@@kristianmapage9742 She co-directed some of her videos, but for others, she directed them by herself, even a full movie called "The Line, the cross and the curve". In everything she does the ideas come from her.
The song is based on Emily Bronte's classic novel, 'Wuthering Heights'. The story, as I remember it from school 50 plus years ago, involves a passionate, toxic, love affair between Cathy and Heathcliff which ultimately ends in Cathy's death. The song is about Cathy's ghost returning to Heathcliff and Wuthering Heights , his house.
The song reflects the story quite closely. In this story Kathy returns to Wuthering Heights as a ghost asking her love Heathcliff to let her in the window.
In case nobody filled you in,Kate can thank David Gilmour for her start in the music biz. She’s an unusual and amazing artist you can’t judge by one song.There’s a video of her with Dave on guitar!✌️❤️
This was from her debut album... which is beautiful. Her first two albums are so different that what follows. Any song from her album "THE DREAMING" will blow your mind... Try the title track, or "Sat In Your Lap"... She's the bomb. Her vocal range is amazing... from the highest highs to the lowest lows. She took full control of her career and blazed her own path. The result was daring and incredible.
The Ninth Wave suite on the album Hounds of love is her masterpiece. The albums Never for Ever and the Dreaming are also brilliant. It should be noted she did her own production in the studio for all those. One of the greats!
I agree wholeheartedly with what you say about The Ninth Wave. The thing is, it's a conceptual recording and you really need to listen to it all in one sitting. I hope our friendly drummer has the stamina to do that!
This song is based on Emily Bronte's novel. The last lines in the book are "...unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth..." which Genesis used for a song on their Wind & Wuthering album. Aerial is her best album - especially disc2 A Sky Of Honey.
You absolutely have to react to the "Wuthering Heights" official music video, it’s mesmerizing!!!!! She was only 16 when she wrote the songs for "The Kick Inside"! What a talent!!!!!
I remember well when this came out and blew everyone away as it was so different! She was the first female UK number 1 who wrote her own song. It still sounds really fresh to me. This came out during the peak of the UK punk era which I was really into but I've been a Kate fan ever since! Cheers
Kate Bush started writting songs at 11 already by age 12 she sang, wrote songs and played piano and was performing with her brother to neighbors. A friend of her brother was working sometimes as a roadie for Pink Floyd and proposed her brother to get in touch with David Gilmore, who was at the time scouting for new talents to coach. Gilmore was very impressed with the young lady, who was then 15 and had already written 50 songs. She pretty much was given the go-ahead to do what she wants by the company EMI who gave a lot of trust to a complete unknown (something that would not happen today) and 3000 pounds to record an album and session musicians brought in by Gilmore. 3 of her 50 songs were chosen to go on the album (among them The man with the child in his eyes and The saxophone song), a side note, she wrote The man with the child in his eyes when she was 13, when you read the lyrics you think: "HOW THE HELL A 13 YEARS OLD WROTE THAT?" She wrote the rest of the songs during 1977 and by early 1978 when she was still 19, the album (one of her best I'd place it in the top 5) came out. The company wanted the more rock oriented and traditional sounding James and the cold gun as a first single, or maybe The man with the child in his eyes (a beautiful ballad) but she put her foot down and wanted Wuthering Heights about the gost of Cathy haunting her ex-lover Heathcliff from the novel of Emily Bronte to come out first and lo and behold, she did history by being the first female to get a number 1 song in the UK with a self-penned song. She would do history again 2 years later when her third album, Never for Ever (fantastic album btw) became the first self-produced album by a female artist to go to number 1 in the UK. My favorite albums of hers are The Kick Inside (1978), the opener, Moving is absolutely mesmerizing Never for Ever (1980) my personal favorite of hers The Dreaming (1982) by far her most experimental and weirdest album and coming from Kate Bush, that's saying something. Great album. Hounds of Love (1985) her most successful album. Has Running up that hill but it's the thematic suite on the second side that's the crown jewel here. Aerial (2005) double album with great songs on the first disc and a breathtaking thematic suite of songs on the second. Warmly recommended. Her 1978 lionheart and 1989 The sensual world do deserve a mention and are worth listening to, even owning. The red shoes (1993) and 50 words for snow (2011) are just not on par with the albums mentioned before but of course, we're talking about Kate Bush here, they are not 'bad' by any stretch. They are totally worth a listen.
Wuthering basically means very noisy wind, Wuthering Heights (the novel) is named for a placename (Heathcliff's house) set up on the very windy moorland and hilly country of rural Yorkshire. It's a very old word but wasn't used in literature until Emily Bronte wrote that novel in 1847. Another word she used in that novel for the first time was 'gormless'. Emily sadly died before the novel became a success, it didn't go down well on launch, but it's actually a great read, very Gothic horror. Interestingly, in the early 70s, Monty Python did a Wuthering Heights sketch where Cathy and Heathcliff were each standing on top of hills on the moors, shouting "Cathy!" anf "Heathcliff!" to each other just like in the song, all lovelorn and separated... except because it was so windy they couldn't hear each other so had to do the shouting with semaphore flags...H. E. A. T. H. C. L. I. F. F...! and to this day I swear Kate was influenced by that sketch, especially when she made the red dress video, she would definitely have watched it, Monty Python very much up her street...
The two videos with Kate dancing to the song really add to it. I’d recommend Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush singing “Don’t Give Up” (but again the video is a must).
