Adelheide’s Wisdom – These Scars Don't Bleed is a monumental  rock opera, weaving together progressive metal, folk, and symphonic rock into a narrative mirroring the novel’s generational saga.

A descent into darkness with epic metal ballads (Carry On) and gothic despair (Maybe Hell’s Not Fire), anchored by Adelheide’s contralto (reminiscent of Anette Olzon meets Chelsea Wolfe). Her voice embodies wartime grief, while André’s baritone (channeling Mikael Åkerfeldt’s versatility) shifts between growls and cleans for psychological depth.

 bridge of Hard Rock (Some Roads Lead to Heaven...) and Celtic Metal (This Is Where My Roots Run Deep), where instruments like Hammond organ and 12-string guitar clash and reconcile, mirroring postwar identity struggles.

Thematic Core: Nature’s healing (river motifs), intergenerational echoes (letters, photographs), and the alchemy of scars into wisdom.

For fans of: Opeth’s storytelling, Nightwish’s grandeur, and SubRosa’s raw emotion.

These Scars Don't Bleed

This remastered album is the musical journey accompanying the harrowing events of Book 3 of "Hinter uns das Land" ("Behind Us The Land"), a poignant novel by Frank Talmon l'Armée. As the war closes in, the Feyerabend family, along with countless others, is forced to make the heart-wrenching decision to flee their beloved home in East Prussia. This collection of 16 tracks captures the emotional turmoil and the perilous journey that unfolds, painting a vivid sonic picture of a family caught in the midst of historical upheaval.

Book 3 plunges the listener into the chaos and fear of the final days of the war in East Prussia. The once-familiar streets of Danzig (now Gdańsk) become a haunting labyrinth of desperation and uncertainty as Inge and her family navigate the treacherous path to the harbor. The music reflects the growing tension, the ever-present threat, and the agonizing choices forced upon those seeking refuge. You will sense in the music the desperation of many refugees, but also their determination to survive.

The journey culminates in the boarding of the "Lappland," a vessel overflowing with refugees, all carrying their own stories of loss and hope. As the ship embarks across the vast and unforgiving Baltic Sea, the music evokes the vastness of the ocean, the precariousness of their situation, and the uncertain future that awaits them. You can hear in the sounds the inner turmoil of the characters: the children who do not yet fully comprehend what is happening and the adults who try to hold on to hope in the face of unimaginable fear.

From haunting melodies that echo the emptiness of a lost home to surging orchestrations that mirror the turbulent sea, this soundtrack captures the full spectrum of human emotion in times of war. Moments of quiet reflection are interspersed with powerful, driving rhythms, reflecting the resilience and determination of those who refuse to give up hope, although they know their lives will never be the same.

This musical collection offers a unique and immersive experience, drawing the listener deeper into the world of "Hinter uns das Land." It's a testament to the enduring power of family, the unwavering human spirit, and the search for peace amidst the ravages of war.

"Hinter uns das Land" / "Behind Us The Land" - Music from Book 5: (Part 2) A New Beginning

Book 5 of "Hinter uns das Land" / "Behind Us The Land" opens a new chapter: The horrors of war lie behind the protagonists, but the scars run deep. This music collection accompanies the Feyerabend family in the post-war era, a time of rebuilding, hope, and slow healing.

The music of Book 5 is an eclectic mix of styles and eras, reflecting the complexity of starting anew. German Schlager hits of the 1950s and nostalgic chansons evoke memories of the past and a rediscovered joy of life. Acoustic sounds, folk, and jazz symbolize the search for security and a new normal. Brit Pop, Swing, and Rock'n'Roll represent the dawn of a new era, while Indie Pop, Chamber Pop, and even a wedding march musically underscore the hope and the gradual blossoming of new dreams. But the shadows of the past are still present, captured in melancholic ballads, a sad piano piece, psychedelic folk, spiritual hip-hop, and powerful post-rock. Even punk rock finds its place, expressing the regained freedom and zest for life.

This music is a sonic tapestry of the post-war era, a tribute to the will to survive, the importance of family, and the strength of the human spirit. It captures the ambivalence of this epoch: The burden of memory and the simultaneous spirit of optimism, the grief for what was lost and the hope for a new beginning.

Music: A musical journey through time from the 50s to the present day with elements of German Schlager, Chanson, Folk, Jazz, Brit Pop, Swing, Rock'n'Roll, Indie Pop, Chamber Pop, Post-Rock, Punk Rock, and more.

"Hinter uns das Land" - Musik zu Buch 5 (Part 2): Aufbruch in eine neue Zeit

Buch 5 von "Hinter uns das Land" schlägt ein neues Kapitel auf: Die Schrecken des Krieges liegen hinter den Protagonisten, doch die Narben sind tief. Diese Musiksammlung begleitet die Familie Feyerabend in der Nachkriegszeit, einer Zeit des Wiederaufbaus, der Hoffnung und des langsamen Heilens.

Die Musik zu Buch 5 ist eine eklektische Mischung aus Stilen und Epochen, die die Vielschichtigkeit des Neubeginns widerspiegelt. Schlager der 50er Jahre und nostalgische Chansons erinnern an die Vergangenheit und die wiedergefundene Lebensfreude. Akustische Klänge, Folk und Jazz symbolisieren die Suche nach Geborgenheit und einer neuen Normalität. Brit Pop, Swing, und Rock'n'Roll stehen für den Aufbruch in eine neue Zeit, während Indie Pop, Chamber Pop und sogar ein Hochzeitsmarsch die Hoffnung und das langsame Erblühen neuer Träume musikalisch untermalen. Aber auch die Schatten der Vergangenheit sind noch präsent, eingefangen in melancholischen Balladen, einem traurigen Klavierstück, psychedelischem Folk, spirituellem Hip-Hop, und kraftvollem Post-Rock. Sogar Punkrock findet seinen Platz, um die wiedergewonnene Freiheit und Lebensfreude auszudrücken.

