  • This song was written over a decade ago but speaks more truth today than ever.

  • this song takes me back to the good old days

  • The "Homos" comment is funny considering that only Darren is gay, and he was actually married to a lady at one stage in his life. Is it really a consideration if a person is gay or not as to how their music is perceived or how THEY are perceived? Would "your" reaction to music change if you didn't know the sexual orientation of a person? Would it matter? Music is music that is what it is. Gay, straight, bi, who really gives a crap. Great music is and will always be great music.

  • @emcee7075 I concur, Freddie Mercury was gary (god rest his soul) but that being said, Queen is a classic and could not have been what it was without him. I really care about the music and that's about it.

  • darren did the heart thing years before beiber even thought of it !

  • my favorite band ever since .

  • @Randomvideos267 Homos with songs that can change & influence for the better in other people's lives is always better than a straight guy who can only write comments like yours.

  • Back when music was better..

  • i agree with everything he says in this song. magic.

  • Thats why the music From the 80's is so Good cause its real WIth No Computers TO Ruin the Effects of things called INstruments ! Remember those THings :P

  • If you would compare the songs of modern age than the older songs.. i bet the songs from 2000 below would still be remembered until 3000 :D

  • top top song, live your life like this and you will do ok

  • I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THESE GUYS, why am I only finding out theyre aussie now? BONUS!

  • I beleive in this song.

  • these guys are seriously homo

  • @Randomvideos267 Yeah and...?

  • @Randomvideos267 Mate, noone gives a shit if you think they are homos. everyone else watching obviously loves them.

    idiot.

  • @Randomvideos267 Weak.

  • when i was little i used to have a massive crush on Daren Hayes i used to think that he was actually called "Savage Garden" that his first name was Savage and his last name was Garden and that Daniel Jones was just a random who appeared a lot in his clips :p

  • Youtube messed up.

    There is a dislike button.

  • hands up if you think justin bieber bribed 25 people to vote down

  • listening to this song again makes me so sad and happy at the same time. i wish i appreciated this more back then. Now all we listen to on the radios are Lady Gaga and Justine Baby. oh man....

  • omg the best song ever

  • This expresses my beliefs exactly! At least someone else believes what I believe in!

  • @sharkbate24 me too

  • I LOVE SAVAGE GARDEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I believe in karma, what you give is what you get returned. If only we all remembered this everyday.

  • Aaah <3 I remember i loved this song when i was little ! So old memories <3

  • I believe this song is full of beautiful messages of truth that people are too blind or brainwashed to listen to nowadays. I want to listen to more music like Savage Garden! Where is the love in music nowadays I tell you?

  • Ahh how much I loved this band back then, they're music still sounds great to me even if I haven't listened to it for ages. Makes it just the better though. :) Makes me feel like a teenager again hee hee.

  • @RavenUniverze sorry i accidentally flagged it down!!! can't undo it eh! i actually totally feel the same way=) they make me feel young too listening to them!!

  • @hotpinkslink I believe you don't know how to appreciate good music.

  • I believe you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye

  • demonios¬¬ siempre que quede con ganas de escucharlos en vivo!.... y tan sexys que se ven en este video jajajaja

  • Anyone know why they broke up?

  • @FuriousStrength Daniel couldn't cope with the raising fame and wanted out. He went on to do make music but more 'behind the scenes'.

  • Comment removed

  • it would be so good if these guys did a charity tour for a good cause, i love these guys so much miss them

  • Pretty much going to play this video on loop if that's ok with everyone.

  • massimo oddo in concerto!

  • I 'm listening them for couple hours and I belive that I won't ever stop! ;D

  • I love this song so much.

  • Great song. Very sad that another singer turned out to be a FAG

  • is he gay? he acts it. That's not an insult by the way before you all start slagging me off

  • @kevcarspray If you're talking about Darren Hayes(lead singer) then yes he is gay. He came out around 2000.

  • @Fiwen543

    isnt he bi , not gay ?

  • @OriginalTbag not sure if this went through before so I'm posting again. The source I got the information from said he came out as gay in 2000 but the source could be wrong or he decided to be bi later on.

  • @OriginalTbag My statement before saying that he might be bi is wrong. I just found Darren Hayes' channel on youtube where he has a message for gays. He says that he's gay and that he's been married to Richard for five years. check it out if you want. Just search for Darren Hayes and his channel is at the top.

  • darren voice xcelent

  • This ain't my kind of music at all, but the lyrics are amazing. This is the perfect antidote to "hate the sin, love the sinner" bullsh*t Christian music. I think Jesus would choose this over the other.

  • para karol

  • This is one of the best songs I have EVER heard. The message is so profound. Really listen to the lyrics. Savage Garden was a great band--they had many songs with a message, but were also great to listen to.

