Lyrics:
Robin had it
My Mother has it
My Grandma had it
I guess I got it too
And once you’ve got it
It drains emotions
It sinks your feelings and all the life rafts too
Ooh I got to have you
But I don’t wanna pass on to you my poison blood
Poison Blood
Ooh I got to have you
But poison blood poisons all the love
Ooh I won’t let it get you, no
Lincoln had it
My Brother has it
My Nephew had it
I guess I got it too
And once you’ve got it
It fills an ocean with fear and loathing and devastation too
Ooh I got to have you
But I don’t wanna pass on to you my poison blood
Poison blood
Oooh I got to have you but poison blood poisons all the love
Ooh I won’t let it get you, boy
And it’s not that I don’t wanna live
It’s the pain that I wish I could kill
All the times that I wanted to die
I made a choice I was gonna survive
It’s a blessing a gift and a curse
Every day’s a decision to stay with my poison blood
Poison blood
Ooh I got to have you
But poison blood poisons all the love
Ooh I won’t let it get you, no
Omg his angelic voice hasnt changed since the 90s .. stunning!
He’s 50 and still got it! His voice is a perfect as it was in the 90’s, can’t wait for his tour next year!
А помолодел как внешне! На 20 лет моложе выглядит тут
Darren is one of the most beautiful people on earth. Darren, if you ever feel alone - call me! :)
He deserves way more subscribers and views. Incredible talent.
Dear Darren,
This may not reach you, but I'd like to leave this letter to you here. Thank you Darren, for existing in this world and being open about your mental health and childhood trauma. Last night's concert in Brisbane was my dream came true, ever since I first heard your song two decades ago in Japan. I got so emotional as you shared your personal journey. You have no idea how much your songs had helped me and still helping me to this day, surviving my own childhood trauma, abuse, and depression. I'm an artist myself and I agree with you, it's “a blessing, a gift and a curse all at once". Our art, sensitivity, and deep compassion have power to heal others, but that is like crystals of what our deepest pain had transcended into. It doesn't come easily. I see the glimpse of your deep sensitivity to all of your word choices in the songs, and how pure your soul is, to still see the beauty in the world and people. I don't know you personally, but I wish we were friends and we could have deep conversations about art, creativity, spirituality, culture, and about the world. I appreciate you for all your beautiful work, saving lives through your music and brightening up people's rough days.
Some universe's coincidence, I live in Gold Coast and was able to come and see you last night. I moved to Gold Coast 8 years ago because Japan constantly overworked me and the society made me overthink every single thing I did, and I suffered from severe depression and I couldn't take it anymore. I ran away. And last night at your concert, I felt that I was meant to go through all of that, to be here in Australia so I could see you and hear your beautiful voice, and hear your stories in real life.
I was just a blob in the crowd for you, but you were the light for me. Thank you again for staying alive and choosing to survive. Because of someone like you, it makes it worthwhile staying around in this world. Sending you lots of love.
Sincerely,
One of your many fans.
Wow. I hope he sees this. Stay strong, you're beautiful ❤
this was a beautiful Love letter, ofcourse DH has seen this & probably screen shot & framed it too ❤ Sublime
I loved this and I love you!
I think that this song and video is Darren at his most vulnerable to date. I'm so glad that he responded to you. He's a very deep and reflective person with his songwriting and music.
What a wonderful voice and such a powerful song. The artistic story that goes with the video is equally as powerful. Definitely one of the best vocalists in this day and age
Yessss...!!!!! 😃😍👍👍👍💟💟💟
Have a look at ‘black out the sun’ and ‘blood stained heart’..
They will make your day! 😍😍😍
Agreed! I've loved his music since I was 11 😁 I'm 33 now
@@leeflea2874 Totally! Those are awesome videos/songs as well!
he have angle voice, and i can Micheal Jackson behind him
“I made a choice I was gonna survive.” That, right there, brought me to tears as it is a choice I have made in the past. Thank you for another raw, powerful song, Darren.
