Well you’re making a fine job of it. 👌

WOW !! Wonderfull Music !! das geht Tief !! sehr sehr schön !!

love the evolving nature of this, good stuff

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

"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...

Carry On

"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.

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

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.

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.

Blaine Nash, Sofimix, & Stray Louis of the Blue Lanternz,+ DJ Chirish734 present: LIFE SENTENCE REMIX.

A journey through a tale of perseverance, overcoming the obstacles of physical adversity. The protagonist resides in a mobile jail cell, depicted as a symbol of Spastic CP. Bringing forth the trials and tribulations of finding salvation in one's own skin. A testament to the endurance of the spirit, and the determined will for life. 

[Blaine Nash lyrics]

Verse 1:

Yo, I'm caused in an instant, onset by brain trauma/
Collision course motor cortex to make drama/
Spastic CP, I pave roads to unveiled hell/
The body, serves as a mobile jail cell/
Bones are the foundation that robs independence/
Bars are Hypertonia, carries life in the sentence/
God did the booking, the crime is birth/
On a muscle chain gang, each move tiresome work/
Words fall on deaf ears, the chamber echos/
No visits, through stigmatization, they let go/
20/200 vision, the dwindling hope/
Counting days, light is vacant in the distancing scope/
Sanctioned to these confines, without parole/
Months turn to years, wearing out the soul/
As fatigue sets in, suffering won't last long/
Heart ceases to beat, and way out is to pass on/

Verse 2:

It happened in an instant, had no request for this/
Umbilical strangulation, the arrest was swift/
Dancing with death, narrowly bust her clutches/
Reviving in hell, made her seduction luscious/
Incubation, prepping for incarceration/
Stabilization for the darkness waitin'/
I'm an inmate of ligament restraint/
But what doesn't kill strengthens in imprisonment misplaced/
Daily exercise, therapy for the physical/
To loosen the locks, plus endurance is critical/
The mind is traveled, where bars aren't reachable/
Attributes indicating relief is foreseeable/
Though no release, optimism's opposed to dim/
Educating life lessons keep walls from closin' in/
Despite adversity, my seed was chose to win/
So against all odds, I find a home in skin/

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.

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.

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:

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