I was born in Scotland and went for a job interview recently....... This song came on just before I arrived at the company's office........i belted it out and walked in 12 ft tall. I start in January ❤️
Is there anything that doesn't make this song perfect? Great musicians, excellent background singers, incredible bagpipe player, unique song and a John Farnham who sings this song with his heart and soul. The icing on the cake is the vocal audience. It can't be better. This is the song of all decades!
I like this more: th-cam.com/video/X-TPRdzHZDU/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Gary86 actual one is too... mechanic seems, missing drive. Generaly thats problem of most orchestras... they are great in reading notes, but missing drive in most of cases...Played in one, in few European countries.
This song changed My life my grandma would tell you that I sang before I actually spoke due to horrible trauma as a child this track gave me back my voice thank you
@LeeH864 oh yeah definatly, ! This song's amazin' I'm tellin' you I have a CD now of john farnham whispering jack now, I listen to it everyday, and his other songs are amazin' too! Like, "age of reason" "Help" (which is emotoinal) and yeah , just amazin'
John Farham's family confirms iconic Australian singer is now 'cancer free' and back to singing and dancing 'at home' after a marathon cancer of mouth operation mid year 2023.
Amazing thanks for this info , I can’t help thinking what an even bigger mega star John would have been if he had been a Brit/ American. The Aussies are so lucky to have such a gifted and iconic musician to call their own .
if you read his biography you will find out that he is is a British,born in England on 1st July 1949 and moved to Australia in 1959 when he was 10 years old. The place where he was born is few miles away from where I live. Just check his profile on Wikipedia.🤓
This is my sanity song, played as loud as possible as often as possible after my wife died 10 years ago. Still works today! The best choice for a World Anthem
I was there in '88. I just close my eyes and listen to this and I'm transported back to a wonderful era. The 80s was such an incredible era for music, John and everyone in general. Oh God how I miss those times!!
John is a showman, he loves performing, hie loves his audiences and his fans, and you can see he loves having them join in with his songs - "it's party time, so let's all party tigether". And the members of the professional orchestras who sometimes play with him just all have a ball. And that voice - what a gift to share with the world. 25.9.23. UK. E❤
I'm an extremely proud WELSHMAN, but I wish this song, would be made the national anthem of Australia, it's bringing tears to my eyes, as I'm listening to it,, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING SONG, SUNG BY AN AMAZING SINGER.
Not just an anthem, not just a protest song - it's a rallying call to the entire world - stop the destruction, be non- confrontational, don't start stupid meaningless wars, learn to live as global citizens in a global world, co-operate with each other make the world a better place for everyone! 28 9.23. UK. E❤
The question then becomes, what should be the response when someone starts a stupid meaningless war? Like... Putin's invasion of Ukraine. There are many looking at each other down the barrel of a gun there. But Ukrainians are defending their homeland. Should they not be doing that? Should Palestinians not be defending themselves from continuing Israeli occupation?
I hope John Farnham reads all these comments. I"m commenting again just because I watched it again and I do when I'm down. Just as said below. One of THE most iconic performances ever. Thanks for posting this.
🎸2025, John with the power to be powerful,still sounds incredible.released September’86,was awarded the 1987 ARIA award for’Single of the Year’.God bless you John Farnham you’ll always be the Voice.

