Throw your arms around me - Hunters & Collectors

[greggorm35]

How does this only have 123,795 views??? This song reminds me of very fond years I spent in Sydney and it is one of my favorite H&C songs (although there are many others too). I moved there from Dublin in 1990 with a friend and left in 93 with my wife to be. My kid will probably be sick of hearing the grand-old-day stories that I’ll tell him in years to come…. But that won’t stop me telling them. And I'll also be sure to let him hear the fantastic Oz music I heard while there.

[1975chrismc]

A brilliant song that i can keep on listening to!

[kez51able]

What a lonely song this is but oh so beautiful......

[60srocker46]

this is without a doubt the best version of this song

[jpicol1]

Me and my husband meet because of this song. Across the ocean.

[ziggys24]

Love this one.I have been dancing to it every day, it always makes me cry....

[globalvoyer]

Great song +

[MrShabbyTiger]

I hate to burst the bubble... He wrote this song about his mother.... discuss

[boogs2007]

Hey Paul McDermott.

Mark Seymour called he wanted his song back but good news you're the opening act for the next concert.

[hc4jd]

Good, but not Paul Mcdermott good.

[carnthemightroos4eva]

Love it

[TheGypsyGirl72]

I love this song! It has so many memories for me ... I still love the man it reminds me off... ah :)

[deothang]

***CLASSIC***

[mixaXDaxim]

This will be my audition for xfactor AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!!

[fankhauser99]

OI OI OI !!! LOL :)

@mixaXDaxim

[vanisingacts]

One of my all time favourites, love every version of it.

[timmyfindlay]

I used to have a recording of this version (I love the knocking acoustic rhythm at the start) but can't seem to get it anywhere. Anyone know where I can download it?

[muckfundle]

@timmyfindlay keep me in the loop Timmy...it's a cool version and I would love to get it. I have the original 7" single from 1983 which was recorded live to 2-track digital in a rehearsal studio... pre-dates the album version that everyone touts as the original recording. If i ever get a record player again - i will digitise it for all to enjoy

[timmyfindlay]

@muckfundle I've got a CD on order from Amazon that is "Collected Works" [Import]. I seem to remember one of my brother's bringing it back to Australia from overseas and it had this version. Fingers crossed my memory will have served me correctly, but will certainly let you know.

[1970catrina]

The best song ever written!!! my favourite !!

[vtr1000kiwi]

Timeless classic.......she must have been pretty amazing......!!!

[kroag]

@vtr1000kiwi

yep one amazing woman I expect

[juliejag1]

awww

[mermaidwaves2u]

I love it too but it makes me sad too

[jcr169]

superb



[laurel3516]

for some reason this reason this song makes me sad

[Zanthxs]

thank you... incredible group

[stevemcarthur1981]

This is why I think men write better love songs. Sorry ladies.

[ArmitageShanks123]

for you VAVA

[repeatedjellyfish]

Best version, thanks for the upload.

[stevemcarthur1981]

This is a wonderful song and I'm so glad that it has lasted the test of time - even though it was not that big at the time

[sexybabibi]

so emotional, it makes my heart ache :-(

[sapphire60s]

@sexybabibi I just love your tribute to the song. Exactly how I feel about it too. Reminds me of my partner whom I will never meet again as he was killed.

[sexybabibi]

@sapphire60s I'm so sorry :-( xo

[talbertini1970]

does anyone know where i can download THIS version from?

this version is not available on itunes.

[fankhauser99]

@talbertini1970

Yeah, I've been wondering that! I look for it on itunes every so often but it's never there. I think that this version is the best version too!!

[talbertini1970]

@fankhauser99

it is by far the most popular version .. this is the tempo that they used when they did this song live. which i was able to purchase on itunes no prob. however trying to buy the recorded version is impossible!!!

someone sent me info on downloading from youtube so i could have this version but i haven't looked into it properly yet.

[xSimonne]

I like this, coz you can actually understand what he's singing. beautiful.

