Jack River’s Cover Of Savage Garden Will ‘Truly, Madly, Deeply’ Make Your Day
That saxophone solo.
Ahead of her national tour kicking off tonight in Brisbane, Jack River popped into triple j for a very lush ‘Like A Version’ of Savage Garden’s ‘Truly, Madly, Deeply’.
Holly Rankin has given the ’90s classic a distinctly Jack River sound — if we didn’t know better, we’d swear it was cut straight from Sugar Mountain.
Rankin’s voice is perfect for the song, but the rendition’s wistful synths, three guitars and a quiet- storm-esque saxophone solo are welcome additions.
Add to that her band’s matching cream suits, Rankin’s sparkly jumpsuit and some hazy purple backing lights, and you’re got a performance perfect for a ’90s prom slow dance. Which makes sense: Jack River’s tour is transforming venues across Australia into a Sugar Mountain ball, complete with decorations.
River also performed a rendition of recent single ‘Adolescent’. Watch them both below — and, if you’d like, read our longform feature on River.
