Not Giving In and Never Tear Us Apart (songs)

[Boss351]

good to see Daniel Flynn hasn't deserted us and the club is very much on his mind.

Flynny recorded his very own "Never give up" anthem

Completely off topic but I've been laughing for 5 minutes at this. 1/2 because its Creed and 1/2 because its the worst fashion sense ive seen.

It's also amusing that even in a band made up of fuglies, there's still "the ugly one at the back".

 

[Grave Danger]

I have heard the Crows will be paying a tribute to Notso before the game by playing this clip:

Ha ha - perfect clip too, looks like she's miming (ie faking) it!

if there were lyrics on the screens, i probably wouldn't sing out of principle. just seems really poxy and forced.

let it evolve on its own. if the fans want to sing it, they'll start doing it. it might just start with people shouting the last line.

the way the club has gone about it so far is right. if they wanted to force it onto everyone, they would have held a chant night.

I agree with every word of that, and I'm praying to everything that is holy that the club is thinking the same. Let the fans sing it, or even just shout in tune if they're one of the few who don't know it. Nothing will turn something so awesome into something so contrived and completely ****ing lame as playing NTUA with karaoke lyrics on the screen. It's one step away from a voice over the PA cueing up the crowd with "a one and a two and a three . . ."

Yep, the club has done its bit. All it can do is play it now - the fans will take care of the rest.

I watched this whole thing waiting for Flynn

* you

Maybe just the line "never tear us apart" appears on screen, it sort of encourages fans to sing/shout without the pretentiousness of the whole song, and it also sends a message, it means something. A good balance of maintaining integrity and encouraging participation.

Songs like this are successful when they are left to grow organically...in there own time and way. You definitely can't manufacture support. All it takes is for one bay to start singing it, and the rest of the crowd will want to join in. Have faith.

I like this one for the warm up so I do my running man moves.

I personally think the H-Blockx version (the first little bit, or perhaps from 0.49) would sound great cranking around the stadium as we run out

My thoughts are that the Never Giving In intro was great. Some scope for the slow clapp too. From the video taken at the ground posted earlier in this thread it sounds like there are four bars of music but 'Not Giving In' is only sung in 2 of them. Could be 3 and I just didnt hear it properly. I think the 2 bars without a NGI could either be dubbed in or left for the crowd to fill in. I'd prefer to dub them in but there were some who sang it in anticipation of it being sung again. Sometimes people take it upon themselves to fill it in, sometimes they feel stupid for singing a part of a song that isnt there. Id still lean to dubbing it in again just to ram home the message.

As for NTUA...wow! I hope EVERYONE in this thread that goes to our games for the rest of the year realises that if this is going to get off the ground and mean something to this club, WE have to be the champions of it being successful. I for one will sing my lungs out because I love it and I think it means something to us.

We dont need lyrics on the screen. My 12 year old nephew was singing while it was playing. It's simple enough.

 

[Enviable Tradition]

I did have a hawk gliding over the fig trees pointed out to me before the game. How funny would it be if their trained Crow got taken down by a Hawk...


or pair of magpies drove it off.

Ummm. It was a pelican.

Big black and white pelican. Looked magnificent as it soared around the ground then flew over the eastern stand casting a massive shadow on the roof.

I took it as a good omen and laughed at how it was innocently mocking the trained crow in the same way the natural 'never tear us apart' singing mocked the Crows chants.

Hahaha, I must have seen it when it was a fair way off still as it looked tiny.

 

[TeeKray]

Yeah, I've seen lyrics on screens tried at so many different sporting events and it never really seems to work, basically just looks tacky.

FWIW, the Newcastle Jets in the A-League have been playing NTUA prior to kick off for several years now and it's always seemed pretty cool to me.

Do they do it as the final minute countdown like the club did on Saturday??

I don't know if there is a countdown clock associated with it but it starts as the teams start walking to position and stops right on kick off.

 

[Stryke]

They should play up to the drum roll (but stop it before it says 'We could live for a thousand years') then blow the siren.

EPIC

I see the Alberton Crowd are making a push for everyone to hold their scarves over their heads while NTUA plays this week. Been shared around on some other Port Adelaide supporter pages too.

I'll be doing it and belting the song out in my best Jimmy Barnes being held by the scrotum voice. Screeeeeeech!!!

 

[manureid]

Not a bad idea.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

No words on the big screen so you better learn them if you want to sing them. More scarves are to be produced and sold.

We could live
For a thousand years
But if I hurt you
I'd make wine from your tears

I told you
That we could fly
'Cause we all have wings
But some of us don't know why

I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never ever tear us apart

Asking a bit much there REH!! How many hearing impaired members do we even have?

We are an inclusive club.

I won the EP of this song on vinyl for being the worst dancer at the Arkaba in 1991. My finest moment.

This link might help some people.

Repeats the minute of the song that we play before our games.
Just keep it opened and learn that one part. (Might kill your bandwidth).

Never tear us apart was awesome at the showdown. Bring it on I say.
