- A great song from her 1982 album "The Dreaming". It features Richard Thornton on backing vocals. The voices at the end are sampled from Kate's answering machine.
Lyrics:
The first time I died
Was in the arms of good friends of mine.
They kiss me with tears.
They hadn't been near me for years.
Say, why do it now
When I won't be around, I'm going out?
"We needed you
To love us too.
We wait for your move."
Only tragedy allows the release
Of love and grief never normally seen.
I didn't want to let them see me weep,
I didn't want to let them see me weak,
But I know I have shown
That I stand at the gates alone.
"I needed you
To love me too.
I wait for your move."
All the love, all the love,
All the love we should have given.
All the love, all the love,
All the love you could have given.
All the love, all the love,
All the love...
The next time I dedicate
My life's work to the friends I make,
I give them what they want to hear.
They think I'm up to something weird
And up rears the head of fear in me.
So now when they ring
I get my machine to let them in.
"I needed you
To love me too.
I wait for your move."
All the love, all the love,
All the love you should have given.
All the love, all the love,
All the love we could have given.
All the love, all the love,
All the love...
"Take care, tootle-ooh."
"Bye-bye."
"Bye, so long now." [uncertain]
"Bye!"
"Later."
"Bye-ee!"
"Cheerio."
"Bye!"
"Bye-bye."
"Bye."
"stay healthy." [uncertain]
"Bye-ee!"
"Bye."
"Cheers."
"See ya, luv."
"Bye!"
"Good bye."
"I'll see ya, luv."
"Good night."
"We needed you
To love us too.
We wait for your move."
Kate about 'All The Love'
"Although we are often surrounded by people and friends, we are all ultimately alone, and I feel sure everyone feels lonely at some time in their life. I wanted to write about feeling alone, and how having to hide emotions away or being too scared to show love can lead to being lonely as well. There are just some times when you can't cope and you just don't feel you can talk to anyone. I go and find a bathroom, a toilet or an empty room just to sit and let it out and try to put it all together in my mind. Then I go back and face it all again.
I think it's sad how we forget to tell people we love that we do love them. Often we think about these things when it's too late or when an extreme situation forces us to show those little things we're normally too shy or too lazy to reveal. One of the ideas for the song sparked when I came home from the studio late one night. I was using an answering machine to take the day's messages and it had been going wrong a lot, gradually growing worse with time. It would speed people's voices up beyond recognition, and I just used to hope they would ring back again one day at normal speed.
This particular night, I started to play back the tape, and the machine had neatly edited half a dozen messages together to leave "Goodbye", "See you!", "Cheers", "See you soon" .. It was a strange thing to sit and listen to your friends ringing up apparently just to say goodbye. I had several cassettes of peoples' messages all ending with authentic farewells, and by copying them onto 1/4'' tape and re-arranging the order, we managed to synchronize the 'callers' with the last verse of the song.
There are still quite a few of my friends who have not heard the album or who have not recognised themselves and are still wondering how they managed to appear in the album credits when they didn't even set foot into the studio ».
(Kate Bush Club newsletter, October 1982)
Very melancholy......Often think of this as a funeral song for someone nobody loved!!!...until it was too late...........................
only kate could take the sound of people saying simple goodbyes on an answering machine, and twist it into something that has real emotional resonance.
This goes beyond listening to music. It' s experiencing wonderful and strange phenomena. Only one artist in this world dares to tread these hidden corridors in the human mind
This whole album The Dreaming is a masterpiece of Kate Bush. Better than Hounds of Love. Too bad this was too "fine" music
to so many. I bought it as a new in 1982.
Stunning song. Inspired, sophisticated, lush arrangement,meaningful lyrics and performed as only Kate can.
There are so many fantastic tracks on The Dreaming that the odd one gets lost a little, until you realise what a wonderful song it is. All The Love is one of those. Love Del's bass on this track. There's also something about when Kate sings in that key that always does for me!
I agree.. I love it when she goes deep...
Kate Bush brought me here.
Kate's music is timeless xox
this song is haunting, ..... powerful .... how does she do it, how could anyone?
my god this woman is a brutal genius
the dreaming as an album is so underrated some amazing tracks on this album
Still my favorite album of all time.
