There is no one better at telling a story than this man. It’s hard to express how lucky we are that we were alive at the same time to experience his magic for over 20 years… no one has ever been more relatable with the stories he tells and not only does he write incredible music but his videos really emphasise the point. The genius, the legend, the artist, the incredible delicate thing that is Darren hayes.
I strongly agree. Whether it's his music from Savage garden or from his solo career, he is always capable of setting the right mood and aiming it at an audience. He is extremely creative and is always able to get a clear message across in his songs through the music, lyrics and video. He is also a very kind and understanding human being who shows so much care towards other people. There's nothing more that anyone could expect from him. Everything he does as is, in his music and life in general, makes him the definition of perfect.
Do feel incredibly lucky to have loved thru the past 30 years as a teen with DH to present day...& being only afew years younger i felt every line, song, album & video ❤ loved the SG years, debut album Spin & he's been my fave since TATS...the epic masterpiece that was TDTWM, SCABS & now this...🎉Amazing & Sublime❤❤ ❤❤❤
This video is so powerfully nostalgic. The thing I love the most is you no longer have to act out a relationship with a woman, we all accept and love you just the way you are 💜
yo siempre supe q era gay en el vídeo d I WANT TO su mirada lo dice todo pero bueno cada quien sale el mundo exterior en el tiempo adecuado lo admiro mucho a este hombre sus canciones las letras la pasión q transmite al cantarlas mucho éxito para ti Darren Hayes te lo mereces por se ese ser radiante con tu música....💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
So real it hurts to hear. " It feels like it's over, but nobody's leaving. There's so much love left so why am I grieving?" Damn, man. You really know how put that feeling into words. Never stop being awesome, Darren.
This is just the story I hear when I listen to this song. Nothing specific goes wrong, there's no betrayal, no big fight, it's just a love that peters out when the people become complacent and comfortable. Heartbreaking as always because Darren knows how to tell a universal story. ❤
Well said Kim. It's not nice when you just don't love that person anymore. Trying to find the right words to say it, without hurting any bodies feelings.
I'm so happy to be able to witness this stage of your life, Darren. It's amazing to see the real you reflected in your art. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
Me too. I'm so grateful I was in middle school when Savage Garden burst on the scene.. they were my first concert, and my favorite band. It's truly been awesome to watch Darren embrace who he is, and create such incredible music the past few years 💜 Love seeing his authentic self. We are so lucky!!
@@alisonclark4233 I bought a ticket to his Sydney Australia do you remember tour, I can assure you it was the most fabulous show, he's been a favourite of mine (Kylie is the other fave) since I was 7 years old (now 31). ❤❤🎉🎉
Darren Hayes is unique! He can sing any song but nobody can sing like him! Just saw him in concert in April and it was definitely the best concert ever! His voice and stage performance were impeccable and exceeded any expectations! I hope he keeps making music, releasing more albums and going on tour! He’s also very sweet and fun to the fans and the crew he works with.
Very powerful. Many of us have been in this situation and it’s hard to express the feeling when it’s happening but this video just projected that feeling. Beautiful as always Darren
Thank you for continuing to send your voice out into the world. I fell in love with your voice the first time I heard it almost 30 years ago. You helped me through marriage, divorce, wins and losses in life. I had missed hearing you, told someone about you and how talented you were, and the next month, you came back with new music and a new life you wanted to share with us. Most of us don't care about the politics of stardom. We just want to see you loved and happy so you can help us heal and grow through your own trials in life. You are a true gift with talents from the heavens.❤
What a gorgeous & heart wrenching video for one of my favorite songs on the album. Thank you Darren and team. Darren, your talent is unmatched and I am so so happy you are still making such incredible music.
Always been a fan since 'I want U' in 1997 (my first cd). Darren's voice is so distinctive, but his lyrics is what drew me into him music, they are so honest. Love his dramatic songs like this one and others like 'I don't know you Anymore' and 'Two beds and a Coffee Machine', they sound so grand, so final. Would have loved to see him live in concern, but missed it this year. What a talent, what an inspiration!
Beautiful song. So refreshing to hear lyrics about the more realistic times in a relationship when everything's not all sunshine and roses, that both partners have to work at it and it's not always easy. Video's stunning and extremely mood-evoking. Bravo to you Darren and all the other people involved in it's creation. 💔😢👏🌹
I love how Darren's music speaks to everyone. There were so many times when I was going through a hard time Darren's music helped me through it. Thank you Darren love you.
