So true❤

[@geerterri]

I'm in the US, 62 years old. I didn't even know who John Farnham was until a few weeks ago. While I was strolling the the LRB videos here I found one that I hadn't heard before "The Other Guy". I had never remembered hearing or seeing the front man. So, I started searching. Now I can't stop listening to the songs that he has sung. I wake up with the songs playing in my head, and go to sleep reluctantly because I have to stop listening. I don't understand why John never made it bigger here in the US. There are so many reasons for someone, or a group not to. But I feel that we are "less" because his voice is not one of our "background" voices. TG for KZbin, or I would never have found this music.

[@donbon4204]

john tried the US market but failed just like jimmy barnes another powerful vocalist whom teamed up with INXS for the song Good Times featured in a movie called "The Lost Boys" anyway my favorite song from john farnham/LRB is playing to win

[@crustydownunder]

John is 70 now, and I heard him sing all his hits recently in Darwin. He never missed a note. He sang them just like he always did them, pitch perfect. John Farnham is the least recognised and most underappreciated vocalist in the world. Not in Australia, we love him here. But throughout the world, he's mostly unheard of. Shame really. He is one of the best vocalists ever.

[@damiencerutti6269]

His only rival is Darryl Braithwaite

[@crustydownunder]

@@damiencerutti6269 I might have agreed back in the 70s, but Farnham, to me, seemed to just get better and better as he got older. The concert I went to in Darwin, where John did all his hits, also featured Darryl earlier in the night. Darryl had lost it. He couldn't reach the high note anymore, and, to be honest, it wasn't a good performance, very sad to see. I didn't appreciate John Farnham until about the nineties. And I can now truly appreciate just what a pronominal vocalist he was. I was a pretty fair vocalist myself - now in my 60s. But yes, back in the day, Braithwaite was pretty good.

[@theoriginalmakaaka101]

Wow, when John Farnham nails a song, he nails it. This song is awesome. Reading the lyrics, I wasn't thinking about romance though. I was thinking more about the attitude of this song. It makes me think we should all strive to live in a world without corruption in government. We start by removing corruption from ourselves. Hard? Yes, but what isn't hard? If life was easy it wouldn't be special. I believe we can do it and a positive attitude despite adversity is important. This song reminds you that there is an awesome aspect to life that we can all experience and that's what we should be striving for. Anything less is a let down to yourself and anything you value in life.

[@Applelikesme]

Heck of a singer but if you want to give credit to the lyrics do it to the original, Tom Kimmel. That despite being the writer of this song,and one hell of a singer too has only 1/10 of the views.

[@abigailknight5836]

I agree.. I seem to flow in and out of this mindset as I process which I experience as my normal. Its always a journey and at times , especially in the past I really struggled to see the fairness in life. Thankfully If you allow , as you have mentioned the universe will always provide you with that perfect moment of reflection which offers a beautiful new perspective ( growth) In that moment I smile whilst shaking my head at myself thinking “ how did I forget that I would be lead back to this happy balanced place once again !”😊

[@melissadinning6614]

I think the song is probably intentionally political, but to release it with a video as a political message would have been career suicide, and so the Visuals were intentionally twisted to show a ‘romance’ so as to not show favour to any side of politics?