Absolutely. Same here. And it is a choice I sometimes still struggle to make. But I do
When I was a child my father shouted at us, threatened violence, and then carried out those threats. I was terrified of him and still have PTSD, causing horrifying hallucinations then and now while I'm awake, Night Terrors while I'm asleep, and relationship issues all the time.
I felt loved by the music of Savage Garden early in life and the validation in Darren's music helped me be brave enough to try to love people and to never be my Dad. Thank you Darren, for still reaching out and loving with your art. I still face passing on my "Poison Blood" and still choose to live with it every day through pain, tears, and terror. Thank you for sharing your pain, your beauty, and your vulnerability.
@Darren.Hayes. Phoenix AZ; a harsh place in many ways. 💜 I hope you can make it here.
@Darren.Hayes. Since 1997 - I was 17; when I got married 5 years later, my new wife told me she was afraid that I was secretly gay and would leave her because I sang your songs passionately and at the top of my lungs. Finally, 14 years later I accepted my mistake, became independent, found someone who truly accepts me, and she loves when I sing your songs - it shows my heart is open to love and I'm not afraid of it. 😊
So from 1997-2002 I devoured all of your music I could, then was a closet fan (singing only in secret), and I've been catching up on you from 2016-2023.
Darren has one of the most haunting and devastatingly beautiful voices I ever heard. I'm glad he is back after so long. He still has those pipes.
Ooooh that falsetto is just divine ❤
Back in the 1970’s my friend who was gay committed suicide. Back then no one talked about it. It was considered taboo. I had no idea he was going through such a bad time. None of his friends did. It took everyone by surprise! I say a prayer for him all the time. He was a beautiful person and I still feel the lost. Listening to this song helped me realize some of things he was going through.
I was completely infatuated with Darren Hayes in the late 90s. He’s so talented.
We hear you, man.
“It’s not that I want to die. I just want to kill the pain”, how true is that. I don’t want there to be no more beautiful sunrises or multi-coloured sunsets, no warm breezes on a summers night or the silence of snow. I just want to be free of this curse, this heavy, heavy darkness that consumes me.
🙏🏼
Would have been nice if he told his first wife that he was gay. Im sure she has depression too. Terrible human behavior
@@krisersn3092 you know not of what you speak
@@krisersn3092 He is still friends with his first wife and he was still discovering himself. People have left me for more shallow reasons than that. Things happen!
Same here.
Beautiful voice, getting better and more powerful every time. I'm crying. I love you Darren.
The most underrated singer ever.
Thanks for your love and support
Such an incredibly powerful song! Waking up and living with my depression is the hardest decision I have to make every day but I, too, made a promise to survive. Keep fighting fellow warriors! ❤❤
Thanks for your love and support
As someone who suffers from depression, I want to thank you for always being so honest in your music. You have helped me in more ways than I could possibly recount.
I also adore the visual homage to Prince's _When Doves Cry_ and the flowers from the _Purple Rain_ album cover. 💜
Yes same with me
Thanks for your love and support
@@darren5758 we love u Darren ❤️
@@marinaofficial1761 where are you actually from?
@@darren5758 I'm from Croatia and I really love your songs and you as a person I feel you so close 💗
“And it’s not that I don’t wanna live. It’s the pain that I wish I could kill.”
Those words are everything. I can’t begin to tell you how hard that hits me. I have leukemia and a rare immune disease, so I literally have Poison Blood. My health problems lead to periods of depression. So this song truly gives a voice to words I can’t bring myself to say out loud. Thank you. 💜
Hang in there. Sending you prayers of healing.
💕🙏
I am destroyed. Another amazing song. I hope Darren realises how much his music means to people and how it effects them. Thank goodness for his choice, every day, to stay
Hello Kim..
Finally you are back .... miss a lot of your songs 🎵. You are the best voice ever born. Keep singing and bring peace of this world 🌎 ✨️. The best from the best 👌
Darrren's voice is so sublime, the lyrics so raw and authentic he takes you on a journey. Such a moving song but it resonates and takes a hold of you. The music is beautiful and haunting. Well done Darren. Can't wait for more.
