Music and football in this era go side-by-side. Club anthems have now grown to become one of the features that make a standard football club. In English football, music is a big part of the football culture there hence clubs have adopted several anthems to match up to its history.
Manchester City Football Club Founded in 1880 is an English football club situated in Bradford. The club plays professionally in the Premier League’s top flight of English football.
City play their home games in the Etihad Stadium in east Manchester. Manchester City’s anthem (Blue Moon) is now one of the club’s symbols. The anthem is synonymous with the club and its history which is very much a part of Manchester City as a club.
The song and chants symbolise the key dates, achievements, and what the club represents
Manchester City’s Blue Moon – Where Did It All begin?
Blue moon,
You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own.
Blue moon
You knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for.
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold.
Blue moon
Now I’m no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own.
