A story about an "old friend" entering the house of an "old friend" but the latter doesn't remember him at all...

LYRICS:
________________________

"Hey Marvin, Is that really you? I can't believe I really see you in person after all these years"

I happened to be just around the corner
I thought I’d just drop by
We could have a cozy cup of coffee
I haven't seen you quite a while

At first I hardly recognised you
But I guess that I look older too
Look at your house, look at your garden
You seem to have changed your point of view

And I see the pictures on your walls
Faces I don’t know but they seem to mean a lot
And I remember who you were
Frightened of the crowd, never in the spot

Then it's Marvin turn: 
"Oh no....It's that guy. Thought I'd never see him gain. What's his name?"

We don't have a thing in common
I don't remember where we met
Weren't you that guy at every party
Trying to bum a cigarette?

Telling tales and selling stories
Breaking hearts with what you say
Finding ways to make your world more complete
But hurting others onthe way

Yes I have pictures on my wall
Faces you don’t know but you don't have a role
And I remember who you were
Profit from the crowd, never had a heart

Visitor: 
I leave now but we must meet again
We got something good that needs to be maintained
Marvin:
Go now, close the door behind you
I wish you the best but I'm not your old friend...

Together:
I see the pictures on your walls / I have pictures on my wall
Faces I don’t know but they seem to mean a lot / Faces you don’t know but you don't have a role
And I remember who you were / And I remember who you were
Frightened of the crowd, never in the spot / Profit from the crowd, never had a heart

Old Friend

Old Friend (with Ian Collins)

There was a time when I liked the mean streets.
Alcohol, the drugs, the pizzas.
Feeling I was getting somewhere fast.

But, all them times they were too risky
All them people nowt but piskies.
Nothing in that world is built to last.

Though alcohol stirred my emotion.
Held me back from true devotion.
Holds you back from any given task.

Kids they change things.
Life is savage.
All you wanted was no baggage.
Something has to give. 
It's really this or that.

The causes that you thought important.
Melt away with holy portents.
Honey drizzled, cold war, dazzled hearts.

And all the naying, saying, lovers.
Soft, warm legs underneath covers.
Couldn't help me now. 
That we're apart.

Your sky will never fill my pages.
Barely heard of all your sages.
Take a look for me.
Before we start.

Oh, up and down, and far below.
It's all the same to me, you know.
The portrait of an artist. 
Giving away all his art.

Oh, I'll...
Say it, then.
I shall never play the Dane.
I shall never play the Dane.
Because I'm old.
oh, I'll...
Say it again.
I shall never play the Dane.
I shall never play the Dane.
Because I'm old.

We send the kids to school for learning.
Half an eye on future earnings.
Whatever will now become of me?

A spent and used up commissary.
Delivered on time just barely.
Why'd you give me sight.
If I can't ever hope to see?

Your machinations drove me crazy.
Doubled up. 
Accused of lazy.
Trapped by lack of sleep that I can't beat.

Who cares to dance? 
When all above.
The puppet masters strings are cut.
Here I am sitting. 
Won't you go and dance for me?

Oh, I'll...
Say it, then.
I shall never play the Dane.
I shall never play the Dane.
Cause I am old.
Yeah, I'll...
Say it again.
I shall never play the Dane.
I shall never play the Dane.
I'm just too old.

Their covid left me blurry, weary.
I was not like all the teary.
Pan bang, sap eyed, abide, pleasant chaps.

And all you worry wort, dag naggers.
In cahoots with the flag shaggers.
Ruined all my feelings toward the past

Your rules were made to be heartbroken.
Everything is bought with tokens.
How'd we get our foot off of the gas?

Money comes to cause it's mischief.
Always rooted for the sneak theif.
Boffins kinda gave me creeps.
Never gave me laughs.

I've no concerns about your Facebook.
Crushed the car.
But kept the log book.
Hushed. Momento mori. Fancy free.

You over-ruled me nationally.
Watched my family dilly dally.
Sleeping. Creeping. 
Further out from me.

Your anodyne, pontificating,
deals you are making with Satan.
How I wish you'd try to let it...
Let it wander free.

They rubber stamped your reliquary 
Fuck the rich, man.
They are lairy.
In the end.
Well, there... 
There is only me.

EP: "Tragen wir Träume auf zerbrechlichen Wegen" - Musik zu "Hinter uns das Land"

Diese EP, veröffentlicht von Beyond & Before Music, präsentiert zwei unterschiedliche Interpretationen der Songs "Hier auf Hela" und "Lappland", die Schlüsselszenen aus dem Roman "Hinter uns das Land" von Frank Talmon l'Armée musikalisch einfangen. Die Songs beleuchten die dramatische Flucht der Familie Feyerabend und anderer Flüchtlinge aus Ostpreußen im Frühjahr 1945.

"Hier auf Hela" fängt die beklemmende Stimmung und die Ungewissheit an der Küste von Hela ein, wo die Flüchtlinge auf eine Überfahrt warten, nachdem sie dem Grauen von Stutthof entkommen konnten. Der Song liegt in den Versionen Musical, Filmmusik, Alternative Rock und Experimental vor. Er spiegelt die innere Zerrissenheit der Protagonisten wider, die zwischen der Hoffnung auf Rettung und der Angst vor dem Ungewissen schwanken.

"Lappland" hingegen thematisiert die Überfahrt nach Dänemark an Bord des gleichnamigen Schiffes. Der Song, verfügbar in Folk, Folk-Rock und Singer-Songwriter, zeichnet die bedrohliche Atmosphäre auf See nach, die ständige Gefahr durch Torpedos und die Erinnerungen an die Tragödie der "Wilhelm Gustloff". Trotz der allgegenwärtigen Bedrohung steht auch hier die Hoffnung auf einen Neuanfang in der Fremde im Mittelpunkt.

