"the impossible dream " video

[Squelchy2507]

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

Well if people want to learn this to sing, then you had best learn the correct lyrics. Those posted earlier in this thread are incorrect for the version on the video (6th line and 3rd verse). Correct lyrics are:

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 be better, far than you are
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 be willing to give
When there's no more to give
To be willing to die
So that honour and justice may live

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

Just watched it.

Cheesy shit.

It's ok, but I don't think it really works. It's not in the same league as previous efforts or some of the ones the fans have made. I don't think it's down beat enough to start with given it includes the POF defeat. And it isn't triumphal enough throughout and at the end. I'm not overly keen on the highlight goal clips and all the weird cuts and angles.

Top marks for trying something different. But a mediocre 6/10 for the final product.

Alright Spielberg

It was better when it was played in the stadium. Everyone just seemed to fall silent and just appreciate it. The cheer at the end was far more genuine than the one that follows our normal pre-match montage or the "Make some noise" thing.

[SLAMMED]

Not a fan of the song to be honest. Hearing this played before the game would be more cringeworthy than playing chase the sun after we score.

[Simon's Church]

Would have been better if they'd just played the Honda ad tbh.

Thanks 1871royals for putting it on u tube.

Yeah well done 1871royals whoever you are

Well, I don't care if I'm in the minority - I think it's great - it's saying how even though we didn't get there last year, it's not impossible to get there again and we fought hard all season and now we ARE in the Prem - which was our dream. I love that song.

[Seal]

I gave the players those flags they're jumping around with at the end

Nothing beats the Intro Synth music at the start of the Simod Cup Final Video. With a clip of Gilkesy breaking the sound barrier at Wembley.

[Extended-Phenotype]

Clichéd song. Not very stirring. Definitely doesn't work with footballers scoring goals.

And what's with the strange cuts? Jason Roberts scores a goal and it cuts to ALF celebrating after his goal, then later shows ALF's goal. What's the point of that? It's just irritating.

Sorry, I was unmoved. And I normally burst into tears watching mobile phone footage of a blurry man whacking something pixelated into something fuzzy to the sound of some generic jazz.

Reading that back it sounds like I cry to porn.

Awsome anthem, as for cringeworthy, no more than Blue Moon etc and i forever blowin a monkey.

On TOTP.

[Silver Fox]

No Carter USM version?

'greed, I'm a sucker for cheesy videos liek this but the Sinatra version isn't very good (no offence Frank) and Jim Bob screaming "this is my quest!" would have worked much much better
