Flying Colors is Mike Portnoy (drums, vocals), Dave LaRue (bass), Neal Morse (keyboards, vocals), Casey McPherson (lead vocals, guitar), and Steve Morse (guitar). "This album has bits and pieces of what you'd expect from each of us," says Portnoy. "The sum of all its parts led to brand new, unchartered territory for everyone involved."
The formation of Flying Colors began with an idea from executive producer Bill Evans: virtuoso musicians and a pop singer joining together to make new-fashioned music...the old fashioned way. Real songs. Real instruments. Real music.
Refreshing, classic, old and new, the recordings are saturated with the many styles, tones and hues of the musicians themselves. Together, they create a unique fusion of vintage craftsmanship and contemporary rock.
Produced by Peter Collins / Mixed by Michael Brauer / Mastered by Howie Weinberg

Amazing…I’ve been a Steve Morse fan since Dixie Dregs…I hear influences from Yes, Kansas, Genesis, The Beach Boys, The Beatles…these guys have something special…🎶

[@thomastegtmeier]

Why not 400.000.000 clicks? Why?... This is not the only big song of Flying Colors. They all deserve more clicks.

[@mrshelfsong]

crazy that I discover this amazing video 8 years after it's posting. It pushes all the right buttons for me

[@Deppel57]

Real musicians who sound like they love their art-gives you hope.

[@MakPortnoy]

Wow!!! The Flying Colors CD was already tremendous. This video just added to its epicness.

[@Pppoosch]

Oh God!!! What did I just ??? ... This is fabulous, amazing...

[@MarkTiarra]

I haven't heard anything this adventurous, yet with such melodic accessibility since Yes. Love it.

[@kingmikol]

Great post, and accurate in my opinion! One other group comes to mind also, Kansas.

[@rodcastello7780]

I was thinking YES as well, but also Kansas too.

[@WesternMace]

I think it's something Haken will acquire over time, and i'd also say it's been something that has been touched by porcupine tree, Rush, and Early DT.... oh, and how about queen?? :)

[@archonio]

Yes definately comes to mind, but the way Neil Morse plays mellotron in this song also reminds me of Tony Banks' playing from Peter Gabriel-era Genesis.

[@tonypowell250]

Portnoy needs to quit grandpa chasing and get his ass back to DT already.

[@countrysamurai]

It's incredible that this doesn't have tens of millions of views! I have been a huge fan of Steve Morse for over 35 years....Mike Portnoy (DT is my fave band!) over 25 years and I just found out about this project looking around on Amazon. I immediately bought both CD's and I absolutely love them! As brilliant as this is....it amazes me how little people know about music and the shit they listen to. WTF? Incredible video...it is a piece of fine art!

[@FlyingColorsMusic]

+countrysamurai thanks…well…we've actually been pretty lucky. not kanye west's kanye best lucky. (although the same guy mixed us.) but still pretty lucky. steve once said the best guitarist in the world is a guy no one's heard of. always keep an ear out…

[@countrysamurai]

+Flying Colors Wow, thank you and you are very welcome. I neglected to mention how incredibly talented everyone in the band is. I am well aware of Dave's body of work as well and am a huge fan. With these CD's, I found out about Neal and Casey and am now a fan of theirs! I have to ask....are you a member of the band? Thanks again.....

[@rodiebobwilliams1330]

I agree. I was on Morse right after the Dregs split in1981....Amazing technician .. I have a feeling this was a two album project, or a floating one..Hella greatness to see PORTNOY with Morse..McPhearson nice surprise here ..Cool vocal chops amongst the fusion landscapes..Morse and crew killer!

[@harryor01]

Amen

[@nascarpj5723]

"it amazes me how little people know about music and the shit they listen to." Exactly! I saw the Dregs in 1980 at Brasse's in Cocoa and tried to follow them but lost hope after Steve joined Kansas and Andy West transitioned into computers. Lo and Behold they reunited and toured across Fl where I saw them in Clearwater. NEVER thought they'd reunite. Flying Colors is just as Awesome! OK now there are vocals, so why don't the commercial networks play them? (That was the excuse the music industry gave Steve years ago when the Dregs were underpaid....)

[@jerrythepotato1919]

I love falling asleep to this song. It's like I'm in a different world... the atmosphere is incredible.

[@Marc_Papeghin]

It is an amazing piece of music...still gives me goosebumps even though I've listened to it hundreds of times !

