Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and the best of luck with your solo career!! Your new album ROCKS!!!

Dear Darren, My name is Kelly. I want to wish you a Happy 30th Birthday from the bottom of my heart. I have been a fan since I saw "I Want You" on TV in 1997, but over the past two-and-a-half years I have really come to see what an important part of my life you are.

Although I was sad to see Savage Garden end, when you went solo and I joined the PA Street Team, it was one of the most important days of my life. I have found an incredibly tight group of friends who know what it's like to be touched by your music and touched by who you are as a person. They mean the world to me and I owe you my life for bringing them to me.

You are one of the most unique and inspiring artists the music world has ever seen, but I think I love Darren Hayes the Person even more than I love Darren Hayes the Pop Star. They truly broke the mold when you came in this world because there is no one quite like you on Earth. You must certainly be a gift from God. I have never known someone with a bigger heart than yours. You are intelligent, honest, compassionate, creative, and funny, among many other things. It's often difficult for me to find the words to describe all of your wonderful qualities.

The important thing is that you have brought friends into my life that I will cherish forever and that you have shared your amazing talent with all of us.

September 11 was a tragic day but I'm so glad that you survived and are still here inspiring millions. It's obvious that there is no better day than your birthday to tell you those things.

I'm proud of everything you have accomplished and I'm very proud of what you've done with Spin. There may be people in this world who don't recognize the name Darren Hayes, but I certainly do and I'll never forget it. You've touched my heart and soul in a profound way and I'm honored to have the opportunity to be a fan of yours.

I'm sending you all the hugs and good wishes for a great birthday and an even better year.
Love Always,
Kelly Kostanesky
PA Street Team




Darren,

I hope this will be a birthday full of good health, peace of mind, and happiness for you. I wish you everything good, because you bring so much joy to your fans with your music (including me). Through difficult times in my life, your music has made me smile and think that there is still beauty in this world. Your voice is incredibly beautiful, and I hope you keep sharing your music with us for years to come. I think your music stands alone as unique and creative in today's music scene. I hope that you will always be careful, and stay safe. I wish you well.

Love,
Carrie from Salt Lake City, Utah




Happy birthday Darren!

I hope you have many wonderful birthdays to come and, when you die, decades from now, I hope you are reborn into an even better life. You deserve every good thing that comes your way!

Love Rachel from California

well have a happy birthday and don't forget to stop in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania on your tour...and maybe you could throw me in some front row tix or a backstage pass...*L* just kidding...i know you can't do that...all that matters to me is that i get to see your show and you keep making such wonderful and profound music. I wanted you to know that i have a very odd and rare item of savage garden and went through a lot to get it, if that shows you how big of a fan of you and sg i am. Well i have to be going now and i know you have tons of letters to read so...maybe i will run into you one day if i ever get the chance to live my dream of visiting australia, *LOL* i know you don't live there but i know you're there a lot...well have fun and be safe on your birthday and god has truly blessed you. You are a wonderful person and have a very special meaning to everyone.

Dear Darren,

I am a 49 year old woman from Montana. I fell in love with your voice and music at my daughter's house when she popped in your debut CD... The rest is history. I loved you with Savage Garden..I love you as much as a solo artist. The music you have written alone has touched me. Your ballads win my heart. Crush carries me back to the 80's. Good Enough reminds me of my mom who has been gone so many years. I cannot choose a favorite on this CD because it changes daily and I love them all. You lift me up 8^). Your music has been with me thru health issues with surgeries. It has made my bad times seem not so bad..It has made my good times great. My life would not be the same without your voice and the incredible words. I hope someday I can look you in the eyes and say thank you.

I want to say Happy 30th Birthday. I hope it rings in with so much Love, Happiness, and all good things for you. Your voice and music is like a gift and a birthday present every day to me. I hope you find the many blessings you deserve. I hope you get back some of the Love and Joy you have given the world and me. You are amazing and thank youfor sharing your gift of song with us. Because of you I have made friendships to last a lifetime all over the world! Thank you Darren, never change, you're perfect the way you are!

A devoted fan,

"Happy Birthday to you…
Happy Birthday to you…
Happy Birthday dear Darren…
Happy Birthday tooooo yooouuuuuu!"

The previous song was brought to you courtesy of the Darren Hayes Street Team, California chapter.

So, Darren. Getting older, huh? Me too. Just had one of them birthday-things not too long ago. (April 15th, to be exact. Aries in da’ house!) Everyone bugging me about how old I am now and how I don’t look my age and stuff like that, so I’ll spare you the same torture. So, what I’m going to do is make up for all the Un-Birthday’s we missed. *big squishy hug* There. That should hold you over until next year about this time. You know where to collect. Happy day and have fun and stay awesome and may Happiness find you. (Stop hiding from her, Happiness is one cool chick. )

Love always,
Laura (a.k.a. SmallFlower), San Diego, CA, USA

I would just love to say Happy Birthday Darren.

You bring such happiness into people's lives with your music including mine. I must listen to at least one of your songs each day and it makes my day so much better. I have not yet taken Spin out of my cd player since the day it came out. Thankfully I work in a music store where I get a discount so I could buy more of your great work.

