Sunshine on Leith

[Since452]

Just magnificent. The best anthem in world football. Can only imagine how it feels being a player listening to that after a famous victory. Goosebumps.

[Green Man]

It was brilliant, you could see how much it meant to Josh Campbell as he was belting it out. Great to see quite a few other players singing it too.

[hibsbollah]

Its getting a tonne of social media attention. Possibly helped by the recent chris martin version and the Celtic win.

[21.05.2016]

Best football anthem on the planet hands down. So lucky to have it as ours and only ours, when its in full swing there's nothing like it.

[hibee_girl]

To hear it belted out like twice in 8 days is something special.

[Jakhog1]

Lady in my work who is not remotely interested in football said that if she supported a team it would be hibs on the back of this song, that's the power off it

[TelaStella]

That was the best since 2016.

Imagine being a Jambo. Even walking away from the stadium there would be no escaping it. Fantastic.

[cubehindthegoal]

None better than… simples … and the fact all other football fans hear it and either ..

- agree and enjoy

- or weep into their rangers or hearts scarves ..(and some celtic ones too lol)

makes it all the more better

It truly is simply the best ever football supporters anthem 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 .. oh to be 💚

[Up-the-slope]

Love Joe Newell on the pitch at start of that getting the whole squad together and being a proper Captain - he just gets how important days like this is after many ones that did not go well...

Dwight Gayle at the end just loving it - when you consider hes played at St James's etc and other big clubs he was lapping it up - hope he signs another year as good older professionals set standards for younger ones to follow

[cubehindthegoal]

Couldn’t run fast enough … but hey, it’s a good song, makes us proud 💚

And tbh I don’t revel in the negative stuff .. like all football fans who get that song, our song, we share it with you .. and there’s wind up esp with rangers and hearts and celtic… but .. we .. are .. Hibs .. we don’t want your nonsense .. we are happy with us being us and not being your stuff .. most of us, some get dragged into it, I know .. but

sunshine on leith .. share it folks if you choose 💚💚💚💚

What an anthem that is - so glad it's ours. I truly love that song. The rendition of it today sounded amazing, and so loud. I don't think I'll ever manage to sing along to it at Hibs games without filling up with tears.

Gayle was unbelievable when he came on! He chased everything down and some of his crunching tackles were exactly what was required. He sang every word to SOL. He just seems to love it here.

[AltheHibby]

That was simply amazing and turned the atmosphere dusty in my house.

[Glory Lurker]

If you join this club, this is what you get when you deliver. It's a selling point to any player who believes in himself.

[JohnM1875]

The Celtic one was good, but that was on another level today. Always better when we beat them.

[Keith_M]

I may have mentioned this once or twice before... OK, quite a few times :-)


I was over the moon when I was in Germany and bought the football magazine '11 Freunde' and saw this article on Sunshine on Leith.

They voted it the best football anthem ever.

If the south stand was on fire they could not have got out any quicker. They were literally running out and jumping over seats to get out when it started up :na na:

[Jim44]

When was last time SoL was played two games in a row at Easter Road?

It was fantastic. Even some Jambos and Celtic supporters sang their praises and declared it the best club anthem on the planet. Not unexpectedly, quite few Huns were sneering that it was sung today, with comments such as “ Did they win the league today?” and “ The cup final’s not been played yet.” Sour grapes at it’s sourest.:greengrin

I actually know a few huns who love it. Some of them latched on that time they won the league at Easter Road but for a lot of people it’s just a great song.

[Since452]

The praise it's getting on the socials is great. Folk are falling in love with the Hibees

[GreenCastle]

https://youtu.be/r0SQ2Q2yca0?si=dno17eIHW1VYfs_k

Wow - what a team - squad and club.

Incredible must watch and another amazing derby celebration video.

[Cat Stanton]

It's all the ***** times that make the beautiful times so beautiful.

[GreenCastle]

Something so special about this song is it’s completely unique to Hibs.

Celtic and Liverpool have the same song.

Other clubs have tried to force anthems but this is just such a special song for Hibs only.

