Any song that can weave a Cherry Cola into its lyrics is bound to be good. Savage Garden was very underrated and their music has stood the rest of time.
way back in the 60s the Kinks had a hit with Lola - originally the lyrics referenced Coca Cola but the BBc would not play it due to advertising restrictions so the Kinks had to re-record it substituting Cherry cola to get around the restriction!!
When this song came on the radio a few years ago, I was taken completely by surprise when my mom began singing it! I never knew this song was her cup of tea until she was jamming along to the tune! Then I discovered that she had the Savage Garden album that has this song on it! SURPRISINGLY AWESOME!
Great Australian band. This debut album exploded. 10 of the 12 songs made the top 40 in Australia. Mid 90's. They had been writing songs for years, formed and spent months refining the best ones for the album.
25 years later and I still know every word. Savage Garden was huge in the late 90s and for a great reason! "I Knew I Loved You" was the biggest hit from their second album, but "Crash and Burn" will always be my favorite song by them!
Congrats on your 1900th video reaction!!! In their short existence (eight years as a band), they only put out two albums. This was their first hit, which came out in 1996 (YES, A 90S SONG!). "Truly Madly Deeply" came off the same album. "To the Moon and Back" and "Break Me Shake Me" are also worth checking out from that record. From their sophomore album, they had "The Animal Song", "I Knew I Loved You", "Affirmation", and "Crash and Burn". They got a lot of mileage out of those two albums! Gotta love those Aussie bands! (And may I recommend a couple of other Aussie bands you haven't heard yet - "What's My Scene" by Hoodoo Gurus, and "Under the Milky Way" by The Church.)
Finally!! When this song came out, it was the one that got me listening to the radio again. My sister and oldest daughter told me I had to hear it and I was instantly hooked! Darren Hayes, the ;lead singer, was previously an English teacher. Jay, you might also like "Break Me, Shake Me".
So sad to hear that “David Crosby” from Crosby , Stills and Nash died!!🥲 A lot of amazing music over the years!!! Glad you reacted to them yesterday!!!
“To the Moon and Back” is my favorite of theirs. You should check out LIFEHOUSE “Hanging by a Moment” Third Eye Blind “How’s It Gonna Be” or Edwain McCain “I’ll Be”
Savage Garden is in my all time top 5! Other great songs include: Crash and Burn, To The Moon and Back, I Knew I Loved You, Hold Me, Break Me Shake Me...
1st Verse: Anytime I need To see your face I just close my eyes And I'm taken To a place Where your crystal mind And magenta feelings Take up shelter In the base of my spine Sweet like a chick-a-cherry cola 2nd Verse: I don't need to Try and explain I just hold on tight And if it happens again I might move so slightly To the arms and the lips and the face Of the human cannonball That I need to I want to CHORUS 3rd verse: I'm the kind of person Who endorses a deep commitment Getting comfy Getting perfect Is what I live for But a look And then a smell of perfume It's like I'm down on the floor And I don't know what I'm in for 4th verse: Conversation has a time And place in the interactions Of a lover and a mate But the time of talking Using symbols Using words Can be likened To a deep-sea diver Who is swimming with raincoat. Come stand a little bit closer Breathe in and get a bit higher You'll never know What hit you When I get to you.
DARREN HAYES, the singer of Savage Garden, IMHO is the male version of Celine Dion. The man has a voice! they sold over 20 million albums in just two albums. Everyone has heard of I KNEW I LOVE YOU BEFORE I MET YOU. Darren is still going strong and has some phenomenal songs, Insatiable, So Beautiful, Animal song, Shake Me Break Me, To The Moon and Back, Darkness, I like The Way, etc....
