Flag-Related Recommendations – Joseph, The Moth & the Flame, and Karla Chubb

     This post steadily gained weight. It began as a simple lament – Joseph will soon be visiting San Francisco, but on the same night as Highasakite. The plan was to embed “White Flag” into the post. But while considering what to write, “Red Flag” by The Moth & the Flame hit the speakers, coincidentally. So, we added a third song with “flag” in the post.

      Joseph are three sisters - Natalie, Allison, and Meegan Closner. They hail from Portland, Oregon, but will be at Slim’s in San Francisco on September 16 (the same night Highasakite will visit Rickshaw Stop). For the full tour schedule and ticket information CLICK HERE.

     The Moth & The Flame originated in Provo, Utah, but they claim Los Angeles as their current location. The members are Brandon Robbins (guitar, vocals), Mark Garbett (keys, vocals), Andrew Tolman (drums) and Michael Goldman (bass).

     Karla Chubb could have been included in the recent “Dublin Invasion” post. Her song “White Flag” has been available for more than a year, but we dropped the ball. The song is characterized by strong vocals and a sequence of acoustic instruments (guitar to mandolin to banjo).

“White Flag” by Karla Chubb – the song is still offered for free download

Lyrics of “White Flag” by Karla Chubb

Nod your head and shrug your shoulders,

Drum your fingers, tap your feet,

Cos all the things that I just told ya,

Don't seem to be translating,

And yes, okay, maybe,

I guess that's not good enough

And yes, okay, maybe,

I guess that's not good enough

I guess that's not

I guess the chemicals just sunk in,

And now are starting to react,

Because what we both thought was something,

Was just something we both lacked,

And yes, okay, maybe,

I guess that's not good enough

And yes, okay, maybe,

I guess that's not good enough

I guess it's not good enough,

I guess that's not good enough,

I guess you're not good enough,

I guess you're not good enough,

I guess you're not.

I guess you're not.

And if fighting's what you came for,

Well then let me draw my gun,

Because I won't let me take the blame for,

Something that I've never done.

And yes, okay, maybe,

I guess that's not good enough

And yes, okay, maybe,

I guess that's not good enough

I could win this, but I don't care at all,

So take this White Flag and consider me gone,

I'm gone.

And yes, okay, maybe,

I guess that's not good enough

And yes, okay, maybe,

I guess that's not good enough