Hi and thanks for this; a really enjoyable reaction video. Speaking only personally I think there are certain Kate Bush songs that every drummer or anyone with an interest in percussion needs to hear. “Rocket’s Tail” - featuring some blistering guitar from David Gilmour “Get Out Of My House” - inspired by Stephen King’s The Shining’ and probably the maddest song she has ever made (which is quite a statement we are talking about Kate Bush). “Sat in Your Lap” - in which her voice and the drums seem to compete with each other to overpower the senses. “Leave it Open” - just be sure to play it very loud. “Breathing” - (as a first listen ignore the video as it is a bit dated) and listen to the instrumentation, ascending vocals and how the drums help to signal the onset of nuclear war. “Night of the Swallow” in which a relationship hits the rocks because of planned criminal activity. “Pull Out The Pin” in which a North Vietnamese fighter hunts down a US soldier during the Vietnam War “Waking The Witch” - just go along for the ride! “Egypt” - again just go with the audio version, but this is often called her ‘proggiest’ song “Cloudbusting” - where the military march of the drums drive the song on at and ever mor frenetic pace. In this song, “Wuthering Heights” where the vocals were recorded in a single take, Kate Bush sings as if she were a ghost wailing outside your window, pleading to be allowed in, which explains why she sings almost the entire song in her highest register, apart from maybe two notes at the start of the chorus, where instead of rising up into it, she steps down to sing the word “Heathcliff.” It is an extraordinary song (but then she is an extraordinary artist). The record company didn’t want this to be her first single, they wanted another song from the album. But she dug in her heels and insisted that it had to be “Wuthering Heights.” In the end the record label agreed, not because they thought she was right, but because were certain that she was wrong and needed to be taught a lesson when the song had failed. But as it turned out, she was correct, and the song went to No’1 in the UK charts becoming the first ever self-penned no’1 song in the UK charts by a female. The album from which it is taken became the first ever million selling original debut album by a female. The album includes a song “The Man With The Child In His Eyes” written when she was 13 and recorded when she was 16 in David Gilmour’s studio, in which she sings about her feelings for an older man. It also includes one the great “sex” songs “Feel it.” Then there is the title track and final song on the album - a song about incest, pregnancy and suicide, written in the form of a suicide note from sister to brother in which she says that in order to spare him from the shame she is about to do this terrible thing to herself and her baby and the entire album finishes with the words “By the time you read this.” For a 19 year old to do this in 1978 just defies all logic. But then Kate Bush is one of the very few people in the entire canon of Rock music who really do deserve the tile “genius.” Thanks for this. I really enjoyed it.
Get Out of My House was actually a response to Peter Gabriel's Intruder. She heard it when she was in the studio to do vocals for him -- and it is SO creepy that she couldn't let it go.
I love this song and thats from a dyed in the wool rocker. Its truly superb, so evocative. WOW is another favourite as is Dont Push Your Foot on the Heartbrake.
As Hankhank says, the bizarre high pitched voice has purpose - as always with Kate. She is playing a ghost, so sings in that spooky style. The first ever self-written number one hit by a woman in the UK, and all recorded in a single take
Wuthering Heights was the only song on her first album that was written for the recording session and it was at Kate's insistence that it be the single. In some ways it was her stepping forward down the songwriting path she had already been on to prepare her for this album. The two songs you have heard are both indicative of a new phase of creativity, I know your bread and butter is singles reactions but I would suggest listening to her complete albums, The Dreaming and The Hounds of Love for your own pleasure!
This song was recorded in Des-1977 and released in Jan-1978 on a single LP. Kate Bush wrote Wuthering Heights in May-1977 and the song represented the end of the disco music era in the 1970's.
Song based on Emily Bronte's classic novel "Wuthering Heights" which was penned in 1847. In the novel Wuthering Heights is the name of a large house on the Yorkshire moors in England. . In the music video (version1) on UA-cam, Kate Bush plays Cathy's ghost pleading with Heathcliff.
David Gilmour was her starting point ... he promoted her ... there is genius live version he is playing guitar on her greatest hit "Running up that hill" ...
Well worth watching her videos to see her amazing choreography and directing and amazing creativity. This song is based on the famous classic novel "Wuthering Heights".
Morris Pert (RIP) was a member of Brand X. There are many treasures to be found in Kate's catalog. She is singular and brilliant. Some deep cuts to consider are Mother Stands for Comfort, Get Out of My House, Rocket's Tail, Deeper Understanding, You're the One, Top of the City, Pi, The Coral Room, or Misty. You can't go wrong with any of her songs.
She's singing like she thought a ghost might sing. Brilliant for a 16 year old or so, whenever it was she wrote this. There are two videos of her dancing and kind of acting it out that make the song much better experience.
When this came out in 1978 everyone thought she was absolutely nuts. We all loved the song abd it went to number one in the charts. Quirky gimmicky. "Man with a child in eyes" completely blew me away. The most beautiful thing i had ever heard up to that point. What she composed when she was still a teenager is just ridiculous
I’ve had this album since soon after it came out, but this particular song strikes me as a novelty song, it drew attention at the time because it was so unusual, but it hasn’t really grown on me over the years, I think there are better songs even on the same album. She wrote the song at the age of 18, and was 19 when the single and the album were released.
You definitely need to see the music video with Kate dancing and acting out the ghost of Kathy, which this what the song is based on - she's an amazing artist!
While the “white dress” video is mesmerizing, I’m glad you responded to the album version with the full outro. The guitar solo is incredible - it really sings out.
There's a song where she holds a high note for an inhuman amount of time, then finally lets it collapse to a low like a wave cresting, curling and collapsing. It's called "Blow Away", and is dedicated to a young man working for her during her live tour in 79 who fell through a trap door on the stage to his death. In that same song she also references many others who died waaaay too soon and that alone shows the things she cared about reflect an outlook more mature and universally aware than I've achieved up to my 60's, and she was barely in her 20's. I also recommend any song in which she includes herself as backup vocalist and features her screaming. Her screaming is the most authentic, visceral, empathetic and perfectly placed than any in recorded history. A few examples include "Pull Out the Pin", "Suspended in Gaffa", "This Woman's Work", and "Get Out of My House". Even "Night of the Swallow", which I believe is amongst her very best, begins with a full-throated scream like voice. There are many more, and many more that have no screaming which are amongst my favorite pieces of music all time. I don't know of anyone even close to comparable. It's just that when she screams she fills me with real momentary terror and thrills me at the same time. Nothing else does.
She was a teenager when this album was released and she wrote her own music. Remember this was released when punk was at its height in the U.K. personally I prefer Running Up That Hill or The Sensual World. Cloud busting is great too.
Loved the classic novel Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë when I was a young teen. A ghostly love story for the ages. Kate and the author shared the same birthday. Fun fact - every year on Kate’s birthday women all over the world celebrate by dancing in red dresses in fields to this song. Women, men, kids, dogs… it’s such a hoot to watch. Check out the pages of videos for a great time by all 😊
I Love that Version,you can hear how her voice improved and went even stronger over time. When she hits the same note like the guitar,man thats her magic
she's unique. she wrote a song about early 20th century classical composer Frederick Delius. "The Ninth Wave" is pretty amazing, long track. of the songs with videos, Babooshka is fun and Breathing is pretty special. basically everything she did was high quality, even if people misunderstand it. ;-) and of course Peter Gabriel's Don't Give Up, another sweet video.