[@guitar1977]

This music isn't just epic, it's incredible. And also slightly tragic that most people on earth won't hear this - that said I have heard it and I love it! This now forms part of my DNA and I have no qualms shouting about it from the highest mountain from here until eternity and the end. Thank you and I swear when I can, I will be buying all the albums! What I love is that it's real music, not just a bunch of virtuosos shreading as fast as they can.

[@guitar1977]

Plus.... Great video! As someone who likes making films too (not to your level) this is excellent work.

[@peterracer1]

I don't know why, or what for....but anything Neal or Mike does makes me want to revalue myself and my walk. They encourage me to higher places...Thank you Neal and Flying Colors.

[@Marc_Papeghin]

I perfectly know what you mean... their music truly is one of a kind ! It speaks to me like no other

[@peterracer1]

Every time I listen and watch this vid, it brings me to tears, I can close my eyes and see the greatness of this Godly creation....again thank you Flying Colors. Keep up the good work, Neal, Mike,Neal,Dave,Casey!!

[@jonlennon3348]

Steve Morse is one of my favorite guitar virtuoso's alive and well with such a wonderful touch on the fretboard only equaled by one other man Eric Johnson.. I hope Flying Colors comes to Rochester,ny or close by to see the band live!

[@dabull136]

The BEST song on the debut album by far....a contemporary prog masterpiece actually! And a very good video to go along with it. All 5 musicians at the top of their game on this one. One can only hope there are some gems like this on the new one....

[@yacinelouadj407]

The beauty of Prog is that when you think that this is the end of the song, ..... the song unfold with beautifully writing music ... this is what happen at 4:40.....

[@awakethemaster]

One of the best Group and of course Portnoy it's part. No doubt an underrated song. 🤘

[@Yuakin6]

I mean, Haken's video remains the best music video ever, but this is just mind blowing. All I can say is THANK YOU! You are a true artist!!!

[@amgere2195]

KZbin needs an "I Love" button. I love this so much!

[@FlyingColorsMusic]

Outstanding video…look forward to working with you.

[@jeffcookdotau]

I doubt that an official video would have been so well done. Flying Colors is my favourite band, and I wholeheartedly approve. Simply superb, Marc!!

[@danielprados27]

I'm really impressed by your work, Marc, at the video making. The music notation on the solo parts has definitely a lot going for it! As a fan of Progressive music and anything Neal Morse has done for it, I have really enjoyed it. Thanks a million and keep it up! :-)

[@Marc_Papeghin]

Daniel Prados Thanks a lot for your kind words Daniel ! Very glad you enjoyed it :)

[@AlfOfAllTrades]

A proper MUSIC video! :)

[@mpapeghin]

Here's the sheet music for the solos ! www.mediafire.com/file/l0ek3fmm8f5p7sf/Infinite%20Fire%20-%20Guitar%20and%20Keyboard%20Solos.pdf

[@rasterdude]

Oh my god I can't believe you actually gave the music sheet. I'm going to pleasure myself with this.

[@ericbergmueller2981]

The music notes part of your video is my favorite!

[@ericbergmueller2981]

Still loving this song, and the video as well. I love the parts where the notes go swirling by!

[@mickgentry8128]

Love it !!! What a great band of Musicians! What great music they make! Awesome!

[@Djerszium]

Bitter land of sight unseen Awaken at the altar... A simple man, a single dream; to live and never falter Back from the seas, he had to sail As time had slipped away now He lands in a place of mystery; there's no way he can stay now I will be with you I will be with you, again I will be (through the infinite fire) I will be with you, again One more chance to fight the fire That's raging through the forest The water here's in short supply; there's no way he can store it Reaching out across the swirl The wind is a restless danger Soon he'll reach the water's edge, and no more be a stranger I will be with you I will be with you, again I will be (through the infinite fire) I will be with you, again I will be with you I will be with you, again I will be (through the infinite fire) I will be with you, again I'm waiting, I'm waiting Bitter land of sight unseen The winter sun is so extreme We're seeking something different today Light the lamp from in the earth A nation from eternal birth Hold before me absolute sway Cover me in dust And hide me now As light and sound Come trickling down Giants turn to rust It's all going down Back to the ground Still I can heart the sound... I will be with you I will be with you, again I will be (through the infinite fire) I will be with you, again I will be with you I will be with you, again I will be (through the infinite fire) I will be with you, again Seasons and times may take you over Lead to you places you wouldn't go So many seeds sown by the sower Infinite fire come turn us to gold Seasons and times may take you over Lead you to places you wouldn't go Seasons and times may take you over Lead you to places you would never go

[@shi2oon1987]

Bella bella bella!!!