+jake b it's up there
KICK INSIDE ... VERY GOOD ALBUM
ALSO THE SECOND ALBUM AND THE THIRD VERY GOOD
I'm coming around to Never For Ever, but The Dreaming is a unique album in history. A brave album, by a strong, brave woman.
The only artist who had me running to the shop for the next album, back in the days of vinyl. I was besotted, and maybe even in love. Brilliant and barking
Big thanks to youtube
UGHH!!! I’m just listening to it now! The songwriting! The vocals ! This is crazy genius!
Kate Bush's music always has a sort of macabre edge to it in my opinion, none more so than this song. Sort of like a pleasant nightmare.
Since 1978 I needed you.... and you came through. Up until today and every day for the rest of my life. What an artist.
We wait for her move!
@@joseluisnunezrivera3615 in patience, with respect.
My melancholy mood brought me here.
What I like about All The Love is it's musically like a link between Never For Ever and The Dreaming album and also a kind of forerunner of Mother Stands for Comfort from Hounds of Love. It's like some of the seeds of parts of Hounds of Love are in Never for Ever and The Dreaming.
OMG, brilliant Kate!
Its so lovely to be amongst the kate Clan. The dreaming confirms Kate Bush as the most important female artist ever to come from the UK. I don't say that in an idle fashion either. From the way she approaches her work to the control of her own career she took from the very beginning. We have no right to expect her to be a genius as well. Yet she is.
The Dreaming will be seen as the masterpiece that it is one day. It's amazing that she took that intensity and made The Hounds Of Love. Lucky Us!
Its' interesting that the voices of friends in ''We needed you to love us too ''sound more haunting than the voice of dead Kate.. Her reality of death is more real and their voices are gostly
Steven Wilson did not bring me here. Kate did, but thanks to all your comments I'll check him out.
One of her masterpieces in my opinion
The girl is a musical genius, this song sends shivers up my spine, I love her❤
superb
So STEVEN WILSON brought me here
Whatever master Wilson commands :D
Always loved this track but.....yes Steven Wilson brought me (back) here too
Any inspiration to learn about Kate Bush is glorious. Steven Wilson knows what's good!
Steven brought me here too! This is the first time I have heard of Kate Bush. I will definitely be listening to more.
yep me too...
Stunning song! I love Kate for pretty much the same reasons i love Tori Amos. Both phemomenally talented Singers/songwriters/musicians/performers/dreamers/visionaries etc. etc. I just love the way they can capture my soul with some of the most beautiful, most.... HAUNTING music i have ever heard in my whole life, as is in evidence here! Just LISTEN to that! I am taken on a 'journey', to a 'place & time' so far removed from my current, earthly existence. Will i ever return to that place & time? I don't know. But, i can enjoy the 'memory' of it via sounds and emotions such as this... Love, peace and respect, Kate... \m/ (:o)
klistarf not arf
Steven Wilson brought me here. Not bad!
Likewise!
I'm now in the UK! I shall find this Steven Wilson fellow goddamnit! Yellow Pages here I come!
Mine too... when I heard that it was her worst-selling album (by the time of Hounds of Love's success), I thought, "typical me... fall in love with the one album the rest of the world had no use for..." But I still feel that songs like this one had a lot of depth. You don't find this everywhere.
In an interview she said it was her first gig as producer ("The Dreaming"). Worked her arse off for that one. Go Kate!
When I decide do pick up a Kate album to hear, I always decide to pick up THE DREAMING, because I LOVE all songs on it... and this is one of my favorites among all of Kate's songs.
Man I love the eerie haunting atmosphere of this track. Always sends delightful chills up my spine.
this lp is genius, or cd for this century.
I So much love this song...
the bridges in this are unbelievable
Yep..as well as quite a few looking at the comments, watching a doc of Steve Wilson's Hand Cannot Erase brought me here!!
Another great song by Kate that brings back the best memories.
i fell in love with this album in '82 whe i was 12 i am still haunted ( ney moved to my core) to this day
Yup. Same age. Me too.
What type of music can you find those voices in?
BEST PART 0:44 SECONDS ABSOLUTELY NUTS
Steven Wilson yet again.
the telephone part is probably the most heartbreaking...
Minun vuoroni on tuoda mielipiteeni tästä
laulusta. Olin jakamassa postia syksyllä 1982 pimeässä ja nämä The Dreaming- kappaleet kaikuivat korvissani.
