Australian pop duo Savage Garden released a string of smash hits in the late ‘90s, but 1997’s “Truly Madly Deeply” became their signature song. Vocalist Darren Hayes reflected on the song saying:
I remember that I wanted ‘Truly Madly Deeply’ to be a hidden bonus track—I thought it was too personal to be properly out there and on the album.
The song not only hit #1 but it stayed on the charts for 123 weeks. Billboard ranked the song at #35 in their list of The All-Time Top 100 Songs.
There are two versions of the song: the original version which was part of their Australian debut album and the international version which came later with the album’s release to Europe and America. The tracks feature different drum tracks.
They also have different videos.
I'll be your hope, I'll be your love, be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath, truly, madly, deeply do
I will be strong, I will be faithful 'cause I'm counting on...
[Pre-Chorus]
A new beginnin', a reason for livin'
A deeper meanin', yeah
[Chorus]
Well, I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
[Verse 2]
And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky
I'll make a wish, send it to heaven then make you want to cry
The tears of joy for all the pleasure and the certainty
That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of...
[Pre-Chorus]
The highest powers in lonely hours (Lonely hours)
The tears devour you
Well, I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
[Bridge]
Oh, can you see it, baby?
You don't have to close your eyes
'Cause it's standing right before you
All that you need will surely come
Hoo, hoo, yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish, I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope, I'll be your love, be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath, truly, madly, deeply do (I love you)
Mmm, mmm
[Chorus]
I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
I wanna lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
Well, I wanna stand with you on a mountain
I wanna bathe with you in the sea
Well, I want to live like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
