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.
Sell Them Dreams
Shun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Entry. meaningless but hoping to heal my soiled wings. it's just another fight that is killing me. it's just another weight that is drowning me and i choose to make it my own.
(chorus)
So cover me. we'll sell them dreams.
Memory. distant words adhere. we cant wait here alone. tension, im fed. you come, pushing it to me. i've paid it. i will pay no more.
(chorus)
You betrayed me when you said maybe. maybe was your last word. you betrayed me when you said maybe. but "maybe" lost its power ten times ago. and i'm full!!
(chorus)
It's just a reason. why do you lock me into here? i'm out of season. it's just the way that you see it.... you erased it!!! you erased it!!! it's gone.
The song Sell Them Dreams is a melancholic and introspective piece that deals with themes of betrayal, aging, and disillusionment. The first verse sees the singer lamenting their current state of fear and insecurity, caused by the passing of time and the realization that they are no longer young. They express a desire to escape these feelings and the burden of their own mortality, suggesting that they feel trapped and unable to move on from this stage in their life. However, the chorus brings a sense of catharsis, as they resolve to sell "them dreams" - perhaps as a way of distracting themselves from their own fears, or as a means of achieving financial success and independence.
The second verse introduces a sense of conflict, as the singer recalls a past betrayal and expresses their frustration and anger towards the person in question. There is a feeling of abandonment and isolation throughout this verse, as the singer suggests that they have been left to deal with the aftermath of this betrayal alone. However, the final lines of the verse suggest that they are determined to move on and leave this experience behind them. The final bridge sees the singer questioning why they have been "locked" into this situation and feeling as though they are "out of season". They express a sense of confusion and disbelief that they have been left to deal with this alone, before concluding with the repeated refrain of "you erased it!!! it's gone" - suggesting that they are ready to move on and leave the past behind them for good.

I cling onto past experiences, but I can't continue waiting alone. The pressure is overwhelming, and you keep adding to it. I've already endured enough, and I refuse to endure more.
You betrayed me when you said maybe. maybe was your last word. you betrayed me when you said maybe. but "maybe" lost its power ten times ago. and i'm full!!
Your uncertainty caused me harm when you said 'maybe,' and you've done it multiple times. 'Maybe' no longer holds any weight in your words, and I'm at my limit.
It's just a reason. why do you lock me into here? i'm out of season. it's just the way that you see it.... you erased it!!! you erased it!!! it's gone.
You've confined me for no substantial reason, and I don't fit into the current situation. It's solely due to your perspective that I'm stuck in this position, and you've erased any chance of it changing.