I believe that Finnish is that strange as this wonderful track.
In the twenty years that's passed since 'The Sensual World', the lady has only released two albums, making her very much the opposite of prolific.
If I'm not misremembering, in one of the few interviews she did in conjunction with the release of 'Aerial', she found the word 'cherished' as being a 'just lovely' description of herself.
they dont make artists like this anymore.outstanding kate
Magical time in history
I don't know the fuck Steven Wilson is but I love this song. Sums up how I feel everyday but can't express to anyone.
Like a big Bear that crushes you in the wild as it fears you more than what it is doing to you lol.
KATE BUSH BROUGHT ME HERE
So... another Steven Wilson fan here...
Steven Wilson Hand Cannot Erase documentary brought me here 😍
Happy Birthday to Kate the Great!
So, Steven Wilson brought me here. Haha! Just adding to the ones before. Cheers!
she truly is an angel I love her
Really don't know what it is about Kate. It seems to be a very real, emotive love which has grown deeper over the years. I'd liken it to a blending of the listener into the music, for which no other artist has the same impact ... and I love many artists from many different and diverse styles. Thank fuck Kate is there, she is a transport of delight; a reminder that there is an awakening on other levels of conciousness
Steven wilson, yep.
brill
All we needed was the love we should have given each other.
This song meant a lot to me when I was going through a bad time years ago, I could totally relate to it, Kate is such a lyrical genius.
LOL Steve brought me here as well.Cant wait for that album in Feb. I also have this album from years back. I just couldn't remember the track.
I am here because of Kate (but i also love Steven Wilson so much!)
My son ben brought me here.
[Verse 1: Kate Bush]
The first time I died
Was in the arms of good friends of mine
They kiss me with tears
They hadn't been near me for years
Say, why do it now
When I won't be around, I'm going out?
[Pre-Chorus 1: Richard Thornton]
We needed you
To love us too
We wait for your move
[Verse 2: Kate Bush]
Only tragedy allows the release
Of love and grief never normally seen
I didn't want to let them see me weep
I didn't want to let them see me weak
But I know I have shown
That I stand at the gates alone
[Pre-Chorus 2: Richard Thornton]
I needed you
To love me too
I wait for your move
[Chorus: Kate Bush]
All the love, all the love
All the love we should have given
All the love, all the love
All the love you could have given
All the love, all the love
All the love
Run for the hills
[Verse 3: Kate Bush]
The next time I dedicate
My life's work to the friends I make
I give them what they want to hear
They think I'm up to something weird
And up rears the head of fear in me
So now when they ring
I get my machine to let them in
[Pre-Chorus 2: Richard Thornton]
I needed you
To love me too
I wait for your move
[Chorus: Kate Bush]
All the love, all the love
All the love you should have given
All the love, all the love
All the love we could have given
All the love, all the love
All the love

[Outro: Richard Thornton]
We needed you
To love us too
We wait for your move
Yes, to a rosegrowingold. Yes. Because she was organic. Because she wanted to. Because there were no videos to watch and because she was young. She made it up with her best honest intentions. And some who have loved her said, "But Tori Amos tours!" , Kate Bush chipped away and chipped away and blocked off the world to chip away some more at her craft and there it is. Done." Thanks to Videobeat in Evanston Illinois for having her vids but Kate is Kate and there is no other. Timeless yet then,
For Kate I wait :)
Kate's music is always different, unusual, never boring.
Play this at my funeral
I wish I could write.
I must have listened to this album hundreds of times, yet it never loses its power to stop me in my tracks. The experience is like immersing yourself into an undersea world of Kate's emotion and insight. Definition of aesthetic:
aes·thet·ic Adjective /esˈTHetik/
Concerned with beauty or the appreciation of beauty
the pictures give great aesthetic pleasure
Giving or designed to give pleasure through beauty; of pleasing appearance
The Dreaming makes darkness aesthetic.
Ver nice! The choirboy singing in this reminds me of her son in 50 Words...
Whenever I listen to this song now, I always think it's her son too but then I remember this song is like 30-35 years before he existed lmao
she is a bloody genius...
Well, it´s not gloomy if your fantasy
is free. It´like wandering in a ghost place.
Like English moors for example. This the
same for may of The Dreaming songs, too.
