Thanks for your love and support towards me on my page I really appreciate you and can’t thank you enough. Write me with the address above to be among the lucky few who stand a chance for a meet and greet when I am in your city or city nearby 💗💞💘💓💓
What do think of him now having endorsed the YES campaign, having sold out for a cool 30 million and then having all blown up in his face the referendum lost huh?! Like Ray Martin before he's a hated and marked man for being a traitor/sell out some 35 years later?! He can never enter the show spotlight again you realize and he helped divide our country too after 40 years?!!. I'm sure at the time, it must of felt magical to be a part off this video clip?! Have no reservations that now he is finished!!!!!
Just watched a John Farnham special and god was it special. He’s lost some very good mates just recently and he him self just got the all clear from cancer. He’s under gone a fair bit of savage surgery to get it out tho. I thought we were going to loose him to 😥. Hopefully we get to keep Jonny on the planet for while longer yet. Prayers to John,family and friends, may he come good 🙏🏻🫶🏻❤️. Love ya John .
This brings back nostalgia. Front door was always unlocked , back when you knew your neighbours , back when any kid your age was a friend . And back when the milk man came knocking….
You left your front door unlocked in the 1980s?! You daredevil! My neighbour had lived next door since the 1960s - he definitely told us they used to leave the keys in the ignition when they parked at the shopping centre, but I never saw that era! And we did stick with the milkman for as long as we could.
In 70s he was “a British migrant “for Australia,and now he is “a national treasure “??? He is British, born in England. His parents migrated to Australia when he was 10 years old(1959).So,he is a British treasure.🤓
@Dead Well actually, Camie R.-S. is right just because John, moved to Australia in 1959 doesn't mean that he changed his national identity to Australian, because he's still British as well, he's been back to the UK a few times since he moved to Australia, to promote his smash hit You're the Voice on Top of the Pops in London which was a UK top 10 hit at the time, he performed Age of Reason on Terry Wogan's show in 1988, performed at the Prince's trust concert in Birmingham in 1989 and performed in London in 1988, 1991 and 1998. It's just sad that John only had one hit, I mean just think he could've been huge in the UK, I blame his manager for not giving him enough promotion in the UK, and I also blame the UK's self obsession with American music because America has got nothing to do with the UK.
My all time favourite song by Farnsy. I’m blown away of how this song is so relevant today, and is still a reminder about human nature. Such a visionary and a gem of a guy.
Andrew, Ahead of its time YES as is the Voice which is RIGHT ON TIME today in 2023 for October 14th Referendum & running with US Olivers Anthony's Rich men North Of Richmond which has collected 63 million hits on TH-cam in a month.
Lolz the Yes referendum?! That didn't quite work huh?! But Farnsey did help divide the country now and he will forever be remembered for that now for being a traitorous sellout. But he's sitting on his 30 million right now, Ole half jaw....Half of the population hates him now sigh...
Just like John I emigrated to this great country called Australia,living in the U.K.when Your the Voice was in the charts. A brilliant singer with a magnificent voice very apt song with is what's going on in the world today.
Yes, look at Melbourne this week, 26/09/2021. The Age of reason is on the Georgia Guide Stones, we saw that carved into stone and headed to this song and spotted your post, very good!
We’re in a time when all the scum is rising or the surface, hence all the madness. The Earth is going through a cleansing so to speak. It will take time, we all just have to hold the line, not comply and these tyrants will be done. They’re hanging by a thread, you could say we’ve already won. And then the new prosperous age will come about.
Schade das John Farnham (bis auf ,,Your the voice") in Europa nicht so populär wurde. Tolle Musik die man sich nach all den Jahren immer wieder gerne anhört.
As of 2022 John has throat cancer. I pray in God's name to interceed on our behalf to heal John's body otherwise may he have a place with the Cherubim's in Heaven.
@JohnFarnham-ln8uh hi John you probably don't know me but my brother years back drove you by taxi to your home. You took him through the back entrance in Melbourne. He said you had the best attitude for a person who is famous because you talked to him like a normal person. You tipped him good too. From that conversation you sound like a top notch well balanced man. I been a fan of yours since I was in year 7 in 1987. Your voice is remarkable too. The Taxi ride was just under 1hr long. This happened around 1998-99ish I think.
