I was privileged to be on the recording and editing team to produce this. Kate was a wonderful young woman to work with. Enjoyed working with her for a number of other edits as well. What great memories, and her music is unique and very special!
No fuckin way! Your generation was the last generation where normal people had access to do extraordinary things. You could say hi to John Lennon on his way in the door, go to Clive Davis and hand him your demo tape. My mom actually went out to California and did the hippie thing. I'm 43 and she STILL will occasionally catch me totally off-guard- "oh yeah, that must have been in '66, yeah, cuz that was before I spent that summer on Charlie Manson's ranch" ...👀... "What??? Oh, you knew about that!" I be like whatever mom. Y'all generation was a trip!
@@bailyslife9923 When I was 18 I worked in this little shop and one of the women I worked with was like that. She had moved out to Cali in the 60’s. She always had the coolest craziest stories. I’m 36 and I still think about her all the time. I feel like our whole generation envied their generation so much. Lol
I studied Wuthering Heights for my degree. About 15 of us sat in a seminar, and every one of us said there was just something unsettling about it, yet none of us could put out finger on it. Our lecturer suggested that this was precisely why it is a work of genius...it's like nothing else. A century and a bit later, Kate Bush did this. She took a novel that defies categorisation, and made a song that encapsulates exactly the same 'otherness'. Genius.
This. This exactly what i feel whenever i hear it. Nothing's alike this. A perfect vocal and visual manifestation of a novel of mysteries, both in story as in its author.
Great way to describe it. I'm not very familiar with Kate Bush, but whenever I hear this song I know it's made by a genius, because it's a song that has been made by a completely different recipe. Feels extremely otherworldly.
whenever she sings the chorus, that “it’s me i’m cathy i’ve come home i’m so cold, let me in your window” i get so unbelievably sad and a bit scared. It’s haunting, this song
Only Kate Bush could make a song about a girl coming back from the grave to steal her former love's soul and have it sound like the sweetest thing ever.
Because even in the book it's a bitter-sweet situation: cathy and heatcliff's love story is eternal, death doesn't really exist for them. This song is amazing!
The obsession continues-so powerful it does not recognize death. Heathcliff and Cathy are inherently selfish and cruel to others because of their obsession with each other. They are monstrous towards each other because of the obsession. This song is brilliant because she focusses on Cathy's ghost banging on Heathcliff's window, the very much alive Heathcliff. She expects him to willingly pass from life to death for her. And she is right. Obsession, the song is so haunting because I think part of us wants to experience that kind of intensity in a relationship. So intense it defies death.
I Wanna Dance With Whitney Houston ...I forgot that one - and WOW is brilliant; I could watch Kate singing that and her mesmerising facial expressions...time & time again.
Her voice . . Its just so haunting. I remember this song, and Babushka from the time they came out in the 70s. I was about 15yrs old then. I had such a crush on her voice... So . . Haunting!!
In 1998 my sister died. This was her favorite song. Every time I hear it, she emotionally visits me. Please Ann, don't go away this time. Stay a little longer..
@@tom_andersonI know what you mean, but in the context of music blah blah.... and she took the role of producer in 1980.....she wrote it and composed it and Powell produced it, fact....
1995, I was in Italy and this song was for a few sec. in a commercial, I think it was an ice cream. I bought the cassette and then lost it. I’d been looking for this song for 26 years. I lost the tape and didn’t know the name(At that time I didn’t speak English, I traveled other countries and in the Early 2000’s I was trying to search on the web for cd’s with music from Italian or European commercials..but NO Luck) Last weekend i was listening to an 80’s Radio station and I recognize the song and immediately I used the Shazam app. and found this incredible song again.It’s a Masterpiece.
To you N Dav and @francy something 😂: Thank you for a bit of Italian here as the Italian language is the most beautiful language in the whole world!! 👍❤️❤️ Also, the Italian food is, to me, the best in the world! 💪 And the old buildings, forums, small villages in the mountains, etc AND the different nature in Italy are the most beautiful, breathtaking in the world! 🌴🌺 Not to forget: a lot of the men in Italy, are the most good looking (and sexy) in the whole world! ❤️😅 ITALY IN MY HEART 💓🌴😀 Ciao from Sweden 🇸🇪🌞🌳🌻
26 y/o female here. I've done the same thing. I broke a couple of things in my apartment with the kicks and I nearly bought a 70s wedding dress from the thrift store just for the aesthetic. Didn't want to scare my boyfriend though so the line was drawn.
To me, the most beautiful thing about this is that there is not a single drop of cynicism or apparent shame about it. YES, she wrote a song about a classic gothic novel. YES, it is from the perspective of a dead character. YES, she is singing in this ghostly dramatic soprano. AND YES, she made a whole interpretative choreography. DEAL WITH IT. Edit: If you have a problem with this comment, please, read it again. I find her creativity and sincerity beautiful, why are some of you responding as if I had criticized Kate?
Have you seen the live tour she dis when she was 20? She wrote all the songs, the music, designed the costumes, the choreography - everything. And then she never did another tour. Its astonishing, 20 years old - search UA-cam for "Kate Bush - The tour of Life HD LPR Remastering (Live at Hammersmith Odeon 79)" You cant post links any longer. sorry.
Remember this. Kate was only 16 years old when she first wrote and performed this epic song for the first time! No Wonder everyone in the music industry flipped out! What a star!
As a kid as I was sitting in the car listening to this and my dad came back. He got in the car and I told him not to start the car. He looked at me like 'my car' but he realised I was enjoying the music. We sat there for a couple of minutes, didn't speak a word and then when it finished, he started up and went on his way. I thought I was in for a telling off but the old man was quiet and smiling. God bless dad. Miss you.
what a beautiful song... back in 1978 when we first saw this video we all knew we had witnessed something special... 46 years on nothing has changed but time.... this song is still as special as the day it was recorded.
This song is masterpiece, just showed it to my girlfriend and she almost came into tears. Music is life, you can close your eyes and go 20/30/40... years back in time.
One woman dancing...in one of the most mesmerising song interpretations ever. She IS Cathy in this interpretation. Excellent and Emily Brontë would approve I'm sure. Timeless.
Dopo 40 anni, parlando con un amica mi ha spiegato il significato di questa canzone, riascoltandola mi è sembrata di piombare in una favola meravigliosa con una creatura soave , un usignolo, dalle movenze meravigliose. Timeless❤❤❤🌈
@sarakissi6984 There may be a celebration near where you live (worldwide) in late July or early August. "The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever" is danced to Kate's red dress video version of this song. Largest celebration is Folkestone Harbour on the English channel - south of the White Cliffs of Dover.
A teenage girl so affected by a book written in the 1850s (ish) she composes and performs a musical and visual masterpiece retelling the story 120(ish) years after the book was written.I mean it’s just unbelievable.Without Emily Brontë we would have this.I’ve never been so in awe of anything in my entire life and I’m old enough to remember this being released.Love you Kate X
I mean - I have recently saw a trailer for a movie about Emily Brontë and I immediatelly thought - if they do not include Kate Bush's song in it it is going to be a crime.
It's because they're both born on the same day of the year. The song shows the power of astrology. Two people can be born 140 years apart and yet fully understand each other because of the position of the sun was in the same place. Their moons are exactly opposite. One born Wednesday, the other Thursday.
wow, naci en el 1982 pero supe de esta cancion hace unos meses de casualidad , me encanto y se quedo en mimente me hizo saber sobre Kate, y sobre la historia, me facino y cada vez leo mas detalles en comentarios, que gran artista muy unica, al punto que echiza ademas de todas las versiones de videos de esa cancion, todo esto sin saber que el tema running up de hills era de ella...
