"Young Years" is a song by Australian-New Zealand group Dragon, released in 1989. "Young Years" first charted on April 17, 1989, peaking at No. 18 and remaining on the charts for 16 weeks. "Young Years" is the only song by Dragon to reach the top 20. The song was produced by David Hirschfelder.

Overview

Dragon brothers Marc and Todd Hunter bestride the hills of south east New South Wales in this video for one of their latter hits. The autumnal lyric is a good fit for a band in its later and more reflective years: Marc is celebratory in one of his last videos with the band. Todd — bass against the bush background — is gleeful, and the cow unperturbed. Written by keyboard player Alan Mansfield and his partner, Kiwi singer Sharon O’Neill, ‘Young Years’ gained added poignancy following Marc Hunter’s death in 1998. O’Neill has dedicated her performances of the song to his memory.
