    Then a couple of days ago, I made the terrible mistake of googling what a "red flag day" meant, and lemme tell ya, urban dictionary has a way different point of view on this song...
    I did and saw the same thing
  2. Have this song stuck in my head, has grown a lot on me the past few days.

  5. My play count for this song has to be in the hundreds by now. Can't get enough of it. It's stuck in my head 24/7 and I'm loving it.
  6. When I listen to this album drunk I will probably accept this song for the funky number it is whilst reflecting on its serious undertone. Then have another pint.
  7. One of my favs

    Even though I could have guessed the red flag meant some sort of danger I was unaware of the warning codes for the flags so thank you for this insight. It’s quite a heartbreaking song really, I think this and summer of love should remain side by side live.


    Am I crazy to think that pairing these together could work as the opening two songs of the encore? Really enjoying this song, too. Definite sounds of "War."

    I had pictured them being played on the e stage or alternatively around 6 or 7 songs in. However as long as we’re gettig them live i’d be more than happy to take them as the opening songs of the encore.
  10. Lyrics correction:

    Paradise is a place
    you can't see when it's yours
  12. Adam Clayton, take a bow. One of his best bass parts, what a great groove. Going to learn this right away!

    Definitely a highlight for Larry as well.
