Man this still hits hard I was the kid in this scenario but both of them were exactly the same so didn't even have a sane adult figure during childhood. left home at 13 to go live on the streets 37 now it's been a long one haha if you're listening to this you're a survivor keep on keeping on you beautiful thing.
@@WhatwouldRoddyPiperdo you're a good person. Despite what you've been through this just shines through. I'm so sorry you experienced all that. I was fortunate my mum was protective and supportive of us children whilst she went through all that she did. Hope life is treating you kinder these days...
@@STARLIGHTRAYS but you are a survivor and that takes strength that sometimes you don't see that you have. I hope you're OK today. Talking helps and people care. Most listening to this particular song will understand too. Please reach out to any one of us. Never truly alone xx
Every time I hear this song by Darren Hayes it always makes me cry because it reminds me of my dad hitting my mum and couldn’t do anything thing to have stoped him I was only a stupid school kid but it didn’t stop me going out on a Friday and a Saturday night looking for her when she never came back in with him and when I found her she would be covered in blood after he hit her. Sadly my mum died a few years ago I still miss her so much I still can’t forgive myself for letting her down.I still love you mum even though she’s not here.
You never let her down, and she wouldn’t ever have thought you did. She would never have wanted you to end up hurt instead. A mother’s love is so intense. I know you wrote your comment two years ago so you may not read it, but your comment is so touching and sad and I had to reply. I have young kids and I know 100% that she wouldn’t have wanted you to put yourself in the way when he was hitting her. But she would always remember how you came looking for her and probably cry about how much you had to see as a child. Please don’t ever think you let her down. You were probably the only bright thing in her life and her rock and would’ve meant more to her than you can understand. ♥️
You made me Burst into tears with your story..and i can relate to it...my father had Anger issues in his whole life...he had his Anger channelled towards me,my sister and mostly to my mother..and she had struggled from depression most of her life..also.had anxiety and insomnia issues.. and .but i loved hım anyway despite his condition...he passed away two and half years ago.and my mother also passed away four and half months ago.,i miss them every single day..😓😓
14 years old now. Wonder how on earth I survived through all what happened to me and my brother. Still wonder how I will make it to an adult sometimes. But the mind is an amazing thing, so I'm gonna use it wisely, coz I have to follow this hope. Stay strong, to all you children, teens and adults. You're gonna make it, no matter what. Use your amazing minds and hearts.
Carmen Browne trust me darling you will make it and live a long and happy life. I'm a grown up and a survivor and I can relate to this song like obviously you can. My advise is trust your true self and how far you have come and tell yourself that you deserve happiness just like anyone else but even more. Love yourself and stay strong and true to you, and live your dreams :)
I remember singing this song in my tenth grade year for our talent show. My mom was in tears because without me saying it, she knew I was singing it for her.
That's beautiful-I would've cried too💖My family went through an ugly divorce 20 years ago (wow thats crazy)and my mum played this ALL the time while my sister and I sat in the back seat of the car...I get it now. Thanks for your heart warming comment🥰
First time I've actually heard this song, so powerful and makes me appreciate what I been through and what I've been able to achieve over the past few years.
Please tell me that includes Darren's "The Siren's Call" - literally THE MOST astounding piece of art I could ever believe could exist! The light at the end of every tunnel.
I love this song.... It explains how hard life can be.... How cruel people can be.... This is my families story and many others families too.... Just stay strong and don't let the past keep u down!
Possibly the best collaboration between Jones and Hayes. Lyrics on point which Hayes didn't always achieve and instrumentals perfect as always. Underrated Savage Garden song
Ok guys. This used to be(still is by nightmares) my song First marriage was abuse and lasted 7 years Second one was like living in hell. I endured every single kind of abuse.At first it wasn't that bad. But slowly got worse. That is what happens, then the doubt comes in. After being told over and over year after year,no one loves or likes you. I finally got out, but to the price of me and my children. But they are the ones that got me out. I thank them and at the same time tell them how sorry I am for the years of abuse we all went through.I was married to the second for at least 10 years. I don't even try to remember anything about him or any dates. Some I can't get rid of though. All I can say, is reach out! SO much more help now. Please leave before it is too late!!! So thank you Savage Garden, you put this issue out there.
