  • im sorry is the name of this song really kiss the flag i cant find it in the discography

    any help pls?

  • @Chickenedful yeah the song is "Kiss The Flag" its track 4 from Evans Blue's second album (The Pursuit Begins When This Portrayal Of Life Ends)

  • i cant stop crying..

  • Does anyone have any information on the picture from 3:35 of the crying boy? Or at least a link to the picture?

  • Jason, Griffith, Luke, and Chris this song reminds me so much of you all. It think of all you, great times and not so great times, every single day. I miss you all so much. All I ask is that you all save a spot for me at the Fiddler's Green.

  • I love this song. It has so much impact on people.

  • The line, 'I'd do anything to have him back,' gives me chills every time I hear it.

  • @facetiousbadger the part i like the most is "I wanted,All I wanted was to find

    Something here inside of me they couldn't keep They woke up to hear me screaming" because he prob was a war prisoner :c

  • @StarzOut I interpret that part as the family being notified of their loved one's death.  I know this is about any war, but I feel this as being an Iraq or Afghanistan song. The day there is night in America. I view it as a soldier dying during the day (when most operations are conducted), and the family being awakened by the casualty notification team.

  • The best part of this song is, "she said, 'I'd do anything to have him back" It's a punch to the gut. I was deployed to Afghanistan twice, and just from hearing that line gave me an inkling of what my family would feel if I didn't make it back alive.

  • @facetiousbadger Glad your safe man. :)

  • @whoizmattt Thanks. Some of my friends weren't as fortunate. IMO this song fits the reality of war perfectly as well as the anguish of those left behind. It's poignant without being political, and is one of the few war songs that everyone on the political spectrum can appreciate and identify with.

  • 20yr retired Navy Hospital Corpsman here and I love your work. This song is right up there with Mike Corrado Band's "My Watch". Both songs rock man!

  • i been in for 5 years came home on leave from afghanistan was listening to this song walkin threw midway airport tryin to find my gf at the time who was pickin me up and this lady walks up to me and motions for me to take my earbuds out like she wanted to talk to me or somethin so i did i no more got them outta my ear and she spit in my face an called me a baby killer im not the one to care usually but about 5 mins before that my best friend got blown up an severely injured.....love this song

  • @0809oef people like that really infuriate me, your out there putting your life in danger to protect us and our freedoms and that ungrateful bitch spits in your face when she should be thanking you for your service. I hope your friend is doing better.

  • I don't normally do this, but i could'nt help it. I could'nt understand what kind of person would dislike this. I wondered what kind of a person could be so heartless and not consider the many who gave thier lives, who left everything, thier children, thier families so you could live freely and asked for nothing in return. Any one of these people could be someone you know, your friend, brother, or your cousin. Maybe this song is'nt for you "like" it's to honor those selfless individuals...

  • Wow who dislikes this? Person has no heart

  • i just want to comment on all those who are say negiative things about the miltary. That is what shows youre ingorance beacause yall dont relize that our soldiers are dieing for you to have the right to say those things. I have so much respect for those who fight and for those who love them while they are away. God bless those who are at home now and are fightin, ang god bless those who never made it home, Thank yall for youre sacrifice

  • this is the pain war brings and very few joys are ever gained from war, the only people who would really benefit are the ones that send your loved ones away so they can put more money in their own pockets. no one is free as long as something as crude as money is still on this planet

  • @reveth739 Let the manipulators do the work behind desks and microphones. Many of our friends go over because they want to at first, and get opened up to an entire new reality. My buddy will never be the same - he lost too many. I get cynical about politics, but if you would like to do something... start sending packages. 

  • @johnson447 everyone can also stop supporting the monetary system

  • you know whats sad, out of a class of 30 ....me and 3 other students are the only ones that stand for the pledge of allegiance

  • @gdnoob4 in my school..people are forced to stand..but me and 1 other student say the pledge of allegiance

  • @MARSHMELLOWBOOTY252 they make you stand? good for them they need to do that in my school. its fucking disrespectful. im glad that you say the pledge unlike our lazy classmates. thank you

  • matisyn makes absolutely beautiful music

  • I loved that job beside that part of hearing of people dying you know that can be a lil tough at times but we drive on and I don't care bout this branch thing I was with marines and some of them are no different just more brainwashed but anyways RIP to the soilders I was in basic, AIT, I severed with overseas with that passed HOOAH

  • if this doesnt jerk a tear from you then maby youve never served. if this doesnt invoke some sort emotion from you then maby you've never been without that freedom you enjoy so much whose cost is much more than any one person could endure. as much for those left behind as those who have passed. GOD BLESS THOSE SOLDIERS ALBEIT WHOSE EVER FREEDOM THEY SECURE. may the rest of us(including those left behind) rest easy knowing our debt is paid.

