    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.

    While i think Ed does a marvellous job of this song I think the best version i heard was during the H@C farewell tour.

    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......

    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. :)
