This is another one of our "Aussie anthem" songs that everyone seems to be born just knowing, regardless of your age. Daryl's an old favourite, since the Sherbet days... I've always loved that unique distinctive tone of his voice - you can't mistake him for anyone else.
Apparently, when it came time to shoot the video she was in London. She was getting her solo career off the ground and didn't want to be seen doing backup vocals as she thought it might affect her career so they used a model to lip-sync her part
I believe it is law in Australia that when this song comes on in a pub, everyone must stop what they’re doing and immediately start dancing and singing along.
Another all time classic Australian song that transcends all generations. If this song is played, you can guarantee that everyone, especially the women, are going to start belting out the chorus!
Darryl is such a down to earth gentleman and well respected. Though he didn't get the same amount of "status" us other Australian male artists he still got legendary status in the hearts of many Australians.
You need to hear him live - incredible singer. Probably Australia's most underrated. He's beloved, but I don't think people fully appreciate his vocal ability.
One of my favourite songs , it just makes you want to sing at the top of your lungs. The background singer is Margaret Ulrich a very underrated New Zealand singer.
@@simonbremner2707 I was there that night also - a little venue on Swan Street. I remember it being not much of a crowd considering she would soon after be filling some pretty big rooms.
Daryl is great. This and “One Summer” plus his newish song “Love Songs”. Plus his songs from his Sherbet days “Free the People” “You’ve Got the Gun” “Wishing Well” amongst many hits
Originally written and performed by Rickie Lee Jones (American singer). Always seems strange to me that it it was an American song that has turned into an anthem in Australia.
Start singing this and you will immediately be able to find and Aussies in the area because they will start belting it out back at you!!! Up there with Working Class Man, Run to Paradise, You're the Voice, Khe Sahn... I mean the list goes on but this is top echelon Australiana!
Have to say I must be the only Australian who cannot stand “You’re The Voice”. To me it’s such a boring song. However love this song and love Daryl and John Farnham too ❤️❤️
This is the most played song in Australia - I think that’s an actual statistic. A poll was taken and this song was played at every wedding, birthday, wake, party, pub crawl… if there’s a gathering it’s played or the nights not complete!!
Was so in love with this lady in the clip back in the day when I was a teenager. Her name is Gillian Bailey and she isn't singing really - the female vocalist was actually Margaret Ulrich. Margaret wasn;t avaliable to do the clip. Gillian became known as Gillian Vanilli due to the lip synching she did.
Horses - the last song of the night wherever you go - Prior to covid we even got the band on the Radiance of the Seas cruise to play it each night to finish off their set. When that song came on each night, all the Aussies finished their drinks and staggered off to bed. The cruise director couldn't believe it was that easy to finish the night, without dramas...
*The Cox Plate horse race at Moonee Valley is not allowed to go ahead unless Daryl sings this before the race and is joined by 30,000 racegoers singing along! Goosebumps event when you are there.*
Margaret Urlich providing backup. Love her soulful voice. Her debut album Safety in Numbers is worth a listen, especially the songs “Escaping” and “Only My Heart Calling”. Urlich sang the part of Mary Magdalene in the NZ production of Jesus Christ Superstar back in the 90s. Another great 90s female NZ recording artist is Jenny Morris (who earlier sang backup on INXS’ The Swing album). Three Morris singles worth your time (among many) are “You I Know”, “Break in the Weather” and “She Got to Be Loved”.
Teenage years memories here!!!☺️, love this song, every Aussie knows this song and 95% of them l love it!!, they play thus almost every year at our Ironic Melbourne Cup horse race carnival
When Rickie Lee Jones performed this song (her song) in Australia she was stunned that the audience knew all the words and sang along. Daryl made it his own. It's not Margaret in the clip but it's her voice.
The female singer is Margaret Ulrich. Not sure if I've spelt her surname properly. It's not actually the woman in the film clip. She's got a great voice too. And there's no mistaking of the beautiful Australian coast line. Breathtaking isn't it. Daryl Braithwaite was the lead vocalist in an Australian band named Sherbet. You've done a reaction to them. Their best song would be Howzat. Great reaction yet again. Thankyou ✌
Daryl Braithwaite (born 11 January 1949)[1] is an Australian singer. He was the lead vocalist of Sherbet (1970-1984 and many subsequent reunions). Braithwaite also has a solo career, placing 15 singles in the Australian top 40, including two number-one hits: "You're My World" (October 1974) and "The Horses" (January 1991). His second studio album, Edge (November 1988), peaked at No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart, No. 14 in Norway and No. 24 in Sweden. In 2017, Braithwaite was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame. Peace out
He was considered to have one of the best voices in Australia and it was said he had the best falsetto in the country. He was regularly voted King of Pop alongside Marcia Hines who was voted Queen. I’m going to message a link to this video to him right now. 🙂
Horses is an Aussie Anthem. Whenever this plays most Aussies will stop to sing this. It's an unwritten Law, if you're in a pub or bar and this plays and you don't sing you get kicked out LOL I've been lucky to see Daryl play this live, and everybody was singing. IT WAS EPIC 🥰