  • @scathach2010 i agree with 100% of this track. Briliant and true. x

  • bueniiisimaa..................­..........:)

  • what is wrong with you people? it doesn't matter what his sexuality is. the fact of the matter is that they were and will always be absolute rubbish, gay or straight.

  • Comment removed

  • Wow he's cute :p, and before anyone says, yes I know he is gay, so what? I can still drool over him lol

  • Ahh, adoro esta canción. Siempre me pone de buen humor y con ganas de salir corriendo toda contenta :D

  • i love this song

  • This song just makes me want to celebrate life =D

  • @Spozzie94 You've right...this is afirmation of Our life time. This song makes me live! :)

  • @Spozzie94 You've right...this is afirmation of Our life time. This song makes me live! :)

  • i love this video :)

  • I LOVE THIS SONG SOOOOO MUCCHH DARREN HAYES I LOVE YOU YOUR TOTALLY GORGEOUS XXXXXXXX

  • heard this song on the radio today. Loved it before. Still love it now, Somewhat more cos I'm older and understand it more!! Hooray!!!!

    Just bought the Albums again!!

  • I dont know why people get so caught up in sexuality Its about the music ya heard me!!!!!

  • I LOVE DARREN

  • I missed this music so much.

  • This Song Rocks! Just like His heart does. It's complete Passion. Thats what He is singing to us, On this video. Back in the 90's we didn't appreciate anything He said. But now We wish we did. Because look at us now. We need songs like that to brings us back to life. I mean we heard Him... And we liked his songs. We just didn't listen... But why would you put so much meaning in a Song? I know i wouldn't if i knew it would be a waste of time. Singers like him tried too much. We Failed him. God to

  • @Incontrol85 , yes, you are right! we need songs like this! and savage garden will remain, as their song's message lives.

  • @Incontrol85, is Savage Garden a Christian rock band? This song is sooo different . . .

  • I love savage garden, but this song is such a product.

    still good though.

  • That concert was amazing.

    I can't remember when it was, a long time ago, i think either in 2000, or 2002 .

    I was about 7

  • I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned

    I believe you can't appreciate real love 'til 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

  • Comment removed

  • Shame if he is gay he is fit :)

  • mint song!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • One of the BEST feel good songs every created! <3

  • str8, gay, bisexual or trisexual... awesome music is awesome music. and savage garden!! "i believe you cant control or choose your sexuality..." listen to the words bitches. :) savage garden FTW!!!!

  • Love this song, and I love them! I wish they were still around :) xox

  • well i tell you ,the music that he sings is different from straight,cause when he sings it means he sings the song for some guy....I think makes a big difference.

    But all and all great voice and perfect music for hangover :P:P:P

  • Savage Garden rocks!

    Love them!

  • "I believe the sun should never set upon an argument" sounds a lot like Ephesians 4:26 "Let not the sun go down upon your wrath"

  • I love savage garden, what happened to them, they have not released anything

    in years? I love their musice if they are gay straight or pink I don't care, I would

    love to be around them,

  • @oldsouthpaw The singer Darren Hayes is very much still an active recording artist. Look him up, he´s made 3 albums post savage garden. "Spin"(2002), "The Tension and the Spark"(2004) and "This Delicate Thing We've Made"(2007). He's also releasing a new album this sping! Exciting :D

  • ok i am so sick of seeing comments insulting someone on their sexuality. ppl it is none of ur business if he is or not. ppl need to shut up and grow up. this video is for ppl to watch a video and listen to some good ass music, not for rude ass ppl to make insulting comments, so nxt time ppl just shut up and watch the video and leave ur hateful comments to ur dam self.

  • @phantomgirl393 u go baby

  • CLASS ;-)

  • this song makes me sooo happy :)

  • He is gay. WHATEVER?! I am glad abou who he is because I danced like a child on Savage Garden songs and he is SO SMART like no one heterosexual man. I LIKE HIM. :D Bow Darren

  • ♥ Loveeeeeeeeeeeeee This Song ♥

  • Vaya Video El Mejor!

  • When i first listen to this song , my dream is i want Savage Garden to perform this song in some big event or ceremony like World cup or Olympic games.That would be very very epic.

    And you know .. 2000 Olympic make my dream came true , thank you Australia :)

  • sexuality, faith, race. these are just words that have no true meaning. spirit, heart, and wisdom. these words have true meaning and should never be forgotten.spirit gives us courage to move forward. heart gives us compassion to help others through their suffering. and wisdom, wisdom gives us that which allows us to pass on our world to our children.now go out there and live your lives in a way that makes you happy, for that is all that matters.

  • this has to be the best song written ever 

  • Who gives a flying fuck if he's gay? They're an awesome band! Keep in mind, they were popular in the 90's, some of those clothes were popular back then :P

  • Do you actuially realise that this song is 11 years old and we still listen to it today? when the only thing on tv is shitty Gaga and Justin Baby? ... Savage Garden music will always be "as new" forever , and their songs will sound as good as they sound now even when they will be 30-50-100 years old ... Savage Garden reamains, the rest just pass ... why can't they just get back together?

