I'm a 65 year old retired pipe-fitter, from flyover Missouri, and I don't think, since stumbling on to her a couple years ago, any single musical artist has ever, EVER moved me so profoundly. At the risk of what? rank emotionalism, the feeling she stirs up in me border on the religious. I thank God I found her.
Did basic training in 1985 Fort Leonard Wood then got stationed in Germany. That's when I discovered Kate Bush. It was kind of a religious experience.
@@thomasbarchen Prost !
I am a 63 year old Brit, living in Brussels. I was in love with Kate from the beginning but it was Hounds of Love that it went into overdrive. She has been with me all my life and I thank god for that. I was fortunate to see her in concert in London when she played the Hammersmith Apollo and that was a beautiful and almost religious experience that I will never forget. I am really happy that you found her.
@@pauli2169 Paul, Sir...thank you for your warm sentiment. Since around 2016, and due to the wonders of U-tube, I've become a bit of an Anglophile. Perhaps that's why the Algorithm steered me to Kate. If it did, then God bless its technological, little black-heart.
Always was a fan of everything British from Shakespeare to Beckett to Pinter to Peter O'Toole to Elvis Costello and all points fore and aft; but Ms. Bush sealed the deal. Very lucky you are indeed, to have seen her live. I once wrote in a comment to one of her videos that:
"I hope to see her in Heaven. I think that I shall...I will."
Cheers mate!
From upstate, NY, I discovered her in 1986 and that was it. The best part of being late to the party is that we got multiple albums at once to fall in love with.
In your case you got all those albums without having to wait.
I don't remember who wrote this but I agree whole-heartedly, 'there are two types of people in the world, those who love Kate Bush and those who are wrong...'
spot on
yes. a journalist, I recall reading that. and of course it's accurate. or as I like to put it, Kate is God, Amen. Woe be to the unbelievers, trapped in a hell of their own making. :)
@@MobiusBandwidth To quote the apostle James,"God is love" and our beautiful Katey has spread plenty of love to her fans thru the decades. Been a fan since I was a kid and first saw her videos in the early 80's.
@@oliviaromao when I was stationed in Korea, back in the early 90's, I noticed young lieutenant looking at The Sensual World at the base exchange. She said that she thought Kate Bush never really caught on in the U.S. was because her music was too operatic for American pop music. I couldn't disagree.
I'm right there, kitten - I've been loving KB since the beginning - she is unique in so many ways
I'm a 56 year old lifelong metalhead and you'll get no argument from me here.
Our Kate's a national treasure and us Brits won't have anything said about her.
Theres only word for Kate Bush and that word is inimitable.
She is, quite simply, unrivalled perfection.
I love all music , I’m a musician I play lots of instruments , people like Kate and Bjork are genius , absolutely no one like them , they were gifted the gift of sound and they ran with it , it everything has to fit a genre , some people are just incredible
As a norwegian metalhead, I am so envious of your right to boast of that shared nationality. I have loved her music since I first heard her in 1980 or 81.
I'm somewhat older, a Zeppelin, Yes , Floyd prog lover. She was as a teen a secret pleasure, I realise now we were many in truth.......
She’s Irish.
@@ClannCholmain She was born in England and has always lived in England.
Kate Bush is one of the few artists who I think deserves to be called a musical genius. She's a true original that's often been imitated, but there's only one Kate.
Yes and Prince
I’d call her one of the most unique artists of either gender. So many young artists in their teens would be so happy to get a deal that they’d allow themselves to be packaged and promoted however the label wanted. Kate had a sense of self advanced for her age and wouldn’t be boxed in
That is the most admirable quality she has it's amazing she had that and at such a young age. I totally agree with you I think she must have been born with that quality already and a family that nurtured and supported her in that.
She was very fortunate that she met Gilmour when she did. However, I think she's great.
I would say Bjork was more unique than Kate Bush, by nearly a mile
I don’t know, there’d be no Bjork without Kate Bush. But I do need to delve deeper into her catalogue. I know she was a child prodigy
Bjork would be different without that ingredient I should say. Not that there’d be no Bjork
Her creativity is perfectly balanced with her intelligence.
Paid Actor.
@@markyboy531 Meaningless comment.
