STREAM FROM YOUR FAVORITE PLATFORM Arriving just ahead of Memorial Day, and in reflection of the upcoming 250th anniversary of America, “Field Of Flags” stands as both a remembrance and a call to gratitude—capturing the solemn beauty of lives honored beneath rows of waving flags. Co-written with longtime collaborator Jack White, the song paints a vivid portrait of sacrifice and remembrance, rooted in Lang’s own family legacy of military service.  “I wrote ‘Field Of Flags’ with my songwriting buddy Jack White to honor those who served and gave their lives to protect the freedoms we enjoy today,” says Lang. "My grandad, my dad, and my brother George all served their country in times of conflict. When I see pictures of them in full uniform, it makes me so proud.” The track is brought to life through a powerful production by Jared Easter, with commanding lead vocals from Billy Blue Records recording artist, Dave Adkins, whose voice delivers both reverence and emotional weight. Lang adds: “My goal was to have ‘Field Of Flags’ ready to celebrate this Memorial Day, during the year of our country’s 250th Anniversary. It is my hope that this song is a fitting tribute to those brave souls who gave the ultimate sacrifice.”
A SONG ROOTED IN SACRIFICE AND REMEMBRANCEWith imagery drawn from the heart of America’s military cemeteries, “Field Of Flags” captures the quiet power of remembrance: “Tiny flags eight by twelve
Waving gently row by row
Marking graves of the brave Some we used to know…” The chorus rises as a solemn anthem: “Fields of flags on the hill Red, white and blue Every banner represents
One who stood for me and you…” It’s a song that doesn’t just reflect—it invites listeners to pause, to remember, and to recognize the cost of freedom.
