"I'm not promoting myself, but the work" is such an extremely healthy and refreshing outlook. Especially in this day of influencers and Entertainment Personalities. She has poured so much theatricality into her albums and her videos, but she realizes that there's a place for theater and a place for earnestness, and she approaches her interviews with such calm candor. A true artist.
Art merely imitates and reflects life but it is NOT real life. Real life is what ordinary everyday folk do in everyday living. Like work, have kids or not bother with having kids at all, do other things instead, kerp house, raise kids, have pets, fall in love, fall out of love, feel happy/sad, die, grieve, get lucky, suffer misfortunes etc. Having dreams eg of being good enough to perform on a stage, be famous is not the same as living in some kind of delusion, like most millennial influencers and assorted 'wannabes' live in nowadays, unaware of the huge discrepancy between the reality of c the crap they really are and what how good they imagine themselves to be. Fame does not necessarily mean you are any good because fam we can be easily 'bought', if you t mummy and daddy are rich enough and ambitious enough to be able to afford to just pay for it, for their darling worthless, useless moll e nnial daughters taught by feminist mothers to 'just fake it till you make it'. An AI fake voice can make you sound good, even look fantastic on a screen, even if you are crap.The acid test is to get up on a stage full dressed in plain clothes and perform live for a critical live audience.In an earlier cultural era, in Europe, cradle of Western culture, arrogant crappy artists daring to get public attention with their trash shows were pelted with rotted fruit etc to give them the hint to get off, go get a normal job, have kids etc.Not waste audience time to see them perform their garbage.
No modern female vocalist or songwriter is even in the same atmosphere as this woman. I would hope, wish, and pray, that any young female artists would learn from her, this is what power is, this is intelligence, this is beauty, not a better example of of a fine human being. We’re so blessed to have her.
I find that Bjork does things that are also very haunting and amazing... Go and listen, because Bjork's songs are similar to Kate's, but they don't sound like copies! I recommend the song "Unison".
She’s very gracious and open in her answers but in all her interviews there’s an overriding feeling she doesn’t want to be there. I find myself wishing they would hurry up so she could go home. I can almost hear the engine running outside.
I've always thought she is an intensely private person, and despite the fact that she has a sweet speaking voice and a nice happy smile she always responds more positively to work related questions and shies away from anything that might divulge personal information. She is, without doubt, in my opinion, the most talented female music artist on the planet, and she's addictive, whether you're looking at her or listening to her.
@@beathusk1018 she really is extremely talented and a genius I must say, but she's just an artist that makes music... You shouldn't obsess over someone you barely even know such an unhealthy way... It's hard to not admire her but being so deeply obsessed that you are ready to worship her is really something else...

Asmr is awesome and yes Kate is awesome for it since I have crush on her as well. You can feel tingles listening to her. If you stay too long I get put into a coma or pissed off. I think Kate is the positive version. There is a negative aspect though more towards someone you live with and then cabin fever when you get shut in with people who annoy the fuck out of you because some thing gets in the way and changes the sensation into hatred for those around you. then you become Jack Torrance (Nicholson) and grab an ax and start wailing on the others because their asmr changes into nails on a blackboard.
"I think when you don't give people anything they make things up." Too true. Kate Bush was/is the polar opposite of the drama queens we see in media today who revel in media gossip and create a lot themselves. Thank God Kate never played into their game and gave them what they wanted. There are too few "Kate Bush's" in music and too many (insert personal opinion).
The most beautiful voice I 💗 always vote for this mom Irena Sikanjic dot of Kate When I need her nobody in art world speek or tell me for she that happened here in Yugoslavia these days is the same we need help special friend thank you
Not normal. Mature and wise beyond her years. She was incredibly mature even at 19. And, of course, talented beyond belief! But I know what you mean, Keith.
I notice that Kate looks away for an instant when the interviewer asks questions regarding her personal family life. But when he asks questions regarding her creative process and her inspiration for albums, her gaze is more inclined towards him. I can completely understand and respect this. Speaking personally, Kate's music is intrisncally deep and profound, involving spirituality and deep soul searching. This is one of the reasons why I am drawn to her... Listen to her talk about the power of love and misunderstanding in relationships... My God,, Id love to interview her and ask her more questions along these lines.I have immense respect for Kate. I have such gratitude towards her.

Sometimes it goes beyond the song itself.... but yeah, Kate Bush is 👑 period
There’s so much beautiful music about now - at 43 I thought there wasn’t - but I have a few younger friends and they introduced me to so much! Don’t expect everything to be shit because it’s not of your/our time!
there’s good music out there nowadays you just gotta look. i feel mainstream music may just be considered “boring” because it’s not interesting, because music that becomes popular is music that is energetic and danceable to. however there are MANY artists out there making music today that have great releases. You just gotta look dude.
