Lyrics:
I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned
I believe you can't appreciate real love until 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
Savage garden is one of the most underrated pop rock bands of all time. Their music is amazing and powerful and meaningful and fantastic. I will always be a savage garden fan!!!!!!
Literally ANYTHING off the "Affirmation" album could've been a big hit, the album is really that good!
Its May 18th 2024. Im a 57yr old mom to 3 grown adults & grandma of 3 beautiful grandsons. Savage Garden ARE my fave. I listen to their songs every night as I fall asleep. Darren Hayes has the voice of an Angel. I so wish they would regroup. Or Darren gets another group together. The WHOLE world NEEDS his music more now than ever before. 20+ years & Savage Garden are still EPIC.
Who is listening this WONDERFUL song in August 2024 🎤❤🎼

Listening 2:12am 2024 with my earphones on because I can't sleep.
One of the most unappreciated and underestimated songs of all time.
_One of the most unappreciated and underestimated _*_bands_*_ of all time._ I agree with one little change.
They were very much appreciated in the 90´s
+Neil Mackenzie....YESSSSSSSSSSS Savage Garden is that diamond on the beach most people never noticed because it was surrounded by so many other shiny things.
Eskimolz I noticed.
You and I are new best friends then :)
I think more people need to listen to this song...
This is one of those rare songs that become more meaningful as you get older. The world is a better place because of it.
Just started playing this and remember when it first came out. Haven't heard it for years , and I have totally agree with you. Very meaningful and just a bloody good song. So much crap songs these days.
Too true, too true :)
Totally agree
Couldn't agree more!
So true
I'm so glad this is getting a revival in 2024!!!

@veganhigler6541 ok good for him!
@veganhigler6541why does that matter?
I’ve been listening to Savage Garden ever since I was little ❤ Darren Hayes is to me an earth Angel 👼 ❤ unbelievable music
This song is absolutely phenomenal. It was lyrically far ahead of its time.
No it wasn't
This hits differently as you get older... damn ❤️
@@Buttsy9824 my husband used to sing this song to me and say “this is us”, he died at Christmas and my friend heard it yesterday and said “this is you”, from that exact line, and I knew what I had, but you still live with regret regardless xx
Absolutely you realise how much trivial stuff bothered you before
We are getting wiser. I love the lyrics. It is a poem - an affirmation
@@MsJenn1985 I am so sorry for your loss! 💚
Very true
It is the begining of 2024
Who here with me ?
This song transcends decades ❤

This will stay with me 🙆 march 2024
Hi I am listening April 2024 long live savage garden 😊❤xxx
I am here listening in 2024
Still listening in April 2024😊
It's 2023 and the lyrics still holds up. Darren and Daniel were an amazing duo.
My mum's favourite song. I played it for her while she was dying. The last line of the chorus is true..you don't know what you've got until you say goodbye.
R.i.p mum...Love you always xxxxx
Thanks for cheering us all up
😭
Thank you for sharing, your last moments with your mum, God bless you both. Until you loose everyone in your life, that’s when we’re tested and too loose a parent is definitely one of the hardest. ❤️❤️
I'm so sorry that hard 😞😞😞
@@suzannegraham344 he's only trying to get sympathy
"I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul." It's August 2022 and I'm still into this song. This will always have a special place in my heart. ❤
Yes I love it too all I have to do is play this song and it pump's me write up that I will dance like a teenager in the street and I'm 56
Love this band wish I was part of it
All there music is as mad as I am
@@darrenchalmers1073 hello Darren Marlene Jump
me to
Is it just me or is this even more relevant today than when it was released. Think they should re-release it 🙌
I second this, and I’m a 21 year old atheist…
@@lachlanparker570 if you listen to the lyrics you can tell he's actually criticising religion
@@poofballoon okay, then. These guys are officially my favourite.
@@poofballoon He's tellings things just how they are, no matter who might feel offended. A rare display of courage in today's world.
@@octavianepure8004Agreed
First heard this song in my teenage years and it was like a revelation to me.
Now I'm 36 and still am humbled in awe by the truth preached in this song.
God is watching your every move!
Me too. I'm 35 now. 36 in April. 🥰💚
This song hits so differently now that I'm 35.
