ENGLISH SYNOPSIS :

THE FILM BRINGS TO LIFE LIVERPOOL FC’S LAST 10 YEARS THROUGH
THE STORY OF ONE LOYAL, LOCAL FAN, BUILDING TO THE CLUB’S IMPROBABLE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE VICTORY IN 2019, WHICH EARNED THEM THE TITLE “CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE” FOR THE 6TH TIME. DURING THE FILM, THERE ARE REFERENCES TO PIVOTAL CLUB MOMENTS THAT TOOK PLACE DURING THIS PERIOD, AS WELL AS NODS TO LEGENDS LIKE STEVEN GERRARD, PHILIPPE COUTINHO, KENNY DALGLISH, AND OTHERS. CURRENT STARS LIKE FORWARD ROBERTO FIRMINO, MOHAMED SALAH AND LOCAL BOY TRENT ALEXANDER-ARNOLD, AS WELL AS MANAGER JURGEN KLOPP,
ARE ALSO HIGHLIGHTED. CELEBRATING THE UPS AND DOWNS OF THE CLUB AND HOW THE BANK HAS STOOD BY THEM THROUGH IT ALL FOR 10 THRILLING YEARS.

ENGLISH CONTEXT EXPLANATION :

“YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE” – A SHOW TUNE FROM THE 1945 RODGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN MUSICAL CAROUSEL IS SO SYNONYMOUS WITH
THE CLUB AND IS STEEPED IN ITS TRADITIONS. OVER THE YEARS, IT HAS BECOME A TRADITION FOR FANS TO SING RIGHT BEFORE THE START OF EVERY MATCH. A TUNE PROUDLY EXPELLED FROM THE LUNGS OF EVERY SUPPORTER IN THE STANDS TO THE PLAYERS ON THE PITCH. INSTEAD OF CREATING SOMETHING NEW, WE FOLLOWED OUR INSTINCT AND COMMISSIONED A BESPOKE COVER BY EMERGING ARTIST ASTRÆA.
WE KNEW THE VOCAL NEEDED TO BE SUNG BY A FEMALE VOICE, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE FILM ITSELF IS CENTRED AROUND A YOUNG WOMAN, AND KEEPING THE MUSIC DELICATE AND DYNAMIC TO COMPLIMENT AND DRIVE THE ODYSSEY. THE TRACK HAD TO SOUND AS IF IT WERE COMING FROM THE MAIN CHARACTER AND TO GROW AS SHE GREW WITH THE TEAM.
