🗞️ Word On The Street

40 years ago today, John Farnham released “You’re the Voice”.

It got us thinking about RoamCouch and “Moon Child”.

Sometimes seeing someone else find their voice helps us find our own.

"Moon Child" by RoamCouch, 2020

The Art Scoop: A night scene showing a house under a star-filled sky with a large full moon above. The moon features colourful graffiti-style markings, including the word “love.”

The house is covered in multicoloured graffiti text and symbols across the walls, roof, and windows. Several children stand on the roof holding paint rollers, raising them upward toward the moon. Others are positioned on ladders and around the house, also holding painting tools and paint cans.

A large cloud formation appears to the left of the house, with trees visible to the right. The scene combines a dark nighttime setting with vivid colour from the graffiti, evoking the idea that seeing someone else express themselves can inspire us to find our own voice.

Hope our true Australian 'national anthem' gives you a boost to keep up the good fight @meidastouch.com @meiselasb.bsky.social 🫶
#YoureTheVoice #MeidasMighty #Resist 💪💪

"We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?'

Geelan Mitchell Media @victoriannews.com.au · Dec 2

Down under, my American friends ... us Aussies (and our Kiwi mates across the ditch) have to fight at least three times as hard to 'make it in the world' and find international success ...

Australia's unofficial National Anthem ... "You're The Voice"

We punch well-above our weight down under.

For those who are planning to resist fascism and white supremacy for the next four years, might I recommend this song as one of our anthems of resistance?

I wonder how John Farnham feels about his song being used by One Nation?

I also wonder how many One Nation voters realise another John Farnham song was used by protestors wanting a free Palestine just a couple of weeks ago?

Last night I dreamt singing ‘Two strong hearts’ by John Farnham was banned in public, so in protest, Australians nationwide took to the streets to sing ‘You’re the voice’

It was a moving dream, and the number of bag pipers was quite unexpected - thousands upon thousands.

My mum had the Whispering Jack LP when I was a kid, and it was one of our favourites to sing along to. I will have to ask her if she still has it 😍
