This powerful visual piece captures the emotional and political duality at the heart of Carlos Neher's song. The image is divided into two starkly contrasting halves: the left side rendered in grayscale, symbolizing oppression, silence, and the cold rigidity of imposed norms; the right side bursts with vivid colors, embodying freedom, diversity, and emotional truth.

At the center stands a solemn figure—half in shadow, half in light—holding a glowing, heart-shaped Earth at his chest. The left side of the heart appears darkened, almost consumed by the monochrome world, while the right radiates warmth and life. This symbolizes the internal and societal battle between conformity and authenticity, between fear and love.

The imagery of barren trees and bleak skies transitions into vibrant hues and collective joy, representing the transformative power of inclusion and empathy. The name "Carlos Neher" grounds the piece at the bottom, while the title boldly proclaims the message above.

This cover is more than an image—it's a manifesto in color and shadow, challenging the very foundations of so-called democratic norms that exclude, erase, and restrict.

Democracy Does Not Allow Laws of Customs

I think that at this stage of my life I can afford to write, and make music the way my heart wants to express itself, without waiting for applause, because I no longer care about applause, I have long passed that phase... now it only matters to write and sing the truths of my heart, which obviously may not be the truths of your heart, but they are mine!
Sou compositor e produtor independente, tenho 58 anos e estou sozinho. Quase morri afogado no dia 3 de maio de 2024 na grande enchente. Perdi tudo e por culpa do governo que não nos avisou com antecedência. Após um ano passo fome, uso roupas de doação e fiquei sem meu estúdio. Preciso recomeçar. Decidi colocar minhas músicas aqui pra todos. Se quiser me ajudar esse é meu pix: 38460076091 ou me chame no whats: (51) 99719-1798
