Nacido el 8 de mayo de 1972 en Brisbane, Australia, Darren Stanley Hayes mostró interés por la música desde temprana edad. Durante su infancia y adolescencia, desarrolló una fuerte pasión por el canto y la composición. Sus primeros pasos en la música estuvieron influenciados por artistas de la talla de Michael Jackson y Madonna, quienes sirvieron como inspiración para su futuro en la industria musical.
La carrera de Hayes tomó un giro significativo en 1993 cuando conoció a Daniel Jones a través de un anuncio en una revista musical en busca de un vocalista. Este encuentro marcó el inicio de Savage Garden, un dúo que reescribiría la historia del pop de los años 90.
Tras una increíble trayectoria con Savage Garden, el dúo se disolvió en 2001. Sin embargo, esto no significó el fin de la carrera de Darren Hayes. En lugar de detenerse, decidió seguir su camino como solista, explorando nuevas facetas de su arte.
If I woke up late
Couldn’t get out of bed
If I bought you a café latte instead
If I lied when I said 32 inches was the size of my waist
And can I admit every once in a while
Even though I dig alternative style
Occasionally I can be caught dancin’ to Britney
And can I confess
That art house doesn’t turn me on
But I like every single thing that Speilberg’s done (except AI)
Could I be good enough
Could I be good enough
If the going got worse and the worse got rough
The days became endless and harder than tough
I’d be good enough
Better than best would be simply to be good enough
If everything I give doesn’t seem like a lot
If it’s all that I got, Baby tell me that could be good enough.
Where I grew up
The rent was cheap
Though we always had enough to eat
Didn’t have fancy clothes
I never really cared coz there were shoes on my toes
And motherly love I knew it like the back of my hand
She always had a way to make me understand
I could be good enough
I could be good enough
If the going got worse and the worse got rough
The days became endless and harder than tough
I’d be good enough
Better than best would be simply to be good enough
If everything I give doesn’t seem like a lot
If it’s all that I got
Baby tell me that could be good enough
Cuz I don’t know which way this road is gonna turn
But I know it’s gonna be fine
But there are some days no matter how much I’ve learned
That the road gets tough
And I don’t feel good enough
But if you’re giving me some of that loving
Could you pass some over
Let me cry on your shoulder and tell me baby
I could be good enough
If I lost my job
And my hair fell out
If I made no sense
And I scream and shout
Would you laugh at me?
Never take a word I say seriously
And when I’m out in the cold
Waiting in the back of the line
Too afraid to drop my name for fear of decline
Could you tell me I’m good enough?
Could I be good enough?
If the going got worse and the worse got rough
The days became endless and harder than tough
I’d be good enough
Better than best would be simply to be good enough
If everything I give doesn’t seem like a lot
If it’s all that I’ve got
Baby tell me that could be good enough
I need to know that I could be good enough
Because everybody wants to feel good enough
Show me baby
Tell me
Come on a prove it baby
Give it to me
