'Please won't you tell me a story
of when, you we're little
Like me, when you ran with the breeze'

Your children will love to hear all your stories of when you were a kid.  They will ask you to tell them over and over.  These stories will be how the people you love remember you.  As long as someone carries that story into the future, and as long as people care, your stories are immortal.  Stories escape death.  That's why the stories you tell yourself about yourself really fucking matter.

All I Have

Lights Down Low

April 1945: The first days of exile in Denmark. This song captures the limbo between memory and uncertainty – whispers of a lost homeland carried by fragile piano and ghostly hip-hop rhythms.

Taken from the prologue of book four of Hinter uns das Land (Frank Talmon l'Armée), where war-scarred refugees stand on foreign soil, clutching fragments of their past. The snow has stopped falling, but the cold remains.

A prelude to the Versions of Exile EP – musical echoes of displacement.

April 1945: Die ersten Tage im dänischen Exil. Dieser Song fängt die Schwebe zwischen Erinnerung und Ungewissheit ein – geflüsterte Fragmente der Heimat, getragen von zerbrechlichem Klavier und gespenstischen HipHop-Rhythmen.

Entstanden aus dem Prolog des Buchs vier von Hinter uns das Land, wo kriegsversehrte Flüchtlinge auf fremdem Boden stehen, die Trümmer ihrer Vergangenheit in Händen. Der Schnee fällt nicht mehr, aber die Kälte bleibt.

Vorgeschmack auf die EP Versionen des Exils – musikalische Echos der Entwurzelung.

Take Me

Verse 1:
Take me with you, I’ll leave it all behind
Disposable kingdom, I’ll burn it down tonight
There’s nothing left for me, here, without you in my life
Without, you are my life

Pre-Chorus:
Our souls, forever intertwined
You are the only thing that’s real

Chorus
I’m trapped inside my mind
Drowning in my lies, your shadow draws the line
I don’t have what it takes to say goodbye

Verse 2:
Take me with you, I’ll wait eternity
My paper heart, the holes you’ve ripped in me
I’m lost unto the wind
Forgiveness not forget
Do you ever think of me, am I alone in this illusion

Pre-Chorus
Our souls, continue to unwind
Were you, ever really mine

Chorus
I’m trapped inside my mind
Drowning in my lies, your shadow draws the line
I don’t have what it takes to say goodbye

Take Me

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 WILL CATCH YOU WHEN YOU FALL, YOU CAN (CALL ON ME)

My Name is Evelyn Lee Castro I go by the Artist name E.L. Castro. I say I’m the REAL E.L.Castro lol because it’s my full name. I was Born to 2 Drug Abusers in the Bronx NY. Because of the situation I was born into I was bounced around from house to house growing up. I Never got a chance to really know my family. I’ve been on my own since I was young, I spent a big chunk of my life Harrisburg Pa. And then another in Atlantic City NJ. I’ve always I loved to make music, it has taken me a very long time to get my thoughts together to heal from my experiences and my struggles. I sing and rap about my own  personal life experiences. I am a mother of 3. I wrote all of my music. I like to think of myself as a Great Writer. I also made/ produced a couple of beats. I am Proud to be able to finally share my art with the world. I have feared what people would think and say about me. I feared being made fun of because of the things I think and as a result I write and record. It was difficult to let go of those feelings and thoughts of insecurity. But I finally did it Bitches …….. I have been making it my business to write and record a song a day. I can literally hear a beat/ instrumental and if I’m inspired by it I can write a song in minutes. I only use beats I’m inspired by. Because then it’s easy to think of some lyrics. I use my phone to record and my laptop. I am the Number 22. I am the Master Builder.

I WILL CATCH YOU WHEN YOU FALL, YOU CAN (CALL ON ME)
