Thanks for watching my interview with Darren Hayes! What are your favourite songs and albums from his solo career and Savage Garden? Have you ever seen him perform live? Who are your favourite stand up comedians? What's your fave Star Wars movie?
Unfortunately I have never seen him perform live 🥺 yet! 😁 My favorite song of all times is Dublin Sky and I have a tattoo with Roses' lyrics ❤ Live in the moment or wish your life away ❤ Darren is my favorite singer ever, since Savage Garden. Ever! Love him! 🥰🥰🥰
Lovely Darren! Most underrated vocalist ever... one of the most beautiful voices in popular music. He is almost 50 but looks so good! We love you Darren and need more music from you!
Daren Hayes was my world when I was a teenager his music was the only thing in my life the only place I could go to, to escape my toxic home and people. And also I learned English with his music. Thank you Darren for being you and an inspiration for so many
Darren seems like such a sweet, kind person. I think, if I ever had a chance to have lunch with any celebrity, I would pick him. He just seems so freaking nice and down to earth. Already loved the man for his amazing voice and as a songwriter, but watching this interview made me like him even more than I already did. Thank you for posting this for us to see.
I love Savage Garden..even loved the fact their name came from an Anne Rice novel...huge fan of hers. But when he released The Tension and The Spark I shook my head with disbelief...how could someone Ive never met write these songs that parallel my life. Any way...lol...love Darren...before and after the group. Truly an amazing song writer, singer, artist. Much love to you both! P.S. Darren...the lyrics...the poetry of your songs create an indelible bond with the people they touch...speak to. Once youve touched people in that meaningful way they carry you in their(our) hearts.
I'd listen to him talking every day for two hours, can I? :D thank you Sarah It's almost 20 years that I'm waiting for such an interview that Darren really talks about himself ❤️
What a special conversation! Been a huge fan of SG and DH since the late 90s, but this is the first time for me seeing him getting so personal and so deep on life experience and philosophy. He had completely changed my views on homosexuality. It’s been an incredibly enlightening and joyful 2.5 hrs. “You can still be free” and “I just want you to love me” are my favorite. THIS WORLD NEEDS MUSIC FROM HIM ♥️
One of the best singers in the world. Even demos like "Alive" and "Big Love" are perfection. A true artist doesn't need a chart position but rather a positive contribution in the universe. Darren has done that.
I have loved him growing up since savage garden started and through his solo career. Even my daughter now and I sing along to his songs n the car still. He is an amazing singer and an amazingly kind, honest and genuine human being 🥰. He needs to tour over here in the UK that would be phenomenal 🎉
Wow what a great interview, Darren is so humble. He had great music: Spin, Tension in the Spark, Secret Codes and Battleships. These albums had beautiful songs and so meaningful.
What a special conversation. I am just sad it took me so long to find it! Hayes has always been one of my absolute favorites, but I have never gotten to see him live. Fingers crossed he tours the US again someday.
Darren Hayes is one of my fav voices from growing up, absolute talent. One of the songs from his career I cannot stop listening to and to this day still love more so now than then is You Can Still Be Free from the Affirmation album. Savage Garden were one of my fav bands, never got to see them live though. Really enjoyed hearing him talk about his life so honestly and just saw the love of music from him. Amazing talent.
What a generous interview. It is fabulous spending time with Darren Hayes for a few hours; he is so open about his past, struggles, and artistic process. Thank you so much!
What a brilliant show, I really enjoyed this so thank you! I absolutely adore Darren Hayes, he is such a talented, honest, gentle, decent man. The fact that he is externally very beautiful is just the icing on an already fabulous cake. I will never be lucky enough to meet him, which is fortuitous for him because I would be a gibbering idiot and pee my pants. Darren can thank the universe that he will never have to suffer that. Anyway, there was a hint that he may return to performing live music which would be wonderful. I'll be at the front of the queue for tickets. Great show Sarah, you really know your stuff and allow your guests to relax and open up. And just to end with some fangirling, love you Darren - always have, always will!
Fascinating interview, Sarah. I enjoyed learning more about Darren's personal background. His office is beautiful. I love the E.T. and Michael Jackson Thriller figurines.
Love watching this, I love hearing how artists started out and Darren has been a life long inspiration to me and my wife. I actually have the words to “I knew I loved you before I met you” tattooed on the inside of my arm with my wife’s signature at the end. I miss his music so much.
Darren is my Hero. I’ve recently gotten interested in him, despite listening to Savage Garden and hearing songs by him when I was a kid. He stops me from hurting myself these days. I struggle with self injury. I struggle with gender issues. He makes my gender issues go away. I’m a Gay Transgender Male… I felt this way since before I was 19 years old back in 2013 in March. I’m am thankful for Darren. He even gives me butterflies inside my stomach. 🦋 Thank-you, so much for posting this interview. Very insightful, I got to find out various things.
Darren!! Always so eloquent!! Love to listen to him and all his stories. What a beautiful human being inside and outside. Darren if you ever read this, you look fantastic!!! Greetings from México.
