  • A great video,this is so nice,it made me cry,I love that feeling somtimes,memouries live on inside us untill we die.I feel all choked up.Please don't hate James Reyne though,he is a good man who probably did'nt realise his voice would over power the weed heads.Look dragon are mouth breathers compared to noble beautiful refined James Reyne,''oh sorry to reyne on your dragon parade!

  • One of my favourites!

  • Saw Marc Hunter & Dragon, live, a couple of months before Marc died. I'd just met the man I ended up marrying. This is OUR song. Not very romantic, but it's the first song we danced to. Thanks for posting this vid.

  • I saw Dragon many times. Now I recon this is a national anthem in pubs. Everyone knows the words.

  • What a song!!! :)))))

  • wow i heard this song on singstar and i never realised that they were new zealand

  • I've never heard of Dragon before (and I am 40), but than I saw the movie "The Ferryman" (2007) where they played it. I was electrified LOL. In Europe this band is totally unknown. I couldn't even load this video from youtube in fucking Germany (not available in you country!), had to use a VPN-service. Assholes. This band is great. I hope to find some songs of them in mp3 on the internet. Cheers!

  • Love it

  • The Rolling Stones of the Southern Hemisphere....!!!!

  • @julesian Not quite the stones...Dragon had more complex harmonies.

    both would deliver 100% live

  • @martindemo

    yeah, not quite to be sure...but the swagger and mischief is similar...and Marc had a great voice. cheers

  • i love this song when im wasted.

  • sounds like missbananaindapuss is suffering from inferiority complex

  • Bass Player And Lead Singer Are My Second Cousins

  • Does anyone else reckon the guitarist has an uncanny resemblance to Queen's guitarist Brian May?

  • Bring's backs memory's what great song!

  • New Zealand Band?

    they might be from New Zealand, but they were living in Sydney, Australia when this was recorded and that's the mighty Terry Chambers from Swindon, England on drums.
