I'm watching, "John Farnham: Finding the Voice," & have lost count of the many times I've seen it. I'll never forget seeing John live in Brisbane during his Whispering Jack tour & also when he performed in Jesus Christ Superstar. I'll never tire of watching & listening to our Aussie icon & I'm just so grateful we were gifted with John's smile, his amazing voice & his immense talent. Sending so much love Johns way. ❤️🥰😍🫂🙌🌟❤️

Dad... I miss you so much :( You used to sing this to me all the time... Wish you never left. This one goes out to you..

Your Dad is still watching over you. I feel that way about my Mum who passed away in 2011.

this comment made me cry. I lost my dad 6 years ago. this reminds me of my mum and dads love.

[@Pebs_dandysworld_781]

Great song for a father/daughter bond. I noticed that your post was written 8 years ago. My dad's 10 year anniversary of his passing is a few weeks away but as you would know it gets easier but you still miss them as much as you did the day they went. Our song was Max Merritt's Slipping away who passed this week 😥. Isn't it wonderful to have classic songs like this for us to reminisce with. Love and sympathies to you ❤️

[@cathykeim1088]

I agree. There is a beautiful yet haunting quality to John's voice. I love this song, and each time I listen, it gives me chills. I remember when I first heard this song. Years ago, I was visiting a friend and she was from Australia. She put on a tape and it was your song. " Burn for you." I asked her to turn the volume up. I was mesmerized. I had moved from Ontario, Canada to California. My marriage had ended and I was feeling very alone. I want to say it made me feel better but it filled me with sadness at the losses in my life. Later, the sadness left, and I was just left with the beauty of your song, your voice. When I hear your song, I remember.

Couldn't agree more. He should of been worldwide with his music/singing. One of the best Male Vocalist (imo) even to the point of Freddie Mercury (another great Male Vocalist), Celine Dion, Tom Jones & others giving him huge praise for him vocal abilities

[@geitalew7677]

there is alot of great singers, but when it comes to pop/rock john farnham and freddie mercury stand above all when it comes to talent and the power in their voice.

My partner died in 2021, then she was rescued and revived, then she was on a coma for 10 days. There was no hope in life, yet by some miracle she woke up and she had to learnt to walk, talk, see, hear again. I helped her every step of the way because I love her more than life itself. Her story is coming out and I burn for her.

I fell in love with John when I was flipping channels one evening and landed on HBO.. They were showing a concert of Little River Band, not sure of the date but it was in the early 80's.. I have faithfully and avidly followed John's career and purchased each tape that came out and then each CD.. There is little doubt he has one of the finest voices of any male singer in the world.. Take this to heart, John, from a little old lady who lives in a tiny town in Eastern Idaho, USA.. You HAVE touched many, many more people then you could ever imagine with your beautiful voice..

[@Getintoenglish]

+Susie Hepburn It's nice with the internet that performers in other countries can reach you guys a little easier than before (John wasn't really known in the USA at all in the '80s but now some songs are spreading, which is cool..)

[@soundlightingservices2250]

Trivia: Classic beautiful looking clip shot by John Ogden. We filmed it in the old Melbourne Regent Theatre before its redevelopment. Even though it was long hours over the 2 days JF was such a pleasure to work with. He kept us all in good spirits joking around, but when it came time for his turn to be on camera "whew" what a powerful performance he gave. This song can still bring an emotional tear to my eyes.

[@brissygirl4997]

This was written for John's wife. Because he spent so much time on the road touring etc he was missing Jill so he wrote her a song with the help of some great Aussie songwriters.

[@2009captainpaul]

Hi Brissy Girl. You are close. I have it in good authority (mainly from Phil Buckles brother who I worked with in TV for a long time) that Phil Buckle wrote this song. The song was written from the point that Phil was away from his wife at the time for long periods performing with Southern Sons and also as guitarist/vocalist for John Farnham. Phil played the guitar on this recording as well as live. He also won an ARIA for this song which easily has to one the worlds most beautiful songs lyrically and instrumentally. Farnham’s incredible vocal rendition and Phil Buckle’s lyrics and beautiful guitar playing are what make this song as great as it is.

[@waynemanna1402]

@@2009captainpaul - added to that, I recall Buckle saying later that after he had been at the Farnham session, he made a decision not to sing his own songs again but to get his songs sung by better singers. The dilemma for him was that Farnham had brought so much more to the song than he had thought possible and way more than he could ever have brought to it. Perhaps not surprising when you are working with one of Australia's best contemporary singers and the songs are of such high quality. Farnham is such a great "interpreter" of a lyric.

I love all John Farnham songs, he's definitely one of our best ever if not the best. I particularly love his Man Of The Hour with Lindsay Field on back up vocals & Every Time You Cry with Human Nature. He is held in high esteem by International Artists for a reason, I think Richard Marx was one.. He's had the same musicians & back up singers forever meaning he's loved by everyone. Should have been an International success.
