Thank you for the respect for John, we call him The Voice in Australia. If you watch this video again, if John screws the mic stand, he is just about to throw it in the air and catch it. He does it twice in this song, although the camera doesn’t show the first, you just see him holding the stand at the base.
I am so happy you are enjoying listening to our very favourite Aussie performer. John is loved so much in Australia. Keep spreading the love ❤️ Some good ones for you to discover Playing To Win Burn for You When Something is wrong with my Baby Chain Reaction Please Don't ask Me Have a Little Faith It's a Long way to the Top Amazing Grace And so many more
If you go back to the 5:03 mark and watch John you will see him throw the microphone stand up in the air and catch it and then throw it to the side. He is the master of a performer.
I loved seeing you both enjoying our national treasure & best kept musical secret - John Farnham (pronounced 'Far-num'). I know you'll be more & more impressed as you go down the rabbit hole of his extensive body of work from his 5 decade career. Keep them coming! And G'day from Melbourne, Australia. ♥
"Far-num' is the Aussie lazy-speech pronunciation. It is an English word and there are a number of towns in England of that name. The 'ham' comes from the word 'hamlet', a small number of houses in an area .People from different countries with different accents will pronounce it differently.
@@barnowl5774 So you're saying John is wrong? It's arrogant & silly to correct the way someone pronounces his own name by comparing it to how a place name is said. Although, 'Sandringham' in England would throw your argument out anyway; or do you think the whole royal family & everyone else is pronouncing that wrong? John was born in England & lived there until he was 10yrs old, & his parents & extended family were English, so I'm sure they know how to say it. So my comment is correct & your ignorant snap judgement ("Aussie lazy-speech pronunciation"?! Pretty rude!) is dead wrong.
@@dolfyn73 Hey, smart a _ _e - I know about John's ethnicity and his family's emigration. I am not ignorant and my family lived in England. Just because a person pronounces a word a certain way does not mean that it is the correct pronunciation Read what I wrote!. In early schooling children learn to phonetically sound out 'h-a-m' as 'ham', and the derivation of 'ham' is from 'hamlet'. Aussies are well-known for their lazy way of speech. Elocution experts know this. Some describe it as if an elastic band is attached between the jaws. My own name is always pronounced incorrectly by Australians, even though it is phonetic. I am not being rude, there is no snap judgement and there is no ignorance As an educated person who works in this field , I am just being truthful. Perhaps your pride got in the way of any logic you may have.
@@barnowl5774 Hey dumba__e, read what I wrote. You continue to prove your arrogance for still trying to correct people about the way they pronounce their own name; it renders everything else you spouted inconsequential & tiresome. 'Sandring-um' & 'Far-num' are the correct pronunciations & saying any different makes you look more foolish. All you've proven is that know very little about language, names, & Aussies.
John Farnham or better known as Farnsy is an Aussie icon a lot of Australia’s can’t listen to this song without shedding a tear or two. Should check out the song “when something’s wrong with my baby” by Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham (the H is silent)
This song is an anthem and a protest song. (It's not a bop-along song.) It was written by people who accidently missed a protest march for nuclear disarmament - so they wrote this song instead. It is a song with a message. John Farnham often sings such songs to deliver a message of greater good for the world.

Check our Playing to Win .... or ....Age of Reason ....from the same concert with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra..... amazing
John Farnham is my favourite male singer of all time. Freddie Mercury is next, but John is #1 for me.
