Daryl Braithwaite - The Horses || REACTION VIDEO

[@adamblack5374]

I love this song 🔥🔥🔥... Sunday afternoon, looking over the Australian land drinking a beer. This song hits when relaxing... 90s Australia, simpler times

[@mitchellbeston1033]

This song has become so beloved in Australia, that every year at the Melbourne Cup, Daryl is invited to sing this song as a prelude to the Cup. As for that deserted beach, we are not lacking those in Australia.

[@G.H.O.S.T.254]

Daryl was originally in a band called Sherbet. When they split he jokingly decided to have a half hearted try at going Solo. It actually stunned him that everyone readily listened and loved him as a solo artist. He has kept at it since and is well loved by all aussies. Australia is surrounded by hundreds of beautiful untouched beaches. With such a low population you will find many that people do not frequent.

[@briangill4000]

Going to see Darryl on Saturday night...can't wait

[@roxyc5345]

Crowds go nuts and we sing at the top of our lungs when he sings it live...still awesome after decades

[@Elle.G.74]

This video clip was filmed in Forster on NSW's mid-north coast, which is 3-4 hours north of Sydney. We have some very beautiful coastal beaches.

[@TheDegan79]

Shhh!!! Keep it quiet. Don't tell everyone. Let all the fools go to Bondi.

Aussie summer🏖

[@BRONWENYOUNG-WHITFORDE-cb8jc]

We're an island😂 Plenty of empty beaches...❤

[@TheNotedHero]

His song "One Summer" is pretty much classic summer vibes for me! Love that song! As for our beaches, if you visited one per day you'd get to see them all in just 30-ish years! 😂

[@rossalynsmith5253]

Daryl wrote One Summer

[@barnowl.]

A beach in Eastern Gippsland in the state of Victoria, Australia in named the NINETY MILE beach and it is that long.

[@kazz3956]

RIP Margaret Urlich, the backup artist from NZ. As others have advised you, Darryl was in Sherbert, another band from the 70's. Hoever he was also in Company of strangers in 1992.

[@grahamejohn6847]

There are lots of beaches in Aussie w/out people on them . Lots of beaches but not a huge population.

[@nirvanaa5556]

and unlike Southern California, the ocean is not littered with oil rigs.

[@kevo6190]

You could check out one Aussie beach per day and it will still take 30 odd years to see them all.. secluded beaches everywhere down here. Even on the east coast you can still find your own personal beach if you know where to look. Loving your reactions mate👍

[@dee-smart]

Australia is the perfect place to find lots of coastline without people. There is anything from 12,000 (official count) but debatable to 15,000 beaches and 37,282 miles of coastline. Most people overseas only know a few inner city Sydney beaches like Bondi, Manly, Dee-Why. And they know the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast with the skyscrapers in Queensland. But yeah, heaps of beaches without anyone. Darryl was lead singer of the 1970s group SHERBET. Actually 1970-1984.

[@maryhanrahan]

Fun Australian fact - as far as beaches/coastline - if you visited a new beach each day in Australia it would take close to 30 years - that will give you an idea of the amount of beaches - we don't share a border with any other country - We are a continent, country, island

[@Reefsider-fq4sk]

Mike there's nearly 12,000 listed beaches, (more not counted). They say if you visited 1 every week it would take 226 years to see them. So it's easy to find a secluded beach in Oz.

[@joannemurdock7899]

Thank you, its a beautiful song and video❤

[@stevefoulston]

Hi good sir Australia is home to 11,761 recorded beaches, spread over an ever-changing 50,000+ kilometres of coastline. That's so many beaches that it would take you roughly 226 years to see them all if you visited one per week. Yesterday in Penrith Australia my home town it was 30 degrees Celsius that's 86 Fahrenheit in your language and its nearing the end of winter looks like we are heading for a Texas summer you have a safe and good day remember a police office main task is to return home safe to your love ones. Peace out.

[@carolcarol3938]

Met Daryl when he came into work one day. This song is an original by one of my favourite artists (American) Rickie Lee Jones, but has become more well known by Daryl's version. Sherbert, with Daryl, was part of the soundtrack of my early years.

