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.
Music Video Song Lyrics
Music Video by Darren Hayes 1982
Oh I was a very young ten years old
Tenderoni got to school early to avoid home
I was emerging I was finding myself
A butterfly before the guys
Knew I was different but I wasn't ashamed yet
Oh Tammy Loewe you were the only fly girl in school
And I was obsessed with you
With your hair and your beautiful brown eyes
I was gonna direct you in my own music video
I had to get your hair just right
And that's when I felt a slap from behind
The school Principal she said
"Oh Darren Hayes you're a little fairy aren't you?
If I catch you playing with the girls again you'll be in detention
Because I know there's a name for boys like you"
There's a place I wanna go
Inside a music video
Where boys wear makeup and we play guitar
Neon is how I feel love is a battlefield
That's the place I wanna live
Where girls have names like Billie Jean
We dance in front of my VCR
Steal a DeLorean never look back again
1984
Oh I was a very young twelve years old
Shy but lonely not quite a girl but quite a ways from the guys
Internalizing I was hiding my magic
Sensitive lost in my mind
I knew I was different but I thought I could change it
Ooh Stephen Baker you were the handsome new boy at school
And I was obsessed with you
Your messy hair and those braces and that smile
I fantasized about holding hands
I liked to imagine what a hug would feel like
But that's when I got a letter from Mike
I opened it up it said
"Oh Darren Hayes you're in love with Stephen, aren't you?
Well if I catch you watching him in class again you'll get a broke nose
Because Darren there's a name for boys like you"
There's a place I wanna go
Inside a music video
Where boys wear makeup and we play guitar
Neon is how I feel love is a battlefield
That's the place I wanna live
Where girls have names like Billie Jean
We dance in front of my VCR
Steal a DeLorean never look back again
There's a place I wanna go
Inside a music video
Where boys wear makeup and we play guitar
Neon is how I feel love is a battlefield
That's the place I wanna live
Ooh and I did
Where girls have names like Billie Jean
You know
We dance in front of my VCR
Steal a DeLorean
I never looked back again