The bag pipes has to be the best bit then the salute just tops it all of.. outstanding!! What a performance! Hard to believe that 30 years have passed since it's release.
He underwent a lot of voice training after the "pop idol" years in the 60/70's to compliment the increased sophistication of material written for him. This quite is apparent.
@@michellebostock4276 It was well reported in the media and stated by himself on numerous occasions towards the end of his unarguably bleak LRB front man days. He is very intelligent he knew what he had to do. And he has with some aplomb.
One SIR TOM JONES, STARTED BACK IN 66 I THINK COULD BE WRONG STILL GOING STRONG IN HIS 80S, ONE OF THE GREATEST EVER, NOT BAD FOR A TAFF FROM THE VALLEYS. PEACE BE WITH YOU MY FRIEND. 🙏 😎😎😎✌✌✌🏴🏴🏴
Yes. Freddie Mercury level of audience control. You cannot get any better than that. Great. He is for sure under the Top 5 audience control singers ever.
We saw this at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre. I still remember the bagpipe player on stage. Truly amazing. We should live by this: "I am the voice." Put an end to tyranny and human suffering
I saw him twice at The Brisbane Entertainment Centre (when 'Whispering Jack' was released) and both concerts were EPIC. What an incredible talent and really nice bloke. ❤
John Farnham's Best Friend, and Manager died, suddenly yesterday. Glenn Wheatley, orininally from band "Masrter's Apprenitices"Bass Player. Glenn's passing has shocked us all, esp J Farnham.
One of the best live performances ever! His powerful voice and showmanship is brilliant. What a superstar he was, he should have won Grammys and any other world recognised awards. He's a legend. God Bless Him 🙏❤️❤️❤️
2021.....March 26.....from London on my lunch break! We need to sing this song during this Covid-19 saga just to encourage us again that we, the people need to be heard. Thanks for this beautiful song.
Played on Saturday at the World Freedom Rally in Trafalgar Square. Were you there? Together we are strong. More need to join us so this tyranny can be overthrown once and for all...
I actually cried when I found out he won the election. That's what happens when you have a country full of uneducated people because education is way too expensive. 😢
Thank you for this. Itss is my wake- me- up video every morning. Followed by Long Way to the Top. What better way to start the day! And his band and backing singers - amazing talent. And all rounded off with the MSO. Perfection. Happy Christmas to John, his family, and friends, and all fans everywhere. 5.12.23. UK. E❤

Congrats John and I hope your current medical challenges are overcome soon. This guy is a national treasure and should be recognised as such.
You're the voice, he's the voice, she's the voice, we're ALL the voice and John Farnham is DEFINITELY the voice!! 🤩INCREDIBLE singing, sir! And I ❤the bagpipes! 😀

This guy has what I call a "Freddie Mercury level of live audience control". You cannot get any better than that. Great. He is for sure under the Top 5 audience control singers ever (being Freddie NUMBER 1, of course).
I'll vouch for that ! I have been going to John Farnham concerts since he was Johnny Farnham and I was 13 years old. I've just turned 64. You could say I'm a bit of a fan ! 😉 LOVE THIS MAN ❤
Speaking of Freddy - check out JF's version of We Will Rock You recorded with Queen, He was the first one they offered the gig to, but he didn't want to do a gruelling tour schedule. They made a few interesting changes from the original version. th-cam.com/video/vP6O5hCN1M8/w-d-xo.html
This is so special, John is one of a kind, cool and humble, a master of live entertainment. He has been around a long time and is still highly regarded even elsewhere in the world. Huge respect for this man, he earned it !
'You're the voice' is living proof that there comes a time when a song ceases to exist as music… and becomes art. I have survived 5 heart attacks and am on medication to keep my heart going. I've had an angioplasty, got a stent and was on many machines. But why have they never linked me to 'You're the voice'? That would have been good for my heart!
After 16 years, I hope to feel the same as you. I cannot stop listening to this song whenever I feel down. It lifts me up and brings back the faith I never knew existed in me! The crowd's energy makes me feel wanted even though I don't know anybody there & will probably never meet them. Goosebumps for me too!! :]
There are always iconic moments at any concert, George Michael bringing on Elton John, Queens performance at Live Aid In 85, Phil Collins live version of In The Air Tonight, the way John introduced the piper and his performance, followed by the roar from the audience shows this will always be one of them, fantastic 🇬🇧
I visited Australia in 2002. I ended up in a little house in a holidaypark in Bachus Marsch. Noting to do in the evening, so I turned on the TV. John was on and blow me away with this song. Sing every word to this day when I hear it. Good to read he is doing well.
I am a seventy nine year old, now living, if you can call it such, in 2024, a time that i look at with real tears in my eyes at the fact that we have crusified ourselves at others behest, not our own. We have a chance,i think its the last chance, to stop and listen. The fact that this song has real power, the power to make us take o look at where we are as a people, the chance the rejioce in who we are and what we are. Listen to the words, they really have meaning if you take the time to stop and do that, listen,.we do have the chance to do just that, we do have the chance to put back into life all that is important, we DO have tge chance the write history in a plain and honest way, for the benifit of ALL MANKIND. I do not know who wrote this song but the words tell onlythe truth and do so in the most powerful way any could think of. For me faith is important, but i look at this as a mistake, we seem to have lost the ability to listen and think for ourselve, religion is about right and wrong, and in our hearts we all know whats really right and wrong, and i take the chance to chastise religion for side tracking reality for creating devision were that was the last thing it was ment to be. To me, this song should be world athem, we should all learn the words and wake up to their meaning. There arecfew songs with such a powerful meaningful, i would ask everyone to stop and listen, really listen, at the same time listen to the power of the musi music itself.
Who's here in 2025 thinking the world needs this song more than ever?
My theme song for 2025.
That true I'm with you all way 👍👍👍👍

