The best songs are always ones that suit any emotion and any occasion - quite a rarity then.
You'll Never Walk Alone is one of those songs. It will be sung in hard times and in good times, as Liverpool FC fans know enough of plenty. The sense of unity and togetherness, brothers and sisters in arms, fits Liverpool FC, and the city surrounding it, right down to a tee. It sums up that communitarian value that is at the heart of the club, emanating from the fans and the city, which makes it such an appropriate and unique song to the fans. The song really does show us we're all together as one, whether we experience good times or bad.
It helps draw strength from vulnerability, and as a result, any success is more poignant as a result. When we win, we never forget where that hardship and determination came from, and when we're down on our knees and at our lowest through tragedy and failure, we know that if we keep together, we'll be alright.
You'll Never Walk Alone is therefore the hymn that just sums up everything about this special club with their special fans and special city.
