The acoustic version of "Breathe" by Kylie Minogue, performed backstage (and "impromptu"? ha bloody ha) during the Aphrodite tour 2011.
'Struth! Kyles, this is a real bewt, right up there with the original from 1997's underappreciated Impossible Princess.
And, no, I don't necessarily mean the single remix, found here. All well and good, an honest effort to make a challenging song more palatable for the masses. But totally unnecessary in my insufferable opinion.
This acoustic gig begs the question I've asked (to myself, to the world around us) since you signed with Parlophone and released that song with the gold hotpants in 2000: Is there a reason you still can't make music like "Breathe"?
I know it didn't sell as well as you and your affiliates might have liked, but it was all so very good and, alas, much more interesting (if not as commercially successfully) as anything you've done during the Parlophone years. Dull soulless dance music, indeed.
Sorry to bitch, ma chère Kylie, but we miss the real you. Assuming that's what we got with "Breathe," you ever-confusing Gemini minx you.
