Updated Club Song

[MerryHell]

I just watched the 92 flag this morning and hearing our old song after the siren made me upset.

"Lets just change it because everything else is new."
Solid logic.

Having a Women team representing Wce is a pretty big change as well and maybe helped the decision to rework the song ..The song will open for the Wce team this Sunday..

For the people complaining about the line “it’s more than winning” and saying that is all it’s about.

Let me ask which premiership do you prefer 2006 or 2018?

That’s choosing between two types of winning. Which was your favourite year 2006 or 2010? I know which one I favoured.

 

[Dark Sharks]

It's not all about winning gaiz.

Says the eagles after our flag winning season leads us to become one of the richest and most successful clubs in Australia.


They weren't saying that s**t from 2008-2010 when our membership numbers decreased, i tell you that much.

It did need a change though. Its been rubbish for a while. That said they could have done a better job on the new one

So what your saying is you agree with me. There is more than one way to win, so you can win in a good way or maybe not so good way. So the song defines they want to win with West Coast Magic.

 

[JackDoff]

Ye let’s write a better song and petition it in

Stephen Wells the "marketing brand guru" just said on Ch 9 that over the next year or so members will be given the opportunity to provide input into the words of the song. This should have happened before the change but nevertheless it is good to hear.I am sure that we will come up with a vastly improved club song at the end of the process.

Wait, what? They're gonna change it again? Surely not.

 

[squashface]

Wait, what? They're gonna change it again? Surely not.

Nothing like a bit of widespread hate to create some backpedalling.

 

[Cuzz09]

Its not the words its the fact fans cant sing it after a win or when we run out.

Need a simple catchy club song

Born is pride from isolation

is?

is??

‘with’ perhaps?
Born with pride from isolation?


or should it have been “pride is born from isolation” ?

 

[Mattman93]

or should it have been “pride is born from isolation” ?

That is what it means, yeah. But I actually like the way we phrased it; and it does make syntactical sense.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Born is pride from isolation works well.

 

[Billy ray]

I wonder whether the players just got it wrong way around the first time and left it

 

[Dazzler9]

No mate. It make sense.

 

[Dazzler9]

If it helps to make sense to you, you could add a comma after 'pride'.

Make that a full stop
Does ‘born is pride’ make sense?

i dunno. Doesn’t make sense to me. But im no literary genius.

Yes it does

Yes it does Bill. I'm not gonna give an English lesson, but it makes perfect sense. You'll have to trust us.

 

[liam123]

Pride is born = born is pride

 

[madfx]

It's not a bad little ear worm, not a huge fan of the way they've change the chorus but love the start. Man the West Coast magic makes me cringe though

Ok. I shall.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

So I've found myself with this stuck in my head far more than I would have thought.

Unsure if it's because I enjoy it, or if I miss footy.

I hope they tweak the chorus to sound more like the original. After a win, chant the opening verse, belt out the original-sounding chorus, done and dusted.

No one will care about the rest of the song. Like the original second, third and fourth verses of Advance Australia Fair:

When gallant Cook from Albion sailed,
To trace wide oceans o'er,
True British courage bore him on,
Til he landed on our shore.
Then here he raised Old England's flag,
The standard of the brave;
"With all her faults we love her still"
"Britannia rules the wave."
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair.

While other nations of the globe
Behold us from afar,
We'll rise to high renown and shine
Like our glorious southern star;
From England soil and Fatherland,
Scotia and Erin fair,
Let all combine with heart and hand
To advance Australia fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair.

Should foreign foe e'er sight our coast,
Or dare a foot to land,
We'll rouse to arms like sires of yore,
To guard our native strand;
Britannia then shall surely know,
Though oceans roll between,
Her sons in fair Australia's land
Still keep their courage green.
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia fair.
