Born and raised in Melbourne, Minogue first achieved recognition starring in the Australian soap opera Neighbours, playing tomboy mechanic Charlene Robinson. She gained prominence as a recording artist in the late 1980s and released four bubblegum and dance-pop-influenced studio albums produced by Stock Aitken Waterman. By the early 1990s, she had amassed several top ten singles in the UK and Australia, including "I Should Be So Lucky", "The Loco-Motion", "Hand on Your Heart", and "Better the Devil You Know". Taking more creative control over her music, Minogue signed with Deconstruction Records in 1993 and released Kylie Minogue (1994) and Impossible Princess (1997), both of which received positive reviews. She returned to mainstream dance-oriented music with 2000's Light Years, including the number-one hits "Spinning Around" and "On a Night Like This". The follow-up, Fever (2001), was an international breakthrough for Minogue, becoming her best-selling album to date. Two of its singles, "Love at First Sight" and "In Your Eyes", became hits, but its lead single, "Can't Get You Out of My Head" became one of the most successful singles of the 2000s, selling over five million units.
Minogue continued reinventing her image and experimenting with a range of genres on her subsequent albums, which spawned successful singles such as "Slow", "2 Hearts", "All the Lovers", "Santa Baby", "Timebomb" and "Dancing". With her 2020 album DISCO, she became the first female artist to have a chart-topping album in the UK for five consecutive decades. Minogue made her film debut in The Delinquents (1989) and portrayed Cammy in Street Fighter (1994). She has also appeared in the films Moulin Rouge! (2001), Jack & Diane, Holy Motors (2012) and San Andreas (2015). In 2014, she appeared as a judge on the third series of The Voice UK and The Voice Australia. Her other ventures include product endorsements, children's books, fashion, and charitable work.
Minogue was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire in the 2008 New Year Honours for services to music. She was appointed by the French government as a Chevalier (knight) of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres for her contribution to the enrichment of French culture. In 2005, while Minogue was on tour, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was awarded an honorary Doctor of Health Science (D.H.Sc.) degree by Anglia Ruskin University in 2011 for her work in raising awareness for breast cancer. At the 2011 ARIA Music Awards, she was inducted by the Australian Recording Industry Association into the ARIA Hall of Fame. She was appointed Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) in the 2019 Australia Day Honours.

Just Imagine
Kylie Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a diamond rolling deep in the ocean
When you get it
Just imagine
It's like a dream I had and you're standing right here now
Mouth is all numb, cannot even speak now
If you knew
I can feel it coming
Oh, my heart beats out of my hands
Don't know what it is, but, oh
Just imagine
All these words I'm thinking
And I know that you understand
What if we could say 'em all
Just imagine
Don't know the truth, but I wouldn't wanna trust it
You feel it too, that's the only way to judge it
Feel my love
Just imagine
Maybe it's spiritual
Damn, sure evermore
Whatever it is, yeah, I like it
You and I
Just imagine
I can feel it coming
Oh, my heart beats out of my hands
Don't know what it is, but, oh
Just imagine
All these words I'm thinking
And I know that you understand
What if we could say 'em all
Just imagine
I-I-Imagine
I-I-Imagine
I-I-Imagine, oh
Just imagine
In "Just Imagine" by Kylie Minogue, the lyrics convey a sense of longing and desire for something elusive but powerful. The song describes this ineffable feeling as a "missing piece" that is out in the open, suggesting that it is within reach yet still unattainable. The comparison to a diamond rolling deep in the ocean further emphasizes the rarity and preciousness of this feeling.
The lyrics also allude to the intoxicating nature of this experience. The dream-like quality of the situation is highlighted by the singer's inability to speak because their mouth is numb. It is as if this encounter has left them speechless and overwhelmed. The plea to "just imagine" suggests that the singer wants the listener to envision the magnitude and intensity of this feeling. They believe that if the listener could truly perceive and comprehend it, they would understand its significance.
The ambiguous nature of the feeling is also explored in the lyrics. The singer mentions not knowing the truth and questioning whether it can be trusted. However, the connection between the individuals involved is acknowledged, indicating that there is an undeniable shared sensation. The lyrics suggest that this feeling goes beyond the physical realm and perhaps has a spiritual or transcendent quality. Regardless of its exact nature, the singer expresses a deep appreciation for it and suggests that the listener should also embrace and cherish it.

Чудо дивное скрывая!
И чуть чуть неуспевая!
След друг за другом оставляя!
Мощный звук разнос поршней!
HARLY-DAVIDSONВсё зжигая до нолей!
Этот звук разнос поршней!
Отдаётся в даль аллей!
А ещё в долине грёз!
Раздаётся в доль берёз!
СШЮ CARS /2023❤

I almost cried when I heard it. Maybe it's the position in the (deluxe) album. After so many bangers, here comes a proper Kylie melancholy pop track. It's like a gift to us fans.
Josh Frederick
This is one of the best songs I have ever heard in my entire 48 years on this planet. I am a huge Kylie fan since '87, and every album has gems like this. What a triumphant song... Thank you so much Min xoxo

The extremely short length of this song is so frustrating because that chorus is so freaking amazing !!!!
Absolutely adore this track, like up there amongst her best songs, all albums included, I’m seriously addicted !!!
frozen78
I also would love this song to be a little bit longer. It's a good track. The beginning gives me the Xmass vibes. 🙂
Thing Thang
I actually love how quick it is. It's almost like it ends on a cliffhanger. It would've worked brilliantly as an album opener/intro.

It's an album ender like Light Years from the Light Years album... beautiful uplifting yet melancholic... a bridge to final chorus would be amazing to get JUST IMAGINE a few more times... looping over and over.... such a beautiful song and beautiful pop album.... so many sounds and nostalgia felt from all her precious albums... ❤❤❤❤
Amy Stanmore
This is the length of pop songs... however another chorus and bridge would've topped this.
