[Music] Looking for a song.

[Sylar Hao]

Today while I was driving back home from college I was listening to a rock channel in the radio and a song was played. I remembered that I've seen some warcraftmovies video in which this song was also played, and I really like it. I couldn't understand well neither its name nor its group/singer. I'm from Spain and though I don't usually have problems understanding English lyrics, this one was harder than usual, maybe because I was stunned after more than 8h of lessons XD.

I'll try give some details about it, so you may know which song it is.

The song is just the singer's voice and a guitar played acoustic (not sure if there were drums, but I think not). The lyrics talk about a man (probably a soldier or similar) in a battle/war, and he remembers his family and home. And the chorus talks that all he has is its banner (probably the one of his country) and that he'll defend it bravely. The singer's voice reminds me to the one of Nickleback's singer.

I've tried to google it, but haven't found it, I got all the time a rap song about of some guy named David Banner XD.

Thanks in advance, and sorry for my probably badly written English XD.

That would be my best guess. Unless it's a country song I'm not aware of.

By the way, to the OP: Your English is excellent. No need to apologize. I wish I could speak/write Spanish that well.

Omg, I love you XD, it's the first one. Thank you buddy

I can see why you had a little trouble understanding some of the words. His style can make it hard to accurately discern some of the lyrics on the first go 'round for even this English speaking American. So, hopefully seeing the words in print will help you:

He said "Son, have you seen the world?
Well, what would you say if I said that you could?
Just carry this gun and you'll even get paid."
I said "That sounds pretty good."

Black leather boots
Spit-shined so bright
They cut off my hair but it looked alright
We marched and we sang
We all became friends
As we learned how to fight

A hero of war
Yeah that's what I'll be
And when I come home
They'll be damn proud of me
I'll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Because it's a flag that I love
And a flag that I trust

I kicked in the door
I yelled my commands
The children, they cried
But I got my man
We took him away
A bag over his face
From his family and his friends

They took off his clothes
They pissed in his hands
I told them to stop
But then I joined in
We beat him with guns
And batons not just once
But again and again

A hero of war
Yeah that's what I'll be
And when I come home
They'll be damn proud of me
I'll carry this flag
To the grave if I must
Because it's a flag that I love
And a flag that I trust

She walked through bullets and haze
I asked her to stop
I begged her to stay
But she pressed on
So I lifted my gun
And I fired away

The shells jumped through the smoke
And into the sand
That the blood now had soaked
She collapsed with a flag in her hand
A flag white as snow

A hero of war
Is that what they see
Just medals and scars
So damn proud of me
And I brought home that flag
Now it gathers dust
But it's a flag that I love
It's the only flag I trust

He said, "Son, have you seen the world?
Well what would you say, if I said that you could?"

Thank you very much . Although it may sound weird, I've mainly learned English by listening to English songs, reading a few books and playing videogames XD, I've bearly took English classes when I was a little boy. In fact, I've took French and Italian lesson at school and university and I don't speak them as well as English. The funny thing is that my mother, my sister and I are all French XD (but live in Spain).

I can see why you had a little trouble understanding some of the words. His style can make it hard to accurately discern some of the lyrics on the first go 'round for even this English speaking American. So, hopefully seeing the words in print will help you:

Now that I've listened to the song and read its lyrics (thank you for posting them) I can see that maybe I couldn't understand much of it because of the singer's accent, I don't know how to explain it but its not as "clear" or "accurate" as other singers' are. In fact, some words were unspected after reading it, i.e.: "Yeah that's what I'll be", "We marched and we sang", "As we learned how to fight", are pronounced so fluid and soft (not sure if they are right words to define an accent) that I misunderstood them XD.

Anyways, it's a nice accent, it reminds me a bit of the accent we use in the south of Spain.
Oh, I forgot to say: what an awesome song, it has made me tremble :O

Hi guys!
I'm looking for a song. Unfortunately I can only remember a few distunguishing features. The chorus part vas very high-pitched and the tempo was quick. The chorus sounds like "ke ke ke... [text i can't remember :P]". I guess it was from the 90's or the early 20's. I hope someone can help me. If this is not enough i could whistle it. Thanks in advance!
