John Farnham - Please Don't Ask Me

[@renb6133]

We all know that John has an amazing voice, however, more than that, he has an absolutely wonderful ability to interpret & emote the meaning of the lyrics. There are lots of amazing vocal show ponies, few have John’s ability to actually live & breathe the lyrics. I’ve no idea how John never became world famous. He’s got it all - he’s a good looking guy, he’s got an amazing vocal gift, has incredible interpretative abilities & is an all round lovely person. We’ve got a treasure in our John. Simply one of Australia’s most outstanding artists. We love you, John! 💕

[@Surewhynotthen]

I'm so sad he's not well. Thank you for writing such beautiful words about him.

[@BrianMitchem]

Oh, he's famous all right.

[@WylieKiote]

You forgot to mention his breathing & diction, I haven't heard any of the show ponies with that! You never hear him breathe & every word is crisp & crystal clear. When he went looking for fame internationally they all said he didn't have what it takes for their markets, yet the trash that they turn out & make millionaires are so full of themselves & can't hold a candle to this man's talent. So he said feck em all, I'm loved here at home, & here at home I will stay, & he's given us everything he is, & we adore him for it. Kudos to Jill & the boys for sharing him with us all these years, you're one hell of a woman Jilly, thank you 😘

THE VOICE 🙌

[@annewandahl8420]

What do you mean, he’s not world famous? I’ve been a fan for close to 40 years, and I’m from Denmark and know for certain that I am definitely not the only Farnham-fan in my country. We like australians and would love for your great artists to perform more often in our region of the world. John Farnham is more than welcome, and Daryl Braithwaite too for that matter, if they are up for it. Hopefully John Farnham will recover fully and be able to sing and perform again soon

[@CheryllGamgemi]

I can't stop playing this song,it really pulls at my heart strings. You are a ledgend John.❤❤❤❤❤❤

One of the greatest voice in Australia. ❤ i grew up with John voice.

[@ultravenia]

Wow, An American just discovering this amazing voice. This is one of those few that can literally sing anything. Bravo Mr. Farnham!

[@juliesenior2252]

I met you John at a caberet in a little town in Tasmania at Savage River in 1973 I was 8 months pregnant with my first daughter and she was born with blonde hair and I told her that was because you kissed my belly. I remember it like it was yesterday. Love you xxx

[@TheKrispyfort]

That's a beautiful piece of personal lore for you and your daughter to have ❤

[@emybais7426]

Listening over and over again and it really breaks my heart.

John Farnham has an extremely beautiful powerful voice! Please Don’t Ask me is one of the best songs ever recorded.

[@oliviamareetarantola9779]

I am so shocked to find this amazing song , so many emotions in this.Legendary status this great Australian has

[@mauimistula9002]

Farnham's voice is like a symphony... This songs reminds me of you-know-who-you-are... You made me feel so loved yet we both belong to someone else, so #PleaseDontAskMe why I am still in love with you.

[@paulokelala892]

Wow. Thats beautiful

[@TheLeilacorres]

How sad

[@jeanalfonso5840]

@John Farnham I love this song so much and most specially the way you sung it

[@suzyfarnham3165]

@John Farnham John Farnham DOES NOT HAVE ANY social media. Stop pretending that you are John.

[@katetwohig869]

I can never get over just how good you are, John. Stunning control and power, simply the best Australian voice ever. Thank you mate for always giving your best. I used to ride my bike past your house when I was 15 hoping to catch a glimpse of the kid everyone was talking about who got up at the local dances & sang with the band. I guess that makes you my hero.

[@katetwohig869]

@JohnFarnnhamTV Thank you for your reply, it means something. xxxxxx

[@kylies771]

Absolutely absolutely beautiful song. Tears 😢me up every time I hear.

[@Phils_Photos]

My bucket list includes seeing the Mr John legend Farnham singing this live. Only problem is I would need to hide in a corner so no one see's me cry listening to the words. Wow, I wish I wasn't such a suck.

[@brissygirl4997]

Try listening to Burn For You, it was written for his wife and just as poignant as this song imo.

[@annawan2518]

This is my favourite song from John Farhnam and silent night it gives me chills.

[@brissygirl4997]

It's one of my favs, but my all time favourite Farnham song is Your The Voice.

[@pamelabrammer6929]

Never heard this song before today. Now on repeat. Absolute goosebumps😀

Great great song sung by an extraordinary talent. As an Aussie..i could not be more proud of John... 🇦🇺👋😀

[@icyhugs]

I first heard the song via Luke Kennedy's version in Voice Australia and I thought it's very heart aching, but this originial proves too much for me! I am speechless! This must be the best/worst song about friendzone for a man, while women have 'On My Own' from the musical Les Mes!

[@alstrange6055]

No one, and I mean NO ONE, can match the Voice God!! 🎤👌🏻✌🏻

Such a beautiful song and what a powerful voice this Singer John Farnham has, indeed! But i remember watching on TV and i think this must have been 3 years ago, there was a Contestant from a Singing Contest called Tawag ng Tanghalan held in the Philippines, his name is Eric Ben Gayomali...i thought he really nailed this song? You can check his awesome rendition on utube should you wish?

[@roddrysdale3317]
