[@SweetThing]

An Australian pop duo consisting of Darren Hayes on vocals and Daniel Jones on instruments. Formed in Brisbane, Queensland, in 1993, the duo achieved international success in the mid 1990s and early 2000s with the No. 1 hit singles "I Want You", "To the Moon and Back", "Truly Madly Deeply", "The Animal Song" and "I Knew I Loved You". The band's two studio albums, Savage Garden and Affirmation, reached No. 1 in Australia and peaked in the top ten in both the United Kingdom and United States. These albums sold 23 million copies worldwide.

The group won a record number of ten ARIA Music Awards in 1997 for their debut album and its related singles. They disbanded in the end of 2001, and Hayes continued as a solo artist.

[@Shrykespeare]

Great 90s tune. Savage Garden made a huge splash between 1995 and 2000 before the duo (vocalist Darren Hayes and instrumentalist Daniel Jones) parted company in 2001. They had two #1 hits - this and "I Knew I Loved You". "I Want You" is a banger (and much faster-paced than this one). Others to check out are "To the Moon and Back", "Crash and Burn", and "The Animal Song".

Torn!!! OMG, great song!!! Yes!

'Truly, Madly Deeply' is a quirky, popular, but obscure British movie. I loved it! A musician's, musician boyfriend tragically dies, and she just can't get over her grief, so he comes back to her as a ghost, and then she loses her sentimentality for his memory. She is eventually able to get on with living.

Savage Garden was popular when my kids were little. They had a hit song called "I Want You" that was playing on the radio like crazy. In it he sings very fast and one line he sings "like you're drinking cherry cola". My kids misheard it and would keep asking me to play the "Chikka Cherry Cola song". ha ha They had a number of favorite songs at that age and they knew none of them by their real name. I ended up having to make a CD for them with THEIR names for the songs so when they went to their grandparents house grandma could play their songs since she didn't know what the "Chikka Cherry Cola" song was... Another one they liked was the "Boom Boom Bop" song... which was Queen's "We Will Rock You". :D

[@slimlouis6441]

The lyric actually is “Chica Cherry Cola”. Your kids were right. The title is/was I Want You but is often unofficially referred to as I Want You (chica cherry cola) or I Want You (cherry cola).

[@RealTalkWithJP]

I believe “chic-a-cherry cola” is the correct lyrics. At least according to Google and several sites haha.

[@lisawhiffin2756]

Just checked the lyrics in my savage garden CD booklet, and it says 'chic-a-cherry cola'.... no idea what it means, but rolls off the tongue great when singing along to the song.

This group was formed in the same city the Bee Gee's formed in! These guys came out at a time when most Australian music was hard indie rock - (in fact most Aussie pop singers would go to London) so they copped a lot of flack for being so soft and poppy.... I knew the singer a little before he was famous and he was working in a record shop.

When I was 19 back in the year 2000, my gf at the time won tickets to see them live. I bitched and moaned as she dragged me because I was into skate punk and hip hop only.

I went to a medical magnet high school (wore scrubs daily and spent half my day volunteering in a multitude of hospitals around the city). Our program director and lead instructor made a video yearbook in May of every year and starting in 1997 (the song came out in March of that year), he dubbed this song over the video every year until his passing. My face is all over 4 years worth of video with this song playing (1997-2001). It's not my particular choice of music, but when I hear it, it reminds me of the greatest teacher & mentor I've ever known. He was the father figure I never had and I'm forever grateful for the impact he had on my life.

"A really sincere and special and emotional song. There was something really emotional about the combination of this very naive intention and a very deep feeling, which was how I felt when I was living in a one-bedroom apartment in Kings Cross, with Daniel Jones, making this album. We were incredibly poor-I remember we used to save money by sleeping in late. Often the recording sessions wouldn’t start until 2 or 3 in the afternoon, so we would always skip breakfast and get lunch and then maybe something cheap from the grocery store for dinner. But I would sleep a lot of the weekend away just to save money. I’d only just gotten married and I was away from my wife. I was a 22-, 23-year-old baby in this new marriage; I’d never lived outside of my own city before and was genuinely just lost and sad. I wrote that song for her, about my wife and how much I missed her." - Darren Hayes via Apple Music

[@justmecarter1717]

This song has so much meaning to me. I met a man on-line, when my marriage was falling apart....my husband had become quite abusive by that time, and i knew I had to get my kids away, but, it was so complicated. and I would have been broke, needing a full-time job, my kids fending for themselves after always having me there, and even homeschooling them, etc. I was terrified. Robert and I became friends over the course of three years (I am a very cautious person when it comes to trusting people. I talked with his kids, and even his ex, before I agreed to meet him, since we lived in different states.) I lived near an ocean, and he lived near hills and mountains. This became our song...our first dance, once we met. Unfortunately, he died of cancer, 4 years after my ex passed away, and 6 years after we had met. I bought at least three of Savage Garden's CDs, as I kept wearing them out, lol. But, he gave me hope in dark and scary times. He loved my girls, as he loved his own. He encouraged me to heights I never dreamed I could achieve. I miss him to this day...13 years later. I've never met anyone like him, and will never feel that kind of love again. This was "Our Song". They did another song, which I cannot find at this time, but it had the lyrics of , "But on the telephone line I am anything, I wanna be...I can be a Norman Mailer or Space Invader, and you wouldn't know. now would you? I can be supermodel or -----?" It made me so suspicious of anyone I meet on-line, you know? I forget the name of the song, but, well, it has be a couple of decades, lol. Anyone???

