[diriven]

Was living in NZ for the past 6 months down Dominion Rd.

Back in Canada now, but this song makes me think of some good times I had down there.

[bav854]

[corrannz]

Great song, great band! I used to live half way down dominion road in the late '90's and this song brings back lots of good memories!

[beatlejuicer]

Never lived there but have visited. But boy feel the connection. Awsome song

[blairomatic]

Been so long away from Auckland I'd be hopeless trying to drive around now.

However, if I somehow got onto Dominion Road I'd be right!

[0zmeath]

He this IS a better clip than the UK version. But of course

[Beemerboy324]

From the US - These guys are really good! My wife's a Kiwi and I know from Dominion Road. To bad we didn't get them much here. Thanks for posting this. One of many good songs.

[nerdflanders8710]

Dominion Rd is a junk road.

Its full of curry munchers and ping laus.

[newyorkbiffa]

Don McGlashan = Genius

[lindylou381]

Awsome.............. Kiwianna at its best.....

[immortalcelsius]

3 people find the traffic too much on Dominion Rd...

[JessieJLuvr]

JessieJluvr (:

[69JaneEB]

Thank you so much for uploading this song - I so love it!!!!! Don't suppose you could upload Andy - with a really big please - it is my favorite Frontlawn song and always makes me think of my departed brother

[JessieJLuvr]

@69JaneEB Hey, Just wanted to say sorry about your brother, that's so sad :C

[brucehoult]

Don McGlashan is currently in hospital with three broken ribs, a broken collar bone and a punctured lung after crashing his bicycle into a suddenly opened car door on Dominion Road.

[irene1ization]

@brucehoult Thanks for posting this. Poor guy (I'm a keen rider). It was actually on Valley Road - near Dom. road.

[mymumissostupid]

Every time I pass that Asian duck food place on Dominion Road I feel sick. The smell is so strong. Good song.

[Stuntmanshawnee]

Very cool song. Nice presentation.

[Gabry20002010]

This is both a perfect pop song and a perfect script, someone out there please give Jane Campion the lyrics

[alloyz1212]

Thumbs up for the people who live in DOMINION ROAD!!

[tmendyka]

I felt like Gene Clark the first time I heard this, while he played I Want To Hold Your Hand by The Beatles 25 times....I played this song ALL DAY...

[johnparkimp3]

I drove the big yellow bendys up and down Dom Road for a few years. This song brings back some of those memories. Thanks for the post.

[gutstobeyou]

i like how you can see my grandparents house in the video. epic.

[vajiran]

lived beside the dominion road for 6 months!!!loved it!!!!

[AtheistKiwi]

Just love this!!!

[andreabaer1]

Best thing in life is that nothing is for sure...

[Ilovegoldencrumpets]

so talented - I'm also mystified why they didn't make it big.

[vermont13]

who were the 2 folks who disliked? Have you never heard of great melody and lyrics?

[Az109]

watched Don at Turangawaewae 27 June 2010, He sung Anchour me, Dominion road (the best nz song of all time) , wonderful, fabulous, a joy to see, i mihi mai hoki a ia ki te mininga, tona kaha; ka pai rawa atu bro.

[LoveHimOx]

MY UNCLE IS THE ONE IN THE HAT!!!!!!! ;)

[YoungRasta27]

[TheStonedSlackerNZ]

I walk down dominion road whenever I can

[doj456]

Awesome!!!!

[karolyntimarkos]

LOVE this song - and loved seeing Don McGlashan performing it on the Brooklands Stage at WOMAD 2009. One of the weekend's highlights.

[Pikeysfuture]

hell theres some memories...lived off dominion road when this came out...what a random surprise that this came up in a search...love it

[t3rminat0r2009]

I've got another version of this

[otumoetaipat]

the don

[Houratsu]

This song makes me cry like a little baby.

[putridsneakers]

Glad these guys stayed true and kept the flame burnin' in NZ instead of pissing off to the UK on an OE like all other kiwis.

[customcuts]

A great song...

[SupremeChickenx]

ahh they need to play about karangahape road =)

the most dodgy street in the world WOOHOO

[smartian12]

hardly. krd is the shit!!!

