From Soundgarden to Savage Garden 🤪 Song: To The Moon and Back Artist: Savage Garden Album: Savage Garden Original Bassist: Alex Hewetson Bass: Custom Jazz Bass - Both pickups full - Tone 40% Tuning: Standard (E A D G) Bass Signal: Bass to SVT 7 Pro DI out to Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 “To the Moon and Back“ is a song by Australian pop duo Savage Garden. It was released in Australia on 4 November 1996 as the second single from their self-titled 1997 album. It was the follow up to their hit “I Want You“. It won the 1997 ARIA Music Award for Song of the Year. The song became a Top 3 hit on the UK Singles Chart, and a Top 25 hit on the US Billboard Hot 100, and was also the band's first number one in their native country. While it did not have the success in the USA that “I Want You“ did, the runaway success of its follow up “Truly Madly Deeply“ inspired Savage Garden and Columbia Records in 1998 to remix “To the Moon and Back“ and release it again. In an interview with Apple Music about their debut album, singer Darren Hayes explained the origins of the song. “I was a big science fiction fan - I loved Blade Runner. I wrote it from that point of view, or the idea of what it means to be human. That idea of yearning to express your emotions and your feelings and for that to be legitimized. There was also someone in my life whose persona was very standoffish and who pushed everyone who loved her away. But I could see underneath that hard shell, there was so much pain and all that stuff that I identified with - mum never loved her much, daddy never kept in touch, these are things actually bothering this person.“ Source Wikipedia. To The Moon and Back Lyrics: She's taking her time making up the reasons To justify all the hurt inside Guess she knows from the smiles and the look in their eyes Everyone's got a theory about the bitter one They're saying Mama never loved her much And daddy never keeps in touch That's why she shies away from human affection But somewhere in a private place She packs her bags for outer space And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot To come (and she'll say to him) She's saying I would fly you to the moon and back If you'll be if you'll be my baby Got a ticket for a world where We belong So would you be my baby Ooh-ooh She can't remember a time When she felt needed If love was red then she was colour-blind All her friends they've been tried for treason And crimes that were never defined She's saying Love is like a barren place And reaching out for human faith is Is like a journey I just don't have a map for So baby gonna take a dive and push the shift to overdrive Send a signal that she's hanging all her hopes on the stars (What a pleasant dream) just saying I would fly you to the moon and back If you'll be if you'll be my baby Got a ticket for a world where We belong So would you be my baby Ooh-ooh I would fly you to the moon and back If you'll be if you'll be my baby Got a ticket for a world where We belong So would you be my baby Ooh-ooh Mamma never loved her much And daddy never keeps in touch That's why she shies away from human affection But somewhere in a private place She packs her bags for outer space And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot To come (and she'll say to him) She's saying I would fly you to the moon and back If you'll be if you'll be my baby Got a ticket for a world where We belong So would you be my baby Ooh-ooh I would fly you to the moon and back If you'll be if you'll be my baby Got a ticket for a world where We belong So would you be my baby All audio and video segments remain the property of the original artists and publishing companies.