Hey Darren,

how are you doing? well, first of all I would like to mention some honest feelings I always wanted to express...:). First, you are the most amazing human being all over the world, I would say an angel with a human being cover...:) Thanx for all your talent and everything you are able to tansmit through your music, is a unique quality that is not so easy to find in someone...:) You got the gift, so never forget that because stars are bright because of what they have inside..energy, happiness and more important, life...:) hey, I would give my place away in heaven just to even, once in my life, get the chance to meet you, honestly, but, just a comment... :) And, last but not least.......! H A P P Y 30 B I R T H D A Y D A R R E N !
It was a little long, but honestly hope you like this little message I wrote with every feeling of my heart... :)

Hi Darren. I wanted to ask...does the world look different when you wake up on your 30th birthday? Do you see it through half-closed eyes? Things feel heavier, more substantial, like maybe gravity got more intense overnight?
The world wants us to grow up. Oh joy.
Put on things like mortgages, insurance, 401k's, golf shoes.....which aren't all that bad when they actually fit, but are mostly just annoying! But can you still sing out loud in the shampoo aisle of Walgreen's? Can you have a whole conversation with just a smile? Eat dessert first? Believe that Mt. Tam is an Indian princess lying with her head in the clouds and her feet in the Bay? (You'd think she'd have hypothermia by now...!)
Yes? Then there's still hope! It's a milestone, you see..but it doesn't have to be a millstone!
Have a wonderful birthday, Darren. Hugs. Toblerone. All-day breakfast~!
Love, Catriona



Happy Birthday Darren

Lots of Love
Jenny & Nicole.




Dear Darren,

Darren.

Here were are for another year and you're still inspiring and improving so many people's lives. Well thank you for improving so many things in mine. My life hasn't been the same since i discovered you and your music. THANKYOU! And thank you to all the people around you who help make you who you are. Whoops nearly forgot...Happy Birthday!

love always
Lucy (luvindarren), UK




Darren,
Your music is so special to me I can't even tell you with words. It has soothed and saved me so many times...from my very first heart ache (you'll breathe again, you'll breathe again) to my darkest hour (all you gotta do is choose life). "Affirmation" is the most beautiful song I've ever heard, it lifts me up whenever I listen to it. "I Miss You" is my favorite song because I can imagine you singing my name towards the end, it sounds like you say "Donelle." (You can hear it at the exact time 4:42.) You sing like an Angel.
I wrote a poem for you a while back. It's not nearly as eloquent as I'd like, but it captures the basic feeling. I wrote it before you became known...just so you know that you weren't always the man without a name. Heehee :)
You give me your wonderful, wonderful music and I give you my most heartfelt admiration. You deserve to be the happiest man alive because you are beautiful through and through. I hope you make music forever so I have something to comfort me. Whenever you're feeling down, please remember you're loved because I will always be here to love you. I'll pray that God lights your world with joy and that the rest of your dreams are realized. Have a Happy 30th Birthday! (wink) And don't party too hard!
Love, Donelle

DARREN HAYES
Every time I hear your beautiful voice,
I am overwhelmed by the sheer talent
and my heart flutters with rejoice.
Ah, with such passion you vent!
Your love ballads make my heart ache.
Your "anger songs" grip my mind.
The sadder lyrics make my heart break.
Your gift should never be confined.
If more people had such a gift,
the world would be pure beauty.
Set your heavenly voice adrift.
Bless us, it's your duty.
I know you've been hurt,
I know you've experienced love,
for our words can be both lovely and pert.
You've felt more than I can conceive of.
It's all told to me when you sing.
I can "feel" what's in your soul.
Your voice is amazing, it can take wing...
and it makes me feel whole.

Donelle Aloysia Warren

Happy 30th to a great man

This is Susi from the U.K. Myself, my daughters, Amy and Mia and my best mate Scott are sending you these birthday wishes. We hope you have a wonderful day because you certainly deserve to. Being a Taurean you have a great outlook for 2002 and you certainly have come in with a fantastic bang! Keep the good work up but please make sure you rest too because you also deserve that. I never got to see Savage Garden in concert and I nearly got to see you at the Maida Vale studios but sadly couldn't make it but I am first in line to see you when you start touring, in the UK anyway.
There is not 1 song I don't like on Spin and my daughter Amy knows most of the lyrics already. Mia is still singing along to Savage Garden songs. As for me, I am always singing to all of them and harmonizing. Your voice, the music, touches my soul and I just love singing along with you. I used to be the lead singer of 2 bands and if I could write lyrics like you do then I would be a very happy bunny.

Anyway I hope you have a lovely birthday and enjoy your day. Lots of love and cuddles and big kisses, (sloppy ones from Mia),
All the best xxxxxxxxxxx

Darren ~

Hunni, you're 30!! You're a big boy now *grins*. I could yakker on forever about how you and your music has changed my life but I am going to force myself to be brief or as brief as I can be *hehe*. With your music, you coaxed me out of this world, took me to another place, made me feel something and helped me deal with this world and all my problems. I'd like to say thank you to destiny for being with us on April 20th and meeting you and seeing you perform at Radio 2. I might not have said it but I truely do love you and if you'd seen how big my grin was on that day, then you'd know how happy you'd made me. So on this special day - May 8th, celebrate the fact that you were born and you have been a positive influence on so many people's lives. Happy Birthday babe. Enjoy this day and remember it's all about youuuuuu.
I'll finish off with a poem I wrote that I would have given ya at radio 2 had my head not been so in the clouds *hehe*: Though you will have to excuse the ending.

