He kept trying to retire in Australia but we wouldn’t let him. He did so many “this is the last one” tours 😂 if he announced a concert today it would be sold out in seconds. It’s 4am in Australia and I woke up feeling “blue” with all the BS going on in the world and you just gave me 13 minutes of sunshine (and it’s pouring rain even) So grateful xx

[@that70sgirl17]

This is so true! Amongst my group of friends, when ever anyone says "this is the last time....blah blah blah..." someone will say "Okay John Farnham" :D

[@leannemayor5755]

I just said this on another reviewers channel . We all love John he is an Australian son and dearly loved and would we love him to pull out a concert now

Well said Mr Carman.

[@davidhaynes8745]

He wrote this song for his wife about life on the road without her.

[@muzzyahoy1489]

Actually, Phil Buckle, the guitarist in this video, wrote the song. He was in the band Southern Sons, and wrote this, but they had the song Hold Me in Your Arms, which the band thought was too similar

[@davidhaynes8745]

@@muzzyahoy1489 yes - Phil Buckle, Ross Fraser AND John Farnham co-wrote the song but it was John's idea/inspiration re life on the road and missing his wife which was the genesis of the song.

[@finnmaccool3385]

@@davidhaynes8745 Yes David, you are 100% right

[@aries898]

@@davidhaynes8745 yep- the first verse is definitely John’s words- the second and third verse we’re Phil and Ross…. But the first verse John has said was his especially the part where he says ‘don’t hang up again’ as his wife really wasn’t a fan of him being on the road for majority of the year

I recall once hearing an interview with Richard Marx who said John Farnham was the single greatest vocalist he’d ever heard

[@BMGYS]

Yes!! I remember that.

[@amishgirl1000]

Tom Jones said the same thing

[@jasonbrowne7057]

John Lennon also openly admitted that John Farnhams arrangement of Help is they way the Beatles should of recorded it.

[@konservation6205]

He wrote this song for his wife because he was touring so much at the time. Such a beautiful, heartfelt song.

[@manna6618]

Absolutely criminal this bloke couldn't get any airplay or recognition in the US purely coz they considered him 'too old'...in his thirties. :/ Aussie royalty, we love our Farnsy. X

[@ruthpmj]

1000% true

[@thejoycollective-liz7376]

It was also more that he didn't want to go to the US. He was offered so many times. But he just didn't want to go world wide. I also think he has a major fear of flying....

[@georgeibrahim7945]

One of the best live vocalists of all time, this dude is a powerhouse vocalist

[@DebraBing]

Ya know George, l'm almost as old as John, so l grew up with his songs, but it's only in the last 5 years or so that l've really started to appreciate how good he is, because KZbin has let me see and hear all his LIVE shows. So, so, so much better than studio recordings. I'm now completely in awe of him.

[@rickandersen2284]

I am really getting to admire....the way you break it down with songs we have been listening to and loving for years but you let us hear it again with new ears.

[@georgeibrahim7945]

100% agree it’s exciting watching him react and break down the performance

[@noway5347]

Yes..bringing me to tears....

[@ThatSingerReactions]

That's it man I just react and go off of how the song and vocal makes me feel. Sincerity is missing from many reactors. It's not that hard just react.

[@strayandrongo7461]

I completely agree, I called my old man the other night and said I remember all the songs from when he used to play them in the car, but I didnt realise just how good he was until I saw this singer do a great reaction to Help. I also didnt realise I would like a reaction video haha.

[@Noeline999]

Absolutely agree @Rick Anderson.

[@clairedresdon8785]

I hope one day John Farnham can see your reactions to his voice, so pure. We’ve loved him for decades. It’s nice to see a new audience discovering him.

[@milliechook7375]

I would say he has by now - two nights ago on the Channel 7 news in Brisbane they had a segment on how overseas reaction KZbinrs have caught on to John's music, and they showed 'That Singer Reactions' footage and a clip of this KZbinr discussing John's style.

[@ignatiusnoirant8174]

As an Aussie,,,we love our johnny. He truly is a national treasure ❤❤❤❤

[@lynnennis4207]

I’ve heard this song hundreds of times. Still get goosebumps listening to him sing. It never gets tired. Love it. Aussie fan 🇦🇺

[@dolfyn73]

Oh yeah, same here, big time!

[@WendyKay84]

I'm an Australian and I grew up listening to John Farnham, so I love him for his voice, charisma and the nostalgia, I guess, but until I started watching you reactions recently, I had no idea he also has a talent for writing and/or co-writing his own music. This song always got to me, because it's a beautiful ballad, and he infuses it with just enough grit to make it heartbreaking.

[@mssuziquzi]

That's why we call him "the Voice" here in Oz. He can sing any genre! He is a great guy and his concerts are phenomenal. He likes to have fun with his audience..

