While the sky is blue - The Believers (1 Viewer)

[jto123]

Does anybody else have nostalgia for this song?

I get it’s slightly naff, but I remember hearing it in the shop for my first visits to Highfield Road in the late 90s, so I associate it with that incredible excitement of my first live football matches. I’m probably in the minority, but would love to hear it on more match days in the playlist before the rendition of WLADITT.

Pretty sure if I had a search in the loft I've still got the CD!

 

[torchomatic]

Yeah, I bought the CD. Was it Steve someone or other? Dreadful song.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Better than WLADITT

 

[torchomatic]

Better than WLADITT

Yeah, you're right. Got it stuck in my head now.

 

[torchomatic]

Instantly sucked back to HR:

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Yeah, you're right. Got it stuck in my head now.

Think we played it early years at the Ricoh too? I only managed to go to highfield road a few times due to my age, but for sure remember this song well.

You might be right. Can't remember. Just reminds me of HR as does the lovely version of the Eton Boating Song they've taken to playing at the CBS now. Pleased to hear that again.

 

[torchomatic]

Oh God, this too:

 

[Sick Boy]

Nothing will ever beat Stand up for the Sky Blues.

Ha. We've had some horrors over the years.

 

[torchomatic]

If Bruce Springsteen was from Radford.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Oh God, this too:

Had a pen that played that haha

 

[torchomatic]

Had a pen that played that haha

God, now I desperately want one!

 

[torchomatic]

I'm actually really enjoying this....Coventry, pride of the Midlands!

Instantly sucked back to HR:

Love the Club badge that's how it should look.

I don't know why they can't play these songs on the buildup to the game at CBS.

Love a bit of nostalgia.

This is the best out of the three songs should definitely be played at the CBS.

Rather this that all that modern shite they play that no-one cares about.

 

[SkyBluePower]

It used to be played on repeat from a little boombox in the old club shop ( the anecdote)

I'd love to do the axe solo in the middle of the pitch at half-time.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Yeah who decides what gets played the CBS.

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

I all of a sudden feel like I want to eat a McDonalds while wearing a denim jacket, cowboy hat and boots. Drive a Ford F-150 with Nascar on the radio and shooting a gun in the air.

Oh God, this too:

By far the worst.

 

[steve cooper]

Remember this?

 

[torchomatic]

Yeah who decides what gets played the CBS.

Not sure. They just play the dreary records that loosely relate to the player chants. So, annoying.

 

[torchomatic]

Remember this?

That's actually my video and my record!! THat's my son when he was 8 or something.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Someone needs to have a word with Doug King.

 

[torchomatic]

Someone needs to have a word with Doug King.

Or serenade him.

Absolutely love it.
I've played this song from youtube many a time.

This was my memory haha. It was like Disneyland for Coventry City fans.

 

[Sick Boy]

Ha. We've had some horrors over the years.

I actually quite like it but think it's probably likely due to the association with last day escapes in the PL. I'd forgotten about the C-O-V - E- N-T-R-Y bit.

For a while they played it as the team came out instead of "all sing together" IIRC

I have a couple of CCFC LPs too. One from the 60s and one from 1983 which celebrated 100 years of CCFC. On the front there was a dreadful picture of a few players: Terry Gibson and others dressed in 19th C attire and on the back the same picture but them in the kit. Tallon, I think. Not played it for decades. Will have to dig it out.

 

[Sick Boy]

Was it during the early 00s that we came out to a medley of The Final Countdown and O Fortuna?

I agree, the nostalgia is strong. Maybe we should mention it to Pete next time he has a meeting to get this played more.
