lennyrott1 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 The more I listen, the more I hear elements of Arcade Fire & The Beatles. This is a kickass b-side. Some of their best lyrics. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab005 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) M Marks The Spot said: Hello. I've just managed to download Flags in both MP3 (320kbps) and FLAC. However I have no idea where the files come from originally because I obtained them from a website which seems to spread audio files purchased from legal sources. Any chance i could get a dm or an email? Edited March 30, 2023 by lab005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deltadon Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Anyone else have Flags mp3 that freaks out at about 2:55? Almost sounds like a skip from the old cd days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haruka Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 The only thing that bothers me is the drums.... Sound a little bit to rigid and not organic, but it reminds me of PM era (which is good) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdckcom Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I wonder if the verse in this song that talks about the "Holy Roman Army" is in reference to the catholic church. These lyrics are so reminiscent of the VLV era. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ysthomas Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I would gladly pay for this track, but since that isn’t an option, could anyone send me a copy via dm? Thanks in advance if you could. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danjospri Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I really love this track. Would probably push Guns out of my top five (Church, Trouble In Town, Arabesque, Champion Of The World) if it were on the main album. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42Escapist Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Anyone else getting strong pro LGTBQ+ vibes from the song (Pyotr Tchaikovsky was gay after all)? Anyways this should have totally been on the album IMHO. WHUAT how can you not know this famous componist! D: Yes, if you don't know the roman empire was pro queer, and Tchaikovsky had several secret gay romances, I find the song somewhat random in those aspects. But Chris is also singing about flags "You don't need no flags to tell you who you are " I just think about the Pride Flag and how it's still necessary to show people that queers are also humans. So all these three aspects combined all share the same "secret" message and I love that :D And concluding: "And I just love you for yourself " I LIKE THIS SONG AND ITS MESSAGE VERY MUCH I never thought of it this way... I thought the Tchaikovsky lyric was just Chris trying to sound poetic or reference some work of his, and I thought of the references to flags as referring to nationalities/immigration, but honestly you may be onto something. Regardless, the "I just love you for yourself" message is so wholesome, and I like when Coldplay can be that way in a song without it sounding really cheesy. I wonder if the verse in this song that talks about the "Holy Roman Army" is in reference to the catholic church. These lyrics are so reminiscent of the VLV era. I thought that too... The lyrics mention "La Varsovienne," which is the French name of two different Polish revolutionary songs from the 19th and 20th centuries, respectively. There are some very Viva-esque themes here... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coeurli Posted November 30, 2019 Author Share Posted November 30, 2019 I agree with Batman (HI Thalia btw :heart_eyes:) that the song has strong LGBTQ+ support vibes, ESPECIALLY considering that flags themselves are a huge part of how these communities have raised awareness over the years, and the lyrics about wanting to be free to be yourself.... Now obviously this sort of Coldplay song never has one meaning only, it could also totally be about flags as nationalities, and anyway I think this song is to be understood in the broader sense (whoever you are, be yourself and love yourself and love truly without caring about what anyone thinks). It's really about empathy once again. I think the lyrics are so powerful and beautiful, it's such a warm hug really. I love the Travis feel to it too. It feels lighter than the rest of the album. I don't think it matches the album so well though, musically, and I totally get why it's not in the main edition. But it's a great addition and I'm glad they released it somewhere somehow, I'm really grateful. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran away Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Can I have a PM please ? @Captain Crieff JUST KIDDING ! I love Flags, it sounds like an AROBTTH B-side with Vivaesque lyrics to me. And since I read the lyrics I can't stop thinking about a group of skeletons sitting around their coffees at a table chatting.... :D And that last "Oh I just love you for yourself" :heart: 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
