He kept trying to retire in Australia but we wouldn’t let him. He did so many “this is the last one” tours 😂 if he announced a concert today it would be sold out in seconds. It’s 4am in Australia and I woke up feeling “blue” with all the BS going on in the world and you just gave me 13 minutes of sunshine (and it’s pouring rain even) So grateful xx

[@kelloneill74]

This is so true! Amongst my group of friends, when ever anyone says "this is the last time....blah blah blah..." someone will say "Okay John Farnham" :D

Well said Mr Carman.

[@konservation6205]

He wrote this song for his wife because he was touring so much at the time. Such a beautiful, heartfelt song.

[@davidhaynes8745]

He wrote this song for his wife about life on the road without her.

[@muzzyahoy1489]

Actually, Phil Buckle, the guitarist in this video, wrote the song. He was in the band Southern Sons, and wrote this, but they had the song Hold Me in Your Arms, which the band thought was too similar

[@davidhaynes8745]

@@muzzyahoy1489 yes - Phil Buckle, Ross Fraser AND John Farnham co-wrote the song but it was John's idea/inspiration re life on the road and missing his wife which was the genesis of the song.

@@davidhaynes8745 Yes David, you are 100% right

[@aries898]

@@davidhaynes8745 yep- the first verse is definitely John’s words- the second and third verse we’re Phil and Ross…. But the first verse John has said was his especially the part where he says ‘don’t hang up again’ as his wife really wasn’t a fan of him being on the road for majority of the year

It was also more that he didn't want to go to the US. He was offered so many times. But he just didn't want to go world wide. I also think he has a major fear of flying....

[@georgeibrahim7945]

One of the best live vocalists of all time, this dude is a powerhouse vocalist

[@DebraBing]

Ya know George, l'm almost as old as John, so l grew up with his songs, but it's only in the last 5 years or so that l've really started to appreciate how good he is, because KZbin has let me see and hear all his LIVE shows. So, so, so much better than studio recordings. I'm now completely in awe of him.

[@rickandersen2284]

I am really getting to admire....the way you break it down with songs we have been listening to and loving for years but you let us hear it again with new ears.

[@georgeibrahim7945]

[@noway5347]

Yes..bringing me to tears....

[@ThatSingerReactions]

That's it man I just react and go off of how the song and vocal makes me feel. Sincerity is missing from many reactors. It's not that hard just react.

[@strayandrongo7461]

I completely agree, I called my old man the other night and said I remember all the songs from when he used to play them in the car, but I didnt realise just how good he was until I saw this singer do a great reaction to Help. I also didnt realise I would like a reaction video haha.

[@Noeline999]

Absolutely agree @Rick Anderson.

[@WendyKay84]

I'm an Australian and I grew up listening to John Farnham, so I love him for his voice, charisma and the nostalgia, I guess, but until I started watching you reactions recently, I had no idea he also has a talent for writing and/or co-writing his own music. This song always got to me, because it's a beautiful ballad, and he infuses it with just enough grit to make it heartbreaking.

[@clairedresdon8785]

I hope one day John Farnham can see your reactions to his voice, so pure. We’ve loved him for decades. It’s nice to see a new audience discovering him.

[@milliechook7375]

I would say he has by now - two nights ago on the Channel 7 news in Brisbane they had a segment on how overseas reaction KZbinrs have caught on to John's music, and they showed 'That Singer Reactions' footage and a clip of this KZbinr discussing John's style.

[@lynnennis4207]

I’ve heard this song hundreds of times. Still get goosebumps listening to him sing. It never gets tired. Love it. Aussie fan 🇦🇺

[@dolfyn73]

Oh yeah, same here, big time!

[@mssuziquzi]

That's why we call him "the Voice" here in Oz. He can sing any genre! He is a great guy and his concerts are phenomenal. He likes to have fun with his audience..

[@biancaberwick5950]

This is one of my favorite songs … I’m so appreciative of u recognising of Johnnies talent xxx ❤❤❤❤❤

[@KAM66300]

You are so right about singers who over sing the song to showcase how high, powerful or low they can go, instead of just singing it with the appropriate tone and emotion. All the extra twiddle-dee-dee stuff often causes the message of the song to be lost. John Farnham knows when to pull out all the stops vocally, and when to pour on the emotion so it hits the listener in the feels. That is why he is so good!