Hard to believe I have been listening to this wonderful man for over twenty years now. So happy he is still making music.
Flawless vocals
He had a wonderful voice in this music video.
Knowing Darren's story, this song almost brings me to tears. So beautiful and so personal.
After reading your memoir, Darren, I am struck by the parallels between the imagery of you in the bath in this music video and the story of your Aunt Vivienne taking warm baths to counteract the cramps in her legs that were caused by the thickening of her blood due to the "nerve pills" she was prescribed. One of the many parts of your life story that broke my heart.
I’ve grown up with Daren’s music just bloody amazing love this new track I really want Darren to get the recognition back
Man you are amazing. Thanks GOD for being born this century and hear this great voice. Man you are from another world.
love you Darren! 🇦🇷 I'm struggling with anxiety , depression and with chronic hepatitis B... it's hard but I try to be strong enough and thankful each day. Thank you for making music that help us heal, that tell us we are not alone. ❤️
IT'S HELPS US HEAL THAT TELLS US WE'RE NOT ALONE.
What a powerful song. Darren never disappoints with songs that have substance. ❤
Gosh your voice hasn't changed a bit. This sounds amazing. Beautiful song.
Beautiful and Haunting. Darren Hayes is a masterful storyteller and his voice comes so deeply from his soul. Brilliant!
Darren amazing song I suffer from chronic Depression the words of the song really hit me. I have been a fan of yours since i first heard Truly Madly Deeply on the radio when i was 7 my inspiration wanting to be a singer just like you has been the greatest gift i could ever have received. Thank you Mr. Hayes you do amazing work.
Chills!! Wow! LOVED THIS!
Like fine wine 🍷...you Darren keeps getting 🥰
MOST UNDERRATED ARTIST, SONGWRITER AND SINGER!!!
Forever a Fan...
This is honestly one of Darren Hayes' greatest songs. Almost his magnus opus. Pure pain. Elegant tragedy. Everything about this song is divine life.
С возвращением, Даррен! Мы так давно ждали
Absolutely gorgeous. The visuals and emotional tone reminded me of your 'Darkness' music video as well as many 80's popstars. When you hit the high note, tears. Just beautiful. Thank you for sharing your struggle, we all love you dearly for being strong and being yourself.
He looks incredibly gorgeous. ✨
I feel like there is a DH from 1995 till 2005s Truly madly completely savage garden GHits album... 🎉
& then Another Darren Hayes from 2004s Tension & spark until present day....🎉 & im definitely here & all in for the Latta p2 Era ❤
This song means more than anything. Battling mental health is a bitch.
Thank you Darren, for baring your soul so selflessly. It helps others like me to realized the crushing weight of depression is not my only “gift.” And, I’m not alone.
I feel like my ”sensitivity” is such a burden. For OTHERS to carry, and accept. Constantly shifting from purple to black. Just lost my mom a week ago today,
June 19th 2022. I was with her everyday (sometimes 2 to 3 times), and called her every day too, in the last nine months of her dementia. She remembered me two days before she passed, and said “I love you too Ton(e).” And it’s just so hard to break the damn surface anymore. That bitch depression keeps grabbing my foot, and pulling me back down, barely giving me a gulp of air.
Love the homage to Prince’s, When Doves Cry.
Hope you do a cover, or homage to George soon. You would really do him justice. Sorry this is a long ramble. Also, I lost my Dad when TDTWM came out. Still have difficulty listening to Maybe. Even though it’s one of my favorite songs. Just want you to know how you’ve touched me with your music over the last 25 years. Thank you so much.
Take care always. Someone you don’t know, that appreciates you greatly
🙏🏼💕
Sending you love, Tony
I totally understand what you are saying on a deep level. I am so sorry for your loss x my condolences
I have been there. Its been three years since mum suddenly passed. It does get a little easier. X
My goodness, Darren. I'm sitting here misty-eyed. I know this. Words and video pulled at my heartstrings. Sending love from the Netherlands. XX
Я ещё никогда не слышала ничего красивее чем это!!!!
