Lyrics

Verse 1:
I met him back in 1982
And right away he suggested something I ought to do 
It was a workshop he said was something to behold
It was important to do before I got old
Thats how I got to know Jimmy McGee
He made a pretty big impression on me

Verse 2:
Transformation was the workshop theme
All I remember, it was pretty extreme
When it was over  you were meant to tell the world
To come and join the transformation team
That’s where Jimmy’s talent shone through 
I watched him invite everybody he knew 

Chorus:
Jimmy’d say:
You should try it
You’re going to love it
It changed my life and it’ll change yours too
It’s remarkable, extraordinary
It’s something that I really think you ought to do

Verse 3:
I tried a lotta things cuz Jimmy ecouraged me
Like yoga, pilates and homeopathy
Accupuncture, Rajneesh and meditation
And some other things that I probly shouldn’t mention
Most everything I’ve ever done to fix up my life
Were the result of Jimmy’s advice

Bridge:
Jimmy’s been searching all of his days
For ways to change the world in significant ways
He was clear that job will never get done
Unless he shares his insights with everyone 
	
Verse 4:
Sometimes I listened to what Jimmy suggested
I’ll try it out at least once or twice
Then I’d come by to tell him that he’d made a difference
And thank him for his advice
He’ll say thanks but that was so yesterday
Let me tell you what I’m in to today

Chorus:
Jimmy’d say:
You should try it
You’re going to love it
It changed my life and it’ll change yours too
It’s remarkable, extraordinary
It’s something that I really think you ought to do

Verse 5:
These days Jimmy’s over 80 years old
You'd think that he would finally start to slow down
But if anything it looks as though he’s just got started
Still getting excited about ideas he's found
Now he swears that he's finally discovered the way
To make being old seem almost Ok

Chorus:
Jimmy’d say:
You should try it
You’re going to love it
It changed my life and it’ll change yours too
It’s remarkable, extraordinary
It’s something that I really think you ought to do

Jimmy McGee

You Should Try It

Hi there! I’m Martin Kasaros, a keyboardist from Latvia. I create electronic music in various genres, including acid techno, minimal techno, ambient house, outsider house, electronica chilena, and ambient.
My message to all artists: Keep creating, keep inspiring, and let’s feed each other’s dreams!

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.

Ein Romanepos. Ein Klanguniversum. Eine wahre Geschichte.

Willkommen im Klang-Universum von "Hinter uns das Land". Was als Soundtrack zu einem epischen historischen Roman begann, hat sich zu einem globalen, genre-übergreifenden Musikphänomen entwickelt, das von Millionen von Hörern und einer weltweiten Community von Künstlern gefeiert wird.

Entdecken Sie die verschiedenen Welten innerhalb dieses Projekts:

Den offiziellen Soundtrack zur 80-jährigen, wahren Saga der Familie Feyerabend.

Den epischen Progressive Metal der virtuellen Band Adelheide's Wisdom.

Den chartstürmenden Indie-Pop der virtuellen Künstlerin Ulla F.

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.

Dies ist ein Ort für anspruchsvolle Hörer, für Fans von epischen Geschichten und genre-sprengender Musik. Tauchen Sie ein, erforschen Sie die Alben und Playlists und werden Sie Teil einer Geschichte, die die Vergangenheit mit der Zukunft verbindet.

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.

"Be excellent to each other". 

Electronica fans with a bit of acoustic thrown in. Open to everything - into it all! Influenced by early 80's synth, more recent indie, ambient & trip hop beats.

I’m a bedroom producer with a passion for progressive house. From my home setup, I craft emotional soundscapes meant to connect on a deeper level. Every track tells a story—something real, something felt. If you're looking for electronic music with soul, welcome to my world. 🌌

All you need to know about Aedos, it's that we live Nowhere... Yes, Nowhere, but behind a Waterfall...

Progressive Art Musician for Aedos Cluster of the Waterfall and Labobros. Director for the new web series called Rompecabezas/Puzzle. Artist for Rhoon Records

I am a music producer, mixer and sound editor with over 15 years of experience. I work with Cubase 12 Pro to bring your musical and sound ideas to life. From ambient sounds to background music for videos, video game sound effects and song mixing, I can make your projects sound amazing.

Former guitarist-composer of the band ANIMO, here are some songs I wrote along the way. No AI and no fake singer.

I've been playing music for a while now and since corona I've invested my time in learning to produce. And it became incredibly addictive. I hope you guys like my music and feedback is always welcome!

I write songs.  I'm not a performer any more than I need to be to have my songs heard once in a while. I hope that better musicians than I encounter my songs and decide to play them.  I just write songs to have them exist in the world. If the world likes them then the world can do with them what it will.  All these recordings are demos.  I've tried to make them as musically interesting as I can but they are all awaiting the skilled hand of someone who knows how to make songs shine.
