EP: "Strength In You" - Beyond & Before Music feat. Ulla F.

Discover "Strength In You," a new EP by Beyond & Before Music celebrating the unbreakable power of the human spirit! Inspired by the overarching themes of the novel "Hinter uns das Land" / "Behind Us The Land" but with a universal message, this collection features four songs that tell stories of resilience, hope, and growing through adversity.

With the track "Scars Made Me Stronger" at its core, the EP explores, in catchy Indie Pop and Pop styles, how we can learn from setbacks and find inner strength. The music is light, hopeful, and invites you to sing along, carried by clear melodies and positive vibes, symbolically represented by the spirit of "Ulla F."

These songs are meant to encourage and remind us that even after dark times, light always awaits, and that life's scars ultimately make us stronger.

Adelheide's Wisdom - The Project & The Song
About the Project

Adelheide's Wisdom is more than a band—it is a musical saga. It is the sound of a story, a journey from a lost world into the heart of resilience.

This project is the official musical companion to the German historical novel "Hinter uns das Land" (The Land Behind Us) by Frank Talmon l'Armée. Based on the true autobiographical account of Inge Talmon l'Armée (1927-2006), the story follows a family's journey through the loss of their East Prussian homeland during World War II, their traumatic flight, and the arduous process of rebuilding a new life from the ruins of the old. The music translates universal themes of trauma, memory, inner strength, and the search for a new identity into a powerful sonic experience.

Our sound is a fusion of Epic Progressive Rock and Symphonic Metal, infused with elements of melancholic Folk and classical forms like the Pavane and Bolero. The music mirrors the narrative's arc, shifting from delicate, atmospheric passages to powerful, heavy riffs—a constant dialogue between a fragile past and a complex present. The members of Adelheide's Wisdom are virtual artists, their names and personalities drawn from the key characters of the novel, each bringing their unique part of the story to the music.

Featured Epic: "When the River Sings"

At the heart of our concept album lies the monumental 28-minute epic, "When the River Sings." This track is a multi-act symphonic journey that encapsulates the entire narrative arc of the project, exploring trauma, confrontation, and ultimate catharsis.

The song uses the metaphor of a river to tell the story of a refugee's soul. It begins with the arrival of a fragile protagonist (Adelheide) who sees only her painful past in the water's reflection, asking, "Will it heal me… or just drag me deeper?" The river (voiced by André) responds as a majestic yet menacing force, leading to a powerful confrontation. After a chaotic inner struggle, she finds strength not by defeating her pain, but by embracing it ("THE PAIN YOU INFLICTED IS NOW MY THRONE!"). In the triumphant finale, the river becomes a cleansing stream, leading to the profound realization: "I AM BOTH THE WRECK AND THE SHORE!"

Musically, the song is a masterclass in fusion. It opens with an instrumental Pavane/Bolero carried by a classical wind ensemble, establishing the melancholic theme of a lost world. This fragile beginning explodes into a driving Progressive Rock section, led by a virtuosic and aggressive flute in homage to the pioneers of 70s prog. The song’s core is a long, complex instrumental piece that shifts between a brutal symphonic dialogue—where orchestra and rock band "answer" each other—and moments of profound silence featuring a sorrowful cello solo and whispered words. The journey culminates in a slow, majestic, and hymnic finale, where all the sonic worlds—orchestral, metal, and baroque—merge into a single, soaring statement of healing and redemption.

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").

7. I Was Just a Dreamer

The turning point: The album's grand, emotional power ballad. This is the "morning after," the moment of catharsis and vulnerable reflection after all the excess. The loud facade of the "Madman" crumbles, revealing the heartbroken dreamer behind the mask.

Official Song Description: Adelheide's Wisdom – "I Was Just A Dreamer"
What remains when the spotlights fade and the myths begin to crack?

With "I Was Just A Dreamer," the virtual band Adelheide's Wisdom releases the first single and emotional centerpiece from their monumental concept album, "The Laughing Shadow: An Ozzy Requiem."

This epic power ballad is a profound and heartbreaking confession that looks behind the facade of the "Prince of Darkness." It tells a story of deep inner conflict – from the celebrated rock star on the world's biggest stage to the lonely "ghost at home," alienated from his own family and confronted with a lifetime of "scrambled eggs and mistakes."

