The ethereal incomparable Kate Bush. Here she takes on the persona of Cathy in ghost form, back to haunt her lover Heathcliff, hence the banshee like vocal style. She is a wonderful vocalist with great range but went for stylised vocals here which are themselves impressive. Wuthering Heights taken from the Novel of the same name by Emily Bronte. Kate Bush was an enigma and totally unique with her theatrical scores and imperative dance and this was her bombshell introduction. She was just 13 when she wrote another hit song "The man with the child in his eyes" She has many great songs from the ;ate 70's and 80's with the most familiar to modern audiences likely to be "Running up that hill" However she has many wonderful track including, "This woman's work," "Hounds of Love," "Wow,," "Babushka," "Sensual World," "Hammer Horror," "Cloud Busting" a great duet/colab' with Peter Gabriel "Don't give up" and my personal favourite "Moments of pleasure" as well as many others. You dove in the deep end with this track and if you enjoyed this you will love a lot of her work.
You'd appreciate it more if you knew Emily Bronte's classic novel - Wuthering Heights since Kate Bush is portraying Cathrine., a tormented ghost. calling for Heathcliff whom she loved but was cruel. to and abandoned him because of his lower class.
This song has been most people's introduction to Kate Bush for the past 45 years (although possible replaced by Running Up That Hill more recently) and I can assure you, after hearing it thousands of times, it never gets stale, it's a beautifully composed song, as you say it's quite simple, and it showcases Kate's 2 greatest assets, her voice and her looks/moves.
@sophiapangloss2149 On the contrary, in my opinion many women sound good, move and look good. That doesn't put them in Kate's class. Her greatest assets were her songwriting genius, musicianship and production skills. These are enhanced by her looks, voice and dancing ability. In Kate's old age, looks and movement have become less important, but she still retains her greatest assets.
This video deserves a like and a comment! The things you like about it are the exact things I love about it, and that cannot be a coincidence. I have this love/hate relationship with her and her music. Some of it is very strange, while other things make me melt into a puddle on the floor. I am a metal head at heart, believe it or not. Kate Bush is probably the only pure polymath genius within the current music business. I can't think of anyone even close to her level of multidimensional talent. She can write, sing, produce, choreograph dancing and perform the dancing her self, she also directs her own music videos. All of this at the very highest level. When David Gilmour (of Pink Floyd fame) found her at a young age, he only had to push her into a studio. She was almost complete at that age. What she didn't know, like how to produce and mix a record, she quickly absorbed and integrated to be more complete. Stratospheric talent. This video was 100% Kate Bush, and her spark of ambition made her take firm control of her own career and music from now on. That spark lit the fuse, and once lit, this video exploded like a visual musical bomb onto the world. My favourite moment is @6:32 in your video, where she timed her pointing outstretched arm to hand to finger to eyes in one motion with the music. Like you said … that is beautiful. She knew what she was doing. Thanks for this honest and beautiful reaction. Cheers man 🍺
Wuthering Heights (the 1939 version with Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon) is one of my favorite movies! My heart breaks just a little every time I hear this song.
Kate Bush wrote Wuthering Heights in 1977 when she was 18yrs old. It was released as a single in January 1978. If you want to know what she was like, think of a cross between Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift....but with talent.
@@scouttrooperjohnny Last track written the previous summer before the album was recorded after her 19th birthday. If she was 17, she would have been so close to 18 it wouldn't matter.
Sadly the guitarist, who played the guitar solo at the end, Ian Bairnson, died recently at the age of 69. This song defies any rules of classic songwriting, and is still just mesmerizing and beautiful. First #1 in the UK for a self-written female singer, kicking ABBA from the top seat in 1978...
She sang in Folk Clubs earlier on, in something called the KT Bush band, in which her brother Paddy was a member. Most of her musicians were all long term in her band, 1 or 2 dying of natural causes, or a lighting technician that fell from scaffolding early in her career. Also famous for her performance 'Live, at the Hammersmith Odeon" (Now Hammersmith Apollo.) Certainly, a National Treasure of U.K....
@@scouttrooperjohnny Early '80s Chrissy Amphlett from Aussie band Divinyls did it as well at the US Festival 1983. She completed it with a liberal amount of headbanging. Angus Young's scary sister.
A lot of people reacting to this don't have the context, which is "Cathy" being Catherine, as a ghost at this point, from Wuthering Heights reaching out to Heathcliff.
Kate Bush is music for the pretentious, the types that write a thesis about how her lyrics subvert heteronormative gender (no really, it’s all queer and trans now). I was a fan in another millennium, but I grew up. I bought all Kate’s albums up to The Sensual World, I missed The Red Shoes and by the time Aerial came around we had seriously parted ways. The total of those six albums produced one track that I play regularly in the car, John Williams’ classical guitar lifting a simple track out of the obscurity of ‘the end of side two’. From the Hounds of Love, The Morning Fog is my one Kate Bush song. Give me Duran Duran or The Human League any day.

Kate drove to the studio in the early morning and recorded the song and video in one take!

Kate’s an angel sent down from Heaven.
She is. She has saved my life.
that's a teeny bit over indulgent

She is singing the ghost of Cathy to Heathcliff, try the first chapter of the book and it will all become clear. Btw, your mum has great taste 😉👍🤘
ALWAYS MESMERIZING!!! JUSTO LOVE HER!!!😍🥰

17 yrs old....

Kate is a living legend. Magnificent. She was known for a 4 octave voice. Remarkable.
Rect to Kate Bush the man with the child in his eyes..you will like it her voice is absolutely different
The man with the child in his eyes is great, as is the album.
Sadly the guitarist, who played the guitar solo at the end, Ian Bairnson, died recently at the age of 69.

Yes that was Kate turning cartwheels
Let me see those Lady GaGa's and whatnots try that...