"I have such a soft spot for this song and it just keeps coming back. It's based on a dream that I had where I fell in love with a boy. And when I woke up, I missed him. I didn't know how I would ever feel that feeling again. I had this almost beautiful melancholy, romantic grief. I remembered everything about this boy who I'd never met. The smell, the kiss, the feeling, the butterflies in my tummy, all that stuff. And so I spent about a week mourning that feeling. I used to think, 'Maybe if I go to sleep, I'll see him again.'" --Savage Garden's Darren Hayes on "I Want You"
This song and the previous one are both from their debut self titled album. They were pretty much the big hits from the album but I remember the whole album was great. Something you could listen to beginning to end. This song puts a smile on my face... when it was popular my kids were small... they loved the song and would dance around to it... they were always asking "Play the chicka cherry cola song" 😀
An amazing song with a positive message and I love the way that every line in the song starts with the same two words “ I believe” Genius! You can would definitely love it because I believe ( no pun intended😂) you would agree with what the song is about. Please try; To the moon and back I knew I loved you Crash and Burn To name but, a few. Thanks for another great reaction💜🌈🙏🏻
I played this album so much in my preteen years CD scratched up lol To the moon and back is another great song of this album. Their a late 90s Australian duo. Around the bubble gum pop phase 1995-2000.
Hayes publicly came out as gay in the early 2000s but was married to a woman and struggling with his sexuality when he was writing the duo's debut album. When asked if any of the songs in Savage Garden's catalog contained any coded gay messages, the singer told Billboard: "'I Want You' is a song about a dream about being in love with a male energy, and waking up and feeling sad that I knew there was a part of me that was missing." Hayes told Apple Music more about the dream that inspired the song. "I have such a soft spot for this song and it just keeps coming back," he said. "It's based on a dream that I had where I fell in love with a boy. And when I woke up, I missed him. I didn't know how I would ever feel that feeling again. I had this almost beautiful melancholy, romantic grief. I remembered everything about this boy who I'd never met. The smell, the kiss, the feeling, the butterflies in my tummy, all that stuff. And so I spent about a week mourning that feeling. I used to think, 'Maybe if I go to sleep, I'll see him again.'"
good times.. ^_^ 24-25 yrs old.. young, free, beautiful.. felt invincible.. even as i stumbled daily, didn't feel beautiful, but i did feel free... they're part of that soundtrack of my life..
Excellent l heard this song in the car on the way up to the country and thought that l would suggest it for a reaction video. And voila there you are on my screen
Savage Garden were local homegrown boys from here in Queensland Australia. Great duo. For a different type of song from them, check out "Two Beds and A Coffee Machine". It's bloody moving and a stain on our society that it's still so relevant. Another story-telling gem is "I Don't Know You Anymore"
Ok. A lotta people been wonderin a long time bout them. Is there any "real" music there? I may be in Wichita, but my roots go to Oklahoma, and you damn Okies make me wonder sumtimes. 😒
Savage Garden exploded in the 90's. They had signed a deal to perform at our local show in Queensland Australia, just before they hit the big time. They were just a couple of blokes in a band from Brisbane.They honoured the deal and came and performed for a low fee. So we saw them perform their hits at the show for the price of entry. This was just before they started touring the world. We also got to meet them afterwards. They were still excited to sign autographs and meet the crowd. Still have the signed cd!
This is a great song but "Truly, Madly, Deeply" is a total classic. One of my Top 5 of all time actually. #1 is "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac; #2 is "Bridge over Troubled Waters" by Simon and Garfunkel.
I played this song for hours, over and over, to finally learn the words he was singing and was finally able to sing alone with him. I still to this day struggle with the second verse of the song.
Mid to late 90s you basically herd these guys on the radio or CD many times a week here in Australia. The guitarist 🎸 went to my high school. There a good band and good humans
TOO THE MOON AND BACK, from this same album, along with this one are my favorite! I knew I loved you from their sophomore album is my fav on that one. I was obsessed with them in Jr high. Wow... the memories from this one !
Oh, I love Savage Garden. "TRLruly, Maddly, Deeply" was used for my wedding song as I walked down the isle. Many other great hits though! They were also awesome live!!!
I was 10 years old when this was playing on the mainstream radio, this was my favorite song from them, the flow into the chorus and the smooth vocals on the chorus were dope AF. The mid 90s was a whole different vibe. First time I remember hearing this song in 1997.