@@althepalno1164 I agree.. literally can't figure out what it means

@@markyboy531 ur obsessed
I was 17 in 1978 when 'Wuthering Heights' was released and there was NOTHING like it at the time, nothing. It was a game changer and blew me away and I have been a fan ever since. Kate has a unique vocal style and a beauty to her song writing. She did all that she has done her own way, on her terms.
There never ever was anything like her: not before, not during, not later. Absolutely sui generis....
I was the same age and had just started working, I remember hearing Wuthering Heights on the radio for the first time and it made me stop still and listen, I then went out and bought the Kick in side album , I’ve been a fan ever since.
Kate is a completely uniquely talented and original person, there is no one like her.
I was 18 in 1978 and the only poster that i ever put on my bedroom wall was of Kate Bush. Simply the best!
The dancing was pure 70’s top of the pops pans people, young generation. Dull looking for new moves. These dullards went round preaching to the young teens who turned their backs on the previous generation who trying to be current. New wave was beyond the beatniks
Yeah, turned 18 only 4 months after it was released, can remember lying in this flat listening to a 8 track of her first album with a bunch of friends, as soon as some goon tried to sing along we howled that fool down!
she wrote the man with the child in his eyes when she was 13! She is a unique talent
sometimes some people are more creative earlier in life than later.
"The Dreaming" has always been my absolute favorite Kate Bush album.
hated the production on it
The passion in this album is just crazy, it makes something that otherwise would be unlistenable (like The Dreaming) and make it really interesting, to say the least. Anyway, Pull Out the Pin is such a masterpieces.
Me too
"The Dreaming" is not just my favorite Kate Bush album, but my favorite album of all time.
Great album, lionheart is also underrsted
I am a 69 year old man and have been in love with her and her music since her 1st album.When I listen to Kate now its nostalgia and beauty brings me to tears.
She walked into the studio and performed “ wuthering heights “ in one take , unbelievable.
I would've loved to have been a fly on the wall when Dave Gilmour met Kate, aged 17, and her family and they discussed where she came from and how to get her to the attention of EMI. She comes from a thoroughly musical family, her brothers were her original backing band, and I'm sure he was mindful of that.
When you see video of her perform it flawlessly from that era, it’s not so hard to believe.
I remember seeing her on tv performing just that song (on something called the Kenny Everett Show). No one had seen anything like her within pop and rock music at the time, she was as different from everybody else as I figure Bowie/Ziggy would have been six years before - but it was clear at once that she was in command of what she was doing.
@@louise_rose I don't remember the year but she did have one Christmas TV special. One of the things that made it special was Peter Gabriel giving a solo performance of "Here Comes The Flood," accompanying himself on piano. That performance is easy to find on UA-cam.
Wow, wow, unbelievable!
She got me through the hardest time in my life. Music is medicine for the soul.
I am 67 and have been a lifelong Pink Floyd Fan so I startd listening to Kate Bush because of the Gilmour connection. A beautiful Lady, a musical genius and a thoroughly nice person would be my assessment of Kate.
I'm 47 and yes, I'd heard Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God). Though I'm a fan of Tori Amos, I for the life of me don't quite understand why I've avoided Kate Bush I think to a degree I felt she was WAAAAAYYYYY over my head, I gotta say. WOW, after giving her a go. Fuck shit she's a Goddess, she's a I can hardly speak. Damn she's ethereal, she's surrealistic, she's Kate freaking Bush. No other artist can compare.
Yes 😊
The greatest artists in music are often hidden like treasures and when you stumble uppon them it almost feels like discovering an ancient civilization that was way ahead of it's time. Kate Bush, Captain Beefheart, Yes...so many gems that somehow got lost in time.
@@mark-o-man6603 no doubt. I hope this finds you having a blessed day.
Kate Bush avoids us. Her brilliance is her elusiveness.
I immediately fell in love with Kate's sensuous voice and creative performances. Then, I was so gob smacked when I met her that I became a blithering idiot, unable to put, "Pleased to meet you," "It's such an honor," and "Love your work" together into a single sentence. So, it all came out at once as a jumble of syllables. Kate looked at her manager as if to say, "Why have you brought me here?"
Kate is still the most talented, yet under exposed female vocalist and visual performer in the entertainment industry, IMHO.
haha Thanks for sharing this lovely anecdote.
Bless you for your understandable moment of overwhelm in Kate’s presence!
