A song for tarn

Just pursuing something we were discussing on the drive back to Brontecestershire after setdi's game; why don't we have a song? Like Sheff Utd's 'greasy chip butty', Forest's 'Mull Of Kintyre', Wolves 'hi-ho....' (I know Wendy do that too, but they're irrelevant), Liverpool YNWA, West Ham's bubbles etc etc..

I get that we've tried with the Hey Jude thing, but we're one of many, many clubs that do that.

Anyway, the chauffeur turned, opened the partition and suggested Civic Green's 'My Love, My Town'. I'd not heard it, so checked out the video;



....and the lyrics to the chorus bit;

'Cos this is My love, my town
Can't beat this feeling I've found
It's alive, it's a treasure
It's the pride that keeps us together
This is my love, my town
Makes up for when I feel down
It's alive, it's a treasure
It's the fight that keeps us together'

Absolutely bob-on for me. Imagine the ground all singing that! C'mon Eyup & Down, Granty, whoever. Unique and 100% tarn.

Brings a tear to thi eye.....

 

Big yes from me

 

Great band, see a couple of them regularly in my local.

The club should really be pushing this…

 

Arsenal have incorporated a new club theme song in last few years, the whole ground now sing it. So it can be done.

 

Yeah heard that on Saturday night & wondered what it was.

 

It's horrid though!
As regards ours, I think it would need to be played every match in place of Hey Jude to get people singing it if we want to adopt it as our song. And I agree, it would be nice to have one unique to us.

 

It's a great song but to get the whole crowd singing it needs to be a slower tune.

 

I think you do us a disservice; we had no problem with 'valley of death' or 'you're gonna get your fu¢king heads kicked in' back in the day. They were both fast-paced.

Or just sing it at 33rpm

 

Thinking the same, doesn't convert into a football song, a bit like American boy. It's too quick.

 

Both classics

 

Seems too wordy to be a singalong. Simple repeatable phrases required.

 

All those other clubs' fans manage theirs okay. If the Ponty's really struggling, just split the chorus in half and sing that. It's pretty much the same thing twice.

 

Our fans sing everything at the speed of lightning.

 

Put the words up on the scoreboard while the songs playing.

Will the club supply reading glasses?

 

I've often wondered if we could end up somehow with a song that's "ours".
Short of the one we do have with no lyrics I didn't think we could.

So this definitely gets a thumbs up from me. It's catchy, and is almost written for us.

I'd even advocate for the first time ever, to replace timerider with this to walk out to. And I say that as a fierce defender of timerider...

 

I quite like it when the whole stadium is singing it, sounds decent.
