    Savage Garden is a Australian band really popular in the late 90's. Over here they were always chart topping with so many of their songs. Darren Hayes has amazingly unique vocals and alot of emotion when he sings.

  • @irinavalerieva3762

    They have only two albums as a band (sadly) but Darren Hayes has released a few solo albums as well. I envy you for just getting to know them. I still remember the feeling when I heard their songs for the first time. Their albums got me through my high school years. The songs have stood the test of time, in my opinion.

    A lot of people mention 'Truly Madly Deeply' or 'I Knew I Loved You' when talking about Savage Garden, but their song 'Crash and Burn' is my favorite. This one is a close second.
    EDIT: Also, Darren Hayes has a voice like silk.

    Oh my gosh - I watch a lot of reactors, quite frankly because I enjoy watching someone reflect back to me my own love of particular songs. You however, philosophise about the songs in a way that I hadn't necessarily thought about. Your thoughts on this were great - your take of the different ears was also intelligent and intuitive. Great reaction.

    Did you know Darren Hayes was fan of Roxette? In 2011, he was the opening act for the Roxette concert in London, and he sang a part of "Listen to your heart" (minute 7:38) ua-cam.com/video/JFYMZiH1OxI/v-deo.html

    Savage Garden ended around the new Millenium. The guitarist/songwriter Daniel Jones hated being a pop star and he walked away from the band at their height.

    A bit late, but I have loved this song since it came out. As a teenager I sat in my car after work with the song on, along with Matchbox, Pearl Jam, and others, and cried myself out before going home so my family wouldn't know how messed up I was. It really is powerful.
    To your point about the difference between now and then I would say that in the 90s we had lost what we had been told was our grounding purpose in opposing Russia and we felt adrift. The music was looking inward and seeing all of the darkness and struggle, but there was always a feeling of hope, of almost grabbing the light that we could just see out of the corner of our eyes, themes of struggle, but a recognition that everyone was there, and that we could sit and hang with our friends for an hour, skateboarding, talking, whatever it was, and not mention our struggles, but draw strength from knowing everyone was there with similar feelings.
    Today, with social media and the shift from in person to online interaction we have never been so isolated. The music today isn't searching, it's nihilistic. It thinks that it has found the truth, that there is nothing to seek and that self-centered hedonism is the only enlightened path.
    Strangely, I feel Taylor Swift is the perfect example of that transition. Her early stuff was hopeful, narrative and bright. About love and relationships and coming together. Slowly her themes changed to temporary happiness, self-focus and wealth. It's really depressing to go back to her first album and realize that she has become everything the villains in those songs represented.
    Sorry for the novel, but I broody right now and watching people experience these songs for the first time always buoys me up.

    My top 3 would be Affirmation, Crash and Burn and I Want You. And I don’t think you’ve done those yet. Mind you though.. Hold Me, The Lover After Me, and Two Beds and a Coffee Machine are also up there for me as well.