2 and half hours of fun and information! I've spent most of this Saturday Morning watching it! Go for it! Thank you Sarah and thank you Darren Hayes (Happy Birthday to you anyway)!
Absolutely love it!!! ❤❤❤ Been a fan of Darren for over 20 years and I listen to his songs every single day of my life since then! Thank you, Sarah, for this wonderful chat! Thank you, Darren, for being a gorgeous soul! Lots of love from Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷❤❤❤
Could easily have watched another 2hrs, 30mins of these star crossed soul mates finally passing each other, but also them recognising the intangible likeness that was still palpably vibing between the 2 of them, it was so beautiful to watch.
Darren would make such a good stand up comic. He’s always been so funny - He must have and clearly does have so many amazing stories to tell!! Thank you for this interview sarah! So wonderful to hear from Darren and him open up so much! From a big SG and Darren fan since 1997! 🥰
An enjoyable interview with Darren. Learned so much about him that is quite interesting. He is such a nice person and I love his music so…..he sings with so much emotion. I have so many favorites, but at the moment it would be “Sing to Me”. Thank you for doing this interview….I liked your questions,
Thank you for doing this interview. I loved every minute of it. Darren Hayes has been one of my favorite vocalists since Savage Garden. I followed his solo career as well. I am so sad I was never able to make it to a live show, but I still have all of his CDs and listen to his music often. Some of my favorites are "Roses", "I Just Want You To Love Me" and "Crash and Burn". So much of his music has helped me through a lot in my life and I will forever be a fan of his work. He seems like such a gem to talk to.
I so appreciate you sharing this much of yourself with fans, Darren. I’ve had your songs on rotation from the first SG album when I was still a teen, all the way through your (comparatively) recent releases, all of them regulars blasting from the speakers in my home and car. You’re one of the few artists I know of whose solo albums all topped the previous ones and had me shouting, “No, THIS is his best ever!” The tracks from This Delicate Thing and Secret Codes get the most play at my house, but as I’m typing this, I have Affirmation on. Seeing the “dodgy Australian version” music video for I Want You was the most hilariously 90s thing I’ve seen in ages! Absolutely fantastic to see it for the first time in 2021. I hope we’ll hear more music from you sometime soon, and of course I hope someone produces your musical so we can all enjoy it!
Savage garden were the first band I truly fell in love with. I just searched this because I was laying in bed listening to them. Gunning down romance is to this day still one of my all time favourite songs ever.
Love watching this. Darren is such a beautiful, kind and caring soul. I've been a huge fan every since my friend in Australia sent me his music. Love you Darren, always. Great show Sarah, keep up the good work.
What an interview! Thank you both very much! Darren is amazing, as a person, not mention his singing part. I swear if I would meet him I'd loose my mind and ability to speak. It's so good realize that he is exactly the same as I imagined him. Wonderful singer, wonderful person. Good luck both of you.
It's great to see him again. Thank you. Favourite song from Savage Garden "Affirmation", favourite songs from Darren : "Darkness" and "Who Would Have Thought". I saw Savage Garden live in the 90's. I loved his music so much, I was a little bit sad when he became a stand up comedian just because it's a huge loss for pop music. He's one of the greatest voices if not the greatest voice out there. It brings me chills everytime I hear him sing. I hope he will produce music again 'cos his 3 last albums were all masterpieces.
Excellent interview. Having struggled with mental health issues throughout my life, Darren's magical words and voice have taken me out of dark, crushing, hopeless, empty places on countless occasions. I'm not only blown away by his incredible talent, but I'm also grateful to him for sharing it. It's mainly because of him that I understand music's power to heal an aching soul. May you both enjoy the holiday season and stay safe.
OMG, so great to see Darren, I am at this very moment listening to THIS DELICATE THING WE'VE MADE😍. God bless you and hope hope hope to see you perform one day🌹
Nice interview, was great to have a good insight and intimate chat with Darren, totally relatable and sincere, and definitely no playlist is complete without savage garden or Darren Hayes tracks
What?? Darren is struggling with the body image issues?? But he is the perfect, most handsome men on n Earth!! Was a huge fan of Savage garden during my high school times, but didn't really follow his solo career. I am closing the gaps now, it's like I just discovered his solo albums & for me it's new. Love it so much!!
Thanks for watching Louis! I just recorded a brand-new 2nd interview tonight with Darren that I’ll be posting in the coming days. Be sure to subscribe!
@@SarahOConnellShow that's wild! What a funny coincidence! I can't wait... there's something so nice about the sound of his voice even when he talks... and his music has always been special to me since i was a young kid of 10!!!
@@SarahOConnellShow crash and burn really hits me hard every time i hear it, i just love the power of that song, because of HIS voice... and being a singer myself, I would always try to match his style... and I love Two Beds and a Coffee machine :) i am a big Darren Hayes fanboy!! 😊😊💚🧡🙃😁🤩