Absolutely love this song, it's storytelling at it's best and sadly beautiful. Darren is a master of his art and has a truly exceptional voice. I'm also completely disgusted by some of the hateful comments posted on here by the homophobic trolls. If it's not your thing don't watch it no one forces you to and it doesn't justify the horrible personal attacks aimed at Darren who is just being who he is after years of having to hide it due to people just like you!
I fell in love with you when I heard "To the Moon & Back" during a holiday in Brisbane...and somehow I was nostalgic and today I landed on this...I have no words Darren, your voice, your storytelling...so proud of seeing you fully realised as the great artist you deserve to be and that you share it so generously with the world. Amazing song Darren...I bawled at the scene of the "rock"...it just reminded me how little it takes to make someone feel special and yet people just can't be bothered. Anyway, amazing song. Love.
It's so rare to find a song about this part of a relationship. It's so painful realizing that it has all died down, even though the love will always remain. These lyrics manage to put down in words all these feelings I couldn't properly express.
This song has always been haunting and devastating. We are better for loving and being loved.The stunningly beautiful video only emphasizes the power of love even as it is lost. So much love to Darren Hayes for sharing the Darkness and the Light. (JefWick)
This is like watching a short movie, not a music video! Storytelling at it's best and what a story it tells. So much heartbreak and sorrow! Loved every minute of it❤
What can I say, I love, love , love this. Love Darren so much. No one can tell a story like Darren and make the listener feel so many different emotions. We are all celebrating you Darren. Love you.
The song is so beautiful. Every time I hear the lyrics and watch the video is a reminder of how music can tell a story. It is a heartfelt song I enjoy tuning in to. When the lyrics go hand in hand with the emotional impact of the peak (in the chorus), is pure magic. I find it hard to explain this, but very few people have made me feel so connected to the storyline and the way it is in performed like Darren Hayes. Thank you so much for this song! Last, but not least, my respect goes to all the people involved in the process of making this song come to life.
Geeze Darren, you can still rip out my heart. It's true that a relationship is like any living entity. Without constant attention, they can wither and die. I hope this isn't autobiographical and that you and Richard are all good. Thanks for sharing your music.
A lot of details fit. I keep hoping it’s not, but I had that thought the first time I heard the song and Darren speaks out about his life through his lyrics. It would be heartbreaking. He deserves to be loved and worship. 😊
Well, the latest announcement answers this one. Very sad, but these things happen. I'd say this video captures it all beautifully, and Darren is much loved by so many, near and far. He'll be okay
Throughout every aspect of this album, you can feel how hands-on Darren is with it. Obviously, he wrote every song on the previous albums but Darren seems super connected with all these songs. Maybe it's the videos which are the extra connection? 🤔 Great job Darren. Well done on the tour ❤
Wow…….the song & video clip is absolutely amazing. I was crying watching the love story unfold. Darren & Casey, you both were beautiful in the video clip. Darren, I have always loved your music. You truly are amazing, thank you so much for sharing your soul with us through your beautiful songs xo
This man is such an amazing story teller through his lyrics. The video is beautiful, understated, emotive and moving. As a huge fan for years, I haven’t given this album a chance, it was too electronic for me on first listening. I think I need to revisit it without expectation. I wish the industry would support the people who know their craft and I wish it wasn’t so hyper focused on youth.
The first time I spent Christmas alone 2021 when my Ex moved out after 25 years. Horrible. Half empty home. I fell into big depression which lasts still. Thanks darren for this wonderful song.
Spectacular, lovely, touching, heartbreaking, deep, beautiful, love it totally Darren! How I would have liked to hear this song live on tour 💗 To me this video feels like part 2 of Let’s Try Being in Love 🌸 Bravo D!!
This song is beautiful and holds so much emotion. It shows that all the little things in life really do add up, and that it is hard to let go of it all at once. Especially after holding on to it for so long. The music is also very sweet yet sad which really gets to me. I even got a bit teary when watching the video. 🥲 It breaks my heart to see my No. 1 favourite music artist and singer go through such hard times. But I also feel relieved knowing that real emotions and pain is being expressed and let out in this song, which takes strength, passion and bravery. ❤️
This is the Hayes that I grew up with and taught me about good music, it's very nice to see you, it strikes me that you have an impeccable voice, it's a gift to be able to listen to you.
I love you so much! Your music is the light in my times of happy and sad, grew up discovering love with your music. You are beyond amazing! May you always bless us with your music!❤❤❤
Darren makes art pop. I didn't understand his messages as a child, but still loved his music. As I grew older, I appreciate his hard work and his ability to make too many timeless classics, popular across the nations.
