We all know that John has an amazing voice, however, more than that, he has an absolutely wonderful ability to interpret & emote the meaning of the lyrics. There are lots of amazing vocal show ponies, few have John’s ability to actually live & breathe the lyrics. I’ve no idea how John never became world famous. He’s got it all - he’s a good looking guy, he’s got an amazing vocal gift, has incredible interpretative abilities & is an all round lovely person. We’ve got a treasure in our John. Simply one of Australia’s most outstanding artists. We love you, John! 💕
You forgot to mention his breathing & diction, I haven't heard any of the show ponies with that! You never hear him breathe & every word is crisp & crystal clear. When he went looking for fame internationally they all said he didn't have what it takes for their markets, yet the trash that they turn out & make millionaires are so full of themselves & can't hold a candle to this man's talent. So he said feck em all, I'm loved here at home, & here at home I will stay, & he's given us everything he is, & we adore him for it. Kudos to Jill & the boys for sharing him with us all these years, you're one hell of a woman Jilly, thank you 😘
I met you John at a caberet in a little town in Tasmania at Savage River in 1973 I was 8 months pregnant with my first daughter and she was born with blonde hair and I told her that was because you kissed my belly. I remember it like it was yesterday. Love you xxx
I can never get over just how good you are, John. Stunning control and power, simply the best Australian voice ever. Thank you mate for always giving your best. I used to ride my bike past your house when I was 15 hoping to catch a glimpse of the kid everyone was talking about who got up at the local dances & sang with the band. I guess that makes you my hero.
Farnham's voice is like a symphony... This songs reminds me of you-know-who-you-are... You made me feel so loved yet we both belong to someone else, so #PleaseDontAskMe why I am still in love with you.
My bucket list includes seeing the Mr John legend Farnham singing this live. Only problem is I would need to hide in a corner so no one see's me cry listening to the words. Wow, I wish I wasn't such a suck.
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…..❤️❤️❤️❤
I first heard the song via Luke Kennedy's version in Voice Australia and I thought it's very heart aching, but this originial proves too much for me! I am speechless! This must be the best/worst song about friendzone for a man, while women have 'On My Own' from the musical Les Mes!
Great vocal range, power at the top, tasteful ornamentation, and wonderful tone. There is also a uniqueness about Farno: no one else on the planet sounds like him.
@JohnFarnham-ln8uh …always better with your divine voice in my ear🗣️🎵👂🏻🫠… & learning you have a Mini Schnauzer you worship,was that cherry🍒 on the cupcake🧁 YoU,are a one of a kind, BIG LOVE to you,your Jill, your boys & Mr Edmund🫂
I have to google this song after I have heard on the radio while on the road going back home from a pilgrimage. I love this song since I can remember as a kid. I wanted to hear it again
Such a beautiful song and what a powerful voice this Singer John Farnham has, indeed! But i remember watching on TV and i think this must have been 3 years ago, there was a Contestant from a Singing Contest called Tawag ng Tanghalan held in the Philippines, his name is Eric Ben Gayomali...i thought he really nailed this song? You can check his awesome rendition on utube should you wish?
Please don't ask me What am I thinking It's about you Please don't ask me I never can see you What can I do? My first impulse is to run to your side My heart's not free, and so I must hide Please don't ask me What I'm gonna say to you I toss and turn Can't sleep at night It's worrying me I go to bed Turn out the light But your face I see It only hurts the more I pretend That we could ever be more than friends Please don't ask me Why I'm so in love with you You could easily make me happy, that I know But I'll try my best to never tell you so I will sing to you my love songs and pretend And I'll keep this secret right down to the end Please don't ask me Why I'm not talking I just can't explain And please don't ask me Why I go walking Out in the rain I could not live the lie it would take To have you near would be a mistake Please don't ask me Why I'm still in love with you No please don't ask me

I'm so sad he's not well. Thank you for writing such beautiful words about him.
Oh, he's famous all right.

