Shun is the only band in today's music scene putting this emotion and dynamics into their songs to create a style not yet seen in music today. They tend to stay away from trendy beats and originate their own style instead of imitating others.
Shun has played many shows covering the southeast from Nashville to New Orleans, playing with many known bands such as The Urge, Stuck Mojo, and Nothingface. By playing with these bands shun was able to develop their name throughout the Southeast. Releasing a locally recorded demo in December of 1998 they sold over 1200 copies and have been on several college stations and the local buzz 102.9. Shun has set out to be the next wave of long lasting music with a sound completely original yet familiar and with an intelligence level strong enough to capture both young and old. Shun will be pressing their new style until dreams and destiny are accomplished.
Shun has released 2 CDs. An EP entitled Promising (2000) and a full-length titled Michael In Reign (2001)

There are multiple groups named Shun, but one belongs to the legendary Japanese electronic mastermind Susumu Hirasawa. Hirasawa's group made experimental electronic music during the 80's similar in vibe to Susumu's other work, but with a more hypnotic compositional style.
Second Voice
Shun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(chorus)
It's all about you. This book about you.
The room gets cold.... I start breathing slow. I hear a second voice. It's not my own.
It's evil what he did to you. All things he put you through. Everything that made you hurt. I'm sorry that he slit your world, and left you dying on the floor. If only......If only I were there.
(chorus)
Did you hear that? The second voice is coming back. It wasn't yours. The second voice is coming back. There it was. The second voice has spoken again. Don't look back. Just turn and run!!!
The lyrics of Second Voice by Shun paint a haunting and eerie picture of a dark room and a diary that holds secrets about the singer's journey. The key to the door in the back room represents a new path that the singer and their companion have never explored before. The singer takes the lead and discovers a diary lying on the floor, which they open slowly and read. The diary reveals a story about someone close to them who has gone through painful experiences caused by another person. The singer realizes that they could have done something to prevent the distressful fate of their loved one if only they had been there.
The chorus, "It's all about you. This book about you," highlights the subject matter of the diary and the importance of the person it is written about. The second verse introduces a new layer to the story, as the singer hears a second voice that is not their own. The voice talks about the terrible things done to their loved one and how sorry they are that they couldn't be there to help. The voice is a representation of the singer's conscience, which is now speaking out to them. The second voice is a warning that comes back, asking the singer to flee and not look back.
Overall, the song speaks to our guilt and regret about things we could have done to help those we love. The haunting music and the eerie tone of the lyrics amplify the profound sadness and regret of the singer. The song also highlights the importance of being present for our loved ones and standing up for them when they need us the most.

It’s so sad I can’t find anything about the band. Yeah we can be selfish sometimes wishing to keep our favourites to ourselves but this! I mean I would love to share it cause they are great and deserve recognition but they seemed to be just vanished. Please let me know if i missed something?
