Savage Garden - "To The Moon and Back"

Sometimes a record label tries more than once to make a song a hit.  In the case of Savage Garden, the group had a hit with "I Want You" in 1996.  The follow-up single was "To The Moon and Back" which barely cracked the Pop Charts.  Then came the band's huge "Truly, Madly, Deeply" which at the time (1997) set the record for the longest-running #1 AC hit.  So, the record company re-released "To The Moon and Back" in 1998 and the song proved to be more successful than before.