Daryl Braithwaite has been an Aussie icon for 50 years. A true legend. You should listen to Duende, Pity The Child (much lesser known songs of his). AMAZING!
Hi mate, the first ever concert I went to(my parents took me too) was a "save Daryl Braithwaite concert" where a lot of classic Australian musicians took to the stage to perform. From memory there was Cold chisel, John Farnham , Diesel and many more classic singers!! Anyhoo, Horses was the stand up event :)
Went to Sherbets Brisbane concert in 1976. Myself and 3 others, all in grade 6 were the biggest fans, all donned in our blue satin jumpsuits and Garth scarves, although my crush was Alan on drums. Wow, that was MOONS ago now
OMG This is so iconic. I went to a Concert headed by John Farnham, with Daryl Braithwaite, Russell Morris and some others just before Covid hit. The whole crowd joined in when Daryl sang this. Everyone knows it. Great reaction.😊
Awesome song this film clip was recorded on a beach to wear I live in NSW. And my parents first date was to a concert for a band called Sherbet witch was his first band I think before he went solo but he's got an unbelievable voice.
Someone really needs to get Nick onto "As The Days Go By" by Daryl Braithwaite, because there is someone he might know doing backing vocals in the chorus that he probably wouldn't be expecting, don't anyone blow the surprise who it is. Such a 90's Australian super ballad of a song.
Daryl is just brilliant I have seen him live as a solo artist and out front of Sherbet. Check out Sherbet Summer Love. The chick is Margaret Erlich who only recently passed away RIP
Should check out Josh Krajcik singing “Wild horses” that’s the song your thinking about lol. Love this song and clip. Daryl sings really well and this song puts you in a good mood
Fucking Horses! When I was working in a restaurant in Toowoomba we did a wedding reception. This was the couples song. The poor bloke on guitar must have played this 15 times for the drunk yobbos. Then we got the radio version on repeat everytime he took a breather. It was a fucking painful night, but I still love the song 😂
Daryl is another great Aussie hidden gem, his voice reminds me of a mix between Don Henley and Steve Perry. You check out another of his hits One Summer, very upbeat song from when Australia was cool. Speaking of Don Henley, check out End Of The Innocence. Cheers
The female singer is Margaret Ulrich, but the girl in the video is a model, lip syncing to the song as Margaret didn't want to or couldn't be in the video. Daryl use to be the lead singer of Sherbet, which I think you have listened to before.
I remember he was supposed to tour through my town a few years back with a group of artists for the Red Hot Summer Tour and had to cancel last minute for some reason. Whoever covered his set in the festival made sure to sing this & out of all the artists throughout the day, this is the only song that I could hear word for word 6 blocks away in my home because everyone was singing along 🤟
OMG I went to this Red Hot Summer! It was the Black Sorrows with Vika And Linda and they played a massively extended version that went for like 15 minutes! Was awesome!
I recommended this one in the comments months ago. I knew it would be something you would like. They shot it on a beach a few hours north of Sydney starting at dawn. They had a helicopter to do the aerial shots and then to fly him back to Sydney directly to a gig he had that night.
This is another one of our "Aussie anthem" songs that everyone seems to be born just knowing, regardless of your age. Daryl's an old favourite, since the Sherbet days... I've always loved that unique distinctive tone of his voice - you can't mistake him for anyone else.
Just going to say that as well 😂
Couldn’t of said it better from an 🇦🇺
Except Ricki Lee Jones (USA) wrote it
@@anniemac7545 expect that don’t mean anything. It’s still an anthem for Australians.
Every Aussie knows this song. Its part of our culture. Darryl is still performing today.
Not every Aussie, but then I've never been part of the Pub Culture which fostered live music groups in Aus.
Watching Nick getting exited listening to Aussie classics, never gets old.
The female vocals are the wonderful Margaret Urlich. A New Zealand singer. Love Darryl's voice..
Great singer.
Not her in the video though - it’s a model lip syncing.
I always assumed it was Wendy Matthews.
@@neilhadley4722 no but another amazing female singer..
@@neilhadley4722 Similar, but Margaret has more of a trill.
Apparently, when it came time to shoot the video she was in London. She was getting her solo career off the ground and didn't want to be seen doing backup vocals as she thought it might affect her career so they used a model to lip-sync her part
His backing singer in this great Aussie classic is Margaret Urlic who very sadly passed away this year. What a voice she had
I believe it is law in Australia that when this song comes on in a pub, everyone must stop what they’re doing and immediately start dancing and singing along.
Spot on Josh Kleine, how could you NOT!!👍🍺
The night/party is not complete unless this song has been played.
Even if you don’t know who sings it, you automatically know the chorus! 🤘🏼
Also traditional.... final song at weddings
Or any event really haha.
Fun fact: John Farnham did backup on Daryl Braithwaite’s “As The Days Go By”
and the song "All the Same" has Farnham in it too where he pretty much overpowers Braithwaite!
The female singer is Margaret Urlich. She was born in New Zealand but moved to Australia in 1988
Another all time classic Australian song that transcends all generations.
If this song is played, you can guarantee that everyone, especially the women, are going to start belting out the chorus!

