+uriinus It's a pop song version of the Georgia Guidestones (which speak of a coming age of reason). In the last frame, the metronome represents the Eye of Providence - the All-Seeing Eye of Freemasonry, agnostic Judaism (i.e., Jewish Zionism) and Satanism - and the unfinished pyramid it sits atop. All the grey, sepia-drenched people represent ghosts, i.e., the masses that have been killed off to meet these Rosicrucian's goal of a world population of 500 million. Also, notice that almost every single person is white, and conservative. This Satanic worldview of Freemasonry and atheistic Zionism (Jewish Zionism) sees the white Jewish race in cahoots with white agnostics and atheistic Christians as governing - enslaving - every single human being. Their outlook is purely white supremacist, with Jews being considered white. The Guidestones were commissioned by a man using the pen name "R. C. Christian", which clearly stands for Roman Catholic Christian, this being a snide and sneering middle finger to authentic Christianity, which is originally a spiritual teaching, as opposed to the materialism of the Freemasons and Jewish Zionists. It is also an admission that the Zionists and their collaborators already control the Vatican. Having said that, this is a good tune and well performed.
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!!!!!
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
The singers and song writers who pen these amazing lyrics should lead the world. I'm so sickened and saddened by our lack of empathy our division, our hate of anyone and everyone different is killing my will to keep going. I was once a hopeful optimist. Now I don't think we deserve the chance the universe gave us.
Still as active in 2020 as it was in 1988.. open your eyes everyone please listen to our beautiful little warrior Greta and act accordingly Great song..music.. lyrics Thank you kindly for sharing & caring 💖 💕🍃🌍🍃💕✌😊💕 ps.. we have all been living in Paradise on oure Planet but we have screwed it all up.. time for changes is Now.. "Together We Can everyone" 🍃🌹🍃
i don't understand, the government don't have to say sorry, it needs to do both. we need to get them out of prison, not to reoffend. to nurture them and to explain. it aint over yet. life is a long fucken way from over. we don't give up just because of it.. we need to give a shit and help.. we need to understand without tolerating a spit in the eyes.. WE ALL NEED TO GROW UP
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 UA-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...
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.
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.
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
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 .
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 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.
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 💗💞💘💓💓
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.
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....
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.
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
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.
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..
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.
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. 💛✌️🙏⭐🌈🤠💛💛💛
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....
Always loved this song and thinking of my brother who passed away last year, I just know hè has been liften up by Angels, as he was a living angel. I miss him everyday!❤
His hairstyles made for this and so many Songs he did in my era 85-89.Getting old really suxs yikes omg scary gosh what can we say he's 75 hard to believe it seemed yesterday now we talking about it 30.40.50 years etc etc and so on.Loved him when he helped LRB in The Other Guy what a song his Vocals adds to memories
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.
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 💕🙏
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.
It breaks my heart to think people now, don't even know of this man. My dad called him a skrecher! but he was always human and life in my eyes growing up.
He has a great message, I think a society based on reason, logic, science, mental and emotional health, and just being nice and kind to each other would be the best type of society possible, to live in
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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 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
Most of my dreams were fiction,🎉 bit of achievement, lof of failure, but with two kids of ex and new partner thinks bit ok in Australia, fan of John fanam.
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.
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.
@snap-n-shoot life is about, choices, family, country, area, environment, classes, lifestyle, quality or lack there of in life, your job on the planet, is to find away to make the difficult decisions better, no matter how good and bad about it is. This planet is about experiences, experiences equals knowledge, experience and knowledge equals wisdom. You understand all three, you share your wisdom by passing it on to others. Lessons are learned in sickness, just as much as a billionaire operating at the highest echelons of his prime performances. It's what you do in life that matters and how to learn and understand humility. The human soul can not die, death is not to be feared. To become the image of God, we must learn every which way to handle yourself through the quagmire of choices, and that is also to learn how to remember your divinity within a finite body. You are much more than your body and not all of you is in your body. You are a multi dimensional person having a limited life on earth. You came to the planet before your mindset went into a coma. What would be the point being here if you had all your knowledge of other lives you had right now. No point being here to learn on high-school earth, you'd already would have passed your grades. Don't fear anything if sometimes you can connect more consciously on a higher level than your humbled beginnings. Don't rush this life, because even the smallest of small details has it's moments of beauty. Not just the determination of a goal you are wanting to achieve. What's the point strolling into the forest if you forgot why you were there in the first place.
Well Johnny it’s all gone down the drain now, sorry to let you down. Petrol is 2.2lt, Lamb is 35kg and everything is open all day and night.. people killing each other in the streets, scammers are everywhere and most people can’t tell the difference between a real person and AI ..billions are buried in their screens and real life now what influencers tell us it is and our helpless children now feel depressed,deprived , lonely and anxious.. politicians no longer stand for anything and emergency workers have to strike or protest to make a living.. sorry Johnny xxx

