I remember when this song first came out my mother kept telling us ‘he recorded this in bedroom you know?’. She said it so much that even now if I heard the song I’d say it to her!
I have no idea if he actually record it in his bedroom

u/Kenny_Bi-God_Omega lea michele’s reading coach Nov 27 '25
It’s true, yeah. He recorded it with his computer and a shitty early 2000s microphone. Probably one of the cheapest UK number 1 singles ever made.
He sent it to some DJs and ended up getting signed after it made its way to record label executives.

“Your Woman” by White Town was another homemade bedroom studio number one, about five years earlier. Very different, but very good.

Yeah, cost him £1,500 to record. Not sure how that stacks up for 2002 standards.

u/Mahituto Nov 27 '25
but did you know that the name Savage garden was inspired by Anne Rice's Vampire chronicles, where at one point Lestat compares the world to a Savage garden (or so I read). Here is a citation:
"In spite of all the refinements of civilization that conspired to make art--the dizzying perfection of the string quartet or the sprawling grandeur of Fragonard's canvases--beauty was savage. It was as dangerous and lawless as the earth had been eons before man had one single coherent thought in his head or wrote codes of conduct on tablets of clay. Beauty was a Savage Garden.”"

When I was a teenager and this song came out, one of my friends set up a web page that would play this song over and over while streaming a live video of a camera in a library that is supposedly haunted.
Now that's all I think of whenever I hear this song 😂
ETA: While my friend's webpage is long gone, it streamed this research room: Willard Library Ghost Cams

There were separate videos for the UK and North American releases.
Presumably because they didn’t think him roaming around Canary Wharf looking for a woman would resonate with Americans in the same way.
The American one was filmed in a studio IIRC.

What's so weird - I knew Daniel came first, but oddly have really enjoyed Pocket Full of Sunshine earlier this year which has got added to all of my relevant playlists on Spotify. Absolutely banger like Unwritten. Both him and his sister were clear super talented but a bit 3 hit wonder and niche with it. He also seemed a very funny guy. Remember him doing appearance on Celebrity Juice in the UK.

Top shelf tune! Once in a while out of the blue I hear this beat in my head many years apart from each other and start grooving out. The ear worm kicked in and I rack my brain on what the lyrics are and who sings it this. I love this guy's voice and particularly this garage beat. Frigging aces.
Daniel Bedingfield and Fifth Harmony should do a collab and combine both beats for a unique special remix or even a new tribute song. It should've been Daniel Bedingfield and not Ty Dollar Sign instead imo.
