Song is called 'Do you hear the people sing' FWIW. Not sure about the lyrics you suggested, the last line is a little weak in my opinion. Could be improved and turn into a really strong chant though. Definitely a strong, inspiring tune behind it, it is after all a rallying cry in Les Mis.

Ok. Got inspired after watching the movie last week. Brought back memories of seeing the musical in my childhood  :wub: 


Now I don't expect most of you to support this SONG (definitely not a chant), because 1) it's from a musical and 2) it's probably too long and people fail at learning lyrics as is.

HOWEVER I personally believe this is a very inspiring song, and given the original context is revolutionary lads trying to fire themselves up in the face of almost certain death, I think some very potent analogies could be drawn to Heart and to the Yside.

So, with that in mind, I present to you my offering without really expecting it to take off.

Note: lyrics are still somewhat a work in progress. I have underlined sections where I have suggested several options. If there is a somewhat positive response to this I will make an effort to fine-tune the lyrics. Chorus is italicised.

 

Note two: strong trumpet potential behind this song.

2min video. Whole song really. Starts off slow and quiet, builds to be loud and powerful with a huge chorus of voices.

Lyrics:

Do you hear the terrace sing,

Singing and chanting on our feet?

It is the music of a fanbase/terrace/the yside

Who will not accept defeat.

 

When the beating of our drum

Echoes a goal that’s just been scored/just gone in

We’re gonna be top of the league

When tomorrow comes.

 

Will you join in our crusade?

Who will stand up and sing with us?

Forget the Vic-tor-y scum

It’s in Heart that you must trust.

So join in the songs that will give them the drive to succeed!

 

Do you hear the terrace sing,

Singing and chanting on our feet?

It is the music of a fanbase/terrace/the yside

Who will not accept defeat.

 

Will you give all you can give so that

The Heart boys feel our pride?

We might lose but we could win

Will you stand up and help decide?

The beer that will flow at fulltime will flood all our lives...

 

Do you hear the terrace sing,

Singing and chanting on our feet?

It is the music of a fanbase/terrace/the yside

Who will not accept defeat.
