Great song

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OOooh damn, and the rest of that post is just as hilarious. But really....love this initial reaction. Too funny!!

I just listened to this gorgeous ass song earlier today. It never fails to floor & romance the fuck outta me with it's out of this universe beauty.

UpHereInMyTree500...you witnessed the PERTH version?!?!? :eek: HOLY FUCK!!!!!!!!! That's actually the one I listened to today & the one I listen to quite often. Every version of this one is heaven but this one really is doing extra things.

Wow! I can't even imagine being there!!!!! I am so, SO grateful that the boys decided to put it on the MSG DVD.

How perfect.

Awwww & littlefootsteps, your post gave me chills as well. The fabulous FINN BROTHERS!!! Hell yes! Sounds like such an amazing experience. I'd looooove to hear that version. I don't think anyone is immune to the emotions this song stirs up.

I was reminiscing about the mighty MT VIEW '03 show earlier today...getting this for the pre-set.... being STUCK, soaking in all it's gorgeousness, euphoria~cloud 9 and then some.... completely HIGH. My friend and I were honestly floating around during & after and just kept looking at each other in shock saying " just think..the actual SHOW hasn't even started yet!!!!!" :eek: haha. Seriously...what a feeling. Damn!!!

SO MUCH LOVE for this song!!!!! It digs way deep.... demands your heart and soul. One of the best without a doubt.

Yes, when I first saw that they put it on the DVD I was stoked! Because that means everyone can see it!!!!!!!

Throw your arms around me is a classic Napster hit. I remember finding it on there when Napster was legit.

My buddy Bub recorded a good cover of it. He was so stoked to be on the same compilation w/ Mike and Stone. http://www.nowherenearyou.com/

I'll yousend it to someone if they want to hear it.

ive always loved this song and heard ed do it a couple of times on bootlegs.but the night he brought mark seymore out and sang it with him (im sure youve seen dvd) in my hometown perth,it blew my fuckin mind! so unexpected yet so unforgettable.

Ofthejungle · December 2005

Hey guys, was checking out your banter on here yesterday, and must admit, to begin with, I wasn't sure if anyone here had realised that this awesome ballad was a cover! Today I read through a few more pages, and was glad to see that some had mentioned that this was not a PJ original.

You'll see the Perth show in Melbourne Ed sings the track with Mark Seymour, and Ed tells the tale of meeting Mark on that particular day, and inviting him along to the gig that night!

If you've never heard any 'Hunters and Collectors', as an Australian, I fully recommend your get your ears around some of their tunes! You won't regret it.

In short, I do prefer Ed's version to Mark Seymour's, but when you see the two of them on stage together, that's when the magic happens............!

(Some words when spoken, can't be taken back!)

I've never had the good fortune to hear it but I like the lyrics.

ramses · December 2005

Yeah, I did the same thing. It's been a while... probably like 7 years or so for me...

MeddleDeal · May 2006

I am envious that you guys got it at Mountain View, but I still love ya guys

I hope Ed does a pre-set at the shows I go to.:) And have you heard Neil Finn's version of this song? PURE BEAUTY!

tarotvixen · May 2006

Mark Seymour of Hunters and Collectors wrote this song and thought it was ick. So he gave it to his brother Nick, who was playing in Crowded House (fronted by Neil Finn, surfer and good bud of Ed's) They thought it was ok and used it to warm up with until Jenny Morris heard them play and told them it was hit. Mark got wind of that comment, took the song back and it was a huge Hunters hit!! Just goes to show that even musos don't know it all

i wanna hear

Perth was a special performace because of Mark's guest spot, but really, strictly speaking, Ed's delivery on that night wasn't perfect and kinda fluffed the end.

I've grown up listening to this song, and I imagine I would've heard at least 50 different people play it.

it is a cool song, so simple but it carries a lot of emotion with it. me and my mate rich are doing an acoustic duo (he sings, i strum) and this was one of the first songs we learnt. he loves singing the end, he gets to really let go.

"there's a light, when my baby's in my arms..............."
