Lyrics
There’s a storm comin’ in
On the horizon, feel it in my bones, soon it will be here
There’s a storm comin’ in
Won’t be surprisin’, watch the waters risen’
So Jump, jump on in

Solo

There’s a storm comin’ in
This river’s ragin’, bust out your cages, let your freak on in
There’s a storm comin’ in
Time is ticken tockin’, let’s get this whole place rockin’
So Jump, jump on in

There’s a band stormin’ in, Black Diamond Sessions
Gonna teach you lessons, better than original sin
There’s a JAM comin’ on
Ya’ll are in the band now, hands up in the air now and Jump, jump on in

Let’s jump, jump, jump on in
Solo Line
Let’s jump, jump, jump on in
Solo Line
Let’s jump, jump, jump on in
Solo Line
Let’s jump, jump, jump on in
Let’s Jump

White Rabbit - Black Diamond Sessions Featuring Jess Bess

Every since I was a young boy, each Christmas, my Dad would share the most delicious treat with the whole family.  Country Ham from Burgers' Smokehouse in California, MO https://www.smokehouse.com.  The years of enjoying the wonderful meets and gifts distributed by Burgers' Smokehouse has inspired this song, "What Do You Want For Breakfast?"  The folks at Burgers' have partnered with me to release the song, and I couldn't be more happy and proud to be partnering with the company that has shared a long and tasty history with my family.  Song writing, food, and family have always been a huge part of my life. Burgers' Smokehouse has produced this wonderful video based on my song.

What Do You Want For Breakfast?

This is a new version of a track I wrote about a year ago called Iowa.  Enjoy with a glass of wine!

Iowa2

This song was written to give voice to those among us who we pass by every day but are not seen.  The homeless, folks who identify with segmented communities, and those who just feel alone in the world, but long to reach out to someone, just to talk, or to have a hand to hold. This Spero original was sung by the great Pino Farina.  It's Pino's brilliant artistic and expressive voice that brought this song to life.  Thank you Pino! (Photo is by Dennis Cramer)

Turn Around

This song that I created called Better Days, seeks to spread the word of peace, kindness, and love for our fellow humans.  It was inspired by many of song writers of my parent’s era like  Bob Dylan, Peter Yarrow, Arlo Guthrie, Bob Marley, Cat Stevens, Bonnie Raitt, Judy Collins, and todays peace seekers like Alicia Keys, Bruce Springsteen, Lenny Kravitz, Taylor Swift and others.  Please let me know the artists that you love that seek to bring peace to our planet through their music.  This song was sung by the amazing Pino Farina, a voice of our times, and an artist that can make a song come to life.  Thank you Pino!

Lyrics: Better Days by Peter Spero

Verse 1
If we can learn to fly again, will we take to wing
To see the winter pass and then, feel the warmth of spring
To find, better days
If we can learn to run again, and make the choice to go
Hurry down the road and never fear what we don’t know 
And somehow, find, better days

Chorus
As we cross past plains of darkness
Let our own light shine the way
While hand in hand, we journey 
Finding strength in words we say 
Can we lift each other’s spirits high 
Hands together pray
That we find, that we find, betters days  
  
Verse 2
If we can learn to see again, with eyes that open wide
To look with understanding, as we all live side by side
To find, our better days
If we can learn to hear again, find our inner voice
Telling us to run or stand together, it’s our choice
Just to find, better days 

Chorus
As we cross the plains of darkness
Let our own light shine the way
While hand in hand, we journey finding
Strength in words we say 
Can we lift each other’s spirits high 
Hands together pray
That we find, that we find, better days  



Better Days

The instrumental, Summer Games, was created as soundtrack music for the video documenting the Special Olympics Illinois 2015 Summer Games and Torch Run, which took place in Bloomington/Normal Illinois.  As a composer, the creation of this music was especially rewarding.  For me, the visuals of these brave and courageous competitors inspired the composition “Summer Games” from the very first look.  The determination of these special athletes was one of the most amazing feats of bravery and courage that I’ve ever witnessed. 

You can see the finished video, which includes the soundtrack “Summer Games” on YouTube, the Special Olympics web site, and at the website for the filming team, AeroVista Innovations.  100% of funds from the downloads of this composition will be donated to Special Olympics.

Huge shout out to the whole AeroVista filming team!

This is just a simple and quite short musical expression that I created basically so I could get this melody out of my head, and documented through orchestration.  This will eventually be part of a larger composition.