Didn't you know 😂
I miss these guys. They made real music that touched your heart, no corniness or sleaze. Just pure though provoking feel good. This song is so uplifting and Darren had an amazing voice. Thanks guys for the music :)
I realize this is a three year old comment but have you checked out Darren Hayes’s solo stuff?
Right!! I would totally go back and live in the 90s early 2000s had far less as far as tech but was much simpler happier and easier times I truly miss it
Are you kidding? This is such a ridiculously corny song.
@@GushOnline Darren has some amazing solo stuff!
@Russell Shore I can see how you can say that... it wasn't a particularly complex song. It was Darren talking about his beliefs and Danielmadding some fun beats. It's more just an upbeat, positive sing added to the album but it no way reflects the depth of the band altogether. This album is truly amazing if you It's your style. "Gunning Down Romance" is one of my all time favorites.
Savage Garden... 20 years passed and I still love their songs!
Wow 20 years, now i feel old
Andy Simpson I know the feeling 😆
Why just why
Same!! Damn, 20 years!! Xx
💖 forever
“I believe your most attractive features are your heart and soul” so true! Who’s listening in 2021!!!
Greets from Germany 🙂
This song is still relevant now then it was back then because ppl are more colder now than ever. Don’t appreciate what they have. Xxx
I bealive in love surviving death into eternity
Yep same! 2021 and still rocking this! And tears of pearls!
@@nailsbykacey9979 greetz from Belgium!
Meaningful song... I'm proud to have grown up with a generation who listened to this type of songs. Reminds me of the good old innocent days when there was no social media and people and friends actually hung out
💯
In my opinion it is Savage Garden's best song.
what*
derby derby he said in his opinion it's Savage Garden's best song
Redwan Hasan This is one of Savage Gardens best songs. I truly agree. Thank you.
One of the best yeah, slightly prefer "I want you" tho
To the moon and back and the animal song are just as good.
I can't believe it ... 21 years later, after having lived so many experiences I can say: every word of this song is full of truth! ❤️
😍😍😭💜
Darren Hayes is right on the everything he's says is spot on, what Darren says goes, no ifs or buts about it, this guy is outta this world, he spreads love joy happiness listening to this now and makes me smile and filled with love follow his example and you'll shine like him or as bright this guy I can't say enough about Darren, CYA FRIENDS
It's hard believe this song came out over 20 years ago!!!
I believe that Savage Garden was pure Aussie gold, so, so proud of these Aussie boys❣
My dear friend of 20 years introduced me to this band and I immediately fell in love with this song. He died a few weeks ago, but this will always remind me of my John. xx
Damn, he was so gorgeous, and sings like an angel. First time I heard them was way back on an pirate radio station in the uk, was hooked from that moment. Saw them 7 times in concert, took a mate once and she fainted!
His older music is the best ever.
He really was damn..
I can't believe I listened to this since it was released without actually "listening" to it. I swear I feel I've just heard it for the first time!! Such truths ❤
I remember my friend in 6th grade year 2000 I believe, he loves Savage Garden so much we used to sing this mostly after dawn at least 3 times before going to school in the morning. Those adolescent days were golden; the meaning of the song embodies the pure innocence and possibility of the times. I pray that I may be able to stop mistaking compassion for love this time around, and be able to truly live the experience and wisdom of this song yet again.
Listening to this, late at night, on my 36th birthday after a great day out with my wife and two young kids.
This song is so underrated, it's like "sunscreen" in the format of an actual song!
Who'd have thought it? Either way, the words make a s**t load of sense and that's good enough for me! Don't forget this song peeps, it's a good 'un.
This song saved my life as a kid. Now as an adult it really points to who I am turning out to be. Forever grateful for this song's presence in my life and for the cd not breaking for as much as I played it on repeat...
CDs don't wear down, they do scratch up though....which means its longevity is a testament to how well-loved it was. It was like sacred to ya, in a way. I lost my copy when I moved out on my own as an idiot 19 yr old. It's on my spotify though!
Amen !!!!!!! Exactly the same for me !!!
This always brings me back to 2000 when I was watching olympics at my grandma for the first time. I didn't understand a single english word back than but I was mesmerized by the closing ceremony. The atmosphere, people from around the world dancing and the positive energy....gotta listen to Vanessa Amorosi next
This song really spoke about the most important things in life long before society knew it.
