My aunt and uncle from Australia gave me this album on a cassette when they visited the Netherlands. JF was not known over here so I think I became his first Dutch fan. Great album and great introduction into Aussie music 😁
Used to call him "Johnny Far-out" at home coz he would always blow us away with his voice. What a blast going down memory lane. The Voice will never die in Australian History.
Rip my sis /cuz. When we were kids,. Trace myself and my sister cilla did a pretty cool dance to this song I loved my solo part ❤️ twisting turning and kicking legs like a ballerina. Great memory to this song Thank you for your entertainment john Fareham. ❤ forever😢 RIP 🙏 trace .
It was great growing up in the 80's listing to the music of John Farnham, and also Bruce Springsteen. John Farnham had that unique voice that sounded *even better, when he sang Live.* Even though his studio recordings and albums where to the highest class of sound mix. John's pretty much pitch perfect. He put Australia back on the worldwide map, in terms of proper musical talent. Great voice ...
Another of Australia's best singers who should've had more success in the UK alongside Tina Arena, Vanessa Amorosi, Human Nature, John Paul Young and Jimmy Barnes.
JOHN FARNHAM A TYPICAL WELSHMAN WITH A TOUCH.OF AUSSIE TALENT A TRUE AUSTRALIAN TREASURE AND LEGEND !!! . YOUR'E THE VOICE : WHO'S LISTENING IN 2024 !!! ...
Man my mum loved John Farnham's songs... she'd always listen to him (she didn't really understand the lyrics being a new Australian), we'd watch It's a Knockout, Hey Hey it's Saturday, and she'd always watch Sale of the Century. Miss those shows...Good times!
It’s a Knockout, that’s the name of the game! That takes me back to Gold Coast holidays in the 80s. Something about the colour of that show, looked very much like the Gold Coast theme parks of the era. Hope your mum is doing well!
Ah not even close. Have you heard The Weekend? Farnham is good, He's not great. Go listen to Don Van Vliet or Jon Andersen. They make Farnham sound like an amateur. Leo Sayer has a better voice.
I'm 54. Before this came out 'Johnny Farnham' as he was known before this was considered a joke. I remember seeing this on tv & thinking, "Hey this is pretty good.' It really is one of the greatest comebacks in Aus TV history.
This song is perfect to play wen people are under pressure. The song always comes me down if I’m under a lot of pressure. So thank u John not only for bringing but to being the singer
Attended the John Farnham documentary movie yesterday. A sad, moving and inspiring documentary of his life (so far) And his mateship with Glen Wheatley. Go and see it. 😢😢🇦🇺🇦🇺
I bought this album in '87 when no one in the USA knew who John was. I have been a fan ever since. If I could sing like anyone, it would be like John Farnham. I saw him with LRB in '85 a few days before I left before USMC boot camp.
In my humble opinion, the best voice ever on a solo male artist. Why this man didn't triumph overseas, apart from You're the Voice, I will never understand.
@@jj-if6it But that was before You're the Voice was released, when it was released along with the album John came back to the UK which was his native county as You're the Voice did incredibly well and performed it on Top of the Pops and considering he was born in Dagenham Essex, he came back to the UK to do a number of concerts, he did two tours in London, the Age of Reason tour in 1988, the Chain Reaction tour in 1991, and he did a show at Shepherd's Bush Empire in 1998. He also performed in front of Charles and Diana at the Prince's trust rock gala in Birmingham in 1989. He also performed on Age of Reason on Terry Wogan's show in 1988.
He spent years (1982-1985) in the US as lead vocalist of Little River Band and had US #11 (The Other Guy), #22 (We Two) and #35 (You're Driving Me Out Of My Mind) hits with them. They thought Playing To Win would be another, but it peaked at #60. He also had some solo movie soundtrack songs in those years.
