Glass Tiger - My Town

[@1974ADHDer]

I'm Still Searching and My Town are my two favourite Glass Tiger songs, for two different reasons. I'm Nova Scotian, so I'm partial to My Town for obvious reasons. Glass Tiger has always been a great band, and growing up to their music, among others, has been the soundtrack to my youth.

Same my guy

[@nicolegalbraith1620]

I was 5 years old. 1992. The power went out. We ordered pizza because we couldn’t cook. Dad had a battery radio from 1955. I heard this song on am radio and fell in love instantly. At 12 my parents divorced. I was home searching with my dad in Newmarket Ontario. He put in a bid on the house where Glass Tiger did their rehearsing. We looked through the windows and there was music equipment everywhere. We never ended up getting the bid, but it was super cool to come full circle and see the actual history of music!

[@chantalchaput4254]

That's awesome! I can't believe that. I bet you found some cool stuff left behind?

[@danmcdonald8522]

Wow.that sounds like a deep thought with a special connection to a song back in your memories. Music has a strange way of triggering our fondest moments. God bless.

[@JJ-wk5wy]

That is such a cool memory.

[@K2H117]

Wow!

[@dougarmstrong6977]

What a wonderful story! I just placed "My Town" on a work-requested playlist of our team's favorite songs of all-time. Glass Tiger music is STILL speaking to us... over 35 years after they first hit Canadian and US airwaves. This song is "breath". I still connect with GT's best in a very profound way. - Douglas

[@downtown9451]

This song reminds me of my Father. He lived at the baltic see til 2012 and the melody just reminds me of the early 90s beeing at his house, after a long walk at the beach in autumn.. He died this year and we brought him back to his town for his funeral. Now he is near of his former house and near the beach we used to walk on and hopefully find his peace.

this guy's voice is amazing

I’ve been to Nova Scotia, but not yet to Scotia. I was 20 years old when I discovered my paternal roots. My hope is that one day I may hike the highlands of my ancestors. ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@carlcooper5025]

Great band. Fantastic kind hearted group of guys.

[@wderekmahoney]

Growing up in Nova Scotia, Canada I always heard of Glass Tiger and heard their songs on the radio. Never paid much attention to them and thought they were an 80's band trying to hold on to the remaining fame. A few years ago they came and played at an outdoor festival which I attended. Allen Frew introduced this song and talked about the meaning behind it and described how it is only fitting to sing it here in Nova Scotia. I never listened to the lyrics before, but I was blown away. What a performance. Now every time I listen to it I get a little choked up. I am forever a fan now.

[@norativenan1989]

Lovely voice

[@WATP1872LR-G]

He lied! This song is about him leaving Glasgow,

[@truthdr6735]

I'm in bridgewater , nova scotia . Nice to meet a fellow scotian!!

[@soccerjay1974]

I LOVE this Canadian classic. Sometimes, I feel like I'm living in Scotland when I'm living here in Nova Scotia. Obviously,what's missing is that rich Scottish accent, and we drive on the right side of the road instead of the left. But I love listening to this song even though I'm not Scottish, and yet, I'm living in New Scotland (or Nova Scotia in Latin).

[@vandamme6379]

You probably are Scottish by blood.

[@tinacorbet4705]

Nova Scotia rules!!!! " New Scotland"

[@zandohrtv]

❤️

[@daveslater9298]

I agree, the version of this with Rod Stewart is the best I have heard. BTW, here in Saskatchewan we drive on "what's LEFT of the roads".. LOL

[@toddlinton3792]

Am from Elora Ontario Canada. But I am Scottish and this song is shot in Glasgow Scotland. Right beside my family's home..

[@santamara]

Such a great song.! I love Glass Tiger.

[@deanh2730]

Its' 131am on a May 29th 2024 and I just sent a message to my LOVE in life who grew up in Peggy's Cove NS now an RCMP officer for the past 5yrs in Alberta up north....I pray we find each other again not just in our "Town" but forever on this Earth.... Rachel D... is my LOVE!!!

[@tensionsplice147]

Visited Glasgow the other week, would definitely suggest people check out The Old Toll Bar.

[@ThomasClark123]

That is such a beautiful song with so much feeling.

[@sharonbissett3046]

You can take the man out of Scotland but Scotland will always be in the man!! Great the video was shot here! Love this song!

[@maggiemac27]

Absolutely love this band…It always left a pang in my heart as my grandfather was a piper. Great band!!!

[@edsed8972]

Thx Glass Tiger for this song, Thx Canada for Glass Tiger🇨🇦👍

Wunderschöner Song! Damals , heute und in 50 Jahren und mehr!😊

Cape Breton will always be in my heart ❤️ No matter how long you live away, as soon as you get off your flight and take a breath of fresh air your heart feels settled ❤

[@adriannalundasan7570]

I don’t know why but listening to these music is a relief after a long day at work.

[@marcomazzucco7104]

Huge fan - can't believe it's 27 years since release of "My Town" and still sounds fresh like a breeze right from the 80's ;-)

[@kevinheatcoat2190]

This Song is From 1991 But It Sounds Like a 80s Song.

