Last Man Standing

Escape Earth

The mirror's cracked, the vision's blurred
But I believe in every word
Dreams won't fade if I keep them strong
If I'm wrong, I'll prove I belong

He wakes at dawn, chasing stars
Thinks hard work's what got him this far
When things go wrong, it's luck to blame
Yet he swears he'll win again the same

You call it madness, a fool's crusade
But I'll climb the heights that fear forbade
It's not deception - it's how I lead
Delusion's the strength I'll always need

She's solving a puzzle no one's cracked
Believes her grit fills what others lack
Smarter minds gave up the fight
But she's sure her hours will make it right

You call it madness, a fool's crusade
But I'll climb the heights that fear forbade
It's not deception - it's how I lead
Delusion's the strength I'll always need

They call it folly
Call it pride
But without this fire
Who'd even try?

He sings his heart in the shower each day
No crowds yet, but he's sure they'll stay
The stage is close, he feels it now
He'll take the mic and show them how

You call it madness, a fool's crusade
But I'll climb the heights that fear forbade
It's not deception - it's how I lead
Delusion's the strength I'll always need

The power of delusion keeps me strong
Without it, I'd never move along
Call it madness, call it pride
It's the flame that keeps me alive

The Power of Delusion

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.

"But War's Dark Shadow, Stretched Across The Land" (Long Version) - This extended version delves deeper into the oppressive atmosphere of the Feyerabend family's last Christmas in East Prussia, in late January 1945, shortly before their flight. Inspired by true events recounted in the novel "Hinter uns das Land" ("Behind Us The Land"), the song captures the growing fear, despair, and last moments of security before the horrors of war engulf them.

"But War's Dark Shadow, Stretched Across The Land" (Long Version) - Diese erweiterte Version vertieft die beklemmende Atmosphäre des letzten Weihnachtsfestes der Familie Feyerabend in Ostpreußen, Ende Januar 1945, kurz vor ihrer Flucht. Inspiriert von wahren Begebenheiten, die im Roman "Hinter uns das Land" geschildert werden, fängt der Song die wachsende Angst, die Verzweiflung und die letzten Momente der Geborgenheit ein, bevor das Grauen des Krieges sie endgültig einholt.

But War's Dark Shadow, Streched Across The Land (Full Version)

We all come to forks in the road
Which way is best? Where do I go?
I'm not my own, there's one greater than I 

Let 
Me 
Stop
Here 

At the fork...
Do you want human touch?
Human bliss?
Human dust?
Do you want human touch?
Human bliss?
Human dust? 

There's a longing deep within me
Feel like I don't belong anywhere
I have a longing for human touch
Won't you take me somewhere greater than I?
I'm not my own I was bought at a price 

At the fork in the road...
Do you want eternal life
Unhuman strife 
And what is right?
Do you want eternal life
Unhuman strife
And what is right? 

We all come to forks in the road
Which is best and which will complete you? 

Two paths stretch out before you
One promises to satisfy 
And the other, in due time
He will provide in due time
And the other will destroy you...
In due time 

At the fork in the road...
At the fork in the road 

Do you want human touch?
Human bliss?
Human dust?
Do you want human touch? 
Human bliss?
Human dust?
Do you want eternal life
Unhuman strife 
And what is right?

So amazing

Welcome to my kingdom Musical Paradise. This is a kingdom where everybody's talent is being showcased to the world. How this kingdom was found is when Offspring and the gang was storming through a forest. He heard some very colorful noises and decided to check it out. As he found the source of the noise, he heard a band playing some colorful tunes. Offspring grew curious about how was they doing it so he decided to ask one of the band members if he could play his keyboard. They all approved and Adollaspring asked him, "dude do you even know how to play a sound?" They all laughed at his joke while Offspring response was "no but I'm finna learn today!" With excitement in his tone, he stared pressing different keys hearing them make different sounds. So of course every inexperienced piano-est press every key on the keyboard sounding very terrible. The band member was gonna stop him until a shocking event happened. As Offspring kept on playing, Offspring original form was turning lighter and lighter and that's not all. He even started to play better, so better he even made a never unheard of sound. Everybody in the venue was admiring his sound. Hell, even Onslaught decided to chime in with him and play the drums. Adollaspring played the guitar, spawn was on saxophone and hollowspring was playing the villein. All of them played in sync creating the most magical song of all time. Everybody's soul was being turned to their aura, their spirits was flying across the sky, even the Walking Onslaughts form changed to a musical guardian. All of them stopped playing and saw the magic with everybody. The lead singer ask "Dude........ how... how did you do that?" Offspring response " I don't know, it was like the music was in my soul. Like..... I was in a musical paradise." As those words went out of his mouth, Two musical guardians appeared in his presence. Offspring said "who the hell are you guys?" guardian "we are the musical guardians, and what you just did was unlocked your hidden power via sound, and we want you to be our God. We'll even grant you your own kingdom." At first they was suspicious about it, then they talked more in dept about it and Offspring agreed to their offer. Years down the line, they made the most colorful sounding kingdom of all time. To this day, more and more selective people are joining the kingdom. Who knew music could be so powerful.
