Overview
NZOn Screen said, "Marc is celebratory in one of his last videos with the band. Todd — bass against the bush background — is gleeful. 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.[1]