[@shanechis]

I feel so lucky to have grown up with John Farnham and Jimmy Barnes as the soundtrack to my life and many other Aussies would feel the same way. They are both so unique and special and giants of the Oz music scene.

[@amandamckenna]

'He can take you there' - that's about the best description of what Farnsey does I've heard yet. And you're absolutely right - he can belt it out with his ridiculous range enough to blast you into the stratosphere one minute, and sing so gently it's enough to bring you to tears the next. THAT'S talent. And, in his 70s now, he can STILL do it. Amazing performer.

[@vanessapedia]

The Greatest Male Vocalist I have heard and an absolutely Beautiful Human Being...I've had the Pleasure of seeing John live 3 or 4 times and he does not miss a Note...His Range, Control and Passion is Unbelievable...There is nothing he cant sing...We Love You Mr Farnham ...Great Video by the way...I Love that you are a Singer and can appreciate everything that is going on in John's Vocal Range...Keep Up The Good Work Man :)

[@RolandDeschain1]

Shows like American Idol have taught a generation of young singers that belting and decibels are what make you a good singer. John Farnham is an absolute master of his craft, and his vocal dynamics are second to none.

[@surviverskywalker6515]

John wrote this himself, he was missing his wife while he was touring and this is what he came up with.

[@ThatSingerReactions]

That's amazing

[@kipleybarrie5907]

He co-wrote it with Ross Fraser and Phil Buckle.

[@takermag]

That’s why u hear the emotion in the voice that song takes him to a amazing place vocally

[@emihatov]

@@kipleybarrie5907 I had heard a rumour once that before he wrote this song with them, he asked Ross Fraser why he (John himself) could never write a song, and Ross told him it was because he was just too upbeat and happy a person. He told him that he had to dig into himself when he was not feeling so happy.

[@devi_-]

@@emihatov I'm not sure about that, John has written other good songs he recorded before this one

Been a legend in Oz for over 50 years. His vocal control is sublime, his mic technique is peerless and he sings this song for his wife of nearly 50 years so the emotion is real. Check out his work with Little River Band as well.

[@maxpower1845]

I guess you have probably heard by now that John has had major surgery for cancer this week. Apparently the tumour was in his mouth and he has had part of his jaw removed. This was headline news in Australia, where he is so loved. Sadly this probably means very bad news for him ever singing again. Everyone is wishing him a full and speedy recovery. Get well soon John.

[@univerz1175]

Here in Australia he is known as John “The voice” Farnham

[@heatherb4918]

He can do it all, bluesy and slow and lovely ballads, and he can absolutely rock it out. Have a look at him singing Playing to Win for something of a different speed. John Farnham was one of the first live concerts I ever saw, back in the 80s. Still one of the best I've ever seen.

[@benguest6147]

Good reaction, you are seeing the heart of Australia. The hardest part for these guys is how much emotion and love they put into these performances and how little recognition they get for it, almost (and for some) like Vietnam vets❤️‍🔥. Brings them back to their core. That’s what your channel exposes for me as a viewer, good work I think you make a lot of people happy

[@shannonpincombe8485]

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Simple melody, honest lyrics and a damn good sing!!! My daughters love when I sing them this 'Touch of Paradise' and the Southern Sons mega ballads 'Hold Me in Your Arms' and 'You Were There'. Aussie bands wrote the best ballads. Check out the Southern Sons tracks. They are amazingly good.

The guitarist behind John just shared your video to his FB profile. It brought me here. John Farnham is an icon here in Australia. At the point this song was recorded he was already a 20+ year successful artist here

[@keithosborne197]

Thanks for sharing our love and admiration of our JF. I first saw him live when he perormed at Carols by Candlelight about 1972 (in Dandenong Victoria). Also a few concerts late 1980s, it was a Priveledge and a delight to be among 39,000 like minded fans. He gave it all every time. 🙏

[@bennine888]

One of my favourite all time songs. I remember him just sitting this on "Hey, Hey it's Saturday", no guitar, no band, no nothing. I would have only been a child but I remember being mesmerised by his performance. It gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. It's as about a beautiful a love song as your ever going to get. His stripped down voice & emotion brings tears to my eyes. Flawless. They're will never be another him. If he didn't get so much flack for too many "last tours" in retirement he'd still be going. Unfortunately I think he loves his farm & quiet life with horses now to ever get another tour. It's been far too long. I'd recommend watching "The Sound Relief Charity Concert with Coldplay & surprise guest our John Farnham singing his most popular song in Australia. It will give you goosebumps & you will see like no other Australian video can how crazy the live audience went here. It gives me goosebumps & Coldplay has said it was one of the most spectacular moments they've ever played.