I want that rush in my spine,
I want to be in a place where there's no time,
I want to be taken over,
devoured completely by you,
you honestly don't have a clue,
how indebted I am to you.

The tears flow from my heart,
Your voice penetrates me like a dart,
We're beating together in time,
there's no mountain we can't climb,
you take me away from all this,
to a place where there is only bliss.

Can a piece of you flow through me?
(you enquire)
well can't you see,
you take me higher,
flying through church spires,

Was that too long? Like you said in the Spin liner notes who cares! :)
*huge hugs*
Love ya

Darren,

Your music has inspired me so much for the longest time. Every time I hear your singing, yes, a piece of you and your simple tune can flow through me. I'm so thankful for your music being there for me at any time in any emotion I'm going through. You are one of my role models, right up there with Bono and Paul McCartney. If I could be even more cheesy right now, let me just use an N*Sync line (hey, no shame) and say "God must have spent a little more time on you". Oh, and (as if no one has said it yet...)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :)

With love,
Katherine

Happy 30th Birthday Darren

30 years ago when I was a college Freshman a song came out that I could never quite understand...its name ..."Killing Me Softy with His Song"...I do not remember the artists name...but the idea was that this young guy got all the emotions, feeling and reactions of this lady right and put them into words so the whole world now knew her life...I remember being in a car in the college parking lot between classes listening to my radio and thinking about that song...how absurd...what guy, 20 years younger than a grown woman, could "know" all her inner feelings, her joys, heartaches and aspirations...AND...be able to put them into words...well I have always said God has a great sense of humor...around the time I was listening to that song...Darren was being born.

I honestly KNOW how a guy 20 years my junior can do that...I don't know what inspires him....but I feel God put a magic in Darren...and his Music answered my 30 year old question about that song...

THANKS DARREN for putting my life to music...it really helps....
Happy 30th b-day.........love and HUGS, bar (Betty Ann from New York)

Dear Darren,

Happy birthday! When you were born thirty years ago today, your bright smile, warm personality, and sparkling eyes made the world a better place. Many of us were not graced with your talent and beauty until a few years ago, but we are glad to be here with you for your special day today.

In honor of your birthday, several members of the Pennsylvania street team got together for "Darren Fest 2002" in Hershey, PA. One of our members (Marci) even had a cake made with your picture on it. We also made a present for you, which we look forward to handing you in person the next time you are in our neck of the woods. So please stop by soon!

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you from the bottom of all of our hearts for bringing together such a fantastic group of people. This particular team is a very tight-knit group of friends and we have you to thank for the joy we gain from one another. As we celebrate your birthday, we celebrate our friendships as well.

Best of luck to you for a fantastic year!
We love you HEAPS!

Dear Darren,

Happy 30th birthday! On this special day I want to take the time to thank you so much for being a part of my life. Your music touches me in more ways than I can say and so much good has come to me thanks to you. In addition to enjoying the healing powers of your songs, I have met some of my nearest and dearest friends through your music. My life would not be the same without them or you in it.

I hope you have a spectacular year, filled with great music, great friends, and great times. With all you give of yourself to your fans, no one deserves eternal bliss more than you do. :-)

All my love always,

Dear Darren!

I am writing to wish you Happy Birthday! My name is Anna, I am from Russia and I am your fan for a long time already. I want to say so many things to you but I am not sure that I have enough words to do it. But I will try!
This year you are 30 and I guess this is important date for you! And so my wishes are supposed to be usual, I think. Word that I will say may seem simple but they are sincere!
Please, be HAPPY! I think, this is the most important thing in life - to be happy. I wish you to meet a woman who will love you for the rest of your life and who will be your love and your wife! And of course I wish you to have as many children as you want to have!
Also I wish you to be healthy (as I am going to be a doctor, I think that every person should pay attention to his health!)
I wish you to have great success in your music (although you are ALREADY very successful! Your album is very popylar in Russia!) Your album is so amasing! These songs are the best songs that I have ever heard in my life! I am sure that "Spin" is not your last solo album and every song that you wiil write in the future will be as good as all songs that you have already written! Every your song is like a soundtrack to my own life, your words help me to find answers to so many difficult questions! Thank you so much for all you are doing! You are great!

With all my love and best wishes, Anna.



Dear Darren!

I guess I can start simple: Happy Birthday! These are the words that all Russia and me tell you. This is your day in the world!

I want you to know how much you ve done to me. You really changed my world! You showed me the person I want to be and thanks! What else can I say? THANK YOU! I wish you to be the happiest person, to find your true love (of course, you will find it), to become a daddy and to become the best singer in the world, although you are))))))

Happy Birthday! Thirty is a wonderful age! You are wonderful! Be happy and take care!

Helene. Russia.

Hi Darren!

Hope you have a wonderful time celebrating the big "3-0" birthday. It is quite a milestone, along with your many acheivements, just the beginning of a bright and beautiful future.

