MANIC MONDAY
Original song written by Prince & recorded by The Bangles
Version by Overdrive & Antoine Guigan

"Manic Monday" is a song by the American pop rock band The Bangles, and the first single released from their second studio album, Different Light (1986). It was written by American musician Prince using the pseudonym "Christopher" and was originally intended for the group Apollonia 6 in 1984. Lyrically, it describes a woman who is waking up to go to work on Monday, wishing it was still Sunday so she could continue relaxing. The single, released by Columbia Records on Monday January 27, 1986, received generally positive reviews from music critics and some comparisons with The Mamas & the Papas' "Monday, Monday". It became The Bangles' first hit, reaching number two in the United States and the United Kingdom, as well as in Austria, Canada, Germany and Ireland, and peaked within the top five in Australia, New Zealand, Norway and Switzerland. It was later certified silver in the UK by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).

LYRICS

Six o'clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino
By a crystal blue Italian stream
But I can't be late
'Cause then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days
When you wish your bed was already made

It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my fun day
My I don't have to run day
It's just another manic Monday

Have to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an air-o-plane
I still couldn't make it on time
'Cause it takes me so long
Just to figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train
But the boss is already there

It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my fun day
My I don't have to run day
It's just another manic Monday

All of the nights
Why did my lover have to pick last night
To get down
Doesn't it matter
That I have to feed the both of us
Employment's down
He tells me in his bedroom voice
C'mon honey, let's go make some noise
Time it goes so fast
(When you're having fun)

It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my fun day
My I don't have to run day
It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my fun day
It's just another manic Monday

Manic Monday

Album Title: After The Bat Was Freed ... But Before Metal Died 

An Ozzy Requiem

Description:

This is more than an album. This is a requiem. A two-part rock opera epic exploring the complete life, legacy, and psychological journey of a rock and roll icon. Performed by the virtual progressive metal band Adelheide's Wisdom.

LP 1: "After The Bat Was Freed ... But Before Metal Died"
A nine-act narrative that chronicles the rise and reflection of a legend. The journey begins in the industrial haze of 1960s Birmingham, capturing the spark of a Beatles-inspired dream ("The Day The Bat Was Freed"). It crashes through the chaotic birth of a new sound ("Sounds Like a Bunch of Cats Fightin'"), explores the creation of the demonic "Madman" persona ("They Call Me The Madman"), and descends into the self-destructive excesses of the 80s ("Wings of Sin"). The album finds its emotional core in the heartbreaking ballad "I Was Just A Dreamer," before culminating in a final, monumental tribute to the man behind the myth ("Prince of Eternal Fire").

8. Prince of Eternal Fire
The legend: An epic metal anthem that summarizes the entire life from a respectful outside perspective, celebrating all facets of the icon – "Madman! Father! Choir!". This is the story as told by history.

9. Funeral of the Prince of Darkness
The fans' farewell: The finale of the main album. A loud, defiant, and proud metal anthem from the perspective of the fans who carry on the legacy. This is not a sad goodbye; it's a roar of eternal loyalty.

Funeral of the Prince of Darkness

This is a story of a knockdown, not a knockout.

"Ten Counts" uses the metaphor of a boxing match to tell the true story of a young refugee's arrival in post-war Germany. It's about facing a cold, hostile welcome that feels like a punch to the gut, but finding the inner strength to get back up before the count of ten. A song about the moment resilience is born from a spark of kindness in the darkest of places.

This track is a central piece of the novel "Hinter uns das Land" (The Land Behind Us).

Dies ist die Geschichte eines Niederschlags, nicht eines K.o.

"Ten Counts" nutzt die Metapher eines Boxkampfes, um die wahre Geschichte der Ankunft einer jungen Vertriebenen im Nachkriegsdeutschland zu erzählen. Es geht darum, einem kalten, feindseligen Willkommen zu begegnen, das sich wie ein Schlag in die Magengrube anfühlt – aber die innere Stärke zu finden, wieder aufzustehen, bevor man bis zehn ausgezählt ist. Ein Lied über den Moment, in dem aus einem Funken Freundlichkeit in tiefster Dunkelheit Widerstandskraft geboren wird.

Dieser Track ist ein zentrales Stück aus dem Roman "Hinter uns das Land".

This Knockdown Won’t Be The Final Round (From the Original Novel Soundtrack)

This is not just an EP. This is a requiem in four acts.

Performed by the virtual progressive metal band Adelheide's Wisdom, this concept EP takes the listener on the complete emotional journey of grieving a fallen rock hero.

The cycle begins with the quiet, personal shock of 'Act I: The Inner Void', explodes into the raw, punk-rock anger of 'Act II: The First Cry', transforms into a massive, collective celebration of legacy with the 9-minute live anthem of 'Act III', and finds a final, majestic peace in the solemn, orchestral finale of 'Act IV: The Anthem of the Fans'.

It is a testament to a legend and a defiant statement that true music never dies. Welcome to 'The Day When Metal Died (but this will never happen)'.