I love your music since Savage Garden days.I thank you cause in the past i wanted to end things but what helped me was your voice it helped me through.The raw emotions in your singings is amazing."To The Moon And Back" will remain my favorite from the past but also love your newer stuff.💖
so amazing. darren...you will always be the voice getting me through. you always have been and you make such an impact on my heart in the best way. this hit home hard. love love love. something you should hear today from a fan aka me is that you will always be a comfort in so many peoples lives and how thankful the world is to have you in it. I know I am. great song.
Can I be more happy? I don't think so! It's remarkable this time that you are delivering so much of yourself and exploring your sexuality as art. I'm so f*cking proud of having you as my favorite singer! I love you so much! ❤❤❤
I've instantly loved this song as soon as it came out, from the first time I've listened to it... Darren, you touch our heart and soul with your music... I'll forever be grateful for the gift and talent you shared with us. Your songs are forever a part of our lives and memories, so thank you... You are an inspiration! You give us hope that humanity and kindness and love will win in this cruel, cruel world we live in... #LoveIsLove #LoveWins ❤
Lyrics I know I'm lost A ghost inhabiting the shell of a man Who looks like someone you loved And I'm cognizant of the way our eyes will do anything To avoid exchanging pain I died a little Cried a river and now our tears have all turned into stone Embraced in our Pompei It feels like it's over But nobody's leaving There's so much love left So why am I grieving You go to bed first I stay up reading You have your back turned You're already dreaming Dancing in circles Avoiding the inevitable It's so polite and that's what's breaking my heart Because we don't even fight for it We don't even break a sweat We don't even scream or cry but baby there was a time When baby you and I We would have died defending this love We would have died for it We would have died defending it We would have died When I was young I guess it fulfilled me emotionally To give myself away That selfless act was not as noble as it first seemed It tethered you to me The fire in your eyes The independent streak that drew you close to me It cooled under my reign It feels like it's over But nobody's leaving There's so much love left So why am I grieving You go to bed first I stay up reading You have your back turned You're already dreaming Dancing in circles Avoiding the inevitable It's so polite and that's what's breaking my heart Because we don't even fight for it We don't even break a sweat We don't even scream or cry but baby there was a time Baby you and I We would have died defending this love We would have died for it We would have died defending it We would have died Sunlight to sunset Lovers to best friends Making us feel like we're Strangers in strange beds Fumbling through feelings Habitual dealings Movie ended waiting for Post credit scenes yeah Sunlight to sunset Lovers to best friends Making us feel like we're Strangers in strange beds Fumbling through feelings Habitual dealings Movie ended waiting for Post credit scenes yeah It feels like it's over But nobody's leaving There's so much love left So why am I grieving You go to bed first I stay up reading You have your back turned You're already dreaming Dancing in circles Avoiding the inevitable It's so polite and that's what's breaking my heart Because we don't even fight for it We don't even break a sweat We don't even scream or cry but baby there was a time When baby you and I We would have died defending this love We would have died for it We would have died defending it We would have died (It feels like it's over) But nobody's leaving There's so much love left So why am I grieving You go to bed first I stay up reading You have your back turned You're already dreaming Dancing in circles Avoiding the inevitable It's so polite and that's what's breaking my heart Because we don't even fight for it We don't even break a sweat Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh, hey-hey
Pure heart and soul of relinquishing faded love. Such amazing lyrics of disappointment and sadness, Darren. It’s why I’ll crash my boat onto your shores over and over! 🙂 such a sweet, emotive, and atmospheric video too. I truly, and greatly, appreciate your artistic genius! Now for a small (kinda) story. It’s been almost 11 years since I’ve been with someone (physically / at all). The last date I had was in July of 2012. Pretty sad, but mostly by choice. I’ve pretty much given up on love, and hope for maybe something in a possible next life. I wasn’t really taught love by mom and dad. Even though I knew they loved me, and I loved them too, and I wouldn’t trade them as parents ever. I miss them terribly. I lost mom not too long ago, when you announced your tour. I was hoping you would come to the states AND even more so, to Chicago.🤞. I was trying to sell my mom’s estate that she left over run by mice, mold, dust, and dog hair. So I cleaned, scrubbed, and made repairs on our neglected summer home / then turned home, of 43 years. This was from July thru September of last year. I was trying to do my mom and dads legacy proud. Then your album came out. 