Hounds of Love is a superb record. Maybe a contrast in cultures is obvious when comparing Kate Bush and her contemporary Madonna. The difference is simply evident.
Ghandi would have appreciated the marked contrast between Kate and Madonna; when he first arrived in The States he was surrounded by reporters. One asked 'Gee Mr. Ghandi, what do you think of American culture?' to which he replied 'It sounds like an excellent idea!'
I know she’s still got quite a few fans, but holy crap she’s one of my favorite artists ever. My first love musically is alt rock/indie from bands like Weyes Blood, The National, etc., and I feel like they owe so much of who they are (Weyes Blood in particular) to Kate Bush. Discovering that everything I love is just iterations of the brilliance of Kate Bush.
Weyes Blood isn't alt rock or indie. she's art pop! that's the same genre as Kate Bush, and artists such as Bjork. it's an amazing genre, and sadly one of the only genres in the music community where women get recognition.
What a British icon, She did the right thing building her own studio in her childhood country home in Kent rather then spening loads of money on studio time in London I met her twice as a kid among other people in that circle, But even more so her dad Robert Bush-My friend and his family their family GP was Robert which was in: Plumstead South East London-Lovley man
@Baby Hunn Yes I did meet Hannah yes, don't think I would forget that lol Remember when she brought out a massive jug of orange squash for me and my friend-Frazer! Who's nurse, She worked as a staff nurse at Epsom Grove Hospital-Surrey Where you from?
@Baby Hunn Ah good old NY, been there many times since a small kid in 80's for a holiday among other parts of the US! No Hannah had met Robert before he was a GP. And his practice was in London in Plumstead not Surrey! I don't live that far from her childhood home in county of Kent in Welling-I'm also in Kent near Dartford! Have you been to the UK before??
@Baby Hunn Oh yeah, where did you stay and what did you do while you here in the mid 90's 😁 No Bexleyheath is where she was born but the house where she grew up in was just down the road in Welling! Because at that time she moved to London when EMI bought her a flat and wanted to be back in Kent in early 1982! So she moved back home with her mum and dad in Welling and built a home studio there then in late 1985 bought house in Eltham! But wasn't in the house it was a built extension from the side of the garden! Hannah never worked with Robert in Plumstead! Yea she was from Ireland Hannah-Yeah Kate was/is very talented. I'm falling alseep as very late here in UK so if don't reply will do when wake up. 🥱
@Baby Hunn Not a problem at all! I do know of the Adirondack Moutains but never been there, and was also last shown on UK-TV 4 months ago! When you said its almost time for you to wake up I was still sleeping for 3 hours. lol Oh so just in London then-should of got a train into Kent-my part of Kent to London only takes 35 mins on the train. 😁 As I am writing this it is 9am in New York and 2pm here! building a home studio with all that equipment was really expensive, but in the long run it isn't-Typical artists normally spend at least 6 months doing an album and if you recorded that at EMI that would of been something like 3 grand a day so total that up for 6 months! Not just that but also the producer and engineer get their cut, which Kate didn't have to do. + Abby Road would be like 5 grand a day which would ten obviously come out of what ever you made with single/album in the charts! Where as a home studio you have no constant pressure! Del met her in summer of 1976, when she was 18, well to me as I was local and also because my friend and his familes GP was DR Robert Bush it was much earlier meeting them than at a record signing their album etc When d you think yu will be next in the UK for a holiday-I mean been 25 very long years(take it you went before Sept)??
Have never seen this before! What a great interview ..... she's so sharp and outgoing, and you can see the intelligence in her eyes. I have sympathy with the interviewer ..... I wouldn't have done half such a good job, despite the fact I'm now a fan. There's so much material touched on, here. I love her abrupt answers. 'Yes.'! So unlike , say, a politician.
Good old telly yes, even though it's a programme aimed for a youngish audience the interviews were usually very adult not the loud nonsense we get today.
I've adored this woman's work for most of my entire life! I was only twelve when I first saw her video "Wuthering Heights" and was inspired by her extraordinary brilliance in writing, singing, and by her beauty, intelligence, and wit! She will forever be my teacher and my inspirational life force!
I don’t know her for that long, but she’s quickly become my favourite and she also reignited my passion for songwriting (or writing in general). Her songwriting skills always leave me in awe ❤️
There is great sensual , intellectual , emotional , and funky depth in Kate Bush songs beyond the surface storyline of the song. Cloudbusting, for instance, sure doesn't solely have to be just about making rain in the sky - not in my chosen interpetation anyway.