I'm born in 1980 an consider John Farnham an Angel with his voice alone. A true visionary , Every one of his tracks is useful and purposeful to future generations.
This man, John Farnham, or “Farnsie” as he is affectionately known by us Australians, is and always will be a national treasure. Thank you for the memories, sir ❤
THAT PIANO IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS SONG, IS BEAUTIFUL, PERFECTLY PLACED AND WHEN LISTENING AGAIN TO JOHN, HOW COULD WE ALL NOT LOVE HIS VOICE, LOVELY TONE
unbelievably John Farnham was 30 years ahead of recent times, this song is more timely than ever. And this is real music to hear, enjoy and deeply think the message behind the lyrics.
The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it. Albert Einstein
Tragically, he wasn't 30 years ahead. This was the spirit of the late 80s. It was a period of extraordinary wisdom and forward thinking. Then the 90s began and our future was smothered in its cot. You're looking at the crossroads and the road not taken.
While I agree but this track is based off 80's enthusiasm and naiveness because it was SO good back then and nothing more..It's all too easy to be open and caring to the "Age Of Reason" concept when times were good, now after some 31 years later it's the concept of go woke and now broke...A growing silent minority are now no longer interested in that concept anymore as the "Age Of Isolation" and Pro Exit U.N. are now creeping in.
The way he gently passes by everyone at the end of the clip and just commands the room with his presence. Man, I really miss the Australia of yesterday..
Now that our Father's are gone and we be left to carry on...how can we fail to see... This beautiful man is one of the greatest voices of reason we have... When are we going to learn? Can we face our fathers with what the world has become, and so many men gave their lives for what they thought was freedom? What have we done to honour this apart from pomp and ceremony? Love to John and his health
Farnham really was a "one hit wonder" here in his birth country. Ask anyone in England from the 80s, and they'll name You're The Voice as the John Farnham song they know. And it's a great tune, I can't deny. Very rousing. Kind of an anthem, I suppose. But.......for me this one hits spots You're The Voice doesn't. I can't explain it.....Age Of Reason is just utterly and truly phenomenal. And I'm so so so glad I tuned into my local radio station (Invicta FM) that day, as a teen, in the late 80s when I did. Because, had I not, this song's abysmal showing in the UK charts means I would never ever have been introduced to one of my all time favourite tracks....
I have always loved this brilliant song...Including John Farnham's lovely voice. I just heard it late this morning on the radio, and it moved me to......You Tube. Search...Glad I have now 'saved it'. As this song seems to echo the thoughts, and attitudes, of our HRH Prince Philip, and Sir David Attenborough...And HRH Prince Charles, and many more who have these lyrics as part of their life goals. Great John!! A truly brilliant song. Can I dedicate this song to Prince Phillip's memory? 18.4.2021. Having watched the live broadcast of his family funeral in the early hours of this morning, on TV, like many millions around the world. .What a man, what a life!! What a legacy..... God bless his family, with deep sympathy. Thoughts, and much respect, from.... New Zealand. x
Hi I'm an aboriginal, from the N.T east Arnhem land do was my family Still believe in culture and our God , the father the son and the holy spirit. 💛✌️🙏⭐🌈🤠💛💛💛
grew up at as a kid listening to his vinyl records. His face should be on coins and money; No ones comes close to the heart and power he projected. His music writing is gold. Australian music at its best. voice control is next level. . He poured his heart and soul into his music and you feel every moment. Its one in many generations experience.
Unfortunately Melbourne is not a pleasant place right now. Pray for us here please. We are living in an age of no reason. We are threatened by our government.
One of his best the man is a messenger from above just listening to him makes me want to take action you ain't australian if you didn't grow up listening to John Farnham
I remember around about 1993 and Farnsie did a concert in the middle of the street in Hobart. Me and some friends weren't keen on him, so we started heckling. I can't remember what we said or what his comebacks were but he totally destroyed us and all we could do was slink away, tail between our legs. I've had great respect for him ever since.
@@squidjames7735 And I suppose I'm as English as Marmite and a pint of porter! Half Scot, half Polish Brit here who loves his beer, and great music! Cheers to all in the commonwealth!