Just want to say this L.A. girl thinks you are an awesome songwriter, performer and all-around great person.

All the best to you, and please have a concert here soon!

Love,
Jane N



Hi Darren!

Happy 30th Birthday! :) I hope you're excited, because all of your fans are!

I just want to tell you how wonderful "Spin" is. I loved absolutely every song that Savage Garden had ever recorded, so it was a little different to hear you performing R&B and dance songs instead of the usual pop/rock I was used to hearing. But all of the songs are incredible - I won't go on forever, so believe me when I say they are all FANTASTIC. Can't wait to see you live with this record! You also seem to be one of the sweetest and funniest people on Earth, after I've heard so many of your interviews and read your journal entries. Every time I do, it helps to brighten my day a little bit more.

I also want to mention that I have met some great people online from around the globe who share my love for your music. Especially through the DH Street Team. I am a proud member and leader of the Massachusetts team, and our team just can't seem to stop talking about anything! *lol* So not only thank you for the beautiful music you have created and for being who you are, but for indirectly introducing to some very special people.

Once again, I hope you have a great birthday, Darren!

Love, Sara from Massachusetts



I just want to wish you -Darren- Happy Birthday, and I also want to thank you for the greate preformance at the Blue Moon Bar in Stockholm.
Happy happy 30th birthday, I promise you that life is just getting better and better as the years come along (im 38).

Best wishes....Inga from Sweden.



Just a note to wish our favourite man all the VERY VERY BEST WISHES for his 30th birthday. May he receive the richest blessings on his life because he truly deserves it.

He gives ALL of his fans,those he's met and those he hasn't, the greatest pleasure by his music, there really is NO-ONE quite like our Darren. BLESS YOU SWEETHEART.

Hello Darren!

Remember me?The girl u met at blue moon bar in stockholm tuesday 30th of april?I gave u that "sausy" letter..hehe..Just want to wish you a happy birthday!!Are you gonna send me an e-mail,or what?? :) Anyway,I hope you´ll have the greatest time,in the middle of all the everyday stress,must be exhausting!

Lots of kisses.......from Julie!! :) :) :)



Happy Birthday Darren,

Let nothing afflicts
Your soul never!
Let everywhere you everyone meet
By rough pleasure always!

Let to you the sun brightly shines,
Let good luck attends always,
And, to all gifts by it,
Let to you the happiness will fly!!!

With love always,
Julianna G. (Krasnodar, Russia)



Dear Darren,

I wish I could give you something special for your birthday, something more than words, but I don't even know what to say to such a wonderful person, you. I respect and admire you so much, and I thank you because you give me dreams when the only things I can find inside myself are fears, and this is the most precious gift I've ever had, a gift which I receive through your music, your voice, your words, an enormous gift which changes into something else as soon as it reaches my heart, and it becomes love, and I send it back to you. Because, even if you don't know me personally, just remember that you've got a friend on the other side of the globe, a friend who derives joy from your joy, who feels sad at the very thought of you being sad, and who tries to support you as much as she can. I wish you health, peace inside your soul, happiness inside your heart and lots of love all around you.

Happy birthday, Darren
Maria from Venice, Italy

Melissa(GoodEnough4Darren on the BBS)



Dear Darren,

You are so special, so adorable! And I am grateful to have discovered your amazing music back in 1997. I remember talking about TRULY MADLY DEEPLY with someone and I told them that it was quite wonderful to hear a beautiful melody again... your melody and pure vocal ability drew me in forever. I shared my love for your music with all of my acquaintances at work and even took a special trip (from Washington where I live) with my 'boss', who knew I adored your music, to look for CDs in Vancouver, B.C.! I had heard of songs via the internet that I did not have and I was DETERMINED to find them.

Ever since those early days of being a fan, my sister Carrie, and I have shared your music with so much relish and happiness. We came to your concerts in Vancouver, B.C., Seattle, and Portland for the Affirmation Tour. And when you made the symbol of a heart with your hands, I could feel very much, that you love us who are your fans...

We love you too, Darren, for the sweet, sincere fellow that you are, for all the hard work to give us great music... SPIN is fabulous!! I got it when it was first released and have listened over and over. The video clip for INSATIABLE is one of the most romantic clips that I have ever seen, and now I am so looking forward to the clip for STRANGE RELATIONSHIP. Hoping to hear you sing live with your new band and incredibly cool new songs is something to dream about and happily anticipate!

If I could sum it up 'in a nutshell' Darren? You have brought so much joy to my life and I thank you for every second of that joy.

HAPPY HAPPY, JOY JOY! HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY Darren!!
from Susie Oliver.......'Tootiedo' on the BBS



HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY DARREN!!!