The other night my neighbor played Wuthering Heights... I yelled at him until he agreed to raise the volume. What an absolutely accomplished artist Kate was.
I'm 58 now, and she is part of my world along Lemmy, Ozzy, Led Zeppelin and so many more who shaped my youth.
I'll always be grateful to have been allowed to live in the times of these geniuses. Thank you Kate😘
I am a professional musician and the admiration and respect that I have for Kate Bush is unlimited. It knows no bounds. Kate has brought so much to my life and millions of others. She is truly unparalleled. Kate will forever be a source of inspiration and joy ...
Hi,Lee. Musician/writer/singer myself. You spoke for me as well. I'm so happy for the fabulous and beautiful Miss Kate Bush and am thrilled to know so many adore her.
@@lifeinlimbo2186 Pleasure to meet you.. I know that feeling very well my friend!
@@LeeMichaelWalton thank you...nice to meet you as well,friend. Yes. What a wonderful artist who fed our soul through our ears. We truly do love and appreciate her and I know we are grateful she was able to share her soul with us. Ahhh...what a gift
@@lifeinlimbo2186 absolutely! A real treasure!
Me and my mate were on a school trip to london in about 1977 or 78..we were about 15 ..and we sneaked off to look at Abbey rd studios and walk across the zebra crossing, which back then very few people did..we knocked on the front door of Abbey rd studios and a little old chap let us in..we wandered around the entrance hall for a bit til someone said come and have a look in here..so we followed in the control room of studio 2..we could look down into the half lit studio sound floor and just about make out someone at the mike..we were told it was a new young singer called Kate Bush..I could only just see her..I remember me and my mate were so disappointed it wasnt someone famous like a Beatle.!!.never forget us walking away feeling glum that we hadn't seen an icon at the mike..can you imagine now, years later what we would give to be back there and appreciating the legendary Kate..she must have been recording her first or second album and our school kid naivety just not understanding the moment. What a great artist she is!..how shallow me and my mate were!
Great story, thanks
In my 50s now, I grew up with Kate’s music. I consider her one of the most unique, creative and captivating composer/performers of the past 100 years.
She is criminally underrated and under appreciated.
The Beatles, David Bowie, and Kate Bush - the holy trinity of British popular music 1960 - 2005. She's absolutely brilliant!
oh please don’t put the beatles up there with Kate, they were purely commercial
@@weyseblood LOL, great music (on records that sold a lot of copies) is great music. It's the songs they wrote that made them great!
They’re all Irish.
tell bowie to get his shoeshine box...
@@OdeInWessex
Born David Robert Jones in 1947, Bowie’s mother’s maiden name was Peggy Burns. Like so many others in post-Famine Ireland, Peggy Burns’ paternal grandparents were Irish immigrants who settled in Manchester in the 19th century. Bowie’s great grandmother - Mary Eileen Heaton - was born in 1852 in Co Tipperary.
She is certainly the most unique. She is an incredible talent. Now all the new fans, and haterz will be coming out of the woodwork.
Bjork said that Kate gave her permission to be who she is. Kate is brilliant.
Please see above comments posted about the word "unique". Something, or somebody, is either unique or not unique. You cannot make comparisons like more or most unique. It makes no sense.
@@stephenpain9236 Yes you can, it's called a superlative.
@@katrinamajor4977 Examples of superlatives would be to say that Ms Bush is THE MOST talented musician of her generation or that she was THE MOST fascinating woman on the planet in the 1980's. But superlatives cannot rightly be applied to the word "unique" because it means that something, or somebody, is "one-of-a-kind" or is a "one-off" (from the Latin "unus" meaning "one"). Being unique is an absolute state and so cannot be qualified or compared any more than, for example, the word "perfect". It would be nonsense to talk about different degrees of perfection since something is either perfect or it is not perfect; there cannot be comparisons or superlatives without losing the essential meaning of the word.
@@stephenpain9236 technically, fine, one cannot write "most unique", BUT . . . in this case, I think of it as a measure of difference, which is a spectrum and not an "all or nothing" situation. Someone or something can be "one of a kind" for one very small difference or for multiple large differences. I would agree that "most unique" is overused (and often makes no sense), but in talking about Kate, it feels right.
