Picking up fame as a part of the popular 'new wave' movement, her second album, 'Select', was released in May 1982. It contained the hits "Cambodia" and "View From a Bridge". Her third album (and last album with RAK), was 'Catch as Catch Can', which came out in November 1983. Sadly, it wasn't much of a success, though tracks "Love Blonde" and "Dancing In the Dark" from the album became minor hits.
When Kim signed with MCA records in 1984, many doubting critics believed that her run of hits were over. Simply put, they were wrong. Kim's first album with MCA, 'Teases & Dares', came out in November 1984. Though not a huge commercial success as an album, it earned praising critical reviews and much fan support while also including three hit singles. Popular tune "Rage To Love" became Wilde's first top 20 hit in two years.
In October 1986, Kim released a cover of The Supremes song You Keep Me Hangin' on - it was a huge hit, number 2 in the UK and in the singles chart for 14 weeks, even better the song got to number 1 in the USA. Kim was now a superstar around the globe. Another Step (her 5th studio album) was released in Nov 1986 and spent 5 weeks in the UK charts. The title track Another Step (Closer to You), (a duet with Junior) and Say You Really Want Me were also singles.
In June 1988, Kim released her most successful studio album to date Close which spent 38 weeks in the UK album charts. Close contained 3 top ten hits You Came, Never Trust A Stranger and Four Letter Word. Around this time Kim was the support act on Michael Jackson's huge Bad tour.
Her 7th and 8th albums, 1990's Love Moves and 1992's Love Is did not match the success of Close, however Love Is boasted another top 20 hit single with the Rick Nowels penned Love Is Holy.
In September 1993, MCA released the first 'official' greatest hits album called The Singles Collection 1981-1993 (which contained all her biggest hits from the RAK years as well as the more recent MCA hits and two brand new singles If I Can't Have You, a top twenty hit in July 1993 (a cover version of the Yvonne Elliman classic) and the Kim penned In My Life.
In 1995, Kim released her 9th studio album Now and Forever, it was not a hit album in the UK but suffered no promotion. It contained two top 50 hits Breakin' Away and This I Swear.
In 1996, Kim released Shame, a cover of the disco song made famous by Evelyn "Champagne" King. Unfortunately the song failed to dent the UK top 100.
In 2001, to celebrate the release of another greatest Hits album, Kim released a new song Loved, co-written by Ronald & Masterton who are famous for their work with Dannii Minogue. Sadly Loved failed to enter the UK singles chart.
Kim is still making music and is also equally famous for her gardening skills. She continues to have success in Europe and had a huge hit in 2003 with Anyplace Anywhere Anytime, a duet with Nena.
In 2006 Kim released a studio album, "Never Say Never." The album includes new tracks and some remixes and remakes of classic Kim songs such as You Came, Cambodia and Kids In America. Also for the new album called Never Say Never Kim has re-recorded You Keep Me Hangin' On as a duet with Nena.
In 2018 she released "Here Come The Aliens," which is in a pop-rock style. Reviewing the album for MusicPlayers.com, Scott Kahn states "There’s not a weak song to be found in this collection of pop rock songs. We love that Here Comes The Aliens has the vibe of a real rock record, with strong musical performances throughout."
C'mon Love Me
Kim Wilde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's an endless sky and
It's just you and I
You're close to me
We tried to say goodbye but
But we can't be that strong and let it be
Now I know life's changed
But you want me, I want you
And there's nothing left for us to do
Before the night is through now
c'mon c'mon c'mon
C'mon c'mon c'mon
And love me, love me
C'mon c'mon c'mon
C'mon c'mon c'mon
And love me, love me
We don't close our eyes we're
Looking deep inside and move so slow
Ooh this is making love it
Feels so good
Oh baby don't let go
When the morning comes
We'll pray the dawn could never break another day
Then we'll kiss, say goodbye
And tomorrow I'll be on my way
But before we're through now
c'mon c'mon c'mon
C'mon c'mon c'mon
And love me, love me
C'mon c'mon c'mon
C'mon c'mon c'mon
And love me, love me
The lyrics of "C'mon Love Me" by Kim Wilde express the emotions of two people who have decided to be with each other for a night although they know that things can never be the same as they were before. The song's setting is an "endless sky," where there's a feeling of limitless possibilities. The singer's partner is close to her, reflecting their strong emotional connection. They had tried to end things, but they can't be that "strong" to resist their feelings for each other. The couple is aware that life has changed, and they can't expect things to be similar to before. The chorus line, "C'mon c'mon c'mon, and love me, love me," urges the other person to give in to their feelings of love and passion, even if it is just for a night.
As the night progresses, the couple gets closer and shares a deep connection. They don't close their eyes, looking deep into each other's soul while moving slow and caressing each other. They both know that what they're doing is making love, and it feels so good that they never want to let go. However, as the morning comes, they know it's time to say goodbye, with the hope that "dawn could never break another day." They kiss and promise to meet again. The song ends with the chorus line, urging the other person to love them just for this one moment.
Overall, "C'mon Love Me" is a love song that articulates the irresistible force of passion and how it can make someone forget all their worries, even if it's just for a night.
Line by Line Meaning
There's an endless sky and
The world feels open and limitless, and it's just us two.
It's just you and I
No one else matters, it's just us.
You're close to me
We are physically close and emotionally intimate.
We tried to say goodbye but
We attempted to part ways, but it was too difficult.
But we can't be that strong and let it be
We're not strong enough to end things, so we choose to continue.
Now I know life's changed
Things are not the same as they were before.
And we can't expect to have things like they were before
We know we can't go back to the way things used to be.
But you want me, I want you
Despite the changes, we still have feelings for each other.
And there's nothing left for us to do
We've exhausted all options and just have to go with our feelings.
Before the night is through now
Before the night is over, we need to act on our feelings.
We don't close our eyes we're
We are fully present and engaged in the moment.
Looking deep inside and move so slow
We take our time and examine our feelings and desires.
Ooh this is making love it
Our actions are truly an expression of our love.
Feels so good
We are enjoying ourselves and each other.
Oh baby don't let go
Don't stop what we're doing, keep holding onto our connection.
When the morning comes
After the night is over and day begins.
We'll pray the dawn could never break another day
We hope that time will stop and we can stay in this moment forever.
Then we'll kiss, say goodbye
We know we have to part ways eventually.
And tomorrow I'll be on my way
We will go our separate ways tomorrow.
But before we're through now
Before the night is over, we need to act on our feelings one last time.
c'mon c'mon c'mon
Let's go, let's do this.
And love me, love me
Continuing to express our love for each other.
C'mon c'mon c'mon
Let's go, let's do this again.
And love me, love me
Once again, we express our love for each other.