Can't stop watching this. Love the way the bagpiper and Farnham salute each other. Shivers down my spine.
That's the old bagpipe salute of a freind! Excellently done in this piece.
Who was the piper ??
That's one hot piper! - So proud of John Farnham and a generations anthem You're the Voice ❤
One of THE great power ballads of all time and man what a singing voice!
Will never be another like him.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Should be played everywhere - every shopping mall - every school - every subway... Never gets old.

Still gives me goosebumps after all these years. Farhnam is one of the finest vocalists ever ❤
That man was in complete control of everyone in that arena. Tossing and catching the mic stand like a baton...100% command of entertainment.
He’s so amazing on stage live. His concerts are epic and everyone loves him and his music and sings along.
Yes! And completely without “fancy “ American choreography...
Yes. Freddie Mercury level of audience control. You cannot get any better than that. Great. He is for sure under the Top 5 audience control singers ever.

Loved the reaction from the crowd when the bagpipes were played. One of my favourite musical instruments.

An Aussie Icon John Farnham, look up his other songs on You tube, Start with Help (a Beatles cover) you won't be disappointed :)
Every Aussie knows the words to this song.
A total spiritual liberation. One of the most inspirational and motivational song ever
Siiiiiiiiiii
❤❤❤❤❤
Agreed! And those counter harmonies of in the final chorus lift it even higher
I love this song. My favourite part though, as a Scot, is the Bagpipes. He was brilliant.
This is so special, John is one of a kind, cool and humble, a master of live entertainment. He has been around a long time and is still highly regarded even elsewhere in the world. Huge respect for this man, he earned it !
This song would make the perfect anthem for all women around the world, particularly in America, with what's happening over there at the moment.
The bag pipes has to be the best bit then the salute just tops it all of.. outstanding!!
off
I thought it all was pretty fucking good. But yeah i really loved that interaction
This performance is beyond EPIC.
focking right mate!
🙌🙇🙇🙇🙇🙌🙇🙇🙇🙇🙌🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇 God
Legendary, Iconic, Badass!
Still one of the best .. I hope you know that John. We love you and miss you, and wish you a great journey...🇦🇺❤️💛💚
The OH&S people need to have a word with John.... Throwing the mic stand around like that 🤣🤣🤣 The Man, The Song.... Legendary 👍
'You're the voice' is living proof that there comes a time when a song ceases to exist as music… and becomes art. I have survived 5 heart attacks and am on medication to keep my heart going. I've had an angioplasty, got a stent and was on many machines. But why have they never linked me to 'You're the voice'? That would have been good for my heart!
hawthron berry poweder heals heart muscles, its the only thing that does, stop taking other medications before using
This gives me chills. Saw him live when I was 14. I'm now early 40's. Everytime I hear John sing, it is magic! Goose bumps!
After 16 years, I hope to feel the same as you. I cannot stop listening to this song whenever I feel down. It lifts me up and brings back the faith I never knew existed in me! The crowd's energy makes me feel wanted even though I don't know anybody there & will probably never meet them. Goosebumps for me too!! :]
Oopsie on the math. 26 yrs will still work on me, I'm sure of it!
What a performance! Hard to believe that 30 years have passed since its release.
timeless
Bill Brimmer That great & Vert Nice!...