Thank you for this video. I have been a fan of DH since I was a kid and SG was actually my first concert ever. With all the stressors and the panoramic of 2020, I have revisited the first SG album. The music has been a light in these dark times. Listening to this album as an adult, the lyrics have resonated with me on a more deeper level. I would love to have Darren tour once things get better
You think Darren will ever tour again? Never got a chance to see his solo live. But thank god I saw Savage Garden live when I was 14. One of the most amazing concerts I have ever seen
Another Wonderful DH interview by Sarah....so Amazing to have this now i Love all the solo stuff especially & I hate how underrated those 10 solo years were. My top 6 DH/SG Albums: 1 TATTS 2 SCABS 3 TDTWM 4 AFRMTN 5 SPIN 6 SG
I enjoyed this interview so much!!! I love Darren as a person, and as an artist. He’s a such a beautiful human being. I’ve been a big fan since the 90’s. I also had the privileged of seeing him perform live at Radio City in New York City. I believe the year was 2000. Some of my favorite favorite songs are I knew I loved You, I Want You, To the Moon and Back ,Animals, I miss you
Iv seen darren perform live twice in dublin(Ireland).For me still the best vocalist iv ever heard live and I go to a lot of shows.Been a fan since the beginning and my favourite songs are "affirmation" and "bloodstained heart" and if I'm picking a slow song "2 beds and a coffee machine" is a masterpiece.hopefully the hinting towards the end means possibility of future album/shows.
Thank you!! I live Savage Garden and Darren!! Thank you so much for the ‘Tears of Pearls’!!! Now I’m gonna spend the evening finding his solo material!
Hi Sarah, what I like about you as an interviewer is that you give the Artist a chance to speak without interrupting. I don't post comments very often and I mean that but this was a great interview. When Darren spoke about his father and the Artists he was inspired by, it Truly, Madly, Deeply hit home with me because I had the same experiences with my father and I also loved MJ the great Micheal Jackson and to this day I'm still made fun of because I loved and still love MJ. I could not believe how much in common we had :) All in All, keep up the great work you do. I will make sure to subscribe : )
What a fantastic interview - thank you for sharing, Sarah! I adore Darren - have been a fan since I first heard I Want You in '96 - and it was so great hearing him chat so freely and in depth about so much.
Thankyou Sarah and Darren Loved this interview and if Darren reads this Crash and Burn was a song I played when I had clinical Depression. When you feel all alone and the world has turned its back on you. Monsters in your head. Thankyou and glad you both happy xx
Thank you for watching Carol. Crash and Burn is a beautiful song, and I’m so pleased to hear it helped you through a difficult time. Take care, and be sure to subscribe!
I watched the long interview because I am a big fan of Darren Hayes & Savage Garden. Darren has a beautiful soul. He is talented & intelligent. I admire his honesty & openness, & although I am not gay & I am a Muslim, my admiration & respect to him have never changed. To Darren: do what u want to do and what u believe. U are exceptional.
Thanks for this very insightful interview/conversation with one of my favorite singer/composer ever. I miss a him a lot and I hope this interview gives him the big push he needs to come back to the spotlight where he belongs.
dude... i'd love to be one of this man's best friends, holy shit he's so much fun to talk to. i'd heard he was down to earth and could tell he's just a genuinely warm and caring person, but what a beautiful soul! some of the lovely comments he made.... i've never felt so loved by a complete stranger before?? i cried. anyway, thanks to the both of you for this. sarah this is the first ep of yours i've watched, so forgive me if you already have: but please, PLEASE have this wonderful man back again if you haven't already. (or you know, even if you have!)
@@livvydunham I’m delighted to hear you enjoyed my interview with Darren! As it happens, I did have him back on my show for another interview: ruclips.net/video/8VtWDsR6X4M/видео.htmlsi=jRKWqv3KduB8D5Mh If you haven’t already, be sure to subscribe!
I love darren hayes. I had no idea he was gay all this time, my hubby did and he was shocked that I had no clue. We both adore his music and we listen to his version of last Christmas every year with our kids as we decorate the Christmas tree, so he is part of our Christmas tradition. This interview was wonderful and he's a lovely person🥰
This is such an amazing interview. Darren Hayes as always is a beautiful human being and simply just listening to him talk spreads positivity everywhere. And the way Sarah O' Connell takes an interview is so peaceful. She is calmly listening to Darren Hayes and smoothly talking and asking her questions. I think a lot of interviewers should learn from her. Again great interview.
Darren Hayes....@49:07 "it's that fear of not being loveable" oh trust me, I love you, I love your person, everything about you, your voice is such a gift to the world, not to mention you are some kind of sexy at 49. I've been a fan since the beginning of your career. Love your music.
@@SarahOConnellShow I did, he was so real I forgot! I am subscribed. He is so sweet and pure honesty-his situation happened to me way back when I was 21.....I am now 55....Darren's story hits home.
Remember being in Grade 5 (1997) as a kid from Toowoomba visiting my aunt in Brisbane, going to RCA (?) in the city and buying the self titled Savage Garden album. A touchstone for my whole life. Thanks Darren 💫
What a wonderful interview.. Big thanks to Sarah. You have a great technique💜 Love, Love Darren Hayes. I still sing with gusto unlovable. Neverland live on TM Tour is Beautifully done. Great video. Thank You. Lisa from Blighty 💖

