Crikey. You’ve got the whole soundtrack to a movie here! Sounds like a western to me. Those reoccurring flutes are lovely and the deeply resonant guitar. The different tempos are terrific - and of course necessary. As usual the two main vocals are terrific. Wow…. Quite a piece of work!

wow, there's suddenly some distortion, and i really like it!

Whoa!  I wasn't expecting that transition.  Pretty cool how you did that.

Ótima introdução. Gostei bastante da parte instrumental.

Very cool music. Engaging, excellent and exquisite sequences

love the drama and flow from light to heavy

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

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.

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 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.

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