For those who unaware who the guy singing is, that’s Dobe Newton and he co wrote this song with the Seekers in 1987

The second he started singing, I got this profound feeling that his voice was made for the song... what an honour to hear a co-writer singing his song, our song

Listening to this from the other side of the world in Switzerland with no connection to Australia whatsoever. Yet hearing these lyrics, seeing the impact it has on all of those in that audience listening to it… What an amazing and also emotional thing to watch. Makes me want to jump on a plane and visit your beautiful country. 🇦🇺

This should have been our national anthem 😍

Best voice performance ever made me cry😭
They are true patriots 🇦🇺

Love Jessica Mauboy. she represents Australia to the fullest for both Australians and indigenous Australians.

The sound of his voice struck an old memory deep within Jess. She didn't know what the hell it was, just that it was profound. Her reaction says it all. Then she turned and it all made sense. Beautiful.

The Voice Australia is one of the most wholesome singing competitions ever.

The guys are aussie legends, glad to see them still going 👍

[realifehaps]

You don't even need a beautiful voice to make people cry.... He just sang it and meant every word he sang... and I felt it too... what a moment...

Wow! We are just some months as an Australian citizen, but this song pulls all my heartstrings buttons. It was my first time hearing this song, but I got very emotional. What a performance!

Dobe Newton and Roger Corbett. Absolute true blue legends. When I was 9, Mum and I saw The Bushwackers live in 1994. One of the most fun nights ever. I even met Dobe Newton with Mum after the show. What a gentleman. I got one of their CD's and had all of the band members sign it. Still proudly own that CD to this day. 😊

I just love how appreciative Jess is. We need this kind of peps!

[cindythomas]

Omg I love Australia and it’s people, I’m from U.S and I was crying

[eeeweeeewe]

They took “age is just a number” to a whole new level

I’ve never heard this song before, but WOW!!!! I’m crying, and I’m not even Australian 😭😭😭

[carmelgerdsen]

Oh Jess, this song tears me up and pulls my heart at the best of times, but then I saw you get emotional and now I'm blubbering like a baby! ❤😢❤

If the AFL is srill looking for halftime entertainment, just imagine them belting this out at a packed G!
