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.

Kylie Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Listen can you hear the distant calling
Far away but we'll be with you soon
Rocketing to outer space in orbit
Take us to the pop stars on the moon
Uh
Travel in light years
Travel in light years
Have yourself a taste of foreign glamour
Speeding on our way to something new
Missing for a night but gone forever
The crew are here to take good CARE of you
Uh
Travel in light years
Uh
Travel in light years
Please fasten your seat belts.
My name is Kylie.
I'll be your purser.
The exits are located at the front and the rear of the craft.
Get up to get down at discoteca
Take a breath and take the plunge my dear
Maybe things that you don't know are better
I'll take you in my capsule out of here
Uh
Travel in light years
Uh
Travel in light years
Thank you for flying KM Air.
We hope you had a pleasant flight.
Please fly with us again.
The lyrics of Kylie Minogue's song Light Years convey a sense of escapism and adventure, as the singer and her listeners prepare to take a rocket ship to outer space and party with pop stars on the moon. The opening countdown of "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1" creates a sense of excitement and anticipation. The distant calling that Kylie invites her listeners to listen to conveys a sense of longing and anticipation to escape everyday life and explore new worlds.
Kylie's lyrics celebrate the "foreign glamour" of traveling to new places, and the idea of missing out on mundane reality for a night, only to be taken care of by the crew who join her on this cosmic journey. The invitation to "get up to get down at discoteca" creates a vivid picture of dancing in a space groove to otherworldly beats.
In the lyrics of Light Years, Kylie's space travel seems to go beyond just the literal journeying to a vast and unfamiliar destination. There is a sense of inner transformation and personal reinvention that can come with leaving behind what one knows and stepping into the unknown. As Kylie says, "Maybe things that you don't know are better," suggesting that there is something to be gained from breaking free of our comfort zones and experiencing something new and exhilarating.

Countdown to the start of a journey
Listen can you hear the distant calling
There is something exciting calling us from afar
Far away but we'll be with you soon
Even though it's far away, we'll reach it eventually
Rocketing to outer space in orbit
Going on a journey to outer space and moving in a circular path around it
Take us to the pop stars on the moon
Going to the moon to meet famous people
Travel in light years
Traveling a great distance in a short amount of time
Have yourself a taste of foreign glamour
Experiencing the excitement and glitz of something new
Speeding on our way to something new
Heading to something that we've never seen before at a fast pace
Missing for a night but gone forever
Being away for just one night, but feeling like it'll last forever
The crew are here to take good CARE of you
The team is available to take care of everything
Please fasten your seat belts.
Get ready for takeoff and stay safe
My name is Kylie.

Relax and go for it, my dear
Maybe things that you don't know are better
Unknown things might actually be better than what you know
I'll take you in my capsule out of here
I'll take you away from here in my spacecraft
