Crowded House are a rock band formed in Melbourne, Australia, in 1985. The founding members were New Zealander Neil Finn (vocalist, guitarist, primary songwriter) and Australians Paul Hester (drums) and Nick Seymour (bass). Later band members included Neil Finn's brother, Tim Finn, and Americans Mark Hart and Matt Sherrod.
Crowded House is the self-titled debut album by the band Crowded House. It was released in 1986 and produced by Mitchell Froom. The album was the first to feature band-leader Neil Finn following the break-up of his previous group Split Enz. The album includes the hit singles "Don't Dream It's Over", "Something So Strong", "Mean to Me", "World Where You Live" and "Now We're Getting Somewhere", the first four of which were included on the group's first greatest hits album Recurring Dream.
History
Following the breakup of Split Enz in 1984, Neil Finn and drummer Paul Hester decided to form a band. Bass player Nick Seymour approached Finn during the after party for the Melbourne show of Split Enz farewell tour and asked if he could try out for the new band. Former Swingers and soon-to-be Midnight Oil bass player Bones Hillman was also a candidate, but it was Seymour's playing on the demo for "That's What I Call Love" that earned him the spot. The group, then named The Mullanes, also included The Reels guitarist Craig Hooper, who left the band before they signed with Capitol Records. Capitol rejected the name "The Mullanes", as well as alternatives such as "Largest Living Things". The name Crowded House was adopted after the trio flew to Los Angeles to record the album and were provided with a very cramped apartment to live in.
"Throw Your Arms Around Me" is a song by Australian rock band Hunters & Collectors first released as a single in November 1984 by White Label for Mushroom Records. A re-recorded version of the song would later appear on the band's 1986 album Human Frailty. Written by bass guitarist John Archer, keyboardist Geoffrey Crosby, drummer Douglas Falconer, trumpet player Jack Howard, recorder/mixing engineer Robert Miles, vocalist/lead guitaristMark Seymour and trombone player Michael Waters. The song captures the intensity of sensual love at the same time portraying its fleeting nature with lyrics including "And we may never meet again, So shed your skin and let's get started".

Crowded House Throw Your Arms Around Me Live (12/13)
Great live concert from the CH. Probably my favorite taped performance of all time of theirs. I was supposed to seem the live in Columbus Ohio opening for Bruce Hornsby and the Range. Unfortunately, CH canceled to go play this concert in Daytona, FL. The upside is I've been playing this gem for over 20 years! Surprised the tape still works!

Throw Your Arms Around Me, Crowded House (FTTW).
Info:
Although not their own song (it was bassist Nick Seymours brother's bands song I think)
it lived on in the memory owing to their performance (warts and all) at their farewell
concert back in '96 (2nd last song of the evening).

Why do I kid myself Why do I scream for pleasure It's four in the morning should know better But she can weave a spell Want it to last forever Making me feel like somebody special Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep) Before it gets too late (just go to sleep) Doing damage to my brain Well here we go again Though I look everywhere I never seem to find it Always a shadow around a corner Drown it in alcohol Stuck in the elevator Hard to remember in the morning Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep) Before it gets too late (just go to sleep) Doing damage to my brain Well here we go again Tell you about myself If you're in the mood to listen Baby you don't know who you're kissing This is a lonely world You are a strange companion When you get what you wanted You want to leave Honestly I want to free myself From the burden of inaction Honestly I want to raise myself To any plane I can imagine Can't carry on this way (just go to sleep) Before it gets too late (just go to sleep) Doing damage to my brain Well here we go again
