dont mean to be rude or pry, but dude, what has happened to your head? are they bruises? make sure they aren't melanoma's
no worries brother...we been trying to figured out what's happening but doc thinks its Fungus in my system. I'm on medicine now to kill the fungus and next week i go see a Derm. all is good brother be safe.
@@CVTECK1 well i wish you all the best with that mate, hope you get it sorted
@@iancremmins4727 thank you mate.
BHAHAHAHHAHAH that has to be an Aussie lol
@@xaoskuntablast3354 if your refering to me, Guilty
Anytime John sings I'm in Paradise....one of my all time favourites. Beautiful song written by Ross Wilson who originally wrote it for himself and his own band Mondo Rock and it had a very mild success. But then he gave it to John who blew the roof off with it. Ross jokes about how much money he now makes from it.
I love John Carolyn and your love and support is Paradise so thank you
@@CVTECK1 awe thanks 😊
Australia didn't pigeon hole John... we love all genres and especially one wrapped up in the perfect musical parcel❤
He is so so special to everyone in Australia and you can now see why.. there is nothing he can’t sing❤️
I was at a Farnham concert many years ago in Melbourne when John sang this song and halfway through he brought Ross Wilson (the writer of the song) out to join him on the song. Now, Ross Wilson had been the lead of an Aussie group Daddy Cool.... they were one of my favs and I was blown away. So special a moment... thanks for the memories.
Just fell in love with John Farnham AGAIN. As im sure many of us did.
You go wherever John takes you with every line. We Aussies are blessed with this wonderful singer, who has a special heart and soul, and is exactly who you see on stage. Everybody's mate. No one will ever evoke the emotion he does with every line of any song. He is truly THE VOICE. Thank you for reminding us of what we have in John.
I read one of the reasons he wasn’t big in the U.S. was because the record labels couldn’t ‘pigeon hole’ him into a certain genre of music so they weren’t interested in him.
Later John also chose not to push the U.S market because of all the promotional stuff/travelling he would have to do with a young family. There’s an interview out there somewhere where he says it. Might have been with Roy and HG but I can’t quite remember.
Great reaction as usual. I’m glad so many Americans can now discover what they missed out on. It’s never too late to find your favourite singer.
That what i also read .which is so crazy ,you think someone who could anythnig would be a find .at least we aussies got the best ,xx
They definitely missed out on our legend ,but it is amazing how he’s reaching them now ,it is beautiful to see n I feel very proud to have grown up with John n proud Australian!!
From the day it was released, I listened to this song every evening on the drive home from work and it was a guaranteed mellow, road rage free, drive home in peak hour traffic.
This is "our" John...his voice takes you to paradise....every song he sings gives joy n pleasure..
He is that one in a million individual, all Australians relate to him...he is sooooo well liked in the industry...which is not easy to achieve....he has that natural ability to relax people...no pressure applied...he is like a family member....
As an Australian growing up listening to him he relates to ALL walks of life...simply started: he is an awesome bloke...period...
We LOVE you John!! ❤😂
Yes one of John’s favourites to sing and one that a lot of Aussie sing when it comes on the radio etc.. it’s a favourite for sure..🧐🇦🇺🥰
It’s a beautiful song that John - like all his songs puts all his heart soul and passion into. To me it’s a love song. Thanku for the great reaction. We love our superstar legend who is just a lovely guy.♥️🇦🇺
Love him singing this song. So special like really in paradise, blown away so lovely song by him!❤❤❤❤❤
Hey mate thanks for doing my request. It was my mum's favorite song, she was lucky to see john 3-4 times during his career. They just do not make music like this anymore, it has been written very well and performed to perfection by John and his band.
From what i hear John wanted to stay in Australia because he did not want to put the pressure of traveling on his wife and kids. Like the outstanding human John is his family comes first and his fans here in Australia have been blessed to have him perform for so long. Thanks again.
John no worries mate. This song must make you think of mom always witch is great... I'm a mama's boy. I can tell you story and everyday life with me and my mom too. I am seeing the real John with these songs and I'm connecting even more with him now...Last 3 songs has been different and i love it...John is Amazing and I'm soooo happy to discover his music.John anytime mate let me know more songs.
@@CVTECK1 my dad actually toured with John Farnham in the mid 80s. I can confirm, via my dad (who both lived in melbourne) that John put his wife and family above all else. in his eyes, he had the perfect family and a humble (in his words) career. what more could a good man want
@@NakedChickfilaFightClub hi I did have a question would you happen to know the rough crowd attendance for the concert with the Melbourne symphony orchestra. In the help video the crowd looks huge.
@@CVTECK1 will do I’ll do another pay pal request next Friday thanks again for your reaction.
@@johno40324 way to long ago to remember haha but given the venue I’d say probably 30,000?