😱 I had been listening to the singles you released while mom succumbed to dementia. Just like I listened to TDTWM while dad lost his battle, (of 30+) years to emphysema in October of 2007. Then you announced extending your tour to the States and… HOB CHICAGO!!! I was over the moon. I had something to look forward to. The last time I saw you, you were still touring with “another band member.” It was about 22 - 23 years ago. You were here before at Borderline Music on Broadway in Boystown, but since I’m not computer savoy, and I didn’t (and still don’t) do social media, I had no idea you were ever here. So, I found a buyer for mom and dads place. I hated selling so soon, but I had no choice. I owed money to the state, to moms bank, and I had borrowed $23K to keep my place solvent along with moms place too. It was time to let go. December was the closing, and I had that month to sort and remove, mom and dads personal items, and antiques they had collected over their lifetime together. It was mostly mom’s antiques. Dad sacrificed and worked his ass off to give mom everything her spoiled self wanted. He never said no on a truckers salary. We lived poor, but never hungry, or cold. How poor? In the 70’s, in LZ Illinois, our farm houses’ basement was half DIRT, with the back wall foundation caving in during the 10 years we lived there. December to March I kept trying to get tickets. Computer and tech handicapped made it incredibly frustrating trying to get tickets thru Live Nation and Ticketmaster 🤬🤬 This is a story within a story I’ll skip. I tried again in April, and I finally figured out that it was my credit card contact number that was incorrect, and FINALLY, I got tickets 🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏 Unfortunately, I got the flu a week before your scheduled tour date. It wasn’t too bad, AT FIRST. I kept taking OTC meds and resting. I was determined to beat this, and make it to your concert! However, the weekend before, my symptoms escalated, and I had to go see the doctor Monday 4/17 Even with no medical insurance. It’s now three days before the concert, and I’m weak, coughing, with severe sinus congestion, and taking 875 milligrams of Amoxicillin twice daily. Still resting, and hoping for the best. Well, I have to tell you I’m so sorry for missing your show. The universe really has it out for me sometimes, and I was way too weak. Plus I would’ve had to go by myself. I guess I wasn’t meant to see your show, but fortunately someone posted your concert on UA-cam. I can’t thank them enough! I’m really hoping it’s not going to be another 23 years before I get to a chance to see you again in concert. I hope you will continue to make music. That’s the most important thing you can do for all your fans. It has really kept me going through the years. Is there a point to my rambling story. Sorry ADD and ADHD. Squirrel!! Yes, and maybe. Parents are never perfect. Just like a child will always be selfish. And not perfect too. Today, I feel we really expect so much from our parents. As much as I feel I was neglected and ignored by my mom and dad. I still felt loved and cared for even if it wasn’t an 80’s family sitcom. Going thru all mom and dads belongings and pictures, it was sad to not find even ONE picture of my mom holding me. Not even as an infant. Even in this distant upbringing I found out one thing. taking care of my mom as she ignored her dementia over the last year of her life was what I needed I guess. We all know how parents say that there love is unconditional for their children, but I learned it’s also unconditional in return. From a child back to a parent. This was the smile of love I always got from my mom when I would enter her room in the facility she stayed at across the street from my home. She would always say “Hi Tone, I didn’t think you would make it today.” Even though it would be my second or third visit that day. I do miss seeing that smile now. And even more, I miss bringing her a pumpkin latte in the morning, and hot fudge sundae in the evening. During her time there, those simple moments we shared were so priceless. So now that I’m truly alone, I’m going to go out and live a little. Hopefully maybe the universe will cut me a little slack now. No great expectations. Just a few plans, and I’m hoping that I can plan on seeing a new concert, from a new album, Darren, in a year, (or two🙂). Xo

Thats a heart breaking story, but its so real its life. Don’t ever feel alone or sorry. You. Don’t know what miracle will cone tomorrow
Stay strong, don't ever give up... We are all victims of life situations and expectations, and there are so many things that we can't control, but we adapt to the circumstances at best of our abilities... What's important to remember is that all of us are here for a reason, even though we don't see it or understand it sometimes. And, as some wise human once said, it is not our abilities that make us who we really are - it is our choices. So, choose wisely and don't ever give up on hope and love, 'cause love is the reason this life has a meaning and all of it is worth our time here on this planet. Take care of yourself and other people too, respect others and you'll find love all around you... You never know, you just might be surprised by all kinds of love you'll discover in your life, 'cause love always wins. Wishing you all the best. #LoveWins
Such a beautiful story even though its painful too. I hope you are doing well and finding much peaceful joy in life... life doesnt give us everything we wish for, but we have to love it unconditionally , just like you loved your mom. sending you lovee...
Omg this is already such an amazing song, and your video is really perfect, powerful and sweet at the same time! Cried at the first viewing. Holding that back second and third viewing so I can catch all the beautiful details! Wonderful job Darren, and everyone involved! Thank you for continuing to inspire and thrill! I love you D!
