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!!!!!
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.
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 .
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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!❤
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.
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.
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. 💛✌️🙏⭐🌈🤠💛💛💛
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.
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
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 💗💞💘💓💓
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
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.
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.
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
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 ❤
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.
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
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.
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
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....
@@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!
Con este álbum, descubrí a John Farnham, compré este disco de oferta en 1990, el cantante me sonaba de "Little River Band" y me gustaba mucho, cuando vi el Lp a la venta, pensé: - Creo que este cantante es el de la little river band, y efectivamente así era, la canción "Age of Reason" se convirtió en mi favorita me cautivó desde el minuto 1, hoy en día sigue siendo mi favorita, y este disco algo muy muy especial para mi, porque me dió la oportunidad de conocer a John más a fondo, hasta el punto que hoy en dia, tengo toda su discografía desde 1967 a hoy, todos sus dvd's y videos, todas las bandas sonoras en las que ha participado con su voz, en vinilo y en cd, y todos sus singles 45, desde 1967 hasta hoy. sin duda John Farnham, es mi auténtico número 1 por encima de otro cantantes. Y todos, todos todos los días, escucho sus canciones desde 1990 hasta hoy, en mi spotify es mi artista récord, con más de 9.800 minutos escuchando la música de John Farnham, durante 2023, estoy a la espera de recibir el informe de spotify de 2024, pero será más o menos lo mismo. Saludos a todos los aficionados a John Farnham, desde Barcelona, España.
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.
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..
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.
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
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.
..and even in 2024-this song is still soo relevantt-by what marks the closes-and at the same time-ushering in the Great Wave of ReNew-per the Downloads, In codings, Upgrades-and Vibrations-amidst Mankind. I'm readying for the Age(s) of Reason(ing).. Surf's UP for🙏Enlightenment obtain i gain. thank you, j.f. resting in Paradise the Powerful..unforgetable voice-i Hear you❤
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
Yeah I miss how things were it was all so good now it’s just a memory! We could go out anywhere and it was new and exciting now it’s just a different world 🌎 so sad I miss those days where no one felt entitled they just got on with life god I miss those days 🙏❤
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....
Hello beautiful, I have seen a quite handful of your comment on my post uploaded on my business page, so I decided to create a more private page to appreciate those people whose comments and good wishes encourages me and I hope to bring you guys more... thanks a lot, I feel so honoured and blessed to have an amazing fan like you. ❤❤
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.
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 💕🙏
You're STILL the voice ~ You're the best performer, 'Whispering Jack' the best album this country has ever produced. I was so privileged to have meet you twice. Saw every one of your concerts ~ amazing ~ Thanks for the incredible memories jack.... You're STILL the best!!!! You're number one fan......
💜 🤗 💯

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.
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 .
Least he’s still here unlike some very lucky man, damn smoking 🚬 is a bish . We all did it do it …
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
I was born in 1984 and listen to john every day so do my children 15 and 9
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.

Wow. Who is this guy. This vocal range is another planet.

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 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….

Just leave it open think free be free
We didn't listen,
The world has lost all reason, no one can see we are on the brink......
So true
Even more so now, getting worse by the day.
The good old days of Australian music. I was a kid and can still smell the air when this song came out.
Same
Smells like lead fuel and paint to me. Loved it!
@@martianvideo love it!
What a song! Amazing! ❤
I just shed some tears listening to this. We really have lost all reason in this age :(

A true visionary , Every one of his tracks is useful and purposeful to future generations.
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👍🏿👏🏿👌🏿🙏🏿