@@kobayashiMaroo You actually make a good argument for preserving the word in its original sense. I'm happy to lavish praise on Kate Bush: most amazing, most accomplished, most intriguing, most creative, most inspiring, most innovative, most astounding, most remarkable and so on. But I do feel that the quality of her work deserves high-quality recognition and not some half-baked illiterate gibberish, as those presenting this video have written! In your defence I admit that this particular abuse of the word "unique" has been with us for quite some time now. There's an excellent article on it in Fowler's Modern English Usage (1926, 1965).
( Lionheart is one of the very few most underrated albums ever ).
Very interesting indeed. I'm afraid her music is not much to my taste, but I do recognise that she is extremely talented and I admire her for making her own way in her own style. We need more like her
She is an absolute treasure......in no uncertain terms! Definitely an individual! I love her whole body of work.
Definitely a Paid Actor. As most celebrities are.
I can understand why she's not to everyone's taste. I was never that impressed with her early music but I love her later stuff. I think Aerial is a masterpiece and one of my favourite albums.
Kate Bush didn't just touch my ear drums, but also my soul. Thank you!
FINALLY! It seems MORE-n-MORE people are discovering her. She has been playing on college radios/In alt mags/and people in PUNK/underground/alternate crowd adore her!!
If I had to pick my absolute favourite female musical artist of all time it would be - drum roll - Kate Bush. And So Is Love reduces me to tears every time I've ever tried to listen to it. I think her songs reach many people for many different reasons.
Kate is the GOAT!!! I had the astronomically good luck to watch Kate Bush on her Tour of Life in Duisburg, Germany, in summer, 1979 (she was supposed to play in Cologne but changed venues iat the last moment). Too brilliant for words!!! By then I had known Kick Inside and Lionheart by heart, but the live versions were even better than the songs on vinyl, and Kate looked even more beautiful and radiant live than in all her truly stellar photos... Her voice!!! Better than on vinyl, as were the intricate instrumental arrangements!!! Not to mention the costume and stage setting changes, the choreography and the lights!!! She played ALL the songs on Kick Inside and Lionheart (save Oh, to be in Love) plus Violin and (I'm in Love with) Egypt from her upcoming third album, Never Forever... In her own words AMAZING, and one of my most beatiful and treseured memories - a magical evening of poignant and breathtaking enchantment!!!!!
Kate Bush is a Leo ♌ born during the year of The Earth Dog🐕. She has her Moon in Aquarius ♒.
I saw her in Hamburg while on business
So lucky
Kate Bush is definitely my favorite female artist. "Running Up That Hill" is my favorite song of all time.
A boy actually
@@FUGooTube If you're referring to "A Man With a Child in His Eyes," then that's a good song, but it's just not as interesting as "Running Up That Hill" to me.
Something truly haunting about that song. Otherworldly. I’m a hard rock fan but Kate Bush records are as important to me as any.
@@29memyselfandi When I hear from people that Nicki Minaj or Taylor Swift are their favorite female artists, boy are they in for a surprise when they hear Kate Bush
spot on
I still get goose pimples when I hear Wuthering Heights. Kate Bush burst on the world with that song and was a revelation. She was and still is the most original, exciting, enigmatic musical genius of my time.
A wonderful documentary tribute to one of the most influential musicians in my lifetime.
I've loved Kate since the first album and she is as fresh today as the first day I heard her.
A beautiful woman, a beautiful person and beautiful music.
Thank you, Amplified.
Abadan/Iran is n the 70ies and me holding her vinyl in my hands and staring at it for hours is my earliest Kate memory!
Even as a child I could see and hear that there wass something special, magical and otherworldly about her.
She really is my favourite female artist. I listened to the Kick Inside when I was a child in the 70's. Just incredible.
I loved the way she wrote a song about Willhelm Reich in her Cloudbusting song. That is incredible research what she was singing about. I love that song and video very much.
I love you Kate ❤️
Side B of _Hounds of Love_ is a Reich suite. All the songs on that side are in reference to him, and his relationship with his son, Peter.
I played that album at least daily until the tape disintegrated.
@@MelissaThompson432 Thanks for posting that. I am going to check that out. It amazes me that Kate was tuned into people like this.
Willhelm Reich is mostly known for other work and not "rainmaking".
Kate is the best. She amazes me, she is beautiful and more sensual than any artist. Cloudbusting makes my eyes water everytime. Reich was an underground genius who invented things that were too advanced and that's the reason they came for him. I loved the video too, I think it is perfect for the song. So much love, sadness and joy.
