1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Jum mission with Jones and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 2: Back in the nineteen nineties and the early two thousands,

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 2: it'd be hard to go anywhere without hearing a Savage

4
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 2: Garden song blaring from a speaker. It's been twenty five

5
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 2: years since the band burst onto the scene, and for

6
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 2: Darren Hayes, ten years since he's released new music. New

7
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 2: music plus Savage Garden equals a new tour from Darren Hayes,

8
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 2: and he joins us right now, Darren, Hello.

9
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:26,600
Speaker 1: Hey, how are you.

10
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 2: We're very well. I don't know if I've ever told

11
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 2: you this, but I had been doing IVF for a

12
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 2: thousand years and I was newly pregnant and overwhelmed with

13
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 2: just the emotion of it all. And I was driving

14
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 2: to visit a friend and on the radio came I

15
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 2: knew I loved you before I met you, and I'm

16
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 2: crying talking about it now. I had to pull over

17
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 2: on the side of the road, and SOB and sob

18
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 2: and SOB. I bet a million people have told you

19
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 2: what your songs mean to them over the years.

20
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: You know, I love that story, and so many women

21
00:00:54,920 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: have said that connection and or they talk about People

22
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: of every gender have talked about how that song specifically

23
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: talks about how they met their partner, and for me,

24
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: I relate that song to my husband. I've been married

25
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: for seventeen years, and when I wrote that song, I

26
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,839
Speaker 1: was not happy. It was complete fiction. At the time

27
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: it was written when we'd finished the second album and

28
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 1: the record company the song didn't exist, and the record

29
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: company said, yeah, it's good, but there's no truly Medley deeply,

30
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: which infuriated us. And we went back into the studio

31
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: and we wrote that song in about fifteen minutes. But

32
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: as we started writing it, I got a lump in

33
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: my throat and I felt this kind of future flash,

34
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: this future feeling of like I haven't met you yet,

35
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: but one day I will. And I remember singing that

36
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: song ironically ten years ago my last show ever, and

37
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: I said that to the audience. I said, you know,

38
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: at the time, I didn't know who this song was for,

39
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: But after being married for so long, I realized I was.

40
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: I had just had not met the person I was

41
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: going to spend the rest of my life with. But

42
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: I love that that means that to you.

43
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you play your own songs at your wedding

44
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: like everyone else plays yours?

45
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: No, but I do play music that I've made up

46
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: until it's released over and over again, like before it's released.

47
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 1: I love it and it's the only time when it's

48
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: not cheesy. I can play it and I feel like, oh,

49
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: I love this album and it's like no one knows

50
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: who it is, so I can play it in my

51
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,399
Speaker 1: car and I play it loud and I just feel like, yeah,

52
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: this is so cool. But after people know it, you

53
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: can just imagine imagine pulling up next to me at

54
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: the you know, at the traffic lights, and I'm listening

55
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: to my music. It'd be pretty daggy, it would be.

56
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: But excuse for confirming that.

57
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 3: Well, no, Well we were talking to Ed Sheeran about

58
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 3: this because he played at his own wedding, and I said,

59
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 3: well he is Ed Sheeran. You know, it's like it

60
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 3: was it was me. For example, I was getting married

61
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 3: and I said, ladies and gentlemen, I've recorded a song.

62
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 2: I think that would be charming. No, No, would I

63
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 2: think an amateur is charming. No, an amateur singing is charming.

64
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 3: But you're a professional musician, so that's fair enough.

65
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you leave the singing to the amateurs

66
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 1: at your own wedding.

67
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 3: Maybe really, well that's a different that's a different take

68
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 3: on that.

69
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 2: So new songs and old songs. So it's going to

70
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 2: have all the fields.

71
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: Well it has to, I think.

72
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 3: You know.

73
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: The thing is, it's been twenty five years since the

74
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: first Savage Garden record. I think it's been so long

75
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: since I've toured Australia. And also these are amazing venues.

76
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: I'm just so grateful to play, you know, arenas, and

77
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: I think also I'd probably be murdered if I didn't

78
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: play some of these, So, I mean, I really I

79
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: hate it when I go and see an artist that

80
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: I love and they don't play hits. And I've never

81
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: ever been that sort of artist where I decide, you know,

82
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: I'm only going to play the Japanese B sides. I

83
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: want the tours called do you remember? For a reason,

84
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: it's like I now have twenty five years of music

85
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: that I can play, and that's that's such an amazing,

86
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: you know, opportunity to kind of do a show that

87
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: I've always wanted to do.

88
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 3: Darren, It's always great to talk to you, Darren Hayes.

89
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 3: Do you remember to twenty five years of Savage Garden?

90
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 3: Solo hits and more. And it's totally okay for you,

91
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 3: by the way, to perform at your own wedding. I

92
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 3: think that's what you've already had. You win, I know.

93
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 3: But what I'm saying, if you're a professional musician, that's fine.

94
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: I think amateurs can as well.

95
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 3: Tickets going so much, everyone can.

96
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,479
