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.

Wow, what an absolutely powerful poem to being in love. This is just such a masterpiece of a song -- when many bands have trouble writing strong lyrics. Captivating, exhilarating, and very much standing the test of time, because so many other bands have discovered it and covered it. Bravo, Hunters & Colllectors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mark Seymour said this about the lyrics 'I was in a relationship with a woman I was very much in love with and she was the inspiration. I wrote virtually all the lyrics on Human Frailty about my relationship with her [...] Throw Your Arms Around Me was the first song I wrote that wasn't angry' I, like most people, relate to that; having been through some messy breakups. Those personal associations make this song an instant tear jerker.

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!

This song has been covered by some excellent artists who were/are more than capable of writing their own songs. Among all the great songs written and recorded by Australian artists, this song is the one that has been most frequently covered by artists who were seriously good songwriters in their own right. I think that this qualifies Throw Your Arms Around Me as the best song written and recorded by an Australian musical act.

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!!!