[@wattiewatwat]

Brother I've seen hundreds of John Farnham reactions, but you're the first one I've seen sing the lines. You're incredible in your own right!

[@RolandDeschain1]

Shows like American Idol have taught a generation of young singers that belting and decibels are what make you a good singer. John Farnham is an absolute master of his craft, and his vocal dynamics are second to none.

[@amandamckenna]

'He can take you there' - that's about the best description of what Farnsey does I've heard yet. And you're absolutely right - he can belt it out with his ridiculous range enough to blast you into the stratosphere one minute, and sing so gently it's enough to bring you to tears the next. THAT'S talent. And, in his 70s now, he can STILL do it. Amazing performer.

[@shanechis]

I feel so lucky to have grown up with John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes as the soundtrack to my life and many other Aussies would feel the same way. They are both so unique and special and giants of the Oz music scene.

[@andreahutton5305]

He takes you along on his journey. You feel everything he was feeling when he wrote these songs. Amazing performer.

[@cynth68]

[@michellebarry9617]

We loved him even more for loving his wife with such intensity. True national treasure.

[@surviverskywalker6515]

John wrote this himself, he was missing his wife while he was touring and this is what he came up with.

[@ThatSingerReactions]

That's amazing

[@kipleybarrie5907]

He co-wrote it with Ross Fraser and Phil Buckle.

[@takermag]

That’s why u hear the emotion in the voice that song takes him to a amazing place vocally

[@emihatov]

@@kipleybarrie5907 I had heard a rumour once that before he wrote this song with them, he asked Ross Fraser why he (John himself) could never write a song, and Ross told him it was because he was just too upbeat and happy a person. He told him that he had to dig into himself when he was not feeling so happy.

[@devi_-]

@@emihatov I'm not sure about that, John has written other good songs he recorded before this one

Amazingly the best thing about John Farnham isn't his voice, its his personality.. He is such a nice bloke, talk to anyone, very funny.. Very humble, been married 1000 yrs lol.. Barnsey is the same.. Met them both many times.. John does a little duet with Tom Jones on Hey Hey Its Saturday, truly a beautiful duet, you'll also get to see a little of Johns personality in it.. Really enjoyed your reaction mate good job..

[@nigelyorkshiremanwadeley6263]

Been a legend in Oz for over 50 years. His vocal control is sublime, his mic technique is peerless and he sings this song for his wife of nearly 50 years so the emotion is real. Check out his work with Little River Band as well.

He can do it all, bluesy and slow and lovely ballads, and he can absolutely rock it out. Have a look at him singing Playing to Win for something of a different speed. John Farnham was one of the first live concerts I ever saw, back in the 80s. Still one of the best I've ever seen.

[@allysmith2284]

Just finding your videos here in 2022, John has just had jaw surgery to remove a cancer 😳 but I grew up with this music and I know every word of every song he’s ever performed and not because I am a “huge fan” but becUse his music is transformative. It has a way of imprinting in your mind and memory the minute you hear it and John’s voice is like no other…. I think he’s even better live then he is in recording!

[@rickpratchett6758]

I saw John Farnham in concert once at the Sydney Entertainment Centre, a venue which could hold 12,000 people. The place was full and yet... Farnham's rapport with the audience was so strong I felt like I had wandered into a backyard barbecue with a few close friends and he was there singing just for us. He gave us all a very warm and intimate concert experience- very hard for an entertainer to achieve in a crowd of 12,000!

[@bennine888]

One of my favourite all time songs. I remember him just sitting this on "Hey, Hey it's Saturday", no guitar, no band, no nothing. I would have only been a child but I remember being mesmerised by his performance. It gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. It's as about a beautiful a love song as your ever going to get. His stripped down voice & emotion brings tears to my eyes. Flawless. They're will never be another him. If he didn't get so much flack for too many "last tours" in retirement he'd still be going. Unfortunately I think he loves his farm & quiet life with horses now to ever get another tour. It's been far too long. I'd recommend watching "The Sound Relief Charity Concert with Coldplay & surprise guest our John Farnham singing his most popular song in Australia. It will give you goosebumps & you will see like no other Australian video can how crazy the live audience went here. It gives me goosebumps & Coldplay has said it was one of the most spectacular moments they've ever played.