It's interesting how different not just the accent but the inflection in people's voices was different 35 years ago, not to mention how much more awkwardly formal interviews seemed. What I love about Kate's vibe as well is she makes an effort not to come across as arrogant despite having every right to be, given how much she created from such a young age.
@@NeglectedField here in the USA, several waves of migration both from outside and within have also contributed to the alteration and even elimination of some regional dialects. Many different regional accents have softened and become less distinct. Television went a long way to homogenizing the national identity of several languages, not just English. Of course, as I often tell my friends when pressed to explain events both current and historical, it's never just one thing. However, television and film can easily and rather accurately be credited for having done the most to change the way people speak.
@@NeglectedField the changes in speech have continued as the media has changed who are their featured speakers and chosen idols. Back then artists such as Kate tended to be more eloquent and intelligent. Now the media and music industry are cluttered with functional illiterates who struggle to form a complete sentence.
@@felixmarvin1199 In England, way before I was born there were distinct Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex and Kent dialects. Now they've broadly melded into one and within the South East in general, people's dialects are at least seemingly more split by age, class and ethnicity, now.
I see others have mentioned it and I always find it stands out in any interview, her intelligence. Yes, she is very beautiful, off the planet talented/creative, has a unique voice and is very modest but above all, it's her intelligence that stands out. No other singer, past or present, male or female comes close. Love to know what her IQ is. There are many genres in music, but she has one of her own, the Kate Bush genre. She's in a league of her own. I've been in love with this lady since '78.
2:16 I felt the same about school but was stupid enough to carry on with A-Levels at college and Bachelors degree at University. They just try to give you the false hope that working in an office at a higher level will really benefit and fulfil you in your life - what a lie that was.
Here in the US I first discovered Kate right about the time of this interview when listening to a radio interview with the legendary Scott Muni in NYC. She was so lovely and gracious. Been a big fan since. Seeing her perform is on my bucket list.
1:25 is so sad why do people care so much about her weight and looks when she said herself its about the music not her! when she did a comeback and released Ariel the horrible comments were so uncalled for as they weren't critiquing the music, but Kate herself!
Kate is so soft-spoken. She would be great in ASMR😉. I really like this interview (in opposite to that infamous Nightflight one 🤦). She seems to enjoy it. Kate is a musical genius, I love her greatly. Her "The Dreaming" album is my top1 of all time and the song "Breathing" from "Never for ever" is a masterpiece Greetings to every Kate's fan from Poland.😃♥️
Thanks for sharing this wonderful interview. She is articulate, captivating, really talented, and quite beautiful. Credit to the interviewer who posed interesting questions and let us listen to the answers.
Kate Bush was an amazing music genius and still is. She was so young and doesn't get nearly enough credit. Wuthering Heights is an amazing song and her other songs. I love seeing early on women in music successes like this but also sad how they were held back and how hard people can be on them. I'm just in a trance watching some of her music and its so rare now to see music like that so its precious.
The Dreaming has all the bits of genius in a raw form that Kate Bush was able to integrate in later projects that were recieved and successful commercially. You can see she recognizes her own powers in it, and I think it has been observed by reviewers as being important in her evolution as an artist.
Thank you so much for showing this video. I have been a life long fan and it is so wonderful to ‘meet’ the real Kate Bush. Her beauty, grace and gentle voice elevate me into a world of calm and peace.
Her most popular album but I wouldn't say it was her best. I'd struggle to pick one but The Dreaming and Aerial come before HOL for me. But they're all good.
Thanks for this, Menro! Easily one of the better Kate interviews from this time period. I love how relaxed she seems here, and she has the loveliest speaking voice. I could listen to Kate talk about music all day.
I have so many questions and would like her answers about "the ninth wave". "And dream of sheep" is such a haunting, deeply intense song for me and I would love her commentary on this work. The media never asked these questions and typically focused on the questions that made her uncomfortable. Its unfortunate that great artists like Kate are pressed for mundane answers to mainstream questions and not asked questions that they would feel more comfortable and rewarding (at least for the fans) surrounding their art and what their work means to everyone who loves it.
Crazy how back in the 80s not releasing an album for a couple of years was rare and ppl might forget about you, these days in the space of 5 years most bands release 2 mediocre albums (in comparison to 60s, 70s, 80s) and do 2 world tours.
She is fantastic! She’s so careful hear about what she reveals; however, I listen to his songs and I just respond from the words alone, I don’t even have to know what this song is supposed to mean what what film it pays reference too. However, this is interesting to hear what movies she likes or comedians.
the 80s hair style is so cool. also, love her accent. figured she'd sound more posh cause she's southern but she's slightly more normal sounding than i suspected
I noticed that Kate very often had been wearing only one earring. Even in her red dress "Wuthering Heights" video. Was this in fashion in the 80s or is it a Kate's "thing"? I was born in 1983 so I don't really remember.😉 BTW, She looks beautiful here - which is nothing new. 😄 Beautiful, intelligent, humble and sublime woman.♥️ Greetings from Poland and thank you for uploading the interview.
