If only people would start singing it in the lower octave.
It sounds ridiculous when the tenors wobble down an octave when they let their "voices ring".
Falter more like.

Agreed. I am a wobbly tenor. A few semitones could do it. Google says the following. Perhaps the Albion media team can work on it....

You can change the key of a song digitally by using any digital audio workstation, or any other pitch shifting tools at your disposal. Moving the master file or all of the individual files of your track simultaneously up or down pitches will change keys in a song.

 

[Stato]

Thanks for posting. That was a good listen.

[Right Back]

Thanks for sharing. Had a listen in the garden and it was beautiful.

 

[Motogull]

He was wrong about us following the original words though wasn't he?

I never hear an 'Oh Sussex', and the amount of numpties that sing 'and we tell them all' gets on my tits.

Miss Cowl from Stringer would be proud of your music knowledge .... if you'd actually been there!

Pat Nevin:
"Having the words up for inclusivity is sooo Brighton.
Brighton is the coolest place in Britain"

I like Pat Nevin. Having listened to that piece, I like him more than ever.

[ROSM]

What a superb feature. I've heard a few and Pat Nevin is a student of football and 'gets it'. A few weeks ago they covered the mull of kintyre /forest connection and did that proud too

 

[Sorrel]

A good programme, recorded that bit from the internet...

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

HGSB me. 'Poof' Brookes thought I was a yob.

Plus, having listened to some of Bernard Sumner's earlier efforts,
I have long desisted from slipping into octave embarrassment.

I'm sorry to say that I still occasionally sing:
"Good old sausage by the sea".
I'll get my crutches.....

They whole song is in the wrong key for a loud rendition at least for most people
A key change would make the whole song much fuller and louder

 

[Mackenzie]

You can tell by the smell
cos it stinks like hell
in Sussex by the sea......

Love our anthem, I NEVER clap and finish with a FLOURISH

 

[jcdenton08]

This was a wonderful listen!

 

[A1X]

What an excellent piece, something to feel really proud of

 

[jcdenton08]

The only thing I would say about SBTS, is it all goes so well until “so let your voices”. It’s too high for most, so we drop an octave, which isn’t easy for non-singers on the fly, which always makes that bit sound shit
