    John Farnham one of the greatest voices ever, Brett Garsed one of the greatest guitarists to ever live.

    Farnham. Hirschfelder. Garsed. Burchell. That’s a line up of raw talent. Add in Fields, Nelson and Field and you get perhaps the best Aussie live gig ever!

    This song is still relevant today. John Farnham's passion, performance and vocals during the late 1980's was beautiful. His band, particularly David Hirschfelder (keyboards) and his lead guitarist (Bret Garsed) were outstanding.

    Can't believe this man wasn't an international star! He and I sing very similar and that's because I'm aiming to be an American Farnham. I sang this song last night I think and practice these songs all the time. He also was incredibly handsome. Little River Band were so much better when they had him. All the hate he gets is sickening. He is in my mind the greatest singer.

    This song is part of Australian rock music history: John Farnham was a seminal figure in popular music with his formidable vocal range and his heart-on-sleeve ballads, he helped dismantle the previous solid jaw image of aussie maledom. Here he is the perfect interpreter of a song classic that comes from a time of post-Vietnam disturbance and unease, a song that tells of fierce young love & reckless quarrel, separation & regret, longing & remorse, realisation & resolution.

      I actually think he sang this song with even more presence and feeling back in 2003 from his live show called the last time. He is definitely one of the best male singer in the world. And he should be in the hall of fame a long time ago.

      Farnham didn't have the international profile of Freddie or MJ, but clearly one of the best of that era. He was one of the first singers considered by Queen to replace Freddie but it never happened apart from some minor collabs in 2000 when he was past his prime. Farnham is my favourite singer. Best live singer Ive heard

    "How can I go home and not get blown away" as sung by John Farnham - I lack the vocabulary to describe just how amazing this is. Utterly sublime is the best I can come up with.
    Jimmy Barnes sang it incredibly well, but Farnsey is the one that gives me chills.
