The Football Federation of Australia, Australia’s national soccer organisation, launched the Hyundai A-League 2007-2008 season with a TV ad with the tagline, 90 minutes, 90 emotions. To the sounds of the Unkle/Ian Brown track Reign, soccer players battle for control of the game in a large stadium. The fans in the crowd flow with the game, many turning to water when a red card is given to their favourite player. See the launch ad online at fantasy football site Four Four Two.

Lyrics for Reign
(Unkle/Ian Brown)
I am the lightning, I am the heat
I am the rain.. rain, oh rain, oh rain, all day
I am the rain..
I’m gonna reign this way again
I am the rain..
I am the spy, before the blade
I am the raindrop out I see
I cause the ripples that become the crashing waves..
I am the rain.. rain, oh rain, oh rain, all day
I am the rain..
[x2]
You thought a different day had come
A day you thought the Earth was done
And if you could have said it all
I know you would have said it all
I am the rain..
I’m gonna reign this way again
I am the rain.. rain, oh rain, oh rain, all day
You thought a different day had come
A day you thought the Earth was done
I am the rain..
And if you could have said it all
I know you would have said it all
I am the rain..
