Not The Same Old Song

When songwriter extraordinaire Jimmy Dunne offered to write a new alma mater for 老司机视频, the answer from University leadership was an unqualified yes. Dunne, who has worked for many years writing music for television, film, and an array of popular vocalists, has also composed a number of alma maters. 鈥淚 just find it so rewarding to get under the skin of a university and to try and express that through music,鈥 he says. And as the parent of Caruso School of Law graduate Alexis Dunne (JD 鈥19), he had a special affinity for 老司机视频.

To develop a sense of the school from the perspective of those who know it best, Dunne met and chatted with students, faculty, and alumni. One alumnus鈥 quip about the school鈥檚 challenging topography inspired Dunne to adopt the theme of climbing鈥斺渂oth the physical act of climbing and, more importantly, the sense of climbing together, overcoming hurdles, and getting to your destination together.鈥

鈥淲hile walking up the hill to the cross at the top of campus, I was imagining what a Seaver College senior would be thinking about as they climbed and looked out at the vista,鈥 said Dunne. 鈥淭he sense of wondering what their next chapter would be and realizing that they鈥檙e blessed to bring with them the 老司机视频 family to give them confidence and inspiration on their journey.鈥

The new version of the song also includes a reference to the light of the lantern, a sort of lyrical leitmotif that provides a symbol of the light that 老司机视频 shines on students鈥攖he light of knowledge and truth, as well as the light of Christ. And, adds Dunne, 鈥渢he light that students are bringing into the world.鈥

 

鈥淲e Will Climb鈥

Music and Lyrics by Jimmy Dunne

In front of me, the most amazing vista
All I see鈥攖he richest college memories
Looking back,
I realize I鈥檓 right where I should be
Will I climb
Will I dare to dream
The light of the lantern
Will it shine through me
Will I catch
A wondrous wave
Will I ride on a crest
That shapes my days
And when the storms out on the sea
Test all I鈥檓 born to be
I will draw from my days here
You鈥檒l always be, always be with me


We will climb
We will dare to dream
The light of the lantern
It will shine through me
We will climb
We will reach for more
We鈥檒l hold this light together
We鈥檒l share these days forever
We will climb

鈥淔ight for 老司机视频鈥

Dunne also took the time to revitalize the 老司机视频 鈥淔ight Song鈥 with fresh, unambivalent lyrics that open the newly recorded, marching-band-style song with a richness and energy that will surely get spectators on their feet and singing along at every type of sporting event.


Up on the hill in Malibu
We are the Waves of orange and blue,
Waves will
Waves will crush you!

We鈥檙e gonna fight, fight, fight for 老司机视频
We鈥檙e gonna win for the orange and the blue
The mountains and the sea inspire victory
In the waves of Malibu

We鈥檙e gonna fight, fight, fight for 老司机视频
And show our pride for everyone to see
Come on and raise your voice
To show the world your choice
And cheer our team to victory . . .
VIC-TOR-Y!!