This was one of the first songs I ever heard when I came to America back in 1996. I rediscovered their music back in high school and it took me BACK. LOVE this channel, and love your reactions!! "Truly Madly Deeply" is their other biggest hit too!
I fell in love with this song first time I heard it back in the day. Also, I get some pretty heavy vibes of Terry Gilliam's "Brazil" from the retro-futurist design of the video, and the girl in the vid is almost a dead ringer for the love-interest/object-of-obsession from that movie.
Soooo many great Savage Garden songs. "To The Moon & Back", "Affirmation", "Crash & Burn", "Santa Monica" & my favourite "Two Beds & A Coffee Machine". There are more but that's a good start.
The 90s vibes are ~immaculate~. This song was my jam in high school. But Jay is also right, you can really hear the influence of some 80s bands that you've covered on the channel before. Listen to this and think of another great Aussie band that you love- INXS.
I aggree that truly madly deeply is much better along with my most favourite of their songs I KNEW I LOVED YOU BEFORE I MET YOU. and im gonna go to say he has the best voice ever.
David Crosby of CROSBY, STILLS, NASH & YOUNG died today. One of their songs I believe you have reacted to is TEACH YOUR CHILDREN WELL. R.I.P. DAVID. The member of this band NEIL YOUNG was with them for a while
Savage Garden was one of my first concerts where it was someone I wanted to see and not a band my older sisters wanted to see. They even did a cover of Can't Help Myself by The Four Tops at the show
Savage Garden's "Crash and Burn" is my all time favorite. It has different meanings for different people. Helped me get through some really tough times in my life. Really worth listening to.
Yes! Much better than the first one today! Lots of Energy! And I really like the 'changes' in Tempo. And as Amber said 'It's Different'. I like it, and do remember hearing it a Lot! Love You Guys!
I remembered hearing this song on Baywatch, which was the most watched show at the time. That was when Savage Garden went global. They had some great songs.
I went to their concert with a friend of mine who was a big fan of theirs. I wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it was. Absolutely one of the best concerts I had been to!
Love your channel and RIP David Crosby tonight. I love the 20 minutes daily to relax listening to this before or after talking to clients 40 hours a week in office or telehealth. Drums for the left of my screen, horns to the right. Dave Matthews Band. Tope 5 for me along with Zep, Floyd, Elton and The Beatles. Trust me. :)
So glad you guys came back to Savage Garden, and this one in particular, as it is my all time favourite by them. "To The Moon And Back", "Break Me Shake Me", "The Animal Song", and "I Knew I Loved You" would definitely be the next ones to check out. Also a non-single song to check out from their self-titled debut album is "Santa Monica".
So glad you finally listened to this one, I gave up requesting it!! Darren Hayes is the lead singer, another Aussie and I've heard others talk about the "flow" of the song. This is also so hard to stay still with, but specifically I knew Jay would love it. Truly Madly, Deeply was lovely, but this song was so popular when it came out as it was so different! I just heard yesterday that Darren Hayes is coming back home to Australia to perform in Brissy. Another song for Amber (by an Aussie) is "Even When I'm Sleeping" by Leonardo's Bride - perhaps a female Friday song?
One of the best concerts I saw in the 90's. Savage Garden was amazing live, just wished they made more albums together. We were very spoiled to have many wonderful artists around at there peak in the 80's-90's, John Farnham, Jimmy Barnes, Johhny Diesel, Ian Moss and many more.
Also known as "The Cherry Cola song." "To The Moon And Back" was another good song of theirs. "I Knew I Loved You (before I met you)" was popular among the online dating crowd in the late 90s.
RIP..David Crosby. Almost cut my hair was one of my favorites. He used to live in my hometown for some time, much against his wishes I might add, but when he would play this..the warden hated it. :)

Any song that can weave a Cherry Cola into its lyrics is bound to be good. Savage Garden was very underrated and their music has stood the rest of time.
way back in the 60s the Kinks had a hit with Lola - originally the lyrics referenced Coca Cola but the BBc would not play it due to advertising restrictions so the Kinks had to re-record it substituting Cherry cola to get around the restriction!!
