My Goodison No.46: Our Theme Does Not End

It’s a sound that arrives before a moment exists. Each note carries the magic of how your story becomes part of everyone else’s.

When you reach your seat and  hear those drums kick in, you’re never elsewhere. There is only now.

Z Cars is a melody that dreams of Everton. A timeless melody. It brings us all together. A tune that moves around the ground before it even touches the air.

Our theme does not end. It only folds itself back into the silence, and waits for the next awakening, just before we take over.

What began as an anthem became a tradition, and then a truth: Everton is forever.