I agree that she is and was so influential. However, Joni Mitchell's work is personally more enjoyable and gives that deep visceral response is that REALLY good music's gift to us.🤔🤔🤔!!
I love the description of her being "fully hatched" as an artist, being accomplished at a young age and not as the result of the music industrial process. One of my favorite artists during the 80s while in college.
The greatest female artist ever, fell under her spell when I was 11 and now at 49 I’m still under it and never want to be free from her genius.
Kate Bush is a mix of balladeer and Prog artist. A singular talent.
It wasn't just her vocals,it was her total presence on stage,the way she moved and expressed herself whilst singing.Absolutely stunning,very intelligent talented woman.Cheers Amplified.
Yes. Someone described her style as "operatic". Very apt.
I am a 50 years old men from Hamburg/Germany. I know Kate since Barbooshka. I love her since the dreaming. For me is Kate the best artist of all time even better than Mozart. Her voice, her lyrics and her talent is from another world. Its my opinion. Love Kate forever.
That was the first album that I got from Kate and loved her music since then. What a voice she has.
Kate is unique, but leave Wolfie out of it. Different age. Comparisons are odious. It's possible to love both, and others as well. As a 50 year old you really should know better. Art isn't about lists. It isn't a football match, a figure skating contest or an Olympic sport.
@@ronaldchapman2806 I understand your comment but listen its my opinion!!! For many friends of me is Freddy Mercury the best of all time. For my mother she is 82 years old, is Elvis the best. Its her opinion and its ok. Many greets from Germany
@@JP-wt8jg It was the middle of the night, I was irritated, and I should have remained silent as you obviously have a right to your opinion, even if you are wrong. That last bit was English humour.
I, too, love Kate. I bought 'Wuthering Heights' when it first came out and particularly love 'Lionheart' and her duet with Peter Gabriel, 'Don't Give Up'.
I personally 'rate' J. S. Bach as "the greatest of all time ", in my opinion, and I suspect that Kate, being very bright and modest, might agree with me!
Peace and love JP.
@@ronaldchapman2806 I love the british houmor and the music so much. Many greets
Really enjoyed that - so pleased you posted the full doc instead of edited highlights. An amazing artist.
One of the most underrated, undiscussed, females artists ever... Just put this on through the TV now... Should be a really good one... Thank's again, Amplified !! 👍🏻🙏🏻☝🏻✌🏻👌🏻😎
I know that underated is a bit of a buzz word at the moment, but I don't think it really applies to Bush. She is highly succesful, (both commercially and critically) and she remains popular today after 45 years in the music business.
@@Dave_Sisson - for as influential as she has really been, she is honestly incredibly underrated. Most folks don't know who she is.
Pity.
She's not really underrated
@@rolandserna7805 - well, I guess we all know what they say about opinions.
She is a bit too brilliant to be underrated. Everybody with superior taste is very aware of her.
I’ve never understood people not caring for The Dreaming. 🤔 I got my first CD player the day The Dreaming came out. My friends and I listened to The Dreaming and we’re blown away! To this day, it’s my second favorite album! It’s so incredible…
For me, it's absolutely her BEST album, without doubts.
shes a 1 in a billion natural genius. a true artistic vision her songs are like a sentimental delicate but yet brave and empowering masterpieces
I can't even tell you how proud I am to have been born on the same day as Kate Bush. She was born about 8 hours earlier, I think.
It's a little thing. But it's a big thing.
I love Kate so much!! I was born in '96 but I remember my dad playing her 2002 album on repeat when it came out. It has been the greatest joy for me to go back as an adult and listen to her from Wuthering Heights on.
I remember when I was about 16, going to the Kate Bush Convention somewhere in Hammersmith and being able to ask questions directly to Kate from the audience. Thinking back to that time now, I feel very privileged in the knowledge that she hardly ever made public appearances through the years. She is an amazing and deeply talented artist. One of the best EVER!
Kate voice at times is completely otherworldly. Beautiful.
Unique. Outstanding. Kate Bush's music is gift and treasure to all of us.
Couldn't be imagining my life without her songs. Thank you so much, Kate!
Tnk u
I’m not young but I’m young enough not to know who Kate Bush was until watching this documentary. I’m now a fan. Love it !!!