THE VOICE 🙌

Best singer of all time
Wow, An American just discovering this amazing voice. This is one of those few that can literally sing anything. Bravo Mr. Farnham!
Ultra Venia how did U stumble on this song ?
RKO MGM it would be either an
internet device, radio, television
Chest tone and diaphragm combo ! One of my favorite singers 👏👏
Seriously it's like a jewellery box you could just keep winding up forever. So stunning
One of the greatest voice in Australia. ❤ i grew up with John voice.

Try listening to Burn For You, it was written for his wife and just as poignant as this song imo.
What a great Australian talent. Thank his he wasn’t taken away from us. Best luck John.

Farnham's voice is like a symphony... This songs reminds me of you-know-who-you-are... You made me feel so loved yet we both belong to someone else, so #PleaseDontAskMe why I am still in love with you.

How sad
@John Farnham I love this song so much and most specially the way you sung it
@John Farnham John Farnham DOES NOT HAVE ANY social media. Stop pretending that you are John.
My bucket list includes seeing the Mr John legend Farnham singing this live. Only problem is I would need to hide in a corner so no one see's me cry listening to the words. Wow, I wish I wasn't such a suck.

This is my favourite song from John Farhnam and silent night it gives me chills.
It's one of my favs, but my all time favourite Farnham song is Your The Voice.
Great great song sung by an extraordinary talent. As an Aussie..i could not be more proud of John...

Farnham has a distinct powerful voice,an amazing singer. One of the best balladeer I've heard.
Absolutely absolutely beautiful song. Tears 😢me up every time I hear.
Very early John Farnham!!!! still that strong VOICE!!!!!!!!!!
Arguably Graeham Goble’s greatest composition. I wish he’d written more of John’s solo material.
Great vocal range, power at the top, tasteful ornamentation, and wonderful tone. There is also a uniqueness about Farno: no one else on the planet sounds like him.
Well said♥️
*He's affectionately known as FARNSIE in Australia.
Kenny logins or Steve Perry will beat him
Such a GREAT voice...Followed him from his formative years...Joining Little River Band...then Solo...What GREAT Voice....one in a million.....
he is great singer ! wow!
love it,love it,love it...
Best singer.I love his songs . wonderful voice.
Goosebumps all over me...
What a song🎶
What a voice🗣️
What a Man👤👑🫂🙏🏻
@JohnFarnham-ln8uh
…always better with your divine voice

YoU,are a one of a kind,
BIG LOVE to you,your Jill,
your boys & Mr Edmund🫂
Beautiful song!
Dedicate this to her.
It's been such a long time...more than half a lifetime since we parted.
1984 to be exact.
Wishing her all the best.
How sad
no regrets?
Please don't ask me why I'm so in love with this song.
A combination of the writer, Graeham Goble, and John's Voice and personality.
Always has me in tears this song
one of my favorite, when im teenage life, I liked this song so much
I love this song and is one of my favorite pieces. :)
Just beautiful ❤️ an incredible talent and beautiful human❤️ we love you John 🌏🪐🌕🙏🐦😎🇦🇺🦋🦜👣🏡🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Australia’s best!,
Effortless!
Epic!
Please don't ask me
What am I thinking
It's about you
Please don't ask me
I never can see you
What can I do?
My first impulse is to run to your side
My heart's not free, and so I must hide
Please don't ask me
What I'm gonna say to you
I toss and turn
Can't sleep at night
It's worrying me
I go to bed
Turn out the light
But your face I see
It only hurts the more I pretend
That we could ever be more than friends
Please don't ask me
Why I'm so in love with you
You could easily make me happy, that I know
But I'll try my best to never tell you so
I will sing to you my love songs and pretend
And I'll keep this secret right down to the end
Please don't ask me
Why I'm not talking
I just can't explain
And please don't ask me
Why I go walking
Out in the rain
I could not live the lie it would take
To have you near would be a mistake
Please don't ask me
Why I'm still in love with you
No please don't ask me
My favorite love song when I was an elementary student.👍🇵🇭❤️🙂😀
