Yes Jamel!!! I’m so so happy you’re listening to savage garden. This was my childhood. Their music literally saved me from some tough times. Their two albums are fantastic. Darren Hayes is also an amazing singer songwriter on his own. Look his songs up, the words are phenomenal and so truthful and relatable.
When I was 19 back in the year 2000, my gf at the time won tickets to see them live. I bitched and moaned as she dragged me because I was into skate punk and hip hop only. They were so awesome in concert. They were probably one of the groups that made me realize I was missing out on great music because of my close-mindedness.
For me it was 98. This song was in heavy rotation on the radio and at that time all I had was a room I was renting and a radio. So this song always takes me back to laying in bed after a long night shift and shower with my first long term girlfriend. At 19 the room, radio, and stupid young love was all we needed.
Jamel… These guys are an Australian group & enjoyed enormous success on our local charts here & also overseas. Their music is still played very frequently on radio stations here thanks to overwhelming demand from fans 🇦🇺✌️😁✌️🇦🇺
Sta. Monica is a hidden gem in their first album which is a total ear worm, I remembered I played that tape to death, right now it is still in my spotify playlist that brings me back to my childhood.
Love Savage Garden. Great Aussie band. Check out "Crash And Burn", "Affirmation", "To The Moon And Back", "I Knew I Loved You", "Two Beds And A Coffee Machine"... I could go on but that's a good start.
I loved the first album , but unfortunately like several Rock/pop of the time it was the ballad that sold and the second album iirc was all ballads, which where the most standard and least interesting.
@@davidbell5528 A lot of the second album were ballads but there were plenty of songs that were not, and the ones that were more uptempo were outstanding. Plus, even "I Knew I Loved You" has a version called the "Mini Me Remix" or something similar which turns it into an up-tempo dance track. :)
Jamel… Savage Garden consists of Darren Hayes (lead vocals) & Daniel Jones (instruments & backing vocals) & were formed in Brisbane, Australia, back in 1993. One of their most successful songs was a number called “Affirmation” & other hits of theirs include “Truly, madly, deeply”, “The Animal song” & “I knew I Ioved you” ✌️😁🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Hits include: "I Want You", "To The Moon And Back", "Truly Madly Deeply", "The Animal Song", "I Knew I Loved You", "Crash and Burn", "Affirmation" & "Hold Me".
Savage Garden was HUGE in the 90s while I was in high school! This song was featured on a lot of soundtracks, and was used in an early-ish episode of "Dawson's Creek". Such a great track!
@@ClickToPreview Me too! I'm rewatching it for...Idk, the 3rd or 4th time? lol I'm still in the middle of season one, but it's certainly been interesting rewatching it as an 'older' millenial!
When you started the song I started thinking "he's not ready for this" the music kicked in and I said "buckle your seat belt" the zoom had me rolling. 🤣
This is what did it it for me! One listen and I was hooked on this Australian duo. Love that Chica cherry cola! I played this until I wore it out! Good job Darren and Daniel. Wish you were still together!
when this came out it was so refreshing for me because i loved 80s and early 90s pop then grunge came a long and i had nothing to listen to until Savage Garden came out and finally good pop music was back
It's so funnyvthat this was their first track, because if you ask most people who remember Savage Garden, they will mention the ballads "Truely Madly Deepky" and "I Knew I loved You". Darren Hayes, as such an amazing voice.
That’s awesome that you did a video on this song. The lead singer over on his Tiktok made a video were he sings the lyrics and let people sing with him. Super cool dude.
One of these guys' dad was a cleaner at a school that I used to work at. They were just about to break through. A few months later the song appeared on the opening of an episode of Melrose Place.
This was always on the radio growing up in New Zealand. I still remember running to the kitchen when it came on and sliding on the varnish floor to begin singing along to this song.
Not really. You'd have been what - 37 or so when this came out? It's not unheard of for people in their 30's to listen to the current pop music of their day.
As others have said, this album was dope. I actually called the order of the singles after the first time I listened to it end to end. On my local station there was like 4 or 5 singles off this album. Always liked it.
Love this song by Savage Garden they RULED the airwaves back in the day!! Rick Beato just mentioned you in one his recent videos. You Tube is doing some weird stuff lately. They're hiding channels from the algorithm
This was one of my favorite songs from the 90's! I can still sing the whole thing too. And believe me, it took a while to get the beat down with the words. Good times.
Darren had a solo song after Savage Garden. Don't think it was a big hit here in the States but it might have been in his home country of Australia. I am not sure. But the name of the song was Insatiable. Just love that song and I think you would like it too. Of course it's about lovers.♥️ -Mary ua-cam.com/video/9u7hGkL57N8/v-deo.html
This song reminds me of being in hospital when I was a teenager. When a music video would come on the TV the female nurses would come running. They all had a crush on Darren Hayes. If only they knew lol
@@gatekeeper65 they only have 2 studio albums. The others are compilation albums. Only one of these ever hit number one outside of aus/nz and that was in Canada. Ask the average North American and European to name one savage garden song and they will have no clue who they are.
@@WaDarkPhoenix No way. I used to live in Canada, I live in the US now, and you still hear their hits on the radio. Most commonly Truly Madly Deeply and I Knew I Loved You. But also I Want You, The Animal Song, Affirmation and Darren's Insatiable. They were all huge hits in North America, and are still heard on the radio. Unfortunately not some others that were hits overseas, like To The Moon and Back.
I remember first seeing them after school on VH1. I was living on my own during my senior year. They sold 11M of their debut. The Australian version of that album is better btw. Check it out. They had two albums before splitting up. Daniel is now an executive and Darren continued on with some success. His first solo album in 01 is great. Check out I Knew I Loved You and To the Moon and Back.
Oh the memories! 1997. Here in South Africa some people thought it was a new song by Roxette. They have many awesome songs! To the moon and back my fave! Other gems are Two beds and a coffee machine, You can still be free, Affirmation, Tears of pearls. The list goes on ♥️
woohoo one of the most underrated 90´s/00 bands. very nice pop/ rock band. this song here reminds very much to roxette- joyride. of course now you must listen "truly, madly, deeply" or "to the moon and back" too.
I bought the album Savage Garden in 1997, and ever since it has been one of my all time favourite albums. This song, and all the others on the album, to me , are SO good.
This song came out in 1997 and it was EVERYWHERE. Radio had it in heavy rotation. Seriously heard it like every hour at one point. I highly recommend checking out "To the Moon and Back", "Animal Song" and "Affirmation" by Savage Garden. The singer, Darren Hayes, recently came out with new music after a I think 10 year hiatus.
You think it's daring to tell a woman "I want you but I don't know if I need you" but Meatloaf said "I want you I need you, but there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you" and Bruce Springsteen said "You ain't a beauty, but hey your alright". See how your night goes after saying that.
I actually had this song in my head recently. These guys were briefly pretty popular in the UK. I always thought he says "Ooh I'm dying to find out", but it's apparently "Ooh I would die to find out." Small difference, but still..
I don’t know why, but I have not been getting your notifications. In other news, this song was one of those songs for me that was monumental. The sound was fresh new vibrant and the lyrics were poignant. Can’t wait to see your reaction
Jamel I could go on for hours about this album. Enough to say - Thank you, You always make me come back to a good place. You see things very different then me, however you have assuredly consistently refocused my perspective to a place of contentment if not joy. This album brought me more reality, truth, and reflection on love then I care to remember. She has passed on, and my emptiness was liken to a universal portrayal of black hole. Yeah - I'm one of those who over see's into a song ....... always have ---- maybe that's their purpose.
The fast-paced delivery of the lyrics in the verses is what caught my attention initially, but the chorus is what reeled me in. This song is on a short list of songs that I loved the very first time I heard it.
I met someone that I was attracted to physically, it two months of seeing each other exclusively, and sleeping at one another's place every night, before we decided to finally commit. We were only together for four years, but are still "tell me where life touched you" type friends. We can tell each other anything.
This was their debut single if I remember, '97 I think. Came out of nowhere with their sound. "To the Moon and Back" is another awesome electronic rock song by them
I loved this song since I was a child. It brings up a memory of when I had to go to a funeral. I went for my great nana. I never met her though but I won't forget. It's a fun song to blast overall. My go to when I want nostalgia of the 90s.
Cheap Trick, I Want You to Want Me 🤣 Bridget Jones Diary, the greatest love song ever 🤣 .. Anywho, I Want You by Savage Garden is great. Do To the Moon and Back, pretty please 😁😁😁.. that particular song hits me in the feels due to my own family stuff growing up & it was the 1st song I heard by Savage Garden. I literally cried when I first heard it when it came out in the '90's. It really got me. One day, the right guy will want to fly to the moon and back for me & I him... Violet is another great song. 😄

