Book 1 of "Hinter uns das Land (Behind Us The Land)" takes place in East Prussia in the years leading up to World War II.  It tells the story of the Feyerabend family, who live on a large farm called Gallitten. The story is centered on Inge, the youngest daughter, and her experiences growing up in a time of great change and uncertainty.

The book begins in the summer of 1932, when Inge is five years old. Life on the farm is idyllic and peaceful, and Inge enjoys spending her days playing with her siblings and exploring the surrounding countryside. The family is close-knit and hardworking, and they are well-respected in the community.

However, the shadow of the Nazi regime is looming over Germany, and the Feyerabends are not immune to its influence. Inge's father, a respected farmer, is against the Party, and her older brother Bruno becomes increasingly involved as a soldier.

As the political situation in Germany deteriorates, the Feyerabends begin to worry about the future. They know that war is inevitable, and they fear for their safety and their way of life.

In the final chapter of Book 1, the Feyerabends receive news that German troops have occupied Bohemia and Moravia. This event marks a turning point in the story, as it signals the beginning of the war and the end of the Feyerabends' peaceful life in East Prussia.

But what will happen next? Will the Feyerabends be forced to flee their home? Will they be able to stay together as a family? And what will become of Inge and her siblings?

To find out what happens next, you'll have to listen to the music for Book 2!

The Land Behind Us (Opening)

Based on the novel 'Behind Us The Land' - 'Hinter uns das Land' - German release 2025

(Verse 1)
Sunrise through the window pane, paints the fields in golden rain
Childhood dreams, a life so sweet, running barefoot, tiny feet
Laughter echoes, whispers fly, beneath the vast and endless sky
Innocence, a fragile grace, a smile upon a youthful face

(Pre-Chorus)
But whispers turn to chilling fears, a world on edge, a mother's tears
The shadows grow, the darkness falls, a storm is brewing, fate now calls....

Roots In The Wind

[Based on the novel 'Behind Us The Land' - 'Hinter uns das Land' - German release 2025]

[Verse 1]
In the dawn of a warm summer day,
Inge wanders where the small kids play,
In the fields of green, with flowers in bloom,
Memories of laughter filling the room.  

[Chorus]
Oh, the joy of youth in the morning light,
With friends by her side, everything feels right,
In the heart of home, where dreams are spun,
Finding joy in the simple, under the sun.....  

In The Heart Of Home

[Based on the novel 'Behind Us The Land' - 'Hinter uns das Land' - German release 2025]

[Verse 1]
Her father was a serious man, yet loving and kind,
A farmer's delegate, respected in mind,
Neighbors sought his counsel, wisdom to share,
Discussing the future, the change in the air.  

[Chorus]
His words carried weight, from the land they sprang,
Inge listened quietly, the stories they sang,
In the shade of the oak, the siblings would meet,
In laughter and memories, their lives felt complete.  ....

In The Shade Of The Oak

[Based on the novel 'Behind Us The Land' - 'Hinter uns das Land' - German release 2025]

[Verse 1]
In the chicken coop where the warm sun shines,
Little fluffy chicks are so divine,
Tiny peeps echo, a sweet surprise,
Inge’s heart dances as she watches them rise.  

[Chorus]
Oh, aren’t they lovely, soft as can be?
Little sunbeams shining back at me,
Life’s little wonders fill the air,
In this happy place, love is everywhere.  .....

Little Sunbeams Shining Back At Me

In a World That’s Changing, We Strive To Know

Alot of fake people out there that will do you dirty

Masquerade

The Anthem of Liberation. "My Wisdom" marks the turning point where silence turns into a scream. In the repressive atmosphere of 1943 East Prussia, Adelheide was forced to whisper. But some voices cannot be caged.

This track is the sonic explosion of a soul breaking free. With driving guitars and a hypnotic bridge that grounds wisdom in the reality of pain ("blood on the ground"), this song defines the spirit of Adelheide's Wisdom. It is a refusal to be a victim and a declaration of self-empowerment.

📖 Based on the character Adelheide from the transmedia novel saga "The Land Behind Us". 👇 This is her wisdom. What is yours? Tell us in the comments!

Die Hymne der Befreiung. "My Wisdom" markiert den Wendepunkt, an dem das Schweigen zum Schrei wird. In der repressiven Atmosphäre Ostpreußens 1943 wurde Adelheide gezwungen zu flüstern. Aber manche Stimmen lassen sich nicht einsperren.

Dieser Track ist die klangliche Explosion einer Seele, die ausbricht. Mit treibenden Gitarren und einer hypnotischen Bridge, die Weisheit im realen Schmerz verankert ("blood on the ground"), definiert dieser Song den Geist von Adelheide's Wisdom. Es ist die Weigerung, Opfer zu sein, und eine Unabhängigkeitserklärung.

📖 Basierend auf dem Charakter Adelheide aus dem transmedialen Roman-Epos "Hinter uns das Land". 👇 Das ist ihre Weisheit. Was ist deine? Schreib es in die Kommentare!

