“Truly Madly Deeply” is from Savage Garden’s 1997 self-titled debut album. The romantic pop ballad became the Australian duo’s biggest international hit, peaking at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, topping the charts in Australia and Canada and spending 10 weeks at #1 on the US Adult Contemporary chart.
Originally titled "Magical Kisses," the song was inspired by Darren Hayes's relationship with his wife and was further developed after the band's label encouraged the duo to include a romantic ballad on their debut album. Hayes recorded the final lead vocals in a makeshift studio in his bedroom in Brisbane, giving the performance an intimate quality. The song enjoyed extraordinary longevity, spending 123 weeks on Billboard's Hot 100 Recurrents chart after leaving the main Hot 100, while a successful 2006 cover by Cascada introduced it to a new generation of listeners.
I’m asking for prayers for our 32-yr-old pregnant daughter who suffered a stroke from clots in the brain a week ago. It has been a very difficult week of ups and downs, but mostly downs.
Last night her brain was swelling again, clots were reforming and getting bigger and bleeding was increasing, so they took her in for a second surgery to remove the clots, which was a successful surgery. But then her brain started swelling too much overnight so they made the decision to remove the left half of her skull to give her brain room to expand. Now it’s a waiting game.
Our Kaylie has a 2 1/2 yr old daughter at home who loves her mommy very much. Plus, I can’t imagine life without my eldest daughter, whom I love more than words can express. We believe in the power of prayer, so please join us in asking our Heavenly Father for the brain swelling to go down, for the clots and bleeding to stop and for Kaylie to wake up and recover fully.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