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!

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 !!
John Farnham is a national treasure.

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.
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 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 Best voice of all time, my dream voice and I still hear his songs in 2024

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^^ .
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!!!
John Farnham, known as "The Voice".
His name is John Farnham and he is ours, he is Australian.🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲
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.
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!
what happened to Australia? if only the government remembered the freedom of the past
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 .
THIS is why music from the 80's is better than the violent, sexualized, crap of today, there was a message in the music.
Yes!
Personally, I think this was better than You’re The Voice.
Yes
song yes video no i found it confusing or didn't make sense
nothng beats the lyrics of you`re the voice, not for us that was hungering so desperately for the end of the cold war.
+dino hansen you failed to give a reason/s why nothing beats the lyrics (words) of you're the voice anything beats it
@@jasonlee7816 i will not repeat myself jason, but clue is in the cold war
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.
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
👌👍
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.
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..
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.
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. 💛✌️🙏⭐🌈🤠💛💛💛
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....
great song..epic mullet
Always loved this song and thinking of my brother who passed away last year, I just know hè has been liften up by Angels, as he was a living angel. I miss him everyday!❤
Such a gorgeous man,John is. ❤❤Wishing him many more years on Earth. Love you John Farham. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
His hairstyles made for this and so many Songs he did in my era 85-89.Getting old really suxs yikes omg scary gosh what can we say he's 75 hard to believe it seemed yesterday now we talking about it 30.40.50 years etc etc and so on.Loved him when he helped LRB in The Other Guy what a song his Vocals adds to memories
Yes, he is blessed with a great talent.
What an absolute masterpiece
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.
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 🧡🧡
dodgy with the ugboots on top of a mountain....looks like a scene from rocky
@@mrneal9079 never noticed lol
He sang it, however, he did not write it
YES YES YES ....We really need to hear The Age of REASON played daily.
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.
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 💕🙏
love how the little world map on the metronome at the end features Australia and New Zealand prominently.
AMO A JOHN FARNHAM!! ES ADMIRABLE CÓMO CONSERVA ESA HERMOSA VOZ. DESDE SALTA/ ARGENTINA SALUDOS.
Sooooo smooooth
Soo easy to listen too
Back up vocals are awesome , powerful
And how powerful a message in the song, is
The world could do with a couple more meaningful songs like this one. A great classic!
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 😊❤️
John is going through so much right now, I hope he recovers enough to be able to sing again.
It breaks my heart to think people now, don't even know of this man. My dad called him a skrecher! but he was always human and life in my eyes growing up.
Patrick Kelty
took the words right outta my mouth
Must of confused him with Jimmy Barnes.
Mate, what's a skrecher?
screecher -- screeching is yelling a a bad pitch or something
He has a great message, I think a society based on reason, logic, science, mental and emotional health, and just being nice and kind to each other would be the best type of society possible, to live in
Still brilliant in 2019.
Personally, I think this was better than You’re The Voice.
That song is as powerful today as it was then.
still in 2020
Better video clip
2021♥️
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.
Vinyl records!? Is that racist? I guess if you're vinyl, you can say it. 🧿📀