Darren:

Wow! I can't still believe I'm really writing this... It's quite bizarre, I mean, what could someone like me say to someone like you? I'm only 16. I'm just an ordinary girl. Hmmm... I know this maybe sounds uncool, but I'm sending this to you to say HAPPY BITHDAY!!! I hope you really enjoy it, but not just today; I wish you happiness for the rest of your life, for the next 30 years, and more! I'm not so good at showing my feelings, I just wanted you to know that you and your music are very special to me. I won't say I'm your #1 fan, because there are thousands of girls that have done a lot of really significant things because of you; much more that I cuold ever do. I just can say that I don't care some people call me crazy because I'm sending a birthday message to a guy I've never met in my life. I wanted to do this because you're an amazing man, you've a great talent, and I really like you just the way you are. Believe me, some of your songs have had an special effect on me and most of your music is playing inside my head everyday. It has the power of making me feel alive in so many ways. I'll always thank God for creating such a wonderful human being like you and letting me listen to your great songs. Darren: YOU RULE!!!

Peace, Love, Faith, Harmony, Truth & Beauty
With all my heart,
Paola from Mexico City. Little Crush on the BBS

Dear Darren,

we are aware that you'll be receiving thousands of various types of greetin= gs on your 30th birthday. Hope you'll spare your precious time to read ours, too, because this message comes from our heart and soul. Initially we (daughter and mother) want to tell you that all your songs inspired, are inspiring and will always inspire us. Your music touches us deeply and helps us in various situations in life. Listening to your music makes us cry and laugh. We appreciate your honesty, frankness and your humanity. Not forgettingyour angelic voice and your overwhelming appearence like an angel. Did you know the eyes are the mirror to one's soul?

So here's our message to you:

*If someone does something wrong to you through his ignorance or missunderstanding, that is the most opportune time for you to show your wisdom and religious understanding. When others do wrong to you, you must regard their action as an opportunity for you to develop your patience and sympathy. Sometimes, people try to take advantage of your tolerance and = patience as signs of weakness. So, Darren, that is the time for you to act wisely without becoming a victim to such cunning people.*

We wish you good health, true friends, peace, harmony and success in your solo-career.
We always think of you in our meditations.
In order to recognize the real inner voice you should carefully check if it= is intuition or fantasy.

We adore you, Darren!
Your devoted fans from Germany,
Devika (daughter) and Sarangie (mother)



Dear Darren, have the greatest B-day!!!

Make It A Birthday To Remember! Pamper yourself. Hug a friend. Let friends hug you back. Sing your own praises. Try something new. Make a long list of your own worries (then crumple it up and throw it away!). Smile. Laugh. Giggle sing out loud. And most of all, celebrate the wonderful, unique person you are because you are someone wonderful to so many!

And I'll pray for you health and success.

Sincerely, Irina, Russia



Dear Darren!.
Having your songs and your music in my life have meant more to me than you will ever know. And your birthday gives me a perfect opportunity to say thank you for everything you ve done and to wish you all the kindest things, which the world can only give: joy, happiness, health and love. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In such a day it s perfect chance
Express my heartfelt thanks to you,
I wish that quiet spring romance
Will surely make your dreams come true.

I know that charming of your songs
Has touched the strings of people s hearts,
The deep, sincere and magic words
Will stay in soul, won t leave apart.

So let the words make up to rhymes,
The rhymes to lines, the lines to poems,
And let the love fill deepest eyes
Of man who is deserving!

The guiding star will shine forever
The sailing ship will never stop,
You ll find your happiness for ever
And fill my world with so much hope!

Thank you, dear Darren, for being such a positive influence in life! God bless the way you re going!

P.S. Sorry for the mistakes. Actually I m not good in English, but I keep studying, trying and believing.



Heaven and harmony, calmness and peace
Are all the magnificent feelings you give,
Plus passionate words, that woke up my soul,
Plenty fatigued and tired of all.
Your endless support and encourage in songs

Breathe in the willingness to live and hold on?
In spite of the split of your wonderful duo
Ravishing melodies are still in your songs,
That?s why I wish I could thank you and, knowing
How much important 8th May for me is?
a Day, which gave birth to belief, love and hope
And everything else, that your music still gives,
Yes, I would like to devote you these lines,

Dreaming, that all I will wish won't decline?
Anyway, that's what I thought up to wish:
Rarely to feel you're in a bad mood,
Really to reach what you called ?fatherhood?,
Ever to sense you're warmed by close friends,
Never to feel you?re estranged or outraged.

PS! if you read the first letters of each line (exept for one which doesn't start from the capital letter, here you'll have to take the second one) you'll read the phrase:"Happy birthday Darren!"

So long you're waiting for this day.
And finally became it.
It's like the sun is shining brighter
And whole thw world is at your feet.

It's like in the sky there are more star,
But among them is the only one
Wherever on this land you are
For you it onle shines.

It brings the happiness to you,
It helps when you're in a misfortune.
Today its cold and faded light
Directed straight on you.

To it let bring the fortune for you,
To it let make your pipe dreams true.
And in your 30th day of birth
Look at the sky atetntively.

Olya from Latvia.

Darren,

Have a wonderful birthday.....I will try to make this short and sweet.(but, I may fail)...Your lyrics are sheer poetry to me.....uplifting, thoughtful and sincere. I appreciate the honesty in your music (I know sometimes it can't be easy). It's what keeps me coming back again and again....I love SPIN....you sound very at home in that sound!! and Crush...well, does the word flashback mean anything to you? lol....Your music has entertained me so much over the last 5 1/2 years.....I couldn't begin to express that to you.....I hope to meet you one day to tell you that in person :) but, I just want you to know that I get "It" and it's all about the music......

btw, how do you feel about older women? hahaha j/k.....(I'm not that much older) :)

Have a wonderful 30th Birthday.......it only comes once!!
Huge Hugs.......Marci, Maryland

**Happy Birthday buddy! Hope you have a great day. Oh, and when did you say you were coming to Perth? ..sorry, I forgot:o)

Lots of love
Jeannie.

