I’m a 72 old Aussie who has had JF and his music in my life, I can only describe the feeling listening to his voice and music as a joy no other singer can give. We all go through bad times in our lives, but when I listen to this man I’m filled with joy.The pain you have at the time eases away as you’re filled with a sense of comfort. I watch you react to John and your eyes give it away not just the tears, I see joy every time you watch him perform, I know because I’ve had that for 50 years or more. Thank you for sharing that joy with us ❤

I’m 42 and feel the same way mate

[@user-oh8cu5dw3t]

I cannot believe when I was younger that I was not a John Farnham fan, but as the years have rolled on, I have become his biggest fan. What a master of his craft this man is.

[@Bobbygirl63]

I love that John can do to you what he's always done to me, that he can move you with his songs, his voice, his performances and his messages. I'm a 70 year old woman, and have followed John right from the beginning of his career. I've been to all of his concerts that he's performed in South Australia, and some in Sydney, and he always blows me away at every one of them. I have copies of all of his concerts. I have a John Farnham playlist with at least 200 of his songs on it, and I listen to some of them every day. Even after all these years, songs and performances like this one move me to tears every single time I hear them. Thank you for this reaction. 💖💖

[@jeffwilson7100]

for most performers, singing is what they do. for John, it's what he is.

[@rickandersen2284]

He has no match.

[@briangill4000]

Hey Rick. Good to see your comment. I've missed you.

[@MargaretGuppy]

He is the GOAT. I am going (I just turned 67 yesterday) tonight, Mother's Day, to the Cinema in Shepparton, Victoria. Only 8 more hours to wait, but who's counting.... lol

[@vickiarchibald427]

I have seen the documentary and have been listening to John since Sadie. I listen to at least one song from John every day and the tears are always there. He is a beautiful human being and has the best voice. I love the man, his music and the people who are around him. He is a legend.❤🙏🥰

[@kenalcorn]

Sometime the joy of watching such a sincere performer, perform to his peak ALWAYS makes me think, at times I have something in my eye

[@marceloaguayo8391]

John Farnham is one of the greatest singers of all times hands down !! So glad the world is getting a chance to listen to him , we in Australia have been fortunate to grow up listening to him n when I was young I didn’t really listen to his music I was more into classic rock but now I’m in my 50’s n I can appreciate it his god given talent !!! John is our national treasure!!!XXX

[@treadingtheboards2875]

I'm a 78 year old Aussie, I have listened to John Farnham since the days of Sadie, During the 1990's, I used to do a jazz radio program with the minister that performed the marriage of John and Jill. By coincidence, it was the same church my first wife and I were married in about 5 or 6 years earlier. I have been to a few of his Melbourne concerts and thoroughly enjoyed them, even today, some of his songs bring a tear to my eyes,

[@noniprimrose833]

It is deeply satisfying seeing the rest of the world discover John. He is our treasurer. ❤ happy to be sharing him. Healed my broken heart in 1969 to one of his songs. Yep. He’s been singing to us for that long.

[@katrinamcintosh1607]

There will never be another John Farnham ❤

[@kerrylynch449]

Angie my love , let those tea rs flow. I'm a 63 yo man who can't listen to John without tearing up.

[@ronbishop3289]

John is a legend...the G.O.A.T!

[@ariadnepyanfar1048]

I have a playlist of songs that have made me emotional. Often I still have to play each song three times in a row before I move on to the next, because I can’t leave the space the song put me in yet. I’m glad you’ve found someone who moves you so much.

[@user-nu1os4xm8l]

I saw the documentary today in a Mother's Day special screening, and I loved every minute of it. I hope you get to see it in the near future. I'm glad that so many people from overseas are hearing his music now and are appreciating it as much of Australia has done for over 50 years. Thank you for all your reactions to his music.

[@ChrisL4034]

So did I and managed to blubber through the latter portion of it, so Angie is not alone when it comes to feeling the emotion.

