Back to the Eighties: Throw Your Arms Around Me


Original video located here. Accessed 25th January 2023

Song title: Throw Your Arms Around Me

Artist: Hunters and Collectors

Year: 1986

Why I like this song:

Will this song ever die? Probably not.

Many years ago, i did single this song out as a 'love song with balls' and I still stand by that notion. Indeed, that it eschews anything saccharine for something more honest works in it's favour tremendously - and, let's face it, more difficult to pull off in a pop song let alone successfully.

It's timeless, never gets old, and those harmonies that climax the song are great.