I love the "When Doves Cry" inspiration. Wow- awesome video and song! This song and video is so raw and I feel that you understand my pain and I can certainly feel yours! Thank you for this awesome song and video, and thank you for you Darren!!! Your fans love you- we are ride or die! ❤
This isn't just a song. It moves my DNA and shakes my cells🩸
His words are comforting when we have the lows in our lives thank you Darren.
We come out the other side a bit stronger yet still grow from the pain.
This is so deep. The past and the present tenses. Thank you Darren for this song.
love this sooooooooooooooooooo much ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
A quiet champion of the voiceless, those that feel like they are ignored, not seen, struggling to stay afloat. Your voice, your lyrical magic - its nothing short of life saving. We love you darren.
Poignant, emotive and sung by the finest voice of his generation. Goosebumps!
no matter how many times i review this song video, i cry damn it 😢
powerful
I'm discovering a lot about you, Darren, you know, I've been sick with my mental health since I was 11 years old, and that has left my life shattered, thanks for sharing this with us, take good care of yourself
Once again Darren you amaze me x
I almost always identify with your songs. I always said it's like you have lived inside my head, my heart for years and years and then come out of me and written what you observed.
That's what i once told an old therapist. She had asked me how i cope, I said music and she asked me to bring a CD along, play some songs and then describe how they fit my life. So ttats helped me through therapy.
You're an incredible artist and an incredible person Darren. I am so glad I found you 20 something years ago. Xx
Thank God for being you ❤🫶🙏
I suffer from " poison blood" as well and you stated it perfectly " it's the pain I wish I could kill". It is a curse yet a blessing too in an odd way. Thank you for letting those of us who feel alone know if we all are alone, we're alone in it together ❤
The beginning reminds of "when the Doves cry" video.Magnificent job Darren 💜👏
Darren Hayes has the picture of the rainbow!!!
Fantastica voce ,atat de …curgatoare si calda !!! Atatea nuante muzicale ,mereu inedite!!! Summum!!!👑⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹
@Darren.Hayes. Romania-Italia
Your voice is sublime in this track - poison blood ❤ So beautiful
Adding this beautiful piece to one of my most favorite songs. Those notes hit me real good. I miss your voice so much. Thank you!
Love this song! Been listening to Darren since the 90’s. His voice is a gift from God. Music influences all of us and artist like him influences us more than others. Thank you for this song, I think we all have been there.
@DarrenHayes.. Hi Darren!! Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule and responding!! That means a lot to me. I know you have millions of fans! I live in Moncks corner South Carolina.
This, so far, is my favorite song from Darren’s new solo creations. The lyrics are relatable and, of course, the voice…the man…just beautifull❤
Love you from Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬 💓
My new favorite song. wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brings me to tears every time......for my gf xx
I barely know about your music, I recognize your beautiful talent.
Thank you Darren, for pouring your heart into artistry and sharing it with us. You hold a special place in my heart. ❤
️The feeling is devastating, it is merciless and it's real. A scourge of humanity - Depression.
"And it's not that I don't wanna live
It's the pain that I wish I could kill
All the times that I wanted to die
I made a choice I was gonna survive
It's a blessing a gift and a curse"
It describes how a person faces very hard moments in life in which we feel that we give in and we can't take it anymore and that everything is adverse, but we draw strength, we don't give up and decide to move forward, we are persistent and we strengthen ourselves but at the same time this Persistence becomes a blessing, a gift, and a karma (curse).
That's literally what this snippet says. You are a genius Darren, thank GOD for being born in this century and being able to listen to such a melodious voice and with great meaning that reaches the depths of being.
That voice!❤ Jimi Jamison and Darren Hayes are my two favorite singers i love them!!!!💋🎶🎤💗💞💕🩷
He's Amazing and very talented Guy and He is My favorite Singer
The symbolism and the delicacy used to depict depression in this video are simply perfect. Thank you for your vulner-ability, Darren. You taught me so much throughout the years and you never cease to amaze me.