This song spent four weeks at number one on the British charts. In the U.K., Wuthering Heights would be required reading (or so I assume, just talkin out my arse). But point is, it's more in the popular culture here than in the U.S. Besides the novel, there were countless films, tv mini series and cultural references, so that most folks there would know the story. It's a Victorian gothic novel where the heroine comes back from the grave to haunt Heathcliff. Kate Bush is a musical genius and demanded she be able to do things her own way from the start.
From this album maybe listen to “The Man with a Child in his Eyes.” She unbelievably wrote it when she was 13 years old. It’s a magic song, also watch the video next time as shes transfixing and amazing to watch.
Kate is a total original. I was lucky enough to see her on her in concert in 1979. She definitely stirs emotions & makes music to make you think & feel. Check out This Woman's Work & the whole Hounds of Love album.
You're now listening to my two favourite artists. Frank Zappa and Kate Bush. (Kate was/is a massive Zappa fan). Please listen to more of Kate Bush, you won't be disappointed. She's a true artist in every way you can think of.
Is she really?? Well, she certainly has taste! She seems like a creative force of nature from my narrow view of her. I can just tell. Probably a lot of versatility in her catalog. I'm excited to dig in!
In terms of suggested Kate Bush songs here are her single releases in chronological order, which might be a way to approach Kate, as you get an idea of how she developed as an artist: 📍The Man With The Child In His Eyes 📍Wow 📍Hammer Horror 📍Babooshka 📍Army Dreamers 📍Breathing 📍Sat In Your Lap 📍The Dreaming 📍Suspended In Gaffa 📍There Goes A Tenner 📍Night Of The Swallow Then we come to. her iconic "Hounds Of Love" album the first side contains the more commercial songs that were released as singles, so excluding RUTH, the remaining ones are: 📍Hounds Of Love 📍The Big Sky 📍Cloudbusting The second side of "Hounds Of Love" starting with "And Dream Of Sheep" is a linked suite of songs, a concept piece called "The Ninth Wave". Released soon after this album there was: 📍Don't Give Up (a duet with Pater Gabriel- again it has a great music video) 📍Experiment IV😂 The choice is yours on how you listen to Kate's music, Kate has such a brilliant catalogue you can't go wrong. Even pure album only tracks are fantastic songs. I hope that you have fun, getting to know Kate Bush.
Maurice Pert and Andrew Powell also played on the half live 70s jazz-rock album Floating Music by Stomu Yamash'ta and Come To The Edge. The live track, Xingu, written by Pert and with a killer bass solo from Powell, is mind bending.
Now that you are familiar with the song you MUST watch the videos. She does interpretive dance as Cathy (Kate is also a trained dancer) and it's so weird and fascinating and enjoyable.
Kate is the best. ❤ Apart from checking out her entire catalog, you should listen to the newer version of Wuthering Heights as well - from the “The whole story” album. Here she redid the vocals. Don’t get me wrong. I love this version from the debut album as well, but the more mature Kate Bush is a gift to all mankind. Also, check out the insanely beautiful album “The Sensual World”.
Bummer that you heard a cover of "Running Up That Hill" first. But you should definitely check out the original by her. I just checked, and it has over 1.1 BILLION plays on Spotify!
It's her first great hit from her debut album, and the lyrics refer to the novel, "The Wuthering Heights". She refers in the chorus to Heathcliffe, one of the persons mentioned in the novel.
This is the Last Song of side 1… L33 please do yourself a favor… deep dive in this 💎 album… and Discography! 🙏 I met Kate Bush in Montreal’ s on the ‘Kick inside’ promotional tour in the record shop I worked 1977-80! I was so fortunate for that surprise appearance! 😮
Sorry, I got to your reaction a bit late and there's already a lot of comments here I haven't read through so I might be repeating what some have already said, but this song is based on the novel Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte published in 1847 about a doomed romance and Kate recreates the moment when the ghost of Cathy appears at a window to haunt Heathcliff. Kate sometimes got inspiration from literature or films to inspire her music. Other tracks to consider by Kate (some of my personal favorites): GET OUT OF MY HOUSE THE NINTH WAVE (a whole album side) THE SENSUAL WORLD THE FOG DEEPER UNDERSTANDING HOW TO BE INVISIBLE SNOWED IN AT WHEELER STREET (with Elton John) Whatever title appeals to you the most listen do next.
@@Pcrimson1 Björk's first wide public exposure was with The Sugar Cubes. She had her first big hit with them: The Birthday Song. The only substantial thing she did before that was her first album, recorded when she was six years old and in grade school. So are you really going to sit here and tell us that she was so influenced by Kate Bush that she changed her singing style from when she was six years old because of that?? 🧐
One of the first times I ever took mushrooms there were 4 of us. 3 of us dosed, the 4th, a musician who gave us them, stayed straight to make sure everything went ok. We got to his pad and he put on some music, piped through his guitar amp (a Marshall). He put, The Kick Inside, on, (the album this is from). I recognised it, I said, "Kate Bush, cool". We listened for a while and Danny (the musician) started laughing. We asked him why, had he secretly dosed too? "No", he replied. "I'm laughing because I've put a 33 rpm album on at 45 rpm and none of you noticed the difference. You, Tim, even identified who it was." Man, we were really that spaced out.
A nice reaction, many people give a double take when they first hear this fantastic song. Being a Kate Bush fan, from the very start, when as a result of Stranger Things new people were introduced to Kate Bush, I prepared some notes in advance on various subjects, one of which was Wuthering Heights ====≈======= A while before Wuthering Heights was written, a younger Kate managed to catch the tail end of a BBC adaptation of the Emily Bronte novel Wuthering Heights when the ghostly Cathy was outside a window of Heathcliff's house wanting to be let in. Kate shares the same Birthday as Emily Bronte and when she was young she was referred to as cathy. In order to get a feel for Cathy Kate read part of the book, interestingly when she did get round to reading all of it after finishing writing the song, Kate noticed certain phrases from parts that she hadn't initially read had ended up in the Lyrics anyway. Kate said that when she sung this song, she was Cathy, she was channelling the character. Kate's vocal performance is a single take with no edits. Kate had to fight her record company to get Wuthering Heights to be her debut single, EMI had chosen a completely different track from her "The Kick Inside" album, in the end EMI released Wuthering Heights because they thought that it would fail and teach Kate a lesson, instead it became a worldwide smash hit. Hitting number 1 in Australia, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Portugal and the UK. It was at least a top 10 (or better) in nine other countries. A single chart performance that would only be surpassed in 2022 by "Running Up That Hill". NOTE: The song structure is so different compared to a regular pop song, and it also has very unique key changes and timing changes. This is due to Kate being self taught and never being exposed to music theory, Kate composes music on the basis of what sounds nice and right for the subject of the song.
