One listens—that is all it takes to know that Frank Spinney’s “Heroes” will stay with you forever; indelibly ingrained on your heart and soul. That catchy, infectious, and solemn chorus:
“That’s what heroes are made of
The courage to look danger right in the eye
Yeah, that’s what heroes are made of
The faith to face fear and never question whY is the capstone of this masterpiece. It has been delivered with a warm, somber, and foreboding tone, as Frank Spinney’s soulfully rich lead vocals and the backing vocal harmonies add emotional depth to a song that touches the listener deep into their hearts and souls.
Taking us through the story of a soldier caught up deep in the battlefield with an injured comrade he must carry to safety, “Heroes” echoes Frank’s long and diverse journey in the music and entertainment industry. A journey that has been far from smooth but one he has faced with steadfast courage and resilience. His relentless dedication to his craft and unwavering willingness to give back to the community through charity embody a man not only with a towering depth but also with a mammoth heart.
The song’s acoustic foundation contributes to its mellowness and gentle, easy-going vibe. The stringed violin underscores the song’s sorrowful atmosphere, which wraps around a listener like a consoling embrace.
I also love how, towards the end, the gently and solemnly struck percussive drum kicks are integrated, signifying the soldier’s act of dignity, courage, resilience, and steadfastness in the face of death.
“Heroes” is a single off of Frank’s personal-fueled album “Songs from the Heart.” It features many endearing and heartfelt tunes that feel less like songs and more like personal conversations—from Frank’s heart to your soul!
