At almost 40 years old, this song totally stands up today! It contains one of the most powerful lyrics of all time, We're all someone's daughter, we're all someone's son. How can we look at each other, down the barrel of a gun. Sadly, the lesson still hasn't been learned.....
That's why John is always referred to as The Voice. When he was touring Germany he appeared in from of well over 100,000 fans and sang this 'live' to the crowd. It's on video somewhere on TH-cam. Love this man.
Hi from Australia. John Farnham is loved & well respected singer here. You did it justice by listening all the way through. I am so put off by others supposedly reviewing a song and they keep stopping to hear the sound of their own voice
Thank you for this great reaction. Many of John's songs still have relevance today. His music is powerful and inspiring. John is the GOAT!! He can sing anything in any genre. Please keep reacting to him. And always react to him live. His studio albums are great, but he truly shines on stage, and you get to experience his tangible connection to his audience. He's humble, funny, loves his fellow humans, and always gives 110% in every performance. A great one to react to is John singing 'Help' live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Another great one to react to is 'When The War Is Over' from the Whispering Jack concert. There are many, many more that I could suggest, but these are a good place to start.
I’ll be crucified for this but just want to politely point out that it’s You’re the Voice, not Your.. Thank you for reacting to John. HELP should be next!
@@ross4970 thank you! You’re most welcome!! As you know, I am here to support TH-camrs in any way I can.☺️ oh did you know there was a TH-camr once who misspelled You’re the Voice and as a result, the hashtag was missed by the algorithm and people searching didn’t see his video. There is ALWAYS a method to KAP’s madness, you should know that by now 😝
One of the songwriters took it to his record company and they rejected it as not having commercial value. John got the demo and recorded it despite actually being denied permission. It went to No.1 in Australia, West Germany and Sweden, no.3 in Ireland and Switzerland, 6 in the UK and charted in a number of other European countries (barely rated in the US).
I have to add to that statement plz: in all fairness John was not known well here in the States he stayed in Australia where he lived and loved and they loved him he never had to leave! This ICONIC VOICE would have went to #1 worldwide&here if his music had been played,I love this Man we all love this man I was late learning about him and I’ve listened daily since reactors introduced me, I get chills I get happy I get sad every emotion there is, Johns music will touch your soul he is PHENOMENAL hands down✌🏻❤
3:56 Watch John fling the mic stand up in the air. You noticed him throw it off stage after but not the fling. He’s knowing Australia as “The Voice”, and it just for this song. John sings all genres.
After decades still a masterpiece!!! And this Voice!!!!!!!!!!! And you are right! You don't hear such songs anymore! They are mostly about nonsense or shaming Exes.
Thanks mate for a great reaction, there’s a lot of Johns songs that are relevant today. That’s freedom, Age of reason,See the Banners fall, In your Hands. And so many more,what you just seen is what John produces in every performance
This song went around the world and John has given his permission to use it for certain special causes. This song gave him the moniker, ' THE VOICE ' because he IS ! John sings a number of songs that deliver a message for greater good in the world. eg ' Age Of Reason, That's Freedom, Love's In Need, See The Banners Fall, Beyond The Call, Reasons, Chain Reaction'. ( It was good to see you joining in !)
John is a legend here in Oz. Live he is amazing. He gives everything in a concert. I was lucky to see him live for his 50th birthday concert. So amazing.
Thankyou for reacting to John. He is just super- amazing and can sing anything so well. He can pull at your heartstrings or lift you up and make you feel good. He is my most favourite person in the whole world. ❤❤❤
When the composer was asked if Farnham could record it, he said "h*ll no!" but Farnham recorded it anyway, and when the song became a massive world wide hit, and the money started rolling in, he was very glad Farnham ignored his wishes.
We love our Johnny and hope he will sing again after mouth cancer. He is Australia and we all know this powerful song. I still remember in grade 6 when it came out with his Whispering Jack album. ❤❤❤❤
The thing I liked about your review is that like so many other reviwers stop & start, and that craps me off. You didn't do that & I love it. Now, it's time to listen to Farnham's cover version of The Beatles Help! His singing in that is off the charts. You'll love it. I just decided to subscribe to your channel. x Linda / LindyLu from Oz.
There is so much more from this concert with the full MSO and extra drums. Always do John live, especially his many duets with international legends like Tom Jones, Celine Dion , Richard Marx etc etc. Try his duet with another Aussie legend and superstar, Jimmy Barnes. A cover of Sam n Dave's soul masterpiece from the old days. . .When Something Is Wrong With My Baby. Live from the ARIA'S or Hey Hey Its Saturday ( an Aussie TV show ) are best, but the official video will blow you away too. lol
Suggest you check out Johns version of "Black Dog" which is only audio as he only used it as a concert "warm up" usually. On one ocassion the sound Tech, actually recorded it...unbelievable result.
Hi from Australia we love John if I may suggest The Main Event- he is in that too with Olivia Newton John and Anthony Warlow then you will see why we also love him besides his music 😊 good show by the way thankyou
Have a look at John Farnham and the Melbourne symphony orchestra song is "long way to the top if you want to rock n roll !". Its an ACDC song, cover by john in this same concert i reckon just as good as ACDC even maybe a bit better but being both aussie bands hard to pick.😊👍🇭🇲🦘shout out from Aus my brother 🇭🇲👍🦘😊
Hi From Australia may just maybe US politicians take notice of John’s great voice and lyrics to there policy making along with Australian politicians it’s making it impossible for the average person to believe in all these politicians they all speak crap so they can get voted in again
The One & Only "Voice" Howblessed are we? 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Such a rabbit hole with John Farnham's catalogue - whenever possible use John's live performances he connects so much with the audience.
🔥🔥🔥
At almost 40 years old, this song totally stands up today!
It contains one of the most powerful lyrics of all time,
We're all someone's daughter, we're all someone's son.
How can we look at each other, down the barrel of a gun.
Sadly, the lesson still hasn't been learned.....
Beautiful lyrics!!!
The greatest and most versatile male vocalist of all time. 50 years of great Aussie talent.
That's why John is always referred to as The Voice. When he was touring Germany he appeared in from of well over 100,000 fans and sang this 'live' to the crowd. It's on video somewhere on TH-cam. Love this man.
He's a true performer!!
Hi from Australia.
John Farnham is loved & well respected singer here.
You did it justice by listening all the way through. I am so put off by others supposedly reviewing a song and they keep stopping to hear the sound of their own voice
John’s ‘Help’ with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is also amazing. That’s for showcasing this!
Honestly more relevant for today than it was back then. Always listen to this brilliant man live. Always.

