25th september:
Savage media
has just put up a real audio file of the "I knew I loved you' acoustic
version, as well as a real video version of the 'I knew I loved you' video.
The official
savage garden site also has a real audio file of 'I knew I loved
you'. In other news, On last friday (the 23rd), Richard Wilkings on the
Today show in Australia has said that 'I knew I loved you' is currently
the most played song in Australia and America! Billboard has also done
a review of 'I knew I loved you':
"With all the scintillating charm of Savage Garden's triumphant
worldwide hit "Truly Madly Deeply," this first single from their November
release, "Affirmation," is a hole-in-one for the band's Darren Hayes and
Daniel Jones. As cool and crisp as the autumn air, this simple, direct
ballad projects a sweet message of knowing love when you see it. Written
by the duo and produced by pop maestro Walter Afanasieff, "I Knew I Loved
You" glides along amid a soft, easy beat, with vocalist Hayes
sounding more at ease and confident than ever, like he's
singing a timeless classic. Drenched harmonies add to the overall impact,
making this a one-listen ovation for all fans of love-and who out there
isn't? AC-which is still playing "Truly" in regular rotation after an astonishing
88 weeks-will embrace this like the new millennium, while top 40 and adult
top 40 shouldn't give a second thought to affixing this in power rotation.
Absolutely enchanting, one of the most beautiful songs yet of 1999, and
a mere hint at what's to come from an album that represents a new awakening
lyrically and melodically for this savvy Aussie ensemble."
23rd september:
In the recent Australian Vogue magazine, there was an article

savage garden site.

a cardboard slide out case, but in an album sized plastic cd case. there

knew I loved you' (acoustic version) (4:06). The acoustic
version has the same vocal recordings as the original, and all the instruments