Welcome!
I'm happy you're a new fan of her 😊
1:01:40 yes. This is why Kate Bush stands heads and shoulders above the pop women who have sexualised themselves for the music industry. Kate Bush understand female sensuality and sexuality.
So is 29:00 to 31:00
Thanks Amplified,
for bringing this review of Kate Bush's musical achievement.
Her music has been a soundtrack to my life right up to now.
I certainly hope that she has more surprises up her cloudy sleeves.
She is a woman whom makes the future of music.
She is so far ahead of us, it sometimes takes us a while to catch up.
💕
OH.MY.GOD!!!!! Are you kidding me???? She's my absolute favourite artist EVER. I just died.🥰
LITERALLY
@@wakingthewitch7855 yes literally.
Uniquely special 🎤🎶
I thought so at my very first listen, years ago. Have been her fan ever since.
She is certainly a one off.To write a song like 'Wuthering heights ' at such a young age is just amazing because as a musician myself I understand how complex it is ...but the real genius is that ..it sounds simple and that is not an easy thing to do .The way the guitar bleeds in at the end of the song is just perfection
Mind controlled boy from inverted family, nothing to see here
@@FUGooTube is that a lyric or some kind of insult...you've got me intrigued
@@brendancronin3796 A truth. Locked in a room and left to 'create'. Hounds of love speaks of MK. ' Brother's' picture book shows a disturbed boy.
Doesn't mean these people do not produce a good song here and there but EX 4 is a truth hidden in plain sight and the bloated thing it has become like so many - Hynde, Harry, Siouxie(almost all those songs are about SRA) - are here to show their true selves for those who have eyes to see.
Women were fooled into embracing masculine behaviour because these freaks were pushed by msm 100% of the time. Gilmour was Bush's handler. Parents were connected and wanted it. he story is fascinating. Hormones only work for so long. Early pictures of all of the above show adam's apples and a package. Further proof is found by looking at their inverted kids or lack thereof.
@@brendancronin3796 Probably best to walk away from that comment......
@@FUGooTube Kate Bush is a boy? ROFL ROFL ROFL
First heard of her when she played Saturday Night Live with host Eric Idle. Kate Bush and one of the Pythons together on the same soundstage. You just can't beat that.
Those of us that grew up in the late 70/80s and were megga fans of all her songs are the only ones who will truly appreciate what a british icon of music she is, she was the soundtrack to my childhood
been a fan since the 90s,her songs hit me like no other female singer that ever graced the listening audience.Grew up in NYC listening to funk and Soul alot,and singers like Chaka Kahn ranks top 3,but this one folks is different.Them melodies are just so gravitating,they stick man.🥰
She is, and I cannot stress this enough, the single most influential music artist of the twentieth century.
No. But if you add "female", that's absolutely true.
@whatnot : IF a gender-based fact is true, then YES. ;)
Steady on!
The fact that allot of millennials and zoomers have barely herd of her I don't see how that's possible, I love Kate but you have to admit it's nieche to most people
The Beatles could easily claim that title. But she is for me the greatest artist of the 20th century. She is easily the most influential female artist for female artists.
I've always found _"The Dreaming"_ to be her most astonishing album ever. I've recently started to regard _"The Hounds of Love"_ as being very close.
{:o:O:}
_(Edited for tyops)_
Kate bush , mad as a box of frogs and an absolute genius
Every alternative female artist has something of Kate in her music. She and Siouxsie's influence lives on in challenging female artists.
Facts.
Kate is both a person, a woman, and an eternal Platonic Idea as well.
True.
Yes love Kate Bush. Went through a stage in the 80’s all I’d play was just Kate Bush. I was like obsessed of her beauty and of course her voice to go with.Every now and then I still have to have a Kate Bush fix. She’s very unique and I’m glad her music came into my life.
Best thing I’ve watched in years. No words can describe this woman’s integrity and talent 💗💕💓
Oh SWEET JESUS
AN HOUR LONG KATE BIO!!! OMFH
OMFH OMFG
THANK YOU

AMPLIFIED CHANNEL IS MY NEW god
I love Kate. I would say she and Bjork are pretty even on most unique musical artists ever.
Great observation! Very different, but even more in common.👍😃😍
Only my slow brain kept me from reaching that understanding 🤪😂
I was going to mention Bjork also....