    V/r one left-behind.

  • <3 this song

  • Idfk what others say each branch does it's job to protect our freedom army navy marines air force, it don't matter all have their purpose

  • I LOVE HOW THE PICTURES ARE ALL AMERICAN BUT THE BAND AND SINGER ARE CANADIAN. just goes to show how americans think there the only ones fighting for their country

  • @stevenr482 He says THE RED WHITE AND BLUE.....last I checked those are not Canadian Colors!

  • @stevenr482 In saying so I understand that the band may be originally Canadian, and I do know from personal experience that they are not the only ones fighting overseas..just that the U.S. is spearheading the current conflict. Either way if you use the lyrics Red White & Blue it is commonly joined with the thought of our American Colors (and Colors refers to "Flag" among those that have not served)...I am not trying to degrade your comment but follow the chorus closely....

  • it doesnt matter if you are in the usmc or the navy you are still part of our country and thats what matters

  • I reeeally don't see the appeal of joining the army and stuff but i guess it's your perogative.

    Either way, the song's beautiful.

  • God bless all of the men and women serving their countries.

  • i want to be in the navy. CUZ EVERYBODY KEEPS SAYING IM A NOBODY AND IM NOT WORTH ANYTHING! I'L PROVE THEM FUCKING WRONG!!!! THUMPS UP IF U HATE PEOPLE THAT R SELFISH AND ARENT CONSIDERATE FOR THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE THIS COUNTRY BE FREE

  • @78mckayla Uh, not to rain on your parade anymore than everyone apparently already has, but how will going to the navy prove them wrong? I don't get it.

  • @78mckayla The Navy? To prove your worthy, join the Marines and you will get respect.

  • i want to be in the navy. CUZ EVERYBODY KEEPS SAYING IM A NOBODY AND IM NOT WORTH ANYTHING! I'L PROVE THEM FUCKING WRONG!!!!

  • i fell in love with this song when i first heard it. all i want to say is iam thankful for ALL the soliders

  • @jackson92119- Yeah actually you twit I spend my time working, raising my children, & volunteering to make this world a better place. Instead of worrying about me worry about your self. It has been a year since I made this comment & I don't spend all day on you tube. When you make stupid comments yeah I am gonna respond. Instead of worrying about me, worry about your self.

    For anyone wondering my husband came home safely & as soon as he came home we got orders to Belgium =) Have a good day all

  • i am a soldier and this song is by far one of my favorites by evans blue

  • Kiss the flag 2: The widow.......check it out

  • new Parabelle Record is up go to their website at cynicalinc dot comm New Music Video Coming Soon. Music from the ex singer of evans blue. New music video Kiss the Flag: The widow

  • Through all the racism, the hate, the anger, and the self-destructive ways we seem to belittle each other here in this great country, when you see our soldiers stand together, it really shows how we are all equal.

    God bless those great soldiers; giving their lives for such a great cause.

    I can't wait to enlist. I'm going to make my mom proud of me ..

  • Love this song but Evans Blue is Canadian so idk whats with all the american stuff? Legit I fucking love what our troops both Canadian and American do I am right now in the reserves for Canada waiting to be 18 to join the CF and i know guys who have almost died for us so this song really touches me.

  • amen god bless america

  • Kiss the flag: the widow comes out soon by Parabelle, Kevin from Evans Blue new band !

  • Parabelle "kiss the flag: The widow" sequel to this song comes out soon!

  • @kimmimaroxjuugo We dont imagine that things will suddenly be all right, but we'll keep fighting as long as there's something worth protecting. We know what we signed up for.

  • This song sends chills down spine everytime I hear it and turns my eyes into a waterfall

  • This song makes me sad espically that last picture.I have cousins in the military currently and I'm always hoping their ok..

  • reguardless of your nation, this song is amazing. We take freedom for granted and I am grateful for the troops worldwide who keep us safe and protect us, our freedom and keep us safe. God bless them.

  • The soldiers don't die for their country, they die for the oligarchs and their greed.

  • The Soldiers die for eachother. But they fight for the oligarchs. Big difference there.

  • Beautiful song. I owe all my respect to these troops. I'm enlisting later this year. Serving my country would be the best thing I'll ever do.

