"Your Swaying Arms" was the first single from the album Fellow Hoodlums by the Scottish rock band Deacon Blue.
Released in May 1991, it reached #23 on the UK singles chart, but went as high as #6 in Ireland, the last in the group's run of seven Irish top 10 hits between 1988 and 1991.
The releases contained two B-sides, "Fourteen Years" and "Faifley", both of which are rough, bluesy songs that Ricky Ross speaks and sings in a deep, raspy voice.
The 10" vinyl version, surprisingly, contained techno dance remixes of the otherwise placid track.
Famous quotes containing the words swaying and/or arms:
“Infinite hungers leap no more
In the chance swaying of your dress;
And love has changed to kindliness.”
—Rupert Brooke (1887–1915)
“Women have simple tastes. They can get pleasure out of the conversation of children in arms and men in love.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