This song was always played on the buses in Sydney. Aired on the bus radios so heard it mostly all John Farnham's son when catching the buses to the train station. Worked at the Sydney city so had to catch train everyday during the week. It brings back memories of late 80s and 90s
I remember seeing him here in Bathurst in early 2000's. He is the ultimate entertainer and singer. He has been in my life since 1969 through the 1970's, 80's, 90's and 2000's. Even after he retired he was always there to raise funds for people in need. He is a great human and someone we are all proud of.
John was signed to another manager. He insisted John be called Johnny and wear suits at 18. Then he had to sing songs that made old ladies take him to number one and 10 year olds. It was not cool to like him but he has always been polite and kind. Then that manager put him into stage productions and even a Pantomime. I used to hate those when I was little and my Mother dragged me to see them, she liked them. He even put him in things like Pippin.
John was off the music scene for about 7 years I think. His best friend became his manager and he wanted people to see the real John. He did that with the Whispering Jack Album and before that no one here or in America would sign him. So Glenn and John made it themselves. Glenn Wheatley changed how we listen to music in Australia and he changed radio stations with FM. After they made that album no one would play or listen to it. John said in an Interview in his first 25 years with number one hits. He only made money for the last five but Whispering Jack shut them all up. John sang so many songs with meanings,I think mine would be Burn For You.
Our John. The Man, The Myth…The Legend. So effortlessly beautiful. Australia loves ya Farnsey❤️🇦🇺 The rest of the world is just waking to his brilliance and awesome personality.
This songs makes me think of meeting the ONE you were meant to be with! Whether or not you ended up with them or not. This song brings back that particular person to your mind and heart!
John has never been short of international offers.
He was even approached to front Queen.
He is a family man who chose to stay at home and enjoy being a well loved Aussie!.👍
The first time I heard this song it just brought me a soothing feeling of inner peace calmness and pleasure, a masterpiece from a man who knows his craft.
This is one of the most beautiful, genuinely romantic songs ever written.
So beautiful. Love our John - The G.O.A.T. ❤😂🎉 Thanks CV. ❤️❤️
Aussie performers always give their best performance out of respect for the audience who pay to see them do their thing
God I love seeing the aussie music I grew up with get all the love in the world. I was so lucky growing up with the best music in the world.
Growing up in Australia we heard John’s music. He has been so popular here for so many decades, so a life time for many of us. Hearing them now takes me back to some beautiful places and feelings of my youth.
All the songs from John's vast performances are still relevant today. I believe he moves so many people because he commits to the song heart and soul. The emotions are real, the passion is real. But mostly he connects on such a deeper level to the audiences than just about any other performers. He is the ultimate entertainer. John did tour a little overseas...but we are so far away and in those days flights etc were 24 hours or more. He toured with Little River Band in the US. I'm just glad that we have so much footage of his performances to share with great 'reactors' like your good self
Beautiful, I never get sick of listening to John. He is so close to his Wife & Family, he couldn't be away from them. John also loves being here in Australia, that's why I believe he didn't want to tour. He wrote Burn for you while he was away from his Wife on tour.
Absolutely love that song gives you goosebumps x
I've always loved this beautiful love song. There's something really special about it. It was a hit for John and he always includes it in his concerts. I love that he calls this slowing down and taking a break. It's all so effortless.😊 I'd like you to check out Amazing Grace, John singing with two of his backing singers, Vanetta and Lindsay. Vanetta's voice is insane. She's sung with Barbra Streisand and Tina Turner. I'm sure you'll be impressed.💕
His voice makes us feel like we are in paradise, such a beautiful song and performance. No one can do it better. Should check out “that’s freedom” from this same concert next another great song
I agree. That's Freedom should be next
Beautiful voice
I know you’ve always been a fan, However in your last two reactions in particular, I realised you completely understand why John is so loved in Aussie.The joy you feel comes from his voice and the message in the great songs. Most people will tell you they love John because of his music, but it goes deeper than that, John has a love for his fans as well, and they sense it. His music will live for generations especially in this country
You got that right mate. Its not just a well written beautiful love song its perfectly performed . Another one to check out would be I burn for you by John , then his duet with Olivia Newton John ,Please dont ask me. They wouldnt sign him because of his past image as a popet kid and by the time he reached this level of performance they said he was too old at 40. Robbed the world of one of the truly great voices to ever come along.
I was at university when he released this song & it was all over the radio as I slaved away at my assignments. Not exactly a romantic association for me 😅 but it really is a beautiful song.
Age of Reason is one of my favourite John song. I like the ticking clock sound in the background. Love this song too.
This song takes me back to hot Summer nights either on the beach or at a BBQ with family and friends, and camping during the Christmas/New Year Summer holidays. Nothing better than a Summer beach holiday in Oz. Simpler times....good times.....
Absolutely right about his team, people stayed with him for decades.