Bill Brimmer not sure how to reply just trying
*its
1980's Energy, 30 years later
This song holds true more than ever in these trying times. Completely and utterly timeless .🇨🇦👍
I do like it when the crowd cheer when the bagpipes come on brilliant
There are always iconic moments at any concert, George Michael bringing on Elton John, Queens performance at Live Aid In 85, Phil Collins live version of In The Air Tonight, the way John introduced the piper and his performance, followed by the roar from the audience shows this will always be one of them, fantastic 🇬🇧
I am from México, and when I was learning this beautiful language, this song was my inspiration!
I’m here thinking just that and how perfect John sings it x
Gosh, why do so many songs sound so much greater when they're played live? This one is definitely one of those. What an incredible performance!
Australian rock at its finest!
Muita saudade fez parte da minha juventude sem palavras .da pra ficar o dia todo só ouvindo .Não se faz mais esse tipo de música q pena .19/09/2024
You hold it together, singing alone.. Chest out... Pride blossoming.. Then the Scottish bagpipes kick in... The tears start flowing. ❤
As crowd participation goes, this will never be bettered. What a song,,, you can only imagine what the atmosphere must have been like.
watch help live john farnham. Or even watch Bryan Adams Heaven live. two of the very best fan singing
dont have to imagine, I've been to his concerts many times, and they NEVER get old!!
This should be a worldwide national song for every ppl of the world..to give strength in the sadest time in live only to give hope,faith n LOVE ❤❤❤❤
I visited Australia in 2002. I ended up in a little house in a holidaypark in Bachus Marsch. Noting to do in the evening, so I turned on the TV. John was on and blow me away with this song. Sing every word to this day when I hear it. Good to read he is doing well.
Hope you are well and had a lovely time in Oz.
Gibt auch in 100 Jahren noch Gänsehaut. Danke für diesen Kultsong John🎉
YES,. Amazing unity....YES,
from an island... Australia.!
한국에서 2023년에 처음 들어본 곡...멜로디도 가창력도 엄청나다..무한 반복 듣는 중ㅋㅋ백파이프 포스 대박이다 마지막 경례하고 웃으며 받아주는 가수도 너무 멋있다 ㄷ ㄷ 저 가수는 무대하면서 얼마나 행복할까
One of the best songs ever!
I am a seventy nine year old, now living, if you can call it such, in 2024, a time that i look at with real tears in my eyes at the fact that we have crusified ourselves at others behest, not our own.
We have a chance,i think its the last chance, to stop and listen.
The fact that this song has real power, the power to make us take o look at where we are as a people, the chance the rejioce in who we are and what we are.
Listen to the words, they really have meaning if you take the time to stop and do that, listen,.we do have the chance to do just that, we do have the chance to put back into life all that is important, we DO have tge chance the write history in a plain and honest way, for the benifit of ALL MANKIND.
I do not know who wrote this song but the words tell onlythe truth and do so in the most powerful way any could think of.
For me faith is important, but i look at this as a mistake, we seem to have lost the ability to listen and think for ourselve, religion is about right and wrong, and in our hearts we all know whats really right and wrong, and i take the chance to chastise religion for side tracking reality for creating devision were
that was the last thing it was ment to be.
To me, this song should be world athem, we should all learn the words and wake up to their meaning.
There arecfew songs with such a powerful meaningful, i would ask everyone to stop and listen, really listen, at the same time listen to the power of the musi music itself.
