We need another one & imo it should be totally unique too, & identifiable with, Manchester.

I give you.....
' Don't look back in anger '

* Commemorates the deaths of 22 youngsters at the MEN Arena.

* Written,produced and sung by arguably Manchesters best and most famous band.

* Atmospheric,memorable & with a rousing chorus.

* We need some new blood for the ' Blue Wall '.

Let 1894 drone on quietly with fucking empty seats at home, going down with a billion in the bank and that cretinous Whaa Whoo thing.

"We are the Blue Wall".

Definitely more than a slight whiff of WUM about you

We were talking about this on Saturday after witnessing Forest's version of Mull of Kintyre (which unlike most of our songs actually mentions Maine Road in the lyrics)

The most impressive part was the initial drum roll when they all stood to attention

If we're going down the new anthem road then DON'T LOOK BACK IN ANGER certainly ticks many boxes.

it's synonymous with Manchester defiance
The band are City supporters
Everyone knows the words

Some of the responses are missing the point.
It's not about the trendiest song
It's about something that brings us all together

So who's going to do the lyrics, easy,sensible and atmospheric please.

There really should be a songs /chants group formed on here.

1894 are OK at displays, small protests & supporting the OSC re ticket prices etc, but not so much at songs ....wit " empty fucking seats at home " !!

I was at a 21st do 30+ years ago and when the DJ started trying to play ynwa to end the night the rags (including the birthday boy) went fucking mental - the other Blues and myself couldn't stop laughing at them, anything that wound them up was alright with us - yes, even that dirge.

Fast forward to last November and a 'surprise' party for a good lad, even though he's an actual home & away match going rag, and when the DJ started playing Don't Look Back In Anger, him and his mates went just as mad as the ones years before had!

So anything that annoys that scumbag lot gets my vote!
 
We do have some great songs that take ages to transport from the concourse/train/coach to the seats, Follow you everywhere was around for years before it hit big when we were locked in at OT in 2023

I made up the Mancini/Pellegrini/Guardiola song to The Stone Roses ‘Made Of Stone’ in about 2019 and it still hasn’t caught on across our fanbase yet. Although it does get sung by SSL0 and also at away games, but when I join in with SSL0 when they get it going from my seat, barely anyone around me joins in because I just don’t think they know the words.

I’ve mentioned lack of pubs around the ground and lack of pub culture within our fanbase for home games in another thread today… but the lack of gathering places like pubs around the ground for our fans to get songs going and heard across more of a spread of our fans is an issue.

I was in the Townley last season a few hours after a home game where a group of young lads got a really good Pep Guardiola chant* going to the tune of Tina Turner ‘Simply The Best’ for about five minutes straight. But there were only about twenty of us in there at the time and I’ve never heard that chant anywhere else since.

We get in a lot of pubs in Town but they aren’t like pubs around football grounds because singing football songs doesn’t really happen as the bar staff or bouncers will tell people to stop singing as it’s a pub for everyone not just City fans.

We also don’t have a main gathering spot in Town where fans congregate and get songs going. We do all get to Cutting Room Square for end of season title games and lesser known songs always get going there, but it’s not a thing we do regularly for every home game. Liverpool fans have things called Boss Nights where they have like a fan-singing gig with people on stage with guitars or even a band will play Liverpool songs to the crowd who all sing along to them.

City Square was always a missed opportunity with this. Instead of making it a gathering place where this could happen, City made it more of a TV show where they have interviews and punditry about the game with the odd bands who just sing their own songs for people to stand a watch rather than a gathering to get fans singing.

We just don’t have the number of pubs or gathering places where these things happen as part of our fan culture.

There’s also no fan groups who have YouTube channels where they create videos of fans singing songs so they can reach a wider spread of our fans.

There’ll be thousands of even regular matchgoing fans who have no idea what the words are to half our songs.

We’ve made up a number of songs that end up getting pinched by other sets of fans and sung more by their fanbases before they gain traction with us. Lpool’s Van Dijk song was a City song about De Bruyne first, so was their Luis Suarez song that we used to have under the radar about David Silva. The Foden song gets sung by Spurs fans for Kudus more than we sing it for Foden.


*that Pep song goes:
‘Pep’s simply the best
Woah oh oh
Better than all the rest
Better than Fergie was
Or anyone I’ve ever met’

Very true "you can't stop Erland Haaland " made it to terrace on Saturday
 
I was running through a few Chris Rea albums yesterday and was playing the upbeat “i don’t know what it is but I love it” song and got to filling in Rayan Cherki

“I don't know what it is but I love him
I don’t know what it is but I want him to stay
He’s gonna win the league with City
Rayan Cherki,Cherki,Cherki,Cherki
Rayan Cherki,Cherki,Cherki,Cherki

Properly ripping it out I was, arms outstretched and everything.

Well done on creating the Made of Stone chant, it's a great one (bit jealous I didn't think of that myself being a massive roses fan)...I do think that one though, has crossed over from potential chant to a more established one and gets sung often at away games and seems to be well known in my experience