Absolutely beautiful!!! I cried the entire time, this so explains a lot!!! Thank YOU Darren for putting soo many feelings and emotions into words for many of us… ❤❤❤
I just heard ‘Truly, Madly..’ after so many years. Had always loved that song but actually ‘heard’ the lyrics, for the first time!!! So, I was curious to find what Darren Hayes is upto…absolutely love this song aswell. Where have I been??? Have to catchup with all your songs….amazing story teller and touches my heart….sending you peace,love n blessings 🎉❤🎉
⭐️Love it Darren!⭐️ Highlights were The Christmas tree scene, the shoe box of memories and your beautiful smile that can light up a room and melt hearts! 🥰
❤️💜I understand--why some people walk away from those who love them?--Because they have not yet grown their Loving Heart, it is clear...SENDING MY LOVE!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
There is no one better at telling a story than this man. It’s hard to express how lucky we are that we were alive at the same time to experience his magic for over 20 years… no one has ever been more relatable with the stories he tells and not only does he write incredible music but his videos really emphasise the point. The genius, the legend, the artist, the incredible delicate thing that is Darren hayes.
I strongly agree.
Whether it's his music from Savage garden or from his solo career, he is always capable of setting the right mood and aiming it at an audience. He is extremely creative and is always able to get a clear message across in his songs through the music, lyrics and video.
He is also a very kind and understanding human being who shows so much care towards other people. There's nothing more that anyone could expect from him. Everything he does as is, in his music and life in general, makes him the definition of perfect.
Agree with everything you said. He’s also an amazing person with a big loving heart! He’s one of the best singers of all times.
Just absolutely beautiful ❤❤

The thing I love the most is you no longer have to act out a relationship with a woman, we all accept and love you just the way you are 💜

So incredibly excited about this! Darren is the voice of my childhood. So lucky I got to appreciate his music growing up.
Me too.
I know right I have always loved his music🎶🎶 my mom loved his music as well I think she would be happy that he still is making music
@@reneestanton9363 i am sure, she is. I appreciate it too.
What a great sleep Ng!!
What a great song

This is spot on Kim. It's the sadest feeling.
I agree
Omg. That was SO well-put. 🙌
It was so hard to hear him announce his marriage is ending at his concert this year
I'm so happy to be able to witness this stage of your life, Darren. It's amazing to see the real you reflected in your art. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

Not all relationships are stormy , up & down, high & low. Sometimes they just fizzle out quietly & nobody talks about this .. this song is perfect ❤
What a gorgeous & heart wrenching video for one of my favorite songs on the album. Thank you Darren and team. Darren, your talent is unmatched and I am so so happy you are still making such incredible music.
Wow Darren. This is beautiful. You are such a poet. I’ve always loved your writing/lyrics. The video is amazing….made me cry.

Wow, can really get lost in this song, amazing love it.
This song deserves a number 1 on the charts! The whole album is a masterpiece! Darren’s voice gets deep into my heart!
the most beautiful falsetto voice ever! gorgeous song - kudos to you for creating this piece of art! Much love from the USA!
Video is also great! I like it. Beautiful, simple, but nuanced and truthfully in telling the story of romance and love fading away.
Geeze Darren, you can still rip out my heart. It's true that a relationship is like any living entity. Without constant attention, they can wither and die. I hope this isn't autobiographical and that you and Richard are all good. Thanks for sharing your music.
That's exactly what I was thinking, I hope it's not about his marriage.
A lot of details fit. I keep hoping it’s not, but I had that thought the first time I heard the song and Darren speaks out about his life through his lyrics. It would be heartbreaking. He deserves to be loved and worship. 😊
Well, the latest announcement answers this one. Very sad, but these things happen. I'd say this video captures it all beautifully, and Darren is much loved by so many, near and far. He'll be okay
What announcement ? Have they broke up?
Thank you for letting me know what a shame , but sometimes people just drift apart.
Darren, this is one of the most sincere and emotional songs I've ever heard in my life.
😊 can't wait 🎉
Throughout every aspect of this album, you can feel how hands-on Darren is with it.
Obviously, he wrote every song on the previous albums but Darren seems super connected with all these songs.
Maybe it's the videos which are the extra connection? 🤔
Great job Darren. Well done on the tour ❤
Wow…….the song & video clip is absolutely amazing. I was crying watching the love story unfold. Darren & Casey, you both were beautiful in the video clip. Darren, I have always loved your music. You truly are amazing, thank you so much for sharing your soul with us through your beautiful songs xo
Thank you Darren, it's a beautiful song❤
I was hoping there would be another music video! Guess I'll be setting an alarm clock (damn you time zones!)