I was going to the exact same thing, but you beat me to it!
It WAS "Coca Cola" but he had to change the lyric to avoid a lawsuit
They were okay
I think you mean the test* of time lol.
“To the Moon and Back” is my absolute favorite by Savage Garden!! 😉❤
Agreed
Same for me!
Def
Must agree 💯
Completely agree! I still put it on repeat all the time! 😎👍
When this song came on the radio a few years ago, I was taken completely by surprise when my mom began singing it! I never knew this song was her cup of tea until she was jamming along to the tune! Then I discovered that she had the Savage Garden album that has this song on it! SURPRISINGLY AWESOME!
Cute!
Easy to fall in love with their music.
Hayden....a few years ago? It's more than a few years ago!!
@@michaelasay8587 obviously, it was the mother’s radio station you know those terrible oldies but goodies station
@@michaelasay8587 we were listening to a classic rock radio station. i didn't mean when it debuted.... read the comment entirely, bro...
"Affirmation" is one of theirs I think is worth a listen. The lyrics are superbly written and the uptempo rhythm drags you right in.
Was gonna suggest this. It's my favorite out of all their songs.
Can they just do the whole album please and thank you 😅
Great Australian band. This debut album exploded. 10 of the 12 songs made the top 40 in Australia. Mid 90's. They had been writing songs for years, formed and spent months refining the best ones for the album.
Yes please - To the Moon and Back is AMAZING. You'll both LOVE it! One of my favourites!
🥰🥰🥰 "To The Moon And Back", "Break Me, Shake Me", "The Animal Song" and "Crash & Burn" are great too.
'Crash & Burn' for sure!! Another song for emotional people having problems...
Break me shake me kind of sounds like Michael Jackson’ish
YES!! Yes, yes!! I hope that they will react to each of those songs.
Break me, Shake me is AMAZING but would love to add Tears of Pearls. You can really feel the emotion in that one.
25 years later and I still know every word. Savage Garden was huge in the late 90s and for a great reason! "I Knew I Loved You" was the biggest hit from their second album, but "Crash and Burn" will always be my favorite song by them!
I never get sick of Crash and Burn!
Jay & Amber, you'll love their "To the Moon and Back" and "I Knew I Loved You"!!
edit- Forrest - “I just felt like running” lol
Also Forrest....me and Jenny were like peas and carrots 😁
Oh my gosh I LOVE "To the Moon and Back"!!! Thank you for mentioning it!!!
It Was my favorite song from them and next was the one they watched today!
I forgot about "I Knew I Loved You". That was a wonderful song.
@@back2black717 you're welcome!!

Always enjoyed Crash and Burn
I love love love the Animal Song Jay and Amber need to react to it
I loved the 2nd album, some brilliant songs
I love The Church! There were a couple songs from that album that were wicked good.
I concur and agree with those suggestions - both Hoodoo Gurus and The Church - not just as an ex-pat Aussie but as a music lover!
Finally!! When this song came out, it was the one that got me listening to the radio again. My sister and oldest daughter told me I had to hear it and I was instantly hooked! Darren Hayes, the ;lead singer, was previously an English teacher. Jay, you might also like "Break Me, Shake Me".

🙏Indeed😥 ⛵The Artist will be missed, but thankfully, we will have his Music in our Hearts and on the Various platforms we enjoy
“To the Moon and Back” is my favorite of theirs. You should check out LIFEHOUSE “Hanging by a Moment” Third Eye Blind “How’s It Gonna Be” or Edwain McCain “I’ll Be”
To The Moon and Back is so damn good.
EDWIN McCAIN - I'LL BE❣️❣️❣️ I think they'd really enjoy it! I ❤️ IT!!! 👍😃❣️😃👍
I remember this one from my childhood and I always called it the cherry Cola song 🍒😁
Yes! 😂 Always called the cherry cola song.
Its the whole wedding package. Truly madly deeply for the wedding dance and then I want you for the after party!
TMD was my wedding song 15 years ago.