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.
Love you John! Just remember you have given us Aussie's, the best of you!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Richard Marks said John had the greatest voice ever he had heard. Only John could away with wearing ugg boots in a video lol
OMG how did I not know your music until today!!! I LOVE IT!! Thank u so much!!🥰🙏☺️🤍Bless your Heart
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 Farnham is an amazing artist. I listen to his music quite often and it just brings my spirits up.
Powerful song. Lyrically important and delivered impeccably by John.
Beautiful voice, beautiful mullet, beautiful man.
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. 🤗✌️
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.
Nostalgic My God… Love the `80 🥰🥰🥰
Can´t stay dry when I listen to this song...
☮☮☮ So emotional…
❤🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍🤎
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
Long live John Farnham voice and music

How is it possible for a human being to sing like John does!
I salute you Mr John Farnham.Magic,epic lyrics,the voice oh its complete.
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
This is the best mullet ever. But not only that, a great arrangement and vocals that are pretty much unsurpassed in a very good song.
Good mullet, good voice, good music. ^_^ what more could you want? haha
MrKyleDD what more? Good shoulder pads, good pastel colour outfits and good big mobile telephones with good long aerials. A good dream!
I’m glad someone mentioned probably THE Most prized Mullet of the 80s, possibly of all time?
Have always loved this song, delivered by the one and only, amazing John Farnham.
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 think every Australian is hurting right now knowing that JF isnt well. Nobody wants the Whispering Jack era to end.
great song..epic mullet
Long live John Farnham voice and music
omg i was born i 82 and this song still gives me shivers!!! whispering jack you legend
John Farnham's best and still relevant in 2022!!
Yes we have left the age of reason and entered an age of no reason.
so true
Most of my dreams were fiction,🎉 bit of achievement, lof of failure, but with two kids of ex and new partner thinks bit ok in Australia, fan of John fanam.
In the 80s we really believed we were heading into a new millennium and the age of reason 😢
That small child near the end of the film clip would be 40 years of age now.
Or there abouts...
Time just flies
My childhood in 5 mins and 9 seconds...... Melbourne boy, now living in UK and this makes me homesick.
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.
What an absolute freaking LEGEND! extreme talent, thanks heaps Johnny love your work.
❤Happy Birthday John Farnham ❤Still have this album,great singer❤You learn everyday❤
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!😃

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.
@JohnFarnham-ln8uh lived in Frankston fir 38.5yrs now I'm living back in Te Puke New Zealand
@JohnFarnham-ln8uh how is your health by the way. You fighting the battle.
Why didnt this magical God of yours prevent it in the first place?
@snap-n-shoot life is about, choices, family, country, area, environment, classes, lifestyle, quality or lack there of in life, your job on the planet, is to find away to make the difficult decisions better, no matter how good and bad about it is. This planet is about experiences, experiences equals knowledge, experience and knowledge equals wisdom. You understand all three, you share your wisdom by passing it on to others. Lessons are learned in sickness, just as much as a billionaire operating at the highest echelons of his prime performances. It's what you do in life that matters and how to learn and understand humility. The human soul can not die, death is not to be feared. To become the image of God, we must learn every which way to handle yourself through the quagmire of choices, and that is also to learn how to remember your divinity within a finite body. You are much more than your body and not all of you is in your body. You are a multi dimensional person having a limited life on earth. You came to the planet before your mindset went into a coma. What would be the point being here if you had all your knowledge of other lives you had right now. No point being here to learn on high-school earth, you'd already would have passed your grades. Don't fear anything if sometimes you can connect more consciously on a higher level than your humbled beginnings. Don't rush this life, because even the smallest of small details has it's moments of beauty. Not just the determination of a goal you are wanting to achieve. What's the point strolling into the forest if you forgot why you were there in the first place.
Well Johnny it’s all gone down the drain now, sorry to let you down. Petrol is 2.2lt, Lamb is 35kg and everything is open all day and night.. people killing each other in the streets, scammers are everywhere and most people can’t tell the difference between a real person and AI ..billions are buried in their screens and real life now what influencers tell us it is and our helpless children now feel depressed,deprived , lonely and anxious.. politicians no longer stand for anything and emergency workers have to strike or protest to make a living.. sorry Johnny xxx
