Brief introduction of savage garden information

Savage Garden is a two-person group. The band consists of lead singer Darren and guitarist and keyboard player Daniel. Two young people from Brisbane, Australia 1993 came together. At first, Daniel's original band lacked a lead singer, so he posted a job advertisement in a nearby pub. This advertisement attracted Darren, who participated in the interview with more than 20 applicants. He was the last one to appear. Maybe he was too nervous. His voice was hoarse and out of tune when he sang. But Daniel just took a fancy to him and thought he was the one he was looking for. Darren joined Daniel's band and began to sing other people's songs. In their relationship, the two became more and more speculative, especially in music, and they always found the same feeling, which prompted them to write their first song: What a Word. The success of this song brought them strong encouragement and passion, and finally they left the original band and formed their own band.

Darren likes reading anne rice's novels very much. In a novel called The Vampire Chronicle, the author described the world as a savage garden, so the savage garden got the name of their band.

When they started writing songs, they turned their attention to European and American pop music, so they created their first single "I Want You", which is full of the charm of European pop songs in the 1980s and has a unique sense of freshness. When they wrote this song, their inspiration was out of control, and then they made "Go to the Moon and Come Back", which is a sad story about a girl who fantasizes about going to the moon with someone she likes after she can't get the affection of human beings and the care of her parents. And the deep and crazy rock song "Break Me, Shake Me"; And "Really, Crazy, Deeply", which is a song they wrote for Darren's wife Kirby when they went out.

These brilliant achievements prompted Savage Garden to release their first album. They invited the famous mixer charles lord alge, who has produced albums for famous bands such as Prince, Madona and Rolling Stones, and the famous coolest sound engineer charles fisher. After seven months of hard work, the album finally came out, and the listing was as cool as it brought great success, which made these two Brisbane. After enjoying a high reputation in the American music industry, they went to some big cities in North America and began to tour, which was warmly welcomed.

SG released its latest album "Affirmation" on1June 1999+065438+1October. There are two popular songs in this album, Song of Animals and I Know I Love You. Among them, I Know I Love You is another number one song on the billboard charts in the United States after Sincerity, Madness and Affection, and it is also about pure love.

It certainly changed their savage style and made people feel their garden side more. Darren Hayes changed from a rock singer to a blue prince, which is mainly related to his life experience, because he and his wife Kirby divorced in June 1999. However, the twists and turns of life did not crush him. Without his lover, Darren still wrote: I know I love you. From "Affirmation", you can hear Darren's bumpy life experience from several songs such as "Two beds and a coffee machine" and "My lover after". This album truly reflects the other side of our talented savage garden.