This song is still amazing, even in 2020 while everyone is panicking and staying indoors because of a virus that could kill us. Just listening to this helps me remember that it won't last forever. Things will get better.
I wish people out there could understand how much it hurts to have to realize you can only run so far before you relaize you have to go back to the people and things that drive you away to begin with.
Mathew Smith I absolutely agree with u, been at every stage in this song and have every single empathy for ANYONE man woman or child to have to live,recover or continue to suffer such hell. I like u got the best DAD in the world n boy it sure made all the difference in my life. Made me see no human should treat another any less than we expect for ourselves xx
The most beautiful song I have ever heard, also the story of my life from 1977 to 1989, still wonder how I ever made it through. Some scars don't heal though, they re there for life xx my life f
I lived this nightmare, but I didn't go back, leaving my step children still breaks my heart 4 years later..my happy ending is I'm re married and happier than ever, there is hope, leave before he kills you one day, they will not stop..they will do it again and again each time just as frightening as the last
Shame on you for leaving the kids behind. At least you should hve called social services to save them. You say he may have killed you one day, well he could have killed one of them since you ran away. Very selfish!!!!!
Nancy Krause don't assume she didn't call the police, violence against women is still very real even now in 2017, I just hope that her step children are fine and grow up to be good people unlike there father, my mom was in the same boat, my brother and I grow up with the best step father ever, so just think about this my father always says "don't assume it makes an ass out of you and me"
@@LucyLoversmia. Shame on her for leaving kids that aren't hers, where you in your right mind while typing that? She has no legal right to the kids, taking them with her would result in kidnap charges, her hands are tied. Why assume she didn't call cps? Besides that, what the heck do you expect her to do, stay and take some more beatings? Stay and be killed? That would have helped the children how? You seriously mean that if she stayed and he killed her, he definitely would not kill any of the kids. Yeah, that's logical... It's crappy responses like yours that further shames people (more often women) to stay in abusive situations. Your statements are ridiculous and YOU should be ashamed for not only writing such short-sighted garbage but aiming it directly towards someone who may already suffer from underserved guilt from doing the right thing. The shame is his, for beating her, she has done nothing wrong.
I used to live in an abusive household. Two, in fact, one for ten years and another for a little over a year. I can't tell you how. Just awful it is to know you can't leave. I'm doing better, but this song still brings me back to those days. I used to listen to it when I needed to cry.
When I feel low this is one of the songs I turn to in order to get a lil help.. To the previous comments about abuse, Yes this song is about spousal abuse, or personal abuse of others period but the whole drive of this song I feel is ..... When you hit those hard places & problems in life, ya know a ditch or stops sign ya don't give up & no matter the choice or situation make a decision & keep moving on....... Thanks for the song, it's literally helped me & mine keep moving on...
The kind of spouse this song is about is a type of person with so much evil in them that they no longer have the ability to tell right from wrong or abusive sex from love. This type of person usually has a “dead emptiness” in their eyes that indicate a total and often irreversible absence of human emotional capacity in the heart or mind of whatever is left of their heartless soul.
Reminds me of my child hood my mum will always be my warrior how she survived and still lives today is beyond words I love you mum thank you for saving us ❤️
This is about a woman who’s trapped in an abusive relationship. To protect herself and her children, she often runs away and spends the night at cheap hotels, with two beds and a coffee machine. Hence the title. She knows that she can’t survive on her own, and eventually she will have to go back home. Savage Garden singer Darren Hayes tapped into his own childhood experiences of domestic violence to pen “Two Beds and a Coffee Machine” (1999) for the Australian duo’s second studio album “Affirmation” (1999). He said that the song is “about an alcoholic, wife-beating dad and how me and my mum travelled from motel to motel with me with a black eye.” Hayes recalled : “This was coming out in a period when Spice Girls, NSync and MTV’s TRL were huge. I’m proud that in the midst of it all - manufactured and often contrived pop music - we were allowed to write songs like that which were wise beyond our years.” Being wise is great. Being wise beyond one’s years IS NOT when it stems from brutality ‼️ Let’s agree, fellow UA-camrs : THERE SHOULD BE ZERO TOLERANCE TOWARDS VIOLENCE❕ AND ZERO TOLERANCE = 100 % INTOLERANCE❕💙⛔️💚
I listened to this when I was younger, i never imagined that the lyrics could hit so close to home when im now older. The part where he says "Picks up all the broken glass, and furniture on the floor, been up half the night screaming" "another bruise to try and hide, another alibi to write" ...