Not so much anymore
Underrated,wtf?? His band sherbert one of the top 2 or 3 bands in Australian music history!!
Correction. PAST vocal ability.
@@bradlaw8673 Why so triggered of someone disagreeing with you?
It’s not “awful” to have a different opinion. It’s simply life. Grow up. ❄️
One of my favourite songs , it just makes you want to sing at the top of your lungs. The background singer is Margaret Ulrich a very underrated New Zealand singer.
oh yeah I'd forgotten that, she was great
"Melting pot"- When the cat's away 😁👍
Saw her in a Richmond pub backnin the early 90s pocket rocket could sang✌
A very VERY underrated singer, but an awesome one

This song is legendary in Australia, reminds me of my childhood summer holidays at the beach.
Originally written and performed by Rickie Lee Jones (American singer). Always seems strange to me that it it was an American song that has turned into an anthem in Australia.
Although I liked RLJ's music, I wasn't a fan of her version of this song.
And co-written with Walter Becker (From Steely Dan)
Thanks David, I didn't know that
They sang this together once. Great.
Start singing this and you will immediately be able to find and Aussies in the area because they will start belting it out back at you!!! Up there with Working Class Man, Run to Paradise, You're the Voice, Khe Sahn... I mean the list goes on but this is top echelon Australiana!
Every generation of Australians comes to know this song 🎵 🌟💯😃💫
Every Australian pub, wedding or party ends the night with The Horses followed by You’re the Voice
Have to say I must be the only Australian who cannot stand “You’re The Voice”. To me it’s such a boring song. However love this song and love Daryl and John Farnham too ❤️❤️
Funerals too
This is the most played song in Australia - I think that’s an actual statistic.
A poll was taken and this song was played at every wedding, birthday, wake, party, pub crawl… if there’s a gathering it’s played or the nights not complete!!
I was a backpacker in OZ. Real hymn. I wish the people in Germany would know this song too 😩
Harry Styles just did a concert in Sydney and sang Horses and Darryl Braithwaite was in the audience...
They all look great, it's the Aussie lifestyle, sun, sand sea,it is a great place to live.
I came for Braithwaite but just wanted to say the wild horses song you were singing at the start is the Rolling Stones
Every aussie knows this song and must sing it when it comes on
It’s insane to think there are people in the world only hearing this song for the first time 🤯
Was so in love with this lady in the clip back in the day when I was a teenager. Her name is Gillian Bailey and she isn't singing really - the female vocalist was actually Margaret Ulrich. Margaret wasn;t avaliable to do the clip. Gillian became known as Gillian Vanilli due to the lip synching she did.

