Themes & Thoughts

Themes and thoughts is the main blog series on the site. Its a track-by-track breakdown of Darren Hayes’ work, discussing recurring themes and sounds, as well as sharing my thoughts and any interesting bits of information that I’ve come across when listening back.

This page is a quick reference to the tracks I have covered. I’m mostly trying to do them in order with the exceptions of the Savage Garden and misc tracks, which I will do as and when I feel like writing a bit more!
