Somehow I had never heard this song in the 80's, even tho I knew Talking to a Stranger and When the River Runs Dry. It has become one of my favorites from the era, altho I must say I hate the Eddie Vedder version.

There's footage of him singing it with Mark Seymour floating around too which isn't bad. I was going to say isn't it a 90's release but no its 1984!! Wow!!! Hunters and Collectors kinda lived in the shadow locally of Cold Chisel, Crowded House, Midnight Oil and INXS. And then you had the 90's 'grunge' bands that went on to displace them on commercial radio. Throw your arms around me and holy grail are both pub anthems which is probably the only reason they're still remembered.
