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.
When I first escaped the city of York
And leapt out of this cage
No silicon chip could sublimate
Or tame this temptuous rage
When my heart was in the attic
Like the picture of Dorian Gray
I was rescued by the enemy
That dare not speak it's name
Say hello to your future
I'm just pleased to meet you
You were a million miles away
Say hello to your lion's heart
Queen Victoria's England
Will never ever be the same
Giddyup!
When I left the warm surroundings
Of my selfish difficult stage
When our eyes first met there was deja-vu
And a feeling I could not shake
Then gravity seduced me
And drew me to this place
I could swear we were together
In an entirely different age
Say hello to your future
I'm just pleased to meet you
You were a million miles away
Say hello to your lion's heart
Queen Victoria's England
Will never ever be the same
So wonderfully good looking
With fine and delicate lines
If I place this face in carbon freeze
It will never be affected by time
She said "Don't confuse your beauty
With the insolence of youth.
You can move through time in one direction.
Sad but it's the truth"
But it took so long to meet you
But it took so long to meet you
It took so long to meet you
It's time to go
It's time to leave
You should never have come
Get back to the craft
Get back to your age
Take somebody with you
Giddyup!
Say hello to your future
I'm just pleased to meet you
You were a million miles away
Say hello to your lion's heart
Queen Victoria's England
Will never ever be the same
Say hello to your future
I'm just pleased to meet you
You were a million miles away
Say hello to your lion's heart
Queen Victoria's England
Will never ever be the same