The comments on Hibs X have loads of other fans commenting about it and many other fans saying they would visit Easter Road to try sample it one day.

Yesterday with the players linked up showed the unity at the club and loved the celebrations.

[greenlex]

One of the best things about it is that it’s sung only at big wins. It would lose something if it was otherwise.

[SHODAN]

If it wasn't for the fact that the song is literally named for our location then Celtic would have stolen it years ago. It must sicken them that they can't.

[Pagan Hibernia]

100%. I don't want to hear it again now until May after the Scottish Cup Final :greengrin

My wife could hear it in the house in Willowbrae

[He's here!]

I actually know a few huns who love it. Some of them latched on that time they won the league at Easter Road but for a lot of people it’s just a great song.

Fans of numerous clubs in Scotland and England, as you say even Rangers fans, have spoken with me about how good it is. Plenty fans of all persuasions are also fans of the Proclaimers, which helps, but what really sets the song apart is that it's unique to us. There's no other club which can sing about sunshine on Leith and have it make sense.

[jakeshibs]

What a great day, great result and could not stop the a tear from falling as I belted out SOL from the West Upper Stand, outstanding to everyone, we are hibs.

[The Spaceman]

One thing I’ve noticed over the course of this run is the embracing of our core songs by the fans. Both Glory Glory and Hibs Heroes are now being sung by the fans to great effect (having previously been just played almost as a background) with SoL obviously saved for the big games but getting a more regular outing rather than just cup finals. It’s great as they are core to our identity (thanks Mikey) and help solidify our special brand in the footballing world.

[CentreLine]

What I love is that it’s a straight forward love song, not towards a person but towards an inanimate location or situation. Its is utterly harmless and non confrontational. It’s about people being in harmony with a place or moment in life. Anyone that finds it difficult to handle is needs to find some inner peace and ditch their own anger.
It doesn’t surprise me but is sad that there is a kickback tonight in some quarters. Some people may get a little confused when there is no edge at all in a song. It’s a thing of beauty

I do find it ironic that the the rangers fans sing Caledonia as an anthem though.
Another beautiful song with no edge to it. The irony being that it’s a love song specifically about Scotland and its roots. Bless them

[we are hibs]

We are danger of it being overused now. Winning far too many big games these days [emoji23]


Think you take it for granted how many times it was sung after a big win during Stubbs/Lennon times. It felt like an absolute age since it was sung and played before beating Hearts in April 23 and it felt and sounded much better than you can remember.

The bit in bold is another thing that adds to the uniqueness. You can’t just turn up at ER and here it any time. Its spontaneous and only sung in certain moments. To hear it in the flesh, you just “have to be there” - in the moment.

[Stairway 2 7]

Two older women at work asked me today, when it will next be sung as they would like to get tickets to see it, both aren't interested in football. Had to tell them it doesn't work like that unfortunately ha

[One Day Soon]

Oh man. Wet eyes at the game and wet eyes again watching this. We are so, so lucky to have that as our anthem. The football world really loves it, everywhere.

Most clubs don’t have what we have. Will never take it for granted. SOL is really, really special.

[Keith_M]

When we played Blackpool in 2023, some Blackpool Fans told us after the match that they were really disappointed with our support that day because we didn't sing Sunshine on Leith.


One of them said that was part of the reason he was there, to join in :greengrin

[GreenCastle]

Plus you don’t know when you will hear it next !

It’s like some sort of magical anthem and nothing better than singing it with the Hibs family showing club togetherness.

[wookie70]

Gayle was unbelievable when he came on! He chased everything down and some of his crunching tackles were exactly what was required. He sang every word to SOL. He just seems to love it here.

I'm not usually in favour of that type of signing but Gayle has changed my mind. He was brilliant when he came on yesterday with superb energy and some really clever closing down. Hoillett in a totally different way was a big part of that last 10 minutes being easy street. Both have had a number of important contributions over the season.

