* At the beginning of the vid, during the "5,4,3,2,1" bit, some of the numbers have English and Spanish translations. (Addition! There's translations in another language too...if you know what language it is, tell me immediately!)
* Can anyone PLEASE tell me what that machine in the vid (the one with what looks like a laser beam going over Darren's face) is actually used for? :)
* When the girl is in her room trying to get the TV reception, one part of the wall has the words "FIRE EXTINGUISHER" - yet no fire extinguisher exists.
* Only once in the vid does the girl get reception as she's watching the TV. Other times the reception is lost as soon as she glances at the set.
* When Darren's face appears on the white screen, only his eyes and mouth are visible. It looks as though Darren's face is completely square.
* The girl and SG are in the same area! If you look closely at the scenes where Darren is singing into a microphone, behind him is the "FIRE EXTINGUISHER" sign - the same one the girl has next to her TV! They were filmed at the same time, I guess :)
* The girl in this vid has appeared in a silverchair vid.
* The real reason Daniel flicks his guitar pick in the vid? He got mad at the director!
To The Moon And Back - International 1
* Is it just me, or does Daniel look a whole lot like one of the Gallagher brothers (Oasis) in this vid?
* Somewhere in this vid Darren looks a bit 'blur', as though he wasn't expecting the camera to be recording.
To The Moon And Back - International 2
* The girl using the payphone looks a lot like Neve Campbell.
* Noone in the lift notices that Darren is singing.
* When Darren is singing to the girl on the lift, she looks a bit harassed.
* Daniel's busking on the street in this vid. Savage Garden earns thousands of dollars, so why does Daniel have to resort to busking for money? :)
* Speaking of busking...noone gives Daniel any money, not even Darren. So cerewet. :)
* Daniel gets into the lift a whole lot later than Darren. Yet the girl (the one Darren sang to) is still there. What would she be doing riding around the lift?
* At the end of the vid you can see the sun rising. Not much, but considering this bit is usually cut off on TV - so if you're lucky you might just see the sunrise.
* The sunrise at the end of the vid looks a lot like the sunrise in the beginning of Madonna's Ray Of Light vid...hmm, are those 2 supposed to be connected?
* Noone seems to be driving the car in the end - unless the front windows were covered.
To The Moon & Back - Australia
* There's one scene where Darren and Daniel are hanging, trying to escape from the white strips that are rolled around themselves. Darren looks really traumatic but Daniel...he just looks a little annoyed :)
Truly Madly Deeply - International
* When Darren enters the cafe where Daniel is performing, there's a sign above him that has the letters "AU". AU is both the Net 'symbol' for Australia (i.e. savagegarden.village.com.au) as well as the scientific 'shortform' for gold. The video itself is gold in colour. Hmm...
* At one part of the vid, part of the surroundings isn't gold anymore.
Break Me Shake Me - International
* The car in this vid and in the 2nd International To The Moon & Back video are kinda like the same model.
* This is the first vid with the current back-up band members (Ben, Lee & Karl.)
* The video looks kinda shaky, as though the cameraman shook the camera hard.
Break Me Shake Me - Australia
* This vid looks a lot like a Pepsi ad - red, white & blue.
* Like the international vid, this one's kinda shaky...
* 2 girls sing with Darren at the ending of this vid. They're probably SG's earlier backup singers.
Tears Of Pearls
* Darren seems to be either annoyed with the camera or is trying to avoid it.
* The discoballs in this vid are also in the Break Me Shake Me clip.
* The car is back!!! :) It's somewhere in the highway at the beginning of the vid.
* When Darren is on stage he's wearing this long black coat. Somewhere in the ending Darren walks towards the backstage without the coat on. When they show the backstage bit again, Darren has his coat back on.
* At the ending, Darren, Nicole and Anna-Maria are walking side-by-side. Suddenly Anna-Maria has that "omigod-I-forgot-something" look and runs into the opposite direction. As soon as she starts running, she crashes into Darren...but Darren doesn't notice.
* Some more about the Anna-Maria run...actually it's not clear if Anna-Maria really did run after something and crashed into Darren, or if she's throwing herself towards Darren. Any ideas?
* Darren does some hand signals in this vid - hand along face twice, then across face twice and along the face twice again. Anyone know what that means?