This Is My Wisdom
Adelheid's Wisdom
By
Beyond & Before Music

[Verse]
I once was silenced
I was quiet
Just like you
But I grew tired
Of feeling like a fool
You want me in your palm
But I refuse to give it up
'Cause I know that when I do
I'll give it all up for you

[Chorus]
But some voices get louder
I am Adelheide
And I am sick of whispering
This is my wisdom

[Verse 2]
I once was powerless
I was useless
Just like you
But I was so tired
Of always playing your muse
And now I speak in tongues
And now I'm feeling drunk
You know I don't belong
In your arms

[Chorus]
But some voices get louder
I am Adelheide
And I am sick of whispering
This is my wisdom

[Bridge]
And my blood is on the ground
It drips onto the ground
And my blood is on the ground
It drips onto the ground
And my blood is on the ground
It drips onto the ground
And my blood is on the ground
It drips onto the ground
And my blood is on the ground
It drips onto the ground
And my blood is on the ground
It drips onto the ground
And my blood is on the ground
It drips onto the ground
And my blood is on the ground
It drips onto the ground
And my blood is on the ground
It drips onto the ground

[Outro]
But some voices get louder
I am Adelheide
And I am sick of whispering
This is my wisdom

This Is My Wisdom

“Cravings” – a late-night haze of syrupy chords, woozy drums, and spaced-out melodies that blur the line between missing her and just missing reality. 4 days of obsessive tweaking to bottle that Flying Lotus × Knxwledge × J Dilla × Mndsgn feeling: warm, trippy, a little heartbroken, a little high. Perfect for 3 a.m. drives, blunt cruises, or sliding into the DMs of someone you’re low-key addicted to. Close your eyes, press play, and let it melt. ♡

Cravings

Preparing for the worst

Galaxies of Tragedy
Oh where is my sanity?
Poems read for vanity
This can’t be all that’s left of me!

It’s emptiness that fills the void
But when it’s full I get annoyed
I know it’s bull but I enjoy
Staring into nothingness.

Empty echoes in my head
Put me in a place of dread
And I realize that all the books I’ve read
Haven’t taught me nothing.

I’m back at beginning and beginning 
To budge got a grudge and not one nut
But I’m a nut that’ll gut any putz in the palodeum explode on him and load the kid with holes and shit…

Im here now
And I hear sounds
And I’m near proud
Of my mouth
And what comes out

Galaxies of Tragedy
Oh where is my sanity?
Poems read for vanity
This can’t be all that’s left of me!

It’s emptiness that fills the void
But when it’s full I get annoyed
I know it’s bull but I enjoy
Staring into nothingness.

I’m present
And resent
Both the past 
And the future
Feel super
Deal hoopla 
Real shooter
Meal looter
Tree climber
Line doer 
Fine, neuter 
Me I’m zany 
And crazy
And maybe
The day B
Too short
For these
Contortions
Of thought 
Your style
Is store bought
My swag is all wrought 
brought with thought

Im here now
And I hear sounds
And I’m near proud
Of my mouth
And what comes out

Galaxies of Tragedy
Oh where is my sanity?
Poems read for vanity
This can’t be all that’s left of me!

It’s emptiness that fills the void
But when it’s full I get annoyed
I know it’s bull but I enjoy
Staring into nothingness.

Erasure 7

I hear your words in the silent night, 
They make me wide awake.
You're talking over my sleepy head, 
And you don't give me no break.
The light I've seen is so far gone 
And the safety that I felt, 
Can't make me strong no more

You don't ever compromise, 
It's your words against mine. 
My soul stands in the shadow of 
Your strong controlling mind.
The light I've seen is so far gone
And the safety that I felt, 
Can't comfort me no more.

Why did you come to stay
Why did you look my way
In the first place?
Why mess me up with words
Do you know how much that hurts?
...
Now that you're blown away
I close my eyes and pray
For the first time.
Living next to you here
Was more than I thought I'd dare
In my new life!

I woke up from a dream last night
And I surely realized
The only one who can make me strong
Is myself and my own life
The light I've seen is clearer now
And the safety that I felt
Is coming back with love
(Is coming back with love)

Lyrics: June Maribo Rønhovde

My New Life (Demo)

Step back into a warmer, simpler Christmas with this classic-style remake of “Happy Holiday.” Inspired by the golden era of holiday music, this version captures the cozy charm of glowing fireplaces, decorated trees, and joyful nights spent with family and friends.

Featuring a timeless big-band feel, smooth vintage vocals, and that unmistakable old-school holiday spirit, this track is meant to sound like it belongs on a spinning vinyl record in a 1950s living room.

Whether you’re decorating the tree, driving through snowy streets, or just soaking in the season, this song is a heartfelt reminder of what the holidays are all about.

Thank you for listening, and from my home to yours — Happy Holiday!

Happy Holiday (Updated Remake)

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 and Inge Feyerabend the mother of the author.

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.

A Beyond & Before Music production.

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.

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.
