I saw him live once and he was late for the gig. By quite a lot of time. But as soon as he started to sing I was mesmerised. He was wearing an old check shirt and a knitted beanie. Still mesmerised ! 🥰
Shoutout to all the Savage Garden fans on this page! I used to feel like the only Savage Garden fan until I came here!! Woohoo! Awesome band! Love them and you too Jay! ❤
This is also a good song from a parent to a kid. I heard this after I had my son and tears were streaming down my face because is couldn’t have been anymore true. I definitely knew I loved him before I met him.
I used to sing this song to my special needs niece after she was born as I became an Aunty before being blessed as a Mother 💜 she passed 2 years ago due to health problems 😢 when I hear this song I always think of her 💔
I'm split on the song. I think it's good, but man. Back when the song was in it's prime and I was being dragged to weddings (since I was a kid), this song was ALWAYS picked for the bride-groom dance. By like the 3rd or 4th wedding, I wanted to yell at the bride and groom and even DJ to pick something else to dance to. Plus yell at the bride and groom for trying to tell everyone that it was "their" song. How can I see it as "their" song, when I know a couple other married couples that consider it their song? The less I know, the better. I know one couple can't claim it and stuff, but if another couple comes along that I don't personally know and didn't go to their wedding, I can believe it. But this song is one of those that I would like to add to the list of songs that should banned from a wedding reception. IF I can ever get married (I have to find a girl first that finds me attractive, which I'm 0-1000 on), I can guarantee this song will be banned from the wedding reception. Or at least wait until later in the night for it to finally be played. At least I don't hear it as much now at weddings. It's prime days are over with, so maybe I won't exactly ban it. Actually, wedding receptions are no longer romantic and stuff or about love. The last couple weddings I went to, everyone was sick of the romantic/slow nonsense at receptions and just wanted party music. They were even demanding to dance to anti-love songs. The only romantic/slow song I hear at weddings now is whatever the song is that the bride and groom pick to dance to. It's all about dancing and drinking as much alcohol as they can. This might explain why divorce rates are so high nowadays. Nobody cares that two people found love. It's all about partying and a reason to drink alcohol. Plus maybe see friends and family.
So pleased for you to have a healthy Neice now. Wishing you all well. I waited a long time for my Son and always sang this to him as a little one. He's a wonderful 18yr old now. I must play this song to him x
Given they had only 2 albums - it isn’t treat surprising. The two he has reacted to were the biggest international hits but their other songs are more interesting
In 2002, before it was not a strange thing, I went into an AOL chatroom after meeting a Welshman on holiday and losing his email address. I typed in 'are there any funny Welshmen in here?' and a different Welshman replied 'I'm funny looking, does that count?' We struck up a friendship. He came to visit me in California 3 times and I visited him in Wales before we decided to marry. 19 years later we are still laughing and enjoying our lives. This was the song played for our first dance at our wedding reception. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
@@PixelatedH2O I both of them too, haven't listened to them in a while but I knew I loved you is always on a playlist; a shame they only did two albums together
This song was actually dedicated to his unborn daughter. That's why he says I knew I loved you before I met you. Knowing that, the song and lyrics makes much more sense.
I love Savage Garden, this is my favorite song. I was truly hurt when they split.We actually played this at my daughter's wedding during the processional with a list of R&B songs. Also my daughter's favorite Savage Garden song.
Oh, yes. :) Goodnight Girl extended version recorded at their Royal Albert Hall concert shows how great they were live. (and do not forget their jazzy/blues songs... 'Maybe I'm in love' was their original bigband song a decade later...)
For Me? Darren was a handful of high pitched male singers... who gave such powerful interpretation of what he ment. Without out having to belt it out. Unique and Beautiful!!
No lie I didn’t like this band as a kid in the 90’s because my step mom played this album on repeat but now I respect the talent. Funny how things change.
@@jonny_mazerati9410 depends. People's tastes change with age. Somethings you thought were lame as a kid turns out wasn't so lame as you become an adult and vice versa.
I did an interview and I asked Darren what song he was most proud of writing. He said "Two beds and a coffee machine" I agree, it's a great song and tells a very emotional story of domestic abuse "‘It’s a song about how I grew up. My dad was a violent alcoholic and he beat my mother. People didn’t expect pop music to be authentic. There were a lot of manufactured bands - of which I love. But I still meet people today who’ll say ‘who was that song about?’ and I’ll go ‘that’s my mum, my childhood.’’