This version's a bit different to the track on Whispering Jack. It's kind of refreshing in a way. That album made the childhood of every 70s born kid in Australia I reckon. I've been trying to remember whether Whispering Jack was the first audio cassette album I ever owned, or Man of Colours by Icehouse, but I'm pretty sure it was the first. Both amazing albums and wonderful memories.
How does this guy have little subscribers compared to Jimmy Barnes or Daryl Braithwaite? He is right up there with them for me! I grew up listening to him, love ya Farnsey 💙 god, my dad raised me with some great music!
As an Aussie, living in New York for the last five years, I'm singing the f*&k outta this as I pack my suitcase to take my American husband back home to see the family and watch my kid brother get married!!!! AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!!!!!
I remember going to a school excursion in the late 80's and we went to a recording studio where this song was recorded. The studio producer said that Pressure Down was done in there and he said the big drum beat before he sings Set the wheels in motion, instead of a drum, they used the sound of a Porsche door being slammed. It was a cool song back in the day I remember one Saturday after cricket in under 12's most of my team sang this song all into my Walkman. Not sure I still have the recording, but the memory is still there. It can't be erased. Good times. Great song!
Love this song and video clip. It has robots, monopoly, horses, wrestling, winners, losers.. all symbols of our life under pressure to succeed through our careers. This optimistic song tells us to take control of the wheel of life and live a balanced life. Regulate your life's pressure and keep smiling people!
when i was in 5th grade going on a school excursion they played his full album when the bus got bogged. memories. i bet none of the others on the buss remembers or will comment. sans souci public school memories.
Disappointed to not see more comments on here since you went into surgery... wishing you a speedy recovery... This song is such an iconic song of his..
My teacher Mr Mcguinity used to play this song several times a day every day for the year (and meatloaf I'd do anything for love). And now I listen to that because he was a great teacher and part of my good old days.
Hello I really do appreciate you for being a big fan thank you for your wonderful comments on my post it really means a lot to me.I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music…..❤️❤️❤️
2O24- WHO'S STILL ENJOYING ?🎶
Mate I'll be still enjoying Farnsy in my grave.
@@Schmiko6928SUCH A SWEET HUMBLE NATURAL MAN
I am! Celine Dion brings me here! Great voice! Great singer!!! Nancy from Brazil 🇧🇷
Me right now
I am 💗
The eighties had this hard to describe feeling. It was like magic mixed with the feeling of a lounge room . The world felt magic
Like this one for instance 👉 th-cam.com/video/cAMLa5ZC-B4/w-d-xo.html
farkin ae jimmi
and we wonder why boomers had it so good...
It was the air of unspoken racism, paedophilia, rape, DV, alcoholism, street violence etc etc
Bro you nailed it
My aunt and uncle from Australia gave me this album on a cassette when they visited the Netherlands. JF was not known over here so I think I became his first Dutch fan. Great album and great introduction into Aussie music 😁
The fact that it was Farnsey AND a cassette…..❤ honorary Aussie.
Agreed. Awesome. grew up in Australia but have a Dutch background. He is a great representative of Aussie music.
Used to call him "Johnny Far-out" at home coz he would always blow us away with his voice. What a blast going down memory lane. The Voice will never die in Australian History.
haha love that
This song's coming back. What a throw back!
Bloody ripper of a song from a legend!

