Synopsis

Kylie Minogue and her lover, played by Dexter Fletcher, embark on a desert crime spree in a blue Pontiac Firebird. The video unfolds in a deliberately non-linear fashion, moving between a gas station, a roadside hotel, and isolated stretches of the Spanish desert. Their relationship shifts between affection, playfulness, tension, and criminal partnership. During a robbery, Kylie distracts a shopkeeper while Fletcher takes money from the cash register. The caper ends with Kylie carrying the stolen cash and trying to avoid an approaching police car.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The video was filmed in Spain's Tabernas Desert, an arid landscape widely associated with classic Western and spaghetti Western productions.
  • Its Bonnie-and-Clyde-style storyline marked a sharp visual departure from the polished pop imagery associated with many of Minogue's earlier singles.
  • Dexter Fletcher plays Minogue's partner in the video. He later became known as the director of the feature film "Bohemian Rhapsody."
  • The blue Pontiac Firebird is one of the video's most recognizable visual elements and reinforces its deliberately retro, road-movie atmosphere.
  • "Some Kind of Bliss" was released as the lead single from "Impossible Princess" in 1997.
  • The song was co-written by Minogue with James Dean Bradfield and Sean Moore of the Manic Street Preachers, reflecting the rock-oriented direction of the album.

Lyrics

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