[@CooranbongDave]

Thanks for reaction to my request Mike Glad you enjoyed it Every Aussie knows the song And by the way there are many beaches that don’t gets crowded over here Cheers Dave from Cooranbong

[@continental_drift]

A quick note, the girl is a model, miming the words. the real backing singer was Margaret Urlich (RIP) from NZ, a good artist in her own right.

[@andrebarter6358]

Daryl Braithwaite has a great song called “As the days go by”, John Farnham sang backing vocals on the song in the chorus. It’s was unbeknownst to a lot of people for years that John sang on that song, but it a good song to check out.

[@kathytrembath5748]

At my kids highschool, at every sports day one of the teachers would play this song. All the kids would sing along and it became an anthem for all of their major events. Amazing to hear all the kids singing to a song that was big when i was their age.

[@stevefoulston]

Just a side note Texas is a rural town also in Australia and is locality in the Goondiwindi Region of Queensland, Australia. It is on the Queensland border with New South Wales. In the 2021 census, the locality of Texas had a population of 790 people. Peace out.

[@SilverPop28]

Hi Mike, new subbie here from Australia. My recommendation for a reaction video would be Boom Crash Opera, Onion Skin. Loved this post.

[@jacqualynmcatee5074]

We have a coast right round our country 😉 I went to quiet a funerals in the 80+ this was played I think this a version of a American country song

[@FullBoarSR]

Gday Sheriff Mike, great tune, seen him sing it live a lot of times, Braithwaite credits John Farnham for inspiring his solo comeback just b4 this song.. keep pumping them out mate.. cheers Ambo

[@joanmonaghan8428]

Love this song. Daryl is a terrific singer. Daryl and John Farnham are buddies and John sang backup on a lot of the songs from this album.

[@thereseelizabethries1083]

We actually say it as Braithe(not as in 🫁 breath) waite lol

[@DavidPola1961]

Australia has more than 10,000 beaches if you visit a different one each day it will take you about 30 years , the beaches outside of towns and cities are mostly empty , or maybe the odd fisherman .. Daryl Braithwaite was a 70's POP idol with the Band Sherbert

[@macman1469]

11 761 beaches in Australia. So you can always find a secluded beach somewhere.

[@artistjoh]

This song is heard at weddings, baptisms, birthday parties, anniversaries, and all sorts of other events. The song went 10x Platinum. That beach is about 200km north of Sydney. It is called Sandbar beach, just south of Forster. They shot the video in 14 hours starting at 4:30am, and finishing after 6 that evening. Daryl had a gig in Sydney that night, so they wrapped the filming then the helicopter flew him directly to Sydney for his gig. Forster is an area with miles of wonderful beaches, which is why there was no one else there that day. Sandbar is out-of-the-way, and there are easier-to-get-to beaches. It was a hot day in the middle of summer, and Daryl said he arrived at his gig sunburned and suffering from heat exhaution, but the show went on.

[@justabloke1806]

There are literally thousands of klm of beautiful empty beaches around Australia.

[@garycollinsimabigfan342]

Hi from Sydney plenty of empty beaches here buck we have 10 thousand of them

[@turdferguson400]

I had planned to request this song! I love it so much. 👍🇦🇺❤️

[@jenniferanderson1499]

G'day Mike. Always loved this song about the protectiveness of a father for his child. Mike, you seem to have cracked the reaction code. There's no pretence, you're honest without exaggerated reactions, and I am constantly surprised and moved by the direction your thoughts take you, the way you tie your reflections to your experiences. And yet you never make it about yourself, it's always about the music. You seem to have gathered a wide range of subscribers with a wide variety of preferences - I wish it wasn't just us antipodeans that appreciate you.

[@tonysmith8379]

Great song. Thanks

[@CliveWebbAustralia]

Hi Mike. How would you find a coast without people Lol... There are11,761 recorded beaches in Australia, and so it's not real hard to find one to have all to yourself. I think you need to visit Australia. It might just surprise you how different to the USA it really is...

[@SonofBuck-f7z]

lol. Yeah, if that was the USA, there wouldn't be any coastline that folks hadn't built right up to the water.