She was saying the long goodbye to her son Andrew and husband Steve as her final weeks unfolded. How much would one want to lay down forever by the side of one's son? "Until the Sky falls down onto me."? Different lyrical interpretation of course, but shows how music can be so multi-purposeful. Very sad right now. But thanks for playing/reacting to it.

Savage Garden was so popular all over the world when they were around. Released two amazing albums, and then creative differences broke them up and it was all over just like that. “Affirmations” and “I Knew I Loved You” by Savage Garden are great too. And just because of the nostalgia and because I don’t see other reactors do this one- “2AM (Breathe)” by Anna Nalick is one of the best written songs of the century. And it’s so vastly underrated.

This is what you search for, what you pray you’ll find, and that this is reciprocated….as humans this is why we have love sonnets, love songs, poetry and most of all hope💖

If y'all want more savage garden check out I knew I loved you and crash and burn. The meaning behind the lyrics of crash and burn is just amazing. Almost 20 years old and the lyrics still ring true today. I knew I loved you is a soft love song like truly madly deeply.

[@karenvelasquez8436]

I love Savage Garden. You have to check out their faster paced songs "I Want You", "A Thousand Words" or "Tears of Pearls"

[@GiaSesshoumaru]

You've just scratched the surface of Savage Garden! in addition to the other songs already recommended in other comments, i also suggest, "Break Me, Shake Me", "Violet", "Carry on Dancing" and "Affirmation". There's just so many good songs of theirs!

[@nim4464]

i cannot express how much i love savage garden lmaoo

[@exaraki]

That whole album was great. "To the moon and back" speaks to my teenage soul

[@martymclean3763]

You’ve been on such an Aussie kick lately, love it! This is their biggest international hit but their two albums are back-to-back hits.

[@ravenslight2549]

This is mine and my husband's song. I absolutely love savage garden. They split up later and the lead singer Darren hayes went solo. I love his music as well

[@killinglonliness88]

OMG YESSSSSS!! Savage Garden was my favorite group growing up! They have two albums and every song was a hit!! I swear listen to all of them but especially 'I Want You', 'To The Moon And Back', 'Break Me Shake Me', 'Crash And Burn', 'I Knew I Loved You', and if you want to hear more of Darren's amazing falsetto, listen to "You Can Still Be Free". Do all album versions first, then live versions if you plan to do live, and Darren Hayes solo music has a shit ton of amazing songs too! 'So Beautiful' is one of my favorites, 'Insatiable' as well!

[@ronnix23]

Hey Jay, I'll put Frankie Valli's falsetto in the song "Sherry" up against any song you choose from the Bee Gees. Let's have a falsetto off. What do you say?

[@OhLeandra]

I’ll raise you one BeeGee & a Valley. I’ve got David Lindley/Jackson Browne “Stay”.

[@ronnix23]

@@OhLeandra That's a nice one. I thought about going with Leo Sayer and "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing," but I'll stick with Valli.

Donna from 10cc?

You need to show some love for Robin Gibbs voice! Listen to bee gees For Whom the Bell Tolls. Barry’s voice is incredible but Robins voice can bring tears to my eyes

[@TooSkinnyKenny]

Very unique sound, “I Want You” is my favorite Savage Garden song.

[@scottvanhille5688]

Ahhh yes Savage Garden from the late 90's. Interesting that Kirsten Dunst was in one of their videos. "I Knew I Loved You" is another one of their best hits. Btw, Jordan "Larger Than Life" is my favorite BSB song. "Jumper" by Third Eye Blind is a good one too.

[@JustaGuy2.0]

You need to react to "Hunting High and Low" by A-ha. Everyone reacts to "Take On Me", their most famous song (which is amazing), but this one is also great and the violins and cellos...you will love it.

[@deonneparrish9850]

I love this group and this song. It is on my playlist. I Knew I Loved You is another favorite of theirs.

[@wendycole4301]

it's the most romantic song ever written

[@mozzetti1]

I was just listening to Savage Garden’s song,I Knew I Loved You, yesterday. I thought of it while listening to the Steve Perry (Journey) interview. He was talking about his last love (she passed away 😔). He said when he met her it was like he already loved her before he met her. I immediately thought of the Savage Garden song.

[@hibhibb5429]

"Two beds and a coffee machine", "Affirmation", and "I want you" are ones to check out by Savage Garden. Although they have a huge catalog of Awesome songs that y'all should check out!!

[@jackie_jrml]

Oooh soooo stunning and smooth. His voice is unreal. Beautiful song! 👌🏼

[@Angiedsnails]

I adore Savage Garden ❤ You should listen to Affirmation The two of you are just adorable! Such a cute couple! 😍

[@beedeegee9374]

I’ve always loved this song and had to look it up to remember when it was released. It shocked me that it debuted in 1997. Geez, I’m getting too old!