  • @Savageboy93

    I think we are becoming the old generation crew... our reaction is the same as our parents when they listened to our music. we need to be open to the new trend, but I have to agree that it's mostly crap these days.

  • C'mon now, if metal heads can call Rob Halford a "Metal God", and he's a gay man, then no one has any room to be discriminative towards a person's sexual preference. period. It just reaffirms that homosexuality should never be an issue when it comes to a persons talent

  • Sexuality should have no bearing whatsoever on the validity of a song or songwriter. Someone mentioned Freddie Mercury, so true! But also look at Rob Halford, the lead singer of Judas Priest, is gay as well. Now, if heavy metal fans can call a gay man a "Metal God" then no one should be closed minded about a person's sexuality period lol

  • this song is an anthem

  • Savage Garden is 1 of the best bands eva.

    This is a great song!

    The lyrics of this song means a lot!

  • It's amazing how so many great singers are gay. It really is interesting.

  • this song makes me happy!

  • This was my all time favorite song growing up as a kid

    still is =D <3

  • Come on, say it with me people "I AM the way the truth and the light....." THAT is THE Affirmation of SELF! THAT IS WHO YOU TRULY ARE! =D

  • I deeply love this song....His voice is so perfect, the lyrics are so perfect!!

    I don't understand why people care so much about the sexual preferences, the appearence and the looks of the others!!I <3 Darren Hayes as an artist!He's awesome!:)

  • @Alexicious7 Hell yes! Look at Freddie Mercury, Queen is a worldwide icon despite that fact that he was gay. Pride ftw! Savage Garden ftw! <333

  • he is a  great singer!!!! I <3 U Savage Graden!!

  • I love the message of this song! 

  • @Suwai0303 - you're right, the message is a great one.

  • Dude, growing up, I knew two songs. I never knew he was gay OR Australian. I freaking love him! Australians are the bestt xD

    And yeah, really? There's nothing wrong with gay people. Just because the Bible says "man and woman". I bet none of you follow the whole Bible, considering it always has slavery. Follow it all, or shut the fuck up.

  • muy buena cancion *-*

    i love you Savage Garden :D

  • i love darren hayes. who gives a shit if hes gay

  • me encanta el vídeo!!!!!

  • I've yet to come across a youtube vid without a gay reference. This song is the bomb and should be appreciated for what it does for everyone that listens to it.

  • As if we didn't already know he was gay before he came out of the closet....

  • Even I can say this is a beautiful man inside and out..... and im a 23 year old strait guy

  • Just love love love these guys!!

  • Ahh, I haven't listened to these guys for years. I feel 11 years old again. =D

  • i luv this song bcoz of the lyrics

  • This song is amazing. I love how he literally pours his heart and soul into it without fear of what people will say.

  • gayness should not be subjected to our kids is the onlything that counts

    now this guy thats singing this song actually sucks doing it he should have sold this song instead of trying to sing it

  • @imasex69er For a period of time I thought that as well. But then I started talking to a gay guy. As a child he knew that he was attracted to other males but he thought that he was the only one in the world.

    As heterosexuals we are presented in our media with role models that show us what it means to be attracted to the opposite sex and through example explore how one romances and negotiates the emotional minefield of adolescence as a heterosexual. Gay teens don't have that opportunity.

  • I believe I like the lyrics of this song.... lol

  • I believe, Savage Garden are awesome. :)

  • Most possitive song around.

  • what ru talking about? they are not gays. i like them for ages.... savage garden. best from australia.... and fosters beer, kylie minigue and of course inxs

  • @repo27 Nah silly, Darren is very gay and very out. But who cares? COOL SONGS!!

  • @repo27 Actually the lead singer is gay (Darren)

  • i know one is gay, but like MrsJoeJonasX0X says who cares. but which one is the singer or the guitarist?

  • @aayla666 Darren Hayes is gay. Hes the singer.

  • What an amazing gift this song is!!!!! Thank you Savage Garden! (The mind of each man is a Savage Garden- AR)

  • Oh GOD!!!Still this matter!!!!!!!!!!The most stupid and absurd thing is that in the large majority of cases are MEN that say..uhhh..nooo...he's gay..that's horrible..!!..and not GIRLS!!I'm a girl and for me it is the HOTTEST guy all over the world, I could die for a man like him!!!

  • wohaaaa Darren looks like a rock star in this video :D

  • damn, in my opinion these guys were one of the best duos ever, its a shame they broke up.

  • MrsJoeJonasX0X ;

    i guess when people talking about darren being a gay .. they don't want anyone from their familes to be like him !

    for me .. i'd rather to listen to people who really follow what they are singing or saying ( my opinion )

  • Who gives a fuk if some1 is gay??

