Everytime I ear that song, I'm crying. This man was about to live on the street and he bet his life with that song. He was sooo right. He owns that song. No cover will touch it. A stadium song, like Queen would produce.

[@kimwallace5729]

The only person I have seen come close was Mitch Tambo an Aboriginal singer, he sang in his language and it was wow. And I think he sang it with John at one point now that was magic. I saw John live on stage in Melbourne late 1980s he was brilliant.

[@Cyannah117]

John is one of a kind! An Aussie icon and the pride of our nation. Who else would give up worldwide stardom to stay in his own country with his family? Even in his 70’s he was a force to be reckoned with. He is our heart and we pray for his recovery from cancer every day! ❤❤❤

[@Glenfern]

Your words made me cry Cyannah. So absolutely true. He is never far from our hearts. We're praying for you John. ❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@ibrstellar1080]

I never knew he had cancer so I hope he makes a full recovery but since the covid injections cancer rates have rocketed and some scientists are calling them turbo cancers but as ever mainstream media blank it.

[@margotdarragh3576]

So sad to hear of his terrible battle with cancer. I’m Irish and concur he is a legend in his own time and Your the Voice is a fitting anthem of our time.

[@frederickkarpinski8518]

John and his album Whispering Jack inspired me to a new phase in my life. Your the Voice is the best song ever sung. By any artist, anywhere, ever. The concert of his in Berlin still makes me cry. I saw him twice live, I will never forget, I cried during Your the Voice both times, I hope he lives to 200 years and inspires a new generation of people around all the world to fight tyranny, oppression and destruction of freedom. Long Live John Farnham and "Your the Voice". The anthem for all oppressed people in the world. Everybody, every oppressed person in the world, sing along "your the voice try and understand it"

Greatest performance of all time of the greatest song of all time. I miss the days when they used to put concerts like this on TV. And they would simulcast the audio on the radio as well. Being back the 80s! Live streaming is nowhere near as exciting.

Many years ago I was with the St.John Ambulance Operations Branch contingent that volunteered to care for the stadium crowd during a John Farnham concert. I had been at work all day, changed in St. John uniform and now with some of the others grabbing a quick dinner in the back stage cafe. In came John and some of the musicians. On their way out John kindly stopped by our table and chatted briefly. It was a wonderful night to remember.

@Ian Thompson I know jf was born in dagenham, the 145 bus from Leytonstone (where I live) in London serve the area but that doesn't change the fact that bagpipes are a Scottish instrument and a Scottish influence on the song

John Farnham the best ever Australian Pop Artist. You're The Voice sung by John has a driven force of power that lifts your spirits sky high.