Oh, what would I give to be born earlier and to meet her under the ivy as her first boyfriend? Everything!
Some of these pics are new to me and I have been looking at her for 25 years. Good one man.
Wherever you are now, my love, please forgive me .
Who the fuck is Steven wilson? I came for Kate...but clearly he sis a man of taste.
"But I know I have shown
That I stand at the gates alone"
That line has stuck with me all my life even through all relationships and friendships.
I will never have full words for Kate's song writing genius and musical talent.
Pure Love and Peace to Everyone. Very Best Wishes.
That last picture looks like a tomb stone. :(
How on earth can there be two dislikes on this song ??? -
Słuchałem tej płyt gdy miałem 14 lat ,zrobiła na mnie niesamowite wrażenia ,słuchałem ma okrągło ,po 30 latach telepie mną tak samo jak wtedy ,genialna muzyka ,zawsze młoda
Its so beautiful it hurts
....
God (SW) brought me here
I agree. It's probably my third favorite album from her, and on some days it is number one for me.
The Dreaming was my first Kate vinyl record. Well ahead of its time, once again. Magnificent, oh so powerful, and full of mystery. She blows my mind.
Thanks Steven
I can t understand why this album didn t happen. The songs and lyrics are so powerful, compelling , dramatic. All the love you should have given, All the love we could have given...it gives me goose-bumps all over (sobs)
The album was number 3 in UK chart, the singles flopped
Thanks for putting up so many of Kate's songs.
I've been a fan of this lady for 31 years now (wow I'm old!) and was lucky enough to attend one of her live performances (for the first time in 35 years!) at Hammersmith in 2014. I actually initially created my UA-cam channel 5 years ago so I could watch all of her videos, which I hadn't seen for many years, and it grew to other artists from there on.
I'm also quite a fan of Steven Wilson too...he's kind of like the male version of her lol! Many commentators here say he brought them here. Could someone please tell me where exactly SW mentions to check out Kate Bush...just curious? She's sadly a bit of a forgotten artist nowadays, so more new blood getting into her once ground breaking music the better!
Nobody answering to my request then...oh well.
Finally someone answered my enquiry...thanks.
this is my fav album
who is Steven Wilson anyone please
He's an artist and producer, also guitar player for the progressive rock band Porcupine tree, and various other projects. The reason people are attracted to this song because of him is because he mentioned that Kate Bush, and this song in particular was a big inspiration for one of his tracks on his recent album "Hand. Cannot. Erase." You should check it out.
+Sincoola27 thanks sincoola27 will do
Productive:
Capable of producing something, especially in _abundance_.
Synonyms:
prolific
fertile
fruitful
What can be said about this, is that Kate herself has done very little to deserve the epithet 'prolific', even if she should inspire other artists to produce work of abundance.
Woody Allen makes one film per year.
He's prolific.
@claude1918 I like your technical observations of this amazing song! I hadn't paid much attention to the sighs before! Reminds me of the last lines of a poem by Count Louis Hamon (Cheiro) called 'If Only We Knew':
Regrets are useless and tears are blind
And empty words can no past undo
It's no good sighing - "I'd have been more kind
If I only knew - If I only knew!"
This listening of this song just encapsulates my whole Junior Cert and T.Y. years, ahh the memories of listening to Kate Bush!!!! It has been criminally too long!!! All the love I could have given!!!! Stupid schooling!!!
many many thanks for posting this song and lyrics. since i am not English speaking man,
i have been unable to understand the meaning of the song. but now i see what she says.
thank you again!
I was also here because of Wilson
Hah I found this music myself! Take that fellow Wilsonites!
Ditto what MysticalMoon said: I'd never seen some of these pictures, they're great! And I'm surprised anyone could find new ones I hadn't already seen...
That makes no sense, her soul isn't quiet, it a musical spirit, explain how you don't understand that?????????????????
thank you for feeling a connection today with some one else who shares in similar sentiments Ce le bon
Gospiti po miloi
Beyond glorious.
No one can touch her.
Incidentally, a loose woman could actually rightfully be called prolific.
I never thought about that.
Calling Kate Bush prolific is a bit like referring to her as 'that blonde woman'.
Haha I'm in that mood now too and you're right, yet you wrote that comment 3 years ago. Nice!
