For me, the word "believe" is one of the most beautiful in English language (along with "afterglow"). It brings you an implied state of surrendering, because when you believe in someone, you give in to one, as if it now owned some part of you.
We all know Kylie's vocals aren't the strongest, but in here, they're replete of beauty and sweetness. She sounds joyful, as the melody sends you to a feeling of peace and, according to the vocals, joy. Scissor Sisters' Jake Shears made one of the most beautiful melodies of 2005 (till now). Its electronic beat combined with a stuning violins arrangement and K's vocals mesmerize us, making us slaves to it and turning the "repeat" function of our cd players into a cosntant. Lyrically speaking, IBIY's structure is very simple but it's content impress. You can simply see it as an average pop/ballad, however its lyrics has an amazing sense of surrendering. As I said before, when you believe in someone, one owns a part of you, and Kylie shows us when she comes to the bridge and declare: "And if you ever have to go away/ Nothing in my world could ever be the same/ Nothing lasts for ever, but together til then/ I'll give you everything I have again and again". Besides that specific part, the chorus is thrilling as well.
I tend to see I Believe In You as a testify of faith. Its denials sounds as explicit affirmations of someone who apparently is out of faith, but in fact believes more than doubts.IBIY is definitelly an oustanding gem of pop music that hopefully will be remembered for a very long time.