"Tragen wir Träume auf zerbrechlichen Wegen" ist eine musikalische Reflexion über Flucht, Verlust und die Kraft der Hoffnung. Die Musik fängt die innere Zerrissenheit der Flüchtlinge ein, die zwischen der Erinnerung an das Vergangene und der vagen Hoffnung auf eine bessere Zukunft gefangen sind.

EP: "Carrying Dreams on Fragile Paths" - Music from "Hinter uns das Land" / "Behind Us The Land"

Released by Beyond & Before Music, this EP presents two distinct interpretations of the songs "Here on Hela" ("Hier auf Hela") and "Lappland", capturing key scenes from the novel "Hinter uns das Land" / "Behind Us The Land" by Frank Talmon l'Armée. The songs illuminate the dramatic escape of the Feyerabend family and other refugees from East Prussia in the spring of 1945.

"Here on Hela" captures the oppressive atmosphere and uncertainty on the coast of Hela, where the refugees wait for a passage after escaping the horrors of Stutthof. The song is available in musical, soundtrack, alternative rock, and experimental versions. It reflects the inner turmoil of the protagonists, torn between the hope of rescue and the fear of the unknown.

"Lappland", on the other hand, deals with the crossing to Denmark aboard the ship of the same name. The song, available in folk, folk-rock, and singer-songwriter versions, portrays the threatening atmosphere at sea, the constant danger of torpedoes, and the memories of the "Wilhelm Gustloff" tragedy. Despite the omnipresent threat, the hope for a new beginning in a foreign land is also a central theme.

"Carrying Dreams on Fragile Paths" is a musical reflection on escape, loss, and the power of hope. The music captures the inner turmoil of the refugees, caught between the memory of the past and the vague hope for a better future.

"Rise" is another Lyra-8 drone. I am currently shaping a live set I gonna play only with the Lyra-8 and its sibling, the Cosmos. I realised its almost impossible to make a "setlist" or some similar starting configs as I almost end up with something completely different than I thought I would go to. I use the concept of "idea" instead of "tracks" on this setting and this track is a good example for this concept: "Rise" has a quite good "Preset" that I noted on a piece of paper. I can easily repeat this and get similar results - it's of course not a replicate but It comes close to the idea and goes somewhere else then. 

Rise

Typing away, every morning
Tapping screens to start the day
the buzzing and bright glowing
Guiding me the wrong way

Screens before my very eyes
TV shows and tablet streams
In this digital sunrise
Living life through endless screens

I don't remember any silence
Worth believing in a world before

There's no other way I know how
To navigate this tech-filled shore

Step out into the day
Feel the morning air
Nature's love leads the way
Sparkle in your eyes
Sunshine in our hearts
Love shines with sunrise

Swipe and scroll, I'm always talking
To the apps that bring me light
Messages and endless streaming
Keeping me connected all night

Watches ticking, time is flying
Virtual and augmented dreams
In this wired paradise
Nothing's ever as it seems

I don't remember any silence
Worth believing in a world before

There's no other way I know how
To navigate this tech-filled shore

Step out into the day
Feel the morning air
Nature's love leads the way
Sparkle in your eyes
Sunshine in our hearts
Love shines with sunrise

Hold me, hold me
Don't let this screen light fade
Don't let go
Feel the pixels flooding in
I won't ever be lonely
Just let me dive into your world
Over and over again
Over and over again

Step out into the day
Feel the morning air
Nature's love leads the way
Sparkle in your eyes
Sunshine in our hearts
Love shines with sunrise

Love shines with sunrise
With sunrise

Love Shines With Sunrise

This Is The End

Lyrics
 
So let the fire burn, in this scarred terrain,
We’ll rise from the embers, through the hurt and the pain.
So let the fire burn, in this scarred terrain,
We’ll rise from the embers, through the hurt and the pain.

In the ruins, echoes whisper tales of old,
Forgotten battles fought, the stories left untold.
A land betrayed by time, ashes in the dust,
We search for signs of hope, but find only rust.
When the stars align, in this dusk of fate,
We'll rise from the shadows, no longer hesitate.
With dreams ignited, we’ll reclaim what’s lost,
Together we stand tall, no matter the cost.
So let the music rise, through the silent pain,
We reclaim our voices, from the ashes, we'll reign.


So let the fire burn, in this scarred terrain,
We’ll rise from the embers, through the hurt and the pain.
So let the fire burn, in this scarred terrain,
We’ll rise from the embers, through the hurt and the pain.

In the ruins, where the ashes lay,
We tread lightly on the dreams that went gray.
With each step forward, we carry the weight,
Of battles forgotten, in a world we create.

So let the fire burn, in this scarred terrain,
We’ll rise from the embers, through the hurt and the pain.
A song of resilience, our hearts intertwined,
In a land that was lost, we’ve now redefined.

In the silence, echoes sing of what we knew,
Through the darkness, we forge paths anew.
A symphony of hope, from the ashes we’ll find,
A new dawn awaits, with a vision unconfined.

So let the shadows fade, and the light break through,
We’ll traverse the landscape, with courage to pursue.
In this world reborn, our voices loud and clear,
Together we’ll reclaim, what was once held dear.

So let the fire burn, in this scarred terrain,
We’ll rise from the embers, through the hurt and the pain.
So let the fire burn, in this scarred terrain,
We’ll rise from the embers, through the hurt and the pain.

In the ruins, where the ashes lay,
We tread lightly on the dreams that went gray.
With each step forward, we carry the weight,
Of battles forgotten, in a world we create.