Maybe cos the whole verses are in major chords. The big jumps with the major thirds gives it a "Rollercoaster" vibe in her singing. And also there has been speculation about the time signature of this song. Some say bits of it are in 3/4, 2/4 or even 8/8.
You're a bit ahead of me I'm 58 but.... people today still know how good it is. Check this out ua-cam.com/video/VbM1yuJuWls/v-deo.html Cecile McLorin Salvant, Wuthering Heights (Kate Bush cover), live in San Francisco, Feb. 12, 2022
I will never ever get over the fact that Kate wrote this at 18 years old in one evening and also recorded these vocals in one take... I feel blessed we got to be on the planet at the same time as her.
I heard that she wrote some of her songs when she was only 16, but the producers decided to wait until she was 18 because she was too young and they knew that she was going to have a lot of success
My 14 year old daughter heard this for the first time 3 weeks ago. She hasn't stopped singing it since. And I remember a holiday in Norfolk when it first came out. My sister and I ran around barefoot in a field, singing it repeatedly too. We all wanted to be Kate Bush. She and this song are legends!!!
It's OK to like only one song and video... But after all those years of creativity, it's not (...)to reduce her to this song... Free info at my watch it's 2024 and she's 66 years old....
@isobeljames1328 she's a legend, and can never be reduced to just one song. This one is just one of many that my granddaughter has listened to, and loved. She is a singer, and is learning from this. That's why she's singing it constantly. She also has her eye, or ears, set on a few others too. And I have been a fan since she first emerged as an artiste
Love Bowie and Kate Bush. World needs more creative spirits like these two. Both don't care about breaking the norm - the artist steps beyond the safety of the village into the wilderness and returns with someting unique and awesome to share.
I read the book just to figure out what this song is about.... .... SHE'S A GHOST TRYING TO POSSESS HIM!???!!???? Now it's one of my favourite novels. LOL.
@@colliric - Kate Bush shares a birthday with Emily Brontë. I was also inspired to read the novel based on this song and became a little enamoured with the Brontë Sisters and Emily especially. It inspired me to read classical and other literature as a child which, in turn, led to my life's work in the arts. I'd visit Howarth often and walk across the moors to the Brontë Waterfall and Top Withens, whose location was the inspiration for Wuthering Heights. Many hours I'd spend reading by the waterfall, all inspired off by a song. It's a beautiful place to visit if you ever get the chance.
@@AnyoneCanSee SAME, no kidding I read all of the Brotë sisters biographies, and plan to read Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre. I never read any classical literature in school. Also decided to drive towards the east (I’m in the USA), towards the sunrise because of this song. Idk its like an eye opener, of some sort.
Not to mention, a dancer and an actress. I love how her eyes get wide when she's playing the ghost of Cathy. She brings more passion to Emily Bronte's novel than my high school English literature teacher ever did. The song made me cry the first time I heard it, and I'm not one to cry easily.
I am an Iranian woman living in France since 1983. When I first heard this song and saw this amazing woman in 1978 I was in awe, same feeling almost half a century later❤🎉
This is one of those culturally iconic songs that NEVER GETS OLD. I could listen to it every day and not only love it, but find something new in it. I suspect Emily Brontë would’ve loved it too, if I may say so.❤🖤
I think rather then "crazy" just not repressed. She let's herself feel and exist without caring of "playing an expected part". Craziness always has a feel of unstable and unsafe. But you feel her vibe is stable and carefree like the wind. We may not know where the wind blows and see it at chaotic but the wind knows where its going.
She's the hottest rock chick ever!❤ But I can never take this song seriously anymore, since seeing Pamela Stephenson's take on it; ua-cam.com/video/SMXIro1P_7g/v-deo.html
Kate wrote this song. It's HER song and no one sings it better than her. She also did TWO versions. This is the version where she is supposed to be the ghost of Cathy. In the other version of Wuthering Heights, she sings differently.
Without having read Wuthering Heights, I think this song would go right over the listener’s head. Kate brilliantly captures the spirit of the book in her voice, lyrics and expressive dance.
Iirc She hadn't even read the book when she wrote the song; she saw the ending on TV or heard the ending in a radio program or something and just sort of made her own story based on the ending alone.
@@StargazerSkyscraper Not quite. In an Interview (with Michael Aspel ua-cam.com/video/ajMWT0dFNjQ/v-deo.html) she says she first became interested in it how you described when she was young, and was told the story, but later read it before writing the song.
The song is so much eerier when you realise its context. The song is about Cathy's ghost returning to Heathcliff to take him away with her because she's so lonely "on the other side" (afterlife/purgatory/whatever). At the end of the novel when Heathcliff throws open the window and lays in bed and dies with a smile on his face, we're supposed to believe that Cathy's ghost has come through and he's let his soul go with her. Creepy. It's amazing how much lyrical depth this song has, especially considering Kate wrote it at the age of 18.
That all describes Cathy pretty perfectly! And also "let me have it / let me grab your soul away" sums up the nature of Cathy's love (possessive, controlling, works like ownership).
Cathy, Katherine , Kate ~ all the same name and Kate shares a birthday with Emily Bronte the author of the novel. No wonder she insisted that this song should be the single rather than the one the record company wanted...….
I’ll never forget the day my English Literature lecturer put this on in our afternoon lesson. We were getting ready for assignments yet we had to ‘feel’ the emotions of this song. It’s a lesson I’ll never forget. Time has already flowed by and University is long gone.
@@joannefalkinder393 Well no. Like I wrote above, the movie/book is actually a favorite. Kate Bush just annoyed me, and is not my cup of tea so to speak.
She opened the doors to female artists to express themselves whether experiencing joy, bliss, grief etc. most of all she helped them achieve them their creative pursuits.
for anyone confused on what this song is about (understandably, too): it’s based off the book ‘wuthering heights’ and tells the (odd) love story between two of the book’s main characters, Catherine and Heathcliff. it is told in the point of view of Catherine, who [*SPOILER*] had died and spent the rest of Heathcliff’s natural life haunting him. the lyrics “Heathcliff, it’s me, your Cathy, I’ve come home, I’m so cold” come from a scene in the book where another one of the characters (Lockwood) has a dream in which Cathy’s ghostly figure has returned back to the home from her grave and is begging to be let back in by Heathcliff. funnily enough, Heathcliff and Catherine were never an ‘item’; they were just two people who loved each other but were never officially together, even though they wanted to be.
They were also incredibly arrogant, selfish, immature, hateful characters whose only redeeming quality was that they loved each other deeply. But Kate Bush sings like an angel and makes me much more inclined to not hate the pair of them!
My mum knows this entire dance. She does it to literally every song and when people ask her what she's doing she tells people to educate themselves on Kate Bush
This song is one of the most hauntingly beautiful and weird and wonderful songs ever recorded. She's incredibly beautiful too, especially right at the 1 minute mark singing straight to camera. Amazing song and woman.
If you're listening to this song in 2024 you're a Legend. Stary utwór a tak piękny, że wracam do niego często. Nie wiem, ale zawsze słuchając go mam łzy w oczach. Cudo głos. Przepiękny. Ponadczasowy.❤ 2024 r.
Watched the 1939 movie last night. Double Legend. It's nice to see women haven't changed these last 85 years. Being a ghost in a winter storm is so much more romantic than domestic poverty with a stable boy.
I was stationed in Germany in the Army when this hit and my best friend in the army could sing this at the same pitch as Kate, and he was a full grown male of 200 pounds. It used to blow us away.
It reminds me back in the days singing karaoke with a buddy - I gave Diana Ross and he Lionel Richie in "Endless Love". When we went on stage people wondering/laughing - until Diana was started to sing. (I think I ruined my headvoice in those days somehow - but it was much fun.)😂