I caught that at the end lol
I know that spelling really annoys me too. Call me old-fashioned.😄
Hi Kappy. Yes I don't where Your came from LOL!❤
Please.

This makes me cry happy tears remembering... 🥲 Blessings to John for perfect health ❤️

He's the truth!!! And the teller of truth has no friends.
And it pretty much became a national icon in the Australian music history.
I have to add to that statement plz: in all fairness John was not known well here in the States he stayed in Australia where he lived and loved and they loved him he never had to leave!

I have seen our wonderful JF live many times over the years - just remarkable. He is adored here in Oz. 💕

Thanks for a great reaction to our John The G.O.A.T. THE VOICE. It's our Aussie Anthem. You'll love Johns uplifting music and lyrics. ❤❤❤
I'm already loving it 🤜🤛🔥🔥🔥
Ha ha can tell his catured your heart as well. Yep Legend
Saw John perform this when he was 70, he was still as powerful and engaging.
After decades still a masterpiece!!!
And this Voice!!!!!!!!!!!
And you are right! You don't hear such songs anymore!
They are mostly about nonsense or shaming Exes.

He's excellent!
John is The Voice. This song, sung by John, is considered an Anthem. An amazing man with over a half century career.
Empowerment song... 🙂🙃
Great reaction!
Best from Germany
🇩🇪🇩🇪
Have you caught up with John Farnham‘s concert in Munich back in the 80s. Really worth checking out.❤
This song went around the world and John has given his permission to use it for certain special causes. This song gave him the moniker, ' THE VOICE ' because he IS ! John sings a number of songs that deliver a message for greater good in the world. eg ' Age Of Reason, That's Freedom, Love's In Need, See The Banners Fall, Beyond The Call, Reasons, Chain Reaction'. ( It was good to see you joining in !)
🔥🔥🔥🔥
He is Australian legend....the best....
Consider watching his version of Help from that same concert
John is a legend here in Oz. Live he is amazing. He gives everything in a concert. I was lucky to see him live for his 50th birthday concert. So amazing.
Epic song, Farnsey is fantastic, especially live!
🔥🔥
The album this was from -Whispering Jack - sold 800,000 more units in Australia than MJ’s Thriller.
Wow 😯
Thank you for letting that play all the way through without butchering it with comments..thank you again much appreciated
Thankyou for reacting to John. He is just super- amazing and can sing anything so well. He can pull at your heartstrings or lift you up and make you feel good.
He is my most favourite person in the whole world. ❤❤❤
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Farnsey is the GOAT. Great reaction
🤜🤛
❤❤So proud to be an Australian when I hear John singing this especially he was a lot younger and healthier then, he is the voice absolutely amazing 🎉🎉
🔥🔥🔥
Australian here love John Farnham all his songs are great
When the composer was asked if Farnham could record it, he said "h*ll no!" but Farnham recorded it anyway, and when the song became a massive world wide hit, and the money started rolling in, he was very glad Farnham ignored his wishes.
Enjoyed your reaction to this great song and amazing singer John Farnham!
Thanks for reacting to this. This is an incredible song with great meaning and then you have the voice to top it off John Farnham belting it out
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for letting the song play all the way through before commenting.
We love our Johnny and hope he will sing again after mouth cancer.
He is Australia and we all know this powerful song. I still remember in grade 6 when it came out with his Whispering Jack album.
❤❤❤❤
This song will always be a classic ❤
I Can also tell you when John Farnham recorded this song he was in deep hole where he had no money and that song and album change him forever.
A phenomenal voice.. Always go for the lives with John he’s something to behold!!!
He knows how to perform & deliver; & he includes his audience…u should check out some of his other songs
The thing I liked about your review is that like so many other reviwers stop & start, and that craps me off. You didn't do that & I love it. Now, it's time to listen to Farnham's cover version of The Beatles Help! His singing in that is off the charts. You'll love it. I just decided to subscribe to your channel.

Never gets old 💙
Yep, his cover of the Beatles' Help from the same concert, is brilliant!
You'll probably enjoy John's song "In Days To Come". Also an inspirational song
Amazing human ❤️
one of my best songs
Please email John and tell him to remaster and re-release it... and his song Help! We need this on the air today ❤
Suggest you check out Johns version of "Black Dog" which is only audio as he only used it as a concert "warm up" usually. On one ocassion the sound Tech, actually recorded it...unbelievable result.
Hi from Australia we love John if I may suggest The Main Event- he is in that too with Olivia Newton John and Anthony Warlow then you will see why we also love him besides his music 😊 good show by the way thankyou

You're
YOU’RE The Voice! An Abbreviation of You Are. Not YOUR, the second person plural possessive pronoun. Simple grammar.