For all the talk about disastrous transfer windows etc it has been a long time since our squad was a decent number, very balanced and obvious competition for places. The subs look hungry and that isn't just based on yesterday. Those involved in trimming the squad down and shaping it to have such good cover deserve a lot of credit

[Since452]

Over a million views of it on Hibs X in less than 24 hours. Hibs are massive.

[Scouse Hibee]

Imagine being a Jambo. Even walking away from the stadium there would be no escaping it. Fantastic.

I had to leave right on the final whistle to get to work, could hear it being belted out all the way down St Clair street, magnificent.

[mcohibs]

I genuinely think scenes like yesterday with SOL and the attention it gets in the modern age could be a selling point for potential players. It shows our club in a great light.

Biased but who wouldn’t want to come and play football in front of that in one of the best cities in the world? Magic.

A few months ago he said this would be his last season as a professional footballer, but we seem to be giving him cause to reconsider.

All depends if his body is up for it.

What makes SOL Special is the irregular nature of it, most Club Anthems are a weekly thing, generally before a match same time, same place, rinse and repeat, the fact SOL happens when it happens means for these football experience “Collectors” who tick off grounds etc, simply going to Easter Road for a Derby or attending a cup final doesn’t give you access to the full Sunshine On Leith Hibs Event it only gives you a % chance of getting that and that’s what it’s all about 💚

Spot on. I personally don’t want to hear it again until we have either won the cup, or the next time they visit Easter Road. There is nothing better than watching them stream out spewing, whilst 3 stands belt out Sunshine on Leith. It makes it all the more special, that it is used sparingly, when it really matters.

[LewysGot2]

The SoL back to backs this last week has annoyed all the right dafties.

Folks of all persuasions tying themselves in knots over either

* swearing it's not even close to (insert song of their own club) - aye mainly The Tribute Actors

* celebration police acting as sole arbitors of acceptable conduct post wins (Rover driving, sweater wearing Gorgie dwelling bores)

It's absolutely hilarious when they start arguing about the postcodes, and the boundaries between Leith and Lochend... so pathetic and reveals they have hit the absolute bottom of the barrel.

Other crackers include "make your minds up, are you an Edinburgh team or a leith team?"... well since Leith has been in Edinburgh for over a century now, how about both? You absolute roasters!

Lol- to be honest though...most weeks the East is very empty by the end of games - even games we win, and the clear out starts on about 80 mins. Always think it's a bit of a pity there's so few in the ground for normal games when the players are trying to acknowledge the fans. (I do know the East is hard to get out off hence the early leavers).

I think we would need to beat Barca or Real to even get close to that AEK atmosphere.

[bingo70]

I was just on the phone to a potential client at my work who’s from the south of England, I mentioned I was from Edinburgh and he straight away asked if I watched the Hibs Hearts game at the weekend. I said I did and he said he had no skin in the game whatsoever, doesn’t normally watch Scottish football but he found himself getting caught up in the emotion of it and had a wee lump in his throat. Said he didn’t know where it came from and why he started feeling like that but is going to start taking more than a passing interest in us going forward because of it.

I’m not sure what was so different this weekend compared to last or previous renditions of it but it really seems to have captured the attention of the footballing world this time around. Really is magic.

Mon the Hibs.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

You could be mistaken for thinking their stadium was near Chernobyl next to the Pripyat river.

I've been to both, I think I prefer Pripyat.

[GreenCastle]

Was quite young at the Hands off Hibs rally but was it not sung that day ?

AEK will special atmosphere - I was at game but can’t remember when we sung it ? Must have been at the start ?

That’s another discussion - before or after games - of course many a time it’s after but we have sung it before at Hampden etc if the DJ plays it.

Villa Park was one of the best away day renditions.

Obviously 2016 tops it all - would give anything to go back then and sing it again.

As said above we don’t often get the players linked arms together like we did Sunday. Maybe this will carry on in future ?

Always after games. And only on certain occasions. A unique anthem that isn’t for playing any old time. I can never remember it being played at Hampden before a game. But I’m rarely in there more than half an hour before ko so maybe it has been played when the ground is pretty empty. Would seem a strange choice though.

