Suddenly was recorded by Angry Anderson for his debut solo album, Beats from a Single Drum. The song was used in the soap opera Neighbours during an episode that featured the wedding of popular characters Scott and Charlene. It was selected by Neighbours cast member Kylie Minogue (who played Charlene Mitchell), who thought the song was lyrically “beautiful”. A release of the song as a single coincided with the broadcast of this episode, reaching #2 in Australia* and #3 in the UK. The song also charted in Ireland, Belgium and Netherlands. In 2012, Anderson stated that Suddenly is the best song he has ever written.

*Ironically, it was Kylie Minogue’s own hit record Loco-Motion that blocked Suddenly from reaching the #1 spot.
Lyrics:
Suddenly, you’re seeing me just the way I am
Suddenly, you’re hearing me
So I’m talking just as fast as I can to you
Suddenly, every part of me needs to know every part of you