My kids were at university and saw them twice...
The video might be 7 years ago, but the song is over 20 years old now!
...and I can still sing the whole thing through just like the good ol' days.
The video is 25 years old. It was posted seven years ago.
Yup, it's been probably 10 years ago that my daughters and I were singing this on "sing star" on the ps 😅. It's what I always think of when I hear it.
Video is 20+ years old
I just did... and it sent me here! :D
This song is still so damn catchy it had you singing along halfway through - I love it! 💜 Such a fun nostalgic song.
Jamel… These guys are an Australian group & enjoyed enormous success on our local charts here & also overseas. Their music is still played very frequently on radio stations here thanks to overwhelming demand from fans 🇦🇺✌️😁✌️🇦🇺
Stay Tuned Brotha👍🏾
Good band 😎
@@jamelakajamal this is there song I knew I loved you ua-cam.com/video/jjnmICxvoVY/v-deo.html
Saw them in perform live in Tasmania, they were amazing. Lots of fun for sure!! 😁😁
From Logan City
To the moon and back & truly madly deeply are also epic!
Sta. Monica is a hidden gem in their first album which is a total ear worm, I remembered I played that tape to death, right now it is still in my spotify playlist that brings me back to my childhood.
Just love this song. Brings back the 90's feels...
A famous anime/manga series called JoJo's Bizarre Adventure used this as their ending and it's based in the 90s
Hell yeah….. reminds me of working my first job at a gas station and hearing this song about 5 times a day.
The band said they wanted to bring the 80s into the 90s, and I can kinda see it in this video.
I was in 8th grade when this came out.ah the 90's.all kinds of nostalgia
Love Savage Garden. Great Aussie band. Check out "Crash And Burn", "Affirmation", "To The Moon And Back", "I Knew I Loved You", "Two Beds And A Coffee Machine"... I could go on but that's a good start.
This whole album is the bomb!!! IMO!! People laughed at them when they came out but I loved them!!!!

