Where are my people
I’m all alone in this, strange land
Forsaken
Not of their will, but of others
My people
Knights they once were
Men of, glory!
Their song mute…
I pray that Thor
Hears, this prayer from us
Know that we won’t
Accept this fate
Just like our blood
Know that we won’t accept this fate
Where are my people
I’m all alone in this strange land
Forsaken
I pray that Thor
Hears this prayer
From us
Know that we won’t
Accept this fate
Just like our blood
Know that we won’t accept this fate
Olga couldn't be with us in the filming, although she is still alive... she is not too well (COVID). ;-(

We've been quite inactive lately, but slowly we are working on a new short album, to be released sometimes this year. It will have a few good songs...
Our site: childrenmedievalband.wordpress.com
To make it short: we've been really busy with other stuff - Stefan finished his first year in college, Olga won an essay contest in the state of Maine, Cornelia got a 2nd place, etc...
More details will be written on our site, in a while.

This song is from our great album "New Target" (youtube.com/watch?v=gvZAaIbg6dc). Interesting info - at this gig we played under a new name: Crossland Medieval Band. We might keep it, not sure yet.

It is a "medieval rock" EP with four songs. Original melodies and arrangements, also the lyrics hold a deep meaning and the songs are played with soul, albeit our mixing and producing (as usual) aren’t top notch.

We decided to use English lyrics for at least one reason: to make the R+ masterpieces more popular to English speaking audiences (most of which are trapped by the mainstream stuff). We also changed the song's meaning and made it into a protest song against liars (dishonest politicians, fake news, etc).
So we are actually quite proud of our lyrics.
Here they are:
I feel kinda-lost x 4
I'm feeling kind of lost because of liars
I'm kinda lost and burned by fires
I always want the truth to hear
But all these liars have no fear
It's too much loss being lied again
I'm lost not knowing whom to blame
Is this a world of shameless lies?
I'm kinda lost a truthful guy
Sometimes I'm mad filled with disgust
I don't like those who I can't trust - rah
I feel kinda-lost x 3
RAH! I feel kinda-lost
I'm traveling and lost - guided by deceivers
The paradox of liars does brain fever
When travelers meet a liar
They lose their way and land on fire
Is this a world of shameless lies?
I'm kinda lost a truthful guy
Sometimes I'm mad filled with disgust
I don't like those who I can't trust
I want the truth to hear
But all these liars have no fear
When I see their dirty tongues //out
Then I feel hate and get mad, still so calm
Me rest calm...

Here is one piece where CMB successfully blends hard-rock, hard-core and medieval into a unique new genre.
Video made in March 2017, during the recording of the New Target album, recently released.

This is CMB's 2nd album, with ten original songs. Here are some fragments:
- TV-or-not-TV 0:00
- Medieval Light 0:18
- Prayer for Captives 0:49
- Sticky Shoe Dance 1:18
- New Target 1:49
- World of War 2:24
- Light Sabath 3:03
- Rain of 1984 3:44

Due to personal issues we did the recording of 10 new songs, in a hurry. Still, this is going to be a major breakthrough – at least that’s what we hope. We know that the songs are very original, we’re developing a new style. Hopefully the huge crappy mainstream monolith will crumble a bit after the release of our swift and smart new compositions. Boy! We’ve got to brush up on our modesty…
Okay, the songs are good, but the recording was rushed and details were missed. And it’s expected that the mixing and mastering is going to be a pain. So we don’t know for sure what the final product will sound like. Anyway, at least enjoy and spread around this video. It's a good concept.

Lyrics:
Tv or not Tv (Shakespeare?)
Is that an addiction
To watch and learn what others say/do
How can you believe them
We have no clue
Why ye didn't learn from me
I told you not to watch tv
Now you got a dirty mind...
Pixels under mal-laugh
The healing potion made them dry
The poisoned vibes got flattened
By heavy Sky.
chorus...
end = To clean the dirt easy't won't be

