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:

Dune Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

How can I try how can I try?
You've already lost the fight
Do you like it for faction don't roll the dice

For my own things should be just fine

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Duñe's song "Save Yourself First" reflect the message of putting yourself first and taking charge of your own life. The song suggests that there are warning signs that people often ignore, and we must learn to read them before it's too late. The opening lines illustrate this point, as the singer sings, "How can I try, how can I try? You've already lost the fight. Do you like it for faction don't roll the dice?" The 'you' might refer to someone who keeps making bad choices and refuses to change. The singer thinks that they are scared to face the consequences and keep denying the reality, even though it's obvious they have lost.

The chorus of the song focuses on acceptance, self-awareness, and taking care of oneself. "I think you is shook I see the fallin' is right, But she ain't used by your side, Oh acceptance over sleep all the lie, Don't waste your time" suggests that it's time to stop doing things that harm oneself and work on acceptance to move forward. The repetition of "And for the size can we stay inside?" acts as a reminder to think about one's own well-being and learn to say no if it affects one's mental, emotional, or physical health. The final verse of the song emphasizes the importance of self-care, where the singer urges the listener to save themselves first before anything else.