She sang this song in a higher than normal range for her in order to create a spooky, ghostly feeling as the was playing the ghost of Catherine Earnshaw who returned to Wuthering Heights to collect the soul of her old lover Heathcliff. You should take the time to watch the TopPop, De Efteling special, featuring Kate singing six songs off of the "Kick Inside" album. The special was to commemorate the opening of the new attraction, The Haunted Castle (Spookslot), in the De Efteling fairy tale park.
If you want to hear Kate Bush doing something that resembles avant garde, new wave prog, then check out her album The Dreaming. And also the second side to the album Hounds of Love. That’s where she gets weird and wonderful.
Add another pointer to The Dreaming as an album worth doing every track on. From good but conventional songwriting on the first two albums, she started to stretch her boundaries, and IMO The Dreaming is the peak of the ferment. After this, the albums get further apart as her songwriting gets deeper and the production more polished, each song more of a gem and less an explosion.
Hey Lee...once again... you're hitting on one of my favorite artists.There is one thing to say...her first two albums have a certain sound that is more POP than ALL of the albums after that. In fact, it wasn't until the third album that she was almost completely in control of her musical output, and finally on the fourth album...she was in complete control. And you can HEAR the difference, But it is a certain unique situation that you are in... You can go in order, and see her development, but remember that the first two albums are very good... but less experimental... and after that.. well.. look out... she can get pretty strange. Which of course is one of the reasons she's one of my favorites.
I can understand being somewhat put off by Kate Bush. In this phase, she was just so artsy. Check out her video for 'Babooshka'. Love your approach to music new to you -- it is fearless,
Kate is a genius who's never had the respect she deserves on your side of the pond. Not only does she write and perform her own songs, she produces her own music video's, she's a trained dancer and mime artist and does her own choreography as well. I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear, on top of all that, she's a cordon bleu chef, producing world class food, but there you go. A couple of suggestions for further watching: 1. The official video for her song "This Woman's Work" which she wrote for the Kevin Bacon movie "She's Having A Baby". This song was covered by the US singer Maxwell who had a big hit with it in the US charts. If you're not "in bits" at the end of this video, you need to check you still have a pulse. Link: ua-cam.com/video/UXzx--YefD8/v-deo.html 2. The official video for "Cloudbusting". Not only is it an amazing song and story, but when you're Kate Bush you can get an actor of the stature of Donald Sutherland to appear in your music video. Link: ua-cam.com/video/pllRW9wETzw/v-deo.html
I don't know about being a Cordon Bleu chef, but I did see a documentary in which she was credited with the invention of the portable stage mic that soon became the Industry Standard that everyone uses to this very day.
wuthering:Adjective; NORTHERN ENGLISH Applied to weather characterized by strong winds. e.g."It's a wuthering day on the moors today" It's bloody cold oop North lad.
She’s got a wonderful voice that captures you. This tune reminds of Tori Amos. As you see in comments, David Gilmour does a lot of guitar work for her.
None other than that bloke in Pink Floyd,David Gilmour,discovered her when she was 16 and promoted and “educated” her. Not a bad benefactor I would say.
Singer, songwriter, pianist, dancer, choreographer, director, producer and, most of all, a story-teller supreme. Kate is unique
I’d love to see her tour with Al Stewart.
Cover design, too, "co-director" of her videos".
@@kristianmapage9742 She co-directed some of her videos, but for others, she directed them by herself, even a full movie called "The Line, the cross and the curve". In everything she does the ideas come from her.
Our Kate is a musical genius. Take a deep dive into her discography.
The song is based on Emily Bronte's classic novel, 'Wuthering Heights'. The story, as I remember it from school 50 plus years ago, involves a passionate, toxic, love affair between Cathy and Heathcliff which ultimately ends in Cathy's death. The song is about Cathy's ghost returning to Heathcliff and Wuthering Heights , his house.
This song is based on the book Wuthering Heights.
The song reflects the story quite closely. In this story Kathy returns to Wuthering Heights as a ghost asking her love Heathcliff to let her in the window.
Indeed. And Afterglow on the Genesis album can be interpreted as Heathcliff's song.
fantastic! I was not aware of that.
You should watch the video of her dancing to this. Beautiful 😍
RIP to Ian Bairnson (April 7, 2023), who does that amazing guitar solo.
As a Kate and Alan Parsons fan, I echo those sentiments. RIP Ian.
Kate Bush a true genius
The band was basically the entire Alan Parsons Project.
She was 18 when she wrote and recorded this. She is singing in caricature 'Cathy the ghost'. It was recorded in one take. She really is amazing.
She is a musical Shakespeare !
In case nobody filled you in,Kate can thank David Gilmour for her start in the music biz. She’s an unusual and amazing artist you can’t judge by one song.There’s a video of her with Dave on guitar!✌️❤️
Look for the live performance of Running Up That Hill with Gilmour on lead guitar.
That's even cooler than Jimi hendrix getting work from the chas chandler
More accurate to say she can thank her lwn talent and hard work rather than some random rock star bank roll
@@LorneplumberLame and unnecessary comment ✌️
This was from her debut album... which is beautiful. Her first two albums are so different that what follows. Any song from her album "THE DREAMING" will blow your mind... Try the title track, or "Sat In Your Lap"... She's the bomb. Her vocal range is amazing... from the highest highs to the lowest lows. She took full control of her career and blazed her own path. The result was daring and incredible.
The Ninth Wave suite on the album Hounds of love is her masterpiece. The albums Never for Ever and the Dreaming are also brilliant. It should be noted she did her own production in the studio for all those. One of the greats!
I think that she did so many masterpieces that for me it is not possible to pick one out and say this is her masterpiece.
TOTALLY agree. While I think "THE DREAMING" is her best album... if I had to pick one side, "THE NINTH WAVE" suite is absolutely top shelf. STUNNING.
I agree wholeheartedly with what you say about The Ninth Wave. The thing is, it's a conceptual recording and you really need to listen to it all in one sitting. I hope our friendly drummer has the stamina to do that!
@@Gill3D Agree... but you don't need "stamina" to listen to this brilliant piece of music. It keeps you ENGAGED. DO IT!!!!!!!!!