Please please get help! Don't know what you are going through but based on your comment I can guess. I really hope you are able to get out of whatever situation you are in and please take care! Praying for you. If you need anything don't hesitate to reach out. I don't know if I could help but I'd sure try! ♥️🙏
@@leaanna9094 words escape me, to be honest! I am so upset to hear this is your situation, for you and your kids. I desperately wish there was something I could do. I won't assume to understand the situation or give false hope that you could easily get out of it. It sounds complicated. But I do know that if you have been in this situation for that long, then you must be very strong indeed. I cannot even fathom how you have managed for as long as you have. But know this, you are braver and stronger then you think. And while I do not know you, my offer still stands. I am here if you need it. I'm not sure how I could help at all but I offer it regardless. I will be keeping you and your kids in my thoughts and prayers.
This song breaks my heart, the never ending tears and many years later the wound is still fresh. I am so sorry your mom, you and siblings had to be forever traumatized. Take good care of your precious mom, she is the rock of your 👪 family. Take care and may you continue to be blessed.
Thank you for sending me this beautiful and very real song. This was what my childhood was like. A very great song. :) These songs bring up memories & feeling, but it is good. The writer of this song is a great song writer.
mum... dad.. past ... me& my brother.. thankyouu james for being there as my big borother.. i know we went through alot as children & your my best friend not judt my brother.. thanyouu for getting me thrub thingss xxx
Been one of my all time favourites for so many years, way to many years 😢. Such a sad song but what always bothered me is , Another ditch in the road ""you"" keep moving, aother stop sign ""you"" keep moving on, and the years go by so fast wonder how ""i"" ever made it through... I always thought you would have made more sense there than i
how did you make it through it girls??????? all of you how did you make it through it and still come out as loving as you are...as beautiful and perfect and just gorgeous girls..........i am sorry i was the reason he put us all through it...........however life is better for you all now.......i love you all to bits.........stay blessed
I left after 3 years of marriage and couseling. It made no difference. My kids are both grown now and he is in their life by their own choice. I am expected to go to holidays with him. I wonder if they realize how frightened I am still of this man they call dad. My youngest doesn't remember it all but I know my oldest does because she was hit and thrown through more than one doorway, ending up bloody and then I just said enough! I am a minister now and I cannot get close to anyone. I cannot trust a man to love me and not beat me. I've had counseling, it just makes no difference. No one knows how bad it is until they live it. Judging is easy. Try living it.God bless anyone who has been through this. I know that it happens to men too. Not just women. Do not love so deeply that you allow this in your life. It is not necessary. Being a single parent is hard but a lot easier than living with this.
It WILL continue to hurt, sweetheart. The pivotal point is what you do with that pain. I became an advocate and I use my pain to help other women. I strive every day to put an end to this treatment of women, I use the fire lit by the abuse, the anger in my heart to fight for women. You can let it make you a victim or you can stand and be a survivor. What you do with this experience makes every difference in the world. I've got your back!
You royal hypocritical bitch!!!!!! You have the gall to spew your bullshit "Me Too" story after you shamed another woman who was in an abusive relationship????? You claim "Don't judge" yet here you are judging Sarah Quinn for leaving her step kids, yet here you are Judging away on her. "try living it".. WHY would you want ANYONE to live something like that?!?!?!?! Before you open your big mouth to "judge me" i lived it both in my child hood AND adulthood.
This song is my life. Instead of the hotel it was grandmas house, and my mom didn't leave. She couldn't. My sister and I had to leave to wake my mom up and realize my dad needed to go. Luckily now my life is so much better and he is not in my life to ruin it.