Savage Garden is in my all time top 5! Other great songs include: Crash and Burn, To The Moon and Back, I Knew I Loved You, Hold Me, Break Me Shake Me...
The animal song is awesome as well
This is my favorite Savage Garden song.
This song reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 on 3/1/97.
1st Verse:
Anytime I need
To see your face
I just close my eyes
And I'm taken
To a place
Where your crystal mind
And magenta feelings
Take up shelter
In the base of my spine
Sweet like a chick-a-cherry cola
2nd Verse:
I don't need to
Try and explain
I just hold on tight
And if it happens again
I might move so slightly
To the arms and
the lips and the face
Of the human cannonball
That I need to
I want to
CHORUS
3rd verse:
I'm the kind of person
Who endorses a deep commitment
Getting comfy
Getting perfect
Is what I live for
But a look
And then a smell of perfume
It's like I'm down on the floor
And I don't know what I'm in for
4th verse:
Conversation has a time
And place in the interactions
Of a lover and a mate
But the time of talking
Using symbols
Using words
Can be likened
To a deep-sea diver
Who is swimming with raincoat.
Come stand a little bit closer
Breathe in and get a bit higher
You'll never know
What hit you
When I get to you.

YES! One of the most meaningful songs ever written. You guys would love the message of this one.
An amazing song with a positive message and I love the way that every line in the song starts with the same two words
“ I believe” Genius! You can would definitely love it because I believe ( no pun intended😂) you would agree with what the song is about. Please try;
To the moon and back
I knew I loved you
Crash and Burn
To name but, a few.
Thanks for another great reaction💜🌈🙏🏻
This song's always reminded me of the Roxette songs in which Per Gessle sang lead.
I played this album so much in my preteen years CD scratched up lol To the moon and back is another great song of this album. Their a late 90s Australian duo. Around the bubble gum pop phase 1995-2000.
Love Savage Garden. First time I heard this song my niece was singing along and I couldn’t believe she could sing the words that fast!!
Hayes publicly came out as gay in the early 2000s but was married to a woman and struggling with his sexuality when he was writing the duo's debut album.

Wow! One of my all time favorite songs and bands! I think this song is so sexy!
And RIP the legendary David Crosby.
You guys will love "To The Moon and Back" by them! Amazing song and a perfect blend of your tastes!
YES!!!!! I LOVE SAVAGE GARDEN!!!!!!
P.S. but heartfelt, rest in peace David Crosby.
Break Me Shake Me is a total banger!
I agree I love that song
good times.. ^_^ 24-25 yrs old.. young, free, beautiful.. felt invincible.. even as i stumbled daily, didn't feel beautiful, but i did feel free... they're part of that soundtrack of my life..
Excellent l heard this song in the car on the way up to the country and thought that l would suggest it for a reaction video. And voila there you are on my screen
This was an awesome skating song for anyone who remembers the roller rinks.
These guys are SOO under rated. I absolutely love listening to them !!!!!!
Their sophomore album is even better I think.
Oooh this song was EVERYWHERE back in the day. Such a jam. My personal favorite of their's is "Violet" another upbeat tune.
They are just so amazing!!! I'm 51 and I remember when they came out with their debut album & their sound is so unique,amazing & awesome!!!
The chorus gives me chills. Love this song
Savage Garden were local homegrown boys from here in Queensland Australia. Great duo. For a different type of song from them, check out "Two Beds and A Coffee Machine". It's bloody moving and a stain on our society that it's still so relevant. Another story-telling gem is "I Don't Know You Anymore"
Seconding both those. Forgot about I Don't Know You Anymore.
Agree that song hits the heart every time.
This song takes me back to the spring of 1997, my senior year of High School! This song was everywhere. Amazing memories.
Just a word in your ears. David Crosby has died at 81.
Hey, thnx 4 the update. To bad. A shame, but he's pretty lucky to get this far.
He formed The Byrds and Crosby, Stills and Nash. He wrote huge hits for many artists including Bob Dylan and Judy Collins.