And Tori Amos
One of our perfect people. I've loved Kate from the beginning. She's talented, creative, imaginative, original and just lovely beyond all reason.
I am 57 year old, and Kate come in my life very early - and is there still. My life has (and are) not been easy, but Kate has been able to - trough her songs - express what I feel, even when I myself could not. She is one of a kind! ♥
Kate is unique! I loved 'Wuthering Heights' immediately, 'Wow' and 'Fullhouse' were beautiful. But it was 'Babooshka' that made me realise that she really could tell a great story with exquisite songwriting skill. She knocked me out completely. I respect Kate so much!
what all these experts in there media expertise tend to forget is underneath all the talent in most artists is a lot of insecurity hidden and if exposed to public life continually it breaks them down, and not all of the people in the street are the same, i want no ones autograph or go to meet a star like kate her talentand musical artistry is enough it brings me to tears of enjoyment all ways has, she will go into the history books on the list of all the greats classical rock and popular as a special innovative and a pioneer in the field of female musical artists, and from the 70's/80s up to the present day a huge amount artists male and female took influence from the Earthquake she made happen to the music industry for female artists, being now my seventies she still moves me to tears with her sweet and sour voice and story line songs
Kate is a true artist. When i listen to her work, i wonder what happened to creativity today. She is by far - an outstanding genius. Thank you.
These times feature a new genius, also unique, and that is Billie Eilish.
just played my vinyl copy (bought 1978) of The Kick Inside . . and yes, she is her universe - unique .
"The Red Shoes" and "50 Words For Snow" are 2 albums I play on repeat. Phenomenal! I need to delve into her other works.
Kate Bush is in a league of her own, her ability to haunt the listener with subtle yet otherworldly audio magic. Thank God Kate continues to work at her own pace and avoids trends and delivers again and again.
1st time I saw her was SNL,,,,way back when, love her!
Who else could put the word Vaseline into a song absolutely remarkable enchanting so ahead of her time unbelievable
I'll never forget the first time I heard her voice when I walked into a record store. I had to have this music!
Wish I could have seen her in person.... Enya, too. Folk across the pond have an advantage.
Kates voice is sublime, it can go anywhere.I remember her voice blew my music teachers mind. He’d heard nothing like her before. Some voice on that young lady.
The Fairlight or fairlite did some incredible sounds where you could sample say a trumpet and slow it right down, chop it up and then speed up millisecond parts to make stabbing sounds and you could do this with any sample. After Kate used it they were used on the first two Terminator soundtracks. It has a very distinct sound like listening to 4K sound. They were expensive though and cost about $80,000 if you account for todays inflation so only top recording studios could buy them. They still sell today for around $15-17,000 and come with 3 thick manuals just to learn how to use them and large floor mounted computer full of soundcards, a monitor, keyboard and mouse. If \i was rich I would buy one because they are also beautiful.
I'm not a big fan, however during lockdown I did give her albums a listen including The Kick Inside. More appreciative of Man With The Child In His Eyes than Wuthering Heights. I like Army Dreamers, definitely an overlooked single of hers & the use of the Violin on Cloudbusting.
...and the use of the violin on Violin!
This woman was an old soul. She looked older than her age when she debuted. Just a brilliant artist.
And is it just me? Or did she and Joan Collins bear a striking resemblance to each other?
She has a slight resemblance to actresses Elizabeth Taylor, Joan Collins and Mary Steenburgen.
So like Mary steenburgen
I see Collins indeed but they are both of Irish descent. I always thought Toni Basil looked like her.
Aerial is a masterpiece. I'm sorry critics and some of the public cant see it, but it is. It's staggeringly great.
The Sensual World will forever be my favourite Kate Bush album. Its showed me the Forest is Crying and I'll forever be grateful.
Yeah I was beginning to think I was the only one who favoured that album, it's production and celtic-esk feel is just something else
Mine too ❤️
I always remember being 10 years old watching Top of the pops with the whole family seeing her perform that first single. I’ve been a fan ever since.
I was hooked from the first time I heard her and never understood how she never caught on bigger. Sure, it's not all as accessible but many many of her sins are absolutely catchy. She's always been a desert island artist for me.
