The Lemonheads led off the campaign for Come On Feel The Lemonheads in 1993 with a song that wasn't theirs, and it fit Evan Dando like a favorite old shirt. "Into Your Arms" was written by Robyn St. Clare for Love Positions, the Australian duo she had with Nic Dalton, who first recorded it back in 1989. When Dalton joined the Lemonheads in 1992, the tune came with him, and here he's on bass, with David Ryan on drums.

Dando sings it, plays the guitar and percussion, and produced it with the Robb Brothers, and what they made is jangle pop at its most unbothered: a bright, loping strum, a melody that sounds like it's been around forever, and Dando's warm, slightly sleepy croon offering comfort without breaking a sweat. It's pure sweetness in a year when a lot of alternative rock was busy scowling.

Atlantic put it out as the album's lead single in October 1993, and modern rock radio couldn't let go: it sat at number one on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks for nine weeks running, a record at the time that the band shared with U2. It also became a top-20 hit in Britain.