I don't know if you've seen John do cold chisel song when the war was over
You'll like it trust me he'll blow you away you'll hear notes you've herd before guaranteed
I think it'll effect you as much as that other song you kept listening to
Just like this one today but tonnes more power
John didn't want to leave his family or disruption to his children travelling and had a love for the Aussie audiences
That song is amazing
I have many memories related to this song and even sang it to my kids when they needed some extra loving. Ross Wilson penned one of the most beautiful love songs ever written but it's John's magic that really gives it wings. Also, his band and backup singers and the rest of his long time amazing team are a big part of the perfect package that is John Farnham.
I think he tried to make it in the USA but it didn't work out for him and he returned to Australia and wer're glad he did!
He'll be greatly missed by many. He had some really iconic hits in Australia. I can remember him in the 70's and then as the lead singer for The Little River Band hence why he often sings "When The War Is Over" in concert. LRB released a version of the songf when ex-Cold Chisel drummer Steve Prestwich who wrote it also joined LRB. This version was used as the theme song for a TV mini series. I prefer the Cold Chisel version myself but Farnham sang it well too.
To answer your question, I was in labour to my second child, n I blasted this song on the stereo, it sort of calmed me, so I have always related this song to my second baby 😄. She's 36 yrs old now, and I still think of her, everytime I hear this song.... Thanks ever so much for your reactions 🙏🌺. Cheerio from Down Under
what does it mean to me? sometimes my soul just needs a poke, like most of Johns singing it just blocks out the world and brings you to that alter of blissful inner peace
We all need that poke mate a wake me up
A lovely song. Reminds me of being truly in love for the first time.
John chose not to tour internationally . He didn't want to be away from his family for that long.
One of my favourites...who am i kidding they are all favourites 😂
He Is The Greatest !
😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤
I love age of reason too just love the meaning
Brilliant...thank you...more JF please.
The Little River Band, you may have heard of them? They had the most played song on US radio with Reminiscing and many other songs. The original members of LRB, not the cover band that still tours the US, when lead singer and one of the song writers, Glenn Shorrock left, he was replaced by John Farnham for a few years. So John knew how arduous the constant touring grind and being far away from your loved ones, and the toll that it took. When he quit the band, he was happy to tour solo when he wanted, sing and record the songs that he wanted, and not be too far from family. I suppose you know he is recovering from having having a cancerous growth removed from his jaw. May not sing again, but prior to the op. he was still capable of singing at his best aged in his 70s.
Help by John live in Melbourne
A good song to react to is John Farnham and Richard Marx ,"The Reason why" 1994 Aria awards. Richard was an American with a music career, that came over to Australia to collaborate when he heard John sing.
It's okay , not one of my favourites like the Age of reason you last played buts it's alright.
At the very least you get someone singing to you with a good voice no matter what he sings , so it's not going to be bad .
I think it's just the song I'm not to crash hot on.
Love Love did i say Love Age of reason lol
My fav John Farnham song is "Don't tell me it can't be done," from his, "Age of Reason album. But it's not my fav by very much. He has so many songs that I love almost as much.
It’s the …. vibe
You express exactly how i fejl and think 👏👏👏🙏🏻❤️
G'day CV this is not a request But I think you should take a look at Australian 90s indie music . And as for you question about what the song means to us, i would say it's one of our biggest 80s love songs . John Farmham had some American exposure while he was the front man for the Little River Band
It could be that the US music companies don't spread out beyond your insular borders. The Australian talent shouldn't have to go there. The American artists don't come to Australia, but we still buy their music. Should be two way traffic.
it should be both ways and music is world wide so why not.
The guy who wrote this ( Ross Wilson ) had a band in the 70's called Daddy Cool. They had a hit with an extremely catchy track called Eagle Rock. Do yourself a favour.
Smoooooth!
America is very insular. Especially in the 70’s 80’s. By the time the US was even remotely curious about other countries music, John was already in his late 30’s. He was shopped around over there but all the record companies said he was too old. So John’s manager mortgaged his house to finance ‘Whispering Jack’
Sooo beautiful 😍
Love John
I don't know if Farnham even tried to break America. This album was such a monumental blockbuster in Australia I don't see why he would really try.
Kind of like the British pop star Robbie Williams some 20 years later; he was such a massive star in every other country BUT the US that he didn't see the point in working that hard.
CV 😎💯
J sup mate long time no see. Hope all is well with you!!!!
@@CVTECK1 Hey Bro doin well , blessings to you my Man 💪😎
Mate it was the US that rejected him.
Hey Cvteck1 next react to Wide ball explained law 22. The youtube channel is by The Cricket Digest
Most of the bosses and money men in the music industry are either into classical music or no music at all.
They are fake jews born into A right family...... their only 2 interests in life are money and themself, although most pretend to be into family as well.
Both the music and movie industries are full of examples were an award winning sycophant born to his position in business has dismissed or even laughed at the next big artist or event / song.
So many of the worlds wealthiest businessmen would NOT make a success of an ice cream stand in a busy oasis.
Tbe towni grew up in with my daddy, and everything that is familiar to me, is that special place for me
he was with LITTLE RIVER BAND and they had HITS....also travel Europe with LRB