Kate is so intelligent and well read
All her work has deep meaning and relevance
Want a collection of Kate Bush material that's REALLY diverse? The Dreaming is a relentlessly amazing album.
This song is based on Emily Bronte's novel. The last lines in the book are "...unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth..." which Genesis used for a song on their Wind & Wuthering album. Aerial is her best album - especially disc2 A Sky Of Honey.
she's up there as probably the greatest female prog rocker imo. so jazzy and emotional.
You absolutely have to react to the "Wuthering Heights" official music video, it’s mesmerizing!!!!! She was only 16 when she wrote the songs for "The Kick Inside"! What a talent!!!!!
Man with the child in his eyes at 14? Just cazy
@@pinball1970 Thirteen, I think. Recorded at 16 with "Saxophone Song" before the rest of the album.
@martingauthier9018 "Wuthering Heights" was the last song written. Around April 5 A few months before her 19th birthday.
I remember well when this came out and blew everyone away as it was so different! She was the first female UK number 1 who wrote her own song. It still sounds really fresh to me. This came out during the peak of the UK punk era which I was really into but I've been a Kate fan ever since! Cheers
Kate Bush 's Rockets tail,hardest drop ever
I was stationed in England in the USAF when this Album came out .... Bought it that Day!
Kate Bush started writting songs at 11 already by age 12 she sang, wrote songs and played piano and was performing with her brother to neighbors.
A friend of her brother was working sometimes as a roadie for Pink Floyd and proposed her brother to get in touch with David Gilmore, who was at the time scouting for new talents to coach.
Gilmore was very impressed with the young lady, who was then 15 and had already written 50 songs.
She pretty much was given the go-ahead to do what she wants by the company EMI who gave a lot of trust to a complete unknown (something that would not happen today) and 3000 pounds to record an album and session musicians brought in by Gilmore.
3 of her 50 songs were chosen to go on the album (among them The man with the child in his eyes and The saxophone song), a side note, she wrote The man with the child in his eyes when she was 13, when you read the lyrics you think: "HOW THE HELL A 13 YEARS OLD WROTE THAT?"
She wrote the rest of the songs during 1977 and by early 1978 when she was still 19, the album (one of her best I'd place it in the top 5) came out.
The company wanted the more rock oriented and traditional sounding James and the cold gun as a first single, or maybe The man with the child in his eyes (a beautiful ballad) but she put her foot down and wanted Wuthering Heights about the gost of Cathy haunting her ex-lover Heathcliff from the novel of Emily Bronte to come out first and lo and behold, she did history by being the first female to get a number 1 song in the UK with a self-penned song.
She would do history again 2 years later when her third album, Never for Ever (fantastic album btw) became the first self-produced album by a female artist to go to number 1 in the UK.
My favorite albums of hers are
The Kick Inside (1978), the opener, Moving is absolutely mesmerizing
Never for Ever (1980) my personal favorite of hers
The Dreaming (1982) by far her most experimental and weirdest album and coming from Kate Bush, that's saying something. Great album.
Hounds of Love (1985) her most successful album. Has Running up that hill but it's the thematic suite on the second side that's the crown jewel here.
Aerial (2005) double album with great songs on the first disc and a breathtaking thematic suite of songs on the second. Warmly recommended.
Her 1978 lionheart and 1989 The sensual world do deserve a mention and are worth listening to, even owning.
The red shoes (1993) and 50 words for snow (2011) are just not on par with the albums mentioned before but of course, we're talking about Kate Bush here, they are not 'bad' by any stretch. They are totally worth a listen.
Wuthering basically means very noisy wind, Wuthering Heights (the novel) is named for a placename (Heathcliff's house) set up on the very windy moorland and hilly country of rural Yorkshire. It's a very old word but wasn't used in literature until Emily Bronte wrote that novel in 1847. Another word she used in that novel for the first time was 'gormless'. Emily sadly died before the novel became a success, it didn't go down well on launch, but it's actually a great read, very Gothic horror.
Interestingly, in the early 70s, Monty Python did a Wuthering Heights sketch where Cathy and Heathcliff were each standing on top of hills on the moors, shouting "Cathy!" anf "Heathcliff!" to each other just like in the song, all lovelorn and separated... except because it was so windy they couldn't hear each other so had to do the shouting with semaphore flags...H. E. A. T. H. C. L. I. F. F...! and to this day I swear Kate was influenced by that sketch, especially when she made the red dress video, she would definitely have watched it, Monty Python very much up her street...
Excellent comment! Thank you!
The two videos with Kate dancing to the song really add to it. I’d recommend Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush singing “Don’t Give Up” (but again the video is a must).
Hi and thanks for this; a really enjoyable reaction video.
Speaking only personally I think there are certain Kate Bush songs that every drummer or anyone with an interest in percussion needs to hear.
“Rocket’s Tail” - featuring some blistering guitar from David Gilmour
“Get Out Of My House” - inspired by Stephen King’s The Shining’ and probably the maddest song she has ever made (which is quite a statement we are talking about Kate Bush).
“Sat in Your Lap” - in which her voice and the drums seem to compete with each other to overpower the senses.
“Leave it Open” - just be sure to play it very loud.
“Breathing” - (as a first listen ignore the video as it is a bit dated) and listen to the instrumentation, ascending vocals and how the drums help to signal the onset of nuclear war.
“Night of the Swallow” in which a relationship hits the rocks because of planned criminal activity.
“Pull Out The Pin” in which a North Vietnamese fighter hunts down a US soldier during the Vietnam War
“Waking The Witch” - just go along for the ride!
“Egypt” - again just go with the audio version, but this is often called her ‘proggiest’ song
“Cloudbusting” - where the military march of the drums drive the song on at and ever mor frenetic pace.
In this song, “Wuthering Heights” where the vocals were recorded in a single take, Kate Bush sings as if she were a ghost wailing outside your window, pleading to be allowed in, which explains why she sings almost the entire song in her highest register, apart from maybe two notes at the start of the chorus, where instead of rising up into it, she steps down to sing the word “Heathcliff.” It is an extraordinary song (but then she is an extraordinary artist).
The record company didn’t want this to be her first single, they wanted another song from the album. But she dug in her heels and insisted that it had to be “Wuthering Heights.” In the end the record label agreed, not because they thought she was right, but because were certain that she was wrong and needed to be taught a lesson when the song had failed. But as it turned out, she was correct, and the song went to No’1 in the UK charts becoming the first ever self-penned no’1 song in the UK charts by a female. The album from which it is taken became the first ever million selling original debut album by a female. The album includes a song “The Man With The Child In His Eyes” written when she was 13 and recorded when she was 16 in David Gilmour’s studio, in which she sings about her feelings for an older man. It also includes one the great “sex” songs “Feel it.”