  • Served in the U.S. Army for the past 4 years, spent 21 of those months in Afghanistan...two of my brothers also continue to serve. The most inportant thing you can do is show support and thank those who do what you either where not willing to do or simply could not. THANKS TROOPS, keep up the good wok!!!

  • Just enlisted yesterday. Can't wait to make my contribution to my country.

  • United States Troops have been helping the world nd for wat to be critizized by faggots like u hjaldemort. have soem respect for soldiers u fuckin nutless pussy

  • Major R.E.S.P.E.C.T. for anybody with balls enough to do what our troops do... I don't love war, but I'll be damned if I ever disrespect those who dodge bullets so that we may never have to.

    I hope they return to their families sans casket, and with hope that they might not have to do any of that again.

  • Guy's you don't get it

    The troops arent the ones being stupid and follish, they're just doing what they were told, they're the reason you guys have freedom, I repsect any soldier who fought for out country Jthompson Man i give you mad respect

  • and yes i am a soldier, and personally had my best friend blown up right in front of me. So if you don't have any good things to put on here, then stay the fuck away from it.

  • see you mother fuckers are truly the stupid fucks, do you think that this song has anything to do with our leaders or the fucked up bad decisions that they are making. the song is about our troops, OUR MOTHER FUCKING PEOPLE. that is what we care about. and if you have a problem with that you can kiss my ass. Fuck all you fucks. I hope you choke on the long dick of life, you ass stains.

  • @jthompson3737 hell yea man speakin the truth

  • instead of kissing the flag , u should kiss my balls and my ass .

  • My brother is going to Iraq October fourth. Hand picked by a Unit in Texas.

  • im joining the army in January, I cant wait but im worried too. I wanna be a gunner and a dog handler.

  • And i mean I want Air War more xD

    but i dont care i would still go fight in the ground war

  • All i want to do in this WORLD is become a Pilot Or a Soldier ! but Pilot looks more fun :)

  • Hopefully you're not color blind. I am, and it sucks. I can never be a pilot. :(

  • One of my uncles friends has that color blind problem too and he cant be a pilot either :(

  • To all those lost, to all those fighting, and to all those who have been killed for the sake of a few idiots who think its fun to go and blow themselves, i salut you.

  • It is the Soldier, not the minister Who has given us freedom of religion. It is the Soldier, not the reporter Who has given us freedom of the press. It is the Soldier, not the poet Who has given us freedom of speech. It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer Who has given us freedom to protest. It is the Soldier, not the lawyer Who has given us the right to a fair trial. It is the Soldier, not the politician Who has given us the right to vote.
  • It is the Soldier who salutes the flag,

    Who serves beneath the flag,

    And whose coffin is draped by the flag,

    Who allows the protester to burn the flag.

  • @AlexieStukov666 true say man true say

  • my heart goes out to all the love ones loved and lost....

    i cry for you everyday......

    and to the families,

    thank you

    MUCH LOVE

  • may those who passed on fighting for a cause they believe in rest in peace, and may those they left behind find peace on earth.

    3 cheers for the freedom fighters, the true heroes among men.

  • @ShougoKiba well said

  • @ShougoKiba amen brother

  • My husband is in Iraq right now and he has been there 6 long months. Sacrificing for this country and people are throwing there freedoms away. Our Troops are DYING for freedom and people are throwing it away it disgusts me

  • god bless u and your amazing,brave husband.. i have no idea what it must be like to be in your situation, but i feel for u and my heart goes out to u.. i hope he makes it home safely to you:)

  • Yeah, what the Hell is Wrong with people??

  • @usafwifeyJason i served for about 4 years and i cryed more than i can count. your husband will be ok, nothing can touch him, he has people there fighting with him they wont let him die, i know a man who died next to me, we were taking fire from the north then i herd a bing i looked to my right and then i saw him , he was dead.

  • what most people dont realize is its not the troops fault were in this war they're doing there orders from the crappy presidents

  • I love it... kill blacks dead

  • this is sad :(

  • great vid

    the song really say what it is like in war and wot people lose that are close to them

  • Comment removed

  • When my 18 and 20 year old joined the Army, they pretty much said to me.."You support in prayer...I shave my hair." That's what I call supporting the troops! (I would have rathered them stay home and someone like you join) Because of their service, two American Soliders were able to go home to their families. And because they joined, countless innocent Iraqis were saved. They DID NOT die for nothing!

    When you shave your hair, let me know.

    Freedom Ain't Free

    Freedom isn't free

  • @soldierskiss damn man thats touching

  • nothing? they died valiantly for their country.... whats wrong with you dude

  • have you ever watched the news? they have reasons.