Nice interview, was great to have a good insight and intimate chat with Darren, totally relatable and sincere, and definitely no playlist is complete without savage garden or Darren Hayes tracks

What?? Darren is struggling with the body image issues?? But he is the perfect, most handsome men on n Earth!! Was a huge fan of Savage garden during my high school times, but didn't really follow his solo career. I am closing the gaps now, it's like I just discovered his solo albums & for me it's new. Love it so much!!
I love him, amazing voice and great energy... So funny, too
Thanks for watching Louis! I just recorded a brand-new 2nd interview tonight with Darren that I’ll be posting in the coming days. Be sure to subscribe!
@@SarahOConnellShow that's wild! What a funny coincidence! I can't wait... there's something so nice about the sound of his voice even when he talks... and his music has always been special to me since i was a young kid of 10!!!
@@louisgrassimedium What are your favourite songs?
@@SarahOConnellShow crash and burn really hits me hard every time i hear it, i just love the power of that song, because of HIS voice... and being a singer myself, I would always try to match his style... and I love Two Beds and a Coffee machine :) i am a big Darren Hayes fanboy!! 😊😊💚🧡🙃😁🤩
@@louisgrassimedium I love those songs! I was listening to Secret Codes and Battleships on repeat yesterday

Darren Hayes ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for this video. I have been a fan of DH since I was a kid and SG was actually my first concert ever. With all the stressors and the panoramic of 2020, I have revisited the first SG album. The music has been a light in these dark times. Listening to this album as an adult, the lyrics have resonated with me on a more deeper level. I would love to have Darren tour once things get better

