Hey, a little something I was inspired to write after seeing the terrible events in Ukraine. Full solidarity with the citizens of both Ukraine and Russia. Nobody should be forced to kill or die for some pointless war pushed by an oligarch! No war, but class war! The only people who suffer from war are us regular people! Let's all hope for a quick, peaceful end to the war and for the right of the people of Ukraine to determine their own future.

NO WAR BUT CLASS WAR

EP: "Tragen wir Träume auf zerbrechlichen Wegen" - Musik zu "Hinter uns das Land"

Diese EP, veröffentlicht von Beyond & Before Music, präsentiert zwei unterschiedliche Interpretationen der Songs "Hier auf Hela" und "Lappland", die Schlüsselszenen aus dem Roman "Hinter uns das Land" von Frank Talmon l'Armée musikalisch einfangen. Die Songs beleuchten die dramatische Flucht der Familie Feyerabend und anderer Flüchtlinge aus Ostpreußen im Frühjahr 1945.

"Hier auf Hela" fängt die beklemmende Stimmung und die Ungewissheit an der Küste von Hela ein, wo die Flüchtlinge auf eine Überfahrt warten, nachdem sie dem Grauen von Stutthof entkommen konnten. Der Song liegt in den Versionen Musical, Filmmusik, Alternative Rock und Experimental vor. Er spiegelt die innere Zerrissenheit der Protagonisten wider, die zwischen der Hoffnung auf Rettung und der Angst vor dem Ungewissen schwanken.

"Lappland" hingegen thematisiert die Überfahrt nach Dänemark an Bord des gleichnamigen Schiffes. Der Song, verfügbar in Folk, Folk-Rock und Singer-Songwriter, zeichnet die bedrohliche Atmosphäre auf See nach, die ständige Gefahr durch Torpedos und die Erinnerungen an die Tragödie der "Wilhelm Gustloff". Trotz der allgegenwärtigen Bedrohung steht auch hier die Hoffnung auf einen Neuanfang in der Fremde im Mittelpunkt.

"Tragen wir Träume auf zerbrechlichen Wegen" ist eine musikalische Reflexion über Flucht, Verlust und die Kraft der Hoffnung. Die Musik fängt die innere Zerrissenheit der Flüchtlinge ein, die zwischen der Erinnerung an das Vergangene und der vagen Hoffnung auf eine bessere Zukunft gefangen sind.

EP: "Carrying Dreams on Fragile Paths" - Music from "Hinter uns das Land" / "Behind Us The Land"

Released by Beyond & Before Music, this EP presents two distinct interpretations of the songs "Here on Hela" ("Hier auf Hela") and "Lappland", capturing key scenes from the novel "Hinter uns das Land" / "Behind Us The Land" by Frank Talmon l'Armée. The songs illuminate the dramatic escape of the Feyerabend family and other refugees from East Prussia in the spring of 1945.

"Here on Hela" captures the oppressive atmosphere and uncertainty on the coast of Hela, where the refugees wait for a passage after escaping the horrors of Stutthof. The song is available in musical, soundtrack, alternative rock, and experimental versions. It reflects the inner turmoil of the protagonists, torn between the hope of rescue and the fear of the unknown.

"Lappland", on the other hand, deals with the crossing to Denmark aboard the ship of the same name. The song, available in folk, folk-rock, and singer-songwriter versions, portrays the threatening atmosphere at sea, the constant danger of torpedoes, and the memories of the "Wilhelm Gustloff" tragedy. Despite the omnipresent threat, the hope for a new beginning in a foreign land is also a central theme.

"Carrying Dreams on Fragile Paths" is a musical reflection on escape, loss, and the power of hope. The music captures the inner turmoil of the refugees, caught between the memory of the past and the vague hope for a better future.

Lyrics:

Once there was a boy
playing in the park, climbing up a tree
just like you and me
then the bombs rained down in the city
and smoke filled his eyes

Running to his house
screaming all the way for his family
not like you and me
then the stones rained down from the buildings
and tears filled his eyes

He just wants to be
safe like you and me
He was forced to leave
with no home or a family

Hiking to the tents
on a steep and muddy trail in a worn-out shoe
not like me and you
then the bombs rained down on the campsite
and sparks stung his eyes

First time on a plane
flying all alone way above the sea
not like you and me
then the storm rained down inside his head
and fear filled his mind

He just wants to be
safe like you and me
He was forced to leave
with no home or place to be

In a foreign land
yearning for a place to be safe and free
just like you and me
then the forms rained down from the grown-ups
and hope drained his eyes

He just wants to be
safe like you and me
He was forced to leave
with no home or a place to sleep

And we...
Will never see him smile.