@@JustinDudley-ed4cm it did especially while out on maneuvers. He could also do Zappa lyrics and not miss a word. He could sing the backup singers part for Montana, I'm plucking the old dental floss.
It is so incredible to have this kind of relationship, and it's so great to admit your sensibility, as a full grown male of 200 pounds ! It reminds me my best friend, which cut down trees and must weight around 200 pounds too ! We often sing "put your head on my shoulder", we shout, like if we were alone in the world. Or sometime we dance just the two of us on Telegraph road from Dire straits, in a way we could break our neck ahah This kind of music is a gift, an open window to people's heart, and it unlights the best of us !
Same!!!! I brought this song on a CD into 8th grade when we were reading Wuthering Heights. It was then I started to realize adults were full of shit when the teacher asked why she was whining so much. F you Mrs. L.
@@nobodysbody The whole album (The Kick Inside) is great. She wrote most of the tracks between the ages of 13 and 15. Wrote this when she was about 17. Same story for the next album "Lionheart". Child prodigy.
Coisa mais linda e emocionante q eu já vi, e hj teve uma pessoa q conseguiu reproduzir tão bem quanto ela em um programa de tv aqui do Brazil. Parabéns Kate Bush, vc é linda e marcante!!!!!!!
I was mopping at work and I heard this on the radio. I hadn't the phone to shazam, and I didn't understand a single word due to the very high and pitch voice. God bless the friend who helped me to found the name on the internet, looking for time+hour and radio station.
London, Xmas 1977, student. I was listening to the radio and ...I was mesmerized as soon as I heard the first notes. When I saw her in the TV I was in love!!!!!
@@davidlondon2810 Growing up, I heard Big Sky and This Woman’s Work on the radio and movies however I never knew who she was. Then I heard “Running Up That Hill” from Season 4 of Stranger Things for the first time. I then started my music journey of exploring Kate Bush and discovered that I heard her music in the past but never put a name to it till now. Now, I’m completely in love with her music and appreciate her as an artist. I love that she isn’t afraid to experiment and take risks. Kate knows the power and importance of imagination and innovation.
You have to record vocals like this in one take. It never ever works to piece together different takes, no matter what anyone will tell you. You have maybe a couple of full takes and if no joy, pack up and come back another day. Naturally anyone that lacks the incredible talent of Kate Bush, will struggle to do these kind of one take sessions. Technology has unfortunately given talentless people the chance to get involved in music, which degrades the scene and art of music making as a whole. So we desperately need new artists like the Kate Bush of this world to come forward and succeed.
@@EgoShredder stop gatekeeping music production as if it is something only the elite should have access to. I would prefer to live in a time where everyone is able to produce music, yet truly great producers are recognized.
She wrote, "man with the child in his eyes" at 14. That is staggering as it is about a woman in love with a young boy that seems the be a reincarnation of a man. Yet, she was a child when she wrote it.
Mi Ga Me neither. Funnily enough it never used to be one of my favorites of hers but it suddenly is now. I've just grown to really like it. Weird how that happens. It's very uplifting and her music is very well written.
Kate Bush = PERFECTION Grateful that I was only 7 in 1978 but now I am 54 the whole proud to be aged that is the best gift life gave to me. Gorgeous song and singer
Does anybody agree with me that Kate belonged in our generation, it’s strange I watch her music videos and she just seems everlasting and feel like she would just fit in today like no other artist would from decades ago
Recently turned 28 and have loved Kate since my mom shared her music with me when I was like 6. Her vibes/music/presence transcends time. She's an all time great.
Sorry, I disagree. I'm not trying to troll when I say that Kate Bush is an absolute rarity that was from a time when musical artists were more concerned with musical content and the integrity of their material; not their music videos. Granted, Kate is a timeless beauty who's music has that everlasting, magical quality, She is nothing like the musical artists of today's generation. She's authentic, eccentric, and in a league of her own. And this is coming from a guitarist that grew up listening to punk / metal / rock n roll / blues.
Thank you so much Kate for this timeless classic - from a 61 year old Waterford guy. It's always my first go to son on my car journey songs. So proud to know your Mum is a Dungarvan lady from Waterford in Ireland. Hard to believe that this genius was in a girl of such a tender age. Hope you and yours are all well ❤
What I love about her is how she doesn't (or didn't) really care about looking pretty while singing. She opens her eyes & mouth up wide when she sings, it's like her facial expression is an instrument on it's own.
J'étais amoureux de sa musique et de sa voix quand j'étais enfant puis adolescent. Et quand j'ai vu ses vidéos sur UA-cam quelques années après, je suis tombé amoureux d'elles aussi...J'étais très fan et je suis devenu super fan
I do not understand how people prefer the 'red dress' version to this one. Considering the context of this song and what it's about and the character she is playing, this version utterly nails it. Right from that first 'rising up' she does; it's perfect.
I like that there's less overlay on the second one. I feel like both have their merits and people can like what they like. It doesn't affect your life or negatively impact others, so who cares at the end of the day?
I love how she doesn’t write music or make music videos to please the industry and has her own style that she sticks to. Her dancing is amazing and has influenced so much of modern contemporary dance. She is a legend!
She is, or was, an artist, a term so hollowed out now by today’s … pop performers who revel in their million-dollar-budget pop videos, the icing and the cake as far as they and their cultural executive overseers are concerned when it comes to product or content or whatever godawful term is used in the entertainment business. But back in the 70s, a pop video was mere icing on the cake. In other words, the song carried the video, if anything. It could only be cheap. Incidentally, Kate Bush was the first female pop star, or artist, (of any nationality) to have a self-penned number one song in the British charts, at the time in early 1978. By that stage, the pop charts were really only twenty years old. Perhaps there were other lady song-writers who had written no 1 hit songs for other sole artists and bands. Kate Bush had also received mime classes, as I think I can recall from reading about her once, from mime artist Lindsay Kemp, who had worked with a very young David Bowie in the late 60s. Both Bush and Bowie were leggy, fluid movers. Is the increasingly politically correct mantra of today that you may not write what you like bedevilling creative expression down to the grassroots level and increasingly resulting in anodyne works? Kate Bush was only about 19 years old when she put out Wuthering Heights. The 70s was a very politically incorrect decade, some say too much. Now, in the Tik Tok age, people form up into their vague little cliques and tribes and stew there. And the artistic impulse is dead in the dross. What we have in terms of songs, films, tv and books wittering nonsense.
Now this is what a music video should be: ART...And one of the greatest songs ever too! Maybe this could still be a hit song in the USA, it's not too late, look at "Running up that Hill", finally in the top ten in the USA this week! Some useless trivia: "Wuthering Heights" was played on the very first day of MTV...
Like a mermaid singing to my ears. This song is hypnotizing and I can't stop listening to it. It's hard to believe I didn't know her before. Kate Busha is amazing. Masterpiece.
A true original and one of the most recognisable voices is music. Kate Bush inspired so may artists and genre's of music including Pop, Rock and even Hip Hop. Inspirational is an understatement.
This was mind-blowingly original when it was released in 1977. Coming back to it over 40 years later, it's still one-of-a-kind. It's a timeless work of genius.
I just looped this video approximately 40 times while working at my desk. Absolute brilliance in every way. Thank you to Kate and everyone else who was involved in creating this generational masterpiece.
I was privileged to be on the recording and editing team to produce this. Kate was a wonderful young woman to work with. Enjoyed working with her for a number of other edits as well. What great memories, and her music is unique and very special!