Brings tears to my eyes to, makes me reflect on Australia and how much it has gifted my life with its beauty and innocence. What a beautiful land we live in and what a gift the Whispering Jack is for us 🧡🧡
Whispering Hack needs to go back home to England to spend his final days. He's no longer welcome in this country anymore, after everything he was given, all the privileges he had for 50 years. This is how he repays us by endorsing a corrupt, racist yes campaign which lost. But it doesn't matter as he has his 30 million for being a traitor sellout. He should go back to where he came from.
From the day that we were born we've been heading down a track Sometimes it's made for good sometimes for bad But if we look behind us there's a wave coming down Carrying us forward to a new age What about the world around us How can we fail to see And now that our fathers have gone And we've been left to carry on What about the age of reason So why can't we be still why can't we love each other Is kindness an ancient skill buried by our blindness And if we look behind us there's a wind blowing in To create the age of reason If we consider carefully the options put before us So much wisdom so much love so much waiting for us And if we look ahead there's the sun and the seasons Another day another age of reason
Long live John Farnham voice and music omg i was born i 82 and this song still gives me shivers!!! whispering jack you legend I salute you Mr John Farnham.Magic,epic lyrics,the voice oh its complete.
I was only a kid around 9-10 years old but loved this guy , he wasn’t a sleaze he always sang about powerful topics I had no idea what those songs meant until I grew older and listened again and realised this man was truly the best role model for Aussies
I loved this song when first come out forty years later still listening to this masterpiece with a very powerful message I wish this generation had music 🎶 like the 80s the best how lucky to been able to live in such a amazing era . Wishing you a speedy recovery john 💕🙏
Out of the blue, just remembered The Voice and Age of Reason. One of my first albums from my music loving elder brother. Was listening to this at the age of 8 when it came out and decades later-it is still powerful and relevant. When music was music. Great and powerful message which spread to Southern Africa. So fortunate to listen to such
This song came out when I was being terrorized in 5th grade (whatever the equivalent is elsewhere), but since the past is dead and gone I hear with a clear and loving mind a clear and loving song. John Farnham has a great voice and a great heart. He's a huge influence both vocally and lyrically on me. Today's music doesn't care. There is no real love in it. People are not singing anymore they are making themselves into instant touch and go pop stars. That is not what music is all about. NO! Music is about what's in your heart and expressing what's in your heart. I hope to bring something new to the table and I'm geared up for it. The big part of that "Something new" is rewinding music back to when it was great music and not rubbish fit more for a garbage can than a record album! John Farnham is great. Thanks for inspiring me, John.
1988 BMG Australia Limited. I was ten years old when this single shook the world of music ... ... at a time when great composers and delicious melodies indicated to our hearts that art could be heard ... without the need to see,, but in our senses it drew various forms of sensations even more pleasant than sight.
Man, this Dude could SING. I loved his early days with Little River Band the most, but he still "had it" in the 80's. Well done, Australia!! Love, from Canada. I know he was born in England but I think of him as an Ozzie.
He had hits in Australia from the late 60 to late 70s. His time with LRB was actually the lull in his career until he broke through again with You're the Voice in 1986.
Great NZ AU track, written by a legend Kiwi Todd Hunter and sung by AU legend JF :) omg i was born i 82 and this song still gives me shivers!!! whispering jack you legend
Do you still agree with his "Age Of Reason" concept now in 2019 after some 31 years ago?! I was probably near your age around then and yeah the track gave me some chills to the bone as a 10 yr old back then but somehow I had my doubts back then only to have them realized now in the 21st century....
Exclusive Exceptional Entertainer. JOHN "VOICE" FARNHAM. What We Need Now-Age Of Reason. Blindness. Fail To See. So Much Waiting For Us. Love and Wisdom.
A great enduring song. The lyrics are ageless. And one of the best all time mullet hair cuts. When Glenn Wheatley helped John re-invent himself, together, they created a masterpiece of Australian music
I just love the 1980's. Decade of my youth. Love the cars,obvious political landscape, music and simplicity of it. This song fits so well in this atmosphere.
Man, this video gives me the tears when watching this now in this year of 2023.....man I miss the 80's , my young days of happiness and love!
It was the best
You're in the age of reason buddy.. so much promise.. lol
This brings tears to my eyes. Oh how I miss this Australian era. It felt like an eternal summer. What a blessed childhood....
Yep it was so much better then to Now.