[annejody1]

beaut song love it

[thebatdad71]

I prefer this version, though the original is great. This was the first version I ever heard so maybe thats why.

[23arrows]

I love this slow version in addition to the original. Mark Seymour's voice is so distinctive, I've always loved Hunters & Collectors and nice to hear this again after too long! I'll be digging the vinyls out this week and listening all over. Thanks.

[yellowbelly1966]

I still prefer the oringinal version, apparently, when recording it they ahd so many versions of it because they could not get it right, but its hard to go wrong with a great song. Rebekaterry, try this one, though I am touching on rock royalty here and may suffer a few rude words thrown my way, but I think Roxy Musics version of Jealous Guy is better then John Lennons

[yellowbelly1966]

I still prefer the oringinal version, apparently, when recording it they ahd so many versions of it because they could not get it right, but its hard to go wrong with a great song.

[LIZAJAYNE1]

go the HR Holden

[aphrikevic]

My favourite version... great song.

[MarciMasala]

I love this version. Meatier than the original. A beautiful song no matter which version. You can't hear this song without feeling something.

[MarciMasala]

I love this version. Meatier than the original. A beautiful song no matter which version.

[KookyKez]

One of my all time favourite songs :) Music that touches

[rebekaterry]

I recall the original coming out around 1986, it was by far the better version, but I always say that the original is best (any song). Can anyone presuade me to change my views with a great example of where a cover is better than the original? (even by the same band?)

[entei206]

@rebekaterry gary jules cover of mad world originally done by tears for fears

[tyronnem]

Nice to see that in the 2.5 years since I uploaded this video, that it has had over 63,000 views and 100 comments.

Good music is universal and transcends all man-made boundaries (though I bet most of the views/comments are from Aussies). I myself are from Canada and used to listen to this song a lot in high school.

Anyway Viva to Mark Seymour for adding 1 more song to the vast collection of fantastic memorable songs that exist for our human consumption!

[cmorrison74]

@tyronnem - and two absolute cranker's didn't like it,,,,just 2 retard's...

[kgkidz4life]

@tyronnem then thank you so much for uploading such a beautiful song.

[jiriji123]

@tyronnem This is the version i've had on my iPod for years. It IS from the Collected Works CD and is my favourite version of this beautiful song.

[tyronnem]

@jiriji123 Thanks for letting us know. Too bad that CD is out of print ... although probably can get it on EBAY / private sellers for a ridiculous price..

[csierral]

I will come to you in the nightime

[fankhauser99]

You say it's a slower version compared to the 1986 original - but when was this version recorded?

[TeeMagee]

@fankhauser99 It was actually released as a single in 1985, but was on their 1986 album. This version though, was recorded in 1990 for the release of their compilation album.

[boozerMick]

rated & faved..brillian song! thanks

[Kenezei911]

great clip

[jay2004023]

Peral Jam do an awsome cover of this song. The song suits Eddie's voiceso well. But it is hard to beat the original.

[grunt182820]

@jay2004023 ok here is the thing BULLSHIT ok

[MrGinsal]

my current song of the week

[petercouri]

what a beautiful song............

[DitzyGorgeous]

hmmm prove it..

[AusPat1993]

Great Song. This version is far better than the earlier version.

[vars666]

the smartest anthem ever written

[kgkidz4life]

Amazing song, and by far the better version of the song.

[Irondave5110]

I lived in Perth for 6 years in the late eightiees, played in a few bands. The music around at that time was just the best, never equaled. Sitting here now in Chelmsford England, I look back and think, shit that was sooo good.

[shusti123]

wasn't this the shane and angel song on Home and Away???

[pakreecekennedy]

i recon its some sicko.......stawking some chick.....& he will come for her at night time.....

& make her never forget it......

[shininglitewithin]

I WILL!

