THIS HIT HARD | Lyrical ANALYSIS of "Crash And Burn" by SAVAGE GARDEN

[@jessibrown7763]

I have no words to describe how incredibly talented Darren Hayes is. My favorite song on this record!

[@dakotaneon1519]

I'm at a place where Crash and Burn, Truly Madly Deeply, and You Can Still Be Free all three have my heart, as does Darren.

[@cheyenneeagle4815]

Ive been to many a concert but the Darren show I went to, i never felt a more loving, connected and safe space. It also just goes to show how much of genuine true person Darren is. And hearing this song live really just made it mean that much more to me. Nothing like Darren singing it to us and we singing it right back at him. A truly beautiful moment

[@ambremanifold6549]

this song, allows u to see in to his soul, and he is such a great human being.

[@DenaeK]

My favorite song by them! This song has gotten me through my darkest days. ♥️ **Shout-out to Neil Gaiman on the bookshelf. My favorite author. 😀

[@andoncroft5154]

Your BEAUTIFUL ❤️❤️❤️

[@DenaeK]

@@andoncroft5154 Aww, Thank you! 😃

[@littleflick]

I swear I know the lyrics for every song on this album without even realising I did. This has unlocked some memories for sure.

[@symbolism]

A little known fact about Savage Garden is that before they made it big they took a gig at a local show. Between the booking and show date they made it in the industry, No.1 etc. They honored the commitment they had made and played the local show.

[@eleniprovia7667]

Anton, if you watch interviews of Darren, you will definitely see how kind, loving and caring he is. He is a beauty human inside and out. Very humble as well. “Crash and burn” had me in tears the first time I heard it twenty three years ago. It still hits hard now. Darren’s solo work is as good, if not better. I always love to hear your thoughts on songs Anton!

[@hb85338]

Agreed! He’s wonderful!❤❤

[@iggs67]

Darren and Daniel are simply musical geniuses. Music, lyrics, everything is great about Savage Garden.

[@franknovotny948]

The song and video holds a special place for me. it was the first thing I ever looked up on the internet! 13 year old me at a cyber cafe and I felt like the world was at my fingertips and I decided I wanted to see this music video and song because I had watched on TV a few years prior as a little kid on a music tv show and it stuck with me :)

[@NatalieCooper-iy7kd]

This song means a lot to me, it first came out when I was a teenager and me and friend still always say to each other in hard situations even now (I’m 39 now) “ when it’s over you’ll breathe again “ his music has always helped me with mental health struggles my whole life! I felt he knew exactly how I felt when I thought I was the only one when I was young x incredible man

[@K1ll3r84]

I completely agree. I'm 40 now, that hit came out in 99. I was 15

[@esclad]

A really great song, totally underappreciated. I miss Savage Garden

[@annmonaghan4360]

Darren has a beautiful soul and I love this song.

[@berlyn3014]

This is my favorite song by Savage Garden. When I'm going through my down times with my depression this song really hits harder. Thank you for reacting to this.

[@kawishabbasi9459]

Everything , in their 2albums, of Savage Garden is good and nice.

[@guesty1989]

I love what your channel has become, some really feel good songs. Always look forward to hearing what you cover next

[@EricSPizarro]

When I heard this song the first time I didn't really understand much since I was in a store and it took me 15 years to hear it again in YT Music, the song is very inspirational, I think the best of both SG as the group and Hayes himself as a solo.

[@kimmckenna8987]

Darren's song writing was decades ahead of his time. Darren has been very open with his own mental health struggles which very much comes through in his lyrics. These songs were out 20 years before most other artists even started writing about their own mental health in the mainstream making him so much more relatable than other artists at the time. He has such a beautiful soul.

[@N0rseman]

This song is a song i listened to during the darkest and most awful days of my life. i still come back to it to this day. this song is timeless.

[@Shifthappens100]

I'm going to see him next year! Can't wait!

[@carlaspinall7418]

Great savage garden song video and group🎤🎸

[@Anna-bj2un]

This song is a pure light energy, love, support, help and hope. At such time this song can be a cure for many people around the world ❤ and it's necessary having a great soul to write such song as Crash and Burn

[@amandawhittaker3833]

Darren Hayes (has a new album out) and is going on tour celebrating 25th anniversary of Savage Garden album! Don't miss out 🙂

[@hb85338]

I was there! Best concert I have been. Darren poured his heart and soul. I have never seen an artist who sings incredibly good live in concert.

