"the impossible dream " video

[Royals and Racers]

I thought the new video montage played to the song the impossible dream was superb.

[Basingstoke-Royal]

I only heard the music while i was walking in from KFC lol .... Anyone got a video of it?

Hopefully they will put it on the RFC website

[DelBoyRodders]

I thought it was excellent too.
Even signed up to the Reading Player this week so hope they put it on the website.

Was it Andy Williams' or Matt Monro's version

I think it was Andy Williams-same as the "Honda "advert

[JS28ZoD]

It was the MM version but I love this song and the fact the club have done this, please keep it up!

Now all I need is some other fans to stand up and sing it with me while I hold my scarf above my head!

...but Andy Williams is a different matter altogether

[RoyalBlue]

Did anyone video it?

[Optimist]

It was pretty special. When it finished it got a louder "URRRRZZZZZ!!!!!" than the normal pre-match video has got all season! I know talk of having our own song pops up every now and again but if that gets played next season then it'd be bloody ridiculous for us not to "adopt" it and sing it every week.

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love pure and chaste from afar
To try when your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star

This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far

To fight for the right
Without question or pause
To be willing to march into Hell
For a heavenly cause

And I know if I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star

[Royal Lady]

It certainly put the hairs on the back of my neck. I think it would be brilliant to adopt this as "our song" - how you'd get enough people remembering the words, let alone singing them, is a slight concern though. But I'm happy to give it a go at Brum!

IIRC these lines were cut from that Honda advert, and imo these are the only ones you can cut. I reckon we could learn the rest...

Good song, liked the video
Could have potential for being sung at games

Drunk, btw

Fans have talked about having our own unique anthem in the past - here you go! This before kick-off every game. The fans could select a verse or two and sing it. A slow chant in similar fashion to Spurs with "oh when the spurs...". Perfect.

[Platypuss]

No Carter USM version?

[Jobbo no.11]

So much pottential for this, The club need to start playing this just before the teams come out and slowly people will start to learn more and more. May take a while but really would be amazing if it did stick!!

Agreed with both!! This is the perfect anthem for us!

Someone get on it!

No Carter USM version?

I played the Carter USM version in the car on the way to Southampton along with "This is the One" by The Stone Roses and of course "Ashes" by Embrace, I was at a near frenzy by the time I got there...."The End" by Blur is another one that gets me going........far better than the obligatory "We are the Champions" by Queen that just bores me senseless.
