This remastered album is the musical journey accompanying the harrowing events of Book 3 of "Hinter uns das Land" ("Behind Us The Land"), a poignant novel by Frank Talmon l'Armée. As the war closes in, the Feyerabend family, along with countless others, is forced to make the heart-wrenching decision to flee their beloved home in East Prussia. This collection of 16 tracks captures the emotional turmoil and the perilous journey that unfolds, painting a vivid sonic picture of a family caught in the midst of historical upheaval.

Book 3 plunges the listener into the chaos and fear of the final days of the war in East Prussia. The once-familiar streets of Danzig (now Gdańsk) become a haunting labyrinth of desperation and uncertainty as Inge and her family navigate the treacherous path to the harbor. The music reflects the growing tension, the ever-present threat, and the agonizing choices forced upon those seeking refuge. You will sense in the music the desperation of many refugees, but also their determination to survive.

The journey culminates in the boarding of the "Lappland," a vessel overflowing with refugees, all carrying their own stories of loss and hope. As the ship embarks across the vast and unforgiving Baltic Sea, the music evokes the vastness of the ocean, the precariousness of their situation, and the uncertain future that awaits them. You can hear in the sounds the inner turmoil of the characters: the children who do not yet fully comprehend what is happening and the adults who try to hold on to hope in the face of unimaginable fear.

From haunting melodies that echo the emptiness of a lost home to surging orchestrations that mirror the turbulent sea, this soundtrack captures the full spectrum of human emotion in times of war. Moments of quiet reflection are interspersed with powerful, driving rhythms, reflecting the resilience and determination of those who refuse to give up hope, although they know their lives will never be the same.

This musical collection offers a unique and immersive experience, drawing the listener deeper into the world of "Hinter uns das Land." It's a testament to the enduring power of family, the unwavering human spirit, and the search for peace amidst the ravages of war.

Epilogue: A New Place Called Home

Description:
This piece is the emotional epilogue to the transmedia novel "Hinter uns das Land" ("The Land Behind Us"). Like the final, quiet scene of a play, it offers a moment of reflection after the journey's end. It's the musical answer to a lifelong question: Where is home when the world you knew is gone?

The lyrics, "Now I’ve found a new place called home / In the heart / Where love has grown," are the resolution, sung from a place of hard-won peace.

Musical Atmosphere:
The arrangement unfolds not like an overture, but like a final, gentle curtain call. A delicate acoustic guitar arpeggio provides the foundation, like a steady heartbeat. A lyrical flute melody weaves in, reminiscent of a distant memory. Soft harp glissandi add a sense of grace and closure, while the warm, sustaining tones of the French horn offer deep comfort. The oboe enters with a poignant counter-melody, speaking of wisdom earned through sorrow, and the violin adds the final, expressive sweeps of emotion. Together, they create a chamber-like tapestry that feels less like a beginning and more like a soft, settling silence—the sound of acceptance after a long struggle.

This is the final musical statement, composed to leave the listener with a sense of closure and quiet strength.

Epilog: Ein Ort namens Heimat

Beschreibung:
Dieses Stück ist der emotionale Epilog zum Transmedia-Roman "Hinter uns das Land". Wie die letzte, stille Szene eines Theaterstücks bietet es einen Moment der Reflexion, nachdem die Reise längst gegangen ist. Es ist die musikalische Antwort auf eine lebenslange Frage: Wo ist Heimat, wenn die Welt, die man kannte, fort ist?

Die Zeilen "Now I’ve found a new place called home / In the heart / Where love has grown" (Nun habe ich einen neuen Ort namens Zuhause gefunden / Im Herzen / Wo Liebe gewachsen ist) sind die Auflösung, gesungen aus einem Ort des erkämpften Friedens.