[@CliveWebbAustralia]

@@SonofBuck-f7z That will probably be the same here one day, but because of small population there's more uninhabited beaches than a person could visit in a lifetime. PS: You really should come for a holiday...

[@CoolCoyote]

1 of the best songs period

[@daveoreillyguitarist]

Driving song. And sung by the hawthorn football team after a win.

[@PryceMortensen]

You can find many beaches around Australia with no one on them we have over 30.000 beach’s around Australia if you visited one beach per day it would take over 30 years to see them here was also lead singer of a band called sherbet

[@antheabrouwer3258]

One of my favourite songs. Was going to request this too!!

[@veaton77]

Harry Styles has performed this song multiple times and is a huge fan of Daryl. Daryl and Harry performed this song together at Harrys last Aussie show in Sydney in 2023. Was awesome!

[@justlinsu]

Well we are an island continent and the masses live on the coastline....we are about the same size in area as the USA but only a population of 27 million. This was Darryls biggest hit here...and is a fav for millions.... Thanks again Mike for a great reaction.

[@JennyMillikan]

Hi Buck i have sung this song to my daughter since she was a baby, 34 now, my Mum used to take us to beach before school and watch the waves she use to say they look like wild white horse's running on the beach. RIP Mum

[@royferntorp]

This song means a great deal to me

[@MrGluey666]

Australia pretty much has beaches to ourselves like this all the time

[@parko1308]

just wondering, have you told you're work mates about the KZbin channel you have? and if so, have you introduced them into the music that you have been listening to from Australia? . just curious.

[@SonofBuck-f7z]

No, I haven't. I am the boss, and I wouldn't want them to think they "HAD TOO". I feel I should keep professional and personal life separate.

[@joreilly3354]

Wise man, Mike…but maybe once you’ve retired it’s a nice way they can keep in touch with you?

[@LeighPennington]

I have heard,if you visit one beach a day in Australia it would take around 30 years to cover them all 👍

[@jenimcniven8704]

song originally recorded by Rickie Lee Jones and written by her and Walter Becker

[@leandabee]

Not one body doesn't get up to dance to this if it's playing at a pub, wedding or wherever. It's just one of those songs that we all love. Daryl has been around since the 70s firstly front man for the band Sherbet, the big song from them was called Howzat. The artist that sang with Daryl in this song was Margaret Urlich, beautiful singer in her own right 👌.

[@Davo-i1s]

Mike apparently there are 11,761 beaches spread over 50.000 km (30,000 miles) of coastline in Australia the majority of them you are probably going to find that you have the place to yourself.

[@melissajursa3748]

Australian has over 10,000 beaches so plenty of vacant coastline to enjoy

[@gavinmclean3174]

Well he had his pick really, there are over 10300 beaches down here so it's not hard to find a quiet patch of beach.

[@alyciasmith1964]

Trivial fact: Australians will sometimes call a horse a "brumby" (especially if it is feral).

[@jemxs]

Darryl is a fantastic singer, love this song.

[@Bobtubeau]

Pub classic.

[@stevep2430]

Australia has more beaches that you can poke a stick at, most beaches are in isolated areas and most of Australia is isolated.

[@lesliedavis2185]

Australia has a lot of beaches, one a day and it would take many years to visit them all. I live right near the beach, but inner city do a few m ore people. You need to try. Nz. For a really deserted beach. Good voice hey.

[@davidcruse6589]

G'day mike It's not hard to find empty beaches They say to visit every aussie beach It'll take you 30 yrs as there are so many If you go to some in the larger cities Like bondi beach in nsw then they get crowded It's where alot of tourists go as well There's a show called Bondi Beach and about life savers How they patrol the beach and rescue drowning people all day Cheers mate

[@antheabrouwer3258]

There is loads of coastline in Australia so if away from major cities or tourist spots, will be vitually empty!

Personally, I prefer him singing One Summer, or maybe I just want to fly away! It was a nice video though, worth watching! 👍

If you visited a different Australian beach every single day, it would take you more than 32 years to see them all…

Hey Mr Son of Buck, according to the comments, this song is loved by all in Australia. Very not true. This is a cover and a whole lot of fellow Aussies can not stand it. It has been played to death in this country and I and many others could never understand why.
