How can this still sound so powerful and fresh in 2023. Amazing.

Euphoria, tears, shivers down one's spine, if this doesn't stir your soul, nothing will.

One of John Farnham's performances in his native country the UK 🇬🇧, I believe there's another single that he released but the performance is currently not online, it's Age of Reason and he promoted it on Wogan.

I'm in the US, a 40 year old that grew up in Ireland. I would have been 7 when this came out. I probably haven't heard this in 33 years. Last night I dreamed this and it sounded just like it is here. I woke up and couldn't figure out if it was a real song or I had just made it up. So I went to the computer and did a bit of searching of the only lyric that I had ("try to understand it") 10 minutes later I played the song and there it was! Just like I dreamed it. Crazy.

This will always be up there with the one of the greatest songs ever sung/made! Love it! And John's voice!

[TheBootruss]

Phenomenal live vocal.. You'd think he was miming!

Us Scots need all the anthems we can get for today...this is a good place to start I reckon...

This SHOULD'VE been a UK No.1!! It sounds as brilliant now as it did in 1987. Delta Goodrem also does a great version of it.

Just saw this incredible live with no audience performance on my almost daily dose viewing of top of tbe pops with John Farnham Thanks for the recent upload Ps No audience but still the canned clapling exists that was so so fake but his great voice wasnt Then followed by Bruce willis and Tom Jones 2 more great voices

If ever there should be a song that signifies what Ukraine 🇺🇦 is going through it should be this one? God bless you Ukraine, the UK 🇬🇧 are behind you all the way. 😢

If ever a song was more appropriate after another senseless murder of an MP linked to terrorism. Whether blade or gun, take solace this song was made in 1987, 2 years before the end of the iron curtain, to those that wish to take on the Mother of democracies, just know, we have been exporting democracy, how long China? Britain and a lot of others have as long as you have.

Camera director was no musician. He lost the bass bits, the drum fillings and the guitar solo