[SHODAN]

It is a shame but can’t blame people, the east is a shocker to get out of if you’re up the back. Takes an eternity.

We're right at the back and we always time it so we start heading down the stairs in the final minute of injury time. Sit down in an empty seat next to the exit for the final few seconds then straight out, easy.

We stayed on Sunday though!

We played it before, at half time and after the infamous 0-1 v Hearts on the day we paraded the league cup in 2007. Lesson learned after that I think.

2007 was far better than 2016.

That's how I remember it too. I remember Paco Luna missed a late chance in normal time to win the tie for Hibs, but we had overturned a 2-0 deficit from the first leg by full time and the whole stadium was buzzing. The SoL was brilliant.

Of course, we were all deflated pretty quickly once extra time started and AEK scored. But it was good while it lasted!

[NAE NOOKIE]

That must have been the best rendition of SOL at ER since we started singing it, no?


Without doubt. I said that to my laddie as we were leaving. Another unique thing about Sunday was the fact that the players all stood in a line facing the East as it was belted out. Magical.

:agree: I thought that as well. It wasn't just that everybody stayed, but everyone seemed to want to absolutely smash it. I have been at every game it's been sung at 2007, 2016 etc etc but I doubt I've heard it done better :thumbsup:

NOTE .... I wasn't there, but fair play to the folks who went to Villa Park and did it without the music ... not easy.

[DIXIHIBS]

2007 was far better than 2016.

It was. At least 30k hibbies that day and first time it was played at Hampden. Awesome. Although 2016 wasn't too bad either.

Indeed ..... It must be the most valuable bit of waste ground in Edinburgh and why Hibs haven't tried to do something more meaningful with it than a matchday car park is a bit of a mystery to be honest. Hell, they could even level it and keep the car park with something built on top of it. Kind of like TESCO in Galashiels :greengrin

SoL used to be played by a Hibs DJ BEFORE kick off in the late 80s after it's release and into the early 90s. Not every home game, maybe just big games. I think we had a tie up with Radio Forth, may have been Bill Barclay. The PA wasn't as good, on the East Terrace we gave it a good go but nothing like the recent performances. Was definitely played at the HoH event at ER, probably the Usher Hall gig too.

My seat in 2007, was quite close to Charlie Reid's that day, and he was bawling his eyes out at SoL. And who can blame him? It's magical, uplifting, heartfelt and gives me goosebumps every time, and makes me very very proud to be a Hibs supporter.

That was part of the AGM presentation yes. Also satellite facilities in the west side of Edinburgh and in Lanarkshire. I don’t remember the timescale mentioned but exciting times for the profile and development of the club.

Its a while ago but I started following home and away in 1979 and throughout the 80s and 90s barely missing a game. I still cannot recall SOL being played at ER even occasionally until the Mercer rally.

I mentioned it only because we had reached a point where reference was being made to SoL being sung at the AEK game. The pro USA chanting that night was noteworthy at the time - I hadn't previously heard anything like it and - although I think it was at least partially because the AEK support was not of a pro-American bent. I remember it because i was surprised and impressed by it.

We have had an immensely powerful and important relationship with the USA for the last 80 years up until now. It is currently being recklessly torched by the fascists occupying their government in their actions towards us and our allies and friends. I'll leave it there as this is more appropriate for the Holy Ground.

Hibs fans trying to get YNWA reintroduced as a 'Hibs song' as late as 2006... :confused: :rolleyes: I've nothing against the song but the idea of being just another club that sings it when everyone knows it as a Liverpool FC anthem leaves me very cold. I'm glad we let it go.

Interesting that SoL hadn't really caught on in 2006. A few on there didn't like it and a few others complaining that nobody sang along except for the chorus. How times change.

YNWA used to be a great spectacle. Now it's just an oversaturated gimmick that loads of clubs do. SOL will never be like that. That's what makes it so special.

SOL was part of the soundtrack played over footage of the HOH rally on the video of 'the team that would not die' which would maybe make it seem that it had been played.