Their music is so wholesome... Their lyrics are so uplifting, why isn't music like that today? :(
Shoutout to those who are still listening and loving this song in 2020
YES I DO 😍😍😍
We're here ❤
Lol
I do be getting forced to play this in the car o.O
I do..
2022 and this song is still so meaningful. It was way ahead of its time lyrically
These lyrics are so timeless, they were true even before the song was written... They were relevant from the moment beauty magazines and TV evangelists first came into being!
Savage Garden helped me trough rough times in life, so inspiring. The music from Daniel and Darren's voice were MAGIC.
Still to this day one of the greatest statement songs made 👌🏼
“I believe in Karma what you give is what you get returned”
Absolutely
I believe this song is underrated.
massively underrated, its a song with lots of tegridy :)
Who on earth wrote the words to this ??
Absolutely awesome and meaningful 💖💖💖💖

@@figanboyaci8522 believe it or not Mariah Carey and few other music celebs back in the day wrote this for him.
@@Leefryyinc GOD I love this so much
This song is way ahead of its time.
Not at all
Just booked tickets to Darren's Do You Remember? tour for 2023. Can't wait!! ❤️
When they opened 2000 sydney I cried like a 5 year old without reccess. The message was to abolish inequality. The world needs to hear it now.and forever
Savage Garden's songs always sounds current even they released many years ago
Savage Garden -- The best pop act to ever come out of Australia!
After Kylie Minogue, I agree.
I'm 40yo now. I'm a widow with a disabled 6yo, and a 9mo (that I was halfway through the pregnacy when he unexpectedly died) This song used to be a jam.
Now it is mantra.
"I believe in love surviving death into eternity"
Don't care who you are or what kind of music you like, you have to admit that this song slaps something fierce 😊
Still to this day one of the greatest statement songs made
This ENTIRE album is a MASTERPIECE! Soundtrack of my life right here.
A song with a message we should live by.
I am beyond grateful to my mum introducing me to Savage Garden when I was about 12 so 2002. Im 32 now & it's even better listening to them now, they give the emotional boost I now genuinely need
me too
Savage Garden's songs always sounds current even they released many years ago
Yes! So good!
Hmm I agree that it is good but this song has a very distinct 90s sound
Everyone needs to listen to this song and the meaning. Our country needs this right now. Love Savage Garden. They are the best.
Their lyrics are usually shallow, cheesy, and seemingly lazy, with simplistic composition, but I like them regardless. Even if I don't like most of the lyrics. It's a nice feel good song though for sure.
Darren's songs is very positive. 🤩
yes they are.
We need to accelerate the collapse of Western civilization
Best drummer ... Fell in love with it since 2002
I'm listening in 2022. I'm a 24 year Devoted Fan. I ❤ Darren's singing...Like an Angel.
Very down to earth and easy to talk 👄 to.
Thank you God for SG and most of all, Darren Hayes. The Best Pop Singer in the World. You don't get better than that ❤
hello how are you doing today????
I m 54 still listening... Him every day... I star my day... With his voice..
Very true
I believe these are the greatest lyrics in the entire history of pop music.
After almost 15 years I re-realized how freaking great song this is!!!! I always love the way Darren uses words. Love from Japan♥️
Was a banger then, it’s still a banger now. Always was a banger and always will be! I believe in Karma, what you give is what you get returned ❤
I believe, you, Darren, are the most beautiful human being. Have always loved you to the moon and back. Just... Thank you. For your voice and songs. ❤
This song wipes its ass with pretty much any pop played on the radio today.
One of those songs that are simple yet strikes hard. Perfectly depicts reality, Love it!
"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"
Light years ahead of its time
It's 2021 and I haven't heard all these Savage Garden songs in so long, but I still remember every word! HOWW
SAME!
I'm going to need those two to get back together and save us from the crap on the radio, please and thank you.
+Devona Bright or you could listen to darren's solo stuff? its a little different to savage garden's style but its sill amazing
Believe it and it will be done. Love is that powerful.
Devona Bright , I agree with you 💯%
I have been listening to Savage Garden since the late 90's
I hope they get back together for a tour in Texas ...
