Ed Sheeran performing Hunters & Collectors’ ‘Throw Your Arms Around Me’ has been shared online.Sheeran’s version of the track, which was first released in 1984 by the band, features on a new 50th anniversary compilation of the Australian label Mushroom Records. You can listen to it below.“I feel weird saying this because I’m English and we have songs that are massive in England that other people don’t know know too, but the first time I actually heard this song was at Michael Gudinski’s [Australian record executive] memorial when it was played by Mark Seymour, and what I loved about it was the simplicity of the lyrics and the randomness of it … It’s a very, very individual weird cookie but also so conversational.” the singer-songwriter said in an interview with Mushroom Records.Last year, Seymour teamed up with Crowded House to perform the single at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne.
