Flying horses is a song written and performed by the band Dispatch. This specific video is from a casual performance they did before a concert in Germany. Dispatch uses many literary techniques and symbols in this song to make a person wonder and question what they are trying to say. In my opinion the overall purpose of the song is to remind people to appreciate what they have before its gone. I interpret the beginning of the chorus to be an interpretation of how things can seem good but could turn bad. The chorus goes, "But then I stole a ring from the flying horses and I can't begin to explain how, I stole a ring from the flying horses, and it's all rusty now" The man who stole the ring isn't quite sure what he had done, or why he did it. But he is proud of the fact that it happened. The ring was better and more deserved to be on the horse. When it is removed from the horse it becomes rusty and not as cool as it was. Furthermore the song demonstrates how we can learn lessons from other people. A verse says "If you chance to meet upon either, well you know where they've been, but don't pick them up or try to find me". Chad, the lead singer is teling us not to get as excited as he. He had made the mistake of trying to bottle of the beauty on his own. And told everyone else the danger involved. In the end the song Chad, Brad and Pete, have done us a good deed by rhyming and reminding us not to take what we have for granted.