The obsession continues-so powerful it does not recognize death. Heathcliff and Cathy are inherently selfish and cruel to others because of their obsession with each other. They are monstrous towards each other because of the obsession. This song is brilliant because she focusses on Cathy's ghost banging on Heathcliff's window, the very much alive Heathcliff. She expects him to willingly pass from life to death for her. And she is right. Obsession, the song is so haunting because I think part of us wants to experience that kind of intensity in a relationship. So intense it defies death.

Lost my sister in 1997, and it was also her favorite song. I feel her presence each time I listen.
It's hard to believe that this 19 year old child could produce such an awesome piece of work. Amazing talent!
Music and lyrics by Kate Bush

@@tom_andersonI know what you mean, but in the context of music blah blah.... and she took the role of producer in 1980.....she wrote it and composed it and Powell produced it, fact....
@@tom_anderson I agree - you mean the concept, the originality, the timeless cutting edge-ness about it. That is all produced by her.
My words exactly. This is the greatest song ever
1995, I was in Italy and this song was for a few sec. in a commercial, I think it was an ice cream. I bought the cassette and then lost it.
I’d been looking for this song for 26 years. I lost the tape and didn’t know the name(At that time I didn’t speak English, I traveled other countries and in the Early 2000’s I was trying to search on the web for cd’s with music from Italian or European commercials..but NO Luck) Last weekend i was listening to an 80’s Radio station and I recognize the song and immediately I used the Shazam app. and found this incredible song again.It’s a Masterpiece.