I’m overjoyed that you’re back to music!
Дарен ты прекрасен всегда!!!!!! Счастья тебе и всего самого лучшего желаю!!!!! Спасибо что Ты есть!!!!!!!!!!!
Member of the first 216- 500 likes! Watching on repeat. 2.24 AM don't care. Great job Darren and everyone involved in this masterpiece ❤🎉
My favourite song on the album! 🫶🏻 Thrilled that it now has a video, and an absolutely beautiful video at that 🩵
I was expecting some sappy song that made me feel bad, but this was actually uplifting and inspirational.
@@Piecesoftheshadow Because Darren's music as he has grown has been about not being a victim and this song continues that theme.
@@Piecesoftheshadow This is not "The Lover After Me."
OMG I'm listening to this track just as I'm seeing this. My favorite song on the album. 🥰🥰🥰
Ahhhh I ADORE this song - so looking forward to seeing this creation! 🧡
This man is such an amazing story teller through his lyrics. The video is beautiful, understated, emotive and moving. As a huge fan for years, I haven’t given this album a chance, it was too electronic for me on first listening. I think I need to revisit it without expectation. I wish the industry would support the people who know their craft and I wish it wasn’t so hyper focused on youth.
One of his best video. The more I watch at it at the more I think he is good actor too.
This is my favourite track from the album; and now my favourite video! 🎉
The first time I spent Christmas alone 2021 when my Ex moved out after 25 years. Horrible. Half empty home. I fell into big depression which lasts still. Thanks darren for this wonderful song.
Stay in there
@@LordMonstrux I have found a new cozy home about 17 months ago only for myself. I changed quite a lot and survived.
Spectacular, lovely, touching, heartbreaking, deep, beautiful, love it totally Darren! How I would have liked to hear this song live on tour 💗 To me this video feels like part 2 of Let’s Try Being in Love 🌸 Bravo D!!
dude knows STILL how to make me cry!!
My fave song on the album. I knew this MV would be so moving and & beautifully done that it would make me cry. I love it!
Wow ❤
Can’t stop watching, listening love this so much. Adored DH for years he is the most underrated singer/songwriter.
This song is beautiful and holds so much emotion. It shows that all the little things in life really do add up, and that it is hard to let go of it all at once. Especially after holding on to it for so long.
The music is also very sweet yet sad which really gets to me. I even got a bit teary when watching the video. 🥲
It breaks my heart to see my No. 1 favourite music artist and singer go through such hard times. But I also feel relieved knowing that real emotions and pain is being expressed and let out in this song, which takes strength, passion and bravery. ❤️
Wow D..it’s so so good! 💜 I love this song and now the video with it! It’s amazing
This is the Hayes that I grew up with and taught me about good music, it's very nice to see you, it strikes me that you have an impeccable voice, it's a gift to be able to listen to you.
You are a masterpiece, Darren. Love, forever. 💗
I love you so much! Your music is the light in my times of happy and sad, grew up discovering love with your music. You are beyond amazing! May you always bless us with your music!❤❤❤
Great video, it fits the song and tells the story well, looks like a movie ❤
The song is amazing, it had me feeling this sadness of a lost love that was adore for so long! Seems someone was get hurt no matter what!
@Darren.Hayes. Kansas
That is an amazing video! Wow Darren I’m literally sat here in tears. Beautifully done from start to finish. 💜
OMG ... EXCELENTE!!! BRILLIANT VIDEO FULL OF EMOTION!!! ❤ CONGRATS DARREN!!! 👏👏👏👏
Very powerful. So emotional. That’s the artistry of a master. ❤
Darren makes art pop. I didn't understand his messages as a child, but still loved his music. As I grew older, I appreciate his hard work and his ability to make too many timeless classics, popular across the nations.
I'm waiting!!!!! In Poland it will be 6p.m. Notfication turned on!!!😁😃
There could not have been a better video for this amazing song. Thank you, Darren ❤❤❤
I love your music since Savage Garden days.I thank you cause in the past i wanted to end things but what helped me was your voice it helped me through.The raw emotions in your singings is amazing."To The Moon And Back" will remain my favorite from the past but also love your newer stuff.💖
Great song! It reminds me of how sometimes we outgrow people and some relationships fade away. I love the Christmas tree part.
so amazing. darren...you will always be the voice getting me through. you always have been and you make such an impact on my heart in the best way. this hit home hard. love love love. something you should hear today from a fan aka me is that you will always be a comfort in so many peoples lives and how thankful the world is to have you in it. I know I am. great song.
