:'C this song reminds e of my dad! (he moved to a place close to Australia when i was in pre School... he always promised that he would come back in "ONE WEEK!" but never did.. he finally came to visit a couple months ago jut to visit for a day..) *I live in the U.S.*
@AnimeNovice2010 Pictures can all be found at internet. So how they where taken or got distributed is again a question for Savage Garden themselves ^^
This song was only originally on the US release of the album. The Australasian album had a different song instead, Universe I believe (but I might have that wrong)
As I said, I might have it wrong. Maybe it was Violet that they replaced with Promises. Maybe. It's been a long time since I was an obsessed fangirl :D
By the way, Darren is behind Daniel in a lot of photos, check it out. Obviously, tho, Darren is drop dead gorgeous with a voice to match, without him there would not have been a SG. He is a brilliant songwriter, performer that oozes sex appeal not to mention genuine artistry.
For all of you who keep referring to Daniel as "The other guy" his name is Daniel Jones. And to answer the questions about the reason they're not together, it was mostly Daniel's choice because he was founder of the group anyway, and he wanted to leave Savage Garden to be with his family. Darren then went solo and they both said "never again". I wish they'd get back together too, but some things are meant to be left alone.
I make this song mine. I grew up with some SG songs and new Darren Hayes songs too. I hope one day I'll meet him. I think it's a nice and clever person.
Now I keep promises and my life it's always better. Happy.
I wonder when darren sang these songs if they brought up the feeling he felt when he wrote it. or if he just had to think on the way he sounds. ... beuaty on earth.
i love this song so much....and yesterday i found a new band on youtube by accident,GIRL MEET GIRL-YOU BUR MY HEART,i love so much this band,thats my new fav band....
i love this song good thing i was looking up savage garden or i wouldn't have found it oh how i wish they'd get back together and make more songs like this :(
my husband he's has sea sky blue eyes and medium brown hair i love him to death didn't expect to find him just wait one day when you're not looking the perfect guy "maybe a new neighbor" wil come to borrow something and voila
Yes I think what brennahell said is correct, they seemed to focus on Darren more as he was the singer. Besides Daniel wasn't as comfortable in front of the camera.
his name is daniel jones he does like all the music and stuff and a lil of back up vocals and darrens image is the leader and i guess that ppl like darren over daniel
i think ppl just except his as the other band member and no more, but with out him their not a band :(
@ZeoDovE The other guy was shy and never really liked being in focus so to speak and now is behind the scen and owns his own record label in Australia or something, Darren loves the lime light and so is now a solo artist.
@ZeoDovE Darren was more into the lime light and the other guy rather work behind the scen then up frunt, thats why Darren is now a solo artist and the other dude owns his own record label in Australia.
@ZeoDovE That's how a brand works. Savage Garden is a brand and Darren Hayes represent that brand. So does Daniel, but since Darren was the lead singer it was the most logical to let him be in the front of the pictures. Many bands are linked to their leadsingers. U can't think U2 without thinking Bono and vice versa
@ZeoDovE That is more than likely due to ego. Sometimes the lead singer wants to be placed in the front or focused in most because he wants to be the star of the group.
(reply to self) oh great, NOW I see that everyone answered similar answers. Not deleting my comment due to being too lazy to look through all the answers and see whether they covered all 3 or mine. They probably did :)
@ZeoDovE Well, Daniel was never really all that excited about being in the public eye. He preferred to be behind the scenes. Which is where he is now. He's a producer and writer.
@ZeoDovE I believe the reason for Darren always being in the front is because Daniel has always preferred to be in the background. Even though they always had equal input in the music collaboration, Daniel has always been a musician and producer (and still very active in the music industry) while Darren has always been more outgoing and also the main vocalist. It's a nice complement and balance of the two. That was my understanding of it.
@ZeoDovE I don't understand that too, coz daniel is just as important as darren... darren's songs without daniel are still great, but not the way it was with daniel...
loved them

@ZeoDovE Several possible reasons:
(a) That's how the "production" wanted it. They were under Sony's management so if they think this will make little girls scream then they'll do it..
(b) Darren was the singer. Singers are usually put at the front on the stage, in photoshoots and in general.
(c) Daniel, "the other guy", used to be pretty shy and would often appear to take a step back. Darren is an attention whore :)