Listen to “to the moon and back” & “I want you” & “crash and burn” next ... these are more upbeat and their best songs even better than the 2 you reacted to already!
That's one thing Iike about Savage Garden, their sound, and especially the lead singer's voice lends themselves so well to R & B. Kinda like what we call Blue Eyed Soul. Very good.
Great reaction. Love this song. It’s one of My and my husband go to songs. Another great song by savage garden. I want you. That’s the first song I heard by them.😀👍❤️✌️🌼
Fabulous! Love Savage Garden 💛🌸💛 Have seen the lead singer, our eyes met for a split second. I did not mean to stir at him, but, I thought immediately, I know him! Then it clicked 🤔. My favourite song of theirs, not to mention, one of my all time favourates is, To The. Moon and Back " 🌚🚀🚀🌚. Thank you for your amazing smile and singing 🎶☺️🎶 L💞ve from England 🎤🎼🎤💕
"I Want You" was their first big hit and a much more up-tempo catchy song. I remember Rosie O-Donnell going on about it on her show before it was a hit and her promotion made their career I think.
Darren Hayes is the lead singer. Please listen to his solo track, "Insatiable", when you get the chance, for an even better understanding of what his voice can do. Plus the song is really beautiful and memorable and the theme is very sexual.
I love this song!!!! I know it's supposed to be romantic, but everytime I hear this song it reminds me of my biological Dad. We had our 1st father daughter dance at my son's wedding 2 yrs ago, to this song. I was literally searching all my life. 50 yrs!! ❤
I love this song. My favorite of theirs is Affirmattion, still so relevant. AS for other 90's songs, give Take That a listen. Babe, Pray, Relight my fire, Back for good or Never forget.
many years ago i was a construction worker in london and at the close of my shift i got on the train and saw the most beautiful girl ever. i knew i didnt stand a chance; not in the drab garb I was in. so i waited till i reached my stop and on my way out I handed her my ticket. I don't remember the exact words, but it must have been something like. 'Hi, I don't think we'll ever meet again but I want you to know that I think you're the most beautiful girl i've ever seen." Of course I never saw her again
Check out Darren's solo material - he has released 5 solo albums post SG. His last album was his absolute best - Bloodstained Heart, Black Out The Sun, Talk Talk Talk and Stupid Mistake were the singles off it. Check him out!!
I love that song! Saw Savage Garden live back in the day and have seen Darren live 4 times...amazing, his voice is just as good live as it is on studio tracks!!
I had forgotten how much I liked this group. Jayvee I really love your channel. First was because I enjoy seeing your reaction to older songs that you had never heard and also bringing back songs I had forgotten about
Thank you for choosing this one to react to. Its one of my favourites and the song i used at my wedding as the guests were being seated before the ceremony.That was in 2014 and it brings back lots of lovely memories.
This song inspired me to write "I Knew I Loved You Before I Met You" on the tag of my gift to my, as then, unborn granddaughter Auria. It's such a beautiful song ,love your reaction J
I remember singing this to my O-Town & Nsync posters when I was 15-16🤣🤣... Not sure if anybody knew but Kirsten Dunst was his love interest in the video👍🏻
Great song make sure everyone is giving a thumbs up Comment and sharing these with fb and twitter
And he's Australian👍
Darren Hayes is such a good vocalist & way underrated
He is so damn good at everything he does. He’s solo career , all cds so good and the music and writing .
I saw him live once and he was late for the gig. By quite a lot of time. But as soon as he started to sing I was mesmerised. He was wearing an old check shirt and a knitted beanie. Still mesmerised ! 🥰
I don’t think anyone has noted this yet. The woman on the subway is Kirsten Dunst, a lovely and talented actress. ❤️
@STOP CRYING I bet your fun at parties!
@STOP CRYING maybe to you
I thought so.. :)
@STOP CRYING you forgot less with the word taste...
@STOP CRYING says the faceless talentless troll!!!
Two cups and a coffee machine is a brilliant song. Love savage garden.
Darren Hayes was classically trained. His voice is astounding. I saw them live in their home town when I was in highschool. Amazing
you are soo lucky!
A Brisbane girl.