Diese Musik ist ein Klanggemälde der Nachkriegszeit, eine Hommage an den Überlebenswillen, den familiären Zusammenhalt und die Kraft der menschlichen Seele. Sie fängt die Ambivalenz dieser Epoche ein: Die Last der Erinnerung und die gleichzeitige Aufbruchstimmung, die Trauer um das Verlorene und die Hoffnung auf einen Neuanfang.

Musik: Eine musikalische Zeitreise von den 50er Jahren bis in die Gegenwart mit Elementen von Schlager, Chanson, Folk, Jazz, Brit Pop, Swing, Rock'n'Roll, Indie Pop, Chamber Pop, Post-Rock, Punk Rock und mehr.

[Verse 1]
In the chill of night, shadows cradle fears,
Ulla's voice is trembling, drowned by silent tears.
“Frost has stolen my breath,” she softly cries,
A haunting echo lingers, as hope slowly dies.

[Chorus]
Oh, Ulla, I see you fading away,
Beneath the weight of the words they say.
In this world so cold, we search for light,
Holding on to memories, throughout the night.

[Verse 2]
In the quiet room, as the candle flickers low,
Martha's hands are steady, they search for warmth to grow.
Elfriede stands near, fear wrapped in her gaze,
Wondering if kindness can break through the haze.

[Chorus]
Oh, Ulla, I see you fading away,
Beneath the weight of the words they say.
In this world so cold, we search for light,
Holding on to memories, throughout the night.

[Bridge]
Once vibrant laughter, now a distant tone,
Four sisters lost, in a world unknown.
The burdens they carry, unseen and unkind,
But together they rise, with love intertwined.

[Verse 3]
A diagnosis chilling, like winter's cruel breath,
laryngeal cancer, the shadows of death.
With each gentle whisper, I hold you near,
Inge reads the stories, soothing every fear.

[Chorus]
Oh, Ulla, I see you fading away,
Beneath the weight of the words they say.
In this world so cold, we search for light,
Holding on to memories, throughout the night.

[Outro]
And when the stars fade, in silent despair,
I’ll fight for your spirit, I’ll be everywhere.
For in the whispers left behind, your light remains,
A guiding star in the darkest pains.

07 - Oh, Ulla (LANDR remastered)

April 1945: The first days of exile in Denmark. This song captures the limbo between memory and uncertainty – whispers of a lost homeland carried by fragile piano and ghostly hip-hop rhythms.

Taken from the prologue of book four of Hinter uns das Land (Frank Talmon l'Armée), where war-scarred refugees stand on foreign soil, clutching fragments of their past. The snow has stopped falling, but the cold remains.

A prelude to the Versions of Exile EP – musical echoes of displacement.

--- 

April 1945: Die ersten Tage im dänischen Exil. Dieser Song fängt die Schwebe zwischen Erinnerung und Ungewissheit ein – geflüsterte Fragmente der Heimat, getragen von zerbrechlichem Klavier und gespenstischen HipHop-Rhythmen.

Entstanden aus dem Prolog des Buchs vier von Hinter uns das Land, wo kriegsversehrte Flüchtlinge auf fremdem Boden stehen, die Trümmer ihrer Vergangenheit in Händen. Der Schnee fällt nicht mehr, aber die Kälte bleibt.

Vorgeschmack auf die EP Versionen des Exils – musikalische Echos der Entwurzelung.

Silent Shores, Foreign Sands

Single: "Let Us Survive This" – Rap Variation (Hinter uns das Land / Behind Us The Land)

Dark Industrial Trap Rap Version

This rap distills the novel’s most brutal chapter – the 1945 flight across the frozen Vistula Lagoon – into a suffocating audio nightmare. Glitching 808s mimic cracking ice, while sparse piano strikes echo like distant artillery. Inge Feyerabend’s whispered pleas ("Wir dürfen nicht aufgeben") dissolve into machine-gun hi-hats.

Why It Stands Apart:

Where other war raps scream, "Let Us Survive This" freezes. The beat’s hollow spaces force you to hear what’s unsaid: the crunch of charred bones underfoot, the muffled sobs of children. The chorus ("Sun glares on the snow / war’s breath, cold as stone") isn’t sung – it’s exhaled like a dying breath.

---

Single: "Let Us Survive This" – Rap-Variation (Hinter uns das Land)

Dark Industrial Trap Rap Version

Diese Rap-Adaption übersetzt die Flucht über das Haff (Januar 1945) in ein beklemmendes Hörbild. Zerberstende 808-Bässe = brechendes Eis, verzerrte Frauenstimmen = letzte Funken Menschlichkeit. Inge Feyerabends Worte ("Ich will leben") werden vom Beat verschluckt – als stolpere sie durch den Schnee.

Warum sie heraussticht:

Während andere Kriegs-Raps explodieren, erfriert dieser. Die Pausen zwischen den Beats sind so kalt wie das Haff selbst. Der Refrain ("Hinter uns das Land / vor uns die Nacht") wirkt nicht wie ein Rap, sondern wie ein Fundstück aus einem Massengrab.


