Random Notes

"At 18 years old, with a few weeks living in Los Angeles under my skin, I started to become deeply fascinated with the lives my actor friends led," she says. "Accompanying them to auditions, watching rehearsals and witnessing the unrelenting desperation outside the casting rooms . . . it put into perspective the lengths people go to fit the mold."

“Truly Madly Deeply”

Savage Garden | 1998

"Truly Madly Deeply" is one of the earliest songs written by this Australian duo, but if not for a clever rewrite, Savage Garden's biggest worldwide hit may never have seen the light of day. "'Truly Madly Deeply' was originally a slightly different song that Daniel Jones and I had written and recorded on our first-ever demo cassette that we shopped to labels back in 1994," Darren Hayes recalled. "The verses were exactly the same, but I'm rather embarrassed to admit the chorus did not exist." The Australian duo tweaked the song, and it set a record by staying on the Billboard singles chart for 123 weeks.