Tell me about it! How mad was the past.....
It was rocking! It brought me so much joy. We need those times back again.
Spot on
Same reaction too.
💜 🤗 💯
THE VOICE AUSTRALIAS BEST MALE SINGER EVER.
April 2024- LOVE YOU. THANKYOU 👍
Hello Jennifer, i agree with you but what about Colin Hay? In germany this voice is still in mind of many of us.❤️ Best wishes to Down Under😉
And Michael Hutchence?
i think this is one of my favourites
In 1988 I was 19 when this came out, and in the Aussie Army, great memories

I was one of those kids, probably one of the biggest moments in my life.
Long live John Farnham voice and music
wow that's cool
Masterpiece
wow, I am listening to the song now just wondering where you all were these days ,. great memories
I was the singer 🤣
What do think of him now having endorsed the YES campaign, having sold out for a cool 30 million and then having all blown up in his face the referendum lost huh?!

Thankful that I am one of the 80's kids...I still listen to 80s songs and amazingly my children have taken to listening to 80s songs
John Farnham is a national treasure.

The good old days of Australian music. I was a kid and can still smell the air when this song came out.

Smells like lead fuel and paint to me. Loved it!
@@martianvideo love it!
What a song! Amazing! ❤
Wow. Who is this guy. This vocal range is another planet.
Australia's most loved singer♥️ check out "silent night" by john, it's amazing!!!
My all time favourite song by Farnsy.
I’m blown away of how this song is so relevant today, and is still a reminder about human nature.
Such a visionary and a gem of a guy.
Good Taste, Masood !!!😎😎😎
🌏
The best song ever from John. I'm now 72 and still love his songs. I don't hear much of his songs on the Dutch radio but I have his record.
He didn’t write the song unfortunately
Now " Human Nature " they are another story !!
This song was ahead of it's time. Still love it today. Wishing you well in your recovery John.
Andrew, Ahead of its time YES as is the Voice which is RIGHT ON TIME today in 2023 for October 14th Referendum & running with US Olivers Anthony's Rich men North Of Richmond which has collected 63 million hits on TH-cam in a month.

Such a gorgeous man,John is. ❤❤Wishing him many more years on Earth. Love you John Farham. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
The Best voice of all time, my dream voice and I still hear his songs in 2024
John Farnham, Tina Arena, Elton John, Michael jackson, Poison, Guns n roses-gosh I miss those days of good 80s/90s music.
Love your music taste. I still love the 80's and 90's .
Love you John! Just remember you have given us Aussie's, the best of you!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Just like John I emigrated to this great country called Australia,living in the U.K.when Your the Voice was in the charts. A brilliant singer with a magnificent voice very apt song with is what's going on in the world today.

He's my Lord and Sabiour, Johnny Farnham! Amen 🙏 😋🤣🤣
Well, he never wrote this song, so yes he is THE VOICE, without Farnham there is no ‘Reason’ ❤🇦🇺
Reminds me of my life & time as a DJ with my boss DJ fine in Mombasa in the 90's👍🏿👏🏿👌🏿🙏🏿
The world and life that we had back then is gone. I’m just so glad I got to experience it with this amazing era of real music. 🦋🙏
Hi 👋 Amelie
This man, John Farnham, or “Farnsie” as he is affectionately known by us Australians, is and always will be a national treasure. Thank you for the memories, sir ❤
THAT PIANO IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS SONG, IS BEAUTIFUL, PERFECTLY PLACED AND WHEN LISTENING AGAIN TO JOHN, HOW COULD WE ALL NOT LOVE HIS VOICE, LOVELY TONE
It brings a tear to my eye.
Hirschfelder is a sublimely talented musician and yeah he did have a killer do back in the day lol
I always loved this as a kid. The production was unbelievably slick for John Farnham.
I've just been reading about David Hirschfelder. Two Academy Award nominations. Wow. And he's from my home town of Ballarat. Amazing talent.
unbelievably John Farnham was 30 years ahead of recent times, this song is more timely than ever. And this is real music to hear, enjoy and deeply think the message behind the lyrics.

You are so right in your comment
Within what or Covid19?! You can tell that to my dead mom of a corpse that passed away this March 2020 as well!