For our happiness, it is wonderful that you decide to live every day, life is beautiful despite the pain that sometimes presents us. How nice it is to hear you. Live, thank and love, the keys.
Most definitely very personal to me. This one will speak out loud to all of us who keep making the choice of another day. Just one more day, that's how we live. And to those who couldn't fight anymore, we understand & miss you. Thank you again Darren, this means so much to those who don't, who can't speak. I've lived with the blood so long I didn't even have a name for it as a child.
I do now & so do you & we will talk out loud then it won't be so silent anymore. Much love and care 💖❤️💋 from one to another 🖤♥️
Ive suffered from depression most of my life, and have been recently diagnosed with non hogdkins lymphoma... so this song hit twice. Amazing. I love you Darryn Hayes, cant wait to see you in concert next year.. because I will survive.
Даррен как всегда прекрасен! Великолепное звучание и визуализация!
Как из времён начала сольной карьеры))) спасибо за эстетическое наслаждение)))

Darling Darren, this is HUGE. My tears flow with the message received here. I pray that many others receive it & understand it the way I have. No matter what CHOOSE TO STAY!! LIFE is beautiful and made all the more beautiful because YOU are here. Remember …..beautiful things will always come out from the darkness. Darren CONGRATULATIONS to you & all behind what I believe is going to be a real blessing of a song. Love from me (animasirena) ❤️💋❤️💃
Hello Carmela..
I've never heard a song so accurately describe this condition. "And it's not that I don't wanna live
It's the pain that I wish I could kill
All the times that I wanted to die
I made a choice I was gonna survive
It's a blessing a gift and a curse
Every day's a decision to stay with my poison blood"- Just wow. I like how he acknowleges also, that depression is actually associated with creativity, it does have a positive side too.
So talented, so beautiful, so creative, so artistic, i am very glad to hear and see your talent wonderful Darren 😘
Best song Darren you have ever written and sung ❤️
Wow I’m loving this track , this is hit . Please we need to get airplay on radio and please stream
This song hits like Ur track "darkness" really feels like you are underground when your struggling ❤️
Just want to say...Well done, Darren! Well done!
DARREN NEVER EVERRRRRR FAILS TO AMAZE
Um, this gave me more feelings than I expected
Darren You re a Muse for Us your talent, your emotional Soul and Your Amazing voice is our Legacy of Love Stories Thank You for give us your Magic 🌹❤️😘
Every time I view this I’m overwhelmed...The words are so powerful and the video is beautiful and haunting. So much comes to mind when he goes under the water...including past words of his...”I want so much to believe I won’t disappear in the water”...and all the words from “darkness”...There is a lot to say for someone sharing their own emotions and life experiences so openly as Darren is doing. I couldn’t share as much...but know depression to sadly consume me for much of my life. I so appreciate this! I adore this man more than I can say...and as always he puts his all into this...which I really admire! I love you Darren! Big hug! Thank you for helping so many of us in so many amazing ways...thank you for making the choice to stay...
He's still got it !!!!
I'm struggling with depression and anxiety from the last 2 years, and this is the perfect way to express myself about my feelings. As always, like in previous records, you find a way to help me to share exactly what I feel, through your words.
Thanks Darren.
the best voice EVER cannot wait to hear the song
"After the storms of the soul, as well as those of nature, there rise flowers which we thought were dead.”
Absolutely beautiful song, Darren has an amazing voice ❤️❤️❤️ this song 🥰🥰
Thanks for your love and support
Amazing talented man . Brings such joy during these mad times
Es increible como a traves de los años esa linda voz me sigue provocando la misma calma que en un inicio.👏👌
That's a powerful song and it's one of my favorites
You still have the voice of an angel 😇💕💕💗🎶🎵
As someone who suffers with depression, thankyou for sharing this. Each day brings the highs and lows, and I have had this since the 80s. Thank you for being so honest and inspiring us to carry on. Your voice is beautiful and listening to you always makes my heart smile again. You are truly amazing ❤️ 👏 💖 ❤️
Thanks for your love and support
