Flaming Bess are releasing a new album, WRINKLE OF TIME
The band: "Our final and best work".

It all began in 1969 when the rock band Flaming Bess got together in Düsseldorf. With the great successes of "Tanz der Götter" (1979) and "Verlorene Welt" (1981), the career of the musicians really took off. Since then, Flaming Bess have produced five more albums. With their album "Der gefallene Stern" the band had again a strong and positive response in the trade press in 2013; the loyal fan community was simply thrilled.
The band then very consciously took their time to compose twelve convincing songs for their current album: The new songs on „WRINKLE OF TIME“ are complex and therefore needed time to grow - they are journeys into the world of Flaming Bess , journeys with plenty of depth and surprising twists.
In the title song WRINKLE OF TIME, the band's history is told in a metaphorical way: "Now here we are again at the end of an age..." This time, the lyrical and musical concept which is typical for Flaming Bess is also a retrospective of everything that was, in what has happened over the past decades, which is what the band is emotionally concerned with today.
Flaming Bess put a lot of heart and soul into their current project: "We gave everything until our souls were dry..." - and that's unmistakable.
The new album is rounded off by a 24-page booklet with very personal lyrics - and of course everything in a high-quality presentation. It describes the band's history and documents statements by individual band members about the process of creating their latest album. The result is a document of decades of deep friendship and intense collaboration between Flaming Bess: 
"In our hearts we decided, we will never be divided".
In any case, WRINKLE OF TIME is a MUST for all friends of melodic, progressive Rockmusic

Flaming Bess - Wrinkle Of Time

Music Written & Performed by Rosanne Baker Thornley | North Easton

She was just a little girl
With her fingers tightly curled
Around her daddy’s every time he went away
And when the tears came pouring in
He’d take his hand and lift her chin
He’d smile into her eyes and then he’d say 

Look up, I’m gonna be back here real soon
Look up, we’ll share that big ol’ moon
It don’t matter where we are
We’ll always have those stars 
Everything will be ok if you
Look up

She was barely 17
WIth a suitcase full of dreams
They were quiet on the drive to catch the train
It was hard to say goodbye
She’d never seen her daddy cry
She fell into his arms and heard him say

Look up, you’re gonna be back here real soon
Look up, we’ll share that big old moon
It don’t matter where we  are
We’ll always have those stars 
Everything will be ok if you
Look up, Look up

All the years they went by fast
Each one better than the last
And every moment big and small
She really had it all
Then she got the call 

Black umbrellas in the rain
The teardrops on her face
She lifts her daughter’s chin and says 

Look up, it’s gonna be ok real soon
Look up, we’ll share that big ol’ moon
It don’t matter where we are
We’ll always have those stars
And everything will be ok if you
Everything will be ok if you
Oh everything will be ok if you

Look up, Look up, Look up, Look up

LOOK UP

Lyric after translation:

"Close the door"

Do you think that someday the day will come
to say it straight to ourselves, yes, I'll do it
To not hesitate, shift into second gear
Do you think it can succeed?

One thought, to get up and go,
but not today, not yet today

Close the door and don't look back,
just run, somewhere ahead,
hide the shame and throw away the key
never go back, to those storms

Do you think it will be so bad
when you forget what I don't want to remember
so that closed doors won't open anymore
Do you think that day is just around the corner?

One thought, to get up and go,
but not today, not yet today

Close the door and don't look back,
just run, somewhere ahead,
hide the shame and throw away the key
never go back, to those storms

It tempts so much, the taste of those thoughts
maybe finally just do it like that

Close the door and don't look back,
just run, somewhere ahead,
hide the shame and throw away the key
never go back, to those storms

Close the door.

Mit WRINKLE OF TIME veröffentlichen Flaming Bess ein neues Album – den Aussagen der Bandmitgliedern nach ihr abschließendes und bestes Werk.

Alles begann mit der Gründung im Jahr 1969 und nahm mit dem großen Überraschungserfolg von „Tanz der Götter“ (1979) und „Verlorene Welt“ (1981) richtig Fahrt auf. Seitdem haben Flaming Bess fünf weitere Alben produziert und hatten 2013 mit dem Album „Der gefallene Stern“ erneut eine starke positive Resonanz in der Fachpresse und von der treuen Fangemeinschaft.

In den zurückliegenden Jahren hat die Band sich viel Zeit gelassen, 12 einzigartige Songs für ihr neues Album zu komponieren. Die Songs auf WRINKLE OF TIME sind vielschichtig und ausgereift – es sind Reisen in die Welt von Flaming Bess. Reisen mit reichlich Tiefgang und überraschenden Wendungen.

