yep have decided that this is going to be the song I walk down the aisle to on the 26th of Oct in Bali. We are both Kiwis and this would be perfect a little slice of home xxxx thanks Dave
On the piss with my Aunt & unx singin to his tune drinking from flagons back in 1986 when petrol was under a dollar...good times, cheers Dave & thanks for the memorie's.
As two Kiwis living and getting married in Australia, this song was perfect for our wedding - not only sweet and romantic but also a reminder of home - thanks Dave for adding a Kiwi touch to our special day! Still makes me feel quite teary when I hear it ...
My groove is John Coltrain, Charlie Parker, free jazz grooves of the highest order, and I come back to this and I tear up. Brings me back to where the ground is
How fantastic is this song!! I was a young lad back home when this song came out and i have all ways loved it.I can remember seeing Dave Dobbyn perform with Margerett Urlich along with his hot band in Invercargill some years ago and was so blown away with their performance.So much talent in N.Z. Thanks Dave, thanks for the memories.
@fatShowPony dont forget our other musicians that are doing good like katchafire kora brooke fraser haley westenra scribe p money savage all those dudes
Hey, coincidence - so did I! Being two Kiwis living in Australia we wanted something that reminded us of home but also was all about love - Dave's lyrics fit perfectly!!!
If you are in Sydney there is a cd/dvd store on the same block as mcdonalds near town hall station that is selling it for $10 I just bought a copy the other day 17/04/09
My Kiwi mate's marryin' a Japanese bird in two weeks, and I'm gonna play this at their wedding (and hope that I sound even half as good as Dave). This song makes me proud to be a Kiwi and, frankly, I can't think of a better way of saying "God speed" to the happy couple... Cheers Dave -- a true Kiwi icon!
Gorgeous song - one of my all time favourites! Footroot Flats was my favourite comic strip as a kid and I still have all the books - brings back some happy memories.
Sometimes we're so caught up in being Maori, Pakeha, Samoan, Tongan, etc, that we forget how great it feels to be KIWI. Dave Dobbyn always takes me back to that feeling of how much KIWIz Rule the world from down under. Dave Dobbyn is incomparable!!!
...this guy is totally under-rated!!..this cunts a mean vocalist! and song-writer..fuck american idol...poser pop art crap!!..DAVES A TRUE RAW GENIUS!!

A winning love is hard enough to find
And when you've got it, never leave it behind
Hold on, and give it all you have
When it's given back, you'll be a powerful man
that's so real if you love someone and they give it back, that would make anyone powerful
