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:

Sea Song
Dune Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You look different every time
You come from the foam, crested brine
It's your skin shining softly in the moonlight
Partly fish, partly porpoise
Partly baby sperm whale
Am I yours? Are you mine to play with?
You're terrific when you're drunk
I like you mostly late at night, you're quite alright
But I can't understand the different you in the morning
When it's time to play a being human for a while
We smile, we smile, we smile
You'll be different in the spring, I know
You're a seasonal beast
Like the starfish that drift in with the tide, with the tide
So until your blood runs to meet the next full moon
Your madness fits in nicely with my own, with my own
Your lunacy fits neatly with my own
My very own
We're not alone
The lyrics of Dune's song "Sea Song" are about a mermaid and how she is perceived by the singer. The opening lines describe how she looks different every time she appears, having come from the foam, crested brine. The chorus focuses on her half-human, half-fish nature - being partly fish, partly porpoise, and partly baby sperm whale. The singer is left questioning if he or she belongs to the mermaid or if they belong to him or her.
The second verse describes how the singer enjoys spending time with the mermaid when she is drunk because she is terrific. However, he or she cannot understand the different side of her in the morning when it's time to act like a human being. The chorus reiterates that the mermaid is a seasonal beast, like a starfish that drifts in with the tide.
The bridge explains how the madness of the mermaid fits in nicely with the singer's own madness. They are not alone in their craziness, and they belong together. Overall, the song is about the complexity of relationships and accepting people for who they are, even if they are different.
Line by Line Meaning
You look different every time
Your appearance is constantly changing
You come from the foam, crested brine
You emerge from the sea's waves and foam
It's your skin shining softly in the moonlight
In the moonlight, your skin glows softly and brightly
Partly fish, partly porpoise
You are a hybrid of a fish and a porpoise
Partly baby sperm whale
You also have characteristics of a baby sperm whale
Am I yours? Are you mine to play with?
Do we belong to each other? Are we meant to be together?
Joking apart, when you're drunk
Setting aside the jokes, when you're intoxicated
You're terrific when you're drunk
You are fantastic when you're under the influence
I like you mostly late at night, you're quite alright
I enjoy your company, especially at night when you're good
But I can't understand the different you in the morning
I don't recognize the person you become in the morning
When it's time to play a being human for a while
When you need to act like a human for a period
We smile, we smile, we smile
We put on a facade of happiness
You'll be different in the spring, I know
You will change again when spring arrives
You're a seasonal beast
You are a creature that changes with the seasons
Like the starfish that drift in with the tide, with the tide
Similar to starfish that come in with the tide
So until your blood runs to meet the next full moon
Until you undergo another transformation during the full moon
Your madness fits in nicely with my own, with my own
Your insanity complements my own
Your lunacy fits neatly with my own
Your craziness matches mine
My very own
My own unique match
We're not alone
Together, we are not alone
