Daryl Braithwaite - The Horses (Video) | Reaction

[@lovemyrainydays]

This is another one of our "Aussie anthem" songs that everyone seems to be born just knowing, regardless of your age. Daryl's an old favourite, since the Sherbet days... I've always loved that unique distinctive tone of his voice - you can't mistake him for anyone else.

[@jemxs]

Just going to say that as well 😂

Every Aussie knows this song. Its part of our culture. Darryl is still performing today.

[@EarlJohn61]

Not every Aussie, but then I've never been part of the Pub Culture which fostered live music groups in Aus.

[@teresaclark3291]

The female vocals are the wonderful Margaret Urlich. A New Zealand singer. Love Darryl's voice..

[@jspettifer]

Great singer. Not her in the video though - it’s a model lip syncing.

I always assumed it was Wendy Matthews.

[@teresaclark3291]

[@star_fossil]

@@neilhadley4722 Similar, but Margaret has more of a trill.

[@trunkmunk3y]

Apparently, when it came time to shoot the video she was in London. She was getting her solo career off the ground and didn't want to be seen doing backup vocals as she thought it might affect her career so they used a model to lip-sync her part

[@peterjeffery8254]

Watching Nick getting exited listening to Aussie classics, never gets old.

[@joanround4976]

His backing singer in this great Aussie classic is Margaret Urlic who very sadly passed away this year. What a voice she had

[@joshkleine21]

I believe it is law in Australia that when this song comes on in a pub, everyone must stop what they’re doing and immediately start dancing and singing along.

[@jasonandbelindajordan5044]

Spot on Josh Kleine, how could you NOT!!👍🍺

Also traditional.... final song at weddings

Or any event really haha.

[@meganey2263]

Fun fact: John Farnham did backup on Daryl Braithwaite’s “As The Days Go By”

[@bradleymurphy9456]

and the song "All the Same" has Farnham in it too where he pretty much overpowers Braithwaite!

[@Rebecca.G]

The female singer is Margaret Urlich. She was born in New Zealand but moved to Australia in 1988

[@trenchy1990]

One Summer is my personal fav Daryl Braithwaite tune. Check it out some time.

[@kristinmartin2899]

I came for Braithwaite but just wanted to say the wild horses song you were singing at the start is the Rolling Stones

[@bshorrock69]

Harry Styles just did a concert in Sydney and sang Horses and Darryl Braithwaite was in the audience...

[@bradlaw8673]

You need to hear him live - incredible singer. Probably Australia's most underrated. He's beloved, but I don't think people fully appreciate his vocal ability.

[@PHILPOP2]

Not so much anymore

[@djizzah]

Underrated,wtf?? His band sherbert one of the top 2 or 3 bands in Australian music history!!

[@joshkleine21]

Correction. PAST vocal ability.

[@joshkleine21]

@@bradlaw8673 Why so triggered of someone disagreeing with you? It’s not “awful” to have a different opinion. It’s simply life. Grow up. ❄️

[@thehastywombat]

Another all time classic Australian song that transcends all generations. If this song is played, you can guarantee that everyone, especially the women, are going to start belting out the chorus!

[@lisalouao]

Start singing this and you will immediately be able to find and Aussies in the area because they will start belting it out back at you!!! Up there with Working Class Man, Run to Paradise, You're the Voice, Khe Sahn... I mean the list goes on but this is top echelon Australiana!

[@auntymoni8951]

Darryl is such a down to earth gentleman and well respected. Though he didn't get the same amount of "status" us other Australian male artists he still got legendary status in the hearts of many Australians.

[@jgsheehan8810]

Daryl is great. This and “One Summer” plus his newish song “Love Songs”. Plus his songs from his Sherbet days “Free the People” “You’ve Got the Gun” “Wishing Well” amongst many hits

[@allieg6401]

This is the most played song in Australia - I think that’s an actual statistic. A poll was taken and this song was played at every wedding, birthday, wake, party, pub crawl… if there’s a gathering it’s played or the nights not complete!!

[@nicolaj3294]

This song is legendary in Australia, reminds me of my childhood summer holidays at the beach.