Ok. A lotta people been wonderin a long time bout them. Is there any "real" music there? I may be in Wichita, but my roots go to Oklahoma, and you damn Okies make me wonder sumtimes. 😒
They must do David's solo hit, "Hero".
Just heard! So sad.
Savage Garden exploded in the 90's. They had signed a deal to perform at our local show in Queensland Australia, just before they hit the big time. They were just a couple of blokes in a band from Brisbane.They honoured the deal and came and performed for a low fee. So we saw them perform their hits at the show for the price of entry.

This is a great song but "Truly, Madly, Deeply" is a total classic. One of my Top 5 of all time actually. #1 is "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac; #2 is "Bridge over Troubled Waters" by Simon and Garfunkel.
I played this song for hours, over and over, to finally learn the words he was singing and was finally able to sing alone with him. I still to this day struggle with the second verse of the song.
Mid to late 90s you basically herd these guys on the radio or CD many times a week here in Australia. The guitarist 🎸 went to my high school. There a good band and good humans
I had been waiting for this one!
Truly, Madly, Deeply is my favorite song by them.
Ohhhhhhhhh it has been forever since I have heard this one! Thank you for reintroducing it to me.
"Swimming with a rain coat." Cool line. I remember when this song was released. That line has stuck in my head ever since.
I once saw Darren live; he’s just an insanely good singer and a very nice guy.
TOO THE MOON AND BACK, from this same album, along with this one are my favorite!
I knew I loved you from their sophomore album is my fav on that one. I was obsessed with them in Jr high. Wow... the memories from this one !
Oh, I love Savage Garden. "TRLruly, Maddly, Deeply" was used for my wedding song as I walked down the isle. Many other great hits though! They were also awesome live!!!
I remember seeing them in concert and they were absolutely fantastic. “Santa Monica” is my favorite of their songs.
Shades of my teenage years. I did so love their self-titled debut album and affirmation. 🥰
Can’t beat the 90s! Can I suggest one song which is kinda forgotten these days but is so unusual, “Stay” by Shakespears Sister.
I was 10 years old when this was playing on the mainstream radio, this was my favorite song from them, the flow into the chorus and the smooth vocals on the chorus were dope AF. The mid 90s was a whole different vibe. First time I remember hearing this song in 1997.
Savage Garden was my favorite group in middle school, and this was my favorite song.
This was one of the first songs I ever heard when I came to America back in 1996. I rediscovered their music back in high school and it took me BACK. LOVE this channel, and love your reactions!! "Truly Madly Deeply" is their other biggest hit too!
I fell in love with this song first time I heard it back in the day. Also, I get some pretty heavy vibes of Terry Gilliam's "Brazil" from the retro-futurist design of the video, and the girl in the vid is almost a dead ringer for the love-interest/object-of-obsession from that movie.
Truly madly deeply
And they do some really soulful stuff too. When I find it or remember to find it I will request those songs!!!!
I loved them as a kid in the 90s... to the moon and back is another great one to check out...
Soooo many great Savage Garden songs. "To The Moon & Back", "Affirmation", "Crash & Burn", "Santa Monica" & my favourite "Two Beds & A Coffee Machine". There are more but that's a good start.
The 90s vibes are ~immaculate~. This song was my jam in high school. But Jay is also right, you can really hear the influence of some 80s bands that you've covered on the channel before. Listen to this and think of another great Aussie band that you love- INXS.
Love love love Savage Garden. So so many hits. Affirmation is brilliant too.
I have not heard this song in years. I forgot how much I enjoy it. Thanks for reminding me.
“To the moon & back”, “the animal song” are excellent choices too. “I want you” is definitely my favourite though!
I love Jay’s reaction when the singer starts singing! I think both songs of theirs you reacted to are great just in different ways!
I aggree that truly madly deeply is much better along with my most favourite of their songs I KNEW I LOVED YOU BEFORE I MET YOU. and im gonna go to say he has the best voice ever.
To the Moon and Back is my absolute favourite and a must hear!
Understated band! Love them. Song will get stuck in your head.
Their entire debut album is filled with AMAZING songs! You should check out a few more, they were great!