The way he gently passes by everyone at the end of the clip and just commands the room with his presence. Man, I really miss the Australia of yesterday..
Now that our Father's are gone and we be left to carry on...how can we fail to see...
This beautiful man is one of the greatest voices of reason we have...
When are we going to learn? Can we face our fathers with what the world has become, and so many men gave their lives for what they thought was freedom? What have we done to honour this apart from pomp and ceremony?
Love to John and his health
John, I'm 55 Jears old. It's so nice to hear you again. Thank you for your music, your true heart and your words.
lyrics of age of reason are still relevant over 30 years later
True ... but I believe I could've told you that they would still be relevant 30 years ago.
And next century.
It became the age of greed and has not stopped.
That piano solo in the middle of the song is just amazing. Decades old and still so wonderful to listen to. The whole song is a masterpiece.
Exactly. You have heart brother. ❤

dodgy with the ugboots on top of a mountain....looks like a scene from rocky
@@mrneal9079 never noticed lol

From the day that we were born we've been heading down a track
Sometimes it's made for good sometimes for bad
But if we look behind us there's a wave coming down
Carrying us forward to a new age
What about the world around us
How can we fail to see
And now that our fathers have gone
And we've been left to carry on
What about the age of reason
So why can't we be still why can't we love each other
Is kindness an ancient skill buried by our blindness
And if we look behind us there's a wind blowing in
To create the age of reason
If we consider carefully the options put before us
So much wisdom so much love so much waiting for us
And if we look ahead there's the sun and the seasons
Another day another age of reason
Long live John Farnham voice and music
omg i was born i 82 and this song still gives me shivers!!! whispering jack you legend
I salute you Mr John Farnham.Magic,epic lyrics,the voice oh its complete.
1982 myself and this song still a fav and takes me back to family road trips with this on cassette in the family car
I was only a kid around 9-10 years old but loved this guy , he wasn’t a sleaze he always sang about powerful topics I had no idea what those songs meant until I grew older and listened again and realised this man was truly the best role model for Aussies
👌👍
Thunder in your heart is my favorite. It seems everybody is forgetting about that and break the ice. So powerful
I loved this song when first come out forty years later still listening to this masterpiece with a very powerful message I wish this generation had music 🎶 like the 80s the best how lucky to been able to live in such a amazing era . Wishing you a speedy recovery john 💕🙏
Out of the blue, just remembered The Voice and Age of Reason. One of my first albums from my music loving elder brother. Was listening to this at the age of 8 when it came out and decades later-it is still powerful and relevant. When music was music. Great and powerful message which spread to Southern Africa. So fortunate to listen to such
John is going through so much right now, I hope he recovers enough to be able to sing again.
That song is as powerful today as it was then.
Yeah I was just about to say that too . Great and meaningful lyrics even today . so much anger and violence around
Perhaps even more so!
lyn fletcher wanker
Lyn Fletcher right! You weren't going to say it. someone else said it
Indeed... I would say even more so.
We didn't listen,
The world has lost all reason, no one can see we are on the brink......
This song came out when I was being terrorized in 5th grade (whatever the equivalent is elsewhere), but since the past is dead and gone I hear with a clear and loving mind a clear and loving song. John Farnham has a great voice and a great heart. He's a huge influence both vocally and lyrically on me. Today's music doesn't care. There is no real love in it. People are not singing anymore they are making themselves into instant touch and go pop stars. That is not what music is all about. NO! Music is about what's in your heart and expressing what's in your heart. I hope to bring something new to the table and I'm geared up for it. The big part of that "Something new" is rewinding music back to when it was great music and not rubbish fit more for a garbage can than a record album! John Farnham is great. Thanks for inspiring me, John.
Thank you for your love and support 😊❤️
I have to listen to this song at least once a day at the moment.
The lyrics are great, harmonies amazing...John Farnham is just brilliant.
Was never a John Farnham fan in the 80's but loved this song. Always felt it left You're The Voice far in it's dust. Brilliant song.
amen jerky
1988 BMG Australia Limited. I was ten years old when this single shook the world of music ... ... at a time when great composers and delicious melodies indicated to our hearts that art could be heard ... without the need to see,, but in our senses it drew various forms of sensations even more pleasant than sight.
Was für eine begnadete Stimme.! Wunderschönes Video/Lied.❤
Australias King Of Sing You Are Amazing
another brilliant Aussie singer..!!!
