They coined the term from the works of novelist Anne Rice who used the phrase to describe the lair of the vampires in her novel The Vampire Lestat ; Rice called the vampire haunts a "savage garden. Hayes and Jones then set a resolute course for their career; they devoted their time exclusively to writing songs. By , they had completed several dozen songs and successfully recorded a debut album featuring eleven original selections. After completing the debut recording, their manager-producer team of John Woodruff and Charles Fisher fine tuned the tapes, adding more background and polish to the work.
Fisher, who recognized the hit potential of the Savage Garden sound, added instrumental accompaniment. Savage Garden's self-titled album was released in Australia late in ; it appeared in the United States early in Shortly after the release of the Australian debut album, American talk show host Rosie O'Donnell took a liking to a single release from that album called "I Want You.
Among the hit singles from the debut album, Hayes and Jones admitted that "Truly Madly Deeply" was a last minute choice for inclusion on the album. The two musicians admitted to reworking the entire song from its original arrangement just prior to recording the tune.
Within seven weeks of its release as a single, the song soared to number one on the music charts. In addition to the award for album of the year, Savage Garden received awards for best group, best debut album, and best pop release. Two of the three single tracks released from the album were nominated in contention with each other for best independent single, and the hit track, "To the Moon and Back" received an award as the highest selling single release of the year.
In search of new inspiration, Hayes and his make-up artist spouse, Colby Taylor, relocated to New York City in following the success of the first Savage Garden album.
Taylor and Hayes, who met in college, married in ; the pair separated in and were divorced in Hayes also adopted a more prominent role as spokesperson for the pair and allowed his personal life to define the persona of Savage Garden. Jones stayed out of the spotlight and remained in Brisbane. Hayes admitted that the emotional aftermath of his failed relationship with Taylor proved an integral source of inspiration for the material on the duo's follow-up album, which was released in The album, like its predecessor, contained solid single tracks that proved popular when released as singles.
Now, maybe we've proved them wrong," Hayes told Steve Dougherty in People. Daniel Jones, born on July 22, in Essex England moved to Brisbane, Australia as a young child, he plays keyboard, guitar, programming and sings back up.
Darren came from a long line of musicians, so his love for music started when he was very young. When he was little, his brother had a drum set and when he went out, Daniel would sneak into his room and play then, he took piano lessons when he was seven. By the age of ten, he was playing the keyboard and drums in pubs and hotels.
Darren was born May 8, in Brisbane, he is both the lead and back up singers. At a young age, he began showing alot of intrest of getting into entertainment by singing and acting around the house which led him to act in many school plays when he got into high school.
After high school, Darren attended college, to study journalism, Drama and education. Both the guys are songwriters. One by one they got rejected until John Woodruff heard their tape and thought they had a chance, he immediately flew to Brisbane to sign them to JWM, his record company.
Their first self titled album was recorded in Sydney, Australia. In , his record company Columbia dropped him; the following year he self-released his third album. After the dissolution of Savage Garden, Jones built his own recording studio, and started a record label, Meridien Musik.
It was the ideal set-up for a man who shunned attention and wanted to bury himself in the minutia of studio life. Aneiki, however, disintegrated after only one album. Jones co-wrote a Bachelor Girl song that same year, then abruptly quit the music industry. Music remains a hobby. Throughout the years, Hayes has often seemed testy about any mention of a possible Savage Garden reformation, snapping at a hopeful Daily Telegraph writer in , who segued from the topic of a Spice Girls reunion to suggest a similar thing.
Speaking to Things end. Things crash. Things burn. Hayes, meanwhile, seems to be planning an entirely new act. Music seems to be the last thing on his mind. They also know that any comeback would ultimately be disappointing. The brevity of their career is a major part of the appeal.