Definitely needs some reactions to Jenny Morris. Her pop-folk and some songs from her own pen and Paul Kelly was a fab recording artist.
It's awesome to see these Aussie greats getting the recognition they deserve!!
This UA-cam channel is basically Australian music history! It’s the best!
One Summer is my personal fav Daryl Braithwaite tune. Check it out some time.
Its in our blood. It is a part of us. Every Australian, child or old person knows this song... it transcends generations...
Teenage years memories here!!!☺️, love this song, every Aussie knows this song and 95% of them l love it!!, they play thus almost every year at our Ironic Melbourne Cup horse race carnival

Daryl very underated!
Is there no deep parts to that water? omg had me in stitches!!!
Every Australian has this song in their blood and it goes off wherever it plays no matter the age group!
This is one of my all time favourite songs 🎵 he is still performing today and sounds just as good 👍

Priceless voice. Love him
God I love this song 🙌🏼
It makes your soul soar, it’s so beautiful. Thanks for a great reaction!✌🏼
I want this guy to sing. I bet he can.
Thanks for reviewing our iconic music.
Nick,you are the greatest reactionist with a wonderful voice
Great song he still singing Great memories thankyou for review this Aussie icon
We are blessed with many many great singers in our beautiful country
classic anthem here... thanks for your reaction
Yes Daryl another Aussie Treasure “Sherbit”
I loved the Song Cassandra
Great song, even better live, he still sings it these days and his voice is even better! Love Daryl!!
Horses is an Aussie Anthem. Whenever this plays most Aussies will stop to sing this. It's an unwritten Law, if you're in a pub or bar and this plays and you don't sing you get kicked out LOL I've been lucky to see Daryl play this live, and everybody was singing. IT WAS EPIC 🥰
Daryl is a phenomenal talent. His Edge album is a classic, one of my favourites.
Mate ! Been born in the middle 60's and growing up in the 70's and 80's was the best time in Australia
I grew up with this song love the video too! Daryl is still singing to this day!
An absolute Aussie classic and well, you heard it, DB can sing. Another Aussie legend.
This is our (unofficial) national anthem. Almost every Aussie knows the words.
Great song great singer
Classic Aussie song. You watch him sing it at the fire fight concert. Everyone sings along
Classic Ricky Lee Jones song. This version lost it for me
I love watching that version as he seems to tear up/ be really moved by the whole crowd singing it
Ah, Daryl. He’s so, so good. One Summer, As the Days Go By, All I do - listen to them all!! Please!!!
Daryl Braithwaite has been an Aussie icon for 50 years. A true legend. You should listen to Duende, Pity The Child (much lesser known songs of his). AMAZING!
I love Daryl singing the Cilla Black classic "You're My World".
Live at Moonee Valley on Cox Plate Day is where the acoustics are best.
✴ THank You soooo much for doing this one ! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
So so song and singer taken as an easy song and comfortable listen . Nothing special except the familiarity Aussies find hearing it .
Another great Aussie artist and one of the best road trip singalong 🎼 🎶 🎼
First ❤️ loved this reaction!
One Summer is my favourite Daryl Braithwaite song, we had to watch the UK TV Series it was based upon, hence the reference to Ickie in the song.

My beautiful country

Female vocals by Margaret Urlich. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Urlich

love this brings back great memories
I go and see him play atleast once a year, his amazing live
My wedding song!!
Gets sung at parties, barbecues, weddings, pubs anywhere 💯😃💫❣️

Sooo glad you reacted to this, I called this ages ago, it’s a bit of an anthem here in Australia, he had a voice that should’ve been global
He had a top 10 international hit with howzat, why does everyone forget that?