Have always loved this song, delivered by the one and only, amazing John Farnham.
Man, this Dude could SING. I loved his early days with Little River Band the most, but he still "had it" in the 80's. Well done, Australia!! Love, from Canada. I know he was born in England but I think of him as an Ozzie.
He had hits in Australia from the late 60 to late 70s. His time with LRB was actually the lull in his career until he broke through again with You're the Voice in 1986.
One of John’s finest a great vid John looking so good at his peak! ❤️🌹❤️
Great NZ AU track, written by a legend Kiwi Todd Hunter and sung by AU legend JF :)
omg i was born i 82 and this song still gives me shivers!!! whispering jack you legend
The world could do with a couple more meaningful songs like this one. A great classic!
He always composed songs with great message for everyone in the world!
The song was written by written by Todd Hunter and Johanna Pigott. Todd Hunter of Dragon.
Rodrigo Rocha Coutinho John rarely wrote his own sings, if he did it would be a collaboration with other performers.
The voice of Australia!
Long live John Farnham voice and music
Hello Deanne

John Farnham's best and still relevant in 2022!!
I remember this song. He is still a great singer . Xoxox
I was one of those kids, probably one of the biggest moments in my life.
Join my John Farnham group on facebook. Friends Who Love John Farnham. Just say yes to the rules.
Did you hear him sing?
Do you still agree with his "Age Of Reason" concept now in 2019 after some 31 years ago?! I was probably near your age around then and yeah the track gave me some chills to the bone as a 10 yr old back then but somehow I had my doubts back then only to have them realized now in the 21st century....
Didn't you die in the gangland murders?
There must have been over 100 kids in that video. They sure put some effort in this, happy for ya you had such a good moment^^ .
One of the best songs.✌️🎯🇦🇺
Thanks for your love and support 😊❤️
👌👍✌️🌏
@@johnfarnhamofficial1469 The pleasure belongs to millions of your appreciative fans.Thanks John. Stay strong. 🤗✌️
Exclusive Exceptional Entertainer.
JOHN "VOICE" FARNHAM.
What We Need Now-Age Of Reason.
Blindness. Fail To See.
So Much Waiting For Us.
Love and Wisdom.
John Farnham is an amazing artist. I listen to his music quite often and it just brings my spirits up.
80's had some great songs. those melodies are unforgettable.
This is one of the Best videos produced and Anthems ever written
Love the piano solo.
great song..epic mullet
Powerful song. Lyrically important and delivered impeccably by John.
Beautiful voice, beautiful mullet, beautiful man.
To my daddy,l shed a tear every day,l miss the 80's and 90's with you ,you took all that was good with about the it,to the next life.
So sorry to hear of the Cancer, hope you get well soon Mr. Farnham. Thinking of you during your battle.
A friend of mine worked on John's horse farm and he told me about him. He really is just an every day guy and a real comedian.
Sooooo smooooth
Soo easy to listen too
Back up vocals are awesome , powerful
And how powerful a message in the song, is
Ein Lied das meine Jugend geprägt hat. So wunderschön. Und immer wenn ich es höre muss ich weinen.
A great enduring song. The lyrics are ageless. And one of the best all time mullet hair cuts. When Glenn Wheatley helped John re-invent himself, together, they created a masterpiece of Australian music
One day the mullet will be back. Some day.
This song was released 27 years ago but is so current now.
This brings tears to my eyes. God I miss my youth 1980s/90's Australia.
one of the greatest British-Australian singers of all time. 🇬🇧🇦🇺
Yes!
umm, Australian. he gave up the grey clouds dreeryness long time ago.
omg i was born i 82 and this song still gives me shivers!!! whispering jack you legend
Crystal Dober There can be only one...one of THE greatest singers to grace this planet!!! Bloody legend no doubt!😃
⅝
I just love the 1980's. Decade of my youth. Love the cars,obvious political landscape, music and simplicity of it. This song fits so well in this atmosphere.
AMO A JOHN FARNHAM!! ES ADMIRABLE CÓMO CONSERVA ESA HERMOSA VOZ. DESDE SALTA/ ARGENTINA SALUDOS.
My mum's favorite song♥️ speedy recovery john🙏
