Hear sound of Spero Amicis
This is the first album by Spero Amicis, which was performed with much affection and dedication, the result of a lifetime involved with music. Each song has a very special reason to exist, and brings us to the cross-section on several important timeless themes. We hope you listen and enjoy this record (we are from vinyl time, that you miss ....)
"Love Without Frontier" is a tribute to MSF (Medecins Sans Frontières), wonderful professionals who leave their loved ones to help each other. However, it is extended to all those who in one way or another reach out to one another.
"Bridges " is a tribute to Ruby Bridges, the first American black woman to study in a "white" school that suffered severe discrimination
"Aren´t you tired ?" bringing us a reflection on the internet, of how this tool has became so part of ours leaves, such a point that, sometimes, blind us to many other important points of our living
"Pollen at Wind" is a poetry that deals with the perseverance of life, how the flower waits for the pollen that rides alone in the wind. She will never forget and never see him again, and so, the flower will continue to live in another generation
My Own Reflections brings us reflections on life, which doesn't take much to be happy. Although the world sometimes wants to humiliate, one must always believe in dreams and always do the best! And, above all, thank God for the immense opportunity to live this life, a real gift!
Backdoor Creak brings the questioning of why, sometimes, we follow different paths in our lives. However, we must put "our ghosts to sleep and not worry about the creak of the back door", after all, as long as there is life, there is always the opportunity to start over. Perhaps Spero Amicis has waited a lifetime to appear, however, it is very gratifying to be able to express all the melodies and poetry locked away in our minds for decades, and that we could not take them with us when we left.
Playing Freedom is about being free, finding happiness in yourself, in the simplest things that connect. Therefore, to be happy in marriage (to two), it is necessary, first, to be happy with yourself.
Believe in yourself brings us, that sometimes life requires us to look like someone, to follow a pattern “that would not fit within the dictates of fashion”. However, the greatest value is in being unique, unpublished, this is really fantastic. Nowadays, when especially as rules and standards of beauty have reached their apex, it is essential to have the freedom and maturity so that we can be what we really are, we will be happy, and we will not approve of the other. So, it is essential to believe in yourself and also exercise the fullness of being unique, after all, we all have something to contribute and learn.
Stop thar war is our little tribute to the Ukrainian lives lost in this senseless war. Our deep feelings to everyone. We wish the war to end soon. There will always be another alternative to war. In a finite life, war becomes even more meaningless.

The Fight brings us to the reflection that sometimes life can be hard, to the point where we can hardly bear the pain. However, at these times, it is revealed that real friends care and help us to fight and overcome these adversities, also revealing that the struggle in the face of problems that are often immeasurable, make us special.
Why did you do that ? deals with the delicate issue of bullying, in which the aggressor, in his fragility, needs to hurt someone to show that he is “strong”. However, it can be extended to all those who feel injured in the more varied situation. As the Master taught us: only love and kindness is what we all need, kindness begets kindness!!!!! It is necessary to strongly combat bullying, because people respond in different ways to aggression, some even manage to overcome it, however, many end up not being able to deal with the aggressions and end up becoming adults with some psychiatric disorder.

Lyrics
01. Love Without Frontier
Composers: Luciano G da Rocha/Paulo Pinheiro
There are among us heros
Although they don´t have super powers
They have their faith and hope
Those are forces that move them
To change the world for better
Yes, they are people just like you and I (but they)
Don´t wait for it to happen
Just do their charity work
Because they have a greater heart
CHORUS
Angels of the earth, that came from the sky to visit us
And to teach about the greater good: to love HOLD ON…..
Leaving behind their loved ones
They travel miles to spread some comfort
Healing the broken souls of
Forsaken people who need love
They face some disapointments
Sometimes it feels like screaming deep inside
Just wipe away their tears and
Do overcome the chalenge
Because they have a stronger heart
CHORUS
By the way theres is a right and greater lesson for humanity
Their faith give then strength to face their every day life
Because their fight will make the world tomorrow a better place to live
And at last the earth will turn to Heaven (Hold on)
Hold on Hold on Hold on
And this is the essence
of what they chose to do their vocation, yes it is
02. Bridges
Composers: Luciano G da Rocha/Paulo Pinheiro
There is a bridge to a new world
With a lot of clo...gs
Where a little soldier is pushing through
The barking angry dogs
She´s crossing with solid attitude
It´s a bridge of rage
You must have strength of mind to pass
She acts beyond her age
And all that little angel soldier has
At the battle field
Is her gentle innocence
And her faith as a shield her ….only shield
Isn’t that confusing? What’s going on?