[karexmaster]

Haha, that panther statue is still there

[zaphodbeeblebroxie]

Song = win

We used to hear this song on the radio everyday... when we were halfway down Dominion road 0.o

[siasti]

Coming back to NZ after 7 years in Japan. Running straight to the nearest fish & chip shop...

[SamEEE12]

I would suggest a trip to the Mangonui fish shop ;)

[Houratsu]

Sore wa oishii darou. Mattaku.

[nulla38]

mean soundz

[faneflaws]

One of the greatest NZ songs ever - not the original version however - the clip was re-edited around Leon Narby's gorgeous colour footage by Fane Flaws who directed the extra B&W footage - Don wanted to get 'The band ' into the film...

[saradomanic]

good song

[tommyspigeonhole]

I miss buying tofu at Wah-Lee's...

[sheld999]

love this kiwi song

[milissakeen]

"Dominion Road, just goes for miles right through millions of lives"

Great comment

[KiwiSongs]

I love this song! I live in Auckland too. Proud to be a kiwi!

[Thadeusnz]

Don just gets better and better. Went to Seven Sisters on the weekend (his latest band) and they have some awesome tunes. He is an incredible writer. Captures the essence of being kiwi in just about every phrase he writes.

[siasti]

Anyone wanting to check out Dominion Road can "drive" down it using Google Maps. Make sure to look out for that "half way house half way down Dominion Road" lol

[SamEEE12]

That really is a good riff

[blairomatic]

Any Aucklander, or the many Kiwis and other people around the world who have called Auckland home, however briefly, can relate to this song!

I loved and hated it with a passion!

Dominion Road, just goes for miles right through millions of lives.

[siasti]

Very nice drive actually. Nice wide road, which is basically flat. Lined with plenty of shops in places as well as a few parks. It'd be a nice road to live on (but I prefer West Auckland).

[HiphopHeads2]

west auck 4life lol tat nth, massey,avondale the burbs i lived in

love this song any classic nz rock music

[MBXChquer]

Damn right, proud to be a kiwi!!!!

[beretmaster]

Proud to be kiwi!

[Vexxboy]

bit of trivia, one of author Ian Rankin's favourite bands, he name checks them in one of his reubus novels

[siasti]

Can we get a decent video for Blam Blam Blam's Don't Fight It Marsha? (Simply an awesome song)

[ajstorrie]

This tune always plays in the back of my mind when I'm driving down Dominion Road....

[311811015]

Awesome stuff man!

proud to be a kiwi!

[dazza1608]

Never get tired of this song

[arianabanana83]

Currently living in Australia and i listen to this and The Clean when i get home sick. Nice one Mutton Birds.

[siasti]

Heart-warming (especially for an expatriate Kiwi)

[zenboy64]

Aotearoa!

[deptford]

Mutton Birds all day

[jessie647]

Absolutely awesome song! So glad I found it :D

[karlos6thejackal]

legendary song. brilliant lryics

[wainui2]

dank kiwi tune

[Elmsdale55]

The Mutton Birds were one of THE great lost bands. They should have been absolutely huge. Pity. This is one of their very best.

[mikhail1970]

@Elmsdale55

Watching this in Helsinki, agh miss Auck some times big time. Top song

[richiejess]

Does anyone have any ideas about the meaning of this song?

[winteralex]

The way I interpret it is that the song is primarily about the rebuilding of a life after the breakdown of a marrige. However, in this case it's even deeper as it touches on the guy climbing out of depression and coming to terms with living again.

[richiejess]

I see what you mean now... Thanks!

[Jodel27]

I miss New Zealand! this song is so awesome.

[snaggletooth1351]

woo hoo finally this has been posted wot a awsome kiwi song

[Merujo]

I wonder why there had to be a UK version of the video. I dig this one!

[marindabell]

One of the best Kiwi bands and songs that I have heard

[fuktown5137]

w0o0o0o0o0ot! lived thar!

[shizna123]

Great song. Second best Kiwi band after The Exponents.

[dhbc1908]

Just Excellent!!!
