New SUFC Song

[Shrimpergonzo]

"Keeping the Dream Alive" - Freiheit

"Tonight the rain is falling
Full of memories of people and places
And while the past is calling
In my fantasy I remember their faces

The hopes we had were much too high
Way out of reach but we have to try
The game will never be over
Because we're keeping the dream alive"

A Christmas hit in 1989 IIRC

Fully behind this. Said it once and I'll say it again, this can be OUR "You'll Never Walk Alone"-style anthem. Having thousands of fans singing this will inspire our own players, intimidate the opposition and send shivers down your spine like YNWA does being sung from The Kop. This is a superb choice and Aberdeen and I changed a word each to make it fit a bit more :)

Bridge Over Troubled Water is the way forward :D

Agreed, this would be my number 1 choice by a long shot. People said that it's too slow, but it would be a great football anthem just like walk on and blue moon

I think you have to be very careful not to pick a song that will blow up in our faces if we are not doing well. That BOTW song is a case in point. If we sung that all our dreams are on their way while we are bottom of the league we will look pretty stupid.......and oppoenents fans would have a field day.

I much prefer something less volatile. Most fans who have anthems simply chose a popular song of the time, You'll Never Walk Alone was number 1 in 1963 as Liverpool began their rise, Im Forever Blowing Bubbles was popular when West Ham reached the FA Cup Final, I think in 1923 etc. I am not suggesting we adopt Umbrella, ella, ella by Rhianna but we can perhaps find something that we can all sing. Personally, I think Dont Stop Me Now by Queen would be a tremendous anthem, it really gets everyone going, particularly the part from "Im a rocket ship..........Bloody marvellous!!!!

As you said though.....saying things like Don’t Stop me know when we are a loosing steak would make us a laughing stock mate......

At the end of the day we have to have a song that raises our expectations and pumps us all full of PMA

For me BOTW is the No.1 anthem for a football club and we are just luck that no club have adopted it yet....lets make it ours.

it starts slow, builds to a crescendo and the lyrics are spot on


"the story of the Blues" by the MIghty Wah (got to in number 7 in 1982)

chuck it in google and have a listen , would be fantastic sung around the Hall, away grounds all over the place and the Spread after a glorious victory. it s actually decsribed by most muso-jounalists as a "rousing anthem"....surely thats perfect.

Is it a House hold well known song???

That is exactly the point........dont forget to vote for it guys

Certainly well known in my household.

Sweet thing is well know in my house by David Bowie, but i doubt in House holds across the land!!!!!

I agree. Are you familiar with 'The Story of the Blues' though? Unlike the Bowie number there is some SUFC relevance in the lyrics and title.

Club anthem? How about: "You'll never beat the Orient" by The Orient Fans ft. Danny McDermid (yeah, it's a pretty quiet record)?

Something tells me people aren't taking this thread altogether seriously Cricko!

:hilarious:

Neatly summed up with this next quote...

YMCA?

My vote goes to Bridge over troubled water, would sound amazing if everyone sung it.

That Dance classic:

I'm Blue, da da dee, da da da

take a moment to imagine what complete d!ckhe@ds we will look like singing this in roots hall, think seriously.
