In this song, I'm painting a picture of a world that's been ravaged by fire and destruction, forcing me to escape to the barren landscape of Mars. The lyrics are a reflection on the loss of the world I once knew, and the longing to reconnect with the Earth that's been left behind. I'm exploring the emotional toll of being a refugee in a desolate new world, and the memories of what once was, now shining like stars in the darkness.


[Verse 1]
On Mars
All I know
Dead sky
Frozen snow
Worlds burn
I escape
One light
Through the shade 

[Chorus]
Will I know the Earth again?
Fire turned her dark and red
Memories like stars
Shining from afar 

[Verse]
Mars cold
Still my heart
Faint echoes
Fill the dark
The sun
Comes to end
Last rays
Burn the land 

[Chorus]
Will I know the Earth again?
Fire turned her dark and red
Memories like stars
Shining from afar 

[Verse]
Cold and red
Will I know the Earth again?
Cold and red
Fire turned her dark and red 

[Chorus]
Will I know the Earth again?
Fire turned her dark and red
Memories like stars
Shining from afar

Dive into the compelling narrative of "So Here On Hela," a powerful track directly inspired by Frank Talmon l'Armée's poignant novel, Hinter uns das Land. This song evokes the chilling atmosphere and profound uncertainty experienced by refugees on the Hela coast. Having narrowly escaped the atrocities of Stutthof, they now face an agonizing wait for passage. This piece explores their emotional struggle, a poignant dance between the glimmer of hope for a new beginning and the deep-seated fear of what lies ahead. Available in four distinct arrangements—Musical, Film Score, Alternative Rock, and Experimental—each version offers a unique lens into their inner turmoil.

Quand la guerre pousse à l’action : l’histoire d’Ukrainian Voices

Welcome to Belonging and Beyond: Exploring Belonging Through How We Live and Die, brought to you by Princess Alice Hospice with your hosts Rach Basak, Head of Community Involvement and Support and Sarah Dowd, Head of Inclusion.

In this series, we’ll have honest conversations about inclusion, belonging, and the barriers created in society for some. Together with guests from all walks of life, we’ll be unpacking big questions like: What does belonging look like? Who gets to belong? And how can we build communities where everyone feels seen and included?

We are excited to be here and hope it sparks reflection, connection, and maybe even change.
Today, we’re highlighting the experiences of refugees and displaced people, emphasising the vital importance of belonging and the opportunity to contribute to society as part of their journey. 

We are joined by Nurettin, a trustee at Elmbridge CAN — a local charity doing incredible work to support refugees and asylum seekers here in our community. Nurettin has also generously offered to share his own lived experience, helping us understand the challenges and triumphs that come with building a sense of belonging in a new place. 

If you would like to share your thoughts, views or be part of Belonging and Beyond please do get in touch at sarahdowd@pah.org.uk  and rachaelbasak@pah.org.uk

My name is Hanna. I’m an artist, art therapist, and special education teacher. I’m Ukrainian and have been living in Estonia for three years now because of the war in Ukraine — it’s dangerous in my hometown, Kyiv.
I draw inspiration from the majesty of nature and from people whose words align with their actions.

My hobbies include collecting stones, playing the guitar, working with clay, and photography. I love gazing at the sky for a long time and feeling present in the moment.

Ep. 212: Hanna Davydova

U.S. aid cuts to Kenyan refugee camps under Trump have caused food shortages, education drops, and scarce sanitation, deepening hardship for displaced Black communities.

Trump Aid Slashes Devastate Kenya Refugees' Futures

I haven’t got a clue all that you’ve been through,
And even if I did, I’d still not know.
The risks you had to take, the price you paid for your mistakes.
The energy it took to make it go.
The time, the pain, the miles. And through it all, you smiled.

I wonder, if you’d known your search for a home
Would sometimes leave you feeling full of doubt.
If you’d even try, try so hard to get inside
When inside tried so hard to push you out.
But still, you persevered, and that, my friend, is why you are here - today.

You’re so brave - braver than anyone I know.
You gave all that you had, then dug down, gave some more.
That light that shines so bright, it led you through the darkest night.
And it keeps on shining still - ‘cause you’re so brave.

Your journey’s not yet done, in fact it’s just begun
So many miles behind you, but there’re more.
The prejudice, the hate, the pushback from the state,
Certainly not the things you bargained for.
But you have a friend in me, I’m here for you. Refugee.

You’re so brave - braver than anyone I know.
You gave all that you had, then dug down, gave some more.
That light that shines so bright, it led you through the darkest night.
And it keeps on shining still - ‘cause you’re brave.

good to see u

Thank you to all those who shared there voices with us.

A few months ago, we were invited to curate a show for Sister FM and Refugee Week. HabibTati decided that we should create a sound piece.
 
