@pseudofame I have been a Heartmonger for over 30 years, seen them in concert 23 times, and am addicted to their music. This song is explosive and I did listen to the John Farnham version. Uh-uh...Heart reigns SUPREME! About Sarah Pallin, Ann and Nancy are extreme left-wingers, so that's where the bashing comes from.
Although I don't agree with Heart's politics (nor their bashing of Sarah Palin), I still must commend their talent as real musicians. Not many (or any) of today's female singers are as good as them.
i love the original by John Farnham but Heart rocks every song they sing so LOVE this too!!!! This song has been sung by about a dozen others as well. No sense in arguing about it. It's a great song!
To all who have argued about who does this song better - as Ann Wilson recently said on another divisive issue "Who the &^%* cares you know, why does it matter? We're talking about people here."
This is a beautiful song no matter who sings it - in fact we should all sing it. Embrace the message of hope and peace!
Everyone has their opinion...Farnham has more range..I like both....To Mr Bookkeeper if you dont know whether the origin of this song is from a female or male how the hell can you say thi sversion is better you twat....and to those who wanna talk political bullshit take it elsewhere, this is a music appreciation area !!
@chuckkottke,,,Jeez,,,its not my week. Just got a call from some of your comrades,,,the Tooth Fairy,,,the Easter Bunny,,,and Santa Claus. Seems they think I'm full of it too. But they assured me that they're still on your side. Opps,,,gotta go,,,John Lennon's on line 2.
Go back to your bunker, Elroy. What's ya doing here anyhow - trying to sour people's hopes for people power to overcome hate and death and war? Get back - back to where you once come from. The bunker's waiting for you.
@chuckkottke,,,I was here becuase I enjoy MOST of this band's music. But I'm really annoyed by their politics, which really never rose above the level of a 12 year old. Fame gives them a platform, and they sway the weak-minded. I would never try to sour legtimate hope.
Buy all I hear in this is surrender and a willingness to give in to the world's worst. Sorry freind,,,,that does not lead to victory. Your pacifisim won't save your head,,,,ask David Pearl.
Music is from the heart - it humanizes us; sometimes the perspective we get from the TV news lacks the "human" element, so I think that's an important role to play. Empathy is all too often lacking in our world, and the individual forgotten when politics as usual is the order of the day. Is it weak to feel for another, and see them as we see ourselves? That's the message. Containment and supporting positive movements - it's slow, but it works. Force is a last resort, and wisely so.
@chuckkottke,,,,Well, that should let everyone know what the world looks like thru rose-colored glasses. Enough is enough, no more time to play wooden swords with you,,,, there are REAL wars to fight. Fini.
Better rose-colored than fogged up! Jobs, not guns, that's the answer. A lot of what we see in the world is a result of frustrations and economics. Take away the recruits (by supplying careers & jobs to people desperate for any work & dignity they can get), and you will see 98% of the problems disappear. No perfect world - just lessening the problems.
Thanks! I always knew the Heart version - John Farnham's music with the Little River Band I'm familiar with - great to know he has such creative talent!
I prefer this Heart version over Farnham's. His is still really good. I listened to it. For me, I think it just flows a little better. But that is just me. I am not downing anyone who prefers him over Heart.
I'm not gonna look at anyone down the barrel of a gun,,,,,,until I see theirs,,,,,then they'll see mine. Down thru the ages it was always the same,,,,,tho war is horrible, pacifists always lose EVERYTHING and become slaves. Hold on tight,,,,,its about to happen again. If you think hope has come you are mistaken. You are blind and hopeless and all that u have will be taken from you,,,,,,without a shot. Yep,,,,,this time,,,,,without a shot. So sad.
I second you, fellow. Unfortunatelly, real world is ambiguous --- and pacifists are the first traitors. Sad but True. That's why it's so difficult Arguing With Idiots (Glenn Beck) who believes that Liberal Crap in the Pop Culture: "Shout for Peace, and the Wars will get over" --- I love Music, but I hate musicians. I love art, but I hate artists. I love Rock, but I hate Rockers. They're the Moral Scum of our society.
A war begun without first trying containment, without clear objectives and capture of Bin Laden, without concern & paying jobs for those affected, and a prolonged occupation where we are not welcome; a failed war. You mphandel are the bully. Democracies are by their very nature slow to anger, but bullies pushed us hard into war, ran roughshod over all voices of opposition, and refused to admit their mistakes in the face of the plain truth. Bluff and bluster - take your BS somewhere else!
Yosemite Sam, eh? War is a horrible choice, a last option, and senseless wars should be ended as soon as possible. Ever hear of containment? How about going after hurtful extremists, and not attacking whole regions of the globe. Getting to the roots of conflict - fear, poverty, inequity, arrogance, misinformation, and irrational leadership! You're blinded by your own powder burns Yosemite; take some time, let those eyes heal, and see things with some heart.
@chuckkottke If you know a man is coming with a gun to kill your children, what will you do? You dial 911 to so that an officer will come with his own gun to protect them. When a nation dials 911 its called war. Our enemies want us dead, you included. I will not sit on my hands or feel sorry for them. I will protect my children first. Where will you be when they come for your children chuckkottke?