Then there is the title track and final song on the album - a song about incest, pregnancy and suicide, written in the form of a suicide note from sister to brother in which she says that in order to spare him from the shame she is about to do this terrible thing to herself and her baby and the entire album finishes with the words “By the time you read this.” For a 19 year old to do this in 1978 just defies all logic. But then Kate Bush is one of the very few people in the entire canon of Rock music who really do deserve the tile “genius.”
Thanks for this. I really enjoyed it.
Get Out of My House was actually a response to Peter Gabriel's Intruder. She heard it when she was in the studio to do vocals for him -- and it is SO creepy that she couldn't let it go.
I love this song and thats from a dyed in the wool rocker. Its truly superb, so evocative. WOW is another favourite as is Dont Push Your Foot on the Heartbrake.
Kate Bush is incredibly talented.
Babooshka
Cloudbusting
Army Dreamers
Wow
Hounds of love
The Big Sky
are some of my favorites
As Hankhank says, the bizarre high pitched voice has purpose - as always with Kate. She is playing a ghost, so sings in that spooky style. The first ever self-written number one hit by a woman in the UK, and all recorded in a single take
Wuthering Heights was the only song on her first album that was written for the recording session and it was at Kate's insistence that it be the single. In some ways it was her stepping forward down the songwriting path she had already been on to prepare her for this album. The two songs you have heard are both indicative of a new phase of creativity, I know your bread and butter is singles reactions but I would suggest listening to her complete albums, The Dreaming and The Hounds of Love for your own pleasure!
This song was recorded in Des-1977 and released in Jan-1978 on a single LP.
Kate Bush wrote Wuthering Heights in May-1977 and the song represented the end of the disco music era in the 1970's.
Still got my album I bought when I was 14, play it for my granddaughter now😁
Song based on Emily Bronte's classic novel "Wuthering Heights" which was penned in 1847. In the novel Wuthering Heights is the name of a large house on the Yorkshire moors in England. . In the music video (version1) on UA-cam, Kate Bush plays Cathy's ghost pleading with Heathcliff.
Kate Bush was always a Whole Experience, music, drama, dancing & what a beautiful smile. "Cloudbusting" is another epic like "Running Up That Hill"
David Gilmour was her starting point ... he promoted her ... there is genius live version he is playing guitar on her greatest hit "Running up that hill" ...
@Mr.Thermopyle "Rocket's Tail" is my favourite with Dave.
Well worth watching her videos to see her amazing choreography and directing and amazing creativity. This song is based on the famous classic novel "Wuthering Heights".
Morris Pert (RIP) was a member of Brand X. There are many treasures to be found in Kate's catalog. She is singular and brilliant. Some deep cuts to consider are Mother Stands for Comfort, Get Out of My House, Rocket's Tail, Deeper Understanding, You're the One, Top of the City, Pi, The Coral Room, or Misty. You can't go wrong with any of her songs.
She's singing like she thought a ghost might sing. Brilliant for a 16 year old or so, whenever it was she wrote this. There are two videos of her dancing and kind of acting it out that make the song much better experience.
Like how you appreciated the solo and the bass, two overlooked features of this masterpiece.
Witheringly Heights is a famous novel in English Literature, by Emily Bronte
When this came out in 1978 everyone thought she was absolutely nuts.
We all loved the song abd it went to number one in the charts.
Quirky gimmicky.
"Man with a child in eyes" completely blew me away. The most beautiful thing i had ever heard up to that point.
What she composed when she was still a teenager is just ridiculous
I’ve had this album since soon after it came out, but this particular song strikes me as a novelty song, it drew attention at the time because it was so unusual, but it hasn’t really grown on me over the years, I think there are better songs even on the same album. She wrote the song at the age of 18, and was 19 when the single and the album were released.
plus, she was beautiful and an excellent dancer...
You definitely need to see the music video with Kate dancing and acting out the ghost of Kathy, which this what the song is based on - she's an amazing artist!
she redid the vocals for this some for her compilation album The Whole Story and I think they were improved. any song from The Whole Story is great.
Silent Bob likes Frazetta, and he instinctively starts moving like Kate does in the video. Respect
Lol
I appreciate you listen to the album version for quality but Kate performs her songs and is always worth watching.
Great reaction.
One of the greatest pop musician and singer. And that song, one of the most beautiful I ever heard (thousands times). What outro guitar solo!
While the “white dress” video is mesmerizing, I’m glad you responded to the album version with the full outro. The guitar solo is incredible - it really sings out.
The lyrics were inspired by the film of the book 'Wuthering Heights' by Emily Bronte.
There's a song where she holds a high note for an inhuman amount of time, then finally lets it collapse to a low like a wave cresting, curling and collapsing. It's called "Blow Away", and is dedicated to a young man working for her during her live tour in 79 who fell through a trap door on the stage to his death. In that same song she also references many others who died waaaay too soon and that alone shows the things she cared about reflect an outlook more mature and universally aware than I've achieved up to my 60's, and she was barely in her 20's.
I also recommend any song in which she includes herself as backup vocalist and features her screaming. Her screaming is the most authentic, visceral, empathetic and perfectly placed than any in recorded history. A few examples include "Pull Out the Pin", "Suspended in Gaffa", "This Woman's Work", and "Get Out of My House". Even "Night of the Swallow", which I believe is amongst her very best, begins with a full-throated scream like voice. There are many more, and many more that have no screaming which are amongst my favorite pieces of music all time. I don't know of anyone even close to comparable. It's just that when she screams she fills me with real momentary terror and thrills me at the same time. Nothing else does.
She was a teenager when this album was released and she wrote her own music. Remember this was released when punk was at its height in the U.K. personally I prefer Running Up That Hill or The Sensual World. Cloud busting is great too.
Video for Cloudbusting: Donald Sutherland. Outstanding ❤
@@mattleppard1964 brilliant video
@@fayesouthall6604 The radioactive yo-yo ❤️
Have you heard the extended version that’s on This Woman’s Work? It’s even more exquisite.
I've heard this and running. That's it! I can't wait to hear more
@@L33Reacts Another massive back catalog of masterpieces to dip into. Maybe you can widen time to fit it all in? 😂😎
Loved the classic novel Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë when I was a young teen. A ghostly love story for the ages.
