Lift Me Up - Darren Hayes

[dzve]

lovely song, one of my favourites :)

[alcitys]

Darren Hayes and BSB, both So Beautiful voice!

[ktbpa]

This is my favorite BSB song ever, so thank you Darren Hayes!

[JulieAP8]

<3

[foxykerrie]

Backstreet Boys Pfffffffffffffffffffffffft not a patch on Mr Hayes! <3 My Favorite Sound <3 xx

[mahzeil]

I like his duet with Olivia Newton John.

[TheBabyDoze]

Darren did not write it for the bsb. He wrote this for his own album "Spin" but it didn't make the cut for release, Darren however had promised to write a song for Olivia Newton-John and became a duet appearing on the Olivia Newton-John album (Two). Backstreet Boys recorded a version for their limited edition album "Never Gone" but was never endorsed as an official track and was removed from all official releases later.

[Synthstrumental]

@TheBabyDoze No, actually it was only mentioned in the Never Gone press release that a song by Darren Hayes would be on the album, but then a new press release was issued, and the song was not mentioned and didn't make the cut. I am the one who got this song (the BSB version) and put it on the internet. Not an official release or anything. It took a lot of effort to get the track as well.

[tricksyirish]

I like both versions of this song. I think The Boys version sounds good b/c they sped up the tempo a bit and have all of their voices harmonizing but Darren's version is great too b/c he has such an amazing voice that no matter if the song is fast or slow he sounds good no matter what! Thank you for introducing me to both versions, I love the song!

[cosmicmedicalalam]

I love this song....!!

[cosmicmedicalalam]

awesome...........!

[moonlightkisu]

I am a Darren fan, so I prefer this over the BSB version.

[xugaman]

Darren Hayes the best

[xugaman]

i like this song, but i cant find it , can you send me this song ?

[winniwaikiki]

This reminds me of the good old days :)

[meka996]

bsb version is better ^^

[DutchCreekRetrievers]

I had the Olivia-Darren version of this song a couple of years ago but lost the song when my hard drive took a nose dive. I've not been able to locate the Duets album anywhere. But this will suffice for now.

[rehpotsirhc21]

This has always been one of my favorite songs of his, right next to right dead back on it and your eyes... heck, Darren I love you!! haha

[MrPunkyBrooks]

According to him on his AskDarrenHayes twitter account , this is written as a b side for one of his songs , not for the Backstreet Boys , although they revived it but didn't officially released it .

[AnAnimal2]

Man I just have to say the songs and the singing done by Darren is just unbelievable,I can't understand why his songs and singing are not more well known. He is one of the greatest singers I have ever heard. This song says everything about being in love with that one special person.

[TurboPieRecords]

If darren actually had a "polished" version of this song recorded the BSB version would be blown away :)

[zeusdkfk]

the Backstreet Boys version is so much better!

But i can't deny that the lyrics are beautiful :).

[iamcherryann]

Another style ...........sing by Darren!! But this song is really gd I luv it sooooooooooooo much!

[dariakr]

apparently darren wrote this song for backstreet boys.. just heard their vesion. also not bad.. i love this song! ^^

[SLOTERXX]

great song

[BlackEyesBlueTears16]

I need this song!!!

[matutina5]

I read in darren's tweet that he wrote this song for backstreet boys?

[matutina5]

i love this song! Darren is very talented. I miss savage garden good thing darren is still making beautiful music

[foxykerrie]

prefer this version to BSB but when u listen to BSB u instantly know its Darrens song! just has that magical sound to it <3

[KasperKristjansson]

Just to correct - Darren Hayes did not write the song for Backstreet Boys. He wrote it for the album SPIN but it didn't make the cut. For some years he had promised Olivia Newton-John that he would write HER a song, but unfortunately he hadn't so he ended up doing this one on with her on the album "(2) duets". Later... Backstreet Boys were allowed to use it or it was givin to them or whatever. That's how the story's supposed to be. ;)

For you Darren fans out there.

[pamela2706]

@KasperKristjansson I thought he wrote this song for his friend Leonie Messer

[backstreetgirl00]

@KasperKristjansson that's true :)

[ziomekthx21]

[funwithcats]

[GundamWingss]

[DPagliarulo]

@anime65

As this was a demo song, I think you're OK.

[jamesjnnngs07]

@anime65 I would love to have this song. Do you still have the MP3?

[jamesjnnngs07]

@anime65 I'd like to have this song. I can't find it anywhere else. :)

[fanguism]

[JCChasezlover645]

[Veetanitu]

Darren wrote this? This is my favorite BSB song ever so the fact he wrote it? Big smiles.

[derynhaze]

yes he wrote this in 2000 i believe

[noxyxxx]

Big smiles from me too!

[Tractall]

i had no idea until recently that this song existed. amazing. anyone know where i can get guitar tabs for it?

[anime65]

Thanks for the comment(and everyone else aswell). Sorry, can't help you in this. Wish I could :(

[COLTIN94]

I think it would be cool if Darren and the BSB did the song together.

[cookie30341]

both versions are great, but Darren will always be my favorite singer

[cherrymama1000]

yes mine too but they both are great :)

[Brilijah]

the lyrics are great, but both versions are cool!!!

[bigmusicfan2468]

i think that i like both versions. they r both really with this song :)

[SunnyDorough]

Well...you can't deny that the lyrics are beautiful but...seroiously...the Backstreet Boys version is so much better!...and I do like Darren Hayes but I think this song is just not his best performance...I strongly recommend the Backstreet Boys version...if you are interested...by the way...BSB rocks!!!!

KTBSPA! (I'm not saying this 'cause I'm a BSB fan...I honestly think their version is better!)

[anime65]

I totally respect your comment, as everyone have his/her own opinion about what others like ;) but only with unharmful words

Anyways, thanks for your comment my friend :)

[tightlygifted]

Haha no way I think Darren sounds way better singing it. Im a fan of both but this is Darrens kind of song. BSB dont sound nearly as good....

[LKL910]

Backstreeet Boys are NO WHERE NEAR as talented as Darren.

Darren is the BOMB!!

[mileflak]

God, you're totally right... I'm from Costa Rica, and here almost nobody knows Darren Hayes, he's my favorite singer, and find music of him here, is almost imposible... :( But, totally agreee... DARREN IS THE BOMB!!!! :)

[cherrymama1000]

Yeah your so right he is the man

[lausssying1015]

agree.........!

[anime65]

hehe.... no comments on this :p

[Undocorkscrew25]

@SunnyDorough This is just a demo version of Lift Me Up. The only final studio version that exists is the duet with Olivia Newton John. That might have something to do with your preference....

[butterfly153239]

@SunnyDorough have u heard the version with darren and olivia newton john? omg talk about awesome!

[anime65]

thanks everyone for your nice comment ^_^

[kenjinator]

this solo is better than the actual duet!

[INXSamberINDOCHINE]

he is very very very very handsome...the song is great

[moonlightkisu]

lol .. darren writes for the backstreet boys?

[kenjinator]

apparently....just like he wrote for human nature!

[anime65]

yep, you're right and the same as he wrote for Clay Aiken =)

[moonlightkisu]

awesome

[kateo2006]

Great song. There is also a version of this which is a duet with Darren and Olivia Newton John. It was on one of Olivia's albums.