[@mssuziquzi]

I’m going Friday with a bunch of my girlfriends and really looking forward to it.🥰

[@kathybaker3136]

I went to see the movie with my son on Mother's Day special screening. What a treat! I don't know why I cried a lot during it because it wasn't sad...but so very emotional. I have been a huge fan of John's for what seems like forever and will still be with my dying breath. He has made me so happy during my lifetime with his music and his AMAZING concerts. He owes me nothing, but I owe him so much. Thank you, Angie, for showing such emotion for our John ❤️❤️

[@lizann3058]

It was excellent! Even though it was about a musician with lots of music, you could have heard a pin drop in the audience. We are all in awe.

[@DaveWhoa]

John should watch Whispering Jack, it's good stuff! he doesn't know what he's missing out on

[@micko11154]

The King!

[@bernbee1679]

He does live every song he sings, spot on! I will be going to see the movie in Geelong Victoria within the next week or two ❤ I grew up loving John and it’s so thrilling to see so many people finding him 💐

[@michaellincoln3739]

This song definitely resonates with a soldier returning from war more than just a normal divorce. Although if the divorce meant you lost your kids as well that would be on target. A song about loss and terrible heartache, trauma and PTSD.

[@darrenwallace4431]

Hi ANGIE and Rollen. Im from Australia and have followed you since you started the channel. Have seen every reaction you have done on John Farnham and others.You guys are considered in Australia as one of us.Welcome to the family. In John Farnhams words " ALL OUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS". which includes you guys.. Your part of the fabric of Australia.. Sincere heart felt thanks for embracing our Aussie son. Love you guys, Your real and down to earth positive comments and the love and you give to others with the positive banter. That's the essence of Aussies. regards Darren

[@whiteapple2313]

This was one of his best vocals.

[@darrenwilkes5858]

His beautiful, powerful voice reaches right to your soul 😢followed by John's emotion... That's the difference between a singer just singing the words and a singer that feels the song and believes every word in it..... Absolutely loved it ❤

[@heatherwickstead7980]

I cannot get this song out of my head the last few days!

[@georgeibrahim7945]

Love this song and performance. John has always been a powerhouse but this is arguably one of his greatest vocal performances ever in my opinion

[@stephanielane1821]

I felt the same way as you did Angie, tear in the eye, he sings with his whole being and touches the heart, with unmatched vocals

[@wyattfamily8997]

John doesn't "sing" songs, he LIVES them.

[@joanmonaghan8428]

Love this version. So much passion!

[@jimlofts5433]

I hope some theatres in the USA show the john farnham biopic - Angie your batting a thousand on getting emotional with John farnham songs

[@carolynh8866]

I have watched John sing this song so many times. First with the Little River Band and then at every single concert I've been to plus televised versions and it never ceases to bring me to bring out emotions for me This is one of my favourite performances. The song comes to life with his vocals. Yes he does become the song. He was so lucky to have Steve Prestwich (drummer from the recently broken up Cold Chisel ) join him in the Little River Band, who along with John as the lead also recorded this song. The song has been a bit 3 times over. First for Cold Chisel, then LRB the for John. Ps I have my tickets and can't wait to see the movie. ❤

[@shoresaresandy]

I’m at the Cinema Carolyn, the doco is due to start in 10 mins, can’t wait!

[@micheleallen]

I have heard him say that he won’t sing a song unless he can “feel” the lyrics.

[@sueaddison9958]

I'm 67 and always loved John Farnham ❤ I can easily believe he's never watched himself performing🤗 when you realise how humble he is, it's not hard to believe. He's a beautiful human with the voice of an angel❤❤❤🌏🪐🌕🙏💜🇦🇺😎🌟🦘🦉🏡🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@glenndot6965]

Hey Angie and Rollen, just to give you an update on Farney's health. His son Rob has advised that he is cancer-free and taking walks with his dog and also he is actually SINGING around the house!! His documentary was also on our free to air TV station channel 7 last night so hopefully it will come to KZbin soon. ❤❤❤

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

When Freddie Murcrury passed away, Queen asked John to take over the lead vocals for them. He declined, because it would mean to much time away from his family. They understood that, despite John being their first choice. But they love him and do perform with him when they get the chance.