  • Yeah, removing a genocidal leader from office was a horrible thing to do isn't it? They died for the prospect of bringing peace back to a country which hadn't had it in 30 years. That's worth it.

  • Where the fuck have you been hjaldemort? The Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, and Airmen died for freedom and the brothers and sisters next to them. They died for the freedom of both America, Iraq, and the rest of the world. They died for a free Iraq. They died for your freedom to leave your house without fearing terrorism. They died so the world could be free to live in peace. They died for freedom to live a happy life. They also died for each other most of all.

  • Well you country is just as bad as France. You guys really don't have a strong military and your country is only worth the girls. Your country doesn't do shit for the world except criticize every other country and bitch about everyone else. I could take over your shit country by myself

  • Your leaders are gay.

  • If you mean our current president, I'm going to agree with you. If you mean our military Commanders, then why don't you do us a favor and walk in from the enemy side and see how long you can avoid the gunfire from our 'sucky leaders'

    However, if you mean the president, I cannot agree more.

  • i was talking about hjaldemort.

  • hjaldemort, one thing you need to realize is that sweden hasnt does shit to stabalize the world. It was the U.S. that kept Germany at bay not once but twice after your country was ready to surrender. A simple thank you would have done just fine so dont respect the U.S. Im not even going to mention the countless other conflicts we have been in to prevent genocide and territorial wars. so keep your mouth shut and go back to letting the U.S. do all the work for you.

  • @hjaldemort

    fuck sweeden when have they contributed anything? they sit back and watch like pussies

  • eachother? how does that work?

  • Totally missed the point of Ruggers comment, aphroali. We´ll tolerate you having your opinions, but keep opinions about God to yourself. On a battlefield with those bullets wizzing around you there are no athiests my friend.

  • hes only saying good things.... keep that comment to yourself.. your right you did miss the point

  • AMEN.

  • Great! I admire America and the people who historically have made lots of sacrifice in order for us on the other side of the world feel a little safer with all those crazy nuke-heads around. If America goes down we all go down! God Bless America! and as a far-away cousin from Brazil, I think this video says a lot!Greetings from warm and sunny Brazil!

  • awesome pics and great song !

  • This song is very touching. As a person that has spent his fair share of time in Iraq, it is never easy when one of your friends don't get to come back home with you.

  • This song is very touching. I feel a tear in my eye and get goosebumps. The video is so powerful. I support all those soldiers out there fighting for America. You guys are my heros. If you don't support the War at least support those men and there families risking there live for you. God Bless Those Soldiers and the Families for all they risk and go through. God Bless America.

  • i appriciate this video and i pray everyday for my love to get back to me!

  • awsome

  • 3:02...that's an amazing picture

  • not my video but I like this one.

  • Evans blue is nothing without Kevin Matisyn.

  • @LostJerich thats exactly how i feel :( </3

  • this is not ganna be the same without kevin hope you get back to gether guys

  • is this parabelle?

  • no, it's evans blue, off of "the pursuit.." a song I did'nt like at first, but grew on me QUICK!, now one of my faves...

  • Evans Blue is one of the most amazing bands ever

  • gotta ditto that one bro, very rarely do i get chills, but this band WAS potentially the best ever, this song is case in point, along with Q, and dear lucid, the pursuit, Jiminy Crickets they were SWEEEEETTTT.

  • dont forget My Damsel

  • What CD is this on? Awesome video/song!

  • It's track 4 on their latest album "The Pursuit Begins When This Portrayal of Life Ends".

  • Thanks.

  • i love it <3

    this song means alot to me and my family because they r in the marines<3

    i love u guys!

  • God Bless America. Thank you, troops.

  • wow!!! this is an amazing video.... good job and keep up the good work

  • U.S.A. is what we are so stand by it and dont fall

  • I love Evans Blue! And this video is pretty cool. My bf just got home from overseas so it kinda hit close to home.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG

  • I just want to show my support for our troops. It angers me to see "Americans" piss and moan about things they don't have the balls to face. If you don't stand behind the troops, stand in front of them. Why live in America if you complain about rights the men and women fight for? Go live some where else! They fight for you to have freedom of speech, which you use to belittle them? Grow a set, walk a mile in their shoes, and then piss and moan about how "bad" things are. Thank you troops!

  • i second that

  • Woo Hoo! Nice one.