[tan3666]

"If you disappear out of view you know I will never say goodbye and though I try to forget it you will make me call your name and I'll shout it to the blue summer sky"....this line says it all to the man I will always love no matter how long were apart!!!

[xxxx30pack]

Nice.....

[gerryluce1968]

Mark Seymour is an Aussie born in Victoria

[fergsnando]

Gives me goose pimples......

[sheppy001]

you should get that checked out

[takentothelimits]

this bloke is a kiwi so ive heard

[melbgal]

Born In Benalla (Northern Victoria). Maybe coz his brother was with Crowded House and Neil Finn is a Kiwi.... :)

[TopseCretsable]

its funny a glimpse of this bloke and Guy Pearce looks like him lol...great song!

[cheekygirl1972]

Beautiful song.

[lawrenc1]

So please humor this American; is the greatest hits album the one called "Natual Selection"? I brought "Human Frailty" home with me nine years ago because of this song, but until tonight, I had never heard this version, and now I need to get this one, as I think I like it better.

Any help is much appreciated.

[longbody01]

Mate the original was initially quicker tempo but the band listened to the producer.Having heard H&C live before they took off I've gotta say grab this version video and all it's more in touch with the time.Failing that.Search for Seymour and annoy the fuck outta'him.Lol

[longbody01]

And yes.This song dissolves the elastic in womens underwear if you know all the lyrics.

[BigJAG2004]

This version is on Collected Works.

[waynecrowley]

@lawrenc1 This version is good, but H&C live were stunning. As far as covers of this song Paul McDerrmotts is the best I have heard. Sends shivers up my spine. I was in SA last year and made friends with lady who had lost her 20 year son the year before and I sent her the lyrics and link to Paul McDermotts version.

Classic song that has stood the test of time.

[enarebee]

love this.

[thebresker]

too true. This song > 10,000 Home and Aways

[shaynedvers1]

Home and away and hunters in the same paragraph, well f##k me, the world has gone to sh)t.

[chucksfan1]

Many years ago, Aussie soap used this to back the sad death of one of its characters. Outside scenes are shot at Palm Beach in Sydney. Several years later, my family and I were in Sydney and we just pulled up at the site at Palm Beach where they film many scenes to that show. Then just at that moment, this song, this version came on the radio. Hell, was that spooky!!!

[SparkysSparklers]

That was probably "Shane"s death on Home & Away... Dieter Brummer (Angel played by Melissa George)

I could be wrong tho, but the time frame seems right? Someone help me out here lol

[jodesonmag77]

@SparkysSparklers  - EXACTLY CORRECT MATE - WELL DONE.

[enarebee]

scary!!

[johncarolynthomas]

aussiechickinfrance

it's a beautiful long distance love song

[ampallang7]

Classic!, from a kiwibird, aussie has its own sound, gotta be that red soil, chur bru.

[SueyFoFuey]

In my world, this is one of the greatest songs of all time :):):) One of my favorites :)

[rockchick80s]

Thanks for the share flybreath - WOW. Never heard of them - Love it. Great Post.

[69MrFrIeNdLy69]

luv it : ) pearl jams redo is good too : )

[mspaige06]

besy one night stand song ever

[wakumallama]

TehHatMan, if this is "crappy" then I would hate to have your friends! Break the mould, Start a trend, The eighties was a great decade, I lived through it all!

love this version best... so sweet and sensual.

[georo233]

The slow version is more poignant

[washytown88]

poignant?

[wendys120]

"Affecting or moving the emotions". That's what poignant means.

[TehHatMan]

This Is One Of My Favourite songs, has been since i first ever heard it :P, My friends all think for a 15 year old i got some pretty crappy taste in music, Shit happens a, there loss :) Great Song, You Gotta love it

[longbody01]

Mate your taste is above the mob!Anyone can do Doof Doof!This is the stuff that disolves underwear!

[iloveknitting1]

@longbody01 I have never in my 46 years on this earth heard it said any better than that!! Brilliant

[jonzot]

This is a classic, they'll still be playing it in 50 yrs time. Can't say that about most of the shit coming out now.

