Editor's note

Savage Garden's brief, bright pop moment

The Australian duo behind 'Truly, Madly, Deeply' made two albums before splitting.

If you only know one Savage Garden song, it's probably 'Truly, Madly, Deeply.' But 'I Want You' is the one that shows where they started.

For a few years in the late '90s, Savage Garden's songs were everywhere. 'Truly, Madly, Deeply' became a global wedding staple, and 'I Want You' had that synth hook you couldn't escape.

Darren Hayes and Daniel Jones started working together in Brisbane in 1994. Their self-titled debut arrived in 1997, followed by Affirmation in 1999, and they stopped recording as a duo in 2001.