Shouldn’t it be just joy?
Finding new friends, talk and play ?
Empty classroom, no teachers
Eating alone on the corner
Finding life is a not fairie tale
Uhhh uhhh Too soon, too bad
03. Aren´t you tired
Composers: Luciano G da Rocha/Paulo Pinheiro
Aren't you tired of being freely blind?
The heat is higher and it's melting you mind
Going random, not getting anywhere
Spending energy on something you don't care
Stop blurring your precious sight
Aren't you tired of that fog?
Fly away, now, to a clear blue sky
Cool your mind with freshing thoughts
Cool thoughts
(REFRÃO)
Ah..oooooooo.. Feels like flying far away on clear blue sky
Feels like flying by
Feels like flying high
Flying far away on clear blue sky
Ah...oooooooooo Just flying far away on clear blue sky
Aren't you tired for burning down your head?
Set that fire on your passion instead
Growing fluids are pressing you inside
Despot consciousness that makes you half alive
Go sailiing without control
ind your treasures hidden out
Cut the silence on your tired soul
Now it's time for you to shout, out loud
04 Pollen at Wind
Composers: Luciano G da Rocha/Paulo Pinheiro
It is hard to believe that the wind
Meant nothing to the flowers
He blows ephemeral
Gently taking their love on their pollen
He reaps the scent of their souls
And takes it with him
A flower can see him blow away
And just wait for the next gust
CHORUS
It's hard to believe the flower
Holds grudge on the wind who rips out some pollen
Stuck where she is she can't see the marks she left on him
But he keeps on carrying forever her silhouette
Her pollen at the wind
Impregnates his soul
She wonders why
He never comes to stay
He is a lone rider
A fleeting lover
Lone riders never forget nor regret
When the wind's softly swinging her leaves
And caressing her petals
He blows her loneliness
When she opens a smile and surrender
She feels his breath on her face
And keeps it with her
The wind is meant to make her feel alive
And proceed to the next field
05 My Own Reflections
Composers: Luciano G da Rocha/Sérgio Luiz da Rocha Jr
Is this the moment of my own Reflexions?
The peace invades me and I keep thinking
Of all the wonders and perfections,
I open my eyes and I feel life
I could never say goodbye to life, even if I tried
I only wanna thank for this moment with a lullaby
The hope still lives inside (of) me, the light will never go out
As long as the smell of flowers scent my life
It all seems clear now, as the morning light
Old dreams, come through my mind, take me to childhood time
Think of the most beautiful song you´ve heard
Let it take you away, and float away
We have been programmed to always stay on the path
That even the slightest change in course would mean disarray
Getting out of your comfort zone will not spare you the pain
Although it may give you some other chances to grow again
Not everything is doom and gloom
Don’t ever think that everyone will see you through
The world will keep on turning in spite of you
To be a part of it is the best you can do
And maybe all of your old dreams will come true
Just need a moment for inspiration
And if you want to get more than you asked for
Then you better keep your distance from me
Try to praise the little things
Those might be the ones that you wanna keep
Your life is God´s only gift
Don’t make it so complicated
Have a little faith in you, and don´t regret
Tomorrow is just another day
Choices made will help you lead the way uh……………..
And maybe some of your old dreams will come true
Tomorrow could be better
That´s easy if you believe
Your faith is all you´ve got to keep
06 Backdoor Creak
Composers: Luciano G da Rocha/Paulo Pinheiro
Don’t be afraid, never surrender
Leave all your troubles behind
Don’t worry, the shadows will yield to light
Call on your god, now - Pray to your god.
