Episode 4: St. Louis and Hermann, Missouri

NL:
Het donkere slot van het album.
De raaf, boodschapper van Wodan, spreekt vanaf het graf van Childerik en waarschuwt voor de weg die zijn zoon Clovis kiest: het kruis boven de oude goden.
Het nummer schetst hoe de Franken hun heidense wortels verlaten, hoe het christendom met geweld tempels verwoest en hoe zo de oude zegen verloren gaat.
Het Frankische refrein klinkt als een smeekbede uit het verleden om terug te keren naar het pad van de voorouders.

EN:
The dark closing track of the album.
The raven, messenger of Wodan, speaks from Childerik’s grave and warns against the path chosen by his son Clovis: the cross over the old gods.
The song depicts the Franks turning from their pagan roots, the destruction of temples by Christian zeal, and the loss of the old blessing.
The Old Frankish refrain resounds like a plea from the past, urging the Franks to return to the way of their forefathers.

Histoire parallèle

🇳🇱 Wiegelied voor de Onschuld
“Wiegelied voor de Onschuld” is een bijzondere track in onze reeks over de Belgische geschiedenis en sagen.
We wilden hier niet de strijd en het bloed van de oorlogen bezingen, maar de stille verhalen die generaties lang bij het haardvuur werden doorgegeven.

De Veldwaker, onze mythologische verteller, spreekt hier niet als krijger maar als beschermer.
Hij richt zich tot de kinderen van het vlakke land, waarschuwt voor de oude gevaren van West-Vlaanderen — de Kludde, de Nekker, het Zomp Wijf, de Waterduivel, de spookrijders van het Wilde Heir, het paardje Mallegijs bij de Kinderput — maar altijd met de hoop dat hun onschuld nog lang behouden blijft.

Muzikaal voelt het nummer als een grootvader die naast het vuur oude verhalen vertelt — zacht maar waarschuwend.

Met dit lied willen we laten horen dat legendes niet alleen griezelige verhalen zijn, maar ook een manier om te beschermen, herinneren en koesteren wat kwetsbaar is: de dromen van kinderen en de band met het land waarop we leven.

🇬🇧 Lullaby for the Innocence
“Wiegelied voor de Onschuld” (Lullaby for the Innocence) is a special piece in our series about Belgian history and folklore.
Here we didn’t want to sing about battles or bloodshed, but about the quiet stories passed down by the fireside for generations.

The Veldwaker, our mythic storyteller, speaks not as a warrior but as a protector.
He addresses the children of the flatlands, warning them about the old spirits of West Flanders — the Kludde, the Nekker, the Bog Woman, the Water Devil of the Mandel, the ghostly riders of the Wilde Heir, and the pony Mallegijs by the Kinderput — yet always with the hope that their innocence may endure a little longer.

Musically, it feels like a grandfather telling stories by the fire — gentle yet cautionary.

With this song, we want to show that legends are not just tales to frighten children, but also a way to protect, remember, and cherish what is fragile: the dreams of the young and the deep bond with the land we call home.

Wiegelied voor de Onschuld

Neoclassical and cinematic in a small chamber orchestra format, this piece carries a subtle mystery, yet also conveys a sense that time is of the essence, with something stirring and building up to a dramatic climax. Serious music, but with a barely detectable quirky element, or perhaps an ironic twist of fate? Great for period drama, classy and quirky commercials, storytelling / true stories, historical and period content, and more. (Stem files available.)

Forgotten  Cases E1 - The Murder of Hollywood Producer William Desmond Taylor

On this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY, we get the latest news on a plan by the Seattle Department of Parks and Recreation (SPR) to make significant changes to historic Gas Works Park on Lake Union in Seattle's Wallingford/Fremont neighborhoods.

Conservation architect Patricia Fels is our guest. She took part in the Seattle Landmarks Preservation Board (LPB) meeting on October 1, 2025, and listened in as the board members chose to "table" SPR's proposal to remove elements of the iconic "cracking towers" at Gas Works Park, rather than reject the request. SPR said they will revise their proposal and be back before the LPB as soon as the next meeting on October 15, 2025.

Patricia Fels is a member of Friends of Gas Works Park, and worked closely with the late Richard Haag, noted landscape architect who designed the groundbreaking public space - which includes industrial elements from the "gas works" that previously occupied the site. Fels also wrote the landmark nomination for Gas Works Park, and knows its history and context better than just about anybody.

Cascade of History asked Seattle Parks and Recreation for comment immediately following yesterday's tabling of their Gas Works proposal, but we have not yet heard back as of midday Thursday, October 2, 2025.

For additional information and context, here's a BONUS EPISODE from earlier this week featuring audio from the September 17, 2025 meeting of the Seattle Landmarks Preservation Board and the Gas Works Park presentation by SPR:

CITY RITUAL

Welcome to the pulsating heart of the city, where every sunrise awakens possibility and every sunset whispers stories across neon horizons. City Ritual weaves the soundtrack to your daily rites—those electrifying, soulful, and deeply personal moments that define who you are. Our music is a luminous blend of West Coast dreams and metropolitan magic: ocean breezes tangled with city lights, hypnotic rhythms that shimmer like sun on water, and radiant melodies that let you breathe, move, and let go.

Dive into a mosaic of sound—laid-back beats and sultry house grooves, euphoric hip-hop, meditative spoken word, and cross-cultural fusions that glide effortlessly between Greek, Spanish, Italian, and Cuban influences. This is freedom in melody, an invitation to lose yourself and rediscover your ritual: the morning motivation, the midnight release, the triumphant win, and the gentle exhale at day’s end.

City Ritual is not just music. It’s a celebration of modern soul—a vibrant, ever-evolving playlist for the rituals that make us unique, powerful, and alive. Whether you’re chasing the sun, walking city streets, or surrendering to the night, let these sounds elevate your journey and guide you back to your own sacred rhythm.

This is the anthem for those who move with intention, who embrace change, and who honor the rituals that shape their stories. This is City Ritual—where the city meets the coast, and the soundtrack of your life begins.

Let go. Tune in. Live your ritual and the night is always young.

NL: Veldwakers is een simpel solo project uit België. Sinds ik geen muziekale kennis heb, of band heb, enkel een goede kennis van geschiedenis en en fantasie. De teksen zijn zelf geschreven en gebaseerd op feiten uit het Belgische krijgsverleden en tot leven gebracht met SUNO AI. Aangezien ik een fan ben van het metal genre leek de keuze rap gemaakt.

ENG: Veldwakers is a simple solo project from Belgium. Since i don't have any musical talent, or own a band, only a good knowledge of history and some fantasy. The lyrics are written by myself and based on the Belgian military history and brought to life with SUNO AI. Since i am a metal fan myself the choice was obvious.
