    Is there anything that doesn't make this song perfect? Great musicians, excellent background singers, incredible bagpipe player, unique song and a John Farnham who sings this song with his heart and soul. The icing on the cake is the vocal audience. It can't be better. This is the song of all decades!

      I like this more: ruclips.net/video/X-TPRdzHZDU/видео.html&ab_channel=Gary86 actual one is too... mechanic seems, missing drive. Generaly thats problem of most orchestras... they are great in reading notes, but missing drive in most of cases...Played in one, in few European countries.

      The question then becomes, what should be the response when someone starts a stupid meaningless war? Like... Putin's invasion of Ukraine. There are many looking at each other down the barrel of a gun there. But Ukrainians are defending their homeland. Should they not be doing that? Should Palestinians not be defending themselves from continuing Israeli occupation?
