You'll Never Walk Alone

[3pm]

Poor man's Sunshine on Leith.

[Mcbizz1998]

They sing it ever week, boring.

[Joe6-2]

Was touching but as you say, it ain’t no SOL!

[makaveli1875]

It's Liverpools song

[JimBHibees]

Brilliant song

[3pm]

Brilliant song

It is. Shame Celtic sing it. Certainly sounds better at Anfield.

[JohnM1875]

Poor man's Sunshine on Leith.

Never been a fan, genuinely think it's a boring stinker.

[Scouse Hibee]

Poor man's Sunshine on Leith.

Behave yourself.

[ekhibee]

Don't give a **** about Celtic but it's a great song and always will be.

[Pagan Hibernia]

I think SoL has a couple of things in it's favour. It's uniqueness to one club, and the fact it gets aired so seldom, which makes it a real 'event' when it happens.

YNWA is a special song though.

We'll love ours, understandably, and Liverpool fans will love theirs, understandably. As for celtic fans? Who cares. It's not their song.

Admittedly it's no fault of Liverpool's, but there's about 10 teams that sing YNWA because it isn't unique to them.

Indeed and people of a certain age remember a time when far more than 10 sang it. Practically everyone used to sing it.

[Pretty Boy]

It's a great football song when Liverpool sing it. Properly poignant.

I love Sunshine on Leith, we all do, and I'm confident enough in it's quality that I don't have to rubbish every other clubs anthem to prove a point.

[hibsbollah]

YNWA is like SOL in that its a proper touching emotional song and the lyrics are about solidarity with other humans.

[Smartie]

Don't give a **** about Celtic but it's a great song and always will be.

If it had been left to be Liverpool’s alone, it would be the best in the business.

Celtic have more than tarnished it by taking it.

Very special when performed by the Liverpool fans though.

[3pm]

Behave yourself.

🤣

Just a bit of Sunday night fun. Enjoy your celebrations! 👍🏻

[Smartie]

The lyrics to both are incredibly touching and absolutely beautiful.

SOL IS THE MUSICAL

[Donegal Hibby]

It’s a brilliant song and when sung by Liverpool fans at Anfield it’s special , sung at parkhead it’s just not the same IMO…

Recently here when going to the local supermarket wearing my Hibs top I met a Leeds utd fan on holiday. He spoke about our cup win in 2016 and then mentioned SoL in how he felt emotional hearing it . He added “ It’s undoubtedly the best football song ever …

Sorry for taking things off track a bit but it’s just something else I’m a little proud about to do with our club :greengrin

[greenlex]

It’s special alright. My mum passed at a good old age but before she did she made sure she left a gift for her grandaughter (my daughter) for her 21st. A number of years passed before this event and my sister gave me the wrapped present a few days before. I was/am divorced and my daughter stayed with her mum. I picked her up before we headed off to Easter Road and gave my daughter her Granny’s present all those years later. She opened it and it was a musical jewellery box that plays YNWA. Both of us in bits in the car. Like I said very special.

[McD]

Definitely, YNWA means as much to Liverpool fans as SOL means to Hibs fans, both ingrained in those people, and beautiful to see and hear


Celtic like always have nothing original so steal things from others

[The Harp]

YNWA was sung by fans of many clubs decades ago, including Hibs. Its now acknowledged by most to be Liverpool's anthem, and Liverpool alone. Celtic's claim to it is just nonsense.

It really is. 😭

[He's here!]

It's American in origin and has been covered many times since Rodgers and Hammerstein wrote it for the musical Carousel in the 1950s but it's likely the Pacemakers version which gave it the Liverpool connection. Elvis treated it as a gospel song.

Many clubs' fans have sung it at one time or another, including Hibs pre-Sunshine on Leith.

I get the musical it originated from mixed up with Showboat, which has a similarly anthemic finale in Ol' Man River.

Remember singing it after losing the league cup final against rangers at parkhead.

See that Dylan McGeouch in a recent interview has claimed that YNWA is better than SOL.

and a few hibs fans took that very badly...

It's honestly mental how some people take trivial things like other peoples opinions on football songs so personally. That's social media and the world we live in I guess. I tend to file such nonsense away with the pathetically aggressive and increasingly dull Messi v Ronaldo debates.

[BILLYHIBS]

Celtic copy Liverpool but I thought Liverpool copied us today first time I have seen them lining up in front of the Kop like that 😀

Innovators and pioneers 🇳🇬

[Irish_Steve]

Whisper it but Man U used to sing YNWA before Liverpool did but as per usual with the Mancs, they cocked that up too

[Thatdayinmay16]

Terrible song, wonder if they turned on the famous anfield speakers to help with the "Atmosphere"

[Hibs Go Bragh]

Slightly off topic but Dropkick Murphys do a brilliant cover of YNWA.

[Musselbound]

I was just going to mention that many seem to have forgotten (or were unaware) thar we used to sing it ourselves before SoL came along.

[Scouse Hibee]

Played it at both my Mum & Dad’s funerals, has a special place in my heart and always will. It’s a fantastic song and most will agree. For those that don’t agree, that’s fine with me, it’s what it means to the individual that counts ❤️

100% Scouse. And congratulations on winning the league yesterday. :aok:

Cheers mate, unfortunately never watched it or had the opportunity to celebrate as in the ERI with a relative who hasn’t got long. Delighted we got it across the line though. YNWA.

Sorry to hear that 💚

YNWA is a great football song and I don't see any reason to make negative comparisons between it and SOL.

Bottom line here is that SOL is ours, it's never going to become widely adopted by other clubs for obvious reasons .... mercifully not even Celtic .... and for that reason it will remain unique as a football anthem.

If you want to hear YNWA sung you have a chance of that at a number of grounds, especially Anfield where they sing it all the time. To hear SOL you have to go to a Hibs game and it is quite amusing to know that for the most part even a visit to ER far from guarantees you will :greengrin

I had to laugh at some of the comments last month from opposing (jealous) fans on social media basically implying that we were over using it after singing it two weeks in a row. Comments like "it must be time for Sunshine on Leith?" if we won a corner and suchlike. This about a song that's been aired by hibs fans about five times in the last seven years?! There can't be an anthem in world football that gets sung so rarely.

[Stairway 2 7]

Was about to post the same as this about Messi. YNWA is great and means a lot to many people, fantastic. We're obviously very fortunate to have sunshine on Leith which many impartial people think is the world's greatest. I'd take Liverpools champions league wins for our song though

[Hibernia&Alba]

Not my favourite football song:wink:

But well done to Liverpool and Slot, they fully deserve to be champions.
