## Key points

- Julia Jacklin gives the 1984 song a spare, acoustic treatment.
- The original was recorded by Australian band Hunters & Collectors.
- Crowded House, Pearl Jam and Neil Finn and Eddie Vedder have also covered it.

## Summary

Julia Jacklin has covered Hunters & Collectors’ 1984 song “Throw Your Arms Around Me” in a live-in-studio session for SiriusXMU. Her version recasts the Australian band’s rousing rock song as a slow, mostly acoustic ballad, showing how it can work in a very different musical setting.

The song has also been covered by Crowded House and Pearl Jam, and a version by Neil Finn and Eddie Vedder appeared in the second season of *The Bear*. Jacklin, whose album *The Gem* came out in September on 4AD, performed with a backing singer and guitarist; she also covered Sugar Ray for Triple J during the album’s release campaign.