You will find someone to trust, you'll find that one person, even if it is just that one. Help them to help you move on from things. If you want to go it alone, I wish you all the best of luck, if it makes you feel safer and secure. Stay strong. It will get better.
@@nirvanaofmonkasar1107 I think the idea is to show the reach of this song, regardless of country or religion.....but I agree...the 'im so different from the intended audience' comment is pretty cringey sometimes.
I was in elementary school when I first heard this song and was attracted by the melody but don’t understand the lyrics of this song. Now I find out it’s talking about Anti domestic violence. I’m completely loving this song ! Great song great story!
Abuse of all stages hurt i know this to well i finally said enough lucky i didnt have kids at time ..hardest part taking first step and leaving it does slowly get better
One of the most beautiful songs. Still remember the lyrics 24 years after I first heard this song

Still listening and loving this song in 2021. Lyrically classic and still a favourite of mine so many years later
😊me too 🙌🏻
Darren Hayes can't imagine how many times he saved me from depression :)!
Every time I hear this song by Darren Hayes it always makes me cry because it reminds me of my dad hitting my mum and couldn’t do anything thing to have stoped him I was only a stupid school kid but it didn’t stop me going out on a Friday and a Saturday night looking for her when she never came back in with him and when I found her she would be covered in blood after he hit her.

You know what this song is about right?!!!
Domestic abuse is not beautiful!
But Yes it's a very well sang song and a very good song it is!
Please tell me that includes Darren's "The Siren's Call" - literally THE MOST astounding piece of art I could ever believe could exist! The light at the end of every tunnel.
I love this song.... It explains how hard life can be.... How cruel people can be.... This is my families story and many others families too.... Just stay strong and don't let the past keep u down!
Such a beautiful yet tragic song. Can't believe I hadn't heard this before.
Me either. I just heard the song today by accident. Powerful.
Real hidden gem for some reason
Unbelievably beautiful song ❤So tender and soft, so gentle, I love it.

A beautiful song. It was the anthem to my life - until I changed it...... it gave me strength. Thank you for posting. x
Whoever wrote this song, thank you. Thank you for saying all of the things we can't and for talking about hope

Am glad he sang this song for all those mothers who suffer this. This is situation for many ladies even today and this moment !! :-(
Truly one of the most beautiful love songs ever written

Brings back memories of my college days at Shillong... heartbreaking and nostalgic song!!
this song breaks my heart its so sad. its about a lady that is abused by her husband and keeps going away but having to come back to him
That's kinda obvious.

A time i had listened to this over and over to find strength and answers in songs.
This song reminds me of all bad things..
Pack up my dogs 😢
This song breaks my heart, the never ending tears and many years later the wound is still fresh. I am so sorry your mom, you and siblings had to be forever traumatized. Take good care of your precious mom, she is the rock of your 👪 family. Take care and may you continue to be blessed.
This is an absolutely amazing song;-)
Thank you for sending me this beautiful and very real song. This was what my childhood was like. A very great song. :) These songs bring up memories & feeling, but it is good. The writer of this song is a great song writer.
Actually the song sums up my childhood the rawness behind it but coming out on the other side we made it through x
mum... dad.. past ... me& my brother.. thankyouu james for being there as my big borother.. i know we went through alot as children & your my best friend not judt my brother.. thanyouu for getting me thrub thingss xxx
Been one of my all time favourites for so many years, way to many years 😢. Such a sad song but what always bothered me is , Another ditch in the road ""you"" keep moving, aother stop sign ""you"" keep moving on, and the years go by so fast wonder how ""i"" ever made it through... I always thought you would have made more sense there than i
Beautiful....keep moving on................
GREAT song and singer, no more to say
It really gets you. It's so beautiful and sad. It's so hypnotic xx
Darren Hayes wrote this song,it is his own story about his childhood,he cried after he finished singing it in the studio.
oh no...damnit here comes the waterworks...
