The song reached number 19 on the New Zealand charts[1] and has since become a cult song for the nation. BackgroundDobbyn wrote the song in Sydney, with the opening harmonic progression coming about from playing with a newly bought guitar. He co-produced the single, and in retrospect is not entirely happy with the result, preferring live versions such as that from the Live tour with Bic Runga and Tim Finn.[2] Music videoThe music video for Loyal was directed by Kerry Brown and is a one-shot video of Dobbyn and a woman moving out of a house.[3] It was met with mixed reception[2] and there is some argument about the appropriateness of the imagery for the song.[3] Dobbyn's patterned jersey also received some derision.[4] LegacyIn 2001, Loyal was voted the 3rd best New Zealand song of the 20th century by APRA, and featured on the related Nature's Best CD. It was also included on the live album Live, which was performed with Bic Runga and Tim Finn. It was used in 2002 as the official song for the defending New Zealand team in the 2003 America's Cup yachting competition.[5] There was some public unhappiness about the song's association with the campaign (especially given the team's subsequent loss).[3] However, in 2006, voters in an online survey of 3000 voted it NZ's best song.[6] Dobbyn has noted the adoption of "Loyal" into the wider New Zealand psyche: {{Quotation | It's now got a life of its own. I never knew what that meant - [fellow New Zealand musician] Neil Finn is always on about songs becoming everybody else's - and I never really felt that until that song. | Dave Dobbyn | The New Zealand Herald, 2001 [2]}}References1. ^{{cite web|title=Loyal: Chart Behaviour|url=http://charts.org.nz/showitem.asp?interpret=Dave+Dobbyn&titel=Loyal&cat=s|work=Archive|publisher=Charts.org.nz|accessdate=4 October 2012}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite news|title=The National Anthems|url=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/music/news/article.cfm?c_id=264&objectid=226415|accessdate=3 October 2012|newspaper=The New Zealand Herald|date=3 November 2001}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=Loyal—Dave Dobbyn|url=http://www.nzonscreen.com/title/loyal-1988|work=www.nzonscreen.com|accessdate=22 September 2012}} 4. ^{{cite web|last=Sweetman|first=Simon|title=NZ's Worst Albums|url=http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/blogs/blog-on-the-tracks/6943480/NZs-worst-album-covers|publisher=Stuff.co.nz|accessdate=7 October 2012}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Dave Dobbyn and Loyal|url=http://www.nzhistory.net.nz/media/video/dave-dobbyn-and-loyal|publisher=Ministry for Culture and Heritage|work=www.nzhistory.net.nz|accessdate=22 September 2012}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Nature's Best|url=http://www.nzhistory.net.nz/culture/music-month/natures-best|work=www.nzhistory.net.nz |publisher=Ministry for Culture and Heritage|accessdate=22 September 2012}} External links