[@fletchy40]

My favourite song about mental health, the older this song gets, the more it rings true.

[@littleflick]

Darren seems to be a GREAT person. He’s a good follow on Twitter. Very caring and kind.

[@Nabhan82]

My favorite song by them, never gets old.

[@jameshickman8336]

LOL. Anton, the word is BALLAD. I watch a lot of Reaction vids, and everyone seems to really struggle to describe "kinda slower", "feelie", "in my emotions", and a lotta other hilarious attempts at describing a song. LOL Guys, they're just called ballads. and.. omg dude you're totally in love with Darren. That's cool.

[@withsapphires]

Savage Garden is amazing but i feel Darren Hayes as a solo artist is even better. Songs like Insatiable, Step Into the Light, and Dublin Sky just really reach into my soul and also showcase his extreme vocal talent.

[@Darnaguen]

This one meant so much to me as a teenager. I can't say it saved my life exactly, not quite that dramatic, but it did offer me a lot of comfort.

[@h0ckeyd]

I saw him live after he started his solo career in the UK and he sounds amazing live. Such a rich, beautiful voice and he really does seem like a lovely fella. I mentioned to him on social media I saw him live and did a marathon in the same town a few years later and his reply was “and so I love you!” What a nice fella and so, so talented.

[@antonczachor]

Aww, that's beautiful :) Ya he seems wonderful, he actually left a comment on my Hold me reaction saying I really got him in that one. I will likely have him on the pod in the future, as I shared here I feel a strong kinship with him and his philosophical musings on life and love.

[@terrykemp1876]

Goosebumps!

[@samirulislam3261]

In this day and age we need this song more then ever

[@AbsintheWaltz]

I was exposed to Savage Garden through this song. It played on Disney Channel wayyyy back in the day and I was hooked. They’ve been my favorite band since then. I really wish they’d put out more music, but I’m happy with what they did make.

[@kawishabbasi9459]

I was exposed to Savage Garden by Savage Garden’ s happy and dreamy song “Moon And Back”.

[@K1ll3r84]

I was a teenager when this album came out and it was one of the most popular then, and I still find myself listening to it now and then

[@godsdaughter_1234]

Awesome song! Love the lyrics!

[@brookerickettson4950]

Favorite SG song and in top ten of all songs! Such an amazing message! Their videos are always pushing the artistic visuals, and that isn’t for everyone, but it works in this video, as the the different “animals” find their own; othets who communicate and act like they do, so a sense of belonging is born- very important to feel inclusive. The full video ends with a Suicide Prevention message and number. Gives an added depth to “when you need to crash and burn you’re not alone!” !

[@marle5526]

This is beautiful song by Savage garden. Everyone needs someone to tell you that everyting will be alright. Sadly not everyone has someone like that. Luckily we have Darren and songs like this one that can bring us a good word❤️❤️❤️

[@stevewhubell3957]

Still play these guys in the car,could listen to these all day.👍

[@joshuaholland6280]

Sign language in song there needs to be more of it. ❤ Darren is fluent in sign .. I didn’t respect this song when I was younger but I hits home some 20 years later

[@JeshuaSquirrel]

This song isn't a believe-in-yourself song. This song is someone reaching out their hand saying, "If you can't believe in yourself, believe in me." I've been on the ledge before, and I asked for help because I couldn't find the courage to step off. So I do my best to be the kind of friend I wish I had then. And I wish I had a friend like that now.

[@Stonn2222]

I really liked Savage Garden when these songs came out. I've not seen this video before and it's excellent! I'm glad I took the time to check it out.

[@hb85338]

He seems to be a great guy, an amazing person. That’s what’s special about Darren. Other than being incredibly talented, anyone can see the good, compassionate, kind heart he has. His eyes definitely show what a great person he is. ❤❤

[@matnar99]

As i told you at the savage garden reaction album at patreon, I looooooveeeeee this song and this band is Roxette vibe❤️👍

[@christianlerbakk]

I love this song so much! My favourite Savage Garden song along with To The Moon and Back! Fun fact about the music video, it's directed by a guy named Yariv Gaber. He also directed The Kids Aren't Alright by The Offspring and Jumper by Third Eye Blind. And the weird part is that all three songs are kinda similar as well. 😎

[@okakababa7]

My uplifting and sleep song when i was teen, such a great song.