Let Us Survive This

watch the video here : https://vimeo.com/1076474289

TRACK: "Run Through the Fire, Climb Over the Dead"

A sonic war relic from the novel "Behind Us the Land" – fusing post-industrial brutality with raw rap storytelling to score the Feyerabend family's 1945 escape.

Sound:

Bass as Trauma Pulse: Switches between 808-like dread and metallic shrieks (like Stuka sirens)

Drums as Death March: Snare hits mimic MG42 bursts, kicks echo refugee footsteps

Rap DNA: Half-sung verses morph into typical Rap flows (think Clipping. meets Protomartyr)

Archaeological Sounds: Authentic WWII bomb impacts, Danzig's cobblestones cracking

"Post-rock's despair meets rap's urgency – my mother's diaries ('...and then the guns fell silent') spat back as survival rhymes over collapsing basslines."

For fans of:

The Body's bass-driven doom with Billy Woods' historical lyricism

Godspeed You! Black Emperor scoring a war documentary

Music that doesn't entertain – it testifies

TRACK: "Run Through the Fire, Climb Over the Dead"

Ein klangliches Kriegsrelikt aus dem Roman "Hinter uns dem Land" – verschmilzt post-industrielle Wucht mit Rap-Erzählkraft zur Vertonung von Flucht 1945.

Sound:

Bass als Trauma-Puls: Pendelt zwischen 808-Drohnen und Stuka-Sirenen-Schreien

Schlagzeug als Todesmarsch: Snares wie MG42-Salven, Kicks wie Flüchtlingsschritte

Rap-Einfluss: Zeilen im typischen Rap-Stil (zwischen Audio88 und Author & Punisher)

Sound-Archäologie: Echte Bombeneinschläge, splitterndes Danziger Pflaster

"Post-Rock-Verzweiflung trifft Rap's Dringlichkeit – meine Mutter's Tagebücher ('...und dann schwiegen die Waffen') als Überlebens-Reime über kollabierenden Basslinien."

Für Fans von:

Swans mit der lyrischen Wucht von Haftbefehl

"Hinter uns das Land" / "Behind Us The Land" - Music from Book 6: Reflections (Conclusion of the Novel Soundtrack Series)

Book 6 of "Hinter uns das Land" / "Behind Us The Land" strikes a reflective chord. The music of this collection accompanies the protagonists on their path of introspection and retrospection. In these 8 songs, tranquil sounds and emotional melodies dominate, creating space for reflection and remembrance.

This album marks the conclusion of the primary soundtrack series accompanying the six books of the novel "Hinter uns das Land" / "Behind Us The Land".

The musical palette ranges from empathetic pop ballads and poignant piano ballads to gentle pop songs, singer-songwriter pieces, and neo-classical pieces, as well as indie pop and soundtrack elements. A grand musical finale also finds its place, bringing the emotions to a fitting close. Each track captures the mood of reflection in its own way, painting a musical picture of farewell, acceptance, and the finding of inner peace.

This music is a soundtrack of a life well-lived, a musical journey through memories and emotions. It invites the listener to pause, to join the protagonists on a journey into the past, and to feel the power of remembrance.

While this completes the core musical journey following the novel's narrative, Beyond & Before Music may explore specific historical moments or themes related to the era in future, standalone tracks. These might eventually find their way into newly arranged collections.

Music: A calm and emotional mix of pop ballads, piano ballads, pop songs, singer-songwriter, neo-classical, indie pop, soundtrack elements, and a musical finale.

"Hinter uns das Land" - Musik zu Buch 6: Reflexionen (Abschluss der Roman-Soundtrack-Reihe)

Buch 6 von "Hinter uns das Land" schlägt ein nachdenkliches Kapitel auf. Die Musik dieser Sammlung begleitet die Protagonisten auf ihrem Weg der inneren Einkehr und des Rückblicks. In diesen 8 Songs dominieren ruhige Klänge und emotionale Melodien, die Raum zum Reflektieren und Erinnern lassen.

Dieses Album bildet den Abschluss der primären Soundtrack-Reihe, die die sechs Bücher des Romans "Hinter uns das Land" musikalisch begleitet.

Die musikalische Palette reicht von einfühlsamen Pop-Balladen und ergreifenden Piano-Balladen über sanfte Pop-Songs, Singer-Songwriter-Stücke und neo-klassische Klänge bis hin zu Indie-Pop und Soundtrack-Elementen. Sogar ein großes Musical-Finale findet seinen Platz, um den Emotionen einen würdigen Abschluss zu verleihen. Jedes Stück fängt die Stimmung der Reflexion auf seine eigene Weise ein und zeichnet ein musikalisches Bild von Abschied, Akzeptanz und dem Finden von innerem Frieden.

Diese Musik ist ein Klang gewordener Rückblick auf ein bewegtes Leben, eine musikalische Reise durch Erinnerungen und Emotionen. Sie lädt den Hörer ein, innezuhalten, sich mit den Protagonisten auf eine Reise in die Vergangenheit zu begeben und die Kraft der Erinnerung zu spüren.

Obwohl damit die musikalische Kernreise entlang der Romanhandlung abgeschlossen ist, wird Beyond & Before Music möglicherweise zukünftig einzelne, spezifische historische Momente oder Themen aus dieser Zeit in eigenständigen Songs aufgreifen. Diese könnten zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt eventuell in neu arrangierte Sammlungen integriert werden.

Musik: Eine ruhige und emotionale Mischung aus Pop-Balladen, Piano-Balladen, Pop-Songs, Singer-Songwriter, Neo-Klassik, Indie-Pop, Soundtrack-Elementen und einem Musical-Finale.

