Gabigs, heh heh, I know how you feel. It seems that people really don't know of SG anymore, aside from the occasional tune they hear at the grocery store or in an elevator or something, at least. It's sad because while they weren't around long, they were a breath of fresh air that paved the way for a whole new scene of truly talented musicians, that also seem to have faded off since SG broke up.
And it's even better when you've been able to grow up with them because the lyrics only take on more meanings and the music only brings more and more to appreciate. While it's sad that they broke up, I'm almost glad though. If they were to get back together, they would not be the same band as both members have moved on...that was painfully obvious in their second and last album, that they were drifting apart. Darren is fabulous solo, but he alone doesn't have the spirit that Savage Garden thrived on.
In a way, I feel that those two were meant to be musical soulmates, but since they were growing apart, I think they did the right thing by breaking up when the music began to take on the notes of two people who had nothing in common.
Anyhoo, on a side note, "Mine" is a song I celebrate grandly because I feel it's the essence and backbone of Savage garden. This song says to me "This is what Darren Hayes and Daniel Jones can do when their hearts are in the same place", and the outcome is amazing.
