Universe








































Straight from Savage Garden... "During the writing process this song was originally an instrumental track possibly suited to guitar. We tinkered with it and added a Motown-influenced melody and the track seems to have taken on a Smokey Robinson feel, worlds away from where it began, but firmly rooted in the original structure. A sexy groove cemented by a fantastic mix by Mike Pela."

Avoid Those Embarrassing Misheard Lyric Moments well I’d like to take you as I find you / imagine our clothes are on the floor / feel my caress so soft and gentle / so delicate you cry for more / but you know baby / you know baby does it right / and you know baby does it right
-->chorus: universe inside of your heart / you gotta let me know so you can be free baby / you wanted it so much / and now that it’s over / you don’t know what you want
put time in a capsule / two minds consensual / entwined to perfection / if we could / cuddle up close / lay on my chest now / listen my heart beat’s coming down / if you get tired you close your eyes now / when you wake up I won’t be found / cause I know baby / I know you’re the nervous kind / with so much going on in your mind
-->chorus
but let me tell you that this time (this time) / I’m gonna make you mine / (I won’t let you go) / cause I know this time (this time) / I’m gonna make sure I look out for me
cause you know baby / well you know baby does it right / and you know baby does it right / you will only end up lost in loneliness / and wake up with the words already on your lips / so I’ll let you go baby / so i’ll let you go
-->chorus
Video Eye Candy Australian version

Release Year: 1997
"Universe" was filmed in one day, two days after the 1997 ARIA Awards (geez, no break!), in Sydney, Australia. I don't have any other background info on this vid. It doesn't make much sense, but to get a video to perfectly fit this song, it would have to be a little un-PG rated... well hey, it IS lighted in red, like a whorehouse, heh heh...

Did you notice...
  • What does the Viewmaster have to do with anything???
  • Dan is definitely lacking skills in the photography department.
  • I don't know, but some of the people in this video I would stay FAR away from...
  • Dang, Daniel's getting rather feisty... if I were that girl, I certainly wouldn't have pushed him away!
  • When it first shows Daz singing in the club, he's leaning against a table like he's getting ready to throw up.
  • The oriental fan keeps switching owners.
  • What on earth is playing in the background of the club Darren's singing in? The guy throwing a punch looks a wee bit like the singer Beck.