Kate and the author shared the same birthday.
Fun fact - every year on Kate’s birthday women all over the world celebrate by dancing in red dresses in fields to this song. Women, men, kids, dogs… it’s such a hoot to watch. Check out the pages of videos for a great time by all 😊
The version on The Whole Story (greatest hits package) with a re-recorded vocal is also worth a listen. Beautiful song.
I Love that Version,you can hear how her voice improved and went even stronger over time. When she hits the same note like the guitar,man thats her magic
she's unique. she wrote a song about early 20th century classical composer Frederick Delius. "The Ninth Wave" is pretty amazing, long track. of the songs with videos, Babooshka is fun and Breathing is pretty special. basically everything she did was high quality, even if people misunderstand it. ;-) and of course Peter Gabriel's Don't Give Up, another sweet video.
I love her song "Army Dreamers" - check out the original video!
Great Tallent - Kate Bush.
The last true musical genius the UK produced
This song spent four weeks at number one on the British charts. In the U.K., Wuthering Heights would be required reading (or so I assume, just talkin out my arse). But point is, it's more in the popular culture here than in the U.S. Besides the novel, there were countless films, tv mini series and cultural references, so that most folks there would know the story. It's a Victorian gothic novel where the heroine comes back from the grave to haunt Heathcliff. Kate Bush is a musical genius and demanded she be able to do things her own way from the start.
From this album maybe listen to “The Man with a Child in his Eyes.” She unbelievably wrote it when she was 13 years old. It’s a magic song, also watch the video next time as shes transfixing and amazing to watch.
She was 16 when she wrote this and 19 when it came out. She was supported by David Gilmore of Pink Floyd. Fancy having him fighting your corner!!
Wuthering Heights a novel by Emily Bronte
Kate is a total original. I was lucky enough to see her on her in concert in 1979. She definitely stirs emotions & makes music to make you think & feel. Check out This Woman's Work & the whole Hounds of Love album.
Fade out is one of best ever
That guitar is just incredible
Absolutely adore Kate Bush
She's amazing 👏 so talented and unique
So rhythmical and poetic
You're now listening to my two favourite artists. Frank Zappa and Kate Bush. (Kate was/is a massive Zappa fan).
Please listen to more of Kate Bush, you won't be disappointed. She's a true artist in every way you can think of.
Is she really?? Well, she certainly has taste! She seems like a creative force of nature from my narrow view of her. I can just tell. Probably a lot of versatility in her catalog. I'm excited to dig in!
In terms of suggested Kate Bush songs here are her single releases in chronological order, which might be a way to approach Kate, as you get an idea of how she developed as an artist:
📍The Man With The Child In His Eyes
📍Wow
📍Hammer Horror
📍Babooshka
📍Army Dreamers
📍Breathing
📍Sat In Your Lap
📍The Dreaming
📍Suspended In Gaffa
📍There Goes A Tenner
📍Night Of The Swallow
Then we come to. her iconic "Hounds Of Love" album the first side contains the more commercial songs that were released as singles, so excluding RUTH, the remaining ones are:
📍Hounds Of Love
📍The Big Sky
📍Cloudbusting
The second side of "Hounds Of Love" starting with "And Dream Of Sheep" is a linked suite of songs, a concept piece called "The Ninth Wave".
Released soon after this album there was:
📍Don't Give Up (a duet with Pater Gabriel- again it has a great music video)
📍Experiment IV😂
The choice is yours on how you listen to Kate's music, Kate has such a brilliant catalogue you can't go wrong. Even pure album only tracks are fantastic songs.
I hope that you have fun, getting to know Kate Bush.
Maurice Pert and Andrew Powell also played on the half live 70s jazz-rock album Floating Music by Stomu Yamash'ta and Come To The Edge. The live track, Xingu, written by Pert and with a killer bass solo from Powell, is mind bending.
Now that you are familiar with the song you MUST watch the videos. She does interpretive dance as Cathy (Kate is also a trained dancer) and it's so weird and fascinating and enjoyable.
Wuthering ... Strong, roaring wind or windy place.
Kate is the best. ❤ Apart from checking out her entire catalog, you should listen to the newer version of Wuthering Heights as well - from the “The whole story” album. Here she redid the vocals. Don’t get me wrong. I love this version from the debut album as well, but the more mature Kate Bush is a gift to all mankind. Also, check out the insanely beautiful album “The Sensual World”.
Bummer that you heard a cover of "Running Up That Hill" first. But you should definitely check out the original by her. I just checked, and it has over 1.1 BILLION plays on Spotify!
It's her first great hit from her debut album, and the lyrics refer to the novel, "The Wuthering Heights". She refers in the chorus to Heathcliffe, one of the persons mentioned in the novel.
Now listen to The Man With the Child in His Eyes, and know that she wrote that masterpiece when she was only seventeen years old.
This is the Last Song of side 1… L33 please do yourself a favor… deep dive in this 💎 album… and Discography! 🙏
I met Kate Bush in Montreal’ s on the ‘Kick inside’ promotional tour in the record shop I worked 1977-80! I was so fortunate for that surprise appearance! 😮
This had a great Vid with it.
Do it! Do it man....go down that rabbit hole! She's the best :-)
Sorry, I got to your reaction a bit late and there's already a lot of comments here I haven't read through so I might be repeating what some have already said, but this song is based on the novel Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte published in 1847 about a doomed romance and Kate recreates the moment when the ghost of Cathy appears at a window to haunt Heathcliff. Kate sometimes got inspiration from literature or films to inspire her music. Other tracks to consider by Kate (some of my personal favorites):
GET OUT OF MY HOUSE
THE NINTH WAVE (a whole album side)
THE SENSUAL WORLD
THE FOG
DEEPER UNDERSTANDING
HOW TO BE INVISIBLE
SNOWED IN AT WHEELER STREET (with Elton John)
Whatever title appeals to you the most listen do next.
No one sounded like her before, many did after...Tori Amos, Sarah McLaughlin, Florence, Bjork, etc...
Björk doesn't sound like anyone else
@@Alix777. Come on, don't tell me Bjork wasn't influenced. You can hear it in those Sugar Cube songs...
@@Pcrimson1
Björk's first wide public exposure was with The Sugar Cubes. She had her first big hit with them: The Birthday Song.
The only substantial thing she did before that was her first album, recorded when she was six years old and in grade school.
