To the Moon and Back (song)

"To the Moon and Back" is a song by Australian group Savage Garden. It was released in Australia in November 1996 as the second single from their debut album Savage Garden. The song became a top 3 hit on the UK Singles Chart and a top 25 hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and was also the band's first number one in its native country.

Release and chart performances

After the international success of their debut single, "I Want You", there were high expectations for the song as its follow-up. During the song's first charting in America, the song entered the Top 40 of the Hot 100 for only one week, peaking at number 37 the final week of August 1997. In the UK the single was originally released in late September 1997 and there it failed to chart in the Top 40, stalling at number 55 for one week. Subsequently, "Truly Madly Deeply" became an even bigger hit than their debut, hitting the number one spot in several countries including both the Hot 100 and the Hot Adult Contemporary charts in the United States, where it broke the record as the longest-running single to that time on the Adult Contemporary charts.

" The publication Billboard rates the album three and a half stars, and Jewly Hight commenting: "the fact that Kill the Lights features a pensive, black-and-white cover shot -- the rare photo in which he's not smiling even a little -- is a hint: He isn't simply going about his business-as-usual fun on this album."Brian Mansfield rates the album three stars out of four at USA Today proffering: "The hits are fine, but that's the guy who's really worth getting to know."