One word "QUEENSLANDER!"😎👏👏👏👏
This is what happens when a prolific songwriter meets an exceptional composer😁🇦🇺
To the Moon and Back is by far their best song but this one still get the girls all cuddly.
Same for me...like a few of their other songs quite a bit, including this one, but To The Moon And Back is just soooo good.
Its so good!
My favorite from them
Yes, "To the Moon and Back" was definitely the better song.
This song is still popular to this day.
Kirsten dunst from the spiderman movies is the girl. She loved the band so much and wanted to be in the video
Kirsten Dunst looks so beautiful is this video
I just now realized Kirsten Dunst was in this video. Lol 🤣
She was 17 at the time of this video
The lyrics are what every girl wants to hear 💯
Yeah, but if some stranger came up a girl and sang/said that, he would be met with rejection 😁
Poetry never works... trust me 😁
Shoutout to all the Savage Garden fans on this page! I used to feel like the only Savage Garden fan until I came here!! Woohoo! Awesome band! Love them and you too Jay! ❤
This is also a good song from a parent to a kid. I heard this after I had my son and tears were streaming down my face because is couldn’t have been anymore true. I definitely knew I loved him before I met him.
❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Jennifer furber That is exactly what and who I associate this song with, my son. ☺
I used to sing this song to my special needs niece after she was born as I became an Aunty before being blessed as a Mother 💜 she passed 2 years ago due to health problems 😢 when I hear this song I always think of her 💔
May every person feel this kind of love! ❤️ This is such a wonderful song ❤️ Everything's just perfect and conveys a powerful meaning!
You should hear Darren Hayes' voice in his solo song "Insatiable" 😉
Yep! Love that song too 😍
most romantic song of the 90s
That's quite a statement.
I think butterfly by crazytown is 🤔
@@vggeist644 Still love that song now 👍
It’s not even their most romantic song truly, madly, deeply is better honestly

Played truly madly deeply at my wedding. This was another favorite. Keep playing this great music!
My sister wanted a daughter and had problems.. And she was born sick. She's 31 and healthy now. This was her song for her. Gets me teary.
sweet!! I used to sing this to my kids also
So pleased for you to have a healthy Neice now. Wishing you all well. I waited a long time for my Son and always sang this to him as a little one. He's a wonderful 18yr old now. I must play this song to him x
@@AdsMum100 it's a great song for a child. My niece is getting married. We're all so excited.
@@dana_brooke_27 this song is good but it's so cheesy
@@calvin9187 yeah a lot of beautiful songs are
22 years have passed and the quality is still 5 stars. That's when you know it's a classic
Savage Garden released only 14 singles but I would say 8 of them were hits. To the Moon and Back is probably the next one on your list.
Given they had only 2 albums - it isn’t treat surprising.
The two he has reacted to were the biggest international hits but their other songs are more interesting
In 2002, before it was not a strange thing, I went into an AOL chatroom after meeting a Welshman on holiday and losing his email address.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
This song was released and sends me straight back to my first year of high school. It's a nearly perfect love song.
Sends me back to senior year in high school I bought the album immediately and the first one was so good too
@@deesee3622 I still own a couple of their CDs, though I haven't touched them in years
@@PixelatedH2O I both of them too, haven't listened to them in a while but I knew I loved you is always on a playlist; a shame they only did two albums together
This song was actually dedicated to his unborn daughter. That's why he says I knew I loved you before I met you. Knowing that, the song and lyrics makes much more sense.
He's come out and said he wrote it as a screw you to his publisher....
I love Savage Garden, this is my favorite song. I was truly hurt when they split.We actually played this at my daughter's wedding during the processional with a list of R&B songs. Also my daughter's favorite Savage Garden song.
You should watch him sing live. Acoustic. He's got the voice of an 😇 smooth . No auto tune. His voice is still the same after all these years!
Another great Savage Garden hit is, “Affirmation”.
Oh yes. Forgot about that one (which is odd, given that's the title track of their second CD...)
The Affirmation album is just incredible from start to finish, full on emotional journey through a failed relationship with someone you really loved.
The song they performed at the 2000 Sydney Olympics
Affirmation 💯 My all time favourite song
my favourite
Think you'll like Wet Wet Wet too. They had their hits early 90's: Goodnight Girl, Love is All Around, Angel Eyes.