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.
OMG how did I not know your music until today!!! I LOVE IT!! Thank u so much!!🥰🙏☺️🤍Bless your Heart
The Best voice of all time, my dream voice and I still hear his songs in 2024
❤You are absolutely right ❤
Für mich immer noch ein fantastischer Song und ein tolles Video aus den 80er .
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
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.
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.
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
Congratulations on the logie!!!!!
You're still number one, John
🤗
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 ❤
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.
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.
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. ❤
Yes the piano is absolutely top notch.
Played by David Hirschfelder.
Was für eine begnadete Stimme.! Wunderschönes Video/Lied.❤
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.
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. 🧿📀
I'm not an Aussie, but this is the bollox 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
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
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.
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....
This is one of the best songs ever written
Mark Hunter and his wife wrote it
Thunder in your heart is my favorite. It seems everybody is forgetting about that and break the ice. So powerful
How is it possible for a human being to sing like John does!
Amazing cinematography - God bless John Farnham as a half Sottish Brit!
pull the wee one mi laddie ... he as Aussie as vegemite and kangaroos.
@@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!
John Farnham's best and still relevant in 2022!!
Con este álbum, descubrí a John Farnham, compré este disco de oferta en 1990, el cantante me sonaba de "Little River Band" y me gustaba mucho, cuando vi el Lp a la venta, pensé: - Creo que este cantante es el de la little river band, y efectivamente así era, la canción "Age of Reason" se convirtió en mi favorita me cautivó desde el minuto 1, hoy en día sigue siendo mi favorita, y este disco algo muy muy especial para mi, porque me dió la oportunidad de conocer a John más a fondo, hasta el punto que hoy en dia, tengo toda su discografía desde 1967 a hoy, todos sus dvd's y videos, todas las bandas sonoras en las que ha participado con su voz, en vinilo y en cd, y todos sus singles 45, desde 1967 hasta hoy. sin duda John Farnham, es mi auténtico número 1 por encima de otro cantantes. Y todos, todos todos los días, escucho sus canciones desde 1990 hasta hoy, en mi spotify es mi artista récord, con más de 9.800 minutos escuchando la música de John Farnham, durante 2023, estoy a la espera de recibir el informe de spotify de 2024, pero será más o menos lo mismo.
Saludos a todos los aficionados a John Farnham, desde Barcelona, España.
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.

Cada vez que escucho esta canción , me emociono . Refleja bondad y pureza .Gracias John Farnham !

Ein Lied das meine Jugend geprägt hat. So wunderschön. Und immer wenn ich es höre muss ich weinen.
❤Happy Birthday John Farnham ❤Still have this album,great singer❤You learn everyday❤

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..
Exclusive Exceptional Entertainer.

This brings tears to my eyes. God I miss my youth 1980s/90's Australia.
This song was released 27 years ago but is so current now.
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.

Long live John Farnham voice and music
omg i was born i 82 and this song still gives me shivers!!! whispering jack you legend
Hey John! I love your song! It's me Alex from Bernkastel-Kues Germany!❤
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
One of the finest pieces of piano playing ever heard in a pop song, by the great David Hirschfelder.
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 😊❤️
..and even in 2024-this song is still soo relevantt-by what marks the closes-and at the same time-ushering in the Great Wave of ReNew-per the Downloads, In codings, Upgrades-and Vibrations-amidst Mankind. I'm
readying for the Age(s) of Reason(ing).. Surf's UP for🙏Enlightenment obtain i gain. thank you, j.f. resting in Paradise the Powerful..unforgetable voice-i Hear you❤
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
👌👍
Yeah I miss how things were it was all so good now it’s just a memory! We could go out anywhere and it was new and exciting now it’s just a different world 🌎 so sad I miss those days where no one felt entitled they just got on with life god I miss those days 🙏❤
My mum's favorite song♥️ speedy recovery john🙏
❤
It's very true Dear Sir this world very bad right now. Love from Fiji Islands 🙏💙🇹🇻
bula tau!!!
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.
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
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 most beautiful songs,where did all them years go .rock on John
Hello beautiful, I have seen a quite handful of your comment on my post uploaded on my business page, so I decided to create a more private page to appreciate those people whose comments and good wishes encourages me and I hope to bring you guys more... thanks a lot, I feel so honoured and blessed to have an amazing fan like you. ❤❤
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.
Should have 1.3 Billion views not million! ... The World NEEDS to hear this song!!!
omg i was born i 82 and this song still gives me shivers!!! whispering jack you legend
