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:

Time to Leave
Dune Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They gave their lives to me
I made songs about how much I disliked that place
Looking back touched by sweet sadness
Leaving home and seeking out
Kiss my past goodbye and turn to walk out of their will
It's time to leave
I can't deny it was holding me back
And I can't deny I was kept of track
And I don't know why I shouldn't leave
I can't deny I was blinded by love
And I can't deny I needed that shove
I don't know why I shouldn't leave
And I don't know why I shouldn't leave
It's time to leave
(And leave this world alone)
It's time to leave
(And leave this world alone)
It's time to leave (leave)
Leave
As a child I was protected by love
As a child I got careless of love
So I don't know why I shouldn't leave
But now I'm free to do what I want
And now I'm free to think on my own
I don't know why I shouldn't leave
So I don't know why I shouldn't leave
It's time to leave
(And leave this world alone)
It's time to leave
(And leave this world alone)
It's time to (live)
Live
And I know it's time to leave
They gave their lives to me
I made songs about how much I disliked that place
It's time to leave
The lyrics to Dúné's "Time to Leave" describe a personal journey of growth and escape from the confines of home and familial expectations. The song begins with the singer acknowledging that it's time for them to leave, despite the sacrifices made by their loved ones. They then reflect on their past, where they wrote songs expressing their disdain for their current situation. Looking back now, they feel a sense of bittersweet nostalgia as they prepare to depart.
The chorus repeats, driving home the message that leaving is necessary for growth and personal fulfillment. The next verse touches on feeling held back and restrained by circumstances or other people, and how love can sometimes blind us to the need for change. However, now that the singer has gained freedom and independence, they feel empowered to make their own choices and direct their own thoughts.
Overall, "Time to Leave" is a song about acknowledging the past while moving forward with determination and confidence. It's about breaking free from inherited expectations and carving out one's own path, no matter how difficult or uncertain the journey may be.