Dive into the compelling narrative of "So Here On Hela," a powerful track directly inspired by Frank Talmon l'Armée's poignant novel, Hinter uns das Land. This song evokes the chilling atmosphere and profound uncertainty experienced by refugees on the Hela coast. Having narrowly escaped the atrocities of Stutthof, they now face an agonizing wait for passage. This piece explores their emotional struggle, a poignant dance between the glimmer of hope for a new beginning and the deep-seated fear of what lies ahead. Available in four distinct arrangements—Musical, Film Score, Alternative Rock, and Experimental—each version offers a unique lens into their inner turmoil.

Tauchen Sie ein in die fesselnde Erzählung von "So Here On Hela," einem eindringlichen Stück, das direkt von Frank Talmon l'Armées bewegendem Roman Hinter uns das Land inspiriert wurde. Dieses Werk fängt die beklemmende Atmosphäre und tiefe Ungewissheit ein, die Flüchtlinge an der Küste von Hela erleben. Nachdem sie den Gräueln von Stutthof nur knapp entkommen konnten, stehen sie nun vor einer quälenden Wartezeit auf die Überfahrt. Dieses Stück erforscht ihren emotionalen Kampf, einen ergreifenden Tanz zwischen dem Schimmer der Hoffnung auf einen Neuanfang und der tief sitzenden Angst vor dem Ungewissen. Erhältlich in vier verschiedenen Arrangements – Musical, Filmmusik, Alternative Rock und Experimental – bietet jede Version eine einzigartige Perspektive auf ihre innere Zerrissenheit.

EP: "Strength In You" - Beyond & Before Music feat. Ulla F.

Discover "Strength In You," a new EP by Beyond & Before Music celebrating the unbreakable power of the human spirit! Inspired by the overarching themes of the novel "Hinter uns das Land" / "Behind Us The Land" but with a universal message, this collection features four songs that tell stories of resilience, hope, and growing through adversity.

With the track "Scars Made Me Stronger" at its core, the EP explores, in catchy Indie Pop and Pop styles, how we can learn from setbacks and find inner strength. The music is light, hopeful, and invites you to sing along, carried by clear melodies and positive vibes, symbolically represented by the spirit of "Ulla F."

These songs are meant to encourage and remind us that even after dark times, light always awaits, and that life's scars ultimately make us stronger.

Scars Made Me Stronger

Strength In You

Knowing Even Good Times, Sometimes Have To End

"Carry On" - From the "Hinter uns das Land" / "Behind Us The Land" Project

This is "Carry On," an epic metal rock ballad (5:57 min) by Beyond & Before Music, inspired by the novel "Hinter uns das Land" ("Behind Us The Land") by Frank Talmon l'Armée.

Imagine a conceptual band, "Adelheid's Wisdom," performing this track: A powerful, emotional male lead vocal tells a story of overcoming adversity, of stumbling and rising again. He's supported by haunting, mystical female and male vocals and an epic soundscape blending the intimacy of piano and cello with the power of distorted guitars, driving drums, and orchestral elements.

The song features dynamic shifts, a spoken word interlude with thunderous undertones, a soaring guitar solo (melodic building to a shred), and a massive final chorus. It's a song about the scars that make us stronger, the battles within, and the unbreakable spirit that carries us on, together.

This track is a deep dive into themes of resilience, inner strength, and the hope that endures even in the darkest of times.

"Carry On" (Complete Epic Rock Ballad Lyrics)

[MYSTIC INTRO – André] 
There’s a road where shadows whisper...
Where the lost and lonely gather...
Every scar a buried secret...
Every step... a choice to matter...

[VERSE 1 -André] 
The road of life, a winding, rugged track,
Sometimes a gentle slope, sometimes no turning back.
You see the storm clouds gather, feel the chilling breeze,
And stumble over stones that bring you to your knees.
A heart can shatter... 
(Echo - Elfriede) shatter...
Like fragile, fallen glass...
(Echo - Elfriede) glass… 
Hopes can dim and falter...
Watch the moments... pass... 

[PRE-CHORUS 1 - Adelheide] 
But in that silence, when you’re standing all alone...
You hear a whisper... 
a voice you’ve always known...
A spark to light the darkness...
To re-ignite... the flame... 

[CHORUS 1 – André] 
WE CARRY ON! WE CARRY ON! Together! Side by side!
Through the deepest valleys! Across the raging tide!
Every scar... a lesson! 
Every tear... a sign!
This unbreakable spirit...
(Adelheide) Yours... and... mine!

[VERSE 2 - Adelheide] 
You might have built your fortress... upon the shifting sand...
Watched it wash away... 
(Echo) away...
By forces... you can’t command...
(André) The echoes of a promise... 
A dream you held... so tight...
Fades into the shadows...
Of an endless... lonely night...

[MYSTIC INTERLUDE 2 - André] 
The storm you fear... is already inside...
(Adelheide and André) It carved your courage... from the mountain of pride...

(Adelheide) 
The chains that bind you... are forged by your hand...
Now strike the anvil... and reshape... the land...

[INTRO – REPRISE – André and Adelheide in the back]

There’s a road where shadows whisper...
Where the lost and lonely gather...
Every scar a buried secret...
Every step... a choice to matter...

[BRIDGE] (Full Band But Adelheide Lead)
Oh, the world will test you...
(Echo:) test you...
Try to break your will...
(Echo) break...
Push you to the limits...
Stand you on that hill!