[@rosslapthorne9692]

Every Australian pub, wedding or party ends the night with The Horses followed by You’re the Voice

[@evaadams8298]

Have to say I must be the only Australian who cannot stand “You’re The Voice”. To me it’s such a boring song. However love this song and love Daryl and John Farnham too ❤️❤️

[@jacqualynmcatee5074]

Funerals too

[@jamiehill4990]

Originally written and performed by Rickie Lee Jones (American singer). Always seems strange to me that it it was an American song that has turned into an anthem in Australia.

[@Ozvideo1959]

Although I liked RLJ's music, I wasn't a fan of her version of this song.

[@davidshakespeare4882]

And co-written with Walter Becker (From Steely Dan)

[@jamiehill4990]

Thanks David, I didn't know that

[@DougthebearRichards]

They sang this together once. Great.

[@susanstolle1669]

One of my favourite songs , it just makes you want to sing at the top of your lungs. The background singer is Margaret Ulrich a very underrated New Zealand singer.

They all look great, it's the Aussie lifestyle, sun, sand sea,it is a great place to live.

[@craigmartin3827]

Margaret Urlich providing backup. Love her soulful voice. Her debut album Safety in Numbers is worth a listen, especially the songs “Escaping” and “Only My Heart Calling”. Urlich sang the part of Mary Magdalene in the NZ production of Jesus Christ Superstar back in the 90s. Another great 90s female NZ recording artist is Jenny Morris (who earlier sang backup on INXS’ The Swing album). Three Morris singles worth your time (among many) are “You I Know”, “Break in the Weather” and “She Got to Be Loved”.

[@reggycide]

Definitely needs some reactions to Jenny Morris. Her pop-folk and some songs from her own pen and Paul Kelly was a fab recording artist.

[@dystar112]

Every generation of Australians comes to know this song 🎵 🌟💯😃💫

[@bshorrock69]

Horses - the last song of the night wherever you go - Prior to covid we even got the band on the Radiance of the Seas cruise to play it each night to finish off their set. When that song came on each night, all the Aussies finished their drinks and staggered off to bed. The cruise director couldn't believe it was that easy to finish the night, without dramas...

[@alibabaoofandangle]

*The Cox Plate horse race at Moonee Valley is not allowed to go ahead unless Daryl sings this before the race and is joined by 30,000 racegoers singing along! Goosebumps event when you are there.*

[@jadeitegray3531]

Every aussie knows this song and must sing it when it comes on

[@allisterdavidson9805]

Was so in love with this lady in the clip back in the day when I was a teenager. Her name is Gillian Bailey and she isn't singing really - the female vocalist was actually Margaret Ulrich. Margaret wasn;t avaliable to do the clip. Gillian became known as Gillian Vanilli due to the lip synching she did.

[@reggycide]

When Rickie Lee Jones performed this song (her song) in Australia she was stunned that the audience knew all the words and sang along. Daryl made it his own. It's not Margaret in the clip but it's her voice.

I'm sure you've done Daryl in His band Sherbert ( Summer Love )

[@stevefoulston]

Daryl Braithwaite (born 11 January 1949)[1] is an Australian singer. He was the lead vocalist of Sherbet (1970-1984 and many subsequent reunions). Braithwaite also has a solo career, placing 15 singles in the Australian top 40, including two number-one hits: "You're My World" (October 1974) and "The Horses" (January 1991). His second studio album, Edge (November 1988), peaked at No. 1 on the ARIA Albums Chart, No. 14 in Norway and No. 24 in Sweden. In 2017, Braithwaite was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame.

The female singer is Margaret Ulrich. Not sure if I've spelt her surname properly. It's not actually the woman in the film clip. She's got a great voice too. And there's no mistaking of the beautiful Australian coast line. Breathtaking isn't it. Daryl Braithwaite was the lead vocalist in an Australian band named Sherbet. You've done a reaction to them. Their best song would be Howzat. Great reaction yet again. Thankyou ✌

Fucking Horses! When I was working in a restaurant in Toowoomba we did a wedding reception. This was the couples song. The poor bloke on guitar must have played this 15 times for the drunk yobbos.

Someone really needs to get Nick onto "As The Days Go By" by Daryl Braithwaite, because there is someone he might know doing backing vocals in the chorus that he probably wouldn't be expecting, don't anyone blow the surprise who it is. Such a 90's Australian super ballad of a song.