19 years old Kate, 46 years ago, sings from the perspective of a ghost, high pitched voice done deliberately... If it helps.

So excellent

Why not... Do what you feel to Do..
trust me bro being straight doesnt hinder your ability to dance
26 y/o female here. I've done the same thing. I broke a couple of things in my apartment with the kicks and I nearly bought a 70s wedding dress from the thrift store just for the aesthetic. Didn't want to scare my boyfriend though so the line was drawn.
To me, the most beautiful thing about this is that there is not a single drop of cynicism or apparent shame about it.
YES, she wrote a song about a classic gothic novel. YES, it is from the perspective of a dead character.
YES, she is singing in this ghostly dramatic soprano. AND YES, she made a whole interpretative choreography.
DEAL WITH IT.
Edit: If you have a problem with this comment, please, read it again. I find her creativity and sincerity beautiful, why are some of you responding as if I had criticized Kate?
Yeah....less cynicism in those days🙂....
Okay I guess I’ll just deal with it then.
I loved this!

Heard she was even younger when she actually wrote it, but i might be wrong.
Have you seen the live tour she dis when she was 20? She wrote all the songs, the music, designed the costumes, the choreography - everything. And then she never did another tour. Its astonishing, 20 years old - search UA-cam for "Kate Bush - The tour of Life HD LPR Remastering (Live at Hammersmith Odeon 79)"

As a kid as I was sitting in the car listening to this and my dad came back. He got in the car and I told him not to start the car. He looked at me like 'my car' but he realised I was enjoying the music. We sat there for a couple of minutes, didn't speak a word and then when it finished, he started up and went on his way. I thought I was in for a telling off but the old man was quiet and smiling. God bless dad. Miss you.

Fun fact, she was one of 2pacs favourite artists. Oddly enough 😂
A teenage girl so affected by a book written in the 1850s (ish) she composes and performs a musical and visual masterpiece retelling the story 120(ish) years after the book was written.I mean it’s just unbelievable.Without Emily Brontë we would have this.I’ve never been so in awe of anything in my entire life and I’m old enough to remember this being released.Love you Kate X
❤️🌹
I mean - I have recently saw a trailer for a movie about Emily Brontë and I immediatelly thought - if they do not include Kate Bush's song in it it is going to be a crime.
It's because they're both born on the same day of the year. The song shows the power of astrology. Two people can be born 140 years apart and yet fully understand each other because of the position of the sun was in the same place. Their moons are exactly opposite. One born Wednesday, the other Thursday.
@Karel De Lille You don't seem to be okay, judging on your other posts.
wow, naci en el 1982 pero supe de esta cancion hace unos meses de casualidad , me encanto y se quedo en mimente me hizo saber sobre Kate, y sobre la historia, me facino y cada vez leo mas detalles en comentarios, que gran artista muy unica, al punto que echiza ademas de todas las versiones de videos de esa cancion, todo esto sin saber que el tema running up de hills era de ella...
This is absolutely the weirdest song I’ve ever heard but also the best. A whole song that’s an extended literary allusion?? We need more of this.
Maybe you should listen to Björk or Julia Holter...
Or joanna newsom
"Killing an Arab" is another
Maybe cos the whole verses are in major chords. The big jumps with the major thirds gives it a "Rollercoaster" vibe in her singing. And also there has been speculation about the time signature of this song. Some say bits of it are in 3/4, 2/4 or even 8/8.
You need to listen to other Kate Bush songs if you think this one is weird.
The energy of this music is inexplicable, never in humanity will a song be able to express a book with such fidelity
Song written after catching the last minutes of the adaptation on TV.
The vocal range, the bass, the chords, the way the guitar solo progressively shows up... one of the best songs ever

