Dannii first broke out of her sister's shadow in 1997 with the album Girl. Whilst Kylie Minogue was experimenting with dark lyrics, indie collaborations and moody images (Impossible Princess), Dannii went out and out for the dancefloor with the huge hit All I Wanna Do. Unfortunately, the album that it was from only reached No. 57. However, Dannii herself has said, "This was a big turning point for me. It has led me on to the album Neon Nights and my collaborations with many club DJs and remixers".
2001 was a success for Dannii, when her vocals were part of Riva's Who Do You Love Now?, which laid the foundations for her fourth album Neon Nights released in March 2003.
Moving to London Records, Dannii made more credible dance tracks including I Begin To Wonder and Put The Needle On It. In 2003, Dannii released her fourth album, Neon Nights. It was a surprise chart success, reaching no.8 in the UK charts and eventually achieving gold status, selling over 100,000 copies. The album also made gold certification in Australia. Dannii also teamed up with chill-out Ibiza stars Afterlife for a collaboration on their Speck of Gold album. Dannii's star was beginning to shine in its own right.
In 2004, after a top 10 album and four top 10 singles, Dannii moved to All Around The World Records. Her first single for AATW was You Won't Forget About Me, which saw Dannii's vocals layered on top of the instrumental hit Flower Power and landed at no.7 in the UK charts, making it Dannii's fifth consecutive top 10 hit. You Won't Forget About Me was followed up in 2005 by Perfection, on which Dannii teamed up with the Soul Seekerz, which narrowly missed out on the top 10 in the UK, peaking at no.11. In 2006, she returned with So Under Pressure and her Greatest Hits album The Hits & Beyond.
Dannii has been a judge on British television channel ITV's The X Factor since 2007 alongside Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole and Louis Walsh.
In November 2007, Girl and Neon Nights were re-released with bonus discs, with a new studio album Club Disco and compilation album Unleashed appearing within the following weeks. A stand alone single Touch Me Like That was released in December 2007. It was later included on the re-release of Club Disco released in Australia in the spring 2008.
Later in 2008, the logical and long-overdue duet with her own sister finally was released as Kylie & Dannii recorded a cover of ABBA's The Winner Takes It All appeared on the soundtrack album to the shortlived BBC show Beautiful People.
I Will Come To You
Dannii Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never alone now
Never alone now
Never alone, alone, alone, alone
Alone
Alone
If you could control my destiny
Would you catch a bird that needs to fly?
(Then why are you holding me back?
Why are you holding me?)
You don’t have to see the light to believe
I swear I’m not out of your sight to deceive
Do you never stop to wonder why?
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Chorus:
I only breathe when I’m free
Close your eyes when I need
Keep me alive in your dreams
I will come to you
In space travelling
Out of reach we begin
Baby you know in the end
I will come to you
Come to me
Some think I’m a soul of loneliness
Some say that my heart is homeless
That I’m chasing rainbows round the world
(But you are my home and home is where the heart is)
I’m seeing myself in every place
When the rain falls I kiss your face
Then maybe I’ll stop to wonder why
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Repeat Chorus
I’m never alone now
Never alone now
Never alone now
Never alone, alone, alone, alone
Alone
Alone
Repeat Chorus
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Come to me
In Dannii Minogue's song I Will Come To You, the artist appears to be addressing someone who may be trying to hold her back from fulfilling her destiny. She questions whether the person would keep her constantly by their side if they could control her destiny. The chorus seems to suggest that Dannii only feels alive and free when she is able to breathe, keep her dreams alive, and travel in space. The line "I will come to you" is repeated several times, conveying the message that perhaps the person she is addressing is always on her mind wherever she goes.
Dannii reinforces this idea in the second verse when she talks about how she sees herself in every place, and it seems that only the person she's addressing is able to give her a sense of home. She describes being called lonely and heartless by some, but insists that he is her home and where her heart lies. The song paints a picture of someone seeking her own path and identity but still wanting to be close to someone important to her.
Line by Line Meaning
I’m never alone now
I am always with you
If you could control my destiny
If you had the power to direct my fate
Would I be by your side constantly?
Would I always be with you?
Would you catch a bird that needs to fly?
Would you hold me back from my freedom?
You don’t have to see the light to believe
You don't have to physically see something to believe it exists
I swear I’m not out of your sight to deceive
I promise I am not trying to trick you by disappearing
Do you never stop to wonder why?
Don't you ever question the reasons behind our actions?
Chorus: I only breathe when I’m free
I can only live fully when I have the freedom to do what I want
Close your eyes when I need
Please let me be myself when I need to be
Keep me alive in your dreams
Hold onto me in your thoughts when we can't physically be together
In space travelling
When we are far apart and feel like we are in different worlds
Out of reach we begin
Our relationship starts when we are separated
Baby you know in the end
You know that ultimately
I will come to you
I will always find my way back to you
Some think I’m a soul of loneliness
Some believe I am a lonely person
Some say that my heart is homeless
Some say that I do not have a place where I truly belong
That I’m chasing rainbows round the world
That I am searching for something unattainable or unrealistic
But you are my home and home is where the heart is
But I know that I belong wherever you are
I’m seeing myself in every place
I feel like a part of me is missing in every place I go without you
When the rain falls I kiss your face
When it is raining and we are apart, I imagine kissing you
Then maybe I’ll stop to wonder why
Maybe someday I will finally understand the reasons behind our separation
Repeat Chorus
Repeat the earlier chorus
Come to me
Please come to me
