Omg I was 12 when this came out and have loved it ever since..❤

[@groover4293]

Totally forgot about this song. It's great to hear and see it again.

[@bossman1792]

What an amazing Aussie singer. Incredible voice.

[@scottmayger8361]

John Paul Young was great 💖 of a family man.and the indigenous voices in the background

[@kenc.d8200]

Brilliant song ( Soldier of fortune !) from the master John Paul Young !). Great voice awesome music and lyrics and the Australian outback and aboriginal dancers !( Great work JPY & Band are also awesome !)

[@waynedunn1108]

[@BakkiBoo]

TY for posting this one up!! Means alot to me ...[My 16 yr old son gets to see his mum prancing about in a film clip when she was younger!] lol Cant believe we did this 33 years ago! I was just a baby! Great working with JPY & the crew on this clip. Was the good work of Jame Bogle director :D Good aussie clip! :) Great song!

[@carriefawcett9990]

Bakki Boo awesome!! That must be so surreal watching this fantastic, poignant and rather haunting song and seeing yourself in it. You lucky lady!! Great stuff xx

[@elcaballoblanco9627]

Heard it on the radio the other day. Great track begging for a re-release. Ahead of its time. Great work to all involved in it's production. Proud of this little Aussie gem

[@bradthurkle7217]

Wow that would of been awesome to in a video clip like this. This was one of my favorite songs back in 83 when I was only 12/13 years old. I really love the instrumental. The didgeridoo is awesome. I love this video clip showing the Australian out back, the animals and the aboriginal people. Has a real Australian feel to this clip. Way before it’s time. Still looks fresh today standing up against clips quite well I feel. I wish more Australian artists would use the out back into there clips. I’m sure the country western stuff do.

[@bradthurkle7217]

Newromantic999 nawwwww cheers. Always wanted to write music but I find it very hard to stay focus. To much on me plate..

[@bradthurkle7217]

Newromantic999 I should hey👍thanks.

[@JCStorm76]

Underrated

[@chriskent3398]

I net JPY when he did a concert at Granville TAFE (he was an apprentice at this college). A nice guy and this is, in my opinion, his best song

[@bluecent]

One of his best. And not a Vanda and Young composition!

[@barbraabsalom4531]

Thanks for posting . This song was lost to history for some time as it wasn’t on his classic hits album , as already mentioned . I was given the single years ago but no record player for years . It has a great positive energy & vibe to me , love it .

[@SonicTheCoolKid]

I love the emus running!

[@brucelamberton8819]

I always thought this was an underrated song

[@samtoucan1346]

I remember this song. It was a fair hit in 1983, yet was overlooked for inclusion on his Classic Hits CD - which really annoyed me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@garryau9890]

Still lisning in Forster 2023.

Familiar country, along the rabbit proof fence, I've been fortunate enough to travelled in this country,east of Payne's find,, towards sandstone town,,in my teens,,

[@emmanueldunk8290]

Vevo needs to license this.

[@syngensmyth4587]

I just heard this song playing in a supermarket; had forgotten it existed. Was a better version than Manhattan Transfer.

[@TheSlipperyOtter]

Love this song. Is that The Pinacles in WA? Haunting place.

[@bradthurkle7217]

Love this song. I thought Paul Young done this one after all these years. Differnt guy hehe 😋

[@weareclouds]

Finally getting around to hearing this version. I am a huge fan of Marc Jordan. Who wrote this song and included his version on his 1987 album Talking Through Pictures.

[@waynedunn1108]

Quite a good track from John brilliant I don't know that it got much air play I bought the 12 inch possibly underated for him shows how talented he is not that his other songs don't

[@eyesee1212]

The reason the Kangaroo and Emu are on the Australia coat of arms is because they are two animals that are unable to walk backwards.

[@claudiamartinez2693]

Not sure exactly what this song is about,but love the 80’s sound!

[@romy4858]

Me too x

[@michelelaraia7358]

Some other songs rather than Love is in the air. First time

[@nev-sp5bs]

cool emus

[@grn02n87]

Happy 70th JPY

[@liemtuyetofficialchannel1294]

his low whispering hoarse voice sounds like David Bowie in some way

[@neilcook3401]

Pieces of ice...diana ross....also written by the writer(s) of this song.

One foot in front of the other one.

[@The_Deaf_Aussie]

Im hoping people here might help me. I remember when i was a kid, back in the mid 80's, I had this single of John Paul Young, after i watched him performed in a small restaurant in Perth, it has THIS song, and another. I cannot remember the name of the song, but its slow, and it has chopper noises in the beginning. I think its about Vietnam.. not sure.. Can someone help me what that song is? I like to look it up and listen to it again, for i liked that song also.

[@RefugeeInExile]

I think it’s the B side to the 7” of this

[@The_Deaf_Aussie]

@@RefugeeInExile I think so too..

[@RefugeeInExile]

@@The_Deaf_Aussie I think it might be called Renegades or Serpents it’s not serpents , sirens some one word title , haha it’s definitely one word

[@The_Deaf_Aussie]

@@RefugeeInExile Good lord.. Sirens sounds familiar.. lemmie check that one if there's one available on yootoob.

[@The_Deaf_Aussie]

@@RefugeeInExile hmm.. doesnt look like there is.. :(
