"Finer Feelings" is a song by Kylie Minogue. It was the final release from Let's Get to It and was actually planned as the follow-up to "Word Is Out", but was held back after the release of "If You Were with Me Now". "Finer Feelings" finally appeared in April 1992, remixed by Brothers in Rhythm, and narrowly missed out on the top ten, peaking at number eleven on the UK charts. In Australia, "Finer Feelings" became her lowest-charting single at that point, reaching just number sixty.
For the next eighteen years, it remained her only single not to chart in the ARIA top fifty until her 2010 single "Get Outta My Way" which peaked at number sixty-nine. The romantic video was once again directed by Dave Hogan ("What Do I Have to Do?", "Shocked") and shot entirely in Paris with a 1930s/40s feel. "Finer Feelings" remains a fan favourite and Minogue has performed excerpts of the song during her KylieFever2002 and Showgirl Homecoming tours although it was not included on her recent hits compilation, Ultimate Kylie. It is worth noting that the B-side "Closer" is different from the song of the same title that would appear on her 2010 album Aphrodite.
The song was re-recorded in 2011 and posted in Kylie Minogue's official YouTube channel on 25 January, 2012. It will be featured on the The Abbey Road Sessions.

Famous quotes containing the words finer and/or feelings:
“The finest manners in the world are awkwardness and fatuity when contrasted with a finer intelligence. They appear but as the fashions of past days,—mere courtliness, knee-buckles and small- clothes, out of date.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The ease with which problems are understood and solved on paper, in books and magazine articles, is never matched by the reality of the mother’s experience. . . . Her child’s behavior often does not follow the storybook version. Her own feelings don’t match the way she has been told she ought to feel. . . . There is something wrong with either her child or her, she thinks. Either way, she accepts the blame and guilt.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