Ps: I just love Strange Relationship! Great stuff.**



Wow. To be turning 30 and to have already achieved so much in such a short time. SPIN is absolutely fantastic, as is everything you have done. Music has always been such a huge part of my life but I let it lapse for medical reasons. One night I had a dream that you and I were having a conversation about music. You told me that I had to get back into singing again, that it was what I needed to heal. I did what you said and now I sing every week and I have never forgotten what you told me in that dream. "Your problems don't exist when the music feels like this."

So HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARREN! Enjoy your day. Come back to Brisbane soon!
Love Gaby Ricketts(and Georgia 6 and Olivia 3) Brisbane, Australia.



Darren... what can I say? Turning 30 was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Your heart, your body, your mind grows stronger as the numbers 3 and 0 combine. Never look back, except to fondly remember; and always look forward so that you can embrace what the future has waiting for you. A soul like yours deserve everything this life, this world has to offer. Encompass it all within you and embrace the good, learn from the bad, and experience the sad. That makes you who you are. Happy 30th Darren.

My attatchments thing wont work, but please, please, please, please, please!!!!! tell him a girl called lauren nicholson loves him, i know you get emails like this all the time, but when i was 12 (i am 14 now)i felt like no one in the world cared for me, or loved me and i almost killed myself. but when i heard CRASH AND BURN and the sound of his beautiful voice, it comforted me and ever since, i keep thinking that darren is there and he is almost a friend to me by the way he sings and the words of his songs, it just, it helps me get through. I dont feel that no one loves me, it helped me realise, not just CRASH AND BURN, but him, the way he is. Just please, let him now, or show him this, because i love his voice and the way he is, (and he is SO cute) but also tell him Happy Birthday.

regards

Hi Darren,
Happy 30th birthday to the best singer around! Hope you have a wonderful day. What can I say but thank you for your beautiful voice, your beautiful music and being the beautiful person you are. Without your talent around our world would be a sadder place. I have been a huge Savage Garden fan since day 1, and now your solo work is proving to be just as amazing. I saw you in Manchester with Savage Garden and my daughter and I came out with huge grins on our faces that lasted for weeks. Please tour soon. We and the rest of your millions of fans need something to look forward to. Spin is just brilliant! Insatiable - wow!!! Your voice is the best around. And to top it all, you are one sexy guy. Thank you for being you!

Hello Darren!! I'm Adriana from La Paz, Mexico

It was unusual for me how I knew about you, and ever since then I've been a fan. You've brought a new light and hope to my life with your music. That's why I want to thank you today. I'm glad you are so romantic. We need love and tenderness in this world. I'd like so much to meet you one day!
Take care.
PS. I like it better in natural blond!!



Hey Darren my sweet angel

I wish you the best birthday ever with the things that you wanna do on your special day.
I only wish that I could give you one *Huge Birthday-Hug* and one *Huge Hug* to thank you for everything that you have done for me through your music.

I love them very much! Thank you for everything you do. I guess, I can't write all I want, my english is not so good:)

Forever your fan Dasha

Dear Darren,

When you were a child, you used to go out in your yard to look for the faeries. Judging by the magical spell your music has woven around my heart, I'd say they found you.

My question is: Now that you are a 30 year old "grown up" do you still look for them? I know I do..

My birth day wish is for you to have a magical year where all of your hopes and dreams are fulfilled-and then to have the next year be an even better one.

Happy 30th Darren- Hurry back to the states we miss you so much here...

Hey Darren!

Happy 30'th and keep up with the great work! Another 3 years and I'll be your age....I guess time flies! Anyway, it is really great to listen to music which promotes the feeling of hope, love, happiness and even a sort of groovy lust...*LOL*, I've been a fan of yours and your music ever since Savage Garden, and all I can say is that you really have alot to be proud of! You didn't just have the luck to have been found at the time (be at the right place to the right time and all), but also had and still have the talent as well!! Which is the most important, really! Just proves what is possible if you believe in yourself! While you still were a part of Savage Garden I have to admit I missed seeing you in Germany while I lived there, but now I am living in Pittsburgh, PA, and can hardly wait till you go on tour! You better make a stop here!! *LOL* ;o) Anyway, have fun, live long and prosper ...oops, me reciting Mr Spock again....hahahahaha!! (Sorry, but I LOVE Star Trek...& also the New Generation of it)

Hugz, and take care......and whatever you do......remember your roots, how you started and keep your love and positivity alive! Keep up your faith and believe that it all has a deeper meaning.

Love Always,
Denise Giachos



Darren,

At last, an oportunity to tell you how you have touched my life. When I didn't believe in mankind, your lyrics made me question. When I was low, your melodies made me high. When I wanted to scream at the world, I danced instead, throwing my hands in the air, Can you feel it???? And I did, and I cried tears of joy instead of pain, and the darkness became bright, bringing me back down to earth, and I basked quietly in the good of the day.