Beginning with a fragile, intimate piano theme, the song unfolds into a massive, orchestral anthem. The haunting duet vocals of Adelheide and André guide the listener through a landscape of regret, pain, and the faint, almost lost hope for forgiveness.

"I Was Just A Dreamer" is more than just a song; it is the key to understanding the entire requiem. It is a meditation on the price of fame, the walls we build around ourselves, and the tragic search of a man trying to master the one role that always seemed out of reach: that of a father.

We all together worked day and night. As the Godfather of Metal was a musical role model and one of the first albums that our producer bought was 'Paranoid'.

Lyrics (by Frank Talmon l'Armée]

I Was Just a Dreamer

Spotlights burn my face, 
the crowds scream my name 
But it ain't my name, 
just a mask in the game. 
At home there are wrinkled hands and plates, 
Scrambled eggs and a life of mistakes.

Who's the mask, who's the face? 
Am I lost inside this place?

I'm a fading star with a burning heart, 
A joke to them, 
a ghost at home from the start. 
I'm screaming out but it falls apart...

All he ever wanted... was a father

Frozen clocks in an empty room, 
Maps lead nowhere, 
the compass a tomb.

But the wind still carries ancient tunes, 
Of brighter days and kinder moons.

And maybe tomorrow... 
The sun will break through... 

I was just a dreamer 
I dreamt my life anyway 
I was just a dreamer 
missing mostly better days

[Solo]

And the wind still carries ancient tunes, 
Of brighter days and kinder moons.

And maybe tomorrow... 
The sun will break through... 

I was just a dreamer 
I dreamt my life anyway 
I was just a dreamer 
missing mostly better days

They cheer for the beast... 
but my kids...

I Was Just a Dreamer

Official Song Description: Adelheide's Wisdom – "The Day When Metal Died (Act III: The Historical Marker)"

What does it sound like when 250,000 fans mourn their hero in unison?

Adelheide's Wisdom delivers a preview of their forthcoming epic, "The Day When Metal Died," with the release of the monumental third act, "The Historical Marker." This track is not just a song; it's a visceral, immersive experience designed to place the listener directly into the heart of a massive, passionate stadium crowd.

Driven by the raw, majestic energy of classic 80s heavy metal, the song combines galloping rhythms and soaring twin-guitar harmonies with a soundscape that captures the electric atmosphere of a legendary live concert. In this powerful chapter of the requiem, the private grief of the earlier acts transforms into a collective, defiant roar.

"The Historical Marker" is the moment the fans raise their voices, the moment a tribute becomes a timeless anthem. It's a sonic monument where the roar of the audience becomes an instrument in itself, creating a powerful, shared ritual of remembrance.

This is Act III of a larger story, a Glimpse into the epic scale of the full requiem to come.

The Day When Metal Died - Act III The Historical Marker

Leave Her Out Of This

I could cut her memory off completely,
I could be cold and removed,
I could delete her pics, her entire history,
That’s what most new girlfriends would want me to do,
But that bad attitude is them… not you…

You’re honestly proud she’s someone that I miss,
And you cherish it, seeing me reminisce,
You know I wouldn’t be the kind of man that you should date…
Not if I Leave Her Out Of This,

I could make jokes about what she was like,
And I could call her awful names,
I could act happy she was out of my life,
That’s what most new girlfriends would want me to say,
But you’re filled with compassion… you’re not that way…

You’re honestly proud she’s someone that I miss,
And you cherish it, seeing me reminisce,
You know I wouldn’t be the kind of man that you should date…
Not if I Leave Her Out Of This,

You got nothin’ to worry about 
Thanks for lettin’ me show you how I’m gonna love you
With how I love her on the way out…

You know I wouldn’t be the kind of man that you should date…
Not if I Leave Her Out Of This,
You let me feel it all, and fall to bits,
And your response is another perfect kiss…
I Love You, and I love the fact…
I don’t have to Leave Her Out Of This,
You never made me Leave Her Out Of This…
You never made me Leave Her Out Of This…




LEAVE HER OUT OF THIS

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

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.
