Sunday Classics 29.06.25​

Hey members!

We’re back with another Sunday Classic, and this one’s a full-blown anthem of power, passion, and pipes!

This week’s pick is ‘You’re The Voice’ by John Farnham, suggested to us by member @Crestwood 96! Released in 1986, this soaring hit became an instant classic in Australia and has inspired generations with its powerful message of standing up and speaking out.

​

Did you know the iconic bagpipe solo almost didn’t make the cut? The producers were unsure about it—but now it’s one of the most memorable parts of the song! Farnham’s vocal performance is legendary, and the lyrics still hit hard today: ‘We’re not gonna sit in silence, we’re not gonna live with fear.’

Give it a spin—turn it up loud—and let us know what classic should take the stage next! Drop your picks below!

Brilliant song & singer. This is one of those songs where I have to turn the volume up whenever I hear it.

I was living in Hong Kong when I heard this for the first time…..there wasn’t many programs that offered English language tv or subtitles…. But this came through a music program and I loved it……one of the best songs I’ve heard, and one of the best voices I’ve heard….not that long after we came to Perth, were invited to go to his concert…….it was amazing and he was so down to earth…..people were up dancing….it was the best atmosphere….

The only song I would put next is also by the same iconic artist " The age of reason" which we sadly need now in this time of uncertainty.

Bernard King was paid big time to be so nasty
