What is Red Flags?
One of the greatest dreams of a human being in the times of social networks is to be able to express one's spiritual nakedness throug words; telling stories, expressing thoughts as a release but also as a mean to help those who have gone through a sort of loss of identity, having lost touch with themselves and the others.
When is nor possible neither safe to do this publicly, the escamotage is to write an album, a book, to create something to heal the wounds that cannot be healed. This is precisely whereRed Flagsgot its own inception.
The songs of Red Flags spring from a derailed soul, devastated by events and abandonments.
The Red Flags are an image for the lines of behaviours not to be crossed, not to be challenged.
Red Flags does not want to be a first aid manual or handbook for sick or toxic minds, but simply an example of how the soul, the heart and the head can react to repeated mourning.
The music is soft, liberating, it is a lament of the soul, engaged in an harmonious dialogue between the reality as it is or how it was and how it should have been.
