Thank you guys for all the love and support over the last few months, it's been an amazing journey! Can't believe I actually got to 10K subs! 🎉🎉🤯🤯 Never in my life would I have thought that I would be here doing this but I'm happy I took the chance and I absolutely love reacting to all these amazing, talented & gifted musicians. Thank you guys for coming with me on this amazing journey. 🔥 Much Love, Peace & Happiness ShaneyG
Brilliant song, I love both the Cold Chisel and the Farnsey versions! Steve Prestwich also wrote Flame Trees and Forever Now along with I got things to do, Since you’ve been gone- all his songs seem to be centred around nostalgia and moving on from old loves. For this reason I believe When the War is Over is no exception and is most likely about returning home to a familiar place to find time has moved on and you somehow have to live in the present in a place that still echoes the past. Flame trees has the same theme. When Steve passed away, Jimmy Barnes planted a flame tree in his honour in Canberra.
Shaney your spontaneous reactions to Australia's national treasures multiplies my enjoyment of them. Good things are always better when shared. I'll be happy to tag along and enjoy your discoveries. Cheers.
It's so good sharing goosebumps with you, Shaney! 😄 Another excellent reaction to one of the world's greatest voices. I've said it before and I'll say it again: YOU ROCK! 👏✌🐨
I saw the LRB line up with Prestwich and Farnham live, outdoors at Tamworth. I didn’t even know it was on. I heard a sound check while walking down the street and went to investigate. Ended up being one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen.
The documentary you mentioned is called Finding the voice, it was on here in cinemas recently and is awesome. Funnily enough it's actually on TV here in Oz tomorrow night too 😊
This is one of my two favourite songs by John the other being COOL CHANGE which is a Little River Band song that was sung by him when he fronted that band as the original lead singer had left , the song is the one I go to when I'm reminiscing about tropical vacations and ocean cruises that I took with my late wife, I play the song and I'm immediately transported back to those wonderful days of peace and relaxation, even if you don't react to it you would be doing yourself a disservice not to listen to it .
This is one of my most favourite versions of this song ❤ I love how your enjoying his music so much, you can see it in your smile, you comments and your grooving to his music. Its great watching your reactions❤
I've enjoyed many versions of this song and loved every one of them, it's a classic song. But this is my favorite of all, what a stunning performance!! Also, a great reaction, thank you.
Just gave you the No, 100 thumbs up on this one Shaney! Congrats for reaching the 10K plus. You deserve it! Thanks so much for your love of John Farnham's music and sharing your lovely reactions to him throughout the world. When you're ready please react to John's Aussie female equivalent, the fantastic VANESSA AMOROSI. Check out the video of her singing, 'Have A Look,' on a German TV show called something like Top of the Pops, on You Tube. She will blow your ears!
John is, and has always been, completely and utterly faithful to his wife Jill. His family is the reason he stayed in Australia. Lisa is one of his backup singers, has been with him for 30+ years and he considers her family. ❤ John is more than a brilliant singer. He is humble, comedic and our heart.
The respect John shows towards his band members is so obvious. He always acknowledges them both verbally (Brett at the end) or by his body language (the way he stood off to the side and looked at Chong during the introduction). The fact so many of them were with him for years reinforces that.
This is true I just watched the classic jack live DVD and wow! It was magic! He praises everyone he works with and it definitely does show. I'm glad I got to learn so much about him and he truly is a legend. I just did We're Not Angel's from that DVD and it brought me to tears.
@@ShaneAlanGower Classic Jack would have to be 'one of' the all time 'great' concerts. Not just in Australia, but world wide. John has the ability to make his concerts feel extremely personal and more like a jam session at his place with a few friends or a family gathering than a big concert in front of 20,000+ people. No one else I've seen over the last 30 years (Australian and International, some VERY big names in the music industry) has come close to that sensation/connection. I'm so glad I got to see him several times over his career. He's definitely a consummate performer, very down to earth and genuine. His recycled dad jokes also add to his character. Definitely agree about him being a legend.
Amazing how alternative versions of the song hit you differently emotionally. Barnsey and Chisel’s version is powerhouse but John’s version is awesome. ❤
This song was about young men and women fighting a war they don't want to and leaning on each other and using each others shoulder. They need each other to survive and return home safe.
Shane, this song is about war. It's about a young man coming home from the Vietnam war with PTSD and having to try to deal with his emotions and how our boys were treated both by the Government and also by the people.
I think the best songs are the ones where people can divine meaning to any events in their lives. This song may resonate with people in a tumultous relationship, people who have been in wars as both civilians and soldiers. That is the beauty of truly great music and lyrics. One size fits all, for decades and decades......:)

Your enthusiasm for John Farnhams voice is infectious.

Flame trees is one of my favourite songs ever :)
👍
The emotion John puts into every song but this in particular is amazing, his voice still perfect and I think this is the best version of this song.
I know next to nothing about drums and very few reactors comment on them, so it's interesting to hear what you have to say 😊 cheers.
Shaney your spontaneous reactions to Australia's national treasures multiplies my enjoyment of them. Good things are always better when shared. I'll be happy to tag along and enjoy your discoveries. Cheers.

Crowded House is a good rabbit hole for Australian (+ NZ) artists
Another fabulous reaction. John just blows me away in this performance. Lisa is one of his back up singers and also long time freind.
Very Good 👍👍🔥🔥☘☘
His voice sends chills every single time
Awwww, John, we love you so much my heart is bursting ❤ xxx

John Started singing this, when Steve Joined LRB after Chisel.
I saw the LRB line up with Prestwich and Farnham live, outdoors at Tamworth.

Ended up being one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen.

Tears of passion my friend.

Great job my friend
John is The Voice ……in more ways than one now.
👍
gday mate you should listen to john sing IN DAYS TO COME I THANK YOU WILL LIKE IT
John kept his voice for the whole of his career.
Lisa was a backing singer and not married to John as John is already married with two children
Hi there, have you heard about this amazing group called SB19 that can sing all genre? They have a new song GENTO music video. They are filipino
Nice reaction... You look VERY much like Peter Dinklage, only bigger!

Shane, this song is about war. It's about a young man coming home from the Vietnam war with PTSD and having to try to deal with his emotions and how our boys were treated both by the Government and also by the people.
The song is about a soldier returning from war and feeling out of step with civilian life.

This song may resonate with people in a tumultous relationship, people who have been in wars as both civilians and soldiers. That is the beauty of truly great music and lyrics.