[cycoturkey101]

dude ur just breaking away from the crowd, and that's the best thing anyone can do, you live by your terms, not by magazines or celebritys

[RDKF13]

My Mother favourite song.

[ridethelapras]

I can't decide whether I like this version or the fast version more.

The slow version is very nice as a standalone song, but it wouldn't fit in on the album at all.

The fast version is more in line with the overall sound of Human Frailty.

[longbody01]

At 2.30 in the morning with your arms around the waist of a warm blonde chick listening to this live,well mate figure it out for yourself.

[reidy19]

i much prefer this version to the faster one..

[Plastikfantastik]

yeah, fits the mood way better. Makes more sense.

[kingbrenty]

a sad cases always take great songs and link them with death.

move on...get over it.

[maxine111]

Great song, i think it's about a one night stand....

[Mica26Richter]

My family burried my brother to this song.

[sidplicity]

appropriate song for that, im at funeral tomorrow

[unusualsuspect71]

Im sorry to hear your brother died, I know what thats like my brother is buried in Fremantle cemetery. We used a song by Evermore.

[Jordo507]

[leanda27]

[crotches882]

Oh I love this so much! Great, one of my favorite bands.

[58goodlands]

[60srocker46]

this is a very good song . there was a faster version but i like this version of the song, and its even better live

[kingbrenty]

[GKFC]

Er, it's a music video.

They're supposed to be lip syncing genius...

[kingbrenty]

[GKFC]

[kingbrenty]

[GKFC]

And now you're attacking me?

Get a clue.

[kingbrenty]

stop having sex with relatives and animals

[bomberstillidie]

yep. this is the best version. great song!

[aensilysh]

this is the version i love.

[jenzit]

Some might remember the scene oh Home & Away. Shane dying in the arms of Angel up on the cliff rocks............

[freakyobsessed]

haha i discovered this song on "20 to 1 top raunchy songs" hhahah LOVE it. cant believe i didnt know such a classic

[IamSkibur]

Wow... Think of how much great music you must be missing out on! Get out there and find some more!!!

Don't wait for Bert to introduce it to you ;)

[Alandiggers79]

I loved Angel!

[longbody01]

Gotta admit I saw the original faster version live at a pub gig but this one is the one I woke up to on rage the following morning with a thumper of a bundy hangover.Didnt hurt so much and It's grown on me.If your interested Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam I think did a live version of it with Seymour,Vedder did his usual urr,urr vocals but seymour swung the lead.probably wasted on the yanks in the audience.

[davidHasselhoff]

Well it was performed in Perth so I don't know what your point is about Yanks.And Eddie did a great job might I add.

[DevaRupa]

Aaah! the longing for love

[skinnaofhim]

hey bluesteadyaircraft ur a wanker

[synthpopfan]

Hi,

What album is the slower version of this song on? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Again

[jenzit]

Its on their greatest hits album.

[berwickleah]

The best version would be the live album Under One Roof :)

[aliciacole93]

[EltonJohnRULESSSS]

[midgey4747]

[chiselfan1981]

I've heard this song is sometimes played at weddings, damn what a great Aussie rock band/song. Fuck this yank shit off and bring back the Aussie pub rock I totally love

[epistrophy68]

Dang, I remember these guys from "120 Minutes"! I'd forgotten all about them. Curse Youtube's "Related Videos" feature; I may NEVER get off here today!

[celeron1743]

[ajsjoberg]

[littleblackdress35]

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou for uploading!!!

[celestemoon]

Wasn't there an original earlier than 1986, which only had the first verse?

[kensane]

There was, but it did have the second verse too. Maybe you were listening to a radio edit or something :)

[WRSRLOVE]

Best Song ever!!

Gives me such a great feeling when I hear it...GREAT MEMORIES

[johnmc58]

My favourite version.... thanks for posting !