Wait a minute here. You're confusing war with the actions of a police force - we can't make war on diffuse criminal groups, we investigate the crimes and make arrests. We get to the underlying causes and do our best to reduce what drives people to the extreme. Our "enemy" is comprised of individuals that follow criminally-minded characters because of frustrations, ignorance, intolerance, & a sense of disrespect they feel. A cure = reducing global poverty, inequity, and being on good terms.
@chuckkottke The analogy fits. I would say you are confusing criminals with "war" criminals, who have declared war on you and me both. They don't want your understanding. They want your head. Our "enemy" is comprised of those who have made a "choice" to be our enemy when other of their countrymen chose not to be. And you're "cure" is not something that has ever happened on this planet. People just don't accept it. So they write silly songs like this one. While the beat goes on.
Na. You are confusing criminal groups with nation-states, & war on amorphous groups which operate all over is not the answer; it's like trying to make war on the mafia, or war on a drug cartel.. It's a matter of police & international justice; yes, some military help to arrest suspects to be tried, as what should have been done with Bin Laden's troupe. The answer lies with winning the good will and mutual respect of the citizens living in these turbulent regions, and that's the real answer.
It's not "silly", it's a song about ending the cycle of violence, the senseless wars that go on to make those in power look better. An eye for an eye leaves the world blind man. People power put an end to the Vietnam conflict, and the same should happen with the messes we're into today - give help where it is needed, jobs and respect; the citizens will change their views if we change our attitudes and actions. Let them run their countries, and hold out the olive branch of sincerity and peace.
Al qaeda isn't a nation any more than the median cartel is a nation. Extremists find safe haven in local areas via misinformation, & when locals get harmed by outside forces who do not respect the people & their culture, & who are not with them on a human level, on equal terms. Religious lunatics are everywhere - look at Baker's hard rhetoric and insensitivity towards victims of quakes and floods. To defuse it, reduce the anger, poverty, and frustration that drives people towards it. Peace.
@chuckkottke You speak in fantasies. Things that have never been and never will be. You can't defuse whats wrong in this world. The sad truth is that peace is not a characteristic of human nature. You can't tell me of "ANY" human relationships that are peaceful for extended periods of time. Not even in families. So what chance do nations have? Stop dreaming silly dreams. There is no eutopia. In the coming conflict, we will try to protect you, but I fear you will be a bloody unarmed sacrifice.
@mphandel I'd rather try than give up on it all - at worst, nothing comes of it, but at best, we build lasing peace. Most of the world is at peace, and most people want peace. When things are out of balance, then there is disharmony; bring back the balance, bring back the harmony. Apocalyptic visions are not the answer. The world is a reflection of us as human beings - the love you take is equal to the love you make. Most of all, to understand and respect what is good in others first. Peace
@chuckkottke If you think most of the world is at peace I will cannot continue this exchange with you. Its bad enough that you burden the rest of us with the task of protecting your freedoms when you are not willing to fight for them yourself. You're the type that does not seek after wisdom or truth, Only the empty excercise of debate itself. I won't waste time with things that never where and never will be. Music cannot change the world.
But it's true! Bunker mentality isn't where it's at buddy. The best protection for freedom is to first do no harm; support popular voices in countries where hard-line governments hold sway; give people a chance to make change - they will! Look @ Chile, or the Czechoslovakia - nonviolent change. I will fight for freedom, not for blunt & blind invasions. You' re the type that sees only the saddest paths forward - bad karma. Music already has changed the world - Beatles? Peter, Paul, & Mary?
I gotta say, out of all the covers, I rate Heart's cover very highly, even to the point of buying the 10" vinyl single. I like their take on the chorus' vocal hook. Their cover works because unlike all the "soft pop" covers done on the idol shows, they keep the vocal "guts" that Farnham had.
@Keruaran you get over it! you're the one who started this argument by responding to my post. like i said before, if you don't like it, don't listen to it! it's that simple.
The sad thing is that after 20 + years after this song mankind hasn't improved. We still kill each other for stupid reasons! Will we ever evolve enough to stop killing ourselves and the planet.
It had been quite a long time since I had heard this song for the last time. I played their "Greatest Hits" CD a couple of weeks ago and to listen to this song again was so refreshing and amazing as it had been the first time
I honestly don't know why other bands etc try to sing this song after John Farnham. They only do so at their own peril because in a comparison they will ALWAYS come out second best. Sure the musical arrangement etc can be improved, however when it comes to the vocals it is virtually impossible to beat the 'the voice' when he is belting out this classic (especially live in concert). It gives you goosebumps every time you hear it.
I agree! No one and I mean no one can sing this song like the Legendary John Farnham. This does not give me goosebumps like when Johnny boy sings it!!
May there be peace on earth and love between all of mankind. How I wish there would never be another war and that we would all learn to live together recognizing the priceless value of each human being.
For some ODD reason...humans enjoy killing each other...why? The same reason the lemmings run off a cliff every year.....because that's the way it is. sucks!

