Dear friends! As today's weather is not good at all for having any outdoor activities, I 've decided to introduce you one band that is not world-known but won my heart when I heard its songs for the first time. It is an Australian band "Savage Garden". That duo started the careeer in 1996 and this year we are celebrating their 20th anniversary being on the stage. I'd like you to hear their inordinary sound! They were so great when young! Their "Affirmation" was the song of Olimpic games in Australia and sounded all over the world for rather long. I am really sorry, they are not as popular as BSB or other bands. But they are worth being listened.
So, here is so famous "Affirmation":

Here is the lyrics:
I believe the sun should never set upon an argument
I believe we place our happiness in other people's hands
I believe that junk food tastes so good because it's bad for you
I believe your parents did the best job they knew how to do
I believe that beauty magazines promote low self-esteem
I believe I'm loved when I'm completely by myself alone
I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye
I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality
I believe that trust is more important than monogamy
I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul
I believe that family is worth more than money or gold
I believe the struggle for financial freedom is unfair
I believe the only ones who disagree are millionaires
I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye
I believe forgiveness is the key to your unhappiness
I believe that wedded bliss negates the need to be undressed
I believe that God does not endorse TV evangelists
I believe in love surviving death into eternity
I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until you've been burned
I believe the grass is no more greener on the other side
I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye
[repeat ]
And one more of their most famous songs "Truly, madly, deeply"!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQnAxOQxQIU
The lyrics:
I'll be your wish I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope I'll be your love
Be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do
I will be strong I will be faithful
'cause I'm counting on
A new beginning
A reason for living
A deeper meaning, yeah
[chorus:]
I want to stand with you on
a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
And when the stars are shining
brightly in the velvet sky,
I'll make a wish send it to heaven
Then make you want to cry
The tears of joy for all the
pleasure and the certainty
That we're surrounded by the
comfort and protection of
The highest powers
In lonely hours
The tears devour you
[chorus]
Oh can you see it baby?
You don't have to close your eyes
'Cause it's standing right
before you
All that you need will surely come
I'll be your dream I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope I'll be your love
Be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do
[chorus]
I want to stand with you on a
mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to live like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me.

Dear Anny! Thanks for your great reply! Sure, I agree, it is better to experience love than to hear or read about it! I can't answer your question right away, but I will find the answer very very soon. In fact, I have never thought about that as most of bands sing their own songs
Dear Anny! Now I know the Savage Garden guys are the authors of this song, I mean music and lyrics, but the idea is not theirs. It is deeply-rooted in Indian culture and history and based on Kama Sutra
I heard this song the first time when I was a student. I thought it was an immortal song. So do Savage Garden is the artist of this song please Danny?
When I was about 22 I usually listened radio. I wished someday my lover would send me this song through radio :D. When I dated with my husband I told him my wish once. But maybe he doesn't remember.
Anyway finding a true, deep, mad love is better than receiving the "truly, madly, deeply" song.
I also like Tanya's song "I knew I loved you"
Dear Noaslpls! You are right. The band fell apart but their music will never fade like music of the Beatles, the Queens, the Scorpions and other outstanding singers. True values are immortal like true feelings.
Happy Valentine's Day! May you always be loved!
They were very popular over here, maybe because Malaysians love cheesy songs :D :D :D Thanks for sharing this. It's been a while since I listen to any of their songs. Though the lead singer became a solo artist when the band was disbanded, but it was not the same.
Dear Elen! It is not a surprise you don't know this band. It is not very famous although I wonder why. Phil Collins, Mel Gibson are also Australians and they were and still are so very famous! Savage Garden is a very good band! They became famous during Olimpic games 2000 and they were not worse than BSB. I am glad you like their lyrics. It is so touching and worth listening!
Hi Tanya, yes, i agree but Mel Gibson is an actor and he is famous from the big screen, something that is very different. Anyway they are very good and they worth to be famous too!
Dear Elen! Thanks for your understanding. You are absolutely right! This band deserves more attention and popularity. As to Mel, he has always been one of the best! Do you know that in 90's he was the most sexual and attractive guys in the world? There was a pole and I also took part in it. He was irresistable! Wow! I do like handsome men with great sense of humor! Ha-ha-ha!
Happy Valentine!
Thanks Tanya for the information :) Happy Valentine's Day to you too! Wishing you a great romantic day with Danny :)
