DAAS - Throw Your Arms Around Me (2003)

[Dontmessyourself1]

I'd tap that...lol

[QuirkyGirl12345]

My favourite bit is from 3:13 til 3:27.

For a number of reasons.

The beautiful harmony sends shivers down my spine.

The low notes of Tim and Rich and the high note Paul hits, together sound angelic.

But most heart-breakingly:

The shot after of the three of them and the genuine smiles on their faces after performing together after so long. Tim has a stupid grin plastered on his face, Richard looks so pleased and Paul hides a little grin that you can just see.

Makes me cry every time. xx

[JubbaFlubba12]

best version EVA!!!!!!! I LOVE PAUL he is seriously the most underrated singer in Australia!!!1

[chugs1984]

ten thousand women swoon as they hear Paul

I will come for you at nighttime

I will raise you from your sleep

I will kiss you in four places

lol

[debmart81]

@dylandunshea Tim got MS?

[Starhunter1975]

@debmart81 You need to watch the video of Tim and Paul talking about it on GNW.

[daaskapital1]

@debmart81 Yes he did unfortunately, its what essentially caused their split up. He couldn't perform all the cool shit after a while of being diagnosed.

[Dylandunshea]

too bad Tim got MS. they might still be going today. how good would that be?

[Grantp1uk]

These guys singing this still sends shivers down my spine nearly 20 years after I first heard it.

[Braddles5000]

This is and always will be my most favourite song in the universe <3

[Yowie9644]

Best. Version. Ever

[wefting]

why did these guys breakup .Seen them a few times in dublin .NEARLY died laughing

[Starhunter1975]

@wefting Tim got sick with MS and they just couldn't do it any more. It was a sad time for all when they parted ways back in 1994/1995.

Listening to this is like bathing in moonlight. Amazingly beautiful

[landscapecadmonkey]

i loved Hunters, but DAAS/Pauls version redefines it.

[JoanneKS69]

Since moving to the USA 10 years ago, I'd forgotten about DAAS. Great rendition.

[Starhunter1975]

@JoanneKS69 You never really forget DAAS. They always seem to find away to come back.

[dewocket]

anyone have a high quality audio of this song?

[jonquills66]

Without doubt one of my all time favourite songs. This version shines...

[aclarke95]

Happy birthday timmy, 16th/11th/10

[iTheClownPrince]

His voice is like a combination of Fergie and Jesus...

[DMcWild]

GOOSEBUMPS !!!!

[Toastie87]

@DMcWild ditto

[kain50bc]

I remember watching this live on TV when it was on. Never knew it wasn't the original so everytime i heard the H&C original i would think "god this sucks compared to DAAS" people disagreed

i still think so though

[Pook365]

@kain50bc

I also assumed this was an origonal song and only found the H&C version on YT a few years ago...

It's not often that a cover blows the origonal away quite so much as this does...

[DMcWild]

@Pook365  This is so true...i do like this cover better than the original one too!

[JoanneKS69]

@kain50bc How could you not know H&C was the original? Guess you never saw them live.

[Starhunter1975]

I do love this song. It reminds me of the one I heard them sing live. That made me cry and so does this one. Only Holly could have got them to sing together again. What a life she had growing up on the set of The Big Gig and other shows her dad made.

[RolandDeschain1]

I still think this is the best version of that song ever. Just as their version of 'Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood' is the best version of that song ever recorded.

[pyrothesis1]

Great song, last time I watched this it was out of sync but it's back in sync now which only makes it better

[Pollysylabicify]

They did this song dozens of times over the years, sometimes using a choir, sometimes Paul was more dominant and Tim more subtle, this time however they get the balance absolutely perfect. Paul rightfully seems to be the star of this show but Tim and Rich are backing him with more beauty and finesse than most lead vocalists in the world could.

[QuirkyGirl12345]

what happened to the long version of this?

[hc4jd]

Oh God I'm crying that was beautiful.

[Jessabelle86]

I'm glad that this has been reposted. It really is just beautiful to hear. Makes me want to sing and cry every time I listen to it. Truly beautiful.

[monkeyskull23]

Beautiful rendition of this song by them. I just adore their voices! Apparently they also performed 'I Fuck Dogs' at the For Holly concert, but they couldn't air it, for obvious resons ;) Holly Robinson's story is very sad, yet inspiring at the same time. She was very brave.

[pauldmackie]

Would like to know if a high-quality recording of this version was ever released, either on DVD or CD...?

Also, it seems that the source video cited here has been taken down. Pity.

(Not that I'm complaining - thanks for posting this, micited.)

[djfrisky]

This is my all time favourite song .. paul's version simply shines above all! there is no equal... I have heard em all...

[klanger]

@djfrisky i'm just so very sorry that holly died a few after this concert

[RolandDeschain1]

One of the greatest moment in Australian television history.

[rjom2450]

The best ever harmonies working magic on one of the greatest ever songs out of Australia. I never tire of listening to this.

[dprolfe]

this was the concert for holly I think

[HaydenRhysPeek]

@dprolfe thats why at the end paul goes "thats for holly"

[klanger]

@HaydenRhysPeek i'm just so so sorry that holly robinson died a few weeks after the concert,gutted.god bless Australia

[JenTurtle91]

Wow...... Somehow this has even more emotion in it than their original version....gotta love the harmonies too, these lads were brilliant

[CheeseOnWheels]

Those harmonies make it sound like there's 30 dudes singing. This shit breaks my heart in the best possible way every time I hear it. So good.

[itachisinner]

wow tim looks nice here. they all do