Oh, yes. :) Goodnight Girl extended version recorded at their Royal Albert Hall concert shows how great they were live. (and do not forget their jazzy/blues songs... 'Maybe I'm in love' was their original bigband song a decade later...)
I grew up with them! 90’s nostalgia is real ❤
"I Want You" and "To The Moon and Back" next!
For Me? Darren was a handful of high pitched male singers... who gave such powerful interpretation of what he ment. Without out having to belt it out. Unique and Beautiful!!
Song was supposedly inspired by a Prince interview they watched where he talked about falling in love with his wife.
It was quite weird because back then it was obvious to everybody except Darren Hayes that he was gay even though he was married.
No lie I didn’t like this band as a kid in the 90’s because my step mom played this album on repeat but now I respect the talent. Funny how things change.
Your lying actually. You did like them.
I would never have admitted to liking them as a kid in the 90’s because I was just too cool.
@@jonny_mazerati9410 depends. People's tastes change with age. Somethings you thought were lame as a kid turns out wasn't so lame as you become an adult and vice versa.
People change. I loved them in the 90's, but I was a teenager, so probably a bit older than you :)
@@Femtos it was a joke since he said he’s not even lying. 😂😂 wow 😳😂
They had two great albums together - every song is good
I think they ended up falling out really badly with each other if I remember correctly?
His voice is Amazing! So smooth and melodic and pretty, calming. I’ve always loved their music and his solo stuff is pretty good too.
One of my all time favourite songs. The simple, clear words, and the beautiful melody. It's perfect harmony, like finding the right one.
The was THE BALLARD in the 2000’s - bringing back fond memories! Love it so much and his voice gives me MJ vibe for sure.
This is 90s actually
You probably mean "ballad"...😁
Quack!
1999
Truly madly deeply
I did an interview and I asked Darren what song he was most proud of writing. He said "Two beds and a coffee machine" I agree, it's a great song and tells a very emotional story of domestic abuse "‘It’s a song about how I grew up.

Darren Hayes has the most beautiful voice, have a listen to Truly Madly Deeply, To the Moon and Back, Affirmation and so many more great songs
One of the best Aussie artists of all time, shame not many others make it big in the us 😔🇦🇺✊🏻
Well they did and have. Air Supply and Little River Band were serving this up in the 70's.
INXS, Men at Work, AC DC ..
Look at you, singing it out. I've always liked this more than "Truly, Madly, Deeply" too!
Fantastic band and Darren has an amazing voice. They were HUGE in the 90's!!
Listen to “to the moon and back” & “I want you” & “crash and burn” next ... these are more upbeat and their best songs even better than the 2 you reacted to already!
I think Jovaughn already did "Truly Madly Deeply"...
@@StudeSteve62 meant “I want you” & to the moon and back
Crash and burn is a must.
The “Animal Song” is great too
Affirmation by savage garden is one of my all time favs. You should give it a listen
Yes!
Definitely!
Amazing song.
Yes!
God I love this song...it just takes me away when I close my eyes and listen to it
That's one thing Iike about Savage Garden, their sound, and especially the lead singer's voice lends themselves so well to R & B.
Kinda like what we call Blue Eyed Soul. Very good.
Great reaction. Love this song. It’s one of My and my husband go to songs. Another great song by savage garden. I want you. That’s the first song I heard by them.😀👍❤️✌️🌼
This is so heart-felt!!!
He sounds the same, even better live. Truly an amazing singer.
I heard this song before and didn’t even know the group and actually like this
🤗💕🎶Oh Beautiful song
Another group that is really good live!!!
Darren Hayes is a fabulous songwriter! Take a listen to “Insatiable” - from one of his solo albums.
Love insatiable! The sexiest song ever!
agreed!
Fabulous! Love Savage Garden 💛🌸💛

Watch the video made by Gary Barlow with Darren last year. His voice hasn’t changed a bit and he can sing like that live!
It was amazing his voice is heavenly!!
Yes it was amazing... Insatiable mmmm...
That duet Darren and Gary did was amazing fabulous voices💓
I actually came here after watching that! His voice seems even better two decades later.
I just posted the same thing, ha ha. I hadn't made it far enough down in the comments yet!
