Hey that could actually work if it was polished up at bit. "To be the best, you need a heart of gold". I like it. Great work fellas.
Now the trick is to get really lucky and fluke someone that has some influence in the corridors of League power to watch it and who can see the potential and the marketing value to make this happen.
Headlines could read something like this -
"Teenage fan/fans write leagues sensational new song to honour their love of the greatest game of all".
Get the general public behind it. Something like this would show that the fans that support the game can contribute in significant ways and be part of it no matter who you are. After all we the fans do own the game don't we?
Thanks TheRam,
That is the kind of useful comment we were expecting when the song was first posted. Although, I must disagree that it requires polishing, we like it raw. Our aim is most definately to have the song heard by a powerful man who may happen to be on these forums. Someone like Russell Crowe would be ideal.
Now, I must have my say to many of the other posters who have not provided any constructive comments whatsoever. Infact TheRams post was one of the only intelligent posts. To say the singer is crap is offensive. I myself am the singer and it was very difficult to put this up for the world to see. To say such things about me is hurtfull (not only to me but also my friends and family who are on this site) and to be honest wrong. I have had many music teachers tell me that I am a good singer.
Also the fat guy on the couch, as you put it so coldly, well he is my friend. He had major learning difficulties as a child so he would not be able to sing it like me, leave your cheap shots outside please.
For those who are supporting us in this quest to have this song as a background tune for next years SOO adds I have attached chords and lyrics for you to sing along with.
To be the Best
Chords: C, F, Am, G
I lived a dream
I was a cat amongst the pigeons
The reflex of a snake, the eye of a hawk
I broke the shackles
What does it take?
I'll tell you what it takes.
To be the best, you need courage
To be the best, you need strength
To be the best, you need a heart of gold
Yeah, Ive had my struggles
My heads been down
I followed the bad path
But Im back at the top
What does it take?
I'll tell you what it takes.
To be the best, you need courage
To be the best, you need strength
To be the best, you need a heart of gold
(Solo)
I lived a dream
I was a cat amongst the pigeons
The reflex of a snake, the eye of a hawk
I broke the shackles
What does it take?
I'll tell you what it takes!
To be the best, you need courage
To be the best, you need strength
To be the best, you need a heart of gold
(Clap bridge)
I am the best (You are the best)
I am the best (You are the best)
I am the best (No, you are the best)
We are all the best.
