A song I could FINALLY listen to again w/o crying!! Such a beautiful song to sing to and hear. The warmth and feel of your lover's arms around you is the BEST thing in the world.
*sighs*
Best song that PJ covered:) I want to hear the Neil Finn/Eddie V. version again!! TOO pretty!!

I saw the original video from Hunters and Collectors on vh1 classic's show, Alternative...pretty rad. Very beautiful song, especially when everyone in the band is singing in circles.:)

I was lucky enough to see this from the 2nd row in perth. The tears started as soon as i saw Mark Seymour come out - i knew what they were going to play and it made for a very special moment with my hubby. We have had this song on H & C CD for years and it means a lot to us.
An absolutely awesome version..... and to top it off, when we were leaving Perth the next morning, Mark Seymour was jogging along the Esplanade, shirtless and..... Oh My that man is in good nick. We waved out to him, told him "You and Ed rocked last night" and got a smile and wave back - even though i think we spoilt his cover, if you know what i mean.
We are so lucky being able to see it on the MSG DVD!!!
reaching in..... the suns fingers clutch the dawn to pass
even out..... it's a precious thing to bear
I was hiding in Rod Laver Arena for the 19/2/03 soundcheck, the music filling the empty stadium with incredible sound, so different to when there's a full crowd.
We heard Sleight of Hand, Rival, Breath and then .... Throw Your Arms Around Me. Just Ed on stage, singing it to just eight or so of us (not that he could see us). It was amazing.

i try not to go a day without listening to it. it just makes things better.
ok, that's the motto of the day, don't go a day without listening to it, just like taking your vitamins or what ever you do daily without even thinking about it. Dvd or on line, just press the button to listen......
Tour 2005 here we come!
I'm gonna stand here with ya.......So uh.............
I'm gonna give ya a part.................
So I say........ it's ok and you say....... it's ok

i like that! definitely like a vitamin for the soul!
This song was written by Australian band Hunters and Collectors in the late 1980s. The original version sung by lead vocalist Mark Seymour is the best. Trust me.

yeah i saw the video on vh1 classic, was cool to see the original! neil's cover is probably my favorite though, right up there with ed's of course!

Yes, it is quite beautiful as i have heard his version, but i want to hear all versions being the obsessed individual that i am.

i have loved this song for a long long time since i began trading bootleg tapes over the net like ten years ago but u are right the perth version blows all others away i hAVE IT on the DVD of course but cant seem to find an audio version so i can play it in my car can anyone please help it is important i get it because i promised a friend i would get it to play at their wedding
Makes much more sense to live in the present tense

a lot of people dont realise that it is an australian/new zealand song, written by mark seymour, of 80's pub rock band hunters and collectors. hunters were a fair cool band, they have a lot of great song, but this is by far their best.
mark seymour has a heap of solo stuff out, and i rate it fairly high. his album 'one eyed man' is awesome and has heaps of good tracks on it, and a hidden track at the end of a new version of TYAAM.
but the perth version of eddie and mark together (as heard on the perth cd, and seen on the live at the garden dvd) is totally awesome, and one of, if not the best, version ive heard.
ive never been to a party where there has been a guitar and not played this song. everyone always knows the words, and think you are awesome for playing it, when it is one of the easiest songs to play in the world.
happy memories....great song....

when all are one and one is all, to be a rock and not to roll.........
i have heard both verisons of the song, I even saw the video for it on "The Alternative" on VH1 Classic. Very touching song.:)
btw, a little tid bit, Mark Seymour's brother, was the bassist for Crowded House They also did a version of this song on "Crowded House/Tim Finn: MTV Unplugged" I started crying when they pulled this song out

I was at the Perth concert when Mark/Ed sang it and it was awesome. One of my favourite songs combining with my favourite band was as good as it gets. Mark Seymour's going to be in town playing next week, and I'll be there just to hear the lastest rendition of Throw your arms, cant get sick of it.
I love this song, sadly i didn't get to hear it on this tour, but I love this song and heard it on the boots. To those of you who have heard it, you are truly lucky and blessed.
Lately, I had this song on my mind, which is really strange and yet nice. Longing for that someone that you truly care for and just want to reach out and touch them. Even something that is just instance and you know that it is there. I don't know how to explain it. Enjoy!!
~THROW YOUR ARMS AROUND ME~
oh my...GR VFC show...unbelievable experience...six rows back, dead center...i'm not the type to claim things happened that didn't...but i swear ed was singing directly to me...even if he wasn't in his mind, he was in mine...i'll never forget that time...truly beautiful.

And no one sings me lullabyes
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky....
I never heard Neil Finn's version of it, can i listen to it somewhere on the sky i scrape or some other place on line?
Neil has been doing it since his Crowded House days. I know they do it on an old MTV Spring Break '87 (yup '87, when MTV still played music). But he did it as recently as the end of March at 3 Royal Albert hall shows with his brother Tim. Nick Seymour ( fellow Crowdie & Mark's brother) was there as well (moral support as Paul Hester, Crowdie drummer, had died that weekend). I know there are some CH boots where they do it and if I recall correctly, a live version may have been a b-side, but I could be wrong :-)
