A beautiful tribute Bass Thumper
Laurent Thanks for the listen Laurent. Viktor and everyone else that went thru the holocaust are well deserving of a tribute. Consider reading his book if you haven't; it's not only educational on multiple levels but a fascinating and tragic glimpse into a world that we know little of.

BassThumper:
Wow, after reading the background of the song above, the intro is haunting and terrifying--totally sets the stage for what follows. It's a myriad of emotion that follows that opening, and each of them resonate. The mix and arrangement are excellent. You've outdone yourself on this one!!
My humble regards,
Deej

Very impressive piece from start to finish! The soundscape does a great job of matching your text. Nothing wrong with your voice BTW, sounded good to these ears.
Well done, enjoyed. Thanks so much Dave, I always appreciate your reviews.

Hi BT Steve,
You made a very impressive song, from a very dark era.
Hearing the sound of that train, followed by the barking of the German shepherds and the screams of people, gives you some chills.
You make a beautiful piece of music, with that choice of instruments. Really very good!
You made a very impressive song, from a very dark era.
Hearing the sound of that train, followed by the barking of the German shepherds and the screams of people, gives you chills.
You create a beautiful piece of music, with all those -sometimes- modern instruments. Really very good!
The darkest part, however, is that humanity never seems to learn from its history... So we need many more Victors to teach us life lessons. Maybe a lot...
Thanks,
Hans

I really like this piece, it seems to come straight out of the 70s prog rock era.
There are quite a few Pink Floyd influences, which is a good thing.
Lots of interesting things keep my attention throughout the song.
Very well done. Hey Brain, I appreciate your listen and always your insightful reviews. You bet, Pink Floyd is one of my favorite bands, I like nearly all their stuff and I can't help but think that their style creeps into my work as an influence. Long live prog rock

I agree in that this is a very impressive masterpiece. Wow Mario! To the degree that this might be a personal "masterpiece" is in large part due to folks like you who I consider mentors; folks who helped kick-start my musical journey back in 2020 with BiaB. Folks who produce creative works that make me say "Hmmm, I wonder if with a ton of effort that I too might be able to produce something that might speak to others." I guess this is called inspiration. Viktor Frankl has also inspired (and will inspire) millions around the globe, not only in his generation, but mine and I'm sure generations to come.

My goodness! What an amazing soundscape and epic musical journey.
I can imagine this playing in a cinema as the background music for a slideshow that documents Nazi concentration camps.
It's very emotive music.
I compliment you on your music skills, too.
Everything flowed seamlessly from section to section. It was an outstanding arrangement.
I really enjoyed going where you took me..
--Noel Hey Noel, I really appreciate the detailed review. "Section by section" is exactly how my brain works but the funny thing (for me) is that after I begin arranging a song it seems to have a life of its own and in a way I'm led down a path. Anyway, glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully mankind has learned something about itself from that time, but sometimes I wonder.

Yes, I've read it. Cool subject, albeit unusual, for song, Steve. With the title I was thinking of Victa (Wooten). This is a wonderful interpretation (and I really love your bass). Very creaive indeed. There is majesty within the sorrow, spiritual within the oppression. Viktor's Victory!! It speaks and you created a special musical piece to raise the voice. Hey Marty, so far it's looking like 3 of us have read the book. I much appreciate the comment on my bass playing. With much hard work and hundreds of hours of listening intently to all manner of bass lines, I think I'm slowly grasping the fundamentals. But I always have some amount of internal tension between playing too sparsely and over playing. And who else but you could articulate " There is majesty within the sorrow, spiritual within the oppression." That is such a poetic summary of his book. Many thanks.

Steve,
An emotional piece of music - for an emotional story.
Thoughtful arrangement. VERY good production. And mix.
Your bass sounds great. LOVE that you are adding drums yourself - Well done!
This is impressive. Hey Floyd, you know that you are one of my inspirational mentors here, so I really appreciate your reviews. Yeah, the Roland drum pad is turning out to be a great musical instrument investment, it's really a blast figuring out how I can complement the BiaB drummers. Many thanks for the kind words, --Steve

B.D. expressed our first thoughts, "There are quite a few Pink Floyd influences, which is a good thing." Indeed.
Both of our fathers served in WWII and we have read a LOT of WWII history and watched multiple documentaries over the years.
Including of course many on the subject of your song.
Every aspect of the production, e.g., sound effects, voices, track choices and more render a tremendous tribute to those who lived thorough it, those who survived and the families of them all.
Well done in an epic manner!
J&B

Background
Some may remember my last docu-song Bletchley Park, this one is a continuation of that WW2 theme and is dedicated to Viktor E. Frankl and all the survivors and non-survivors of the Holocaust. Viktor, like so many German and East European Jews found himself entrapped in the Nazi network of concentration and extermination camps, but amazingly he survived and wrote an epic account of some of his experiences in the camps and the meaning behind survival. He called his book Man’s Search For Meaning. Howdy BT.... That is quite a profound account by Viktor. You've put together a very somber, pensive composition here and it fits the song image perfectly. Tough subject to take on as it wreaks with such deep emotion. War is truly a hellish experience of the human condition but the holocaust is on a level all it's own. Heartbreaking is an understatement and words just seem inadequate to describe the horrors Well done!

Howdy BT....
That is quite a profound account by Viktor.
You've put together a very somber, pensive composition here and it fits the song image perfectly.
Tough subject to take on as it wreaks with such deep emotion.
War is truly a hellish experience of the human condition but the holocaust is on a level all it's own.
Heartbreaking is an understatement and words just seem inadequate to describe the horrors Hey chulaivet, every time I see the word "pensive" I have to look it up, I just can't keep that word in my head for some reason  The holocaust certainly is on a level all its own. And Viktor is not only victorious but a hero for writing a book we all can learn from; what a legacy he has. Thanks for the listen and kind review. It is you sir, that is pensive
