    Default This MUST be our anthem!!!!

    It's not cheesy like BNL's attempt at making a TFC anthem.... This is a simply spectacular song and the video's just as good. We have to start singing this as soon as possible!!!!!!!

    Bring the wind to carry me over,
    Lead me home to my town,
    Tell me when that breeze is blowing,
    Toronto's my home, it's my town.

    awesome.

    I was a bit worried someone would make the BNL comparison, but I'm glad to see you say it's NOT like their song.

    This is SO much better. To be honest I rather liked the BNL one as well, but it was a bit too cheesy. This one goes straight to the heart.

    We've needed a true "epic" song ala YNWA. Could this be it?

    The video is truly top class... I'm looking to do this sort of thing for a living, next time there's a video to be made mind letting me have a crack at it?

    Honestly, I prefer Legend TFC. This one is a little cheesy too.

    I'm not a fan of "Anthem" talk.

    I think my major criticism with calling something "the anthem" as opposed to "a anthem" is that it limits itself.

    The first ever Celtic CD I bought was called "The Celtic Songs EP". It was amazing, it had 4 songs, each are considered "Anthems", but you don't have to slap the tag on it.

    I think this tune will (and probably should be) at the top of the list in terms of "TFC songs" or "TFC anthemS" <- note the plural, but I'd love to hear Legend TFC and Are You Red at BMO too. I'd also like to hear some more artists step up with more tunes.

    We've got this great tune now and it can be an amazing part of our history - how great would it be to have more!

    I agree with that, last year I bought an LP of Leeds United songs, ranging from Glory, Glory Leeds United to the Ballad of Billy Bremner to a song about Don Revie. It would be great if some day we could release something like that...

    I just said "THE anthem" because I think it's the best out of them... TBH I find that Legend TFC is a bit too "You'll Never Walk Alone"-ish, and I can't stand Liverpool.

    that was good fun... nice job

    King Dave!!! Fucking cracks me up!!!!


    I agree with canadian_bhoy... we don't need to keep using that word "anthem".
    I actually think it spoils the fun of the song when we try to attach a hefty tag on it like that.

    It's a song for the masses... and that's good enough!

    I don't know if you've ever heard the recorded version of 'Ooh aah Cantona', but something similar to that would be great...

    i bet 50 bucks that this chant will Never be done by 2 or more people in the stadium. no ones got used to Singing as part of a chant in the stadium yet. few will try to get the lyrics and memorize them. would be a Breakthrough if it happened, but i just dont see it working, look at Saturday's game for example...

    I'd been thinking of suggesting it, but I'd assumed that people on here would already know it... The Man Utd fans should, at least. Now, I'm no DJ, but if we got a whole bunch of fans together to sing the Dichio song in front of a microphone at a certain tempo, we could make a sick sounding record.

    .

    wait a sec! I thought this was our anthem!!!!



    We are Icy Warriors from up high in the north!
    We are mighty and we are strong!
    We'll never cower!
    'Cause we have the power!
    We're TFC!
    Strong TFC!
    We Are Mighty!




    before you start thinking this is serious... it is not!
    Some RPB old timers might remember it from the start of last season.
    There was a big argument started about anthems
    ...and ExiledRed posted those lyrics in response to the crap suggestions from others.
    I decided to put them to music! And a classic was born!

    Its got its ruff spots but I love it none the less.

    Glad you guys kept this under wraps so it could get finished.
