| When Savage Garden broke up,many of us cried
our eyes out.For no use-Savage Garden`s "voice" Darren Hayes is in the best
shape of his life and came to Tallinn,Estonia with his soloalbum "Spin" on the
31st of October. You said that "crush" is
your favourite song of this album.Why?
D:Because it`s such a cool song.It has rythm and brings always a smile to my face.And the
making of the video was also fun,it reminds me my childhood in Australia. In the song you say that you wish to be eleven again.
What were you like as a child?
D:A Dreamer!In 1983 i was eleven,"Empire strikes back" was huge and
"ET" was just about to come out.Michael Jackson was my hero.I belived the
unbelievable.i was a real dreamer,i played games,sang songs ans wrote songs.No wonder i
finally got this job.
What do you offer to the audience on this tour?
D:It`s a very intimate tour.I use the same disainer,as in two previous Savage Garden
tours.This team has worked with U2.My show is very beautiful,but not like Kylie`s.I love
Kylie,but my show is more like opposite to hers.I`m on the stage few hours,sing my new
album`s songs and some Savage Garden`s hits.It`s going to be a very emotional concert.
The biggest events of your career so far?
D:I`ve written some songs which i`m proud of."Two Beds And a Coffee-machine" is
my favourite.On my new album,there`s a song "like it or Not" and it just kills
me...It`s so personal!
Are you planning to make more solo-albums?
D:Yes,i think so,it`s my job.I earn money with that.I can`t emagine,not writing music.
Is there somebody,who you would like to sing a duette with?
D:There are many of them.Sarah McLachlan,Annie Lennox...And it would be nice to sing with
Kylie.
You travel a lot,but you´re always so energetic.How do you
keep your energy and restore it?
D:I try to take care of myself.I live healthy.I don`t do drugs,don`t drink much,don`t
smoke,drink plenty of water,i also love yoghurt.Maybe it`s my enthusiasm?No matter how
tired i am,i am full of energy when i get on the stage.The audience gives me energy.
Is there something in your life you would do differently,if
you would have the chance?
D:I have no regrets.I belive that no matter what happens in life,has a cause.There are bad
momemts i everybody`s lives,but they`ll make you stronger.Every step I`ve made had lead me
to another,and if i must step back on the last one,means that you`ve learned a lesson.So
even mistakes are useful.
Which foods and drinks you miss when travelling across the
world?
D:Lately i`ve realised that laptop is the most impotrant thing,when travelling.because it
keeps mein cousre with the world.What about food and drink?I do miss healthyfood.Like in
San Francisco,there`s a restoraunt where they make me healthy salads and drinks.When away
from homei miss Ski yoghurt the most-it`s a honey-yoghurt,which i love.No-one makes better
yoghurts then australians! |