So extraordinary and relatable. Congratulations on the beautiful song
Can I be more happy? I don't think so! It's remarkable this time that you are delivering so much of yourself and exploring your sexuality as art. I'm so f*cking proud of having you as my favorite singer! I love you so much! ❤❤❤
I've instantly loved this song as soon as it came out, from the first time I've listened to it... Darren, you touch our heart and soul with your music... I'll forever be grateful for the gift and talent you shared with us. Your songs are forever a part of our lives and memories, so thank you... You are an inspiration! You give us hope that humanity and kindness and love will win in this cruel, cruel world we live in... #LoveIsLove #LoveWins ❤
👏👏👏❤❤❤🌷🌷🌷
Heartbreaking and powerful. All the best, Darren
Looking forward to seeing this x 💜
This is so real, and poignant, and heartbreaking, and beautiful all at the same time.
Lyrics
I know I'm lost
A ghost inhabiting the shell of a man
Who looks like someone you loved
And I'm cognizant of the way our eyes will do anything
To avoid exchanging pain
I died a little
Cried a river and now our tears have all turned into stone
Embraced in our Pompei
It feels like it's over
But nobody's leaving
There's so much love left
So why am I grieving
You go to bed first
I stay up reading
You have your back turned
You're already dreaming
Dancing in circles
Avoiding the inevitable
It's so polite and that's what's breaking my heart
Because we don't even fight for it
We don't even break a sweat
We don't even scream or cry but baby there was a time
When baby you and I
We would have died defending this love
We would have died for it
We would have died defending it
We would have died
When I was young
I guess it fulfilled me emotionally
To give myself away
That selfless act was not as noble as it first seemed
It tethered you to me
The fire in your eyes
The independent streak that drew you close to me
It cooled under my reign
It feels like it's over
But nobody's leaving
There's so much love left
So why am I grieving
You go to bed first
I stay up reading
You have your back turned
You're already dreaming
Dancing in circles
Avoiding the inevitable
It's so polite and that's what's breaking my heart
Because we don't even fight for it
We don't even break a sweat
We don't even scream or cry but baby there was a time
Baby you and I
We would have died defending this love
We would have died for it
We would have died defending it
We would have died
Sunlight to sunset
Lovers to best friends
Making us feel like we're
Strangers in strange beds
Fumbling through feelings
Habitual dealings
Movie ended waiting for
Post credit scenes yeah
Sunlight to sunset
Lovers to best friends
Making us feel like we're

There's so much love left
So why am I grieving
You go to bed first

Avoiding the inevitable
It's so polite and that's what's breaking my heart
Because we don't even fight for it
We don't even break a sweat
We don't even scream or cry but baby there was a time
When baby you and I
We would have died defending this love
We would have died for it
We would have died defending it
We would have died (It feels like it's over)
But nobody's leaving
There's so much love left
So why am I grieving
You go to bed first
I stay up reading
You have your back turned
You're already dreaming
Dancing in circles
Avoiding the inevitable
It's so polite and that's what's breaking my heart
Because we don't even fight for it
We don't even break a sweat
Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh, hey-hey
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Merci beaucoup
Спасибо! 😊
Pure heart and
soul of relinquishing faded love. Such amazing lyrics of disappointment and sadness, Darren. It’s why I’ll crash my boat onto your shores over and over! 🙂 such a sweet, emotive, and atmospheric video too. I truly, and greatly, appreciate your artistic genius!
Now for a small (kinda) story. It’s been almost
11 years since I’ve been with someone (physically / at all). The last date I had was in July of 2012. Pretty sad, but mostly by choice. I’ve pretty much given up on love, and hope
for maybe something in a possible next life. I wasn’t really taught love by mom and dad. Even though I knew they loved me, and I loved them too, and I wouldn’t trade them as parents ever. I miss them terribly. I lost mom not too long ago, when you announced your tour. I was hoping you would come to the states AND even more so, to Chicago.🤞.
I was trying to sell my mom’s estate that she left over run by mice, mold, dust, and dog hair. So I cleaned, scrubbed, and made repairs on our neglected summer home / then turned home, of 43 years. This was from July thru September of last year. I was trying to do my mom and dads legacy proud. Then your album came out. 😱 I had been listening to the singles you released while mom succumbed to dementia. Just like I listened to TDTWM while dad lost his battle, (of 30+) years to emphysema in October of 2007.