I will never ever get over the fact that Kate wrote this at 18 years old in one evening and also recorded these vocals in one take... I feel blessed we got to be on the planet at the same time as her.
When art possess you in that instantaneously moment regardless of discipline.
I heard that she wrote some of her songs when she was only 16, but the producers decided to wait until she was 18 because she was too young and they knew that she was going to have a lot of success

But after all those years of creativity, it's not (...)to reduce her to this song...

@isobeljames1328 she's a legend, and can never be reduced to just one song. This one is just one of many that my granddaughter has listened to, and loved. She is a singer, and is learning from this.

Love Bowie and Kate Bush. World needs more creative spirits like these two. Both don't care about breaking the norm - the artist steps beyond the safety of the village into the wilderness and returns with someting unique and awesome to share.
This song literally changed my life. When I saw it I realised there was art and beauty in the world.
I read the book just to figure out what this song is about....
.... SHE'S A GHOST TRYING TO POSSESS HIM!???!!????
Now it's one of my favourite novels. LOL.
@@colliric - Kate Bush shares a birthday with Emily Brontë. I was also inspired to read the novel based on this song and became a little enamoured with the Brontë Sisters and Emily especially. It inspired me to read classical and other literature as a child which, in turn, led to my life's work in the arts.
I'd visit Howarth often and walk across the moors to the Brontë Waterfall and Top Withens, whose location was the inspiration for Wuthering Heights. Many hours I'd spend reading by the waterfall, all inspired off by a song.
It's a beautiful place to visit if you ever get the chance.
@@AnyoneCanSee SAME, no kidding I read all of the Brotë sisters biographies, and plan to read Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre. I never read any classical literature in school. Also decided to drive towards the east (I’m in the USA), towards the sunrise because of this song. Idk its like an eye opener, of some sort.
Puff.
This comment made my cry
Kate Bush is much more than just a singer and songwriter. She’s a storyteller who makes the story’s emotions come across perfectly.
Producer and arranger
Not to mention, a dancer and an actress. I love how her eyes get wide when she's playing the ghost of Cathy. She brings more passion to Emily Bronte's novel than my high school English literature teacher ever did. The song made me cry the first time I heard it, and I'm not one to cry easily.

78. The song is current procedure
This is one of those culturally iconic songs that NEVER GETS OLD. I could listen to it every day and not only love it, but find something new in it. I suspect Emily Brontë would’ve loved it too, if I may say so.❤🖤

Breaking news : it's 2024, she's 66 years old... If it helps.
I love the fact that she's beautiful, sing well, dance well and got this little vibe of craziness at the same time. Truly talented.
I think rather then "crazy" just not repressed. She let's herself feel and exist without caring of "playing an expected part". Craziness always has a feel of unstable and unsafe. But you feel her vibe is stable and carefree like the wind. We may not know where the wind blows and see it at chaotic but the wind knows where its going.
@@rene3759 good point
She's the hottest rock chick ever!❤
But I can never take this song seriously anymore, since seeing Pamela Stephenson's take on it;
ua-cam.com/video/SMXIro1P_7g/v-deo.html
Kate wrote this song. It's HER song and no one sings it better than her. She also did TWO versions. This is the version where she is supposed to be the ghost of Cathy. In the other version of Wuthering Heights, she sings differently.
@@rene3759 Her dancing and movements are like the wind but those eyes! They portray just the right amount of crazy that enthralls.
Without having read Wuthering Heights, I think this song would go right over the listener’s head. Kate brilliantly captures the spirit of the book in her voice, lyrics and expressive dance.
Iirc She hadn't even read the book when she wrote the song; she saw the ending on TV or heard the ending in a radio program or something and just sort of made her own story based on the ending alone.
@@StargazerSkyscraper Not quite. In an Interview (with Michael Aspel ua-cam.com/video/ajMWT0dFNjQ/v-deo.html) she says she first became interested in it how you described when she was young, and was told the story, but later read it before writing the song.
I know nothing about the book and understand this song. It's not exactly algebra.
i understand the song better than the book and i’m studying it for a level
She hadn't read the book when she wrote it at 17. True fact.
The song is so much eerier when you realise its context. The song is about Cathy's ghost returning to Heathcliff to take him away with her because she's so lonely "on the other side" (afterlife/purgatory/whatever). At the end of the novel when Heathcliff throws open the window and lays in bed and dies with a smile on his face, we're supposed to believe that Cathy's ghost has come through and he's let his soul go with her. Creepy.
It's amazing how much lyrical depth this song has, especially considering Kate wrote it at the age of 18.
oh well thanks for spoiling the book
ian hubbard Oh, right.
Spoilers alert, guise.
This song lyrically mirrors the book.
***** thats the kind of comment that would really intice people into the book
younggun2314 the book is "Wuthering Heights", one of my favourite books I had to read for my literature class in High School.
What a classic that will forever send a chill down my spine. A timeless and legendary piece... As powerful today as when it was released!
"I hated you. I loved you too." hahaha
Plus Kate looks like a beautiful spirit. She actually looks like Cathy's ghost.
Katie Ratte i do think that was the idea, indeed!
That all describes Cathy pretty perfectly!
And also "let me have it / let me grab your soul away" sums up the nature of Cathy's love (possessive, controlling, works like ownership).
Frankly speaking yes... 😂😂😂
Cathy, Katherine , Kate ~ all the same name and Kate shares a birthday with Emily Bronte the author of the novel. No wonder she insisted that this song should be the single rather than the one the record company wanted...….

