Red Flag made the top 10 Billboard charts in 1988 with their memorable song Russian Radio. The next year Red Flag's debut album, Naive Art, released by Enigma Records, earned them another top 10 single on the Billboard Dance chart with "If I Ever". MTV put Red Flag's video, Russian Radio, in rotation later that year. Touring extensively, Red Flag played with acts Devo, Thomas Dolby, and Book of Love. They appeared on the TV show American Bandstand where they performed Russian Radio.
Since then, Red Flag released 11 albums, 14 CD singles, two box sets and appeared on numerous compilations. Their music has been featured on MTV reality shows. The band has played concerts around the world in the U.S., Europe, Canada, Mexico, and South America.

In My Dreams
Red Flag Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Deep, deep, deep
While a song somewhere
Is never quite complete
Remains of perfection
That await detection
In my dreams I am chasing
But the dreams that I'm chasing
Are not dreams, they are true
The music has faded
While the memory remains
I whisper your name
Listen dear can you hear
The sounds all around
They were in my mind
Written for you to find
And when you do remember to
Take a look all around you
The opening lines of Red Flag's song In My Dreams depict a state of deep, undisturbed sleep but with a distant tune playing somewhere that never seems to end. The idea of an incomplete song symbolizes the elusive and unfinished nature of our dreams. While we try to chase after them and give them some shape, they remain an enigma, an echo of what perfection could have been. The second verse introduces the theme of longing, as the singer pursues someone they want to be with in their dreams. The repetition of "in my dreams" highlights the impossibility of this union, as they can't seem to connect with this person in reality. This disconnect between fantasy and reality is emphasized in the lines "the dreams that I'm chasing are not dreams, they are true", implying that the dream world feels more real than the actual one.
The chorus conveys a sense of melancholy, with the music having faded away but the memory of it remaining. This loss is tangible in the whispered name of the person being pursued, a subtle indication that they might not be there anymore. The verse "listen dear can you hear the sounds all around, they were in my mind written for you to find, and when you do remember to take a look all around you" is a reminder to pay attention to the beauty that exists in the world around us, rather than getting lost in dreams and longing. It suggests that the person being chased after may have missed out on something special right in front of them.
Overall, the lyrics of In My Dreams examine the blurry line between dreams and reality, and the ways in which we try to reconcile the two. It also touches on the emotional turmoil of unrequited love, and the importance of being present in the moment.
Line by Line Meaning
Fast asleep complete
Fully asleep and unaware of the surroundings
Deep, deep, deep
In a state of deep sleep
While a song somewhere
In the background, there is a song playing
Is never quite complete
The song is missing something
Remains of perfection
There are elements of perfection that are present
That await detection
But they need to be found or discovered
In my dreams I am chasing
While asleep, I am pursuing
In my dreams after you
In my dreams, I am following you
But the dreams that I'm chasing
But these dreams are not just dreams
Are not dreams, they are true
They are a reality that I am pursuing while asleep
The music has faded
The song playing in the background is no longer audible
While the memory remains
But the memory of it persists
I whisper your name
In my sleep, I call your name
Listen dear can you hear
Do you hear what I am saying?
The sounds all around
The sounds in my dreams that surround me
They were in my mind
But they were just in my head
Written for you to find
I have composed these sounds for you
And when you do remember to
When you find them, remember to
Take a look all around you
Look at your surroundings

Always thought this would’ve been a good song to release as a single in the middle of Summer back when it came out on The Lighthouse.
Eric Bear!
Can't understand why they don't have this song on Spotify or their own YouTube channel.