Das ist nicht nur eine EP. Das ist ein Requiem in vier Akten.

Performt von der virtuellen Progressive-Metal-Band Adelheide's Wisdom, nimmt diese Konzept-EP den Hörer mit auf die vollständige emotionale Reise der Trauer um einen gefallenen Rock-Helden.

Der Zyklus beginnt mit dem leisen, persönlichen Schock von 'Akt I: Die innere Leere', explodiert in der rohen Punk-Rock-Wut von 'Akt II: Der erste Schrei', verwandelt sich in eine gewaltige, kollektive Feier des Vermächtnisses mit der 9-minütigen Live-Hymne von 'Akt III' und findet einen letzten, majestätischen Frieden im feierlichen, orchestralen Finale von 'Akt IV: Die Hymne der Fans'.

Es ist ein Testament für eine Legende und ein trotziges Statement, dass wahre Musik niemals stirbt. Willkommen zu 'The Day When Metal Died (but this will never happen)'.

I was inspired by the Woman of Valour acrostic poem in Proverbs 31, but I have changed the words considerably, to make it more about an indigenous shamanic tribal woman. Plus I mixed in some shamanic drumming and also a field recording of a woman chanting at a fire ceremony.

An Epic Novel. A Sonic Universe. One True Story.

Welcome to the sonic universe of "Behind Us The Land" (Hinter uns das Land). What began as a soundtrack for an epic historical novel has evolved into a global, cross-genre music phenomenon, celebrated by millions of listeners and a worldwide community of artists.

Discover the different worlds within this project:

The official soundtrack to the 80-year true story of the Feyerabend family.

The epic progressive metal of the virtual band Adelheide's Wisdom.

The chart-topping indie pop of the virtual artist Ulla F.

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. As the human visionary, he employs a hybrid method of traditional songwriting and the pioneering use of AI tools as his "orchestra" to bring this monumental saga to life.

This is a place for deep listeners, for fans of epic stories and genre-defying music. Dive in, explore the albums and playlists, and become part of a story that connects the past with the future.

At its heart, 'Behind Us The Land' is more than just the 80-year story of one German family. It's a universal parable about loss, resilience, and the unbreakable will to build a new home from the ruins – a story that repeats itself tens of thousands of times every single day, all over the world. Our music aims to give a voice to this universal experience and to inspire courage.

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.

Ein Romanepos. Ein Klanguniversum. Eine wahre Geschichte.

Willkommen im Klang-Universum von "Hinter uns das Land". Was als Soundtrack zu einem epischen historischen Roman begann, hat sich zu einem globalen, genre-übergreifenden Musikphänomen entwickelt, das von Millionen von Hörern und einer weltweiten Community von Künstlern gefeiert wird.

Entdecken Sie die verschiedenen Welten innerhalb dieses Projekts:

Den offiziellen Soundtrack zur 80-jährigen, wahren Saga der Familie Feyerabend.

Den epischen Progressive Metal der virtuellen Band Adelheide's Wisdom.

Den chartstürmenden Indie-Pop der virtuellen Künstlerin Ulla F.

Geführt von Autor, Produzent und Musik-Kurator Frank Talmon l'Armée, ist dieses Projekt das Ergebnis einer lebenslangen Leidenschaft für Musik und das Erzählen von Geschichten. Als menschlicher Visionär nutzt er eine hybride Methode aus traditionellem Songwriting und dem wegweisenden Einsatz von KI-Werkzeugen als sein "Orchester", um diese monumentale Saga zum Leben zu erwecken.

Dies ist ein Ort für anspruchsvolle Hörer, für Fans von epischen Geschichten und genre-sprengender Musik. Tauchen Sie ein, erforschen Sie die Alben und Playlists und werden Sie Teil einer Geschichte, die die Vergangenheit mit der Zukunft verbindet.

Im Herzen ist 'Hinter uns das Land' mehr als nur die 80-jährige Geschichte einer deutschen Familie. Es ist eine universelle Parabel über Verlust, Widerstandsfähigkeit und den unzerbrechlichen Willen, aus den Trümmern eine neue Heimat zu schaffen – eine Geschichte, die sich täglich zigtausendfach auf der ganzen Welt wiederholt. Unsere Musik soll dieser universellen Erfahrung eine Stimme geben und Mut machen.

UNSERE VISION & MISSION

Unsere Vision: Wir glauben daran, dass Resilienz selbst die tiefsten Wunden erträglich machen kann.

Unsere Mission: Dieses Projekt widmet sich einer zutiefst menschlichen, wahren Geschichte, um zwei Dinge zu erreichen:

Zeugnis ablegen: Zu zeigen, was Krieg mit normalen Menschen macht und wie seine Narben über Generationen nachhallen.

Mut machen: Jeden zu stärken und zu inspirieren, der Verlust erlitten oder schwere Zeiten durchlebt hat.

Das ist Musik als Vermächtnis. Eine Geschichte, die sich täglich wiederholt.

Ein Projekt von Beyond & Before Music.