  • @krysurangel69 haha yeah one of those anti troop people mouthed off to my wife when i was serving and not around. one thing the girl didnt know was that my wife was a kick boxer and felt well disrespected. im betting that girl kept quiet after

  • @harvickfan82479 I have always wondered why people think the freedom of speech extends to criticizing the reasons why they have that right in the first place. Never made sense to me. I applaud your wife :) Thank you to you and the rest of the military as well as their families for doing your jobs and for putting up with others ignorance.

  • @krysurangel69 Try thousands of miles :D. Haha. You are totally right though.

  • The military turned out not being for me but this song got me through some AMAZINGLY tough times while I was in basic training and beyond. This song is a masterpiece. Thanks so much for carrying me through the last two+ years of my life, EB:)

  • MATISYN YOU ARE AMAZING

  • good job dude 5 * and to myy favorites

  • I really appreciate this song Evans|Blue, my Dad is going to Iraq for the third time next month, and I'll be leaving for Basic shortly after.

  • such an amazing band

    and such an amazing song

    i love these guys

  • For those of you who have never fought for your country. You can kiss my ass and thank me and the rest of our troops for providing you with the freedom to run your sucks. As much as I hate to admit it I fought for the rights of you and your ignorant opinions. Maybe someday you'll get your wish when Obama gets elected and you'll start speaking arabic. God bless our troops and Semper Fi!

  • Damn straight hoo rah

  • Hope all them baby killers get it. and get it good. Joining the army you KNOW YOU CAN BE KILLED. But being a baby/woman/ civil man you dont have that choice and all our troops kill 10,000s of ppl who did nothing wrong

  • you worth less fuck the fact that my friends died and that i risked my life and spent the last two years learning to walk again make me sick. i'd like to see you say that to my face no any soldiers face but you'll just hide behind this sites free anonymity plus you can't say shit you never went you didn't see the truth you just watch the news

  • I would knock ur non walking ass out and i spit on the graves of you dead fuck face friends. Allah Arkba Death to the invaders. LOL YOUR FRIENDS ARE DEAD AND MORE ARE GOING TO DIE

  • only in your dreams oh yeah just so you know i smashed in the head of the guy who killed them and he was a foot taller then me if fact you pussys can't fight for shit every time you pulled something new we returned the favor ten fold now come to ohio and tell me what flight and airport i'll bring a camera and post me kicking you ass on your page here

  • um its allah hu akbar...apparently you're not arab, which translates to God the greatest. Guess you supported Saddam his use of chemical weapons on the Kurds and the Shia?

  • that was auwful and i joined in hopes of catching Sadam for that and i know what allah hu akbar means i raed the quran (i don't know how it's spelled)

  • I was referring to Cujocricket he miss wrote it, I served in our army as well.

  • oh well it came up on my screen so i thought it was for me

  • I've lost friends over there too, and I know people still going over, but yea that is my fault and I should have clarified

  • that's alright what unit did you serve in?

  • He Served in sucking cock and not knowing shit for 1 it is allah arkba the Hu part. Where the fuck did it come from? And yes i was in a war 2 years ago in leb vs israel i did not kill anyone because they were airplane warriors. anyways fuck saddam never said i like him but the iraqi people fucked america up for being just low class civillins

  • its arkba? never heard of it and I read and write arabic so ok guess you are right.

    alpha battery 3rd battalion 18th field artillery.

    Allahu aqbar is actually more appropriate, I place the hu at te end because that is how the damma is used at the end of the Haa. the

  • Served in the 3rd battalion 18th field artillery regiment.

    Allahu Aqbar is actually the more appropriate transliteration based on the fact that the damma is not an actual arabic letter. Qaaf is best translated to q rather than K which is used for the kaaf. I do read and write arabic as well as speak it. I speak with an Iraqi dialect.

  • 1st Brigade, 25th Infantry Division (SBCT) tomcat squad (the five of us in my squad was single at the time and we always fought so it came to us)

  • you stupid fuck. you dont know shit. you want to know why our troops are killing civilians? because civilians are attacking our troops through suicide bombing or just plain firing on them. you apparently dont know shit you stupid fucker. you calling them babykillers just makes it worse do you think they want to? they have no choice when the enemy is using THEIR OWN people as human shields. you want to blame someone for killing civilians blame the people using them as shields you fucking retard.

  • i wish you tube would ban cujocricket pathetic ass

  • Seeing the woman in that t-shirt crying while being hugged by her friend/relative, and hearing the line "He kissed the flag before he died, she said "I'd do anything to have him back" " makes me want to cry to...u.u;

  • Thank u for fighting for us. We love u!!!

  • thank u

  • thank you from me and what i remeber of my friends who are gone now.