Wow how in the 90’s they laughed at all the good stuff. Lol now they miss it!
I love Savage garden they are Iconic, They are also a Huge part of my childhood

'Love To The Moon and Back' and 'Break Me, Shake Me'. Still regularly on my playlist.
Same

Yes, I always thought this was heavily influenced by the 80s .. love it
Yep! I hated most of the 90's music, but LOVED this song!
I have a greater appreciation for grunge now, but…I can relate.
7yrs ago? More like 25....song came out in '97! My favorite era of music, personally! 😁
It's so funnyvthat this was their first track, because if you ask most people who remember Savage Garden, they will mention the ballads "Truely Madly Deepky" and "I Knew I loved You".
Darren Hayes, as such an amazing voice.
I love, love, love Savage Garden. They have so many great songs. My favorites are "Crash and Burn" and "Two Beds and a Coffee Machine".
Second that. Actually, my fave is "I Knew I loved You," but my fave out of their lesser-known stuff is "Two Beds and a Coffee Machine."
@@DougRayPhillips Oh I love "I Knew I loved You" too. Such a great song.
Two beds and a coffee machine is lovely and I love the message about abusive relationships and moving on from that
I agree
That’s awesome that you did a video on this song. The lead singer over on his Tiktok made a video were he sings the lyrics and let people sing with him. Super cool dude.

Their song “two beds and a coffee machine “ is amazing! I saw them in concert when I was a teen and I’ve loved them ever since.
Can we please have a savage garden-a-thon for us Aussies loving the trip down memory lane 😍
Love this entire album…
Me too. This is one of the few 90s albums I still have in my collection!
@@Cheryl_Haydon same, I have quite a few 90s songs / albums. I love it, I’m all about nostalgia for sure :)
This was always on the radio growing up in New Zealand. I still remember running to the kitchen when it came on and sliding on the varnish floor to begin singing along to this song.
Oh man these are 90s classics. 🔥👍🏼
I had a Canadian friend who was a savage garden fan.
I bought her the Affirmation CD (Australian version) when it first came out.
Yes!
This is my phone's ring tone.
I know it is strange for a nearly 62 year old.
Not really. You'd have been what - 37 or so when this came out? It's not unheard of for people in their 30's to listen to the current pop music of their day.
This is a song that I can listen over and over and not get get tired of it. It's really catchy and I really like the start of the chorus.
As others have said, this album was dope. I actually called the order of the singles after the first time I listened to it end to end. On my local station there was like 4 or 5 singles off this album. Always liked it.
I literally laughed out loud when you first heard the lyrics and how fast!!! You are awesome!! So was this band! Xo
My brain uses this song when ever I have a crush.
Love this song by Savage Garden they RULED the airwaves back in the day!!
Rick Beato just mentioned you in one his recent videos.
You Tube is doing some weird stuff lately. They're hiding channels from the algorithm

ohhh a 90s, 00s throwback! its catchy!!!
Wow! Have not heard this in years! Thanks for the smiles, Jamel!
Hate to be that fan, but this song was used as the outro to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 4, and I think it's a pretty good one.
No shame, here with you on that!
Wow, mid 90's. Love this song. Loved this album. Still love all this. I love watching you react to things. Keep it up.