[[FINAL CHORUS - André]
WE CARRY ON! WE CARRY ON! WE CARRY ON! TOGETHER! WE ARE STRONG!
This is where we rise!
(André and Adelheide) THIS IS WHERE... WE BELOOOOONG! (Hold note)

[OUTRO – Adelheide and André] 
The road still winds... (Breathy)
But now we walk it...
Together...

"Where My Roots Run Deep" - An Epic Journey (7:23 min)

From Beyond & Before Music, inspired by the novel "Hinter uns das Land" / "Behind Us The Land" by Frank Talmon l'Armée, comes "Where My Roots Run Deep" – an extended epic rock ballad that musically traverses a lifetime of experience.

This track blends the emotional depth of a rock ballad with elements of progressive rock, metal and mystic folk. The powerful, emotional lead vocals of André guide through the narrative verses, which speak of life's challenges and the search for truth. He is joined by the mystical, often whispered or ethereally sung voice of Adelheide, who imparts profound, almost philosophical insights in intros, interludes, and as a harmonic complement in the choruses.

Soaring choruses, backed by a full band and choir effects, declare the enduring power of one's origins: "THIS IS WHERE MY ROOTS RUN DEEP!" The musical journey includes a three-part instrumental solo. A primal bridge leads to a climactic triple finale and acoustic coda brings the epic to a close.

"Where My Roots Run Deep" is a meditation on identity, resilience, the search for belonging, and the unbreakable connection to one's history, even when facing loss and upheaval. It's a song about how our deepest roots, though unseen, give us the strength to endure and ultimately define who we are.

"The Anchor in the Gale" - An Epic 90s Metal Rock Ballad

From Beyond & Before Music, this is "The Anchor in the Gale" – an epic, nearly 8-minute 90s-style Metal Rock Ballad that takes the listener on a profound emotional journey.

While inspired by the overarching themes of the novel "Hinter uns das Land" / "Behind Us The Land", this song tells a universal story. It's about feeling lost in the storms of life, searching for a truth that won't fail, and grappling with the ghosts of the past. It's a journey from inner turmoil to the final realization that the true anchor lies within oneself.

Musically, the song builds from a haunting piano intro, led by the emotional baritone vocals of André, to powerful, full-band choruses with soaring guitars and choir effects. The narrative is deepened by the mystical, whispered voice of Adelheide, who acts as a guide. The track features an extended, melodic guitar solo and culminates in a massive, orchestral finale, reflecting the journey from despair to triumphant self-realization.

This is a song about resilience, inner strength, and the hope that can be found even after the greatest losses.

"The Anchor in the Gale" - Eine epische 90s Metal Rock Ballade

Von Beyond & Before Music kommt "The Anchor in the Gale" – eine epische, fast 8-minütige Metal-Rock-Ballade im Stil der 90er Jahre, die den Hörer auf eine tiefgründige emotionale Reise mitnimmt.

Obwohl von den übergeordneten Themen des Romans "Hinter uns das Land" inspiriert, erzählt dieser Song eine universelle Geschichte. Es geht darum, sich im Sturm des Lebens verloren zu fühlen, nach einer unumstößlichen Wahrheit zu suchen und mit den Geistern der Vergangenheit zu ringen. Es ist eine Reise vom inneren Aufruhr bis zur finalen Erkenntnis, dass der wahre Anker in einem selbst liegt.

Musikalisch baut sich der Song von einem ergreifenden Intro aus Klavier, geführt von der emotionalen Baritonstimme von André, zu kraftvollen Refrains mit voller Band, hymnischen Gitarren und Choreffekten auf. Die Erzählung wird durch die mystische, geflüsterte Stimme von Adelheide vertieft, die als eine Art Führerin fungiert. Das Stück beinhaltet ein ausgedehntes, melodisches Gitarrensolo und gipfelt in einem gewaltigen, orchestralen Finale, das die Reise von der Verzweiflung zur triumphalen Selbsterkenntnis widerspiegelt.

Dies ist ein Lied über Resilienz, innere Stärke und die Hoffnung, die auch nach den größten Verlusten gefunden werden kann.

"Some Roads Lead To Heaven - Some Just Disappear West"

From Beyond & Before Music featuring Adelheid's Wisdom, this is an epic rock ballad for everyone who carries the ghosts of their past. We believe this is a song that everyone can identify with, as it deals with the universal experiences that have shaped all of our lives.

Inspired by the narrative style of classic rock epics, this 6+ minute track tells three stories many of us know all too well: the childhood friend who vanished over time, the magical place of our youth that was erased, and the fateful encounter that changed a life forever. These are the moments of loss that make us who we are.

With this song, we believe we have crafted one of the most emotional and powerful rock ballads of the last 20 years. It’s a journey through nostalgia, heartbreak, and the incredible resilience it takes to carry on.

While inspired by the overarching themes of the novel "Hinter uns das Land" / "Behind Us The Land," this song speaks a universal language.

"Some Roads Lead To Heaven - Some Just Disappear West"

Von Beyond & Before Music featuring Adelheid's Wisdom kommt eine epische Rockballade für jeden, der die Geister seiner Vergangenheit mit sich trägt. Ein Song, mit dem sich vermutlich jeder identifizieren kann, denn er handelt von den universellen Erfahrungen, die unser Leben prägen.

