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.
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 !!! ...
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.
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!
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 .
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.
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!
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.
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 ...
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!!!!!
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
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!
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.
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..
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!
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…..❤️❤️❤️
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…..❤️❤️❤️
Great singer, Great man. I have been to Australia for nearly 20 years. I love all John Farnham's songs. Looking back and listening to his song it makes me feel life is possible and liveable. Thumb up mate!
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 👉 ua-cam.com/video/cAMLa5ZC-B4/v-deo.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.
This song's coming back. What a throw back!
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 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 👌
Such a 80s video clip. Dude can sing for sure.
this song reminds me so much of my child hood. Love it!!
This is probably his best song
One of the BEST voices in music EVER.
Ain't that the truth JC
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.
@@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?
A special Man , a special voice, and a great personality
This entire album was amazing
So very good John Farnham

Good times, great memories. I miss it.
Stunning song & music video with John's incomparable purple shirt & 80s stone wash jeans.
And mullet haircut!
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 .
Love how he sings higher and higher at the end. GOAT
Happy 70th birthday Johnny Farnham!!!
Happy memories only!
He is awesome. We need to take the “pressure down” on cost of living, rent and interest rates in Australia.
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.

snakes & ladders & darts
@@kindaprivate9012 😂😂😂😂
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'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.
One word “Brilliant”
Awesome song, and Frank Thring was a legend.
It was great growing up in the 80's listing to the music of John Farnham, and also Bruce Springsteen.

What a great clip. The great Frank Thring and Farnham

Absolutely beautiful. Thankyou for a chill filled reaction. I cant get his voice out of my head either ❤
@JohnFarnham-df4qw Since day 1
@JohnFarnham-df4qw Born and bred in Brisbane and now near Bundy for a tree change 😊
Bloody ripper of a song from a legend!
It’s scary to think this came out 4 years before I was born but I still pump out loud!
Thats great . He is from my era and I still get a kick out of his music full blast . Wish I could convince my adult kids to appreciate it . Lol
That’s cos you have good taste 👍
I’m 17 right now n it’s damnn good.
KEEPIN IT REAL
This song came out 5 years before I was born, I think it’s a great song regardless.
Amazing voice as he moves up octaves in the last minute of song.
Yea dude he lifts off then almighty rocking it
this absolutely deserves more views
This is such an iconic John Farnham song- I hope he recovers with his jaw.
John Farnham is one of the best.
John we love you. You are truely a National Treasure oxox
No pressure here baby... I've got this...ALL DAY!! 👑😎💫👊
I always enjoy watching John Farnham sing. He has a voice that just can't be beat.
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
Also great work having the great Frank Thring on the film clip.
One of the BEST voices in music EVER.
Absolutely love this song. Great work John.
i cannot play this loud enough- i need it blasted directly into my brain

I also saw it last week. Totally agree with you.
The man can sing
Beautiful memories! My year seven class performed a dance to this song.
Gotta love those 80s graphics
One of the BEST voices in music EVER.

My favourite song of John's.

He preferred to stay at home, didn't need it. Their loss

John Farnham's music is timeless and his voice extraordinarily good. His music will always be loved and appreciated
Remembering you Belinda Schmidt 2 years since you left us. You were such a great fan of John's. R.I.P. Belinda 🕊🙏🏻
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..
i always felt like John Farnham & i were so alike: blonde boy moving to Australia when he was 10... "set the wheels in motion..." :)
Luv Johnnie xxxx
Frank Thring - Ben Hur, El Cid & a Johnny Farnham music video. That’s how good Farnsy is.

Farnsey. Scrabble. 80s. YES! ❤❤❤❤❤
My brother had one of those robots with the screen on the front and my sister and I named it "Pressure" after this song.
The sounds of my youth.....❤🇦🇺
the best mullet ever
nitz rizzo Nope, best mullet ever belongs to Iva Davies...
I would have thought that was Nik Kershaw.
An absolute legend and Aussie icon!
the best mullet ever
I'm listening to music from the eights and I have fondest memories of how music meant to be
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.
Eine der besten Stimmen der 80er
This is like 20 years before my time and it sounds better than music that's around now
superb singer John has and always will have a brilliant voice..!!!
favourite song ever tbh
I was 19 when first heard this banger and is one of the best song I’ve hear or heard people