Never realised how relevant this would be as an adult when listening to this in my youth
Moving song -one of my favorites. It isn’t my story but it is for so many including some of my loved ones.
how did you make it through it girls??????? all of you how did you make it through it and still come out as loving as you are...as beautiful and perfect and just gorgeous girls..........i am sorry i was the reason he put us all through it...........however life is better for you all now.......i love you all to bits.........stay blessed
Keep moving, you've got this! 💞
Still remember when this album was released
Going through this right now. It's heartbreaking, but you have to keep moving.
Timeless and beautiful
I left after 3 years of marriage and couseling. It made no difference. My kids are both grown now and he is in their life by their own choice. I am expected to go to holidays with him. I wonder if they realize how frightened I am still of this man they call dad. My youngest doesn't remember it all but I know my oldest does because she was hit and thrown through more than one doorway, ending up bloody and then I just said enough! I am a minister now and I cannot get close to anyone. I cannot trust a man to love me and not beat me. I've had counseling, it just makes no difference. No one knows how bad it is until they live it. Judging is easy. Try living it.God bless anyone who has been through this. I know that it happens to men too. Not just women. Do not love so deeply that you allow this in your life. It is not necessary. Being a single parent is hard but a lot easier than living with this.
It WILL continue to hurt, sweetheart. The pivotal point is what you do with that pain. I became an advocate and I use my pain to help other women. I strive every day to put an end to this treatment of women, I use the fire lit by the abuse, the anger in my heart to fight for women. You can let it make you a victim or you can stand and be a survivor. What you do with this experience makes every difference in the world. I've got your back!
Nancy Krause Wow I am sadden by your story but please do not give up on love. ❤️🙏 best wishes to you and your children Nancy ..
You royal hypocritical bitch!!!!!! You have the gall to spew your bullshit "Me Too" story after you shamed another woman who was in an abusive relationship????? You claim "Don't judge" yet here you are judging Sarah Quinn
for leaving her step kids, yet here you are Judging away on her. "try living it".. WHY would you want ANYONE to live something like that?!?!?!?! Before you open your big mouth to "judge me" i lived it both in my child hood AND adulthood.
Jag har eran original cd innan den gavs ut
Fick den på grund av denna låten som mitt å barnens liv såg ut just då 🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻
wonderful. thanks for post this video. it is my childhood too. thanks a lot
this song always make me crying
Such an amazing song :') x
This song is my life. Instead of the hotel it was grandmas house, and my mom didn't leave. She couldn't. My sister and I had to leave to wake my mom up and realize my dad needed to go. Luckily now my life is so much better and he is not in my life to ruin it.
Laura Peck exactly the same the best thing that happen to us tho was the day we buried him
my 2 kids love this 111 they r now 21 and 19 but have loved it since very young,
damn all their songs make me cry....sigh..life gets crazy.
Sang this for my final performance 🎭 at college. Great days x such a sad song 🎵
I like the snow for a reason 😌✨ I'm from up there.
I’m so love this song ❤
Hearing this in oct 2021💗
Beautiful and sad song!
You will find someone to trust, you'll find that one person, even if it is just that one. Help them to help you move on from things.
If you want to go it alone, I wish you all the best of luck, if it makes you feel safer and secure. Stay strong. It will get better.
Going by your other comment.. you're 20 yrs old now! Did you manage to keep moving? I hope you're happy & well! 💞
I like this song too! I'm from Central Asia, Kyrgyzstan. I'm a Muslim.
Allah bless you and have an amazing day!! 💞💞
So? What does being muslim has to do with this song.
@@nirvanaofmonkasar1107 I think the idea is to show the reach of this song, regardless of country or religion.....but I agree...the 'im so different from the intended audience' comment is pretty cringey sometimes.
This reminds me of when me And my sisters had too do this last year when I was 10
This song relaxes me. Let's me know I'm not the only one.
I've lived this.
i hope your'e ok now❤
So have I
i love this song so much
I was in elementary school when I first heard this song and was attracted by the melody but don’t understand the lyrics of this song. Now I find out it’s talking about Anti domestic violence. I’m completely loving this song ! Great song great story!

To be able to make such a beautiful song about this subject xx
