國中時瘋狂的喜歡Savage Garden，後來他們解散，傷心了一段時間。但我還是一直追隨著Darren Hayes，隨著他兩張的個人單飛專輯發行，伴隨著我的大學生活。至今雖然新秀輩出，我還是無法忘記他們所譜出的經典。
那天，我很衝動的定了Coldplay在香港的演唱會門票，有一半原因是因為跟嘉黛聊過之後才猛然發現，原來我追隨coldplay的腳步已經邁向第9年...多麼漫長的年華...當下就跟嘉黛說這樣就沒有理由不去聽他們的演唱會！所以說衝動嗎？想想應該不算，因為在這麼多年的等待後，當一個小歌迷的我們，像嘉黛說的一樣，終究也只能以買唱片，或者聽演唱會來表達我們的支持了。
所以說，當Darren Hayes搬去英國後，跟他的男友過著幸福快樂的日子。沒發唱片的他最近也沒什麼新聞在臺灣的媒體。在回憶Coldplay的同時，靈光一現想找找Darren Hayes的動向。上網Google了一下，發現在MySpace music發達的年代，Darren Hayes也有他自己的部落格。找到的時候就像找到失聯老友般的開心，因為很擔心他已經淡出或是隱退了，還好，他還在網路世界的另一端....
最開心的就是發現他的2007/2008的新作，聆聽到他獨特的嗓音，還是會悸動一下。感覺上，樂風更自由、電子的成份也好聽 ...。
雖然不會再有Savage Garden這樣的傳奇團體出現，但是還好我們還保有超美聲的Darren Hayes！



Darren Hayes 2008新單曲“Casey“
Casey
By Darren Hayes and Peter Vitesse

Driving in your car with the windows down and a beat up stereo.
Struggle with this town because you love to hate it but hate to let it go.
And we’re all alone and so tired of being underrated.
So don’t take me home because I feel alive when you come and save me.
A yellow car speeding down the south side freeway
We’ll rewrite this movie, make it end like we want it to.

And Casey when you go.
Can you come and find me? Want to be beside you when you leave this town.
I’ll be waving goodbye pretending not to cry. I want to be someone.
If you take me away all the pain will change into a memory of when we were amazing.

1989
Summer had hit but it was not moving.
What is it with this town?
Every time we win it just feels like losing.
And we were never going to fit in.
I was a mixed up kid and you were my sanity in a yellow car.
We don’t even have to go far.
Because that song you’re playing sounds like peace on the radio.

And Casey when you go.
Can you come and find me? Want to be beside you when you leave this town.
I’ll be waving goodbye pretending not to cry. I want to be someone.
If you take me away all the pain will change into a memory of when we were amazing.
I know things will change but Casey stay the same.
Take me away.
We don’t have to go far.

Casey when you go.
Can you come and find me? Want to be beside you when you leave this town.
I’ll be waving goodbye pretending not to cry. I want to be someone.
If you take me away all the pain will change into a memory of when we were,
Of when we were.
Casey when you go.
Can you come and find me? Want to be beside you when you leave this town.
I’ll be waving goodbye pretending not to cry. I want to be someone.
If you take me away all the pain will change into a memory of when we were amazing.

Driving in your car with the windows down and a beat up stereo.
I wanna, I’m gonna, I want to be someone.
I wanna, I’m gonna, I want to be someone.
I will run to you.
I will come to you.
I will run to you.
I will come to you.
She’s coming to get me.
She’s coming to rescue me.
Coming through the sky like a satellite, like a radio wave, a meteorite.