I Knew I Loved You is probably the song Savage Garden is known for, but most of their music was great
Definitely check out some more Savage Garden, They're one of Australia's unknown gems :)
Actually they're very well known all over the world. Three of their albums were among the top selling albums of all time.

@@WaDarkPhoenix belgian (born '83) and I know them 🥰👍🏻 But I was/am a huge fan of Silverchair too, maybe I have it with the Aussie bands 😅🤷🏻♀️
Nothing like being a teenager in the 90's in Australia. This was our band for sure! :D

Not many songs that you could listen to over and over again, all day long and not get tired of it.
This is one of those songs.

1990's skate deck sessions were so much fun back in the day. all the great music that was played you hadn't heard of.

I LOVE Savage Garden!!!
I've always loved Savage Garden ❤❤❤❤❤
so good! you should do "i knew i loved you" "to the moon and back" :)
Seeing people react to my favorite song fills me with so much joy
I saw you listened to Truly Madly Deeply already. I’d recommend Break Me Shake Me as well. ❤️
Truly madly deeply is their biggest hit
I bought the album Savage Garden in 1997, and ever since it has been one of my all time favourite albums. This song, and all the others on the album, to me , are SO good.
Affirmation by these is amazing
THAAAAANKYOOOOOUUUUU!!
I grew up with Savage Garden, they were such an incredible duo.
We make them good in Australia xx
Love both their albums!
Savage garden my teenager memories ❤️ 🤗 " to the moon and back" great too 👌 ❤️
Thanks for this video and reaction. They were great back in the 90,'s. The album came out in 1997.
My favorite is “like a deep sea river who is swimming with a rain coat” heehee! Love!
love the fact you just enjoy music and are willing to test the waters with new to you music.
As a 90s baby....tis good to hear classics like this

To the Moon and back and Break me Shake me are a must! 🙏
This my all time favorite song 🎧 by them
When my niece was a baby, we would put this song on when she was in her Jolly Jumper...she would go nuts!
We must go down this rabbit 🐇 hole😁😁😁😁😁
You think it's daring to tell a woman "I want you but I don't know if I need you"
but Meatloaf said "I want you I need you, but there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you"
and Bruce Springsteen said "You ain't a beauty, but hey your alright".
See how your night goes after saying that.
I LOVE THIS SONG 🎵!!! 🎵 ❤ THANKS JA
It's been over a decade!!! Thank You! I didn't know I forgot...
This was when savage garden started 😁
They were really popular here in Canada as well
I actually had this song in my head recently. These guys were briefly pretty popular in the UK.
I always thought he says "Ooh I'm dying to find out", but it's apparently "Ooh I would die to find out." Small difference, but still..
First memory I have of a favorite song
I don’t know why, but I have not been getting your notifications.

"Like a CH-CH-CHERRY COLA" is the best line of all time.
I thought I might disagree, but I cant think of a good argument.
Brother, I am seeing you on every song reaction I search for. Looks like I'll be checking out more than just your Mrballen reactions.
I think you have to hear "Affirmation" by them.
In high school the coolest kids knew all the words & proved it🙂🇦🇺
"What in the Bone Thugs is going on here?!"
HAHAHA
To The Moon And Back is my favorite from them
I remember this on the radio. I guess I never realized who the band was. Reminds me of "Information Society"
Omg I danced to this at tbe club back in the day!
“What in the Bone Thugs is going on in here.” I LAUGHED MY A** OFF!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love that Savage Garden got you singing along first listen. Great song 👍
I met someone that I was attracted to physically, it two months of seeing each other exclusively, and sleeping at one another's place every night, before we decided to finally commit. We were only together for four years, but are still "tell me where life touched you" type friends. We can tell each other anything.
i have a fond memory of hearing this playing at an Austin, Texas stripe club back in like 1998
I'm 33. This takes me back to simple times.
This was their debut single if I remember, '97 I think. Came out of nowhere with their sound.
"To the Moon and Back" is another awesome electronic rock song by them
I requested this song. Thanks!