Awesome song. Thanks for reminding me of how good music was even in other decades.
One of the greats of the era. I never realize this song until the chorus iconic
Can't say I was ever a fan of them... but I've loved this song since it came out. A near-perfect pop song.
David Crosby of CROSBY, STILLS, NASH & YOUNG died today. One of their songs I believe you have reacted to is TEACH YOUR CHILDREN WELL. R.I.P. DAVID. The member of this band NEIL YOUNG was with them for a while
The lover after me, crash and burn, two beds and a coffee machine are amazing song songs!!
To The Moon and Back, Affirmation, Hold Me, and Crash & Burn! You guys, they are the Best Thing out of my home city of Brisbane, Australia! 🇦🇺
Their first album was my most listened too in the late 90's. Me and my girl back then played the crap out of it.
Savage Garden was one of my first concerts where it was someone I wanted to see and not a band my older sisters wanted to see. They even did a cover of Can't Help Myself by The Four Tops at the show
Savage Garden's "Crash and Burn" is my all time favorite. It has different meanings for different people. Helped me get through some really tough times in my life. Really worth listening to.
It is one of the best pop songs ever written, also with one of the best music videos ever shot.
Tim McGraw - “Don’t take the girl“ is a must listen.
Yes! Much better than the first one today! Lots of Energy! And I really like the 'changes' in Tempo. And as Amber said 'It's Different'. I like it, and do remember hearing it a Lot! Love You Guys!
I remembered hearing this song on Baywatch, which was the most watched show at the time. That was when Savage Garden went global. They had some great songs.
I went to their concert with a friend of mine who was a big fan of theirs. I wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it was. Absolutely one of the best concerts I had been to!
Great 90's jam.
Love your channel and RIP David Crosby tonight. I love the 20 minutes daily to relax listening to this before or after talking to clients 40 hours a week in office or telehealth. Drums for the left of my screen, horns to the right. Dave Matthews Band. Tope 5 for me along with Zep, Floyd, Elton and The Beatles. Trust me. :)
Savage Garden were such a gem, nostalgia
Hahaha Jay's eyes when the lyrics began 😮🤯 😅😅😅 I've always liked this song but always assumed it was Roxette.
It was huge bragging rights once you were able to sing the whole song without mistake. I still have the cd somewhere.
Same :)
So glad you guys came back to Savage Garden, and this one in particular, as it is my all time favourite by them. "To The Moon And Back", "Break Me Shake Me", "The Animal Song", and "I Knew I Loved You" would definitely be the next ones to check out. Also a non-single song to check out from their self-titled debut album is "Santa Monica".
So glad you finally listened to this one, I gave up requesting it!! Darren Hayes is the lead singer, another Aussie and I've heard others talk about the "flow" of the song. This is also so hard to stay still with, but specifically I knew Jay would love it. Truly Madly, Deeply was lovely, but this song was so popular when it came out as it was so different! I just heard yesterday that Darren Hayes is coming back home to Australia to perform in Brissy.
Another song for Amber (by an Aussie) is "Even When I'm Sleeping" by Leonardo's Bride - perhaps a female Friday song?
Truly madly deeply is my preferred song too Amber.
Amber...run to this! Smiling!
This is my favorite Savage Garden song, and my sister grew up listening to them. She loves them. 🥰🧡
One of the best concerts I saw in the 90's. Savage Garden was amazing live, just wished they made more albums together. We were very spoiled to have many wonderful artists around at there peak in the 80's-90's, John Farnham, Jimmy Barnes, Johhny Diesel, Ian Moss and many more.
Also known as "The Cherry Cola song." "To The Moon And Back" was another good song of theirs. "I Knew I Loved You (before I met you)" was popular among the online dating crowd in the late 90s.
RIP..David Crosby. Almost cut my hair was one of my favorites. He used to live in my hometown for some time, much against his wishes I might add, but when he would play this..the warden hated it. :)
most of their songs and lyrics are top notch and has a story, love and something to think about life
A couple more Savage garden songs. That are really good, one is called ( the animal song) then the song ( crash and burn)
