Glenn Barrie Shorrock (born 30 June 1944) is an English-born Australian singer-songwriter.

Little River Band are known for their vocal harmonies, which are front and center on this song. It opens with a distinctive a capella intro by Goble, Birtles and Shorrock that makes the song pop when it comes on the radio or in a playlist. The chorus, which is where the harmonies take place, shows up four times in the song, including off the top. It's an effective hook that puts a distinctive stamp on the song. When asked in a Songfacts interview if there was concern about releasing a negative-sounding song as a single, Little River Band lead singer Glenn Shorrock replied: "It's something that I thought of, briefly. But it's such a strong song and it's about redemption, as well. That didn't really hinder that as the release of that as a single. More songs from Little River Band. More songs about loneliness or isolation. More songs that start with vocals.

When Little River Band formed in 1975, Australia immediately took notice. The key bandmembers were already well known to Australians. Lead singer Glenn Shorrock had made his name in mid-'60s group the Twilights, a Beatles-sounding pop group that scored a national number one record with its version of the Velvelettes' Needle in a Haystack. When the group broke up in 1969, Shorrock became lead singer of Axiom, whose A Little Ray of Sunshine is still an Australian classic rock staple.
