Hard to imagine, stuff like this was coming out of the radio every day and these guys and other bands where played at venues all mover Melbourne, looking back it was a truly magical time,never thought it would end and thought it could only get better.Truly grateful I was born a boomer.
Oh Glenn Wheatley. I am heartbroken. This music was my introduction to rock at age 10 in Australia. Great musicand a great band. RIP to a wonderful man.
Glenn Wheatley yes loved him. Back in the days when Music was Good............ so glad that i grew up in the 70's. Thank you "The Masters Apprentices" RIP Glenn Wheatley, Jim Keays & Gavin Webb
The take on this I have is: Imagine loving someone in a way no one will ever love them again.. realising that you will never see them again... and being able to walk away without anger..,or bitterness. Its almost like Wish you well Bernard fanning vibes which is also definitely worth checking out if you aren't Australian and haven't heard it yet. Powerful. The 70's- Another time of innocence before ours in the 90's which was the last of the great relationship era's before the horrors of social media and rampant narcissism.
What terrible news; I knew Glen in the early years in Brisbane, and later caught up with him in Melbourne to introduce him to a songwriter. Great talent, great business man, and even greater individual! May Heaven's musicians welcome Glen with the wonderful Master Apprentice's music! Glen may you rest in peace, God bless your family.
One of my favorite songs of all time, not just Australian! A great song of love, separation, and independence, it's a bit of an anthem for me! I was 12 years old when it was released. Recorded at the famous Abbey Road Studios, the piano being played, although not shown in the video clip, is Paul McCartneys white grand. The blonde guy playing bass guitar is Glenn Wheatley (John Farnham's manager). Drummer is Colin Burgess, who became AC/DC's first drummer. The clip was filmed by Australian filmmaker Timothy Fisher and was shot on a freezing autumn morning on Hampstead Heath.
I was 11 at the time. Music in Australia today is a far cry from where it was in the 70s and even the early 80s. I'm not big on 80s sound and style, however, there were a few stand-outs. Too bad it's all gone now. The 70s were a great time to be alive in Australia.
I love this song as brings back memories and it shows how versatile the was to go from turn your radio up ,it's shows how much talent they had in those, and may he rest in peace
All that time I thought they were signing "Ooh , Do what you wanna do, Be what you wanna be, in the air!" . but it's actually: " Ooh , Do what you wanna do, Be what you wanna be, yeah"
GOD , ME AND JASON SURE DO LOVE YOU ... FOREVER AGAPE FOR YOU IS WE. AS ARE COLDPLAY, TAKE THAT, INXS, KYLIE MINOGUE , CHRISTINA AGULERI, ON AND ON , OH OUR TAYLOR SWIFT, OF COURSE, YAY... PASTOR BRUCE AND PASTOR BILL, YAY!!@

Soundtrack of my youth. This song is an absolute anthem.
Freaking awesome song.

Bernard Fanning's song 'Wish You Well' was definitely about his split with his partner at the time.

Colin Burgess is one of Australia's most underrated drummers. I love his drumming on this track.
