" Age of Reason " is a song by Australian pop rock singer John Farnham . Written by Todd Hunter and Johanna Pigott, it was released as the first single from Farnham's 1988 album of the same name . The song topped Australia's ARIA Singles Chart for four weeks and became a hit in New Zealand, where it peaked at number four. At the APRA Music Awards of 1990 , the song won the Most Performed Australasian Popular Work award. [2]

Composition [ edit ]

"Age of Reason" was composed by Todd Hunter and partner Johanna Pigott , who had previously written the song "Rain" for Dragon and played together in the XL Capris . Pigott said, "You write songs and you're surprised at what you wrote sometimes, and you think, goodness, is that me, did I do that? It's not something you consider of perfect taste or anything, and someone records them and you think that's fantastic. It's a really exciting and thrilling thing." [3]

Music video [ edit ]

The music video for "Age of Reason" was filmed in 1988 and included six key scenes, with the Victorian Children's Choir in three of the sequences: running through a scrap metal yard, running down a hill behind Farnham, and standing in a warehouse as Farnham walks between them.

In the "making of" feature included on the One Voice: The Greatest Clips DVD, Farnham can be seen singing with the children after the film clip wraps shooting in the warehouse. They each received a copy of the track on vinyl.
