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

The Lessons Learned

In The Shade Of The Oak (Radio Version)

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.

Im Herzen ist 'Hinter uns das Land' mehr als nur die 80-jährige Geschichte einer deutschen Familie.

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.