Farnsey. Scrabble. 80s. YES! ❤❤❤❤❤

Happy memories only!
Still one of my favourite songs and I'm Aussie
Such a 80s video clip. Dude can sing for sure.
this song reminds me so much of my child hood. Love it!!
Hidden 80s gem
I always enjoy watching John Farnham sing. He has a voice that just can't be beat.
A special Man , a special voice, and a great personality
This deserves at least 20 million views
That's how videos looked back then.
@@tatjanacrosby2326 and why we love now.
Sure does Sam !
We can do it!
Have a dvd of this video I know it old but I still LOVE IT . Love the drum it perfect 👌
Happy 70th birthday Johnny Farnham!!!
What a great clip. The great Frank Thring and Farnham
This is probably his best song
Also great work having the great Frank Thring on the film clip.
The man can sing
JOHN FARNHAM A TYPICAL WELSHMAN WITH A TOUCH.OF AUSSIE TALENT A TRUE AUSTRALIAN TREASURE AND LEGEND !!! . YOUR'E THE VOICE : WHO'S LISTENING IN 2024 !!! ...
i cannot play this loud enough- i need it blasted directly into my brain
Eine der besten Stimmen der 80er

Good times, great memories. I miss it.

@@zigman69ify ah no, it ain't the truth. Thanks for asking. I've seen Farnham live a dozen times. He's better than okay. That's all.
@@zapkvr no way . He is the best fuck the rest
@@zapkvr lol the weekend? you mean autotune?
I'm 54. Before this came out 'Johnny Farnham' as he was known before this was considered a joke. I remember seeing this on tv & thinking, "Hey this is pretty good.' It really is one of the greatest comebacks in Aus TV history.
I’m 73 and I NEVER considered John to be a joke. IMO anyone who did was an idiot.
This entire album was amazing
So very good John Farnham
This song is perfect to play wen people are under pressure. The song always comes me down if I’m under a lot of pressure. So thank u John not only for bringing but to being the singer
Absolutely beautiful. Thankyou for a chill filled reaction. I cant get his voice out of my head either ❤
@JohnFarnham-df4qw Since day 1

No pressure here baby... I've got this...ALL DAY!! 👑😎💫👊
Who Loves Listening In 2024 ?
Still a big fan after 50 yrs !🥰
this absolutely deserves more views
In Cairns Queensland Australia listening right now 😜😜😜 love our Johnny
Stunning song & music video with John's incomparable purple shirt & 80s stone wash jeans.
And mullet haircut!
Love how he sings higher and higher at the end. GOAT
Attended the John Farnham documentary movie yesterday.
A sad, moving and inspiring documentary of his life (so far)
And his mateship with Glen Wheatley.
Go and see it.
😢😢🇦🇺🇦🇺
I also saw it last week. Totally agree with you.
Thank you
I was 19 when first heard this banger and is one of the best song I’ve hear or heard people
One of the BEST voices in music EVER.
Absolutely love this song. Great work John.
One word “Brilliant”
My brother had one of those robots with the screen on the front and my sister and I named it "Pressure" after this song.
My favourite song of John's.
Whoever WANTS to LISTEN....will be amazed. Great song!
John Farnham is one of the best.
My soul brought me here ❤️
i always felt like John Farnham & i were so alike: blonde boy moving to Australia when he was 10... "set the wheels in motion..." :)
The sounds of my youth.....❤🇦🇺
He is awesome. We need to take the “pressure down” on cost of living, rent and interest rates in Australia.
Awesome song, and Frank Thring was a legend.
Gotta love those 80s graphics
OMG my childhood ❤
I just can not get enough of that mid to late 80s mullet. They had a competition there to out mullet each other, Barnsey and Farnsey
I bought this album in '87 when no one in the USA knew who John was. I have been a fan ever since. If I could sing like anyone, it would be like John Farnham. I saw him with LRB in '85 a few days before I left before USMC boot camp.
If I hade a montage of my childhood this would be the song 😎
Remembering you Belinda Schmidt 2 years since you left us. You were such a great fan of John's. R.I.P. Belinda 🕊🙏🏻
What a voice and that ease
The 80's where the Best. Love the Music 🎧🎶❤️🎼
TOTAL spunk!!!
This one, Billy Joel's You Cannot handle Pressure, and the Queen/Bowie Under Pressure, all very good
In my humble opinion, the best voice ever on a solo male artist. Why this man didn't triumph overseas, apart from You're the Voice, I will never understand.
He preferred to stay at home, didn't need it. Their loss
@@jj-if6it But that was before You're the Voice was released, when it was released along with the album John came back to the UK which was his native county as You're the Voice did incredibly well and performed it on Top of the Pops and considering he was born in Dagenham Essex, he came back to the UK to do a number of concerts, he did two tours in London, the Age of Reason tour in 1988, the Chain Reaction tour in 1991, and he did a show at Shepherd's Bush Empire in 1998.

Frank Thring - Ben Hur, El Cid & a Johnny Farnham music video. That’s how good Farnsy is.

I was at Rondebosch high, now in Perth...
Happy 70th johnny !!
I'm listening to music from the eights and I have fondest memories of how music meant to be
I would give anything to get John Farnham to do a radio ID for me.
Disappointed to not see more comments on here since you went into surgery... wishing you a speedy recovery... This song is such an iconic song of his..
Great to listen and. RIP Glen Wheatley.
My teacher Mr Mcguinity used to play this song several times a day every day for the year (and meatloaf I'd do anything for love). And now I listen to that because he was a great teacher and part of my good old days.
An absolute legend and Aussie icon!

Amazing voice as he moves up octaves in the last minute of song.
Yea dude he lifts off then almighty rocking it
