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.

Music's Too Sad Without You
Kylie Minogue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you played me that song
Gave every word meaning
You showed me a place we belonged
And we laughed and we danced and we never looked back
Nothing would get in our way
And you showed me the meaning of love and romance
The music's too sad without you
The silence is all I can listen to now
I can't sing along to the songs like I used to
The music's too sad when you're not around, ooh
I remember that feeling (the songs that you played)
You felt like home
So why am I leaving? (Memories made)
Leaving you all alone
'Cause we laughed and we danced and we never looked back
Nothing would get in our way
And you showed me the meaning of love and romance
I miss the song that you played
Music's too sad without you
The silence is all I can listen to now
I can't sing along to the songs like I used to
The music's too sad when you're not around
So I listen to the wind in the trees
The sound of the air
Your voice is lost in the breeze
When you're not there
(The songs that you played)
The music's too sad without you (the songs that you played)
The music's too sad without you (the songs that you played)
Oooh
(The songs that you played)
The music's too sad
So sad, without you (the songs that you played)
(The songs that you played)
The lyrics of "Music's Too Sad Without You" by Kylie Minogue & Jack Savoretti talk about the power of music and how it can bring people closer. The song is about a couple who bonded over music that they both loved, and how the absence of one person makes the music sound sadder and lonelier.
The opening lines of the song reveal how music has helped the couple to form a strong emotional bond. The person singing the song recalls the moment when the other person played a song that touched them deeply. The song had given every word meaning and showed them a place where they belonged. The lyrics then describe how the two of them laughed, danced and listened to music together, and how nothing could get in their way. The singer emphasizes that each song brought with it an experience of love and romance.
However, the second half of the song turns melancholic, showing how the silence and loneliness of not being together can make the music sound too sad. The singer cannot sing along to the songs like they used to, and they miss the person who used to share this music with them. The lyrics paint a picture of the singer listening to the wind and the sound of the air, with the absence of the other person making it even harder to enjoy the music they used to listen to together.
Line by Line Meaning
I know what you were feeling
I understood your emotions
When you played me that song
When you shared that particular song with me
Gave every word meaning
You expressed every lyric with significance
You showed me a place we belonged
You revealed a space where we fit perfectly
And we laughed and we danced and we never looked back
We had plenty of joy and didn't dwell on the past
Nothing would get in our way
No obstacle could obstruct us
And you showed me the meaning of love and romance
You enlightened me on the definition of affection and passion
With every song that you played
Through each melody you shared with me
The music's too sad without you
The absence of you causes melancholy in the music
The silence is all I can listen to now
There is only emptiness in the absence of sound now
I can't sing along to the songs like I used to
I can no longer express myself through singing as I once could
The music's too sad when you're not around, ooh
There's a sorrowful tone in the music without your presence
I remember that feeling (the songs that you played)
I recollect that sensation brought about by those particular songs
You felt like home
You made me feel comfortable and welcomed
So why am I leaving? (Memories made)
Why am I choosing to depart with all these fond memories?
Leaving you all alone
Abandoning you without any company
'Cause we laughed and we danced and we never looked back
Because we lived in the moment and never dwelled on our pasts
Nothing would get in our way
No hindrance could halt us
And you showed me the meaning of love and romance
You demonstrated the definition of love and passion to me
I miss the song that you played
I yearn for the specific music you used to share with me
So I listen to the wind in the trees
Now I listen to nature's music
The sound of the air
The sound of silence
Your voice is lost in the breeze
Your voice is absent in the wind
When you're not there (The songs that you played)
In your absence, those particular songs are missing
The music's too sad without you (the songs that you played) (x2)
The absence of you and the music you shared with me is too sorrowful to bear
Oooh (The songs that you played)
Oooh, those particular songs
The music's too sad
The music has too much sorrowful tone
So sad, without you (the songs that you played)
It is sorrowful without you and those particular songs
(The songs that you played)
Those particular songs

Kylie has just released one of the best songs of her career - 30 years into it. I remember this song sounded like a classic to me on first listen already. Thank you, Kylie. Music would be too sad without you. 💕