So Great and never will be forgotten, Luv Kate !
for anyone confused on what this song is about (understandably, too): it’s based off the book ‘wuthering heights’ and tells the (odd) love story between two of the book’s main characters, Catherine and Heathcliff. it is told in the point of view of Catherine, who [*SPOILER*] had died and spent the rest of Heathcliff’s natural life haunting him.
the lyrics “Heathcliff, it’s me, your Cathy, I’ve come home, I’m so cold” come from a scene in the book where another one of the characters (Lockwood) has a dream in which Cathy’s ghostly figure has returned back to the home from her grave and is begging to be let back in by Heathcliff.
funnily enough, Heathcliff and Catherine were never an ‘item’; they were just two people who loved each other but were never officially together, even though they wanted to be.
can I interest you in a Wuthering Heights sung from Heathcliff's perspective? ua-cam.com/video/3CJsvboXEo8/v-deo.html
They were also incredibly arrogant, selfish, immature, hateful characters whose only redeeming quality was that they loved each other deeply. But Kate Bush sings like an angel and makes me much more inclined to not hate the pair of them!
Thanks, captain!
Now I have to read it !
Was the relationship of Cathy and Heathcliff like Jo and Laurie from Little Women?

I was stationed in Germany in the Army when this hit and my best friend in the army could sing this at the same pitch as Kate, and he was a full grown male of 200 pounds. It used to blow us away.
I would just have loved to have seen that, it would have been amazing, good on him, I'm all for equality, brilliant. 🎼🎶🎵.
It reminds me back in the days singing karaoke with a buddy - I gave Diana Ross and he Lionel Richie in "Endless Love". When we went on stage people wondering/laughing - until Diana was started to sing.
(I think I ruined my headvoice in those days somehow - but it was much fun.)😂

You have to record vocals like this in one take. It never ever works to piece together different takes, no matter what anyone will tell you. You have maybe a couple of full takes and if no joy, pack up and come back another day. Naturally anyone that lacks the incredible talent of Kate Bush, will struggle to do these kind of one take sessions. Technology has unfortunately given talentless people the chance to get involved in music, which degrades the scene and art of music making as a whole. So we desperately need new artists like the Kate Bush of this world to come forward and succeed.
@@EgoShredder stop gatekeeping music production as if it is something only the elite should have access to. I would prefer to live in a time where everyone is able to produce music, yet truly great producers are recognized.
@@ianturnbow7011 I prefer to maintain high standards and be realistic, rather then aspire to some kind of hippy socialist wet dream.
@@EgoShredder Thankfully, music can live without your opinion
This song is so incredible and unique, and never gets old. The melody, the lyrics, the story - I LOVE it! ❤
Bush wrote the song aged 18, within a few hours late at night, on 5 March 1977.
She wrote, "man with the child in his eyes" at 14. That is staggering as it is about a woman in love with a young boy that seems the be a reincarnation of a man. Yet, she was a child when she wrote it.
Yeah but she had a book to base it on
Thanks! I did not know that. HAha
Incredible..that settles it..ima go to my pianah and write a song also...im 41 years old
@@nicole6556 - She hadn't read the book. She saw the last part of the BBC television adaptation.
This one should be number 1 again too. On all charts. World wide.
😆 #2 a ditty from Yoko Ono?
This is the version I have always prefered. One of my favourite songs ever, I can hardly get sick of it.
Mi Ga Me neither. Funnily enough it never used to be one of my favorites of hers but it suddenly is now. I've just grown to really like it. Weird how that happens. It's very uplifting and her music is very well written.
+Mi Ga la sua piu bella canone
While I prefer version 2's video, I think that the audio on this is much better.
Kate Bush = PERFECTION Grateful that I was only 7 in 1978 but now I am 54 the whole proud to be aged that is the best gift life gave to me. Gorgeous song and singer
We know we know, only one song and she's 20 since 1978 and forever....
She is 100% committed to the art of the experience. Every fiber of her being is in the song and performance. A masterpiece of music and art.
Does anybody agree with me that Kate belonged in our generation, it’s strange I watch her music videos and she just seems everlasting and feel like she would just fit in today like no other artist would from decades ago
She is timeless.
Recently turned 28 and have loved Kate since my mom shared her music with me when I was like 6. Her vibes/music/presence transcends time. She's an all time great.
Sorry, I disagree. I'm not trying to troll when I say that Kate Bush is an absolute rarity that was from a time when musical artists were more concerned with musical content and the integrity of their material; not their music videos.
Granted, Kate is a timeless beauty who's music has that everlasting, magical quality, She is nothing like the musical artists of today's generation. She's authentic, eccentric, and in a league of her own.
And this is coming from a guitarist that grew up listening to punk / metal / rock n roll / blues.
@@vjenkins6815 I agree with you 100%. I can't picture her as someone from this generation at all
私もそう思います。
She looks like a beautiful ethereal elven princess... She's magic!
I think a genius.

