Darren Hayes' love songs
from Take 5 · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation
There aren’t many Australian bands who have sold 23 million copies of their albums. Cast your mind back to the late 90’s, and a duo from Brisbane called Savage Garden. Darren Hayes was the angel-voiced frontman, and after putting out two hugely successful albums he went solo. Now many years later he’s published a memoir titled Unlovable, and the story of his life as a little kid growing up in the South Brisbane suburbs, to becoming a worldwide pop star, and finally coming out, is one we’ve never heard like this before.Diana Ross - 'Reach Out And Touch (Somebody's Hand)'Peter Gabriel - 'Love To Be Loved'Madonna - 'Mother And Father'Taylor Swift - 'exile [Ft. Bon Iver]'George Michael - 'Jesus To A Child'There are parts of this conversation that explore Darren’s experiences with family violence. It’s a big part of his story, so please be warned.