Inspiriert vom erzählerischen Stil klassischer Rock-Epen, erzählt dieser über 6-minütige Track drei Geschichten, die viele von uns kennen: die Kindheitsfreundschaft, die in der Zeit verloren ging; der magische Ort der Jugend, der verschwunden ist; und die schicksalhafte Begegnung, die ein Leben für immer verändert hat. Es sind die Momente des Verlusts, die uns zu dem machen, was wir sind.

Wir haben uns zum Ziel gesetzt, eine der emotionalsten und kraftvollsten Rockballaden der letzten 20 Jahre zu schaffen. Ein musikalisches Epos über Erinnerung, Herzschmerz und die unglaubliche Resilienz, die es braucht, um weiterzumachen.

Obwohl von den übergeordneten Themen des Romans "Hinter uns das Land" inspiriert, spricht dieser Song eine universelle Sprache.

"Maybe Hell's Not Fire" (Unplugged Ballad) - performed by Adelheide's Wisdom

Eine neue, gefühlvolle Interpretation aus dem "Hinter uns das Land"-Universum: Adelheide's Wisdom, die konzeptuelle Band von Beyond & Before Music, präsentiert "Maybe Hell's Not Fire" als intime Unplugged-Ballade. Diese Version reduziert den Song auf seinen emotionalen Kern und erzählt eine universelle Geschichte von Erinnerung, Verlust und der leisen Hoffnung, die in der Dunkelheit schimmert.

Getragen von einer einprägsamen, fingergezupften Akustikgitarre und einer sehnsüchtigen Mundharmonika, entfaltet sich der poetische Text mit einer besonderen Intensität. Das Schlagzeug wird nur sehr dezent eingesetzt und lässt Raum für die Stimme und die melancholische Melodie.

Ein Song, der unter die Haut geht und auf die Suche nach den verlorenen "Glühwürmchen" des Lebens mitnimmt – ein garantierter Gänsehauteffekt.

lyrics:

Your voice still hums in the upstairs room –
A dusty Metallica tape on play...
The ribbon bled through every tune...
Now the silence screams...
Your name.

I count the cracks in every wall,
Where our heights in blood were scrawled...
The house forgets...
But the shadows...
Still crawl.

I'm forging the sparks...
To burn their lies to flame!
What the storm stole in whispers...
I scream...
In chains!

And though the road still reeks of pain...
I'll walk it...
Anyway!

The oak tree swings with a noose so tight,
Its roots are snakes in the cellar light...
They told me "cut it down"...
I whispered "try"...
Now the axe rusts...
Underground.

"Maybe hell's not fire...
Just a room where ghosts
Rewrite your story...
In charcoal...
And smoke..."

I'm forging the sparks...
To light your face anew!
What the wind couldn't carry...
The dead...
Remember you!

And when the sirens sing my name...
I'll laugh...
And fade...
Away.

Maybe Hell's Not Fire

lyrics:

Intro:
Hush now, don’t you cry...
The monsters love...
When you try...

Verse 1:
I polish the silver to hide the cracks,
While the china dolls stare from the shelf.
Their porcelain smiles never warned me –
That sanity hangs...
By a thread...
Of its own.

Pre-Chorus:
The wallpaper peels...
In the shape of your laugh –
And the clocks all run...
Backwards.

Chorus:
THESE SCARS DON’T BLEED –
They breathe through the night!
Every "I’m fine" just feeds the lie –
While the cracks...
Multiply.

Verse 2:
The mailman brings bills, never ghosts –
But the hallway still echoes...
Your last...
Goodbye.

Bridge:
We’re all just ghosts...
Feeding ghosts...
In a house...
Built on silence...

Final Chorus:
THESE SCARS DON’T HEAL –
They sing in the dark!
Every "I’ve moved on" just draws the map...
Of where the knives...
Still are.

Dive into the haunting depths of "The Key to Nowhere" — a symphonic metal-rock ballad where raw guitar grit clashes with ghostly folk whispers.

What if the heaviest thing you carry fits no lock? A song about relics we cling to — letters, lies, lost homes — and the courage to let rust set us free.

What if the key you cherish opens only graves? A hymn to the boxes inside us – where faded keys, unspoken words, and loves that "wouldn’t matter" wait.

Tauche ein in die gespenstischen Tiefen von "The Key to Nowhere" – eine symphonische Metal-Rock-Ballade, in der roher Gitarren-Grit auf geisterhafte Folk-Flüstern trifft.

Was, wenn das Schwerste, das du trägst, in kein Schloss passt? Ein Song über Relikte, an die wir klammern – Briefe, Lügen, verlorene Heimat – und den Mut, Rost uns befreien zu lassen.

Was, wenn der Schlüssel, den du liebst, nur Gräber öffnet? Eine Hymne an die Kisten in uns – wo verblasste Schlüssel, ungesagte Worte und Lieben, die "nichts bedeuteten", warten.

lyrics:

This key to nowhere....
it opens every grave...

I sit in front of a box of keys,
Collected from me through all the years.
Some I don’t know how to use,
Some open doors...
But in the middle of the box,
There is a faded key...

This key was forged in a fire long cold,
Its teeth bite deep but fit no hole.
I wear its weight like a crown of rust –
A kingdom of dust...
A kingdom of dust...

The locksmith laughed when I begged for a map,
Said ‘Some doors, child, are meant to stay snapped.’
But I carved my own...
With a thief’s trembling hands...
Now the frame won’t hold...
And the hinges demand...

The messenger brings no answers now,
Just echoes of winds...
And the whispers of vows...
That once swore...
To never...
Let go...

