Colombia's life-saving pop song

With its catchy chorus and powerful lyrics, the pop song Better Days hit the airwaves in Colombia in the summer of 2010. But the song contained a hidden message that its creators could only reveal once the top-secret files about its true meaning were declassified.

Hidden within Better Days lay a secret message from the Colombian military meant solely for the ears of military hostages kidnapped by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc).