    Well i dont.. All i know is that Savage Garden made me feel like the happiest child growin up cos id just jump around and sing to them.. I didnt even know he was gay until like 5 mins ago and that hasnt made any differance because its the person he is and the music they wrote that matters isnt it? Or has the world gone SERIOUSLY shallow?

  • @MrsJoeJonasX0X I agree. Same applies to GEORGE MICHAEL

  • @theyears1988 Oh yeah completely agree :)

  • @MrsJoeJonasX0X Well said. :)

  • @MrsJoeJonasX0X alot of people jus cant except the fact of people being gay... i know... everyone looks down on me for it... buh like you said.. it dont change shit from shortcake, im styll the same person as b4.. jus different sexual prefference, n savage garden is bomb for the songs ... the lyrics jus capture you!! :)

  • @MrsJoeJonasX0X  i agree i still jump around and sing along iv liked them since i was like 7 and im 19

  • @yellowsnow123214 "...i still jump around and sing..." ME TOO! only I'm 40+ and it's the landing that just about does me in! LOLOLOL luv this song!!!

  • @MrsJoeJonasX0X and yes the world is very shallow and its despicable

  • @MrsJoeJonasX0X you got that right!!!.... people are jus shallow now n days... i have alot of people cuss me out cuz im gay... buh the way i look at it is.. you dont like me fuck off problem solved... n YES.. THIS BAND IS ONE OF THE GREATESTS!!!!!!!!

  • @MrsJoeJonasX0X the world is one shallow shallow place

  • @MrsJoeJonasX0X well said.... couldnt have said it better myself!!

  • @MrsJoeJonasX0X The funny thing is, his songs represent human emotion just as truthfully (especially the ones immediately after his marriage and shortly after his divorce) as experiencing it yourself. "A Thousand Words" is probably my favorite Savage Garden song and I found myself -sad- to notice that he had suffered a divorce shortly before recording it...

  • Divini!

  • look if people are gay their gay its their choice not yours. me personally im straight i av gay m8s and they still act and do wat i do apart from they fancy men ! BIG DEAL !!!

  • So if being gay is a choice, and we can control who we end up falling in love with....then you chose to be straight, right raiders2000?

    False. People don't consciously make the decision to fall in love--it just happens. Sometimes with a man, sometimes with a woman but either way it is beautiful and worthy of respect and recognition.

    People should open their eyes and stop judging and hating others because they differ from what mainstream deems to be "normal".

  • @jasonwenceslaojr Obviously you haven't met a lot of gay couples if you are under the misconception that "people most of the time end up with someone who they don't love at all"

    Heterosexual people have just as difficult a time finding love as homosexual people.

    Being gay isn't a choice son.

  • @groovyukulele Well said. I totally agree with "Being gay isn't a choice..."

  • @johnmilo117 how is it not?

  • @Kudiz I'm not saying it's not. Your on the spot with that one. It's something you cannot control.

  • This song makes me happy,every day )))

  • Man, he has one BEAUTIFUL voice! Still makes me wanna jump around like a fangirl! xD

  • urborg74..YOUR THE ONE WITH HUGE BLINDERS ON..NOT ME :0

    and im not wrong.. :) .. and don't compare being attarcted to a woman, to being attracted to a man..big difference ok

  • No, you can't chose those kind of things, you can only lie to yourself and those around you and try to suppress it, like many individuals do because of the stigma associated with not being the 'norm.'

    Don't talk like you know if you haven't been there.

  • And if you were told you were wrong, that you should be attracted to men (assuming) what would you say? Personally, if I was told I was sinning because I'm attracted to women, I'd tell said religious person to kiss my ass. The blinders you're wearing must be HUGE for you to believe as you do.

  • Comment removed

  • You're so right Thakoeli, one can never be too careful. That's why it's always a good idea to have security patrolling the concert areas. Front door, back door, the dressing rooms, anywhere else some crazed fan might try to sneak into.

  • love this songgg!

  • I just have one question. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .why the hell didn't these guys get a flippin' No.1 in our country, the UK?! The closest they came was with 'To the Moon and Back' which I LOVE, aswell as this, but Savage Garden were and still are for me, one of the best bands who came out towards the end of the 21st Century!

  • @cheekymonkey0770 you are 100%...

    their songs are great and Darren's voice is much better than a lot of guys around.........

  • such an amazing song :)

  • i love the song and the video

  • one of my favs by savage garden ;)

  • i love this song

  • wow he pulls ppl up to kick it on stage, what a down to earth celebrity. In my opinion they should all be that way, it is us who pay their bills. I hate stuck up snobby celebs who forget who put them there. .

  • @burnrider2001 LOL ur right. But then you also have crazed fans that are able to do anything to anyone. You never know who you pull on stage.
