As soon as the majority caught the words, it's speed increased 10 fold and it became another song blighted by inane and unnecessary clapping.



Sorry to be so miserable!

It was great when not so many knew the full tune as it was sung properly.As soon as the majority caught the words, it's speed increased 10 fold and it became another song blighted by inane and unnecessary clapping.Sorry to be so miserable!





This is quite a tragic habit that so many seem to be afflicted with. It just kills songs. We'll Be With You should have no clapping and be sung at a steady pace on a loop. What actually happens is



"We'll be with you, bewithyou, bwithu evrystepalongthwayy, wllbwyou,bewyou,byyoursdewelalwstay" as clapping gets faster and faster completely out of time to the song so the song is forced to try to get some semblance of timing with the inane clapping.



It's like trying to shove a block of cheddar through a keyhole. I do suspect it's a sign of the attention span of the younger generation getting shorter and shorter.

If only we had something to help the whole crowd keep time. It would have to be loud enough for the entire stadium to hear yet have the resonance and punch to carry the beat. Nah, can't think of anything

We'll be with you NEEDS clapping in it...



CITY *clap clap clap* CITY *clap clap clap*...... But that should be the only clapping involved



Too many of our songs are ruined by clapping and singing it 5x quicker than it should be sang!
