Every proper party has to have music. Birthdays are no exception. And if the candles reveal a figure like 125, the matter deserves its own soundtrack. And so it will be. The 125th anniversary of the founding of FC Barcelona will be celebrated and remembered with a song, among other initiatives. An original hymn that is not intended to replace any other, but to be added to the playlist of the Blaugrana imagination. In fact, it is not thought of yet. Or maybe halfway. The commissioner of this anniversary, David Carabén, puts his musical side at the service of the cause, in addition to his culé, to find this new Clam . This is, without going any further, the title of the TV3 documentary series that narrates Carabén’s journey to find lyrics, composition and musical production.
Those who understand music and creation often explain how difficult it is to find inspiration. And, in this sense, it seems to me that the 125th birthday could not have coincided with a better moment for Barça. It is not that the new song has to x-ray the current Barça, far from it. However, life circumstances, the photograph of the current Blaugrana moment does bring together everything that the new anthem has to reflect.
Barça is back, if it ever left completely. Nobody doubts it and many fantasize about whether a new reign begins
In it The Nou Clam Carabén himself and other faces of Barça, some popular or very popular and others anonymous, point out everything that the song should bring together, the spirit of this new music and lyrics. We want to celebrate that we remain faithful to what makes us unique. An idea of the game, a way of understanding football, always wanting the ball. They are signs of identity that Barça preserves and that make it recognizable, when they are present, and make it missable when they are missing. We celebrate total football. And by God’s faith they celebrated it at the Santiago Bernabéu! And also against Bayern, and before that against Sevilla. It’s not just winning, but how you win. Victories to enjoy and to recover self-love. We celebrate the Masia, we celebrate the future. What do you have to do, but congratulate yourself when you see Pedri, Fermín, Pau Cubarsí, Dani Olmo on the pitch. Or on stage to Lamine Yamal and Aitana Bonmatí, with European football standing applauding.
The present enchants and the future excites. We want to celebrate that we are still alive, that we are still and are. And Barça is back, if it had ever completely left. But now it is. Nobody doubts it and many fantasize about whether it is the beginning of a new reign. Of one of those cycles where everything is possible and, what’s more, it ends up becoming a reality. Who knows? Right now, they are only intuitions based, yes, on something palpable, on the rhythm of goals, on the melody of victories, on the harmony of the locker room, on the harmony of the fans, photographs in Paris. And, how nice, to be able to play Barça to music at a moment like this in Blaugrana history.
