Some Kind of Bliss

"Shut my eyes,
Feel the colour of you.
Succumb to this illusion,
So strong so deep
Cause every day is all there is
In my some kind of bliss."


Released as a single in 1997 I think - there was like an interactive video thing on the cd, and the b-side was limbo.

A manic street preacher fanzine has this:

>>James has done a couple of interviews about Kylie Minogue recently. He appeared on the BBC documentary 'There's Only One Kylie' and spoke about his time working with her and the single they wrote, 'Some Kind Of Bliss'.

"Some people could've been really cynical but I really was excited about it, just doing it as a musician rather than just trying to make any kind of clever, ironic, glamorous statement. [Some Kind Of Bliss] is literally about waking up and not worrying about the risk involved in making a decision. She's always had the instinct to push herself a bit further and try things and not be afraid to fail."

The single didn't even make the Top 20. James continued... "Nick, the bass player and lyricist in our band, he went in Woolworths to buy Some Kind Of Bliss and the shop assistant behind the counter just went "I don't know what's happened to Kylie on this record, she's messing around with these old blokes" And that kind of says it all I suppose."<<


Its kinda hard to find any information about it actually - from a chronological standpoint I think it was the single after the nick cave single.

The track "I dont need anyone" from Kylie's eponymously titled 1998 album is also a manic street preachers collaboration I think...

Have a safe journey back from Manchester last night?

*trundles off to check her albums*
I thnk thats on one of my albums I just never realised it was in conjunction with the manics, wow my 2 favourite artists combined!

And yeah, the journey was ok though somewhat surreal as after dropping Phil off we went to this petrol station where thy were in a state of high security as some guy was trying to break in, then we got thisreally druk bloke behind us who was quite irritating before finally being held up at a 'convey vehicle stop point' for 20 minutes whilst a convey vehicle came to escort us across the pass... was very bizarre! We finally got back at about 2am though so having only had 5 hours sleep before getting up to drive tomy mum's I'm somewhat sleepy now smiley - zzz
