Call in Sick

A heartfelt song of heartbreak and lost love. Performed live at The Oxford Poetry Circle on 30.10.24, the song explores what happens when two people in love grow apart and change as individuals - sometimes irreversibly

The Final Showdown

Can you feel your heart beating in anticipation?

Affair of the Heart

This is the overture to a journey. The first chapter of a story told in symphony and steel. Welcome to THE OPERA OF ADELHEIDE AND HER HEALING WISDOMS.

"Four Corners of Loss" is the moment of the gathering. Four strangers—two women, two men—arrive from the ends of the map, drawn together by an unspoken grief. Each carries a relic of their past: a key to a house that no longer exists; a picture, burned and torn apart; a father's watch whose hands are frozen in time; a mother's book with pages soaked in tears. They meet in a place where the compass is broken and secrets hide in plain sight.

This track is the first single from a full, four-act Symphonic Metal Opera. It's an epic tale that explores the weight of memory, the burden of unspoken words, and the arduous path toward collective healing. It asks the question: Can our deepest wounds become the source of our greatest strength?

A fusion of crushing metal riffs, soaring orchestral arrangements, and theatrical, narrative vocals creates a cinematic soundscape for a story of loss and redemption.

You are hearing the very beginning. This is the first step in a larger release strategy that will unfold act by act. Follow Beyond & Before Music to experience the full story and discover how the light returns.

Dies ist die Ouvertüre zu einer Reise. Das erste Kapitel einer Geschichte, erzählt mit symphonischer Wucht und stählerner Härte. Willkommen zu THE OPERA OF ADELHEIDE AND HER HEALING WISDOMS.

"Four Corners of Loss" ist der Moment des Sammelns. Vier Fremde – zwei Männer und zwei Frauen – finden von den Enden der Landkarte zusammen, vereint durch eine unausgesprochene Trauer. Jeder von ihnen trägt ein Relikt seiner Vergangenheit: einen Schlüssel zu einem Haus, das nicht mehr existiert; ein verbranntes, zerrissenes Bild; die Uhr eines Vaters, deren Zeiger in der Zeit eingefroren sind; das Buch einer Mutter, dessen Seiten von Tränen getränkt sind. Sie treffen sich an einem Ort, an dem der Kompass zerbrochen ist und Geheimnisse sich offen verbergen.

Dieser Song ist die erste Single aus einer vollständigen, vieraktigen Symphonic Metal Oper. Es ist eine epische Erzählung über das Gewicht der Erinnerung, die Last ungesagter Worte und den steinigen Weg zur kollektiven Heilung. Die Oper stellt die Frage: Können unsere tiefsten Wunden zur Quelle unserer größten Stärke werden?

Eine Fusion aus brachialen Metal-Riffs, opulenten Orchester-Arrangements und theatralischem, narrativem Gesang erschafft eine cineastische Klanglandschaft für eine Geschichte über Verlust und Erlösung.

Du hörst hier den allerersten Anfang. Dies ist der erste Schritt einer größeren Veröffentlichungsstrategie, die sich Akt für Akt entfalten wird. Folge Beyond & Before Music, um die ganze Geschichte mitzuerleben und zu entdecken, wie das Licht zurückkehrt.

Four Corners of Loss

This is a reworking of a older folk song of mine as rock and roll.  I think it works better like this.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Looked mighty fine, couldn't help but see
How bout that? she's looking back at me
Ignorant, lonely, I was all of that stuff
She smiled at me, that was enough
We gave it time, we had some fun
Decided she should be my only one
Screwed up my nerve, decided to ask her
Knew that we'd be happy         ever after

Chorus:
I couldn't have been more mistaken
I was travelling a road I never should have taken
it's my own damn fault that my heart is breaking
I'm Never going to do it again

Verse 2:
Fake it 'till you make it, they said to me
Never pass up an opportunity
The point of the process is how much you can make
It's a zero sum game a little give a lot of take
Get a lot of money then make a little more
After all it's only a way of keepin' score
Gonna find  my happiness in wealth and fame
Going figure out the rules of the game

Chorus:
I couldn't have been more mistaken
I was travelling a road I never should have taken
I see what I did and my confidence is shaken
I'm Never going to do it again

Bridge:
Mistakes are made
Life's like that
but mostly we recover 
we find our way back
But you never know
if one day or another
we'll screw up so bad 
we never recover

Verse 4:
Uncovered this stuff, burned real good
Used it to power anything we could
It looked to be something that could satisfy
A hunger for power that would - never run  dry
All we had to do was drill and dig
Power would be cheap, profits would be big
We'll never have to worry about expenses
Cuz there'd never be any consequences

Chorus:
We couldn't have been more mistaken
We're travelling a road We never should have taken
it's our own damn fault that our world is breaking
We're Never going to do it again


Couldn't Have Been

Through rips in space and time, I have found you
No eclipse can hide the light that surrounds you
