Flying Colors, on Mascot Label Group, has released two Studio albums, and two Live albums, to commercial success and critical acclaim.

    History

    Formation

    In 2008, Evans wrote a proposal for a band that combined sophisticated music (complex composition and virtuoso performances) with accessible, mainstream songwriting. His idea was to channel the complexity through a charismatic pop singer/songwriter, keep the songs short, and use humor.

    Evans approached Neal Morse (solo artist, Spock's Beard, Transatlantic), Dave LaRue (Dixie Dregs, Steve Morse Band, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai), Steve Morse (Steve Morse Band, Dixie Dregs, Deep Purple, Kansas), Mike Portnoy (Dream Theater, Transatlantic), and music producer Peter Collins (RUSH, Bon Jovi) about making the band a reality.

    Flying Colors (Flying Colors album)

    Flying Colors is the debut studio album by the American supergroup Flying Colors, released on 26 March 2012. It debuted at No. 9 on Billboard's Hard Rock chart, and No. 11 on the BBC's Rock Album charts.

    Flying Colors

    by: Flying Colors

    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 hear 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
