An 8-minute epic about the fragments of memory. "Half a Smile Left" is a centerpiece from the concept album "Adelheide's Wisdom."

Inspired by the image of a burnt group photograph, the song explores the bittersweet tragedy of an incomplete past—a half-smile that is both a precious treasure and an open wound.

Musically, the song is a unique fusion: a powerful rock ballad whose fragile verses evoke a baroque minuet. Delicate, harpsichord-like guitar melodies, an oboe, and strings meet a massive, emotional chorus and a dramatic climax that pushes genre boundaries.

A monumental soundscape that tells a story of loss, defiance, and the indestructible power of what remains in the heart. A song destined to conjure a sea of glowing lighters and cell phones at a live concert.

Ein 8-minütiges Epos über die Fragmente der Erinnerung. "Half a Smile Left" ist ein zentraler Song aus dem Konzeptalbum "Adelheide's Wisdom".

Inspiriert vom Bild eines verbrannten Gruppenfotos, erkundet der Song die bittersüße Tragik einer unvollständigen Vergangenheit – ein halbes Lächeln, das zugleich ein kostbarer Schatz und eine offene Wunde ist.

Musikalisch ist der Song eine einzigartige Fusion: eine kraftvolle Rockballade, deren zerbrechliche Strophen an ein barockes Menuett erinnern. Zarte, cembalo-ähnliche Gitarrenmelodien, eine Oboe und Streicher treffen auf einen wuchtigen, emotionalen Refrain und einen dramatischen Ausbruch, der die Grenzen des Genres sprengt.

Ein monumentales Klanggemälde, das von Verlust, Trotz und der unzerstörbaren Kraft dessen erzählt, was im Herzen bleibt. Ein Song, der live ein Meer aus leuchtenden Feuerzeugen und Handys heraufbeschwören würde.

Half A Smile Left -  extended Version

Title: From The Broken Stone - A Progressive Rock Suite

Take your time. Take a deep breath. What awaits you is not just a song, but a 20-minute musical journey—an epic in four acts about the indestructible human spirit.

"From The Broken Stone" tells the story of a legacy that was never planned, but born from the cracks of the past. It begins with a whispered nightmare, journeys through a cinematic rock ballad filled with pain and hope, culminates in a cathartic instrumental storm, and finally finds peace in a reconciliatory, orchestral epilogue. It is a narrative of how the deepest wounds can become windows, and how new hope can grow from the rubble of a life.

This work would not have been possible without the pioneers of epic, narrative rock. It is a deep and respectful homage to the musical vision of bands like Deep Purple (for the soulful Hammond organ and explosive dynamics), Manfred Mann's Earth Band (for the sound-painting synthesizers and anthemic choruses), and Marillion (for the courage to tell complex, suite-like stories).

This epic does not attempt to copy them, but to honor their spirit: the spirit of a music that takes its time, that delves deep, and that takes the listener on a journey from which they return changed. We invite you to embark on this journey.

Titel: From The Broken Stone - A Progressive Rock Suite

Nehmen Sie sich Zeit. Atmen Sie tief durch. Was Sie hier erwartet, ist kein einfacher Song, sondern eine 20-minütige musikalische Reise – ein Epos in vier Akten über den unzerstörbaren menschlichen Geist.

"From The Broken Stone" ist die Geschichte eines Vermächtnisses, das nicht geplant, sondern aus den Rissen der Vergangenheit geboren wurde. Es beginnt mit einem geflüsterten Albtraum, durchquert eine cineastische Rockballade voller Schmerz und Hoffnung, gipfelt in einem kathartischen Instrumentalsturm und findet schließlich Frieden in einem versöhnlichen, orchestralen Epilog. Es ist eine Erzählung darüber, wie die tiefsten Wunden zu Fenstern werden können und wie aus dem Schutt des Lebens neue Hoffnung wächst.

Dieses Werk wäre nicht möglich gewesen ohne die Pioniere des epischen, erzählerischen Rocks. Es ist eine tiefe und respektvolle Hommage an die musikalische Weitsicht von Bands wie Deep Purple (für die seelenvolle Hammond-Orgel und die explosive Dynamik), Manfred Mann's Earth Band (für die klangmalerischen Synthesizer und die hymnenhaften Refrains) und Marillion (für den Mut, komplexe, suitenartige Geschichten zu erzählen).

Dieses Epos versucht nicht, sie zu kopieren, sondern ihren Geist zu ehren: Den Geist einer Musik, die sich Zeit nimmt, die in die Tiefe geht und die den Hörer auf eine Reise mitnimmt, von der er verändert zurückkehrt. Wir laden Sie ein, sich auf diese Reise einzulassen.

Special Release: As the Kids Say, “Relatable” (With Guest, Una McCormack)

This is part of the Parallel Tales Soundtrack, and features three characters from the story: Thaddeus Fletcher, Anatolio Corelli, and Luvio Sterling.

We had a blast working on this with you, Bruce! Thanks for joining us!

The man with the red hair is Thaddeus, the man in the middle is Anatolio, and the man on the right is Luvio.

Bruce Parsons parts: Cellos, Moog Bass, Violins, Mills Piano, Serge Analogue Synthesizer @blankreg

Parallel Tales is an upcoming fantasy novel to start with, later on, hopefully a radio play and eventually a game by Masha Solo and Rob Ulysses.

We hope you enjoy the listen, and thanks for stopping by!

Welcome to our SoundCloud profile! Here you'll find a unique collection of songs inspired by the novel "Hinter uns das Land" / "Behind Us The Land" by Frank Talmon l'Armée. This epic story follows the Feyerabend family through the tumultuous years of World War II and its aftermath in East Prussia.

The music reflects the diverse experiences of the characters, capturing the emotions, atmospheres, and locations of the book.

We, Beyond & Before Music, bring a deep understanding of music and its impact, drawing on a background as a former DJ and organizer of rock concerts. To bring this ambitious project to life, we embraced modern technologies, including AI-assisted music generation, and refined the results with professional audio software. The lyrics, inspired by the content and moods of the novel, were developed and adapted by Frank Talmon l'Armée.

While we utilize AI as a creative tool, our focus remains on the emotional core of the story and the power of music to connect with listeners. We believe in transparency and want to acknowledge the role of AI in this project.

Explore the musical soul of "Hinter uns das Land" / "Behind Us The Land" and accompany the Feyerabend family on their journey through hardship, hope, and resilience.
