This is a hidden classic and not enough people know about this legend. As a kid listening to the radio in mums car, his songs were played often. Even as a kid under 10 I was drawn to his vocals. Swanee and Paul Rodgers voices, just hit my insides 👌
I love this song, one of my all-time favorite songs. I can not for the life of me figure out why on earth this song was not an international #1 smash hit.
Cannot believe this only has about 7500 views and less than 50 likes.... FFS! WHAT is WRONG with you people!!!! ONE of our GREATEST South Aussie singers.....
Totally agree with you 44dingdong. What a awesome voice John has. Have seen him live quite a few times. The last being at the Clispal After Race concert 2011 and tell ya he has not lots any of that voice. And still a happy cheerful guy.
With help from JS this is the best we could do to get these lyrics. All through the morning and all of last night, been tossing and turning, but it don’t feel right. I’ve done a little a little drinking and you know I get high, but that’s no reason for you saying goodbye. Maybe you’re feeling that I don’t care, but it’s hard to make love when you’re sleeping in your chair. I tried to make you listen but the dog only hears. And I ain’t about to laugh away all your tears. So Sail away and ride your storm, god go with you till you reach your brand new dawn. So sail away and calm your raging sea, your lifeline is the only part of me that’s the heart of me. Our bed stays empty now the feelings long gone, but we share the same house and fool everyone. And you keep all the photographs, there’s a memory there. While the dreams we shared surround us every way. So sail away and ride your storm and god go with you till you reach your brand new dawn. So sail away and calm your raging sea, your lifeline is the only part of me that’s the heart of me. Oohoo oohoo. Some called us lucky that we lasted for so long. You couldn’t keep singing out that same old song. And darling don’t say nothing, cause it’s hurting me inside. Just keep on running or you’ll miss the tide. So sail away and ride your storm, and god go with you till you reach your brand new dawn. So sail away and calm your raging sea, your lifeline is the only part of me. So sail away and ride your storm, god go with you till you reach your brand new dawn. Oh I’ll make it stop one day. Baby! Baby baby baby baby baby. You’ll always be the one for me!
First time heard this its great I used to help him on stage at largs pier after drinking all day sat coffee and more coffee he has s great voice just like his brother they dont ckass each other or Linda ss half anything
I heard .. swanee..long before I heard .Jimmy.sorry nothing against. Jimmy. but I reckon .swanee.is actually lot better what else can I say about him.fucken classic
Knowing what we know now…. I will guess that Swanee didn’t get ultra famous because he didn’t sell his soul & didn’t join THE club I’ve heard rumour about Molly Meldrum..
Listening in 2022, still great song, great voice.

It''s easy. It got sweet bugger all radio or TV time. But i have to agree with you, it's a classic.
Agreed. World class performance

Awesome voice!

Hey man, if you somehow found this song and thought “Farken cool who is this?” check out “If I Was A Carpenter”.

Just like Jimmy Barnes without the gravel.
they are full brothers....
Half brothers. I’ve got 6 half brothers
Hard to go wrong with Moss,Walker, Prestwich and small, but I think Jimmy and John are both great singers.