Then you announced extending your tour to the States and… HOB CHICAGO!!! I was over the moon. I had something to look forward to. The last time I saw you, you were still touring with “another band member.” It was about 22 - 23 years ago. You were here before at Borderline Music on Broadway in Boystown, but since I’m not computer savoy, and I didn’t (and still don’t) do social media, I had no idea you were ever here.
So, I found a buyer for mom and dads place. I hated selling so soon, but I had no choice. I owed money to the state, to moms bank, and I had borrowed $23K to keep my place solvent along with moms place too.
It was time to let go.
December was the closing, and I had that month to sort and remove, mom and dads personal items, and antiques they had collected over their lifetime together. It was mostly mom’s antiques. Dad sacrificed and worked his ass off to give mom everything her spoiled self wanted. He never said no on a truckers salary. We lived poor, but never hungry, or cold. How poor? In the 70’s, in LZ Illinois, our farm houses’ basement was half DIRT, with the back wall foundation caving in during the 10 years we lived there.
December to March I kept trying to get tickets. Computer and tech handicapped made it incredibly frustrating trying to get tickets thru Live Nation and Ticketmaster 🤬🤬
This is a story within a story I’ll skip. I tried again in April, and I finally figured out that it was my credit card contact number that was incorrect, and
FINALLY, I got tickets
🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏
Unfortunately, I got the flu a week before your scheduled tour date. It wasn’t too bad, AT FIRST. I kept taking OTC meds and resting. I was determined to beat this, and make it to your concert! However, the weekend before, my symptoms escalated, and I had to go see the doctor Monday 4/17 Even with no medical insurance. It’s now three days before the concert, and I’m weak, coughing, with severe sinus congestion, and taking 875 milligrams of Amoxicillin twice daily.
Still resting, and hoping for the best.
Well, I have to tell you I’m so sorry for missing your show. The universe really has it out for me sometimes, and I was way too weak. Plus I would’ve had to go by myself. I guess I wasn’t meant to see your show, but fortunately someone posted your concert on UA-cam. I can’t thank them enough!
I’m really hoping it’s not going to be another 23 years before I get to a chance to see you again in concert. I hope you will continue to make music. That’s the most important thing you can do for all your fans. It has really kept me going through the years.
Is there a point to my rambling story. Sorry ADD and ADHD. Squirrel!!
Yes, and maybe.
Parents are never perfect. Just like a child will always be selfish. And not perfect too. Today, I feel we really expect so much from our parents. As much as I feel I was neglected and ignored by my mom and dad. I still felt loved and cared for even if it wasn’t an 80’s family sitcom.
Going thru all mom and dads belongings and pictures, it was sad to not find even ONE picture of my mom holding me. Not even as an infant.
Even in this distant upbringing I found out one thing. taking care of my mom as she ignored her dementia over the last year of her life was what I needed I guess. We all know how parents say that there love is unconditional for their children, but I learned it’s also unconditional in return. From a child back to a parent.
This was the smile of love I always got from my mom when I would enter her room in the facility she stayed at across the street from my home. She would always say “Hi Tone, I didn’t think you would make it today.” Even though it would be my second or third visit that day. I do miss seeing that smile now. And even more, I miss bringing her a pumpkin latte in the morning, and hot fudge sundae in the evening. During her time there, those simple moments we shared were so priceless.
So now that I’m truly alone, I’m going to go out and live a little. Hopefully maybe the universe will cut me a little slack now. No great expectations. Just a few plans, and I’m hoping that I can plan on seeing a new concert, from a new album, Darren, in a year, (or two🙂). Xo
Thats a heart breaking story, but its so real its life. Don’t ever feel alone or sorry. You. Don’t know what miracle will cone tomorrow
Thank you for sharing your story. Sending you love and light ❤
❤❤❤
Stay strong, don't ever give up... We are all victims of life situations and expectations, and there are so many things that we can't control, but we adapt to the circumstances at best of our abilities... What's important to remember is that all of us are here for a reason, even though we don't see it or understand it sometimes. And, as some wise human once said, it is not our abilities that make us who we really are - it is our choices. So, choose wisely and don't ever give up on hope and love, 'cause love is the reason this life has a meaning and all of it is worth our time here on this planet. Take care of yourself and other people too, respect others and you'll find love all around you... You never know, you just might be surprised by all kinds of love you'll discover in your life, 'cause love always wins. Wishing you all the best. #LoveWins
Such a beautiful story even though its painful too. I hope you are doing well and finding much peaceful joy in life... life doesnt give us everything we wish for, but we have to love it unconditionally , just like you loved your mom. sending you lovee...