You think Darren will ever tour again? Never got a chance to see his solo live. But thank god I saw Savage Garden live when I was 14. One of the most amazing concerts I have ever seen

I enjoyed this interview so much!!! I love Darren as a person, and as an artist. He’s a such a beautiful human being. I’ve been a big fan since the 90’s. I also had the privileged of seeing him perform live at Radio City in New York City. I believe the year was 2000. Some of my favorite favorite songs are I knew I loved You, I Want You, To the Moon and Back ,Animals, I miss you
Thanks so much for watching Clarita! I bet the NYC show was amazing! Be sure to subscribe!

@@claritafernandez86 Fantastic! Hopefully you’ll get to see him perform live again some day
@@SarahOConnellShow I hope so too🙏🏼
Iv seen darren perform live twice in dublin(Ireland).For me still the best vocalist iv ever heard live and I go to a lot of shows.Been a fan since the beginning and my favourite songs are "affirmation" and "bloodstained heart" and if I'm picking a slow song "2 beds and a coffee machine" is a masterpiece.hopefully the hinting towards the end means possibility of future album/shows.
Thanks for watching. I love those songs too! Be sure to subscribe!
You re so lucky I have to say, I've been waiting in Dublin for a live perform for ages.. 🥺
Darren is an Icon and Sarah is an amazing interviewer..
Thank you Andy!
The best forever 💜 Darren Hayes

Darren is a kind soul and a great singer. Keep on keeping on : )

Hi Sarah, what I like about you as an interviewer is that you give the Artist a chance to speak without interrupting. I don't post comments very often and I mean that but this was a great interview. When Darren spoke about his father and the Artists he was inspired by, it Truly, Madly, Deeply hit home with me because I had the same experiences with my father and I also loved MJ the great Micheal Jackson and to this day I'm still made fun of because I loved and still love MJ. I could not believe how much in common we had :) All in All, keep up the great work you do. I will make sure to subscribe : )
@@truthisinfinite Thanks George, that’s very much appreciated! Have a lovely weekend
I saw MJ in 1984 for the Victory Tour in Canada. Surreal and wonderful time in my life. 🥰
That was my first concert! Pontiac Silverdome.

Thankyou Sarah and Darren Loved this interview and if Darren reads this Crash and Burn was a song I played when I had clinical Depression. When you feel all alone and the world has turned its back on you. Monsters in your head. Thankyou and glad you both happy xx

I watched the long interview because I am a big fan of Darren Hayes & Savage Garden. Darren has a beautiful soul. He is talented & intelligent. I admire his honesty & openness, & although I am not gay & I am a Muslim, my admiration & respect to him have never changed. To Darren: do what u want to do and what u believe. U are exceptional.

dude... i'd love to be one of this man's best friends, holy shit he's so much fun to talk to. i'd heard he was down to earth and could tell he's just a genuinely warm and caring person, but what a beautiful soul! some of the lovely comments he made.... i've never felt so loved by a complete stranger before?? i cried.
anyway, thanks to the both of you for this. sarah this is the first ep of yours i've watched, so forgive me if you already have: but please, PLEASE have this wonderful man back again if you haven't already. (or you know, even if you have!)

I love darren hayes. I had no idea he was gay all this time, my hubby did and he was shocked that I had no clue. We both adore his music and we listen to his version of last Christmas every year with our kids as we decorate the Christmas tree, so he is part of our Christmas tradition. This interview was wonderful and he's a lovely person🥰
It’s great that he’s part of your Christmas tradition! Thanks for watching, be sure to subscribe!
This is such an amazing interview. Darren Hayes as always is a beautiful human being and simply just listening to him talk spreads positivity everywhere. And the way Sarah O' Connell takes an interview is so peaceful. She is calmly listening to Darren Hayes and smoothly talking and asking her questions. I think a lot of interviewers should learn from her. Again great interview.

Darren Hayes....@49:07 "it's that fear of not being loveable" oh trust me, I love you, I love your person, everything about you, your voice is such a gift to the world, not to mention you are some kind of sexy at 49. I've been a fan since the beginning of your career. Love your music.
