Subject: CHOPRO: Hunters and Collectors "Throw Your Arms Around Me"
Someone asked for some Hunters and Collectors. This is probably their
best known song and it's a simple beauty. I normally play it in D
though because that suits our singer's voice better.

[E]I will come for you at night[A]time
I will [E]raise you from your [B]sleep
I will [E]kiss you in four pla[A]ces
As I go [E]running along your [B]street
I will squeeze the life out of you
You will make me laugh and make me cry
And we will never forget it
You will make me call your name and
I'll shout it to the blue summer sky
{soc}
And we may [E]never meet a[A]gain
So [E]shed your skin and lets get [B]started
And you will [E]thr[A]ow your [B]arms around me
Yeah, you will [E]thr[A]ow your [B]arms around me
{c: Intro}
{eoc}
I dreamed of you at nighttime
And I watched you in your sleep
I met you in high places
I touched your head and touched your feet
So 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
{c: Chorus}

| Ive heard Pearl Jam, and Crowded House both do covers of this song, and both were brilliant...But Hunters still do it so well... Eddie Vedder was a good friend of the guys from Split Enz, Crowded House and Hunters and Collectors (the lead from Hunters is the brother of the basist from CH)...Thats why Pearl Jam, or atleast Eddie Vedder does lots of stuff with the Finn brothers, Crowded House or Hunters. | |

| I love this song..even though it's about a one night stand I can't believe there aren't more comments. I mean I'm all for social responsbility and like if you listen to their perspective at least they admit their true intentions! Plus...it just sounds great. 1 | |

| this song is beautiful, its obviously about a one night stand " we may never meet again, so shed your skin and lets get started". H&C re-released this song a few times because it never took off but now its one of the greatest love songs ever (even though its about a one night stand). | |

| Hi all. pharmageek's second fact is a bit skewed, Tim Finn rescued Eddie Vedder! Well, a lifeguard rescued Vedder while Tim Finn laughed at him, probably. | |

| A few quick facts: 1) "Throw..." is pretty much the Australasian theme song among all the covers done by much of the music scenes of NZ and Australia. 2) While surfing with Eddie Vedder, Tim Finn had slipped into a riptide--w/o the quick rescue by Vedder, Finn would've drowned to his death within minutes. | |

| Rentak you're definately right about that. This song is great and one of my favorites. The meaning however is pretty self explanatory. I think it's about a longing and love for someone. I first heard this song through Pearl Jam covering it in some of their concerts. It's a great rendition but this song is so great it's hard to ruin it. | |
