passionate anthem, one problem on 17:10 - Jun 12 with 3147 views | Highjack | It's because sound doesn't travel very fast so there's a difference between the people in the stands hearing it and the cameras next to the band picking it up, resulting in the apparent delay. | ![](/images/avatars/8982.gif) |

Yep it's because in the stand you are hearing the sound about a second after the music is played, and it takes another second for the singing to get back to the mic on the pitch. So it sounds like the fans are singing about two seconds after the music is played. It's relativity in action. | ![](/images/avatars/8982.gif) |

If that is true why doesn't it affect other anthems. The English fans seem spot on with their timings. So are every other countries fans | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Best guess is most games would have microphones around the ground so it captures all the sound, both in the crowd and in the middle, whilst yesterday the only sound recorded seemed to be from the camera on the pitch. | ![](/images/avatars/8982.gif) |

Yeah, that would be good! Without any music nobody would know when to start or have anything to synchronise to so everyone would do their own thing. Utter chaos. Why do you think bands have drummers? | ![](/images/avatars/9767.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

There shouldn't be any problem with music/singing synchronisation because with a decent sound system and decent speakers at regular intervals around the entire stadium, everyone would hear the music pretty close to simultaneously. The problem is emotional causes the individual singer to speed up and individuals speed up at different rates. An audience clapping along with a live band almost always speed up and sometimes it's shocking. | ![](/images/avatars/9767.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

"Dros ryddid collasant eu gwaed" - just saying, like. Anyway, in response to the OP - the verse was out of time to me (music ahead of crowd) because it was a higher tempo than normal. However, the chorus was slightly better I thought, due to a longer than normal pause before "Gwlad, gwlad", which allowed the crowd to catch up a little. That's my in-depth analysis of the anthem for you. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
