Daryl Braithwaite - As The Days Go By

[@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!

Lots of found memories here in the states listening braithwaite. He wasn’t as famous as he probably was in Australia but i sure loved his stuff. I have lots of fond memories of being young and in love while listening to his music.

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.

[@frankvaughan1493]

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.

[@flitz80]

Is he In the film clip?

[@alejandrochavez9694]

Bittersweet listening to this. Just reminds us of everything we have lost in this country through rampant immigration

Discovering Farnham did the backing vocals is the cream on top of this song. How awesome!

[@29qbringiton86]

Back when oz wz in its time of peace✊✌..man I miss the 80s early 90s

[@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!

[@janiceR21]

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.

[@SpottoBotto]

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

[@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!