Chorus
Wake up and put your ghosts to sleep - Don’t be so scared of the backdoor creak
Time is your best friend, you can always seize it
More precious chances to make more mistakes
Spend it living your own life, now -
Live for your love, now your own love
Chorus
No more regrets, now - ‘cause life isn’t science
There is no secret - it is what it is
There’s no rehearsal, curtains are up, now
Go do your best, now - It’s always show time
07 Playing Freedom
Composers: Luciano G da Rocha/Paulo Pinheiro
Another sunny day
In a world without fences
Time stands still
While the smell of childhood weekends
Fills the air
Sweeping the loneliness
Or maybe just turning loneliness
Into something good
Like the delightful feeling of playing freedom
Chorus
Thoughts around my mind
When there is time to waste
No one seems to be around
Peace climb up the stage now
Just laid down on the grass
Closing eyes
And groping something like happiness
Could it be?
From time to time I crop
Some eternity moments
On my own
There somewhere inside my nature
I got stronger
Most of the time it is
Around me but I miss because of
Its simplicity
Such is the brightful feeling of playing freedom
08 Believe in Yourself
Composers: Luciano G da Rocha/Paulo Pinheiro
Outta night, all alone
You wonder what went wrong
Can't you see that every little second
Is time to turn a new stone?
You can find out on the city street lights
The star you're looking for
Go on, stir up your fire
Bring it to the fore
Don't be afraid of the night
Don't be afraid of your life
Are you just hiding yourlsef
From being you?
Do you have to compare
Yourself to everyone?
There has always been someone that's better
Or not as good as you are
Value your life, no matter how humble
You know it means a lot
Don't feign friendship and don't use
Cinicism at love
Are you afraid of the night?
Are you afraid of your life?
Will you keep hiding yourself
From being you?
You're not supposed to
Deny yourself just to fit in
Life can put you down if
You are trapped on your own loneliness
Break the walls, just break those walls
Keep your pride sanitized
To find your peace of mind
Such comparing cause you just illusion
At best you're wasting your time
Life is out there, sun will come tomorrow
So just be confident
It is all in youself, now
Bring on the night
You can believe in yourself
You should believe in yourself
So just believe in yourself
Enjoy the night
09 The Fight
Composers: Luciano G da Rocha/Paulo Pinheiro
It is okay to feel worn out and scared of this life sometimes
But don´t let anybody tell you you should give up to a single fight
Your fight´s what makes you special and with time it will be alright
Sometimes you ask yourself a sense on what´s happening to you
The heaviness that´s on your chest now, from time to time we all feel it too
Your fight´s whats makes you special, something great is waiting for you
CHORUS
So hold your head up high and dry your tears
The world is better because we can have you here
And let us see your smile so beautiful and so bright.....Come on!!!!
We want to hold you tight!!!!!
We love you!!!!! Be sure you´re not alone
09 Why did you do that ?
Composers: Luciano G da Rocha/Paulo Pinheiro
It wasn´t nice is wasn´t easy
It wasn´t kind: no one else stood up for me!!!!
It wasn´t good, it wasn´t necessary
Why did you do that ?
You took away my purest feelings
I still can´t get, what the hell you had in mind ?
It wasn´t what I didn´t expect them
Why did you do that?
Why did you have to hurt someome ?
Who did it to you ?
Did you have to hurt someone?
Only to show that you could some harm ?
Chorus
Only if you´re week you will fell the need
To hurt somebody you show you´re strong
Love and kindness is what we need
Gentleness brings you back more gentleness
So I´ll keep on wond´rin why ?
11 Stop that War
Composer: Luciano Guilherme da Rocha
The world wishing for Peace
(Behold), a light of horror rises in the east
The sound of destruction echoes in ours souls
Now what to do ? Fight or run ?
Why do we always have to make war ?
(Surely) there will alway be another way
Is there no land for everyone ?
Enouth is never enough!!!!!
Chorus
Stop war! There´s no sense in it at all
We are all one nation
Enough so much evil
This has to stop now
War is Always the worst way
Stop that war now!!!! 2x
As soldiers lose their lives ( battlefield)
Your generals can not see
Can´t hear the screams of horror death doesn´t hit them
How about PUTTING down your weapons ?
Can we be friends ?
There´s nothing that can stop us so no more hate
Many of your children will no longer return and now!!!!
It´s just crying!!!!!