So, today is for you. The sun in the sky, is for you. Can you feel it! Can you feel it! And you did, and you knew that what you were feeling, was the whole world smiling.

Happy Birthday!

Dearest Darren,

Oh and a huge thank you from the fans in Switzerland for the Showcase you gave. It was fantastic. We love you!

Take care

Dear Darren,
Thanks for the great last years thanks for every day you're making music and share it with your fans! I had a lot of hard days the last years and your voice and the sound of savage garden were the only things that helped me through!!! Thanks!!! You'll never know what you'd done for me.

when I heard that you're doing solo, I don't know almost one and a half year ago?, I waited so hard for your new songs. I made my whole family and my friends totally crazy *g*! and when I first heard insatiable I was blown away! WOW! It's so incredible! The sound is different from sg but I love it! Everytime I hear the song I'm getting hot*g*! if I have to describe what I feel and think while listen to insatiable and others of course, like dirty or what you like *g* no comment!

Unfortunately I was never able to go to a sg-concert, because I never had enough money to travel to hamburg or cologne (I was a poor student *g*) but I hope that this time you'll come to my hometown hanover while your tour.

But now HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! (numbers arent important!!! You're looking like!!!maximum!!!):-) I hope the sun shines where you are and that only nice people are around you for celebrating this special day!!! I didn't make you a cream cake, because everyone knows what you do with cream cakes *gggg*

A lot of hugs and kisses
Kim from Germany (aka kangarookimmy on bbs and member of the [DHSCG] )

I actually want to say something that nobody haven't told you yet, but I just can't come up with anything. Well, I can let you know what you not gonna do on your birthday. If you don't do anything on this list, I'm sure you'll have a great birthday :-)
Loads of Hugs from a Very Big Fan.
Hope to see you soon again here in Stockholm, and that you didn't got scared the last time :-)
Love Moa
( Just a reminder. Don't forget that you are NOT supposed to do these things on the list... ok? )

1) Say that you don't want to be celebrated
2) Tell everyone that they aren't allowed to bring presents
3) Wear sunglasses
4) Wear dirty underwear
5) Don't you have a great time!!!!!

Hope your 30th birthday is the happiest =) You deserve all the *big squeezy hugs* you can get and all the chocolate you can eat. Thanks for what you do. You're such an inspiration! Do you realize how many people you've brought together?! I have some of the most amazing friends b/c of you (and I can think of one in particular who does SO MUCH on the friend and fan front, putting things like this together...she's worth her weight in GOLD!)...I'm so lucky to have met such beautiful people....

We can't wait to see you in Arizona, Darren :) Now, when were you coming to sing at the school where I'm teaching so you can help me authorize a field trip to see you? ;)

Take care, Darren.

Hello, Darren!

I'm printing this letter and my hands are trembling because I never thought I'd ever right to you personally. But I think you'll understand what I want to say in spite of my bad English. =)

So, I don't think that's a surprise that I want to congratulate you with you 30th birthday! =) It's really the date. I don't know how it feels like - being 30, but you look much younger. =) You are as handsome as you were in the beginning of your career but after you shortened your hair. I wish you not to get older and change your haircut as you did before, because it's real fun - discussing "what new has Darren made with his hair".

Firstly, be healthy, because you job means being healthy - how can man sing being sick? =)))
Secondly - the greatest wishing - keep writing such melodious music and such incredible lyrics. You know, they're really very personal, they touch every string of your heart, they help to discover yourself and to solve problems. The first thing I do when I feel all alone - I turn on your amazing songs. I wish you to keep writing such songs! And, of course, to sing you songs with your marvellous, charming voice. =)

Also I wish to re-unit with Daniel... I don't mean you became worse since "Savage Garden" had broken up! But you were the two people who complemented each other in everything.

Happy bithday!
Your sincere and devoted fan,
Galina,

Dear Darren,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! *^_^* (Don't worry, I won't sing or it's sure you're going to block your ears!)

30 already! It's just freaky to think that you could be one of my cousins with this age (2nd or 3rd oldest)! Anyway...

On a more serious note, it's not everyday that such an event occurs in a lifetime, so profits fully of the day and for the time to come... We don't know what life is going to bring the next day, next week, next month, next year, etc.

Besides, I hope that you'll pass by Montreal soon (radios here DO need to be shaken, the least I can say)... We MISS you here! If my sister and I have the occasion, you have good chances to see us once again! (I know, it's been a LONG time! and I still have this accent!)

That's all for me... Go party now! I wish you all the best! ^_^v
Take care!

hi darren!!!

i hope you have a wonderful birthday and eat enough cake for ALL of us!! (hehe!!) can't wait for the tour, i went to the savage garden concert in 2000 (my very first concert ever!) and i didn't really quite know what to expect...how you...or any musician did concerts for that matter. but you filled that place with so much love, and i left that night with this very wonderful feeling of warmth. thank you for that gift :)

love,

Stephanie Andes, Pittsburgh PA - I send lots of love from here in the Burgh. I hope your 30th is the best ever; I am sure it will be. You're one step closer to 40...but hey, it's all good, you are not over the hill yet. ;) Anyways, the fans still love ya.