The Animal Song
* The band from the Other Sister movie is also in this vid.
* At one point you see Juliette Lewis (the actress in the Other Sister movie) reading a book...the book's title is "The Joy Of Sex".
* Darren's tie is undone.
* Darren looks at one of the Briefcase Brigade guys with a smile on his face. The guy has a "what-are-you-smiling-at-come-on-let's-get-working" look on his face.
* At the ending you see Darren brushing off some confetti from his head.
* In one scene Daniel is playing the guitar sitting on top of a float.
* There's a poodle balancing on his hind legs.
* One of the gymnasts is actually an Olympic winner.
I Knew I Loved You
* There's one scene where a guy and a girl are leaning against the subway door. The girl looks a lot like Kim from the Vengaboys.
* Darren has gloves on.
* In the video, everyone makes a circle by holding the hand of the person next to them. Darren actually wasn't supposed to be holding Kirsten's hand - to complete the circle, Darren was supposed to hold Daniel's hand.
* There's one guy in the train who's sleeping with his hat on his face.
* Darren might be slightly lefthanded - the watch is on his right.
* Think about this. Kirsten Dunst has acted in a movie based on an Anne Rice book. Savage Garden got their name from an Anne Rice book. Part of the video has Darren and Kirsten walking in a GARDEN. Is this supposed to hint at anything? :)
* For all you Fanziners...in one of the issues there's a competition for the storyboard to this vid. Some pictures of the storyboard are included. Well, none of the pics correspond with the vid! In the storyboard Daniel is supposed to play his guitar in the aisle of the crowded train, and Darren and Kirsten are supposed to walk hand-in-hand out of the train. Both never happened. (To the person with the storyboard...if there are any other dissimilarities please let me know!)
Affirmation - Australian
* Some shots have the words "I believe" written on them.
Affirmation - International
* There's a shot of Daniel, Ben and Karl topless (they're changing). Daniel notices the camera rolling and tries to stop it.
* In the beginning Daniel seems to have crashed into Ben.
* Those crazy dance moves you see are for Chained To You.
* The girl who gets pulled up on stage is Dazzy's Chick from the BBS. Say hi to her! :) (well most probably it is...)
* Jennifer is the band's keyboard player. Oddly enough, there are very few shots of her playing the keyboard.
* In the gym Darren seems very big and muscular. Yet during the backstage and onstage shots he's suddenly very slender.
* The dragon shirt Darren has on towards the end of the vid has glitter on it, giving it the electric light effect. Then again it could be electric!
* There's one shot were Ben's back is facing the audience.
* The dolphin Darren rides is named Slim. He's supposed to be neurotic. :)
Crash And Burn
* Malaysian censors seem to be a bit inconsistent with this vid. Sometimes they cut out the lizard bit, sometimes they don't. Lately, though, they've kept the vid in original condition. *whew*
* Daniel isn't actually holding his guitar...it's tied to the room with rope.
* Here's my best explanation/theories of the elements of the vid, with a little help from Darren...
[-] TV - mass media
[-] Boy cleaning fridge who's getting yelled at by mum - parental influence
[-] Couple screaming - shouting for attention
[-] Human peacocks - using beauty to gain people's attention, body language
[-] Guy with keyboard - cyberspace
[-] Daniel playing guitar - music (duh...)
[-] Floating phone - telephone and similar peripherals
[-] Couple in web - Cybersex on the World Wide Web?
[-] Lizard couple - love
[-] Human flamingoes - safety in numbers
[-] Human fireflies - gaining attention by lights, codes
[-] Sign language - communication through barriers
If you have any better theories, or if I have missed any, please notify me!
* The boy who gets yelled at looks incredibly like Lo (Malaysian rocker).
* Here's some of the captions in the vid (tell me if I missed any, I know I did):
[-] In cyberspace contact is anonymous
[-] Stay connected
[-] Communicate Anyway Anyhow
[-] Syncronized flashing is considered dashing
[-] We scream to avoid suffering in silence
[-] Agree to meet in the middle
Hold Me
* Yes, that is really Darren there...not a body double!
* Daniel isn't in this vid.
* Whenever Darren's got his shirt on he looks pretty slender. But when he's got his shirt off he's suddenly very muscular.
