There are two Arms of Love (automatic era). One is an acoustic song. One is more strings. The strings one is amazing
I don't think I've heard this second version of Arms of Love that you speak of...

My personal favorites would be "Fretless", "It's A Free World Baby", "Arms Of Love", and "Organ Song".

i kinda forgot about draggin' the line. that was a good cover.
if i remember right, revolution isn't a favorite of many on here, but i dig that song a lot and it's cool to me that a line from it is used for the title.
thanks for this, a nice surprise find in this thread.
