Face Of The Flag

Be strong, nothing that is good is easy. Even when everyone seems to be telling you to give up, be true to yourself. This song came to me in a dream. In that dream, I was singing a country song. You have to realize, I am, uh, not really a fan of new country. I am being diplomatic. Anyway, there I was, singing this song (just that line-Face of the Flag) in the dream, complete with a new country style band and backing track. It was freakin’ majestic in all of it’s new country big sound and over the top production. Maybe I should really call it a nightmare. Anyway, I woke myself up and was still hearing it in my head, so I figured “Why not?”, so I blindly dragged my dictation machine over and hummed the melody and the line “Face of the flag” into it for about a minute. You can even hear me say “What the hell, I am doing country now?!?” as I stopped recording. So, I sat on it for over a year and decided this year to give it a go, but minus the new country feel and overtones.
