3) Galahad is also a German folkrock/medieval band. The English biography from their website:
"It seems to be not easy to describe Galahad´s music with only a few words.
Elements of rock, mediaeval and classical music as well as a little bit of celtic mystic create an individual style of music. This versatility is also shown by using various and different instrumentation.
A high number of events in Germany (e.g. “Newcomer of the Year” 1987, WDR / West-German-Broadcast– Folk-Award, TV-appearance) and the neighbouring foreign countries took Galahad to a plenty of indoor- and open-air-concerts and festivals (e.g. “Little Woodstock”, “Euro-Folk-Festival” and many more).
Highlights of the last years were the support-act of Jethro Tull during their German tour 1999 in Hameln, Berlin and Wurzburg, the nomination for the “German Rock Award” 2000, the producing of the “Myrddin”-album by famous German rock-producer Eroc (ex-Grobschnitt, Philip Boa, Tic Tac Toe), “CD of the Week” in Belgium Broadcast, “Celtic Queen” for many weeks as No. 1 in the internet download charts of “track4” and the appearance on several compilation-CDs (e.g. “Miroque”, “Aeterna”, “Mystica Antiqua”, “Celebrant 2003”)
In November 2006 the sixth Galahad-album “Ladhivan” was released. Rock-guitars, flute, some folky arrangemets and characteristic vocals let Galahad once more stay to their own style. "

Beyond the Barbed Wire
Galahad Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can pass through you any time
You will not wipe the smile from my face
Or the warmth inside from my still beating heart
When the blinding rays bounce all around me
Euphoria keeps me high in sky
And when the rain falls to dampen my faith
I'm just thinking, just thinking beyond the barbed wire
I'm just looking, just looking beyond the cold barbed wire
I'm just thinking, just thinking beyond the barbed wire
I'm just looking, just looking beyond the cold barbed wire
Though I have nothing material to call my own
I've realised, I've got more inside than I've ever known
Scars can be deceptive and make you look so weak
But it's the inner mental strength that will never break
The spirits of the lost reinforce my will
Their souls unite in pure defiance
We will not disappear in mournful smoke
Beyond the cold barbed wire
I'm just thinking, just thinking beyond the barbed wire
I'm just looking, just looking beyond the cold barbed wire
I'm just thinking, just thinking beyond the barbed wire
I'm just looking, just looking beyond the cold barbed wire
I'm just thinking….
I'm just looking….
The song "Beyond the Barbed Wire" by Galahad speaks about the yearning for freedom amidst confinement. The opening lines "I believe you are not there, I can pass through you any time" suggest that the singer feels invisible and overlooked in his/her current situation. The barbed wire represents a tangible barrier for the singer, but they choose to fixate on the potential for escape and the hope that lies beyond the wire. The lyrics "When the blinding rays bounce all around me, Euphoria keeps me high in the sky" highlight the singer's resilience and optimism - they find joy even in the midst of bleak circumstances. The line "I look up, open wide and capture this fuel of life" emphasizes the power of perspective and the ability to find light in darkness.
The singer further reflects on their inner strength: "Though I have nothing material to call my own, I've realized, I've got more inside than I've ever known." The scars they carry - whether physical or emotional - serve as a reminder of their resilience and fortitude. The line "It's the inner mental strength that will never break" encapsulates the message of the song - that even in the face of adversity, what lies within us is what truly matters. The final lines "The spirits of the lost reinforce my will, Their souls unite in pure defiance, We will not disappear in mournful smoke" signify a collective resistance against oppression, and the determination of the singer to never give up hope.

I believe you are not there
I feel like you are not present in my life
I can pass through you any time
Your absence doesn't impact me and I can move on easily
You will not wipe the smile from my face
My positivity won't be affected by your absence
Or the warmth inside from my still beating heart
I will still feel happy and alive despite your absence
When the blinding rays bounce all around me
When life gets really bright and intense around me
Euphoria keeps me high in sky
I feel a natural high and am really content
And when the rain falls to dampen my faith
When things start to look bleak and I feel discouraged
I look up, open wide and capture this fuel of life
I try to stay positive and find inspiration in whatever small things I can
I've realised, I've got more inside than I've ever known
I've discovered a strong sense of internal strength and resilience
Scars can be deceptive and make you look so weak
Past traumas can make you appear vulnerable and powerless
But it's the inner mental strength that will never break
What really matters is having unwavering mental endurance and toughness
The spirits of the lost reinforce my will
The memories of those who are no longer with us give me strength
Their souls unite in pure defiance
Their unbroken spirits come together in rebellion against oppressive forces
We will not disappear in mournful smoke
We won't simply fade away and die out
I'm just thinking, just thinking beyond the barbed wire
I'm contemplating a world that exists beyond restrictive barriers
I'm just looking, just looking beyond the cold barbed wire
I'm searching for a future that is free from oppressive, inhumane conditions
I'm just thinking….
I'm lost in deep thought about where life could take me
I'm just looking….
I'm scanning the horizon for opportunities and a better tomorrow
