    What an absolute kiwi classic. I can't help but sing it whenever I'm driving down Dominion Road. Even my ten year old nephew always enthusiastically belts it out whenever it comes on the radio. A timeless classic, a kiwi tune to be proud of.

    When this came out we all knew the bar had been raised. I remember the first gig at the old Boardwalk Bar on K Rd and Don walking around the audience beforehand and getting onto the stage directly from the floor. We played there a few weeks later and did the same thing. Suddenly songs about being a Kiwi living in Auckland were not only OK, but desirable. Plus, the band was super tight and not aping the latest NME fashion. Great role models.

    I’m a kiwi living in Germany. But I lived just off dominion road when I was a young apprentice. Some of my fondest memories we’re walking home down dominion road and grabbing a feed and another box after a blues game with my mates. The nostalgia hits hard with this one. I’ll have to go back when I’m next home ❤️

    Dominion Road is bending
    Under its own weight
    Shining like a strip
    Cut from a sheet metal plate
    'Cause it's just been raining
    Jane even reached the point where she knew
    What he meant before he opened his mouth
    He couldn't say the same
    Or he'd have guessed she was moving south
    With one of his friends
    But he's getting better now
    He found it in him to forgive
    He walked the city
    And he found a place to live
    In a halfway house
    Halfway down Dominion Road
    And he watched Jane's brother sell the house -
    He felt no sense of loss
    More like a mountain climber
    Looking back having made it across
    The steepest phase
    Oh, but he's still climbing
    See him trying to cross the street
    He tests his footing
    Like he was up ten thousand feet
    Above the the clouds
    Halfway down Dominion Road
    But he's getting better now
    He rests his head on the window sill
    He watches the city
    See the antennas in the hills
    From a halfway house
    Halfway down Dominion Road
    Halfway Down
    Halfway Down
    Halfway Down Dominion Road
    Halfway Down
    Halfway Down
    Halfway Down Dominion Road

    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.

    • @onylra6265
      @onylra6265 2 года назад

      I think it's largely metaphorical. NZ in the early 90s was circling the drain with 12% unemployment - a lot of people were backsliding. The thing with Dominion rd in those days is that there very much was a 'halfway down' where greater Mt Eden (kinda nice) changed to greater Mt Roskill (kinda dystopian). The central city wasn't that fancy then, it was full of uni students, musicians, artists, and other Bohemian types - it had a real vibe; clubs, restaurants, boutiques, parks, novel shops (records.antiques/comics, etc), light industry ... But the western half Dominion rd? It's like somebody turned off the lights, shit was downright spooky after dark.
      So, ideally nobody wants to live in a crummy old house somewhere between Valley and Mt Albert rd, but if you step out of the door of an evening and turn east you could walk 20-30 minutes down to the Kings Arms and catch a Muttonbirds gig, and there's nothing for anyone out west, except maybe a mugging or some drugs. It's all bygone now.

    I had a connection to Dominion Road way back, but never realised it until a few years ago.
    My aunt & uncle had a dairy for a few years and I recall staying there as a small child. I don't remember much, aside from nicking a few lollies, ending up constipated on a horrible unfinished toilet, and while being stuck in there for what seemed like hours, stabbing the raw plasterboard walls with a stanley knife in my boredom ... probably a metaphor in there about me not being able to crap.
    Anywho, it wasn't until as a nearly pensionable adult I took up diving into ancestry, and discovered my uncle's dairy was on Dominion Road - not halfway down but more like halfway down towards halfway down, but I'll take that as close enough.
    What was then a dairy is now a restaurant ... and I've promised myself I'll eat there one day, and I'll likely need a toilet break, but this time I'll forgo the stanley knife.

    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!

    Heheh The first time I saw this McGlashan character perform was on a trip back home when I went up the gluey cos the girl I's interested in had somethin to do with the band Blam Blam Blam they were called, named after the time when ronnie raygun & co got shot blam blam blam. He was the drummer all I can remember of him was his trick of doing a k moon flick the sticks round yer finger. Didn't score the girl that night but thought band were good. Last time I was in kiwiland there actually was a N.A. joint down a street about halfway down dominion rd. I've actually wondered since (that was nearly 30 years ago) if that was the joint mutton birds were singin about. Those were the days eh kickin' round the world gettin out of it every night u felt like it and nothin seemed to ever end. Of course it eventually did. We gotta remember for young un's today that they hafta learn this themselves, they don't need old idjits tellin em.

    These boys always had the coolest jingly jangly guitars, LOVE the Rickenbacker Bass, and have lusted after David's White Vox (not seen here) forever. Wonder if anyone will ever write a catchy song about my street - Sandringham Rd it's nearly just as long and straight !!