[@marcomazzucco7104]

@@kevinheatcoat2190 right - but isn't it that waht I said? lol

[@liverpool4ever552]

You feel the Pride in this song no matter where you're from and your home town.... Bring the wind to carry me over Lead me home to my town Tell me when that breeze is blowin' Takin' me home to my town When I think of you scotia There's a love that just bleeds in my heart In my childhood days, we went our different ways But you knew that we'd never part Now I'm all alone And your calling me home You knew our love could never die And though my roaming eyes always lead me astray Well I'm coming back home Scotia don't walk away Bring the wind to carry me over Lead me home to my town Tell me when that breeze is blowin' Takin' me home to my town So when I think of you scotia There's a magic that fills the air We're the downtown boys Making all that noise Oh we live like we just don't care So we drank our fill For king and country Yeah til the last soldier fell Berlington Bertie, your in my heart forever I want to drown in the stories you tell Bring the wind to carry me over Lead me home to my town Tell me when that breeze is blowin' Takin' me home to my town Oh to my town You make me owe I can't ever be If I should fall Your love will rescue me Bring the wind to carry me over (carry me over) Lead me home to my town (to my town) Tell me when that breeze is blowin' Takin' me home to my town Oh oh oh oh Carry me over Lead me home to my town (to my town) Tell me when that breeze is blowin' Takin' me home to my town Bring the wind to carry me over Lead me home to my town Tell me when that breeze is blowin' Takin' me home to my town

[@jeffreybarkin3177]

So TRUE! This is SUCH a #Memorial Song that touches our personal longing for Friends and Family, especially when heard when traveling on business. Well written and i#nspiring Too!!!

I get choked up when I hear My Town. Like Allen I left Scotia and landed in Newmarket. We settled across Davis Drive. Once a Scot, always a Scot.❤

[@orboakin8074]

The first time I ever heard this song was back in Nigeria in the 2000s when I was a kid. The radio in my dad's car use to play songs from America and I loved this one🥰👍 I never knew the name or the band but the chorus always stuck with me. Then I discovered it on KZbin. Glass Tiger are amazing!

[@thenextrung]

What a beautiful piece of music

[@oliviaprinsen347]

17 years old and love this song!!!

[@josephbanash4373]

Olivia Prinsen cool, what does age have to do with it?

[@steammaker24]

It was probably said since not many 17 yr olds listen to the 80s music nowadays. I think it's so very awesome that kids these days will listen and end up liking the songs from my youth

[@ofenblase3713]

I´m 53 and proud of you!

[@bababoro8752]

I am 30 year old and I am from a remote place in India. I think Canadian, Australian and New Zealand bands are underrated compared to their US counterparts.

[@ofenblase3713]

Yes it is true what you say. But the majors are from USA.

[@jamesheverling7841]

Great song & video as ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹😂📸😍📸📸📸📸😍 well ❤❤❤❤😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉.!!!!!!!.

[@mattexter]

Absolutely anyone living away from their hometown will feel a tug in their heart strings. Makes me oh so proud to belong there, and makes me want to catch the next train home. Bring the wind to carry me home...

[@jkent6526]

Saw them in Toronto last month. I was very impressed. They sounded great. Night of nostalgia.

[@nedmcfabulous3788]

This should have a billion views.

[@anonymousc9916]

I love this song should be recognized as the best and have to have a billion views they probably don't know about this song

[@MrSAP1988]

I freaking agree with that.

[@Razorzzful]

Yes it should...

[@BritishRail60062]

One of my favourites from this band.

[@martinphilip2619]

I’ve loved this song since I first heard it. What a brilliant group, I wish they would tour in Scotland.

[@ricknesar1627]

Watched Glass Tiger open up for Roxette in, Stockholm, Sweden in 1991. I remember it as pretty effin awesome! And oh yes, I remember this song!

[@danieljo-annangbakasyonist6928]

Im not from scotland or canada but I was introduced to this cassette back early 90s by a highschool friend. Love it right away the whole first album maybe with the songs Someday, and Don't Forget me.. but now im listening to more other songs, I love all of them. I would like to see them come back in concert maybe in Toronto or here in San Diego.

[@PeteyGunn]

how many Army guys overseas broke to tears when they heard this song, I know I did...good times...Pro Patria

[@mdmejia67]

I was a california boy stationed in Kirch Goens Germany 86-88 and Glass Tiger is a time machine band I turn to when in I want to drift back to 1988....if only for a minute.

[@hckyroxs8019]

Lol, loved this song as a kid, just knew it as "the breeze" song and my 8 yr old self would crank it when I came on 😆 Glad to have found it again, even better to find out the meaning behind it.

Bei uns in Deutschland lief damals nur die Version mit Rod Steward. Ich verbinde so viele Erinnerungen mit dem Song.

Great song, great band! Couldn't believe my luck one afternoon when flying home from Toronto to Nova Scotia and they were on the same flight to Halifax. I was literally sandwiched in between the keyboardist and the guitarist...it was a nice sandwich. Very down-to-earth guys. 🙂

[@damionbrundle1162]

Lucky! I was doing some electrical work for Swearnet a couple years ago, and one day they stopped by while I was there. So not only did I get to meet the Trailer Park Boys, I got to meet Glass Tiger as well! Totally unexpected, but such an awesome day. I didn't get to really hang out and interact with them too much, but got a few pics and autographs, and everyone was super nice.

[@keithmccormick860]

Song always made me homesick for Northern Ireland love my home country born and bread in two beautiful countries shaped my character gave me solid values and happiness and a love for nature and culture glad the troubles in 1977 died remember 401,huge cars Elvis had died and new freinds and family and pure culture shock all good 👍
