Posted By Lowy on Wednesday, September 28 2005 at 9:08 PM
Taken from the highly anticipated 'Best Of' album by Savage Garden, Darren Hayes' new single 'So Beautiful' which features on the new compilation was the number one most added song to radio last week.
Furthermore, the track rocketed straight in to the top 50 airplay charts debuting at number 49 in its first week to radio.
The video for 'So Beautiful' was shot last week in Los Angeles which Hayes described as "The most enjoyable music video experience ever".
Though Hayes is reluctant to give too much away on what to expect of the video, he does hint "let's just say I was walking on air all day."
'So Beautiful' is released instores on October 31 world-wide and the Savage Garden 'Truly Madly Completely' best of album is released November 7.

Site Updates and Additions!
Posted By lssilver on Saturday, September 24 2005 at 6:48 PM
I have made some updates and additions to the site recently. These are the upgrade of the forum software from PHPBB2 to vBulletin and the installation of a Wiki.
Most of you will ask 'What is a Wiki?' ...
A wiki is a repository of information, in this case on Darren Hayes, Daniel Jones and Savage Garden (like an encyclopedia), except that instead of only a small number o f people being able to add content, anyone can.
Right now it only has a small amount of information but that can change if you, the fans, help out by adding content (you will need to register for an account in order to add new content).

L.A. September 22nd.
The video shoot is finished.
We started at 6 am today and it's 9pm as I write this.
I'm back in my hotel in LA and I'm tired! But, you
know what?
The most enjoyable music video experience ever.
Director Meiert Avis was utterly charming and full of
grace. Couldn't have asked for a nicer crew.
Want to know what the video concept is?
Hmm. Should I tell you?
Well, let's just say I was walking on air all day.
So Beautiful!
All my love..

Press Release - Truly Madly Completely
Posted By fallen_angel on Saturday, September 17 2005 at 11:13 PM
SAVAGE GARDEN
‘TRULY MADLY COMPLETELY – THE BEST OF SAVAGE GARDEN’
OUT ON NOVEMBER 7TH INTERNATIONALLY
(JAPAN – NOVEMBER 1ST)
US RELEASE SLATED FOR EARLY 2006
AND THE BRAND NEW SINGLE FROM
DARREN HAYES OF SAVAGE GARDEN
‘SO BEAUTIFUL’
OUT ON OCTOBER 31ST (outside North America)
With sales of over 23 million, Savage Garden are one of the most successful
duos of all time. Four years after parting company to pursue their own music
careers, 'Truly Madly Completely - The Best Of Savage Garden' celebrates the
time they spent together and is jam packed with their mega hits.
With unforgettable lyrics and killer choruses, Savage Garden wrote, produced
and performed a seemingly endless string of hits, re-inventing the pop world
with their authentic style and undeniable talent.
Darren Hayes and Daniel Jones released their eponymous debut album in 1997
and within just a few short months had taken the world by storm. Spawning
three global hits: ‘I Want You’ ,‘To The Moon And Back’ and the
record-breaking ‘Truly Madly Deeply’ (which topped the American Billboard
charts for an incredible nine weeks), 'Savage Garden' hit the #1 slots on
both the Australian ARIA and UK album charts before going on to sell 11
times platinum around the world. That same year, the Australian duo won an
unprecedented 10 ARIA Awards.
Their sophomore album ‘Affirmation’ matched this success. It produced their
second US Billboard #1 with ‘I Knew I Loved You’, and the massive hits ‘The
Animal Song’, ‘Affirmation’ and ‘Crash and Burn’.
'Truly Madly, Completely - The Best of Savage Garden' (in stores November
7th – in all markets except Japan (November 1st) and the US (where it will
be out early next year)) is a collection of all of the band's chart-topping
hits featured alongside two brand new songs from singer-songwriter Darren
Hayes ('So Beautiful' and 'California Home'). The first single 'So
Beautiful', which Darren co-wrote with Robert Conley and co-produced with
top American producer Mark Endert (Maroon 5, Gavin DeGraw), will be in
stores on October 31st (in those markets that release singles commercially
outside the US). Its emotive lyrics and memorable chorus echo the remarkable
pop sensibility of Savage Garden, highlighting Hayes's phenomenal ability to
captivate and transport his audience - not only with his extraordinary
voice, but also with his beautiful turn of phrase and incredible sense of
melody. The upcoming single heralds yet another new beginning for Darren
Hayes, whose third solo album is set for release in the New Year.
