Crash And Burn

I love this song very much. It's helped me through some really depressing times, and I like the way the repetion of the simple guitar riff in the verses feels quite like a lullaby. Obviously this is written to soothe somebody mental, rather than physical, demons, with the "walls closing in on you" and the "monsters in your head." (Incidentally, I like the way Darren chooses "head" here rather than the more obvious ryhme of "mind," to go with "find.") I like the enduring vibe of hope in it- Darren himself says he wrote it during "one of the bleakest New York winters" which were understandably hard on him, coming from sunny Oz, and it works as a kind of positive mantra, and there's something about this song that always makes me feel cheerful, no matter how miserable I am at the start.

Beautiful song. Very inspiring.

It's a great song to listen to when you just need to brighten up and realize that things have to get worse before they get better, but just remember that they do get better. May not be soon, but they will eventually.

This song is my private haven. Whenever I feel depressed, I listen to this song, and by the end I feel deliriously happy.

when i first heard the song, i thought the line was "if you jump, i'll be ready to fall" which i think sounds better then the actual lyric but thats just me. its a good song though

I remember Darren said once that the song was about his friends, the true ones he could call up at 3 am when his life was falling apart. It's him saying "Now I want to do that for you". It's a fantastic friendsong, generally. He also mentioned something about how he wanted this song to reach out to people who couldn't pick up a pen or an instrument or whatever and express themselves, but reached for guns insead. The video gets the message of "communicate anyway, anyhow" across beautifully, which isn't something you'd think about right away if you'd just listen to the song by itself.

No words can express how deep this song is. It's kind of like an excape from my stress and it let's me know that everything will be just fine. I wish that Darren and Daniel didn't have to go seperate ways and still continued to produce more albums...but oh well.

The summer this song came out, my cousin and I would listen to it over and over, singing to each other. Well, it's been years, and we still know that we can rely on each other. It's nice to have this song as our bond. It's inspiring alone, but with my cousin, it's all the more meaningful. We still sing it, at least one time when we see each other.

i might be completely wrong or going out on a limb here, but i think this song is about suicide prevention. all throughout the video, savage garden is emphasizing communication and its importance. this could be someone with thoughts of suicide reaching out to someone, talking to someone, and getting help. this song mentions being alone, darkness, pain, and heartache, which are all things suicidal people experience and feel. in the song it mentions finding a friend and finding relief which can be achieved through counseling and help. this may be about one friend reaching out to someone with thoughts of suicide, letting them know that they are there for them and are ready to catch them if they fall. this song really means a lot and is very powerful because one friend willing to help + communication can really save a life. the song lets people with these thoughts know that they are not alone which is a big deal because it shows these people that there are others out there who care about them.

very deep, powerful song. amazingg music and lyrics. one of my favorites

i agree with ronnie, this song saved my life. the most amazing and inspiring song that kept me going when i was so god damn close to giving up. i will be eternally grateful forever.

This song is the greatest song ever written. It saved me in so many ways. My best friends wrote out the lyrics and gave them to me after i tried to kill myself and was hospitalized for depression. She is an amazing person and i will forever love her, everytime i listen to this song i think of her and how much she and this song saved me. It means more to me than anyone will ever understand. Savage Garden are my favourite band EVER full stop.
