A. Introduction:
 


    What's your first impression of Australia?   Kangaroo, koala, Sydney Opera, or what else?   Now please take a guess.   It is a great Australian band, which has two members.   They are not savages but polite people, and both of them hate gardening.  Can you guess who they are?   Bingle!   This great band is Savage Garden.
  
       Darren Hayes is the lyric composer and singer in the band while Daniel Jones is the music composer and electronic guitar player.   They have been good partners for many years.   Now let us tell you how they bumped into each other before.   When Daniel wanted to find a new singer for his pub, he met Darren, who had very high voice in singing.   Although Darren didn't  sing very well in the trial concert, Daniel chose him as his partner.  The fact is that Daniel had a great judgment, and they has become the proud of Australia.   Savage Garden not only creates many records in the music field, but also becomes an international famous band.

 B. The significance of their music:

 

 Darren's wonderful, tender voice mixed with Daniel's skill in playing the guitar install freshness and exciting animations into rock-and-roll.   However, Savage Garden's success is not solely based on musical creativity, the significance of their music is that they and their music concern human and the world.   They don't just sing love songs to admire and mourn romance like many other hot music bands.   There are cares and social criticisms in their lyrics about marriage violence, people's polluted souls, and loneliness in human society.   This is the main reason why we choose Savage Garden's  music and lyrics to discuss social criticisms in our web page.   We choose three lyrics from Savage Garden's two albums.   They are "Two beds and a coffee machine,"  "The animal song," and "Santa Monica."   You can see Savage Garden's care for the society in these songs.
