

Nothing compares 2 u
Dune Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away

Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant

But nothing, I said nothing can take away these blues

'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 you
It's been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song

Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby, where did I go wrong
I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they'd only remind me of you

Went to the doctor guess what he told me, guess what he told me
He said girl you better try to have fun no matter what you do, but he's a fool
'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 you

All the flowers that you planted mama
In the back yard, all died when you went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try

'Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 you

Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dune's song "Nothing Compares 2 U" speaks to the universal feeling of heartbreak and loneliness that comes after losing someone you deeply care about. The singer of the song sings about the deep pain and sorrow she has felt since her love left her seven hours and fifteen days ago. She spends her time going out at night and sleeping away the day but finds no real solace in her situation. The singer goes on to say that although she can do whatever she wants to do, like going to fancy restaurants and seeing whomever she pleases, nothing can take away her loneliness or make her forget the one she lost.

As the song progresses, the singer comes to the realization that nothing compares to her lost love. She states that nothing can stop her tears from falling and wonders where she went wrong. The thought of putting her arms around other boys only reminds her of her love, and even though her doctor advises her to try and have fun, she knows that he is a fool. The singer goes on to remember all the flowers that her love planted in their backyard before leaving, which all died after he left, and decides that she's willing to give their love another try because even after all that's happened, nothing compares to the one she's lost.
