From Woodridge, Australia to worldwide success, Darren Hayes and Daniel Jones were responsible for some of the most widely-known pop songs of the late '90s and early '00s. 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.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Notes: Piano players, here's your chance to shine! Pretty much the whole entire song is playing a chord in doubles (twice). Though there is some other right hand stuff going on, you could play just this and get away with it. For you guitar people, i know this song is for piano but you can play it too!
