Neil really does Mark’s song proud here. If ever a song deserved to be a worldwide smash hit it’s this one.

The thing is, this might not have been a commercial hit, but the vast majority of Australians over the age of 20-something could sing along to this song. It's definitely an Australian classic.

if you line up the aussie songs that everyone knows it goes: 1. You're the Voice 2. Throw Your Arms Around Me.

If Neil Finn sang Happy Birthday, it would still make tears well in my eyes.

Perfection. For me, it doesn't get better than Neil. And Roddy Frame right there on the stage next to him?!? Slice of heaven, right there.

Melissa I met Neil back stage in Denver and I told him how fingers of love got me through chemotherapy and radiation for Hodgkin's . I shook his hand and told him to have a great show and he said no , you have a great show . I've seen them 5 times and it's love love 💘

Mark Seymour what a song.

A voice to die for.

I remember watching this on BBC Two , as part of their ' Song writers Circle ' series. It must have been around 1999, I lived at 57 Hanger Lane, Ealing , it must have been around 1999. My girlfriend had gone , my job had gone, my 'resting ' actor drinking partner had gone. It was me and a bottle of Bulgarian red wine . Best evening I ever had .Grateful to be able to appreciate it all over again.

I love this song. I would love to have this session on DVD.

Gotta love this

Neil played privately for my former boss' 60th birthday. Acoustically like this.

It’s a hit in my book!!!

Absolutely love this song .. think its one of their best.

Neil made me throw my arms around this song.

What a wonderful performance

Classic song!!!

Jezz folks read a few of the other replies on here before you make a comment . So ya don't look so silly ! It's not their song and that's why they did not record it . Some bands are fine letting the original band do their thing with a song. Crowded House and Split Enz had tons of fun doing their own tunes. Here Neil takes a moment to share a song that grabbed him . He gave credit where it's due . Just enjoy the moment for what is is ...... Thanks Neil. Always in my collection . Keep having fun !

yes may be one day, you 'l throw your arms around me!... forever! and you 'l say "I love you!"

An absolute Aussie classic! And very well known by sections of the US as well thanks to Pearl Jam and Eddie Vedder and his love of this song - he even got Mark Seymour day n stage with him and the band at Madison Square Garden to perform it at their concert!

excellent song

Gorgeous voice. This song has wonderful memories for me and every time I hear it, I’m catapulted straight back to when the love of my life would sing it to me ❤

This is my second fav version of my second best aussie song....

Exquisite lyrics *sigh*

perfection

Very nice recording. Not a song I've heard before. Thanks. :)

A live version was on a Crowded House CD single back in the 90's

Neils rite my abs fav song eva w him singin it

Paul bloody McDermott!!

yes # 1 Make it a hit.....

@vegetarulz1234 No, I mean an Australian classic. Neil Finn didn't write this - Mark Seymour (Australian, and frontman of Hunters and Collectors) did.

H and C were a great group in their own right.

because it isn't a crowded house song, it's hunters & collectors

At this point in time, 15 Dislike this. What, don't like the song? Neil Finn? Crowded House? WTF brought you here? FFS. Not my favourite rendition, but still a great song by a great artist(s) FFS Enjoy!

of course I know that but I just wondered why they never released it as they had a much bigger profile and could have done much more with the song that Hunters and Collecters could have done.

Kwite possibly the best version of this lovely song ever

Je viendrai pour toi la nuit te surprendre dans ton sommeil t'embrasser et j'irai courir dans les rues heureux d'avoir découvert une autre vie tu me feras rire,tu me feras pleurer Et je ne t'oublierai jamais tu me demanderas d'appeler ton nom Et je le crierai dans le ciel bleu de l''été il se peut que nous ne puissions plus nous revoir! alors sans hésitation,tu te jetteras dans mes bras J'ai rêvé de toi la nuit j'observais ton sommeil Je te rencontrais dans dans les lieux célestes te touchant la tete et les pieds si un jour je te perdais, Tu sais que je ne te dirai jamais adieu Et bien que je chercherais à l'oublier tu me demanderais d'appeler ton nom je le crierais vers le ciel bleu d'été ... il se pourrait que nous ne puissions jamais nous revoir ... alors serre moi dans tes bras!

Because it's not their song. Neil is covering Hunters and Collectors

It always made no sense to me that Hunters and Collectors never became well known overseas, they had their loyal fans (esp in Europe) but never real mainstream success outside Australia

I was lucky enough to rent one of my old apartments in Canada (in Hamilton, Ontario) from an Australian landlady who introduced me to H & C's music. I've since bought 5 or 6 of their albums. Great band.

Why can't they write songs like this now?

Just admit it they did it better than the original. .get over it.

dude i don't think you understand, a band can't "release" a song that isn't theirs without consent from the songs originator... on top of that, Hunters released the track as a single in '84 (Crowded House didn't form until '85) Hunters put it on an LP in '86 (Crowded House didn't gain international success until '87)...+ i think Hunters did just fine with it, Eddie Vedder loves it & regularly plays it at live gigs... do you even know who Eddie Vedder is?

This song is not a hit because it's about a stalker/slasher murder. Creepy AF!
