**Another contest/survey thing last week was to send in Savage Garden Poems.
I only got a couple, but they were good...
============================================================
Somewhere in a galaxy in a far off land...
Where nothing else exists but the sun, the moon, the sand...
I slip into a dreamstate when I hear your your hypnotic voice...
>From your lips so soft and beautiful, so elegantly moist...
My subconcious mind plays tricks, the waves begin to dance...
It seems I've lost myself in a mesmorizing trance...
This angelic music of heaven, parody of my imagination...
To kiss the lips from which it came would be quite some sensation...
Indulging in this fantasy of happiness and joy...
I'm small and insignificant and feeling shy and coy...
I do not wish to wake from my melodic dream...
"I want to lay like this forever" and forever so it seems...
Whispering the magical things that only lovers say...
I feel so weak I don't have strength to live another day...
Melodies of passion have taken me to pure bliss...
I long now more than ever to feel your gentle kiss...
This elusive attraction, your voice, your lips, your charm...
Should I give into temptation? Nothing so angelic could ever cause me
   harm...
Drifting in your direction to your alluring kiss...
Just close enough to feel your breath then I stumble into the abyss...
Your simple song is over now, the light faded away...
It comes and goes every now and then but never wants to stay...
People seem to think that my obsession is a sin...
But what is life if I must live mine?
I'm in darkness once again...

Savage Garden rocks the house,
Never squeaky like a mouse,
Cute and fine,
Never outta line,
GO SAVAGE GARDEN!

It was only months ago that peace reigned throughout our home
Until a band named Savage Garden let themselves be known.
    Soon our quiet household had erupted into an uproar
    As Savage Garden music could be heard through every door!
Who were these two Australian guys who created such a band
That could turn our little girl into such a crazed infatuated fan??
    Truly madly deeply, to the moon and back, and more
    Had caused our dear sweet daughter to sing til her throat was sore!
How could she function normally, they were always on her mind?
Creating a web page for them was the only answer she could find.
    She spent hours designing the page and through it made many friends
    Being obssesed with Darren and Daniel was not so bad in the end.
We finally resigned ourselves to the fact that Savage Garden was here to
    stay
Good thing we like their music because we have to listen to it night and day!

PS  Hehe ~~ That poem is from my mom :-)
============================================================

**Well thanx to everyone who sent in a poem.  They were great!!

**Ok, here are the comments for this week.  Most of them are on Darren's hair,
but there are others mixed in the middle...
============================================================
OHHHHH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I MEAN IT LOOKS GOOD BUT NOT ON HIM!!!!!!
I THINK IT WOULD LOOK GOOD ON SOMEONE ELSE BESIDE OF HIM!!! DARREN WHY WHY WHY
WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY???????????? I MEAN THATS THE # 1 THING I LIKED ABOUT HIM
HIS LONG HAIR!!!!!!!!!

Savgdengrl
============================================================
I HATE THE NEW HAIRCUT!!! but of course i still love darren.....

Camilla D
============================================================
I think Darren looks cuter than he used to look (if thats possible) and Daniel
is in such a close second. And, do you think it would be going too far if we
made a club against Savage Garden haters? SG RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

============================================================
I think Darren hair cut is not in any way going to effect his music so I don't
really care about it. It is very different , he still is very cute and of
course Dan is just as cute.     SAVAGE GARDEN RULES!

============================================================
i havent seen darren's hair, and i would love to. i liked it b4. but it wont
affect the fact that he is sooooo fine and talented. thats what i think.

TURKEY24
============================================================
Now come on! Let's face it! The only way that Darren could destroy his looks
would be to just mutilate his face!  And even without his face, there would
still be the rest of him left! Hmmm...  Did that make any sense?  Well I for
one, think it looks great!  I mean not just great!  I mean like oooooooh
BABY!!  hehehe  :)  And even without his looks, is that what really matters?
I mean we know he'd still be popular and well liked for his music...and well
liked by me for numerous things *eg*  Love yah!

i like the new hair do.

I love Darren's new 'do!  It suits him well and it's just plain great!

SEVEN OZS
============================================================
I like his new haircut ALMOST as much as I liked the old one.  I still can't
beleive that he cut it all off, but It's his choice, and it still looks great!
Anyways, his hair isn't really what matters, it's their music! I still love
them to death and hope that the haircut doesn't lessen anyone's opinions of
them.  :) SG RULES!!

MEEBSTER
============================================================
about Darrens haircut, i think it looks fine it was kind of a shocker at first
but when u get used to it, it looks ok

I LOVE Darren's new Hair cut I think it looks so cute on him.

Well, that's all the comments for this week...

**On the charts this past week, TTMAB re-entered the Australian chart at
number 92 as a result of the ARIA's.  Truly Madly Deeply jumped from 42 to 35
this and Break Me Shake Me dropped one place to be at 30.

Around the world, TTMAB debuts at number 10 in Israel, number 8 in Latvia and
number 87 in Germany.  It continues to climb the Swedish charts and is
currently at number 17.

**Savage Garden is doing ANOTHER tour in Australia.  This one is called
"Future of Earthly Delites Tour."  Tickets went on sale October 1st I think.
The tour is starting on January 29 in the Cairns Convention Center and it ends
on March 6 in Coffs Harbour.  This is kinda making me mad that they're not
doing anything in the US...

**OOH I almost forgot.  I gotta make a contest/survey thing for this week.
Hmmm....  Ok,  I know ~  Send me the most BIZARRE info on either of the guys
or the entire band.  Make it weird but it HAS TO BE TRUE!!!!!!!!

I guess that's the end of the newsletter.  Sorry there's not really anything
exciting to put in here :-(  Well, I'll see ya'll later!

Savagely Yours,
Andrea (AMSports)
