Big Country - The Flame Of The West

[@jamesbelljr]

I BOUGHT THIS ALBUM WHEN I WAS STATIONED AT FT CAMPBELL,KY WE DEPLOYED TO DEATH VALLEY IN 1984, FOR SOME REASON MY WHOLE TIME THERE I COULD NOT GET THIS SONG OUT OF MY HEAD..THIS BIG COUNTRY ALBUM WAS VERY UNDERRATED IN THE U.S.

[@johnweinberger128]

epic song. I totally agree with you

[@yodude5534]

Someone knows what's up... not just with this song... great vid... thanks... RIP Stuart

[@carlrichmond3508]

All time classic

[@copenhusker5572]

Love the song & Reagan! Of course, I was age 9-17 when he was in office so what did I know about politics? But, those were good times in my memory and for our Country.

This presidency to my mind marks the beginning of the end as far as I can tell.

I remember Beirut. I enlisted with Fervor

This was a great album-held the New LP in my hands. It’s not about Reagan. It’s about Corporal Adolph Hitler: Schickelgruver.

[@dannywhittingham4849]

the clue is in the title and the fact he uses DOLLARS as the currency, plus remember Reagan was an "ancient actor"

[@MultiRandyD]

Great video! ;)

[@meneldur19]

You mean...this song isn't about Aragorn?

[@KMG68]

How interesting this video is thru the backwards looking lens. Bush Sr. was the first to use the term, New World Order. And Reagan warned us to keep an eye on our govt.

[@seanhiggins2740]

To me, the song seems more about Hitler.

[@scotbotvideos]

+Stephen Lothlorien Stuart Adamson (RIP), who's singing and who wrote the song, said it was about Ronald Reagan.

[@jamesburge1983]

definitely, Reagan. The fact that the two figures can be confused tells you a lot about both figures.

[@dannywhittingham4849]

see my comments to KNox higher up....defo a n anti war anti neo liberalist reagon and thatcher song...that sadly will continue throughout capitalism in its current form

[@dcxxx6850]

Of course it’s about Reagan … just read the lyrics. His rhetoric nearly destroyed the world!

[@Fpstup]

Could’ve been written last week with these lyrics 😢

[@geordieexile6236]

Very poignant song....anti war...not anti soldier, but still we send them in.......