I love how you’re so open to so many different songs and kinds of music .. beautiful soul ❤️
"I Want You" was their first big hit and a much more up-tempo catchy song. I remember Rosie O-Donnell going on about it on her show before it was a hit and her promotion made their career I think.
I was just listening to this song because a memory popped up in my head. Good song.
Simply Beautiful ! ! ..beautiful song ..what a voice and what lyrics ..
Peace to you too Jay.

AS for other 90's songs, give Take That a listen. Babe, Pray, Relight my fire, Back for good or Never forget.
That blonde on the train is actually Kirsten Dunst from Spiderman I'm SHOCKED you didn't notice
These guys are awesome. Nice reaction brother, plz more Savage Garden
many years ago i was a construction worker in london and at the close of my shift i got on the train and saw the most beautiful girl ever. i knew i didnt stand a chance; not in the drab garb I was in. so i waited till i reached my stop and on my way out I handed her my ticket. I don't remember the exact words, but it must have been something like. 'Hi, I don't think we'll ever meet again but I want you to know that I think you're the most beautiful girl i've ever seen." Of course I never saw her again
This was a huge love song.
Walter Afanasieff produced this song, he was Mariah Carey's writing partner in the '90s.
Check out Darren's solo material - he has released 5 solo albums post SG. His last album was his absolute best - Bloodstained Heart, Black Out The Sun, Talk Talk Talk and Stupid Mistake were the singles off it. Check him out!!
I agree, Secret Codes and Battleships is my favorite album of his. Bloodstained Heart is epic!
My favorite song from them is called "Gunning Down Romance", it wasn't a single but it is so good.
I love that song! Saw Savage Garden live back in the day and have seen Darren live 4 times...amazing, his voice is just as good live as it is on studio tracks!!
I had forgotten how much I liked this group. Jayvee I really love your channel. First was because I enjoy seeing your reaction to older songs that you had never heard and also bringing back songs I had forgotten about
It was perfectly perfect for the times🌺
I see you’re going though all the 90s hits today.
Truly Madly Deeply is another great Savage Garden song.
Yay! More Aussies!
To the moon and back ,Truly madly diplly, insatiable.....
Oooh the nostalgia with Savage Garden. I would recommend "Starship and Sara" the voice is out of this world.
Savage Garden was one of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE GROUPS!!!! Wait….what do I mean was….THEY STILL ARE!!!!
Savage garden is amazing. “A thousand angels dance around you, I am complete now that I found you” one of my favorite lines from this song.
I totally forgot about that song. A classic
INSATIABLE from his solo album needs to be next! I can listen to it on a loop all day...
This was my wedding song 9years in September.x
Thank you for choosing this one to react to. Its one of my favourites and the song i used at my wedding as the guests were being seated before the ceremony.That was in 2014 and it brings back lots of lovely memories.
Love his higher tone vocals, Gotta love a love ballad...Thanks J, Peace
So glad I went to see Savage Garden live, they were phenomenal...
Affirmation
I want you (cherry cola )
Love everything they released!
I liked that group so much I bought the CD!! Glad to see it being loved on by someone of your stature! 💋💗😘
Love Darren Hayes, play Insatiable, one of my all time favourites.
Beautiful smile young man.
You Can Stiil Be Free is one of my favourite SG songs, written in memory to someone they knew who had passed, it's emotional!!
Ah makes me homesick the NY NYC subway south ferry train!
Yes!! Another great Aussie Band 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
MY FAVORITE FROM THEM!!! 👍🥰👍🥰👍🥰👍🥰👍🥰 So glad u decided to check that one out. 👍👍👍
straight up amazing voice
Darren Hayes voice is just gorgeous 💕
This song inspired me to write "I Knew I Loved You Before I Met You" on the tag of my gift to my, as then, unborn granddaughter Auria. It's such a beautiful song ,love your reaction J
Auria is a beautiful name!
@@csf7773 Thank you, she is almost 3 now
Oh God!! I haven't listen to them for ages!!! That song just bring me back to my teen's time
Love Savage Garden! Check out their song "two beds and a coffee machine" and "I don't know you anymore". Darren Hayes has an incredible voice!
I remember singing this to my O-Town & Nsync posters when I was 15-16🤣🤣... Not sure if anybody knew but Kirsten Dunst was his love interest in the video👍🏻
Straight up this is one of my top 5 Greatest songs of all time.
Savage Garden is sooo underrated!