She may have been a little too early, as well. I listened to her a lot back then, but she always seemed like this somewhat ethereal voice with weird lyrics and little else. It's only now that I realize just how far above and ahead she was both musically and in terms of simple craft. That voice and her control of it... OMG. How many singers have that? Not many.
I'd change the title to "the most important female artist", and I mean that as in most influential and revolutionary female artist! So much more has happened since this documentary was filmed, like 50 Words for Snow, Before the Dawn (Tour of Life wasn't her first and last live show yay!) and her current resurgence! I love her so much, I'm so glad more people my age are discovering her now and seeing Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) being so high up on the charts feels surreal, and Kate seems thrilled!
LionHeart!!! So Underrated! I treasure every one of her albums! but Lionheart is my No1...Fav!! It's the essential Kate as far as I'm concerned ! The quintessential British Music Goddess.... Yes... Those who Love Her and all the other fools!!!! I mean?...Who cares about Hits, Clicks and commercial shite!
Kemp also worked with Bowie. I see a lot of Bowie in the way Kate Dances
A true artiste in every sense of the word. Thanks for the amazing content.
In the States there used to be a cable network called USA who had a late night program, Up, All Night that showed B movies, concert films and foreign animated features. One evening they were showing Kate Bush Live at Hammersmith Odeon. I was mesmerized, but tuned in at the wrong time to catch who it was I was watching. It wasn't until a year or two later when a buddy picked up the newly released Hounds of Love that I realized who it was I'd watched that night and starting buying her back catalog.
'I've pulled down the lace and the chintz
Oh do you know, you have the face of a genius?
I'll send your love to Zeus,
Ooh by the time you read this I'll be well in touch.'
Beautiful and haunting lyrics. I was an angry council estate kid raging against the establishment and fully charged up in the punk rock movement. I was round at Stoner Dave's flat when I first heard The Kick Inside and I got it. I still remember feeling the hair on my neck tingling.
That's when I introduced myself to Greek classical literature and the teachings of Jung. I wanted to see the world as she saw it. Even today that song makes me shiver.
Awesome genius talent. Underrated. Liked her since I discovered her amazing unique artistry in 1989 and still find it impressive and inspiring. Sat In Your Lap blew my doors off with the rhythm and vocals.
Stranger Things, season 4 has put her back in the limelight recently (running up the hill) so younger people are finally exposed to her which is nice
A Genius musician and writer ..a beautiful soul ..Love her .
‘King of the Mountain’ is such an underrated song.
Dolly Parton, Carly Simon, Kate Bush and Cathy Dennis some of the best singer-song writers ever.
I love her comeback , I used to sing her recording of running up the hill. My granddaughter thought it was a made up song then one day she heard ot on the radio and said look grandma its really a song.
Carole King too
One of the most unique & talented artists of her time - there’s no one quite like Kate!
Grew up on Kate bush, my mom liked her. I noticed the song being played on the first season of Pose and it hasn't stopped resurging and is now more popular because of stranger things.
Crazy Lionheart was a semi-flopper. It's an amazing album
It's a masterpiece
@@beathusk1018 agree!
Awesome Documentary, this woman is a talented artist. Thank You for posting this!
There is a significant Captain Beefheart influence in her early work which is never really recognised. Her performance as well as music. One genius influenced by another.
Kate great after all those years she sings like a bird love her songs back in the day when where you big on the chert bill board in the 80s keep singing kate well done thanks for sweet music you have left us fans kate x
Kate Bush was born in Bexley Heath and brought up in Eltham, South London, technically on the Kent Borders but not rural Kent as suggested on the doc. In early interviews she has an very endearing London accent she has lost in recent years. Good Documentary. Thanks for uploading :)
Actually, she was brought up in Welling and moved to Eltham later on. She lived in a farmhouse in the east Wickham area of Welling and some of her family members still live in the area.
The best track on the dreaming is night of the swallow and everyone fan knows this
No, it's good, but _"Get Out of My House"_ is THE most astonishing piece ever.
{:o:O:}
Night of the Swallow is one of my goto favorites. Her voice has something about it I just can't pin down - just need to hear it. As for 'Get Out of My House' - nothing on Earth like it. It is a masterpiece and will only be duplicated poorly.
I can watch and listen to Kate Bush any time and all the time. She's such a performer and her presentation is so out of this world. Definitely my favourite artist. Born talented, beautiful in and out. Amazing!
