Live footage is taken from Tynecastle Stadium, Edinburgh moments before kick-off at the Scottish Premier League match v St Johnstone FC on 26/01/2019.

Thank you to all the staff at Heart of Midlothian Football club for the great hospitality and kind filming permission. Special thanks to Calum Grant for the guitar accompanyment at the stadium.

The song is a tribute to the Foundation of Hearts and the fans (including myself) who put their hands in their pockets to save this great club. Through the eyes of a 41 year old, it touches on some of our darker times and what it truly means to be a Hearts supporter.


Song lyrics:

I cried as a boy when we lost in Dundee,
Was a horror we could not believe
But through sorrow our love only intensifies,
They'll be heroes long after they die

When in danger, we answered the call
Gathered our money and rescued the day
We will live on! We will live on!
There will always be heart of Midlothian.

At many cup finals we'd fallen away,
...and i wondered if we'd have our day
but nothing would stop us and that's why we say:
"Blood doesn't show on a maroon jersey"

When in danger, we answered the call
Gathered our money and rescued the day
We will live on! We will live on!
There will always be heart of Midlothian.