Musikalische Atmosphäre:
Das Arrangement entfaltet sich nicht wie eine Ouvertüre, sondern wie ein letzter, sanfter Vorhang. Ein zartes Akustikgitarren-Arpeggio bildet das Fundament, einem gleichmäßigen Herzschlag gleich. Eine lyrische Flötenmelodie spinnt sich ein, gleich einer fernen Erinnerung. Sanfte Harfenklänge verleihen ein Gefühl von Anmut und Abschluss, während die warmen, haltenden Töne des French Horns tiefen Trost spenden. Die Oboe setzt mit einer ergreifenden Gegenmelodie ein, die von einer durch Leid errungenen Weisheit erzählt, und die Geige fügt die letzten, ausdrucksstarken Emotionen hinzu. Gemeinsam weben sie einen kammermusikalischen Teppich, der sich nicht wie ein Anfang, sondern wie eine sanft sich setzende Stille anfühlt – der Klang der Annahme nach einem langen Kampf.

Dies ist die letzte musikalische Aussage, komponiert, um den Hörer mit einem Gefühl des Abschlusses und stiller Stärke zurückzulassen.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I lost so much
I can't deny
War tried to break me
I asked why
Tears fell like rivers
Never dry

[Pre-Chorus]
But through the ashes
I could see
A spark of light that set me free

[Chorus]
Now I’ve found a new place called home
In the heart
Where love has grown
Looking back
It was all good
Didn’t know it
But I understood
Strength was waiting
All along

[Verse 2]
Scars tell a story
Lines on my skin
Each one a battle I fought within
The end was a start
Not where I’d been

[Pre-Chorus]
Through the shadows
Through the fight
I built a world from shattered light

[Chorus]
Now I’ve found a new place called home
In the heart
Where love has grown
Looking back
It was all good
Didn’t know it
But I understood
Strength was waiting
All along

Ця українська версія пісні «Епілог: Місце, що зветься дім» – це подарунок від усього серця українському народу.

Роман «Hinter uns das Land» («Земля позаду нас») заснований на реальній історії моєї матері, яка втекла зі Східної Пруссії під час Другої світової війни. Ця книга розповідає про світ, зруйнований війною, і про довгі пошуки нового дому. На жаль, ця історія – не лише минувшина. Сьогодні вона повторюється.

Я створив цю адаптацію як жест солідарності та співпереживання. Послання цієї пісні – про те, що навіть після глибокої втрати новий дім можна знайти в своєму серці, де росте любов – це мій скромний внесок, щоб подарувати вам надію та силу. Це нагадування про те, що ви не самотні у своїй боротьбі, і що здатність людського духу до зцілення та відбудови – безмежна.

Сила чекала на вас увесь цей час.
Слава Україні.

This Ukrainian version of "Epilogue: A Place Called Home" is a gift from the heart. It is dedicated to the courage and resilience of the Ukrainian people.

The novel "Hinter uns das Land" ("The Land Behind Us") is based on my mother's true story of flight and loss from East Prussia during World War II. It tells of a world shattered by war and the lifelong search for a new home. Tragically, this story is not just history. Today, it repeats itself.

I created this Ukrainian adaptation as a gesture of solidarity and empathy. The song's message – that even after profound loss, a new home can be found within the heart where love grows – is my humble offering of hope and strength. It is a reminder that you are not alone in your struggle, and that the human spirit's capacity to heal and rebuild is boundless.

The strength was waiting all along.

[Verse 1]
Я втратив все,
Це правда, так.
Біль війни ламав
Мене вщент.
Сльози, мов ріка,
Лились вкрай.

[Pre-Chorus]
Та крізь попіл
Бачив я
Світла іскра звільнила.

[Chorus]
Я знайшов собі новий дім,
У серці,
Де любов є.
Дивлюсь назад –
Все на краще.
Я не знав це,
Та я збагнув все.
Сила чекала
Увесь час.

[Verse 2]
Шрами – це повість
На тілі моїм.
Кожен – це битва, що в серці гримить.
Кінець став початком
Нових доріг.

[Pre-Chorus]
Крізь тіні всі,
Крізь битви,
Я звів світ з уламків світла.

[Chorus]
Я знайшов собі новий дім,
У серці,
Де любов є.
Дивлюсь назад –
Все на краще.
Я не знав це,
Та я збагнув все.
Сила чекала
Увесь час.