Im Titelsong WRINKLE OF TIME wird zwischen den Zeilen die Bandgeschichte auf metaphorische Weise erzählt: „Now here we are again at the end of an age…“
So ist auch das für Flaming Bess typisch lyrische und musikalische Konzept dieses Mal eine Retrospektive auf all das, was schon geschehen ist.

In dieses Projekt haben Flaming Bess ihr Herzblut gesteckt: „We gave everything until our souls were dry…“ und das ist unüberhörbar.

Abgerundet wird das Album mit einem sehr persönlichen 24-seitigen Booklet und einer hochwertigen Aufmachung. Es enthält sowohl die Bandgeschichte als auch Statements der Bandmitglieder über den Entstehungsprozess des Albums und die jahrzehntelange tiefe Freundschaft und Zusammenarbeit als Flaming Bess.
„In our hearts we decided, we will never be devided“

WRINKLE OF TIME ist in jedem Fall ein MUSS für Feunde melodiöser, progressiver Rockmusik.

Wrinkle Of Time

This is an exciting 2023 re-imagined cover of one of my all-time favorite songs, originally written and recorded by the legendary John Hiatt. Hiatt's exceptional songwriting prowess and masterful performance have always captivated me. His powerful voice is both awe-inspiring and incredibly versatile. With my rendition of this remarkable song, I aim to pay homage to Hiatt's talent while adding my own artistic interpretation.

In this version, I have focused on enhancing my vocal and piano performance, aiming to bring out the profound emotions embedded in the lyrics. I believe this re-do of my original cover showcases noticeable improvements, particularly in terms of conveying the heartfelt sentiments that resonate within the lyrics and powerful music. I hope that my tribute does justice to this exceptional song and the incredible vocalist behind it.

TLT Cover - John Hiatt - Have A Little Faith In Me - 2023

"Shadows of Dawn" erzählt die fiktive Geschichte des Mädchens Dawn. Dawn ist ein begabtes kleines Mädchen mit brilliantem Verstand das im Laufe seines Lebens aber immer mehr mit den Schatten des Alltags und zerstörten Träumen durch die äusseren Umstände zu kämpfen hat. 
Die Idee zum Song entstand während der Corona Pandemie welche besonders die Kinder und Jugendliche getroffen hat und immer noch trifft.
Lernprobleme, Depressionen, Einsamkeit und Verzweiflung, Psychosen wie Essstörungen oder fehlende soziale Kompetenzen greifen zunehmend um sich und legen einen Schatten über unsere Kinder und die Gesellschaft, machen uns anfällig für fake news und zunehmenden Hass auf alles um uns herum.. 
Wie so oft trifft es Kinder aus ärmeren Familien besonders hart: Kinder von Alleinerziehenden, aus Familien mit Migrationshintergrund, diejenigen, die in beengten Wohnverhältnissen leben oder psychisch belastete Eltern haben.
Im Song schafft es Dawn aber den Schatten zu entkommen und neue Hoffnung zu schöpfen. So steht sie auf und nimmt Ihr Schicksal selbst in die Hand. Wir wünschen uns das solche Beispiele auch im realen Leben häufiger werden und das die nächste Generation brilliant die notwendigen Schritte dafür geht.

Vielen Dank an Mike Hartman (vocals & lyrics Shadows of Dawn) 
Andres´ Rexach (guitars)
Markus Wierschem (vocals & lyrics Scrpitum Praeterita 1 )

Lyrics:

Baby I get it 
You made mistakes in the past that you regretted
You worried if I’ll judge you girl stop stressin 
You safe with me I promise you’re a blessing 

I ain’t gon say that I’m perfect 
I made mistakes too
And you say that you’re not worth it
I see the change in your mood
No matter how hard it can get
I won’t quit on you
I’ll be patient
Yeah I’m staying

Baby I get it 
You made mistakes in the past that you regretted
You worried if I’ll judge you girl stop stressin 
You safe with me I promise you’re a blessing 
A blessing

I’m an open book and you can turn the pages
Got some wear and tear
For what it’s worth I’ll let you take it
I just want us to help each other
Be supportive and honest lovers
Don’t be shy don’t be under cover 
Let me understand your struggle I get it

You made mistakes in the past that you regretted
You worried if I’ll judge you girl stop stressin 
You safe with me I promise you’re a blessing

Baby I get it 
You made mistakes in the past that you regretted
You worried if I’ll judge you girl stop stressin 
You safe with me I promise you’re a blessing 
A blessing
