Non chiamatela compilation! "Hits +" di Kylie Minogue è un disco capolavoro perchèà contiene passato , presente ( parlo del periodo in cui è uscita ) e inedito della principessa del pop.
"Hits + " sarebbe come una sorta di Greatest hits con cui la deconstruction records saluta per sempre Kylie con cui ha lavorato per due dischi di studio dal 1994 al 1998; il disco esce però con un po di ritardo , nel 2000 , ovvero l anno della rinascita artistica di Kylie.
Molte sono le hits ma anche inediti, canzoni rare e introvabili.
"Confide in me " è la prima che assieme a "put yourself in my place " e " where is the feeling " rendono l idea del disco del 1994, tra l indie e il pop , con canzoni melodiche e sensuali e stupende ballate; "some kind of bliss", " did it again " e " breath " invece ci descrivono al meglio il sound , l atmosfera e il mood del disco "impossible princess" targato 1997. "Where the wild roses grow" è l apoteosi del periodo in cui Kylie incontra Nick Cave ed entrambi si godono il successo di critica e di pubblico con questa canzone evergreen.
Gli inediti fanno parte delle varie recordings session che vanno dal 1994 al 1999, troviamo infatti " in you don t love me " , struggente ballata , " tears " la canzone più introvabile e rara di Kylie Minogue, ma anche " gotta move on " , " Stay this way " , "automatic love " ed altre sempre tra il pop e ballad.
Gran finale con " take me with you " , che si avvicina al blues.
Questo disco possiamo senza problemi accostarlo a "Something to remember" di Madonna del 1995. Nei due casi abbiamo due artiste che vogliono fermarsi ad analizzare la propria carriera con un disco profondo con ballate che toccano al cuore e canzoni melodiche ma non ballabili.

01 Confide in Me (05:56)
I stand in the distance, I view from afar
Should I offer some assistance
Should it matter who you are
We all get hurt by love, and we all have our cross to bear
But in the name of understanding, now
Our problems should be shared
Confide in me, confide in me
I can keep a secret and throw away the key
But sometimes to release it is to set our children free
We all get hurt by love, and we all have our cross to bear
But in the name of understanding now
Our problems should be shared
Confide in me, confide in me
(Confide in me, confide in me)
(Confide in me, confide in me)
Confide in me
(Confide in me, confide in me)
Confide in me
Stick or twist, the choice is yours
Hit or miss, what's mine is yours
Stick or twist, the choice is yours
Hit or miss, what's mine is yours
We all get hurt by love, and we all have our cross to bear
But in the name of understanding now
Our problems should be shared
Confide in me, confide in me
Confide in me, confide in me
(Confide in me, confide in me)
(Confide in me, confide in me)
Confide in me
(Confide in me, confide in me)
(Confide in me, confide in me)
Confide in me
(Repeat)
02 Put Yourself in My Place (04:13)
I can't take this situation
It's making me feel so blue
One moment you walked into my life
And now you're saying that we're through
I hear that you're in love now
Babe, I don't know what to say
I can't believe that I still feel this way
I hear that you're in love now
Babe, I don't know what to say
Before you decide you won't be mine
Put yourself in my place
The circle will come around
You're gonna put yourself
(Put yourself)
In my place
When your lovers bring you down
And there's no-one else around
You're gonna put yourself
(Put yourself)
In my place
There's no rhyme or reason
That keeps me playing along
I guess that I'll just keep on believing
Inside you love will know right from wrong
I hear that you're in love now
Babe, I don't know what to say
I can't believe that I still feel this way
I hear that you're in love now
Babe, I don't know what to say
Before you decide you won't be mine
Put yourself in my place
The circle will come around
You're gonna put yourself
(Put yourself)
In my place
When your lovers bring you down
And there's no-one else around
You're gonna put yourself
(Put yourself)
In my place
The circle will come around
You're gonna put yourself
(Put yourself)
In my place
When your lovers bring you down
And there's no-one else around