[@mpapeghin]

Grazie !!

[@loweffortproductions1985]

I like how you show the staff music that the guitarist and synth players were soloing on, I've never seen that in a music video before.

[@mpapeghin]

Thanks man ! I'd rarely seen that either, thought it'd be a pretty cool thing to watch :)

[@OnlyUnusedUsername]

Yeah, we never saw it either! And Marc got it right, too!!! The guy is genius, and it's wonderful to work with him-he's not just a brilliant editor but a professional musician, too.

[@None_of_your_business666]

Great video Marc. Thanks!!!

[@Ivo-gs8fg]

Stupenda meravigliosa unica un super Capolavoro.

[@hastingr]

This is possibly the best music video I have ever actually seen in 30 years. The fact that it is made by an amateur is amazing... Great job for a great song!

[@sensuspete1]

Just shows how intelligent, dedicated and talented MP's/Flying Colors fans are. Really impressive video to a great song. Well done!:)

[@diegof117]

That's a very very creative being with a lot of skills, time, and a lot of resources playig with his computer. Excellent!

[@loweffortproductions1985]

I can hear so many inspirations - Yes, Genesis, the singer's voice even kinda sounds like Chris Cornell's at the beginning if the song, then like Phil Collins' after the synth and guitar solos. And let me just tell you... I Love This Song Never change please.

[@mpapeghin]

It is indeed a brilliant melting pot of prog influences ! Both albums are absolutely wonderful

[@OnlyUnusedUsername]

Hi Shane, thanks-glad you enjoy. Hope you enjoyed our follow-up album, and will like our forthcoming third studio album.

[@suricatakat6476]

Wow, this is a gorgeous video set to a fantastic song. So many wonderful elements to this. Beautiful work!

[@mpapeghin]

+Suricata Kat Thank you !

[@Marc_Papeghin]

Thank you :)

[@gtokidmos]

What a truly fantastic video.

[@martincawthraymc]

Superb stuff Marc. Virtuoso musicians playing REAL music matched to great visuals. Who could ask for more?

[@adamvalls5094]

How did they get Portnoy? Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge, huge Mike Portnoy fan but this is Steve Morse and Dave Larue we're talking about. Portnoy is a huge Dixie Dregs fan, I'm sure he's saying "how dud we get Steve Morse and Dave Larue?"

[@Edje001]

Best music video ever!

[@mpapeghin]

Thank you !!

[@OnlyUnusedUsername]

We certainly liked it!

[@zainalkusaini4660]

Damn love this song I hope flying colors make song like this song more

[@justsupersteve]

my BIG RESOECT to the one guy who made this video! sir are the real man!!! por lo que veo hablas español asi que es mucho más orgullo saber que lo hizo alguien de lengua hispana y si eres latino MEJOR AÚN :P

[@mpapeghin]

steven romero Hehe hablo español pero soy francès ;) Gracias por tus amables palabras !

[@FlyingColorsMusic]

+steven romero yep. marc is awesome!

[@14rich2011]

Amazing band! Spectacular ProgRock song! Marvellous video! Thanks a million for uploading your awesome work, Marc Papeghin!

[@bobgreene3539]

I appreciate the art of this video... I am also a huge fan of Steve Morse and Mike Portnoy... Steve Morse is from my neck of the woods and his cousin Tony Morse played in several different bands and recorded with me- a great double bass drummer. I really love the music of Flying Colors... it reminds me a touch of some of the Dreggs, etc. mixed with DT, both very good and talented music. I have always loved most jazz/rock fusion and mixed with extreme progressive music is the shiznizz if you ask me. Of course I like any music that is REAL music, not just loops being fired [ many plagiarized at that! ] I particularly like the Second Nature album, but I like everything I have heard of Flying Colors, so far, and that is a task.

[@TheNeiminatoR]

Awesome! Perfect!

[@None_of_your_business666]

I think this sounds great, but can't stop thinking of the irony that Portnoy once stated he did not want to play Learning to Live forever, and then coming to play with this band.

[@TheNigh42]

AWESOME !!!

[@jonwizard3989]

Brilliant!

It's both. Steve Morse on guitar, Neal Morse on vocals, songwriting, and keyboards. And occasionally, on guitar.
