We’re On Our Way etc..... 18:16 - Sep 1 with 11387 viewsITFC_Forever

What a fecking awful droning dirge of a chant.

Hardly anyone knows the words, it gets completely mumbled and it sounds like there are far too many words to fit in to ever make it work.

That’s one of my favourites....

And we don’t sing “by far” (even if every other team does), we sing “we’re the finest football team, the world has ever seen”. Scans perfectly.

Yep, and a little bit in S5, although most in S5 wisely ignored it.

Most modern music is rubbish, most modern chants are rubbish. So nothing wrong with that.

I find it quite funny that the same people who moan that modern day music is rubbish probably got really annoyed when they were younger when older people then complained about ‘modern’ music.

A symptom of being a miserable old sod.

That`s been going on for decades, and no doubt will forever. BUT also, there are very few songs from the modern era which will still be sung on forty years time like any of the older songs. sorry if you find that quite funny lol

That the words have the right number of syllables to match the metre (poetry) or tune (music).

In my crude understanding of music and lyrics it means that each syllable of the words hits on a beat or 'bright' point in the melody (although not necessarily every beat or 'bright' point) and in addition that each line of the lyrics is roughly the same length in timing as the bars that go up to make the line of music.

I think.

It is a little bit important, for example any group of supporters that chants 'We're the finest football team...the World has ever seen', especially those who have never won any major trophies (League Cups do not count) are going to look a bit daft if they are not supporting the Brazil national team between 1958 and 1970 (with a hiatus to allow special dispensation for England in during the summer of 1966).

But you are going to look even dafter if you get the rhythm wrong or sound tuneless (as much as a chant can sound tuneful) or crunch all the words together.

Although that last defect didn't seem to affect the 'I believe in miracles' opening line of 'You Sexy Thing' when it got to number one.

Mildenhall town sing that one well

It amazes me that we don't sing the never lost at home one more or the famous boys from suffolk. Both are brilliant for getting something going.
