Admittedly before many games Liverpool fans "go through the motions" with the song, but on the occasions when it is sung properly (at big games, on anniversaries of the Hillsborough Disaster etc.) it seems to sum up everything about being from Liverpool and supporting the club. It's about dignity, loyalty, defiance, love, community - basically all the positive aspects of the human character. It was a strange song to pick for a Merseybeat band - being originally from a Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, but it works so well. I also always enjoyed singing it at maximum volume during the "National" Anthem at Cup Finals to emphasise how little the Queen means to the ordinary working class football supporters of Liverpool. You'll Never Walk Alone is OUR anthem.
