This was when there was a push for men to become more emotionally healthy, as a counter to the rise of hypermasculinity (which grew into toxic masculinity). Unfortunately, we're still trying to normalize allowing men to be emotionally healthy, and being able to admit it when they aren't.
Darren's voice is so sweet, and sensual at the same time; it makes my heart sing. He sings so effortlessly. I remember when I played SG's album all the time, feeling so inspired and in love.
Maria Panlilio You should get his solo albums, Secret Codes and Battleships. Has a lot of sounds that remind of the Savage Garden albums, but the lyrics and the music ...WOW. Go buy it, trust me on this one!
I first heard Truly, Madly, Deeply in 1998. 2024 and 66 years old and still listening. Darren is such a beautiful and loving soul. He is the real deal!
It's been 24 years since this song was released, and the lyrics "Now we don't live, we exist, we just run through our lives so alone" still always hit as hard as the first time I heard it.
One of the best bands ever! My brother used to play savage garden songs in our karaoke before during our teenage years. How I wish songs are still like this nowadays. Late 90's and early 2000's are the best days of my life.
I liked Savage Garden when I was 11. I literally remember all the words still and I'm 29. Now that I look at Darren I can't believe how georgous this man really was. Glad he is happy now. He has had a rough life. He is beautiful inside and out.
Yes, Holly. Darren truly deserves all the best things that life has to offer. His ability to overcome all his obstacles has greatly inspired me to believe in myself and release my inner powers to become the best version that I can be. We can develop creative faith in ourselves (faith that is justified). Faith is like electricity. We cannot see it, but we can see the light.
Darren Hayes had such a painful life (domestic violence, abuse at school, divorce). He chose to not waste the time he has here or become bitter or a victim. He poured out the beauty from his (though many times shattered) heart through lyrics and his voice. Very much a beautiful soul under so much scar tissue
irisheyes317 sorry for bothering you but I need to ask you a question about Darren I’m a big fan. What happened to him when he was a child sexual abuse and he had family violence like being hit as a child? Please reply regards
@adrianaavila8853 Saw him in concert last year for the very first time after being a fan for 16 years. And let me tell you, it was a dream come true, it was beautiful, he was beautiful, his voice was beautiful. I cried I laughed. I wish I could tell little 7 year old me that we got to see him live and hear these songs live
Savage Garden's songs have a way of stirring inexplicable emotions. They are so relatable and make you feel that you are never alone, that someone out there is listening, ready to help.😊
Darren Hayes has the most beautiful voice. His voice, lyrics, singing and music take me way out of this world, somewhere beautiful, somewhere magical. Somewhere only Darren would know.
I was 8 or 9 years old when I first listened to their album Affirmation. This song is one of my favorite. Now I'm already 26 years old. Still love Darren's voice and the kind of songs that Savage Garden blessed us with.
Problem is the industry isn't set for songs like this to thrive anymore, the times of heartfelt pop are gone from mainstream. Hence why the record labels wont invest in an artist like this. Its sad.
that's why only listen to Kpop nowadays which is slightly more tolerable. western's pop has gone down the toilet. when crap like Katy Perry, Beyonce or Nicki Minaj's music are the most popular stuff, you just lose faith in humanity. Many people hated the BSB back in the day, but they're musical geniuses compared to One Direction
+vance astrovik I was and still a BSB fan lol , but yep with Hannah Montana rocking the charts what do you expect from this generation. Savage Garden is awesome, you shud try Ronan Keating he is still making music
Savage Garden's songs touch so many people as they are written from the heart, from actual experiences of the band members. This song was about his marriage break up when his wife told him that she had to go, as he was hiding his sexuality. He loved her, but knew he had to go.
Actually, she told him to go and to be true to himself. In an interview, Darren said that if she hadn't had said/done that, he'd probably stay with her forever.
Touches my soul every time. Every few years I'll listen to the whole truly madly deeply album. I'll never be able to put into words how this band made me feel