@Keruaran you get over it! you're the one who started this argument by responding to my post. like i said before, if you don't like it, don't listen to it! it's that simple.

Hate to say it, but no one can sing this song like John Farnham, he's just got one of the best voices.
John Farnham, "you're the ONLY voice" for this song!

The sad thing is that after 20 + years after this song mankind hasn't improved. We still kill each other for stupid reasons! Will we ever evolve enough to stop killing ourselves and the planet.

It had been quite a long time since I had heard this song for the last time. I played their "Greatest Hits" CD a couple of weeks ago and to listen to this song again was so refreshing and amazing as it had been the first time

At her heyday in the 80s I thought Nancy Wilson was, perhaps, the hottest woman alive. Talent plus looks - good stuff.

This is an absolute brilliant cover copy. Ann WIlson does ave power to copy such a great song. Both versions are awesome.

I honestly don't know why other bands etc try to sing this song after John Farnham. They only do so at their own peril because in a comparison they will ALWAYS come out second best. Sure the musical arrangement etc can be improved, however when it comes to the vocals it is virtually impossible to beat the 'the voice' when he is belting out this classic (especially live in concert). It gives you goosebumps every time you hear it.
mafiand 2 years ago
I agree! No one and I mean no one can sing this song like the Legendary John Farnham. This does not give me goosebumps like when Johnny boy sings it!!

Yep, if you're gonna sing this song you're going to be stacked up against John Farnham. And very few people can do that.

John Farnham was the big hit, but a cover of an original by cult hero Mitch Ryder, whose version I was looking for when I found this.

As good as this cover is, nobody, and I mean nobody, can match the power of the voice of John Farnham in his own (original) version.

John Farnham version is better IMHO, but this video is 10,000 times better than his.
Songs like this, or Cat Steven's Peace Train or Rush's Closer To The Heart etc. should be required singing by all schoolkids the world over.
