Glass Tiger (Alan Frew) - My Town

[RobinsDynasty]

I've got to say that with this hair style...if it hadn't worked out with Glass Tiger...Alan Frew definitely could have pulled off the lead in a Sammy Hagar bio-pic. Great Song BTW.

[roshg1]

Is it just me or does Alan Frew kinda look like Britney Spears?! lol ... especially his eyes area

[15scottie]

They're not underrated because they were never good in the first place. They're just a so-so band, nothing special. A couple decent hits, but all & all, they're pretty forgetful.

[Eiger6]

3 people hate their town.

[Deeperella]

i hear this song on the radio sometimes and it makes me feel so nostalgic

[TAT2DJAX]

Born in Greenock Scotland, raised in Toronto Canada, I can relate to this song.

My cuz'n Don directed this video n put me Nana n me hoose on Watt St. in the vid.

GOD BLESS u Nana, LOVE n MISS Scotland!!!! :)

[Intercity1251]

@TAT2DJAX Your spot on about Watt St,my mum came from Greenock and i used to visit frequently so i knew bits of this where filmed there but apart from the Esplanade i didn't know this street and have just checked google street veiw and its bang on i wonder if those two old women ever knew they where in a rock video ps McCoist bits brillant as well your cuz did well

[AirRaidCommander]

Beautiful Song!

[MrSteviebaker]

Super nice Song !!!

[theherooftime4]

I never liked this song very much in the 90's. I thought it was kind of cool, but nothing too special. Now I realize it was the themesong of my youth.

[edwardlover88]

great song!

[TheMckawesome]

i know alan frew



[chitchitify]

[hairytaylor]

OMG!! Happiest time of my life!! Thanks for the memories

[CanadianSteve4444]

song is so much better than the american song of my town

[EverythingOtaku92]

I love the old guy dancing around 2:20-ish. He just looks so happy.

[wooglin1968]

Aye. Coatbridge boy!

[amelialoggie]

Geezz, they were hotties ehh?:)

[trendygirl2001]

I left Scotland for 14 years and listened to a lot of guff about missing "home" - but no song +captured being Glaswegian as this one did. And "Don't Forget Me (When I;m Gone" is the best song I ever heard circa 85-86 :-)

[Larkyeejit]

Class

[Jennyfromthevillage]

Love this song. It is amazing!! Almost as amazing as the maritimes.

[TAT2DJAX]

[TartanBear]

Love this track. As an Ex Pat Highlander, always makes me think of back home after being away last 20 years! Great stuff!

[cujo9]

a class tune. love this

[big6hitter]

had this chorus stuck in my head all day and couldn't for the life of me find the song. finally found it and can rest in peace. brings back some happy memories. so much better without Rod

[rearden13]

Was this version (without Rod Steward) ever officially released?

To me, ol' Rod ruins the song. I'd love to find a high quality mp3 of the song as it is in this video. If anyone knows where I can track it down, let me know. thx

[lynnshell78]

classic this is canada song

[codyjarrett39]

- my Favourite song by Glass Tiger- what a Fantastic & Beautiful Song- i love it

[dreamscreenpictures]

what a great song!!!

sorry for my bad english writing, i´m austrian: i saw them as a supporting act of the swedish band Roxette when they played in Innsbruck/Austria in October 1991 !!! i have never heard any song of them before but this one is kept in my mind and ears forever, thanks a lot for this great song!!!

[eternaldarkness7]

I got to preform with the bad back in 2006 or 2007 in Markham. Me and my bagpipe band where the opening act for them (more like a intro) we came in played a song and started playing the guitar lyrics to thin red line then the band came in. Alan and the band are so great and down to earth

[wolfshead13]

Saw him tonight at Casino Rama and he did this My Towm. First time I heard it in over 10 years and it was like going back in time, what a wonderful trip to take. A pure class act too, he actually looked humble and embaressed at the applause.

[stefansmom]

saw alan frew live at the nova scotia casino in halifax about a month ago... omg sooo incredible and intimate setting was perfect for seeing him and actually talking to him and meeting him afterwards.. he's soo down to earth and easy to talk to.. I bought his book and was getting him to sign it.. and I called him Mr Frew out of respect.. and well he looked at me and smiled and told me to call him alan. my bf and alan both had a chuckle at me for me trying to be polite*LOL*:)

[Manitu1971]

it's better together with Rod Stewart

[ckendall67]

Agreed; any chance you can post the version with Rod Stewart??:-)

[tarbert4]

What a great song from a great era, aaahhhhh Memories!!!!!!!!!!!

[klspate]

Alan does not look like this anymore... 20 years older, however he sounds just as good as he did 20 years ago

[IainB1511]

The Ex Scots pats unofficial anthem. This brings a tear to the een of many a Scot who has left for foreign shores. Scotia you made me all I can be.....

Rod Stewart's vocals are awesome accompaniment to this track. Classic when Music was Music.. gone forever are days of reality etched in song.

[cheffy84]

TORONTO FC !!! (TFC)

[guitarpunk1984]

I had a beer with these guys when they came to Peterborough, Ontario... and played the Festival of Lights in July!

[timmy8110]

His version of the story:

"we were in L.A. recording and all the singers they had in for this duet weren't gelling with my voice. so i went across the street to the tim horton's and had a beer. when i came back out i saw this street person, with a big scruffy beard and leather gloves with no fingers on them and a sign that said 'Will Sing For Food'. So I thought to myself 'hey, why not let him try?' so I went over to him and i said 'Rod...'

[maritimerinDC]

Thanks for posting this! I'm from Nova Scotia, living in Maryland and pretty much feel the same way....

[jimsybeattie]

Hopefully you will get a chance, I have seen GT once live in Burlington, Ont at the sounds of music festival they were brilliant. Then I seen Alan Frew at the Shilling and Stout pub Burlington doing a solo acoustic gig for a charity, super nice guy and so genuine.

Are you sure it's 1991? 'Cause it almost sounds like 1980's to me.

[clarkkent1772]

It is 1991 look it up on wiki ;)

[METu8]

Climie Fisher - Rise to the occasion (hip-hop remix) a black and white clip, and there's a color clip. Why there's a color clip to rise to the occasion for the black and white. How about Glass Tiger - My Town, a black and white clip, there's MUST be a COLOR clip same as clime fisher - rise to the occasion!~ Can anyone Tell me why????

[mainframedino]

This video was always in Black and White. I think it fits the song better.

[METu8]

Do you have color copy of this clip? Yes, it would be beautiful with color. The record company sure have the version of color clip- my town by alan frew.

[jadekoolkat]

Rod Stewart's singing maskes this song a classic