From our first album "Treasure Underground" (youtube.com/watch?v=PIpzWJusEbo). Far below the quality of Rammstein videos, but it's our original work and has certain value.
Lyrics
End of road
Our journey's now stopped
We've come a long way
Thought the sea will part
But now we lost heart
While walking we hoped
That the sea will part.. but
There is no divide
And our rise is blocked
It's end of the road...
R.
We have reached
End of the road
And wait
For the sea to part
Not much can be
More confusing than this
Far from what we thought
Something is amiss.
And there's no return
While walking we hoped
That the sea will part.. but
There is no divide
And our rise is blocked
It's end of the road...
R.
We have reached
End of the road
And wait
For the sea to part
It's so sad
That we have failed
And no
Miracle's unveiled.
Still we hope
The sea will part
And we'll
Safely walk out free

To those concerned that we don't look 'happy':
Hey, Stefan here, thanks for your concern, but I'm almost 14 and nobody's forcing us. I'm the leader of this band (whenever my sisters don't give me a hard time) and we definitely don't like the 'shake-butt' disco or the 'bad-ass' evil metal many other kids enjoy. We like this song because it's clever and intense. Otherwise we like a lot of Beatles, which most kids don't enjoy (and that's one big reason why we don't look too enthusiastic). Anyway, we would be happier if more people would buy our first album "Treasure Underground". Thanks.

Lyrics:
Stefan sang from memory in German (broken?), but the chorus was translated in English, for the sake of the american audience:
Deeper wells are fresh and clean,
Must be dug by men of steel
Rosenrot, oh Rosenrot
Deeper waters don't run still

Talking About You (Chuck Berry in 1960) and Du Riechst So Gut - which is not the Rammstein's latest, but it portraits their style quite well.

Morning Light
History is painted with blood
Too much hate and killing around
Thus children learn the world is bad
But still has wonderful things.
So it must be we're in the middle,
It's hard to understand this riddle,
We can find the worst and best in sight,
This is a war between the darkness and light,
We can only hope for better.
RE1:
Morning light arise and
Cast a ray from heaven
Beautify this world
Wash away the dirt
Without hope we'd live in darkness
Ugly, and sometimes beauty
Dual, this world is dual
The opposites are all around us
Things which are awesome or disgust us
Behind each good there's also danger and so
Don't go to darker corners ever...
RE2:
Morning light oh shine
Chase away the nightmares
Break the chains of fear
Bring the heavens near
We should pray and hope for better
Dual, both sides are here
Dual, we're on frontier
We find both great and horrible
Lot of things are beautiful
But ugliness won't go away, no
RE1, RE2,
There is one last hope.

The truth is we are not so crazy about the quality of the sound. It's under the standard of a professional album, and we simply consider it as "100% homemade". But still, we are confident this is a good thing and we hope you will appreciate the efforts put into this.
We expect criticism, but we are already aware of all issues, and have rated ourselves, on a scale of 1-10:
- Recording - 2 (due to low budget equipment)
- Mixing - 4 (inexperience)
- Mastering - 5 (except three songs done by others: Mark Aviles and ADG Mastering)
- Performance - 7
- Lyrics - 9
- Originality & non-conventional - 10
- Avoidance of FE (frivolous-evil) - 10
Since we like to exaggerate a bit :), we dare to say that this is one of the most original albums ever made by a kids' band.
Stay tuned: http://childrenmedievalband.wordpress.com

Welcome to our new residence
Please visit our place
It's a little cold and dark
But still nice nevertheless
Here you may find some treasure
As we found a metal bar
It's not gold just rusty iron
A piece of the old, glorious american car !
Underground you'll find some values
As we found a metal bar
It's not gold, just rusty iron -
Good old american car.
It's not a game of hide and seek
We really had to hide
The main-scream is too loud for us
We run to the other side
We stepped down to the underground
And really had no choice
The main-scream is too loud for us
And only few could've heard our voice
Trea - sures can be found un - der ground...

Lyrics:
We try to reach a place
Accomplish our goal
But we received insults
From any dumb troll.
We know that bravery is not
Enough to win
Not even talent but
At least we're not mean
Dangers are waiting and we're
Ready to fight
Not many weapons just
Protection from Light
Victory matter less
But honour is all
Even if we won't succeed
We'll be standing tall.
CMB - marching free
CMB - playing for thee
At the USACD Convention in Palm Springs, California - we've been invited there to play for the cocktail dinner party.
The sound on most of our recordings is bad, more or less. Besides the cheap instruments, we don’t have good recording tools, no experience, no patience and no time to do it professionally.
But CMB is a great young band, at least they can entertain people live. This vid is a proof.

