Coldplay and The Chainsmokers are probably one of the more unlikely collaborations we'll see this year in music, but "Something Just Like This" may be one of the best collabs we'll see. Musically, it's entrancing. It's everything we love about The Chainsmokers' thoughtful and body-moving approach to EDM music with everything we love about the dry, smooth power of Chris Martin's voice. It's really the best of both worlds, and while the group is an unlooked for collaboration, personally, I'll be looking for more songs from these two groups.

It's at this point in the song that both the lyrics and music gain power. The words "I want something just like this" gain power because of the way Christ Martin repeats them, and the music gains power as The Chainsmokers "drop the beat" and bring heavy synth in. This is obviously the point in listening to the song when dancing is supposed to be at its craziest and when emotions are supposed to be at their highest.

I like this song because it's simple and sweet. The cover art is a picture of a young boy pretending to be a superhero, and I think this fits well because many people still want to identify with the precociousness and imagination and ambition of the children they once were. The narrator in this relationship feels like a child wanting to be a superhero, but his adulthood reminds him that superheroes aren't real and that he isn't one. The love interest's response, however, shows him how he can be a superhero for her even if he isn't for everyone else.

We are returned to the hotel by the VNSO driver for an afternoon of rest before returning to the Italian restaurant we dined at the previous Monday. A little pasta and salad (and we make sure our hosts understand it should only be a small amount) seems to be a great way to get the evening started. We walk the two blocks to the hall, braving the traffic and crowds to get to the musicians entrance. Lan and Thang make sure that the guest artist and conductor manage safe passage, something more challenging for a pedestrian than any westerner could imagine. Lan plays social butterfly with well wishers in front of the hall, eventually finding her way back stage with the rest of my clothing that she insisted on carrying. The humidity concerns me that I might go through several changes of clothes on this evening. I certainly have come prepared with extra undershirts and a hair blower, all of which get used during this event.

The Sheraton Hanoi serves an international clientele and the breakfast in the lobby restaurant shows it. There are stations for Korean, Japanese, Chinese, plus western tastes. The chef makes great omelets at the egg station, there are unusual fruits, lots of pastries, and of course Phō, the traditional Vietnamese soup with vegetables. It seems like a fitting start to our ten days in this country for we will discover that one of the best parts about it is the food. This will be demonstrated in ample amounts every time we sit down for a meal with people.

And he literally says that. He says let's show them that we adore the United States, that we respect this country. And that's what people did. If you look at pictures from those protests, you just see this ocean of U.S. flags. But here's the thing - that didn't sit well with a lot of grassroots activists like Pedros Rios, who we heard from a little bit ago, who felt like suddenly the establishment was kind of dictating the terms of the protest.

GIL SANCHEZ: It doesn't matter what happens. If they hate Mexicans, they're going to hate Mexicans, whether you're carrying an American flag or a Mexican flag. That's my feeling. They already hate us, the ones that hate us. This is kind of like my [expletive] you to their face by wearing a Mexican flag. It's like they got to remember that this was once part of Mexico and you just don't throw a line on the ground and say, OK, now everybody split up. You're American. You're not Mexican anymore. That doesn't fly in my family. I'm sorry, but I'm still Mexican, too.

But then it's complicated because not everyone was down with that. Like, there was this couple that I met and they were just sort of standing there taking in everything that was going on. And they were looking really cool. Like, they were dressed like these really cool old school chicanos. And so I went up to them and talked to them a little bit.

FLORIDO: Yeah, and, you know, I think - I mean, I think there's something similar happening here, right, in this case with Latinos and the flag. I think what's interesting here, though, is that, like, you know, the pendulum is going to swing back and forth sort of over generations because with Latino immigration there are waves, right? And there are people who are coming to the U.S. constantly and putting down fresh roots all the time.

DEMBY: Right, right, right. Yeah, those things sit next to each other uncomfortably. I remember on Twitter a few weeks ago we - you and I were having this conversation with a bunch of people. People of color, about their relationships to the flag. And a lot of people were saying just like you that as they got older they stopped saying, you know, the Pledge of Allegiance. They stopped saluting the flag. They stopped putting their hands over their hearts.

That wasn't too surprising, but what was surprising to me was there were more than a few people who said, like, it's because of so - how imperfect this history has been, right, like, that they felt like they had to do those things. Like, they came around to the other side as adults. Like, they stopped saying the pledge and they stopped saluting the flag. And then they came back around and said, like, this is a statement of purpose, right? One of the ways you hold it accountable, just on a personal level, is to do that, right, is to say, like, yes, not yet but one day, you know?

FOLEY: A flag song, OK. Well, I'll just start by saying this. Every tribe in Indian country has their own flag song. Not every flag song is exactly the same. Some might sound alike, and some might have similar words. But they're all just pretty much talking about the same thing. This one comes from the Kiowa Tribe down around - their headquarters are in Carnegie, Okla.

FOLEY: That song I just sang to you is the Kiowa flag song. And it's still sang around Oklahoma to this day. And what my grandpa told me those words mean - it's saying raise this flag in the most reverent way because a beautiful thing happened the day the war ended like that. And that song was made - as he told me - just a few days after the First World War was over.