THIS KEY TO NOWHERE –
IT OPENS EVERY GRAVE!
Every chain I kiss for luck...
Just drags the lock...
Through the muck...
Of the past I couldn’t shatter...
The love that wouldn’t...
Matter...

The halls are lined with the words I’ve left unsaid,
Each one a ghost that haunts my head.
I trace their shapes in the gathering dark,
But the light won’t spark...
The light won’t spark...

THIS KEY TO NOWHERE –
IT OPENS EVERY GRAVE!
Every chain I kiss for luck...
Just drags the lock...
Through the muck...
Of the past I couldn’t shatter...
The love that wouldn’t...
Matter...

I built a shrine where the key won’t turn,
Filled it with ghosts and watched them burn.
The ashes spelled...
‘You’re already free.’
But freedom’s just...
Another...
Prison...
For me...

I sit in front of a box of keys,
Collected from me through all the years.
Some I don’t know how to use,
Some open doors...
But in the middle of the box,
There is a faded key...

This Key To Nowhere

An 8-minute epic about the fragments of memory. "Half a Smile Left" is a centerpiece from the concept album "Adelheide's Wisdom."

Inspired by the image of a burnt group photograph, the song explores the bittersweet tragedy of an incomplete past—a half-smile that is both a precious treasure and an open wound.

Musically, the song is a unique fusion: a powerful rock ballad whose fragile verses evoke a baroque minuet. Delicate, harpsichord-like guitar melodies, an oboe, and strings meet a massive, emotional chorus and a dramatic climax that pushes genre boundaries.

A monumental soundscape that tells a story of loss, defiance, and the indestructible power of what remains in the heart. A song destined to conjure a sea of glowing lighters and cell phones at a live concert.

---

Ein 8-minütiges Epos über die Fragmente der Erinnerung. "Half a Smile Left" ist ein zentraler Song aus dem Konzeptalbum "Adelheide's Wisdom".

Inspiriert vom Bild eines verbrannten Gruppenfotos, erkundet der Song die bittersüße Tragik einer unvollständigen Vergangenheit – ein halbes Lächeln, das zugleich ein kostbarer Schatz und eine offene Wunde ist.

Musikalisch ist der Song eine einzigartige Fusion: eine kraftvolle Rockballade, deren zerbrechliche Strophen an ein barockes Menuett erinnern. Zarte, cembalo-ähnliche Gitarrenmelodien, eine Oboe und Streicher treffen auf einen wuchtigen, emotionalen Refrain und einen dramatischen Ausbruch, der die Grenzen des Genres sprengt.

Ein monumentales Klanggemälde, das von Verlust, Trotz und der unzerstörbaren Kraft dessen erzählt, was im Herzen bleibt. Ein Song, der live ein Meer aus leuchtenden Feuerzeugen und Handys heraufbeschwören würde.

Half A Smile Left -  extended Version

Title: From The Broken Stone - A Progressive Rock Suite

Take your time. Take a deep breath. What awaits you is not just a song, but a 20-minute musical journey—an epic in four acts about the indestructible human spirit.

"From The Broken Stone" tells the story of a legacy that was never planned, but born from the cracks of the past. It begins with a whispered nightmare, journeys through a cinematic rock ballad filled with pain and hope, culminates in a cathartic instrumental storm, and finally finds peace in a reconciliatory, orchestral epilogue. It is a narrative of how the deepest wounds can become windows, and how new hope can grow from the rubble of a life.

This work would not have been possible without the pioneers of epic, narrative rock. It is a deep and respectful homage to the musical vision of bands like Deep Purple (for the soulful Hammond organ and explosive dynamics), Manfred Mann's Earth Band (for the sound-painting synthesizers and anthemic choruses), and Marillion (for the courage to tell complex, suite-like stories).

This epic does not attempt to copy them, but to honor their spirit: the spirit of a music that takes its time, that delves deep, and that takes the listener on a journey from which they return changed. We invite you to embark on this journey.

Titel: From The Broken Stone - A Progressive Rock Suite

Nehmen Sie sich Zeit. Atmen Sie tief durch. Was Sie hier erwartet, ist kein einfacher Song, sondern eine 20-minütige musikalische Reise – ein Epos in vier Akten über den unzerstörbaren menschlichen Geist.

"From The Broken Stone" ist die Geschichte eines Vermächtnisses, das nicht geplant, sondern aus den Rissen der Vergangenheit geboren wurde. Es beginnt mit einem geflüsterten Albtraum, durchquert eine cineastische Rockballade voller Schmerz und Hoffnung, gipfelt in einem kathartischen Instrumentalsturm und findet schließlich Frieden in einem versöhnlichen, orchestralen Epilog. Es ist eine Erzählung darüber, wie die tiefsten Wunden zu Fenstern werden können und wie aus dem Schutt des Lebens neue Hoffnung wächst.

Dieses Werk wäre nicht möglich gewesen ohne die Pioniere des epischen, erzählerischen Rocks. Es ist eine tiefe und respektvolle Hommage an die musikalische Weitsicht von Bands wie Deep Purple (für die seelenvolle Hammond-Orgel und die explosive Dynamik), Manfred Mann's Earth Band (für die klangmalerischen Synthesizer und die hymnenhaften Refrains) und Marillion (für den Mut, komplexe, suitenartige Geschichten zu erzählen).

Dieses Epos versucht nicht, sie zu kopieren, sondern ihren Geist zu ehren: Den Geist einer Musik, die sich Zeit nimmt, die in die Tiefe geht und die den Hörer auf eine Reise mitnimmt, von der er verändert zurückkehrt. Wir laden Sie ein, sich auf diese Reise einzulassen.