[@LizzieRD]

Expat Aussie here. Love your reactions Angie. Love JF. I'm rethinking the whole concept of this song. Always equated the Vietnam war with the lyrics, but i can see John's health trials taking a central role in the text. Layers go deep. Love his version even better than the Cold Chisel one, perhaps because I heard this one first. Keep up the great work. You're shining a light on a little piece Oz each time you react to these legends. .

[@AussieDebb]

Love your words Ange. He does give 200% ❤❤

[@bobarris]

I just love your reactions. You like John Farnham can move people. ❤

[@kimthompson4724]

Nailed it he does become the song

[@alimac1469]

The documentary is wonderful. I saw it yesterday. ❤ Rumour has it that Channel 7 here will be showing it in 3 weeks time, once the cinema run has finished. You might be able to access it.

[@berniceanne4959]

I get it.....I cried at the same moment as you cried as the song began. How lucky is the rest of the world to discover this special man we have loved for so long. .❤🇦🇺

[@darrenwilkes5858]

Every time you cry, i do 😢

[@cristiona22]

Dearest Angie 1 and 3/7th sugar here AKA Chrissie AKA . Your other sis ❤️. I haven’t seen the movie yet but will probably do so on Thursday as it’s out on general release here then. If I could, I’d take you along with me and I will be thinking of you when I see it. ❤️❤️❤️

[@annettelane]

He makes me cry too😢

[@rustyneyo9020]

John Farnham...Your the voice is the unofficial Australian anthem!!!

[@michellemicallef3250]

Hey Angie, have you seen the new 2-hour ytube John Farnham - The 25th Anniversary Celebration. I've grown up with John. I'm so glad you like him. I hope you see this. Michelle from downunder

[@kimstewart2930]

Saw the movie yesterday. Took my mum who has loved him her whole life. It was amazing but u do need tissues

[@Edwardsays]

Thank you John Farnham, thank you. Eternally grateful

[@MsFocksy]

Watched the movie yesterday and it was emotional damage in all the best ways. ❤❤

[@dondelbiondo1258]

You're not alone with your emotion... how about playing We Two with John and The Little River Band(1983)

[@micheleallen]

I agree We Two with John in the Little River Band is brilliant.

[@user-gn4ui3nd5l]

Love your reaction Angie

[@darrenwilkes5858]

Hi Angie, Wow what a beautiful, emotional reaction. As I've mentioned i first watched this concert when I was 15, it was very emotional and I've drawn on this song to help me through various life battles, now 50 i still can't watch it without getting emotional because you also reflect on John's health battles 😢... I juso wanted to reach through the tv and give you a big hug. If you don't get emotional watching this you have no soul 😢 Absolutely love your reactions Angie ,you're such a beautiful soul ❤️ 💖

[@gunlean7738]

There's IMHO a more impressive version he does when he is older with shorter hair & wearing a suit where he doesn't do it as easy as here & has to give his everything to the point where it looks like he's gunna blow a woofer valve..lol

[@davidcruse6589]

G'day I watch your site quite often with your other half You might be interested in having a look at this site She requested on your site but now started up one for John and Jimmy also cold chisel Dr kap is the site She has lots of older footage and different versions then other site some I've never seen even commercials he's done I know how much a fan you are and so is Dr kap so I thought you might be interested in so different stuff from these guys Cheers ❤️ 💯 your passion 🦘🇦🇺👍

[@beresfordthompson1370]

John does this great song, from cold chisel(Jimmy Barnes band), but I think John’s version is so much better, more passion and emotion. Although there is a better version that John does when is a bit older(50 odd I think) but this is still awesome. Don’t apologize for tears, John’s music and unrivaled vocal abilities hit you hard.

[@iceberg5220]

That's alright Angie. Use all the tissues you want. Just make sure you hide all the toilet paper away !
