From Busking to Playing for Pep Guardiola | City Sounds

Alex Spencer is a Manchester-born musician and lifelong City fan who went from busking on the streets of Market Street to performing for Pep Guardiola and the Manchester City players after the club’s dramatic 2022 Premier League title win. In this episode of City Sounds, Alex takes us through the journey behind his new song These Will Be The Days a track inspired by Manchester, matchdays, Maine Road memories, family roots, and the feeling of being present in the moments that become nostalgia later on. From writing the song in his bedroom, to revisiting Maine Road with his dad, to busking in the streets where City first noticed him, this is the story of how football, music, and Manchester culture came together in one song. 00:00 Introduction: The Bond Between Football and Music 01:29 Writing "These Will Be The Days" 04:01 Playing for Pep Guardiola 06:16 Maine Road History & Emotional Family Memories 08:21 Busking in Manchester: Connecting with the Fans 11:35 Behind the Scenes: Preparing for the Manchester Gig 14:32 Official Performance: "These Will Be The Days" Live 16:15 Outro: Future Dreams at the Etihad Stadium SUBSCRIBE! http://www.youtube.com/subscription_c... http://www.mancity.com   / mancity     / mancity     / mancity     / mancity   About the Official Man City YouTube Channel: This is the official place to gets videos from Manchester City, including all Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup goals, highlights, behind-the-scenes footage, training, skills, challenges and much more!
