Will we survive
Another Night
Or do we come alive
In the absence of light

We grow accustomed to the dark

This was not the way life was supposed to be
We adjust our eyes for survival
And now we don't like what we see
This was not the way life was supposed to be
Resilience amongst uncertainty

With uncertain step
When not a moon dispose a sign
Rejecting all things light
to let the darkness shine

We grow accustomed to the dark

This was not the way life was supposed to be
We adjust our eyes for survival
And now we don't like what we see
This was not the way life was supposed to be
Resilience amongst uncertainty

We grow accustomed to the dark

Accustomed To The Dark

FINALLY!

My Goodness.... Wrote this song end summer 23, and been working (or not working, life has been busy) with the vocals. But it's here jeeeeeh. Everyone have a good time and hopefully next project won't take that long haha,

Amiga soledad

Estoy sentado en la cama
de mi austera habitación
y veo tras la montaña
el bello ocaso del sol.

Despacio va anocheciendo
pero qué me importa a mí
durante el día presiento
muy negro mi porvenir.

Mis canciones y mis libros
mi guitarra y su paz
son los únicos amigos
que acompañan mi soledad.

Estribillo

Amiga soledad, amiga soledad,
compañera de almohada
en las largas noches de invierno
de esos difíciles momentos
que la vida nos depara
y que nadie los quiere escuchar.

---------     

Espero que algún día
la alegría vuelva a mí
y poder ir por la vida
sin dejar de sonreír. 

Pero aunque todo varíe
y consiga renacer
siempre que te necesite
en ti me ampararé.

Pues de niño me acogiste
y siempre me fuiste fiel:
el calor que tú me diste
conformó mi forma de ser.

Estribillo

Friend solitude

I am sitting on the bed
in my austere room
and I see behind the mountain
the beautiful sunset of the sun.

It is slowly getting dark
but what do I care
during the day I feel
my future is very dark.

My songs and my books
my guitar and its peace
are the only friends
that accompany my solitude.

Chorus

Friend solitude, friend solitude,
pillow companion
in the long winter nights
of those difficult moments
that life gives us
and that nobody wants to listen to.

---------

I hope that one day
joy returns to me
and I can go through life
without stopping smiling.

But even if everything changes
and I manage to be reborn
whenever I need you
I will take refuge in you.

Because as a child you welcomed me
and you were always faithful to me:
the warmth that you gave me
shaped my way of being.

Chorus

Amiga Soledad

Charming Prince

"Death Only Sparkles" by The Dark Messiahs takes dark jazz to the edges of an atmospheric abyss. Sticks Thompson’s drums create an ominous pulse, while Wilt Flowers' bass rumbles like distant thunder. Guy Stansfield’s clarinet and Blue Six’s trumpet weave ghostly, plaintive melodies through the shadows. Sonny Rhodes' piano and keyboards balance the jazz core with eerie dark synth textures and unsettling sound effects, conjuring a soundscape where beauty flickers like light on broken glass. This is jazz reimagined for the noir future.

Death Only Sparkles [Dark Jazz | Doom Jazz]

This remastered album is the musical journey accompanying the harrowing events of Book 3 of "Hinter uns das Land" ("Behind Us The Land"), a poignant novel by Frank Talmon l'Armée. As the war closes in, the Feyerabend family, along with countless others, is forced to make the heart-wrenching decision to flee their beloved home in East Prussia. This collection of 16 tracks captures the emotional turmoil and the perilous journey that unfolds, painting a vivid sonic picture of a family caught in the midst of historical upheaval.

Book 3 plunges the listener into the chaos and fear of the final days of the war in East Prussia. The once-familiar streets of Danzig (now Gdańsk) become a haunting labyrinth of desperation and uncertainty as Inge and her family navigate the treacherous path to the harbor. The music reflects the growing tension, the ever-present threat, and the agonizing choices forced upon those seeking refuge. You will sense in the music the desperation of many refugees, but also their determination to survive.

The journey culminates in the boarding of the "Lappland," a vessel overflowing with refugees, all carrying their own stories of loss and hope. As the ship embarks across the vast and unforgiving Baltic Sea, the music evokes the vastness of the ocean, the precariousness of their situation, and the uncertain future that awaits them. You can hear in the sounds the inner turmoil of the characters: the children who do not yet fully comprehend what is happening and the adults who try to hold on to hope in the face of unimaginable fear.

From haunting melodies that echo the emptiness of a lost home to surging orchestrations that mirror the turbulent sea, this soundtrack captures the full spectrum of human emotion in times of war. Moments of quiet reflection are interspersed with powerful, driving rhythms, reflecting the resilience and determination of those who refuse to give up hope, although they know their lives will never be the same.

This musical collection offers a unique and immersive experience, drawing the listener deeper into the world of "Hinter uns das Land." It's a testament to the enduring power of family, the unwavering human spirit, and the search for peace amidst the ravages of war.

AMONG THORNS

Verse 1 

I walked through fields I didn’t own
Scattering dreams like seeds I’d sown
Never looking where they’d land
Chasing shadows through the sand

The sun was warm, the sky was wide
But whispers echoed deep inside
A gentle voice I couldn’t hear
Through the noise of every fear

Chorus 

Among thorns, my heart was hidden
Roots entangled, grace forbidden
But even where the wild winds blow
Your mercy found the seeds below
Among thorns… You didn’t turn away
You stayed… and cleared the way

Verse 2 

The years grew thick like brambles deep
Promises I failed to keep
Worries bloomed like weeds in spring
Crowding out Your everything

I tried to cut them on my own
But every thorn had wrapped a stone
I knelt in dust, too weak to stand
And felt You take me by the hand

Chorus 

Among thorns, my heart was hidden
Roots entangled, grace forbidden
But even where the wild winds blow
Your mercy found the seeds below
Among thorns… You didn’t turn away
You stayed… and cleared the way

Bridge 

(Instrumental can swell here)
You pulled the thorns that held me down
Poured Your rain upon this ground
And in the place where weeds had grown
A garden bloomed that You made Your own

Final Chorus 

Among thorns, You still were near
Planting hope where I sowed fear
Where the world would only see decay
Your light broke through the clay
Among thorns… You turned it all around
New life from hardened ground

(soft piano, cello, vocal close)
Among thorns… You stayed…
And made a garden where I strayed.

AMONG THORNS

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.

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. 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.

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.