I Love this song so much and he's the best. I Like EVERY song that Darren (In Savage Garden and his Solo, his music is for me.) Thank you Darren for every single song that Savage Garden made and your Solo career. You are the BEST Pop Singer in the world ❤❤❤
I was living in and out of America for many years, and music wasn't the same in most countries... SO, I'm new to this group, this singer... BLOWN AWAY! Not just because Hayes is about as gorgeous as human being's come, with a great voice - but the words are SO 'right on' - every possible human emotion possible is expressed perfectly.
Great voice. Darren is Amazing. A Black tulip on a million White tulips. No one else like him. I don't know why here in Italy he is not more famous and popular?!
Hey Hey If we can't find a way out of these problems Then maybe we don't need this Standing face to face Enemies at war we build defenses And secret hiding places I might need you to hold me tonight I might need you to say it's alright I might need you to make the first stand Coz tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man Hey Hey More than angry words I hate this silence It's getting so loud Well I wanna scream But bitterness has silenced these emotions It's getting hard to breathe So tell me isn't happiness Worth more than a golden diamond ring? I'm willing to do anything To calm the storm in my heart I've never been the praying kind But lately I've been down upon my knees Not looking for a miracle Just a reason to believe I might need you to hold me tonight I might need you to say it's alright I might need you to make the first stand Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man Do you remember not long ago? When we used to live for the nighttime Cherish each moment Now we don't live we exist We just run through our lives So alone That's why you've got to hold me Hey Hey If we can't find a way out of these problems Then maybe we don't need this Standing face to face Enemies at war we build defenses And secret hiding places I might need you to hold me tonight I might need you to say it's alright I might need you to make the first stand Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man
you guys writing the words of each songs of savage garden. you are done really well. cause we are not all have the level of eng understanding each word of every song. so yea this is very helpfull. and make me enjoy it even more understanding exackly what the singer saying. thank you man.
I remember back then in "08 took my baby mother out of my car and we laid on the hood of my car...and i signed "hold me" to her since she's deaf and i'm hard of hearing...but i've learned every song and lyrics known to man that pertains to savage garden.....gotta admit savage garden has played a huge part into my relationship....god bless you darren hayes...you are a wonderful and beautiful human being....stay strong and true you will go far...thanks again
it's so astonishing to realize how even Pop music back then had so much charme, elegance and effectivness in his melodies, nowadays it's so cold, fake, dehumanized, sounds like there's no hope anymore for the masses, people don't live intesively anymore, i remember how different the 90's were...
God, I love how this group expresses their music. The guitar is flawless & he injects so much emotion in every word he sings. Not just on this song, he sings all of them like that.
*That's right* and he's an *Excellent* freak of nature talent with his lyric writing ability. I'd give *anything* to have him help write a song {or few} for whole day.
I love all of savage gardens songs. They're positive and entertaining and inspiring and meaningful. Savage garden will always be my favorite pop rock band of the 90's.
Jackie Manning I do too, I thought I’m the only one who loves to listen to his voice before sleep and I fall asleep while listening. It’s so beautiful and calming.
I think everything wonderful Singer Darren Hayes! Your artístic Work, your Voice, your way of being , Your vídeo, and your smale!♥♥♥♥❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
wonderful talent so much more comfortable within your own skin Darren. so glad to hav known this music. different from the rest of the world. always much love to all those who made this music possible.
A man being vulnerable way back in the 90's. Now that is impressive and raw.
This was when there was a push for men to become more emotionally healthy, as a counter to the rise of hypermasculinity (which grew into toxic masculinity). Unfortunately, we're still trying to normalize allowing men to be emotionally healthy, and being able to admit it when they aren't.