[@K1ll3r84]

Two beds and a coffee machine really hits me hard.

[@helenpreisig6617]

What you said about narricism rings true. I’ve been married to this and everything you’ve said I believe I knew. My soon to be x husband has no real friends as I do. It’s hard to live with someone that tells you what they think you want to hear but because it’s ingenuiate you recognize this and unfortunately our eldest child has in her own words called him a manipulator - I still tried to protect him and my daughter particularly by saying your father loves you without trying to disrespect her opinion - it is a very difficult situation to be in. The realization at the end of the day that I know he is a narcissist which realistically means he has no care (including his children) for anyone but himself. It is very hard to realistically communicate on mature emotional level with someone who behaves like this. It’s sad - 24 years to keep the family unit together to protect them and have a happy upbringing - i in turn have lost a great deal and 24 years of my life. I really believe I’m the idiot in the room.

[@lorireynolds3540]

Darren is an amazing singer and songwriter.

[@kevcall]

They were do consistently good.. Must admit never listened to any albums but all their songs I've heard are great

[@zacks1690]

Anton, Darren is touring North America in April 2023 a show in Toronto, New York NY and another in Los Angeles if you want to see his Savage Garden and solo hits tour?? It's on his twitter. ❤️

[@kyleboester4005]

After listening to the chorus of this song, it sounds like they're saying they are trying to be there or save someone. They're wanting to be that someone's guardian angel. I don't know about anyone else, but I do believe in angels. I had a guardian angel with me on my worst and darkest night I ever went through a couple years ago. But my guardian angel was my dad. I believe he was there with me in spirit that night. I believe he saved me. What I'm trying to say is if I can be saved, you can be saved too. We all can be saved, but it only depends if you can believe. That's all there is to it.

[@godsdaughter_1234]

[@KaiserSoze679]

Re the "this was written by a ghost writer" and "someone's gonna say Darren didn't even write this" - i don't think that really matters really. If you can genuinely connect with a lyric, you can sing it with emotion that will resonate (one of my favorite examples is Chris Cornell's cover of "Billie Jean"), and some people CAN write their own lyrics and still sing them flatly and without any real genuine feeling. ....but yeah, Darren and Daniel are credited as the writers on the song. XD

Daniel Jones? Talent? So that Darren can interact with it? Hmmm? Not really.... this is how.. Darren wrote the words/ the poetry and the refrain/ chorus .. and the main Savage Garden tunes… Daniel and band filled in with chords around the framework of Darren’s..work..vocal tune notes.. That’s why when he sings.. it is from his heart…🎶🎵🌹

[@antonczachor]

Do you for a fact that Daniel isn't one of the main instrumental songwriters? Please send me a article that states this, thank you.

[@SuperTruetunes]

@@antonczachorAs Darren said says it , Daniel may have had a few chords he played to Darren at first in a whatta about this..but Darren hearing these two to four chords afterwards, went and did the song’s whole melody, and the words, fleshed it out into a whole song, with the framework, brought it back to the band, and the band then filled in. ..it was Darren who stayed in the studio and put the pieces of the song together with the producer. Daniel went home with the rest of the band after his section of instrumental was finished. Ask Darren. This is info he imparted via His social media in the last year… to questions asked about Savage Garden

[@antonczachor]

@@SuperTruetunes That's fair then, I hear you

[@elkhairina]

​@@antonczachorI wouldn't take out Daniel's credit that made Savage Garden music's amazing as a whole. The brilliant guitar riffs and synthesizer sounds that surprisingly come, go, and left you in awe, perfectly blended, that made their music sounds rich, they were Daniel's touch. When SG broke up, their masterful instruments have gone with him. I believe you got it when comparing SG works with Darren's. Darren has ability to create something melodious and touchy (undoubtedly a very sensitive guy) , yet Daniel alternate to make it sounds "cool". Together they make things perfect although having different touches. How's different? For instance, Darren's most favorite is Don't Know You Anymore while Daniel's is To the Moon and Back.
