Savage Garden

[Benji]

This thread was made to commemorate what soppy bastards Savage Garden make all men and how they are perhaps the only band who manages to be outright awesome and romantic at once.

Not me though, I'm manly

[Tarheels.]

True story, yesterday in the car with my friend she put on Savage Garden.

I quite enjoyed it

[DFF]

Savage Garden = Perfectly Acceptable Music

[Guest muddatrucker]

Although very very gay.

[Benji]

Although very very gay.

Oh, totally.

I mean have you seen the two guys behind it?

[Dr. Rated-R]

I'll never forget my first XM radio experience.

"Truly Madly Deeply" was playing on three stations. Three stations.

It was bad ass.

Me and Liam are the true EWB Savage Garden crew.

I just remember that Darren bloke going solo after them, and his whole gimmick was just

"Darren blah blah, 'The Voice Of Savage Garden'"

Everytime he was ever advertised it was followed by 'The Voice Of Savage Garden'.

I mean, they never did that kinda thing with George Michael or anyone, "George Michael, 'The Voice Of Wham!'".

[Tarheels.]

Thats because Wham is nowhere near the awesomeness of Savage Garden.

No, that's because they always pushed him as "the straight one from Wham!"

Good work, Madison Avenue.

His name was Darren Jones by the way.

Not that I'd know that.

Or that I bought his album

*runs away*

You didn't know that, you've saved face. Well done.

It was Darren Hayes.

[Chasing Lamely]

Oh, yeah. The other guy was Darren Jones. Or something. One of them was somethign Jones

[Chasing Lamely]

Meh. Like it matters. Both work in McDonald's these days anyway.

[King Ellis]

Well it'll help Darren pay the expenses for his new album.

Incidentally, if someone can help me obtain Darren's 2 solo albums then feel free to contact me in some way. (Y)

True Story: I once shook Darren Hayes' Hand.

I'm so Cool.

I must respectfully disagree. My fiance wanted to listen to some Christmas music last month, so I put "Last Christmas" on a continuous loop, just to be a dick. I was one repeat away from being homeless. That didn't do much for my point, did it?

As for Savage Garden, I got a bit sick of Truly Madly Deeply. To the Moon and Back, though...that song is true class.

Well, now I know I'm not the only one here. Sweet.

[King Ellis]

I'll join the Moon love. Mainly because I love the lyrics:

She's saying, "Love is like a barren place,

And reaching out for human faith

Is like a journey I just don't have a map for"

Ellis knows, Ellis knows. Thier debut was the first album I ever bought, and I have both Darren Hayes' solo albums.

Meh. Like it matters. Both work in McDonald's these days anyway.

The second CD has copy protection on it, otherwise I'd do it for you. My first one got scratched up and skips a lot, so not worth it. Sorry.

Yeah, and To The Moon And Back is excellent, though I think it possibly isn't my favourite by them.

Huge fan, myself. Particularly loved their first album, but the second one had some terrific tracks on it as well. Was so pissed off when they broke up, especially given the utter shite Hayes has dished up in his solo career. It's clear who was the talent in the group, and who had the voice to carry it across.

[Liam]

I dunno, his second album was a bit more "serious" and "grown up" and had some good stuff on it.

His first album had a bit of shit on it, but was ok in my eyes.
