"You're The Voice" by John Farnham, Live in Sydney
Strong Songs
The Australian National Anthem: A Song of Rules
"You're the voice by John Farnham. It's song of rules," he says. "The whole song pretty much or at least the verse and the chorus both revolve around the same chord progression." He describes his role in front of this Australian audience as an outsider showing up at the Vatican to dissect Christ's Sermon on the Mount. 'It's got double-plagal energy'
John Farnham's "You're The Voice" was a worldwide hit, and nowhere was it more popular than in the Aussie singer's homeland. A couple weeks ago, Kirk went onstage with the hosts of the Chat 10 Looks 3 podcast, Leigh Sales and Annabel Crabb, to talk about the song, the singer, and so much more.
This episode is excerpted from Chat 10 Looks 3 episode 214. It was recorded live at the Enmore Theater in Sydney, Australia on June 17, 2023.