Dear Darren,
Happy birthday, it's the big 3-0! :) I hope you have a wonderful one and many more to come. You've inspired me in so many ways throughout the past five years. I can relate to so many of your songs. I'm going through a very bad breakup right now, it's been a little over a month and it still hurts.. your new CD helps me more than you could imagine. It makes me laugh, it makes me cry, it truly moves me. I would love to meet you one day.. I can't tell you enough times how much your words mean to me. Have a great birthday and keep giving us wonderful music!
Best wishes,

Happy 30th! Hope this is the best one yet and you get all your wishes granted. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to your fans and to your craft.

Darren,

I hope your 30th is the best yet. Enjoy every moment of it! Other than that, there's just one thing I hope that all of these birthday messages tell you: all of the people here have been touched in one way or another by the amazing music you've created. And even though we're from all different countries, like different things, and have different lifestyles, we have come together and made a connection because we all really love the music that you've made. How cool is that? :-D So have a ton of fun on your special day (and every day for that matter), and thanks for sharing your creations with us. We're pretty glad you do.

Much <3, *Lauren*

Darren,
Well, what can I say? The big 3-0. Kinda scary, isn't it? Let me just tell you, you only look like you just hit the big 2-0, so by the time you're 60, you'll look like you're 40. So, how does it feel to know that in just 30 years you've touched millions and millions of people's hearts with your music? Imagine what you can do in another 30 years! Just to share this with someone who can relate, I just got tickets for "Star Wars: Episode 2" for the midnight showing on Wednesday night/Thursday morning at the ONLY theater in South Florida that's showing the movie that early. I can't wait! Actually, the theater is going to be near BillboardLive, the club where I met you on March 16 at the Open House Party interview. Everytime I pass by there, the memories keep flooding back. I still beat myself up (figuratively speaking, of course) for not getting the courage up to ask you for your email address. So I'm going to take this opportunity to tell you that my email address is happyhappy101@yahoo.com, my AIM screen name is happyhappy101, and my number is.... Hahahaha. So if you ever need someone to talk to or just someone who'll listen to you, then feel free to give me a buzz. Happy birthday, and many more!

P.S. Next time you come down here (and I get the chance to see you), I'm going to give you these two CD's that are absolutely fantastic, and I'm sure you're gonna love them. Andru Donalds and Claude Challe. Consider it a late birthday present. :-)



Happy Birthday Darren! You're so talented and I'm really glad you've brought it into our world. It's really awesome that you care about your music as well as your fans. I can't wait to see you on tour, please don't skip over Minnesota!!

Hi Darren!
Since everybody else is saying pretty much what I was going to say, it's pointless for you to read the same thing over and over, so I just wanted to wish you a truly happy birthday on behalf of myself, my cousin Ames, and all of Canada!
Just remember to always hold your head high (you're older now, so you have more experience! Ahahaha!) and never let people hold you down; always be yourself (see what happens when you start out by dying your hair black?), and do whatever you think feels good. =^)
Since you're probably skimming this anyways (if not skipping over it altogether), I'll just wrap up now. Have the happiest birthday ever with even better ones to come!
Love from Faith Miao in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
P.S. Come to Canada sometime soon, please! (preferably after exams though)



Happy Birthday, Darren!
With time comes wisdom, and although you have learned much in life...there is still so much more to learn, earn, and accomplish! I wish you the best every day, and especially today, on the day we celebrate your birth. Remember, every day is another God gives us to live and to make a difference. You have already made such a difference in so many people's lives, and you can see that when your songs touch others. You can see it just by the response from your birthday. However, there is so much more out there, I know you will take advantage of it, and no matter what, I am proud of you. To make a difference in one person's life is truly a miracle. Darren, you're a faraway miracle in my life, but a miracle nonetheless. Every blessing counts and you have brought so many to my life. I am so thankful for Cindy and that she is doing this not only for you, but for us...for me. To wish you a GREAT BIRTHDAY is only a small part of my thanks to you. I only wish I was better with words, so I could truly express how you have touched so many, especially myself, but I guess this will have to do...until maybe I can express them in person. Hopefully until then there will always be Cindy or someone like her to relay our simple messages of love and gratitude for you. Hopefully we can return the favor by providing you with more inspiration.
Live each day to the fullest...I know you will.
Love Always,
Johannah

P.S. A wise man once told me what I will say below, and for him I would like to say the same:
"Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone."



Happy Birthday to the most Gorgeous guy in pop. We all Love You Darren, have a lovely day! You're my dream, You're my wish, You're my fantasy....

Love Violet XXXX

ps Thankyou for naming a song after me... (Violet!)



Darren, with all the stars out in the sky on your special day...I just wanted to say to you, that I hope someday all your wishes come true...about wanting a wife, and a family...I hope that extraordinary person comes along, you fall madly in love with her, and everything you have worked for, and achieved in your life- would make your wish be more fulfilling, more soulful. I hope someday your princess comes to scoop you up...and until that time- hey mate have a Happy Birthday, hope it's wonderful for you...as good this past year, and to many more in the future...