So are you really going to sit here and tell us that she was so influenced by Kate Bush that she changed her singing style from when she was six years old because of that?? 🧐
One of the first times I ever took mushrooms there were 4 of us. 3 of us dosed, the 4th, a musician who gave us them, stayed straight to make sure everything went ok. We got to his pad and he put on some music, piped through his guitar amp (a Marshall). He put, The Kick Inside, on, (the album this is from). I recognised it, I said, "Kate Bush, cool". We listened for a while and Danny (the musician) started laughing. We asked him why, had he secretly dosed too? "No", he replied. "I'm laughing because I've put a 33 rpm album on at 45 rpm and none of you noticed the difference. You, Tim, even identified who it was." Man, we were really that spaced out.
A nice reaction, many people give a double take when they first hear this fantastic song.
Being a Kate Bush fan, from the very start, when as a result of Stranger Things new people were introduced to Kate Bush, I prepared some notes in advance on various subjects, one of which was Wuthering Heights
====≈=======
A while before Wuthering Heights was written, a younger Kate managed to catch the tail end of a BBC adaptation of the Emily Bronte novel Wuthering Heights when the ghostly Cathy was outside a window of Heathcliff's house wanting to be let in. Kate shares the same Birthday as Emily Bronte and when she was young she was referred to as cathy. In order to get a feel for Cathy Kate read part of the book, interestingly when she did get round to reading all of it after finishing writing the song, Kate noticed certain phrases from parts that she hadn't initially read had ended up in the Lyrics anyway.
Kate said that when she sung this song, she was Cathy, she was channelling the character. Kate's vocal performance is a single take with no edits.
Kate had to fight her record company to get Wuthering Heights to be her debut single, EMI had chosen a completely different track from her "The Kick Inside" album, in the end EMI released Wuthering Heights because they thought that it would fail and teach Kate a lesson, instead it became a worldwide smash hit. Hitting number 1 in Australia, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Portugal and the UK. It was at least a top 10 (or better) in nine other countries. A single chart performance that would only be surpassed in 2022 by "Running Up That Hill".
NOTE: The song structure is so different compared to a regular pop song, and it also has very unique key changes and timing changes. This is due to Kate being self taught and never being exposed to music theory, Kate composes music on the basis of what sounds nice and right for the subject of the song.
By contrast, you might like to now try her more conventional but lovely ballad The Man with the Child in His Eyes.
Also, Pat Benatar covered the song and did a great job of it.
She sang this song in a higher than normal range for her in order to create a spooky, ghostly feeling as the was playing the ghost of Catherine Earnshaw who returned to Wuthering Heights to collect the soul of her old lover Heathcliff.
You should take the time to watch the TopPop, De Efteling special, featuring Kate singing six songs off of the "Kick Inside" album. The special was to commemorate the opening of the new attraction, The Haunted Castle (Spookslot), in the De Efteling fairy tale park.
If you want to hear Kate Bush doing something that resembles avant garde, new wave prog, then check out her album The Dreaming. And also the second side to the album Hounds of Love. That’s where she gets weird and wonderful.
First time I heard this song, I felt like she was cramming the song onto 4/4 time. It was so jarring on first listen.
Some of the members you mentioned were in Pilot that became the Alan Parsons Project. Morris Peart is from Phil Collin’s jazz band Brand X
Wuthering is "A Windy Place"
Add another pointer to The Dreaming as an album worth doing every track on. From good but conventional songwriting on the first two albums, she started to stretch her boundaries, and IMO The Dreaming is the peak of the ferment. After this, the albums get further apart as her songwriting gets deeper and the production more polished, each song more of a gem and less an explosion.
Hey Lee...once again... you're hitting on one of my favorite artists.There is one thing to say...her first two albums have a certain sound that is more POP than ALL of the albums after that. In fact, it wasn't until the third album that she was almost completely in control of her musical output, and finally on the fourth album...she was in complete control.
And you can HEAR the difference,
But it is a certain unique situation that you are in...
You can go in order, and see her development, but remember that the first two albums are very good... but less experimental... and after that.. well.. look out... she can get pretty strange.
Which of course is one of the reasons she's one of my favorites.
Wow, Kate Bush! I also mean her song "Wow": un-be-liev-a-ble!
I can understand being somewhat put off by Kate Bush. In this phase, she was just so artsy. Check out her video for 'Babooshka'. Love your approach to music new to you -- it is fearless,
You should check out the “red dress” video of this song. IMO it’s better than the “white dress” version.
Pink Floyd connection, she was discovered by Dave Gilmour
Kate is a genius who's never had the respect she deserves on your side of the pond. Not only does she write and perform her own songs, she produces her own music video's, she's a trained dancer and mime artist and does her own choreography as well. I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear, on top of all that, she's a cordon bleu chef, producing world class food, but there you go. A couple of suggestions for further watching: 1. The official video for her song "This Woman's Work" which she wrote for the Kevin Bacon movie "She's Having A Baby". This song was covered by the US singer Maxwell who had a big hit with it in the US charts. If you're not "in bits" at the end of this video, you need to check you still have a pulse.
Link: ua-cam.com/video/UXzx--YefD8/v-deo.html
2. The official video for "Cloudbusting". Not only is it an amazing song and story, but when you're Kate Bush you can get an actor of the stature of Donald Sutherland to appear in your music video.
Link: ua-cam.com/video/pllRW9wETzw/v-deo.html
I don't know about being a Cordon Bleu chef, but I did see a documentary in which she was credited with the invention of the portable stage mic that soon became the Industry Standard that everyone uses to this very day.
Dave Gilmore persuaded Kate to sing as she originally was reluctant to.
Seek attention
You should treat yourself to "Never Be Mine (Director's Cut)."
wuthering:Adjective; NORTHERN ENGLISH
Applied to weather characterized by strong winds. e.g."It's a wuthering day on the moors today"
It's bloody cold oop North lad.
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
To get a contrast listen to "Get Out of My House." It's insane, intentionally.
She’s got a wonderful voice that captures you. This tune reminds of Tori Amos. As you see in comments, David Gilmour does a lot of guitar work for her.
Gilmour did backing vocals on Pull out the pin in 1982
Played guitar on Rockets tail and Love and anger in 1989 = that's not a lot of work
None other than that bloke in Pink Floyd,David Gilmour,discovered her when she was 16 and promoted and “educated” her.
Not a bad benefactor I would say.
He did not discover her, he did a favor to Ricky Hopper publicist at Transatlantic record and friend with Kate's brother John...
