Blood On My Shoes

The photo is of my beautiful talented little grandaughter, Luna.  She is a moonbeam! Moonbeams are merely reflections of the sun that come to earth in waves of reflected light at night.  They are reflections of a greater glory just as we who have inherited "Imagio Dei" are also reflections of a greater glory.  How do others see us. Perhaps as the dark side of the moon reflecting nothing. That would not be the case with Luna!

"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.

[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 (From the Original Novel Soundtrack)

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

A new, soulful interpretation from the "Hinter uns das Land" universe: Adelheide's Wisdom, the conceptual band from Beyond & Before Music, presents "Maybe Hell's Not Fire" as an intimate unplugged ballad. This version strips the song down to its emotional core, telling a universal story of memory, loss, and the quiet hope that shimmers in the dark.

Carried by a memorable, fingerpicked acoustic guitar and a wistful harmonica, the poetic lyrics unfold with a special intensity. The drums are used only subtly, leaving space for the vocals and the melancholic melody to breathe.

This is a song designed to give you goosebumps, taking you on a search for the lost "fireflies" of life.

"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.

Inspiriert von den Themen des Romans: "Hinter uns das Land"

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

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.

Helmed by author, producer, and lifelong music curator Frank Talmon l'Armée, this project is the result of a deep-seated passion for music and storytelling.

At its heart, 'Behind Us The Land' is more than just the 80-year story of one German family.

OUR VISION & MISSION

Our Vision: We believe that resilience can make even the deepest wounds bearable.

Our Mission: This project is dedicated to a profoundly human, true story to achieve two things:

To Bear Witness: To show what war does to ordinary people and how its scars echo for generations.

To Give Courage: To strengthen and inspire anyone who has suffered loss or lived through difficult times.

This is music as a testament. A story that repeats itself every day.