My luv to u, Darren
Hate to be a downer but I think it's pretty unlikely. Unlike Darren (singer), Daniel (guitarist) never felt comfortable in the limelight and with the level of fame Savage Garden achieved - preferring the writing and producing side of music, and the pub scene which he'd know well prior to that. The main reason why they broke up was because what they each wanted lay at odds with one another and this became increasingly apparent, creating a divide between the two (although they respected one another both before and after the split). I can attest to the fact that the two were always very different people; although they worked well together the evidence (if you were a crazy fan like I was) became increasingly obvious and their split, when it came, wasn't that much of a surprise (though it still felt awful).
And this from wikiepedia: Darren was once asked in an interview if he would ever consider reforming Savage Garden and he said, "No, never. I once said I'd only do it if it cured cancer, and that's still how I feel."
Darren & Daniel haven’t spoken for years so I doubt it
This song gives me such nostalgia, definitely one of my comfort bands despite being a metal head and even introduced their music to a few of my friends.
I remember the first time I heard this and being floored and I still am listening to it 25 years later. Way ahead of its time and sensational vocals to boot
The lyrics are so powerful! This song represents life, represents love. We should all after watching/listening to this, should have a greater respect for life. Appreciate what and who you have your life.
Darren himself does't know how talented he is.
This song just straight up gives me chills. I believe that the lyrics to this song is the gospel truth 👌

This is the song I need right now! In the face of a pandemic, rocky marriage, personal demons...I just want positivity!
Hope you're doing alright man
@@fazzification I'm doing so much better, thanks bro!
Hope you came through the other side alright sir.
Bless your dude
100% this! When I'm alone in the car, I put this song at max volume and sing my lungs out. It's very cathartic.
What an album opener, what an album title, what lyrics, what a song. This was definitely one of the songs that inspired me to be free. I follow my dreams, try to be better each day and to live life how I want to.
"I believe that family is worth more than money or gold". Words to live by.
I'm gratefull for this band!
This song was so ahead of it's time. Damn shame it never gets played on the radio nowadays.
I literally just heard it on the radio just now
In short, this song amplifies the facts that
(1) Life is short and you get just one shot at it. So
(2) Love yourself and
(3) Be the best version of you anytime (and every time). So that when you are in your last breaths
(4) You don't die with REGRETS but rather die with tears of immense Happiness about your past actions
2024 anyone ❤️
I am with u

Great lyrics and the band's masterpiece. You can't argue with a single line.
Still one of my favorite groups and songs. Love Savage Garden and all of their songs. Darren and Dan need to come back and make another album. We miss you guys and love you.
60 years old just discovering Savage Garden now hooked. Great Music !!!!
I can kind of relate, my Grandad was into Savage Garden, my Mum sort of got him into them.
I’m 53/54, listened to them nearly 20 yrs ago. Was looking for this, glad I found it! One of my favorite albums. ☺️😮😊👍
@@annawei4301 Some bands should not be allowed to breakup for the greater good, lol
My R.E teacher played us this in year 7 , and taught us the lyrics.... I appreciated more as i got older. ....
This song is sheer music at the early stage of my life, it hits so much differently now that I’m older and appreciate every single word
for my Mum who loved this song, K 1963-2016
Sorry for your loss :(
NumPad Thank you :)
Way too early.
Roy Au Meuni Oh yeah you're right there. Lung cancer, it gives nobody any time.
Elaine Davis Thank you very much Elaine. I'm sorry you had to go through the same trauma x
Without a doubt one of the best songs ever recorded and my personal favourite - ever.
I never truly heard the lyrics till tonight! What an amazing song this is. 💜✌🏽🎶💪🏾🧠
Seeing Darren performing this live last week hit differently!! 90s would’ve sucked without Savage Garden
God, thank You for the gift of Darren Hayes and Daniel Jones. :D So much better than those mainstream crap I hear nowadays.
This is more than a great song!.... It's a perfect reflection about life.
This song provides food for thought. Truly amazing.
I love this song so much. It is so straight forward, and is so honest. I love the various messages, and the way the melody lifts you up no matter what's going on. Savage Garden is forever a part of me.
I had forgotten this group, this takes me back. They had some really good songs.
The lyrics in this song are so beautiful and relevant to this day
This is/ was the best band from down under and arguably the world! I love their sound! Really deep lyrics that speak to the core!
This song was released way ahead of its time. Love this song
One of the best songs ever written
What a perfect piece of lyrics and wonderful melody. This is what I call a hit.
"I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality" - how often do you hear that true and important message in a song...