From the Broken Stone

This is a quiet, intimate piano ballad about the unexpected paths that life takes. It's about the acceptance that the life we live is often not the one we once planned—and that there is a unique and profound beauty in that deviation. The song explores the bittersweet wisdom found in hindsight, carried by a voice that is both fragile and resilient.

Musically and emotionally, this song is a deep and respectful homage to Joni Mitchell's masterpiece, "Both Sides, Now." It does not attempt to copy it, but to honor its spirit: the ability to express complex life truths in simple, poetic language. The raw, vulnerable performance is also inspired by the heartbreaking interpretation by Emilia Jones in the film "Coda."

A song for anyone who has learned to find the beauty in the scars of their own journey.

---

Dies ist eine leise, intime Piano-Ballade über die unerwarteten Wege, die das Leben nimmt. Es geht um die Akzeptanz, dass das Leben, das wir führen, oft nicht das ist, das wir einst geplant haben – und dass es in dieser Abweichung eine eigene, tiefe Schönheit gibt. Der Song erkundet die bittersüße Weisheit, die man im Rückblick findet, getragen von einer zerbrechlichen, aber standhaften Stimme.

Musikalisch und emotional ist dieser Song eine tiefe Verneigung vor Joni Mitchells Meisterwerk "Both Sides, Now". Er versucht nicht, es zu kopieren, sondern seinen Geist zu ehren: die Fähigkeit, komplexe Lebenswahrheiten in einfacher, poetischer Sprache auszudrücken. Die rohe, verletzliche Darbietung ist zudem inspiriert von der herzzerreißenden Interpretation durch Emilia Jones im Film "Coda".

Ein Song für alle, die gelernt haben, die Schönheit in den Narben des eigenen Lebensweges zu finden.

Lyrics:

Maps can be drawn to show a distant shore... 
And open books all promise something more.  
Lines on a page for a life to be led...  
A different garden in a different bed.  
That's how the plans for futures often look... 
Before the first page... ...of the real book.

But looking at your life from both sides now,  
From what was lost and what the fates allow...
It's life's illusions I see you recall...  
You never really knew... 
...your life at all.

Words can be shields to teach and to write,  
To turn fading darkness to brilliant light...  
A legacy built on a victory loud,  
Your echo trapped in a cheering crowd. 
That's how the plans for greatness often feel...  
Before the wounds... that time won't let conceal.

But looking at your life from both sides now,  
From give and take, and still somehow...  
It's life's illusions you cling to, standing tall...  
Did you ever know... your life at all?

The child you were...
...would never understand 
This broken soil in a foreign land.  
She'd only see the things you had to lose... 
The simple choice... you didn't get to choose.

But she could never see his hand in yours...  
A different sun that opens different doors.  
No, this was not the life...
But it was yours...   
...and it was... 
grand.

A Different Garden In A Different Bed

Adelheide's Wisdom - The Project & The Song
About the Project

Adelheide's Wisdom is more than a band—it is a musical saga. It is the sound of a story, a journey from a lost world into the heart of resilience.

This project is the official musical companion to the German historical novel "Hinter uns das Land" (The Land Behind Us) by Frank Talmon l'Armée. Based on the true autobiographical account of Inge Talmon l'Armée (1927-2006), the story follows a family's journey through the loss of their East Prussian homeland during World War II, their traumatic flight, and the arduous process of rebuilding a new life from the ruins of the old. The music translates universal themes of trauma, memory, inner strength, and the search for a new identity into a powerful sonic experience.

Our sound is a fusion of Epic Progressive Rock and Symphonic Metal, infused with elements of melancholic Folk and classical forms like the Pavane and Bolero. The music mirrors the narrative's arc, shifting from delicate, atmospheric passages to powerful, heavy riffs—a constant dialogue between a fragile past and a complex present. The members of Adelheide's Wisdom are virtual artists, their names and personalities drawn from the key characters of the novel, each bringing their unique part of the story to the music.

Featured Epic: "When the River Sings"

At the heart of our concept album lies the monumental 28-minute epic, "When the River Sings." This track is a multi-act symphonic journey that encapsulates the entire narrative arc of the project, exploring trauma, confrontation, and ultimate catharsis.

The song uses the metaphor of a river to tell the story of a refugee's soul. It begins with the arrival of a fragile protagonist (Adelheide) who sees only her painful past in the water's reflection, asking, "Will it heal me… or just drag me deeper?" The river (voiced by André) responds as a majestic yet menacing force, leading to a powerful confrontation. After a chaotic inner struggle, she finds strength not by defeating her pain, but by embracing it ("THE PAIN YOU INFLICTED IS NOW MY THRONE!"). In the triumphant finale, the river becomes a cleansing stream, leading to the profound realization: "I AM BOTH THE WRECK AND THE SHORE!"

Musically, the song is a masterclass in fusion. It opens with an instrumental Pavane/Bolero carried by a classical wind ensemble, establishing the melancholic theme of a lost world. This fragile beginning explodes into a driving Progressive Rock section, led by a virtuosic and aggressive flute in homage to the pioneers of 70s prog. The song’s core is a long, complex instrumental piece that shifts between a brutal symphonic dialogue—where orchestra and rock band "answer" each other—and moments of profound silence featuring a sorrowful cello solo and whispered words. The journey culminates in a slow, majestic, and hymnic finale, where all the sonic worlds—orchestral, metal, and baroque—merge into a single, soaring statement of healing and redemption.
