Chef Jim Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 I like it. Don't worry about the negative feedback. Most people have their default setting stuck on HATE. They are probably still listening to music written before 1987. This is actually pretty good. That's right brah, only good music was written post 1987.
Chilly Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 That's right brah, only good music was written post 1987. *1998. Happy to help.
ExiledInIllinois Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 (edited) I wouldn't necessarily call this song 'anthemic.' That's what I would say. It isn't bad but, how can it be an anthem? An anthem would have to cross generations and be timeless, not dated. Too many references to current players, new coaches, etc... Could this be played 20 years from now? Maybe parts of it... Kinda like the Sabres "We're Gonna Win That Cup" from 1975, it is just not an anthem. NOW, Sabre Dance (Khachaturian) doubles nicely as an anthem for the team. Also, the Bills "Shout" is still an anthem. Fight songs can't be dated. Look @ the Bears and "that football team" (I did that on purpose-- ;-P ) from Washington D.C. ... Now they have "anthems" and fight songs! As somebody else said, Marv Levy's was a fight song... Even if he ripped it off of Lane Tech (I think it was Lane Tech, Chicago??). Just saying... Again, it is not bad but, its just too dated from the get go. My 2 cents... No offense! Edited September 29, 2013 by ExiledInIllinois
Campy Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 Not a fan of the genre but I will say this: It takes a fair amount of courage to create and share something - especially on the internet where there isn't much empathy. Thanks for letting us check it out. Go Bills!

BILLS 4 EVER Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 Thanks for posting this. Contrary to what the others say, there is talent here. The constructive criticism to make it better that seems universal. 1.You need a hook. Hot one line that people can chant in unison, that has different beat. 2. The background beat is a little repetitive. Mix it up a little. 3. There are some good lyrics, but a lot of them and some repeat. Tighten it up. You're off to a great start, keep moving forward with it.
NDBUFFCUSEFAN Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 I think my neighbors are going to know the lyrics by the time the game kicks off.
