Title: Villa song

Mods, please move if necessary.

I know its probably not fashionable to like like stuff like this. But I thought this is pretty good.

I like that.
Proper "anthem"...
Very easy to sing!

Great song, really liked it, should be played at VP regularly.

Does anyone remember that one that got posted on here I think just before the 13/14 season kicked off? It was shite.

I think I do, if it's the one I'm thinking it was crap. Funny enough It was reposted on the H&V Facebook page the other day.

I like this one though, that would work on the terraces.

I've heard worse Villa songs. It's also adapatable, in the same way "paul mcgrath m'lord" is... Will it spread... It will take a bit of luck and a cup run!

Sounds a bit rubbish on Youtube with that arrangement but I quite like listening to the tune at the end of the game.

I really like this. The line about 'my father said there's a team for you' is great, it always bothers me that we sing 'my old man said be a city fan' when my Dad most certainly did not!

They need to get this played at Villa Park quick while there is a good vibe about the place.

I think it sounds really arrogant.

The Villa Park crowd will never sing a song like that.

What a nice surprise. Best recorded Villa song I've heard in a long long time. Great lyrics.

Good song - deserves some VP airtime.

I think we lack something to sing about rather than a song to sing.

Not bad. Hopefully we can hire these guys to do the Cup Final song.

Really like this. Hope the club get hold of a copy. Can imagine this being played before the game, loudly before the Albion Cup Quarter Final.

Notice that this was played before the game on Tuesday.

Heard it on here a bit ago and pleasantly surprised to hear it at the end on Tuesday (didn't hear it at the start)...it may have been an edited version, I don't know, I was too busy squealing, dancing with a steward and hugging the bloke next to me!
:D

I've tried to get in touch with the band who made this song on their Facebook page to try and make a video for this song. I saw it mentioned on a YouTube comment and thought it would be a great idea to get a video to go with it, no excuse for the club to get behind it then and play it on the big screens!

If anyone knows the guys or can get in touch with them and see if making a video is a possibility that would be great, I'd love to try and get some shots at Saturday's game and with some co-operation from the club then I hope I could do the song justice with a good video.

Hopefully they read my message of Facebook soon so we can get started :)

That's brilliant Daniel...well done mate!

I think a shorter fan-singing version would be taken up by The Holte and others, especially if it was displayed on the screens.

Really kind messages throughout. I'm glad that everyone likes it, that's always the thought in the back of your mind when you make something - "what if everyone hates it?"

Thank you all.

Well done...great stuff all round, song and video. You couldn't have chosen a better match to film for the video. Can you imagine doing the video with footage from the 1-0 loss to Leyton Orient?
Title: Re: Villa song
Post by: DanielRolinson on March 19, 2015, 07:53:42 PM
Yes that's why I was so desperate to get in touch with the guys because I knew how good the atmosphere was going to be, and the fact we scored and won, made it even better.

I'd planned on going along to the match and was going to film the locations around the ground regardless of their reply, it was hardly wasted time if they decided against the idea of a video. Next thing I knew I had a media pass and was down by The Holte End filming crowd shots. Unbelievable scenes.

I normally find these sort of efforts pretty cringe worthy, but that's decent. Nice one.

That's a good response from the club resulting in a great video. Well done Daniel. Keep it going.

Great call to get filming done that day!

Btw don't just press play on the embedded video, make sure you change to the highest YouTube resolution...
Title: Re: Villa song
Post by: DanielRolinson on March 20, 2015, 12:32:21 AM
Yes agree! Definitely watch on 1080p for the best quality.

I've had it playing on the TV with surround sound, the beats with the cuts to different shots work really well, but my favourite part has to be the 82 goal with the commentary too.

Footy songs by fans are normally a bit naff. That was alright though to be honest. I did quite like the other one that got played at the end of home games when we won. I keep forgetting what it's called.

Fix your eyes on the big screens today in anticipation that this video could be played today at Villa Park!

Post by: Hookeysmith on March 22, 2015, 08:43:33 AM
Really love it and the video works really well.
As a side note the last shot of the crowd edging forward, then raising in anticipation, holding for a split second then erupting in unison epitomises what football is about

Love it
Title: Re: Villa song
Post by: DanielRolinson on March 30, 2015, 10:35:28 AM
Just wanted to say a big thanks to all who have watched the video this past week.

It now has over 4000 views which is more than we all expected so thanks again.

Let's try and push it to 5000 or more, and then onto the Wembley big screens!





Cheers