Thank you so much Kate for this timeless classic - from a 61 year old Waterford guy. It's always my first go to son on my car journey songs. So proud to know your Mum is a Dungarvan lady from Waterford in Ireland. Hard to believe that this genius was in a girl of such a tender age. Hope you and yours are all well ❤
Listening to Kate Bush for the first time in 2020. Better late than never 🧚🏻♂️ She’s mesmerizing!
Welcome. Enjoy it all - especially her first 3 albums: The Kick Inside, Lionheart and Never for Ever
Maravilhosa
Her performance on Top of the Pops is incredible especially when you think she was 17!
Adorável "redescoberta"
@@alisdairmckenzie And Hounds of Love!! :O
What I love about her is how she doesn't (or didn't) really care about looking pretty while singing. She opens her eyes & mouth up wide when she sings, it's like her facial expression is an instrument on it's own.
KateBushFrenchfan Yeah, I know.
David Pavlas elle a une voix incomparable avec des expressions faciales et gestuelles fantastiques. C'est toute une génération de chanteuses sublimes.
J'étais amoureux de sa musique et de sa voix quand j'étais enfant puis adolescent. Et quand j'ai vu ses vidéos sur UA-cam quelques années après, je suis tombé amoureux d'elles aussi...J'étais très fan et je suis devenu super fan
David Pavlas natural beauty there that's why

The number one female artist of all time ! This, and Running up that hill are timeless classics. Absolute masterpieces !
Just another timeless song by the amazing Kate Bush ❤
About time.
Just another??? her best!!
@@AlvaroVega75 Too many to choose.
The most beautiful music in the world.
👍
Good GOD
vc é brasileira
She sounds like a Muppet
Opulence Phoenix no you sound like one
I do not understand how people prefer the 'red dress' version to this one. Considering the context of this song and what it's about and the character she is playing, this version utterly nails it. Right from that first 'rising up' she does; it's perfect.
I'm overwhelmed by both.
The version 2 with Bush dancing in a red dress is filmed at Wuthering Heights.
idk i kind of like how low-budget the other one feels. feels more personal for some reason.
I like that there's less overlay on the second one. I feel like both have their merits and people can like what they like.
It doesn't affect your life or negatively impact others, so who cares at the end of the day?
I’ve loved this as long as I can remember, from hearing it from my mum at 4 in the morning at 5 years old 😂
What a performance.....takes your breadth away. Stunning, sensational...!!!
I love how she doesn’t write music or make music videos to please the industry and has her own style that she sticks to. Her dancing is amazing and has influenced so much of modern contemporary dance. She is a legend!
She is, or was, an artist, a term so hollowed out now by today’s … pop performers who revel in their million-dollar-budget pop videos, the icing and the cake as far as they and their cultural executive overseers are concerned when it comes to product or content or whatever godawful term is used in the entertainment business. But back in the 70s, a pop video was mere icing on the cake. In other words, the song carried the video, if anything. It could only be cheap. Incidentally, Kate Bush was the first female pop star, or artist, (of any nationality) to have a self-penned number one song in the British charts, at the time in early 1978. By that stage, the pop charts were really only twenty years old. Perhaps there were other lady song-writers who had written no 1 hit songs for other sole artists and bands. Kate Bush had also received mime classes, as I think I can recall from reading about her once, from mime artist Lindsay Kemp, who had worked with a very young David Bowie in the late 60s. Both Bush and Bowie were leggy, fluid movers.
Is the increasingly politically correct mantra of today that you may not write what you like bedevilling creative expression down to the grassroots level and increasingly resulting in anodyne works? Kate Bush was only about 19 years old when she put out Wuthering Heights. The 70s was a very politically incorrect decade, some say too much. Now, in the Tik Tok age, people form up into their vague little cliques and tribes and stew there. And the artistic impulse is dead in the dross. What we have in terms of songs, films, tv and books wittering nonsense.
Super muza najlepsza kocham ją bardzo jest piękna muzyka miłości
@@rustshoo5068 I think artistic impulse is definitely alive, especially in music. I just don't think you're looking hard enough
Definitely. 👋
i read Wuthering Heights because of this song. It's possibly the saddest love story ever written.
I listened to this song because of Wuthering Heights. :D
You need to buy another copy and throw em both away!
I'm a grown up and it made me cry.
It's an amazing piece of classic literature but it's not a love story.
When I read it, my first thought was "So, seriously dysfunctional relationships isn't just a 21st century thing, then"
Now this is what a music video should be: ART...And one of the greatest songs ever too! Maybe this could still be a hit song in the USA, it's not too late, look at "Running up that Hill", finally in the top ten in the USA this week! Some useless trivia: "Wuthering Heights" was played on the very first day of MTV...
It's an absolute gem.
I didn't know that.. That is interesting..
Finally people are noticing this music
I must have listened to this song about 1000 times, and every single time I do it gives me goosebumps and chills - she is amazing
*1978: "Wow, this song is amazing!"*

She has done so many masterpieces - this is possibly the ultimate one:

Bush
A true original and one of the most recognisable voices is music. Kate Bush inspired so may artists and genre's of music including Pop, Rock and even Hip Hop. Inspirational is an understatement.
I've lost count how many times I've watched this over the years. Still makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. Insanely talented woman!
Faço das suas palavras a minha... ❤
This was mind-blowingly original when it was released in 1977. Coming back to it over 40 years later, it's still one-of-a-kind. It's a timeless work of genius.
Still mind blowing!!
1:15 - The chord progression here was absolutely stunning. So haunting and original.
Definitely. And that guitar solo is simply... Wow! Totally speechless.

Have you done Them Heavy People video? I could loop that all day!
It really is quite addictive. An extraordinary musical masterpiece.
Haunting like the story, like Cathy and Heathcliff. Something otherworldly about it. She captured the essence of that masterpiece.