You're gonna put yourself
(Put yourself)
In my place
04 Some Kind of Bliss (04:15)
Shut my eyes
Feel the colour of you
So get to this elation
So high so fast
Shut my eyes
Feel the colour of you
Succumb to this illusion
So strong so deep
Cos everyday is all there is
In my some kind of bliss
Cos everyday is all there is
In my some kind of bliss
Study my reflection
and let the colours fall
Slip into stillness
And be above it all
Good to be here
Time to be alone
I've found a space where I belong
Not succumb to fear
Cos everyday is all there is
In my some kind of bliss
Cos everyday is all there is
In my some kind of bliss
05 Did it Again (04:17)
Clever girl
Think you are but you think too much
Shut down turn around
Don't like that way anymore
Clever girl
Think you know but you don't know much
Try to make a move
Go to a different door
You know it's all in your head
You better put that business to bed
By your fair hands of design
You met the monster in your mind
You did it again (oh-oh)
You did it again (oh-oh)
Won't you listen to me when I'm telling you
It's no good for you
Clever girl
Think you're right but what's right from wrong
Little miss genius
You make it hard on yourself
Clever girl
You've got it all but you're all messed up
Time now turn around
Move on to something else
You know it's all in your head
You better put that business to bed
What you see nobody sees
It only brings you to your knees
You did it again (oh-oh)
You did it again (oh-oh)
Won't you listen to me when I'm telling you
It's no good for you
06 Breathe (03:42)
Don't blame me just because I am bored,
I'm needy I need to taste it all,
don't down me just because I am quiet,
I'm thinking about it all.
I'm helpless about the way of me,
and I'm thinking,
thinking about it all,
I'm sorting everything inside
I'm looking into space,
this time this void,
I'm making my way through the muddy minutes,
the pull is in my muscle,
the ache is in my bones,
Its hard to be alone
Breathe, breathe,
it won't be long now (x3)
Breathe, breathe
See through me when I put up a fight,
I'd like you to see the things I hide,
go deeper than I will let you know,
I'm frightened but I won't let it show,
I'm helpless about the way of me,
and I'm thinking,
thinking about it all,
I'm sorting everything inside
I'm looking into space,
this time this void,
I'm making my way through the muddy minutes,
the pull is in my muscle,
the ache is in my bones,
and it's hard to be alone
Breathe, breathe,
it won't be long now (x3)
Breathe, breathe
Breathe, breathe,
it won't be long now (x12 to fade out)
10 Gotta Move On (03:36)
Can't you see the state you're in?
What you're feeling isn't true
What you gotta do is
Turn away, leave the past behind
We can say we gave it our best try
Turn away, never live a lie
(A brighter day) A brighter day's in sight
Never seek, you'll never find
How can you have peace of mind
You belong with someone else
Is it time you asked yourself to
Turn away, leave the past behind
We can say we gave it our best try
Turn away, never live a lie
(A brighter day) A brighter day's in sight
It is time that you moved on
It has now been way too long
This is not where you belong
It is time that you move on, move on
It is time that you move on, move on
Move on, move on, move on
It is time that you moved on
It has now been way too long
This is not where you belong
It is time that you move on, move on
Move on, move on, move on
11 Difficult by Design (03:44)
It's the heartache and the happiness
That won't let you rest
It's the pleasure and the pain that comes
When you love someone
You've spent so much time
Trying to get it right
Don't ask the reason why
It's a part of life
Chorus
Our love can be difficult at times
But it is by design
Oh love is difficult at times
But it is by design
It's the laughter beyond the tears
That you need to hear
But to know that you can make it through
When a love is true
It feels like a lonely road
You don't know which way to go
How I want you to know you are not alone
Chorus
Love is difficult but it's by design
Love is difficult but it's by design
Oooh, ooh, ooh
Love is difficult but it's by design
Love is difficult but it's by design
Oooh, ooh, ooh
