[@100reality2]

"my love of life gets stronger as the days goes by" you can tell this was written back when Australia was a good place to live.

[@andrewwhitbread9362]

In a younger mind.

[@mattpeters6120]

Back when Australia had culture and identity. Before immigration fucked it. Sorry but a facts a fact.

[@salazar_portugal-cc6ny]

yeah brother portugal the same,we had our costumes,culture,music,now satanic govs screwed us all, never late to unite, people got the power,not them!! united we stand! alone we fall!! hail victory brothers!!

[@briangandt8400]

Please appreciate how good you have it in Oz even today. I say that as a Yank who has lived there. I still keep in touch with friends there, and while you truly do have issues, it pales in comparison to us in the States. Feel free to communicate your concerns!

This song is from the Edge album. There's another track in this album called All The Same. John Farnham also features on that song.

Classic Aussie 80s rock. A great era that is sadly gone now.

This was a hell of a comeback single. And 2:09 - Farnsey - jesus christ what a voice on backups. There is something inherently likeable about Daryl Braithwaite. First songs I heard when I travelled in Sydney, Australia back in 88'.

[@simonhusseymusic]

He had a lot of fun recording the vocals Janice. We got him back for 'Rise" too.

You can really hear the Farnsey in it at 2:09

[@cobez6703]

Gee they were the good old Aussie days. Great place to live, great music. Daryl, Farnham, Boom Crash Opera, Hoodoo Gurus. Great live music in great pubs. Now look at the country. Such a shame. At least we still have these memories.

Belinda Jennings. Wow. All this time it was there yet I never knew. Thanks for that.

[@kierasthoughts2480]

John Fanrham did do the backing vocals on this song (and others of Daryl's). He is credited in the old CD booklet, which my mother has owned since the album was released.

[@adam872]

I had no idea it was John Farnham who did the backing vocals for this. They totally make the song IMHO. I also didn't know that KZbin guitar luminary Brett Kingman played on this album either and he's also fantastic.

[@charlieblack2634]

Friend, if you missed all Daryl did with Sherbet back to the early 70's YOU are in for a Wonderful Blessing: Start with Slipstream. I enjoyed my weekend with Anthology - listen to "Freedom" - the words are so VERY now. Then listen to Higher than Hope and Rise. Sounds to me like you just gained a whole WORLD of the best Australian band that has ever performed. EVER. I know that's a big call, but listen to Daryl in "Freedom" and do the air drums in the BEST drum solo ever and tell me I'm wrong Friend! Much Love and GOD Bless Daryl.

[@cobez6703]

Best days to be growing up in Australia!

Beautiful and powerful song from Daryl. Excellent album too.

[@vincepham2997]

This aussie dude became an individual household name for a new generation back in the late 80s. He had so many great hits (late80s - early 90s). This has got to be my favorite track of Darryl. What an aussie legend!

This could've been a massive hit in the UK 🇬🇧, the UK has no idea some of the Australian music that some of the Australian stars didn't release in the UK have missed out on.

[@alstrange6055]

I know right! I can’t believe ‘You’re the voice’ was the only hit off Whispering Jack. I rushed out and got ‘Age of Reason’ and was in disbelief none of the singles charted in the UK. UK charts sucked! No Jimmy Barnes, Icehouse, Southern Sons…etc!😢

LET ME BE is also brilliant, listen to the lyrics carefully and I think a lot of us could relate to them.

[@krestiannielsen230]

Saw him perform on danish TV2 in 1988 and I instantly feel in love with song - such powerful existential lyrics how you hopefully live and learn to apreciate life or else make a change - and I bought he album the next day. WOW still love all the songs but this is one of my favorites. From the comments I can see that John Farnham sings backing vocals another fabulous musician. I did not know that but thank you for letting me know. He was not on stage though when Daryl performed on TV in Denmark I would have noticed. It was playback but still awesome!

I'm watching this video in Ireland where Daryl Braithwaite is, admittedly not well known here. I came across this song from watching the film "Peter's Friends" years back. The soundtrack to the film is full of famous songs from Tina Turner, Bruce Springsteen, The Pretenders, Tears for Fears etc and this song is featured at the ending credits. The song along with the poignancy of the film's ending is a strong one. I bought it on Itunes and its on my Ipod. Its quite a Gem in Australia's musical arsenal, if I may say so.

[@angel_on_the_edge8084]

Loads more great tunes from the Oz stable too (Noiseworks/John Stevens, Jimmy Barnes, Choirboys....). So refreshing to hear different style than what we are used to here. I'm from Ireland too, been a fan of their music for nearly 30yrs. This song from Daryl is a firm favourite of mine for a long time.

Aussie Brothers and Sisters to prove Daryl was DECADES ahead of the rest, please give "Freedom" from Anthology Album a listen. This should be re-released (complete with Alan Sandow's MOST AMAZING DRUM SOLO EVER). In fact we could go back to Slipstream and re-release most every song and I KNOW everyone would fall in love with this music all over again. It is timeless, brilliant and unique. Now, go listen to "Freedom" and turn it up and have your "air drum sticks" ready to go! You WON'T be disappointed. WE NEED DARYL'S VOICE, THESE LYRICS AND THIS MUSIC IN AUSTRALIA NOW MORE THAN EVER!