Lyrics:
Don't scream
It's a bad dream
Don't touch that ice-cream
Don't scream
It's a bad dream
Come join in our team
I scream,
We scream,
Our team!
I saw the makers of that
Their hands were dirty much so
They put some powder inside
And they mumbled spells on it
The icecream should be pure and clean
To poison it is quite a sin
From now I'll make my own icecream
The old icecream
Good old icecream
Children Medieval Band on Sept. 13, 2014, presenting their upcoming album "Treasure Underground" - at Across-the-Street club in San Diego. This song - Charts - is a reaction to how unfair the charts are towards great bands like Stranglers or Rammstein. We couldn't find any number 1 hit written by bands like these. Most popular bands have been already forgotten by their former fans. Superficiality? Something to think about.
Lyrics:
We've listened to a lot of rock
From screamo back to beat
There are so many epic songs
But none of them ever became a hit.
We learned how to select the best
And play it with our hands
That's how we got to know that Rammstein's
One of the greatest bands.
Ein, Zwei, Drei
We learned from our friends R+
Count 'und' try
To play it on guitar
Ein, Zwei, Drei
We count like our friends R+
They won't lie
But truth may seem bizarre.
We looked into the top hits charts
At most successful songs
But couldn't find the names we like
And that's not right but wrong.
Despite of common taste we know
And surely understand
That Rammstein has great songs and is
A truly awesome band.

As JJ Burnel said recently, most of today's music is sterile and dishonest. Not us. Even with poor audio and video, we keep promoting the 'good rock'. Our song Ice-Scream is an example.

Lyrics:
Lifeguard
Ocean swim
Most waves are high
There is danger down
Noone will hear you cry
And the tide is strong
Pulling all along
Farther from the shore
Return no more
Then the lifeguard will arrive
Such a great aide to survive
----------------------------------The Lyrics of this song--------------------------------------
I can see that it won't be long
When our friends are gone, just keep holding on
It's not your fault that they always lie
That's something they will deny
I know there's something going on
I know there's something going on
I know it won't be long
It won't be long before you're gone
There's something going on, on x 2
I know this is not home
We learned that we're not alone
And there is a threat hard to reason or feel
But I know that it is real
I know there's something going on
I know there's something going on
I know it won't be long
Won't be long before you're gone
There's something going on, on x 4
I know it won't be long
Won't be long before you're gone
I know there's something going on
I know there's something going on
I know it won't be long
Won't be long before you're gone
There's something going on, on x 3
There's something going wrong, wrong...

This is another great cover of CMB. It may look as a lack of modesty, but we learned from experience that many cannot evaluate correctly a performance without a few hints.
Stefan's vocal and solo part are high class.
Olga rocks the bass part on keys as a pro.
Cornelia wasn't feeling well, but her performance at the end is just awesome (as always:-). She is not yet 7.

An interesting remake of our video has been created by Art Fischman here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbRzR7g7NgI
The kids decided to sing Alter Mann in English. The translation is quite loosely done, for better vocal expressivity - but the meaning, the message and the surreal imagery are all there. Lyrics are below:
The old man's holding his hand fan
And combs the water, makes it flat,
He's waiting for the midday's wind
And then he moves his fan a lot.
I cast a stone and make a splash,
The water wrinkles and the old man
Sadly flattens down the waves
And then he said, before he died...
Re:
The water is your mirror now,
When smooth don't laugh at your reflection,
See how much fairy tale is left for you
And pray to lose not thy salvation.
I cast a stone and make a splash,
The water wrinkles as in pain,
And then I take the old man's fan
And sweep the water flat again.
And all around there's only sand
And high above the sky's so far
Sometimes I miss the old man's presence,
But I remember his wise lesson...
Re, Re
On this translation of "Alter Mann" we searched for a certain sonority of the words similar to Till's intonation, while keeping the meaning intact. The original Rammstein's lyrics were not betrayed.

I cast a stone and make a splash,
The water wrinkles as in pain,
And then I take the old man's fan
And sweep the water flat again.
And all around there's only sand
And high above the sky's so far
Sometimes I miss the old man's presence,
But I remember his wise lesson...
Re, Re
On this translation of "Alter Mann" we searched for a certain sonority of the words similar to Till's intonation, while keeping the meaning intact. The original Rammstein's lyrics were not betrayed.
An interesting remake of our video has been created by Art Fischman here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbRzR7g7NgI