YNWA belted out on a special, emotional occasion (eg Klopp's last game, or that post Hillsborough Cup Final in 1989) is spectacular and might just have the edge on SOL. Might. And even then it's very close.

The standard 3pm Saturday pre-match going-through-motions YNWA vs SOL? No contest. Sunshine on Leith by a country mile.

The sense of occasion is the difference and it's why we need to resist any attempt to get it played more regularly.

I liked it when we used to sing YNWA.

I remember hearing that Chic Young was absolutely raving about it, and the atmosphere in general that night.

We'd not been in great form for a few months and I was beginning to get a bit fed up with it all but that night got me right back on track - even though we followed up be getting beaten by Livi and then rest of the season being agony.

Like others, I'm pretty sure that was the first time we sang it, although no doubt it had been on the tannoy before. Last time I remember singing YNWA was the 2-2 Andy Walker derby.

There's a place for a number of glorious football anthems...as those who haven't been to the restrictedest view in Scotland before will hear today. Let everyone else debate what's best and smile.

All the right people will be frothing at the mouth - as it would appear, literally!

Nah, it is the best. Hearts, and, Celtic’s Most Uberest Fans in the World know it and they hate it. Just enjoy their envy… GGTTH

Sung at half-time during AEK game. AEK fans liked it enough to applaud.

Listening to Off the Ball on Saturday I heard them suggest we’ve only got to hit the crossbar and we’ll sing SOL. Not sure what planet they’re on but it’s not half hurting other clubs and the media that SOL has gone viral across the globe.

100%.

Envy from other clubs fans that Hibs have started promoting the song a bit more and fans from Hearts and Celtic seem gutted we sang it at ER against them and it went viral with their fans in background sneaking out / fire drill out of Easter Road.

Don’t care less really - it’s an incredible song and unique to Hibs. Other clubs can try and copy Hibs but it won’t be the same and they know it.

No doubt that gimp Cowan. Can remember him ripping us for cheering the team after 2013 final.

Hearts fans are absolutely mortified by it and rightly so. They are a club and a support that basically live off their derby record and their supposed superiority to Hibs.

Seeing the images of Hibs players and fans celebrating after beating them go viral with all the positive comments from neutral fans is their worst nightmare. A huge embarrassment. Good!

As for celtic, a lot of their fans are quite complimentary, as for the ones that aren't, well, we know exactly why don't we. It's because they can't cope with not being the centre of attention in Scottish football for once.

If there's one thing Hibs haven't done with their anthem it's rip the pish out of it. I make it only 5 times in the last 7 years that we've sung it. One of them was unofficially at villa park, at 8-0 down, another was before a game in tribute to Ron Gordon. So that leaves just three times in seven years that we've sung it in celebration with the players. And two of those were in the last three weeks.

Pretty sure at full time before extra time

I think it was played more than once that night. Definitely the first time I remember hearing it at ER but I wasn't at the HoH rally.

One thing is for sure, if you didn’t already know, SoL has absolutely rattled folk over the last wee while.

The amount of Jambos I’ve seen on the back of our result talking about it is insane.

They are hurting big time.

Im genuinely worried about the welfare of some of the Hearts fans with things they've been posting over the last 8 days. Like seriously not good mentally what that defeat has done to them.

The events of the last three weeks has produced something I never thought I'd see, a sense of solidarity between Celtic fans and Hearts fans. Almost backslapping each other after Sunday's game. Lovely to know we've rattled and embarrassed the pair of them to the extent they're seeking comfort in numbers.

We've upset all the right people

No time for YNWA outside of Liverpool, leave it there, it simply doesn't belong to anyone else. Newcastle have Blaydon Races, West Ham Bubbles, Birmingham City 'Keep Right on...' (a Harry Lauder song so I don't quite know how it ended up there...) Point is that there are plenty nice footballing anthems that can be unique to each club for supporters imaginative enough to embrace one. No need for dumb, butt-licking 'tributes' to other supports. YNWA is as Hibs as 'The Sash', and while originally great is now played out (mostly, to be fair, by those tribute acts) and is miles behind SOL as football song numero uno.
