Music Monday - Savage Garden with Truly Madly Deeply (Lyrics)

"Dreams and ambitions take hold more quickly when you share them with someone you love"


Hello! Hello! It's Monday again, time really flies, DJ Lil is back with another of her favourites. For those who have their Monday blues and find themselves moody this morning, relax, I bet you will get over it in no time. Let me entertain you then for a little while so that you get back your normal mood to start your daily work in good spirit even though the songs chosen here are more or less love songs.

I've been changing from one song to another before I posted these videos, at first I thought of having Anggun on for MM this week. Instead, I now prefer relaxing songs for a change which are soothing, and so it is Savage Garden for this week! I love listening to most of their songs and I hope you guys like my selections for this week too. You can sing along if you like, that's the reason why I prefer to post the main song with lyrics. It's more fun and enjoyable to sing along.

"Happy Music Monday" and enjoy listening.

Have a great and fruitful week. God bless you. Cheers!


Song lyrics | Truly Madly Deeply lyrics

Biography
Savage Garden (1995 - 2001)

From Brisbane, Australia to worldwide success, Messrs. Hayes and Jones were responsible for some of the most widely-known pop songs of the late 90’s and early 00’s. Appropriately enough, given their Anne Rice-inspired name, Savage Garden veered between lush ballads (“Truly Madly Deeply”, “I Knew I Loved You”) and up-tempo dance numbers (“I Want You”, “The Animal Song”) with a deftness that put many of their contemporaries in the shade.

In July of 1996, under Roadshow Music, the duo released their debut single “‎I Want You.” The single was a hit in Australia and became the year’s highest-selling by an Australian artist. The success of the single garnered much interest from many U.S. record labels and in September, Columbia Records won the bidding war to sign the band. In November a second single, “To The Moon And Back,” was released and was another chart hit—reaching No. 1 in January of the following year.

“‎I Want You” was released in the United States in February 1997, where it peaked at No. 4 and quickly achieved gold status. “Truly Madly Deeply,” the band’s third Australian single, was released in March and reached No. 1 just before “I Want You” was released across Europe in April. The duo’s debut album, Savage Garden, entered the Australian charts at No. 1 in March and remained at that peak for 17 weeks—it was released around the world two weeks later. At the end of May, “To The Moon And Back” became the most played song on U.S. radio.

In June 1997, a fourth single, “Break Me, Shake Me” was released in Australia as the band’s debut album sat at No. 3 on the U.S. charts and was certified gold by the ARIA. By the end of August, the album was seven-times platinum in Australia, triple-platinum in Canada, and double-platinum in New Zealand and Singapore. At the end of August, Savage Garden received a record 13 ARIA awards nominations. The 10 ARIAs won by them in September was also a record, and one that still stands today. Riding this massive wave of popularity was the release of their fifth Australian single, “Universe.” By November that year, “Truly Madly Deeply” became their third U.S. release, shooting up the charts to blow Elton John’s “Candle In The Wind 1997” out of its 14-week run at the number-one spot. By the end of 1997, Darren and Daniel had become international stars.

In January 1998, “All Around Me,” a sixth single, was released just as the band kicked off their worldwide tour in Cairns, Australia. By the end of the year, “Truly Madly Deeply” was the most-played song on U.S. radio and the only one-sided single to spend a full year in the Top 30 of the Billboard Hot 100.

“The Animal Song” (featured in the Disney film The Other Sister), the first single from the follow-up album “Affirmation” was released in February 1999 and became a hit in Australia and the US. That September saw the release of a new single previewing their forthcoming album; the smooth, romantic ballad, “I Knew I Loved You”.

The duo’s second album, Affirmation, was released in November 1999 globally. It took a month for it to go platinum in the US, largely due to the success of the single “I Knew I Loved You,” which hit #1 on the charts, eventually going platinum and becoming the most-played single on US radio for the year.

Affirmation saw a new turn for Savage Garden; their looks had more similarities to that of mainstream pop and some of their new songs possessed a more adult contemporary sound.

The group finished out the year by winning two Billboard Music Awards: Adult Contemporary Single of the Year and Hot 100 Singles Airplay of the Year.

In February 2000, as “Crash and Burn” became the third single from their second album, 1997’s “Truly Madly Deeply” was amazingly still on the Monitor/Billboard Adult Contemporary Airplay Chart, breaking the record for length of time of any single on that chart. It would finally drop off the chart after 123 weeks.

In June, Darren Hayes performed “‘O Sole Mio” at Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti’s annual charitable benefit concert Pavarotti and Friends. Savage Garden’s great success was reflected once again at the Billboard Music Awards, where they won Best Adult Contemporary Video and No. 1 Adult Contemporary Song of the Year, for “I Knew I Loved You”, and No. 1 Adult Contemporary Artist of the Year. “I Knew I Loved You” stayed on the Monitor/Billboard Adult Contemporary Airplay Chart for 124 weeks – overtaking the duo’s own record previously set by “Truly Madly Deeply”.

In October 2001, the band split and Darren Hayes went on to enjoy further success with albums Spin (2002), The Tension And The Spark (2004) and This Delicate Thing We’ve Made (2007).

As of 2005, the band’s debut album had been certified 12-times platinum in Australia, six-times platinum in the United States, and double-platinum in the United Kingdom.

Hi LadyJava,
No wonder you told me that you have given me earlier the website of the above.
You tau I baru see this message today when I went thru the 2nd page.
Do not understand why JS Kit did not send me the notification regarding this comments. I normally like to answer all comments directed to me.

At least you understand now why there is no feedback from me as per this comments. Teruk betul lah this JS Kit sometimes.

Love and hugzzz from me to you and all your Meows