"I have wanted to return to sound art and create my sounds for some time now to emphasise the importance of not only seeing but also hearing our voices in a non-orientalised way. An intentional approach that responds to the ongoing hate and racism towards migrants and refugees, as well as the ongoing genocide. An authentic way that allows us to take control of our collective struggles, educate ourselves and highlight the need for change"
  
The theme was 'community as a superpower,' so we created a piece dedicated to those who want their stories heard, specifically, those who identify as queer refugees. This 16.5-minute piece represents only a fraction of the millions of stories that go unheard, are silenced, or are blamed on in the media for failures of our government.
 
For many of us, whether from queer refugee backgrounds or not, refugee solidarity extends beyond borders. Within your local communities, please support refugee charities and events, if you can help people not only financially but also by being present and supportive.
  
End borders. 
 
Through sounds, sampling, cutting, editing, and loops, we hope we did you all justice. This piece is really special, and we cannot fathom how much we appreciate everyone who took part in sharing their voice from around the region and beyond. Please respect the decision for all voices to remain anonymous, and we will not reveal any identities of those who have participated. If you recognise who that is, keep it to yourself.

WELCOME

The official soundtrack to the 80-year true story of the Feyerabend family.

Helmed by author, producer, and lifelong music curator Frank Talmon l'Armée, this project is the result of a deep-seated passion for music and storytelling.

Our music aims to give a voice to this universal experience and to inspire courage.

Great art almost feels like magic—it opens our minds to brand new ideas, and teaches us to see ourselves and our world more clearly. Of course, behind all great art, there are artists. And that’s where the real magic happens…

As we go beneath the art itself to explore how different artists do what they do, we see glimpses of the sorts of creativity, resilience, and bravery that lead to the art that moves our world. And maybe we can learn to borrow some of that magic for our very own thinking.

Join professional musician Emily Merrell for conversations with artists of all kinds. Together, we examine the mysteries of our own experiences, our muses and fears, our gifts and foibles, our beliefs about the origins of creativity, and the secret magic we’ve discovered in our unique creative processes. 

Mediums include: studio art, graphic design, dance, cooking, illustration, creative writing, storytelling, comedy, music composition, music performance, film making, acting, production, fashion design, photography, and more.

Songwriting has been a lifelong passion for me, dating back to elementary school when I first began crafting stories, poems, and eventually lyrics. As a former drummer in various bands, I always relied on others to bring my words to life musically. However, after a long hiatus from drumming, I decided to take the leap and learn to compose music to accompany my lyrics. Through classes and dedication, I've embarked on a new journey, breathing fresh life into old lyrics and penning new ones. You'll find a mix of older and newer works here, for the lyrics. 

Music has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is being completely entranced by 'The Little Drummer Boy' as a very young child. There was something about the rhythm and the melody that just captivated me. I must have played it a thousand times, wearing the record out, and from that moment on, I was hooked. I knew I wanted to be a drummer and to create that magic for others. 

But I was too young then, and of course, I couldn't afford a drum set just yet. So, I turned to writing as a way to express myself. As I mentioned above, I started with stories, then poems, and eventually, lyrics. I found that writing was not only a way to tap into my creativity, but also a way to process my emotions and experiences. 

As I grew older, my love for music only deepened. I realized that music has this incredible power to transport us to different times and places, to evoke emotions and memories that we thought were long forgotten. It's a universal language that can bring people together like nothing else can. 

For me, writing lyrics is a cathartic experience. It's a way for me to tap into my emotions, to process the world around me, and to create something that I hope will resonate with others. And when I hear my words come to life in a song, it's truly magical. It's a feeling that never gets old, and it's what keeps me coming back to music time and time again. 

I love many genres of music and artists of many genres. And if you listen to some of my songs, you will find that I like to make songs of different genres as well as mix different genres into each song. One of my all-time favorite bands is Evanescence, and I have made a lot of songs where I have tried my best to emulate that sound. 

Now, I have recently started experimenting with new sounds. I never heard of glitch beats before I took music classes, and now I'm fascinated with the sound, so I have been experimenting with glitch beats recently. 

I hope you enjoy some of my songs. And thanks so much to everyone who has been listening so far. I truly appreciate it. I welcome constructive feedback to help me grow as an artist, and I appreciate your support. ❤️

BTW if you follow me, I will ALWAYS follow back. If I like your music, I will follow you, but if you don't follow me back within a week or so I will probably unfollow. The same goes with when I see someone listening to my music, I WILL follow, however, if they don't follow me back within a week or so, I'll unfollow, because I'd like to even out my follows versus followers numbers. I'm following way more than I'm being followed back. 😢 Hope that makes sense? 😘