These guys saved me way back in 2001,still love them and I am a 67 yr old woman, Bless them and TY!!! ❤❤❤😊
Reminds me of someone
Good to see you come out with inspiration.
Good girl.. Glad to know you're here with us.. (61 last wednesday..)
I first heard Truly, Madly, Deeply in 1998. 2024 and 66 years old and still listening. Darren is such a beautiful and loving soul. He is the real deal!
Darren Hayes the most beautiful and talented man of the 90's.
Yup he is always will and always have :)
Not only 90s
Yup
After the three Hanson bros!

A beautiful man with a beautiful soul.
he's been my hero for 20 years now. i'm lucky to have him
I love darren hayes
How the fuck was this 22 years ago??? It felt just like yesterday. This song got me nostalgic af. I love you Darren ♥️
Isn't happiness worth more then a golden diamond rind?That lyric has a special meaning to me.He looks so young and sweet .
This song is soul ❤ love your comment 😊
This song is definitely a sweet song in general. Love 💜 this song.
He should re release these songs. Would blow the shit out of whatever is in the charts.
big dog, I totally agree. It would be great to see him in concert too. Take my money!
...even 3yrs later, his music will blow current shit out the water 🙂🙃🥰 #Timeless

Another great song, by Savage Garden. Still listening and it is 2023.😉🙃👏
I’m listening to Savage Garden Hold Me early February 2024
3:00
I was In 7th grade in 1997 when, they had a hit. They are a great band.
his voice is a devine
I can listen to this all day long without getting tired of it.
Pop music of this quality barely exists nowadays.
hello how are you doing today??
Very true.
💯
Yeah, totally agree with you, hard to find a song that can enjoy my ears
Very true
The most underrated vocalist ever.
Joshua Rojow his voice is amazing!!!!!
totally according with you...
Totally concur.
O000
So true! So much depth and feeling. Chills every time
He is such a beautiful singer and man! If heaven had a voice here on earth, it would be his!
I so agree, Johno!
Darren Hayes has the most beautiful voice. His voice, lyrics, singing and music take me way out of this world, somewhere beautiful, somewhere magical. Somewhere only Darren would know.
This song is timeless; I hope they play it in heaven.
They had better...
I miss Savage Garden, they were my 90's.
for me too, he was my best singer !
Tina Hardman me too
Yup me to
same
Me to i miss it savage garden ever and forever
I was 8 or 9 years old when I first listened to their album Affirmation. This song is one of my favorite. Now I'm already 26 years old. Still love Darren's voice and the kind of songs that Savage Garden blessed us with.
Not gonna lie, I love the songs but I keep watching these videos just too look at Darren - so handsome! And those eyes...
Me to!!! ❤
И я 💕
He is just pure sex
😍
Damn I wish these guys would rejoin. I really like Savage Garden
Me too. I know that they (Darren Hayes) were doing a tour close to my area, and I was so disappointed that I couldn't go 😔
Not looking for a miracle, just a reason to believe. One of my favorite lyrics ever.
My favourite song by Savage Garden, which I think it is relatively underrated.
The most beautiful emotional and soulfull song!!..
I wish more music nowadays had the same meaning and message that Savage Garden's songs do.
At that time I also had high hopes the world would become a much better place.
Problem is the industry isn't set for songs like this to thrive anymore, the times of heartfelt pop are gone from mainstream. Hence why the record labels wont invest in an artist like this. Its sad.
I wish they'd make another album

Listen to some Justin Bieber songs , way better pop than this 90's stuff.
I can’t stop watching this video. There is a depth within the voice of Darren that I can’t even explain. So nostalgic I just love him more and more 😘😍

Touches my soul every time. Every few years I'll listen to the whole truly madly deeply album. I'll never be able to put into words how this band made me feel
Savage Garden - nice band, with beautiful songs, sweet voices and handsome looking:)
євгенія щеснюк Definitely agreed.
I Love this song so much and he's the best. I Like EVERY song that Darren (In Savage Garden and his Solo, his music is for me.) Thank you Darren for every single song that Savage Garden made and your Solo career. You are the BEST Pop Singer in the world ❤❤❤
I was living in and out of America for many years, and music wasn't the same in most countries... SO, I'm new to this group, this singer... BLOWN AWAY! Not just because Hayes is about as gorgeous as human being's come, with a great voice - but the words are SO 'right on' - every possible human emotion possible is expressed perfectly.
2024 still here😊
I’m listening to Savage Garden Hold Me near the end of April 2024

Until the last day of my life and to the eternity.
Always!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
me too!
Great voice. Darren is Amazing. A Black tulip on a million White tulips. No one else like him. I don't know why here in Italy he is not more famous and popular?!
Beautiful. Beautiful. So Beautiful. And so honest.
so much emotion in this song...love it

Hey Hey
If we can't find a way out of these problems
Then maybe we don't need this
Standing face to face
Enemies at war we build defenses
And secret hiding places
I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say it's alright
I might need you to make the first stand
Coz tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man
Hey Hey
More than angry words I hate this silence
It's getting so loud
Well I wanna scream
But bitterness has silenced these emotions
It's getting hard to breathe
So tell me isn't happiness
Worth more than a golden diamond ring?
I'm willing to do anything
To calm the storm in my heart
I've never been the praying kind
But lately I've been down upon my knees
Not looking for a miracle
Just a reason to believe
I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say it's alright
I might need you to make the first stand
Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man
Do you remember not long ago?
When we used to live for the nighttime
Cherish each moment
Now we don't live we exist
We just run through our lives
So alone
That's why you've got to hold me
Hey Hey
If we can't find a way out of these problems
Then maybe we don't need this
Standing face to face
Enemies at war we build defenses
And secret hiding places
I might need you to hold me tonight
I might need you to say it's alright
I might need you to make the first stand
Because tonight I'm finding it hard to be your man

Cool music sounds like this is cool itself back then
The 90s weren’t that great. It just seems that way because things suck badly now. Living in the past is not good.
Forgot this song existed. Brought back so many memories.
Here again after Darren posted that he lived singing this on request in Newcastle. Had to come back and listen
💞always will love this song
One of my all time favourite savage garden songs ever
still so in love with his songs.
im having goosebumps right now... 90s music so good 😭
Incomparable**
hello Kathrina how are you doing??
This song is actually released in 2000. So basically this song is a 2000s song. 👌👌

It's s shame this band split, they were so good and Darren's voice is unique .
+NocturnalStar22 You can still listen to him. He has five solo albums and I think another one will be out this year. ;)
*That's right* and he's an *Excellent* freak of nature talent with his lyric writing ability. I'd give *anything* to have him help write a song {or few} for whole day.
NocturnalStar22 they was amazing band
NocturnalStar22 they're still on good terms though. They simply evolved creatively in unique ways. They're proud of each other