*****
Do you think gay people or straight ones for that matter know why they are attracted to a person of opposite or same sex? sure you can go around believing you're attracted to your girlfriend/lover/wife or any woman because she has nice face/eyes/hair/body/feet etc, the question here is why do you find this attractive. It's all a mix of hormones, electrical signals in your brain, enviroment and childhood. SO what he is singing, "I believe you can't control or choose your sexuality" is very true, and besides he is singing "I believe" which makes it his opinion and are you stating that he or other people are not entitled to their own opinions, because some researcher which probably can't see the difference between a goat and a whale (this is my opinion if you actually are stupid enough to waste decades looking for a gay gene) says they can't find something different in the genetic makeup of a gay man.
***** Ex Gay movement and are you one of them? I'm not Gay. I'm bisexual. I will never understand homophobic Groups that the agenda with life is to pull down other people to the ground. I also believe in God but not in any religion because God never made religions or any group for that matter. If each of us direct our lives into bringing down other people, there'd be no humility left in this planet. Instead of sharing love, People will plan on how to be more hurtful. I don't share your opinions with sexuality but i won't disrespect you. I know God loves me and everybody, I don't need anyone else's approval to validate that for me.
No you can't control it. i would have already if it was possible. I can't tell my heart to not fall in love.
***** "Btw, love the song just that one part that is deceptive."
It's not deceptive, because he precedes it with "I believe..."
But aside that, most gays, well over 90%, will tell you homosexuality is not a choice. So it's really not up for straight people to argue that point. It's only proper to give benefit of the doubt to homosexuals. The burden or proof is on those who claim it is not a choice.
***** All these beliefs you have, Where did it come from? dangerous way to live, sinful nature. It's wrong according to whom? From religious bibles? God never made bibles. A minority of overly controlling men from thousand of years ago wrote it and told the majority of uneducated men that it was God's words. God made humans and humans made material things. What other people do with their marriage life or intimate life have no internal or external effect with you whatsoever. So why direct your entire beliefs into thinking that what they will do with their relationships will hurt you? What will affect you is what you do, it ain't what will other people do. Oppression is never Good for anyone of us. Opinions are always fine but don't become an oppressor.
I'm from the philippines, we have a wide catholic population and i grew up going to church. I've always had crushes towards boys and girls. I tried to hide it because i know my parents and my family won't agree. I became lonely and hateful. I became a Bully. Three to Four years ago, I realised i should just love God and love Me. My spiritual belief is not church related or book related. It is a personal relation. I realised those Men with skin and Blood preaching over the church were never The God i admire. It was just Men. Men who eats rice and corn, who drinks wine and milk,who washes their asses when they are finished pooping. They were just ordinary humans.
It is not a sin to have different beliefs but it is a sin if you start believing that these ordinary humans are speaking and acting on behalf of GOD.
so talented Darren Hayes! i remember i bought their cassette ( not CD ) when this album came out. i was 17 yo. when i first heard this song, i knew straight that i would LOVE all the songs in the album! Darren you are the best song writer ever!
Yep, had the cassette too! my mom and I wore it out, it broke, taped that shit back together and we are still listening to it to this day!
I had 2 of their CDs back then. Had a huge crash on Darren :) Ahh, hight school years...
More than ever, this song should be sung. I don't care if you are Liberal, Conservative, straight, gay, bi, trans, white, black, Asian Hispanic or a unicorn we should all strive to be able to get behind this message.
Peace and long life.
I believe Harry Styles began where Savage Garden left off. Continue the love.❤
I've never listened to Harry styles but if his sound is similar to savage garden are they're song recommendations
Heart and soul matched in this song!!!!!!!
I never really listened to the lyrics when I was a kid, or think about it at all. It was just a nice song. This song was ahead of it's time. I just love that a song I've been listening to over and over for so many years, suddenly becomes a lot more meaningful. It's like listening to the song for the first time all over again.
Ahead of its time? 🤔
This got played in RE class. I almost cried because I was super-depressed. But, this song killed the dark thunder clouds and shone the bright and beautiful sun on top of me. :)
hello how are you doing today???
This song is still relevant
All life lessons in one song. So ahead of its time and so eternal. My favorite SG song since childhood.
They made some real good spirited music.
Best song . For me . Till now I'm continuing listening one of my favorite songs of this band from Australia. My greetings from South America . I am fan of Savage garden .