I just love the way she is so softly spoken, I've always said I love Kate speaking voice as much as her singing! She's the best. By the way, do you have interview she did with Adam Curry?
She seems guarded, and she answers the questions, though she's not always comfortable. On one music forum, people spoke about their experiences meeting famous musicians, and one person who met Kate described her as "Reasonably friendly, but paranoid....housebound" . I guess that's the way she is: a complex character. Given that, her later reclusiveness seemed inevitable. I hope that her latest (10 year) disappearance isn't permanent. She is missed.
I don’t think she’s particularly guarded. Being famous is a pain in the ass. Celebrity is a job in itself. She’s obviously comfortable financially and doesn’t have to go out of her way to be in public life. I mean just look at all these comments praising her-can you imagine how uncomfortable it would be to hear that all the time in real life? So no, it’s not paranoia.
@@herrgolf Agreed. It 'changes' people like that, but even using the word 'changes' isn't necessarily correct. Sure, some people do actually change (for better or worse), but no matter how polite and unassuming you are as a person, the dynamic between you and other humans inevitably changes irrevocably. It's a real double-edged sword. Praise is nice initially, but when it becomes adulation, it can feel creepy. You can also forget being out and about town unmolested while you buy toilet paper or try to have a pint with your mates at the local pub - something to remember if you ever get jealous of famous folk. To quote Morten Harket (A-Ha), "The bus is no longer yours, the train, the shops, the supermarket, the streets, that's really the main thing that changes." That's when you have to "put up barriers", to quote Neil Peart (Rush), especially if you're more introverted. Kate already clearly needed to do that, and that was before all of this Stranger Things stuff. I hope that the increasing inability to do the things anonymous people do isn't too detrimental to her mental health, weird as it might be to be concerned about someone who's about to be even more rolling in it.
Why do I get the sense that under that sweet, polite, endearing woman, there is an overpowering force of nature that could just completely engulf and obliterate one?
She must get so bored with these tedious questions... She's far more intelligent and creative than her interviewers. I have the sense that she's only there because she has to be. What a legend.
I totally agree, but you don't choose your intelligence. Kate was lucky to be born with a musical ear, and with such intelligence. You can't blame people for being stupid.
"I'm not promoting myself, but the work" is such an extremely healthy and refreshing outlook. Especially in this day of influencers and Entertainment Personalities. She has poured so much theatricality into her albums and her videos, but she realizes that there's a place for theater and a place for earnestness, and she approaches her interviews with such calm candor.

Weyes Blood isn't alt rock or indie. she's art pop! that's the same genre as Kate Bush, and artists such as Bjork. it's an amazing genre, and sadly one of the only genres in the music community where women get recognition.
“It’s not quite as basic as that…”, @11:58 pretty much sums up Kate Bush.
What a British icon, She did the right thing building her own studio in her childhood country home in Kent rather then spening loads of money on studio time in London
I met her twice as a kid among other people in that circle, But even more so her dad Robert Bush-My friend and his family their family GP was Robert which was in: Plumstead South East London-Lovley man
@Baby Hunn Yes I did meet Hannah yes, don't think I would forget that lol
Remember when she brought out a massive jug of orange squash for me and my friend-Frazer!
Who's nurse, She worked as a staff nurse at Epsom Grove Hospital-Surrey
Where you from?
@Baby Hunn Ah good old NY, been there many times since a small kid in 80's for a holiday among other parts of the US!
No Hannah had met Robert before he was a GP. And his practice was in London in Plumstead not Surrey!
I don't live that far from her childhood home in county of Kent in Welling-I'm also in Kent near Dartford!
Have you been to the UK before??
@Baby Hunn Oh yeah, where did you stay and what did you do while you here in the mid 90's 😁
No Bexleyheath is where she was born but the house where she grew up in was just down the road in Welling!
Because at that time she moved to London when EMI bought her a flat and wanted to be back in Kent in early 1982!
So she moved back home with her mum and dad in Welling and built a home studio there then in late 1985 bought house in Eltham!
But wasn't in the house it was a built extension from the side of the garden!
Hannah never worked with Robert in Plumstead!
Yea she was from Ireland Hannah-Yeah Kate was/is very talented. I'm falling alseep as very late here in UK so if don't reply will do when wake up. 🥱
@Baby Hunn Not a problem at all!
I do know of the Adirondack Moutains but never been there, and was also last shown on UK-TV 4 months ago!
When you said its almost time for you to wake up I was still sleeping for 3 hours. lol
Oh so just in London then-should of got a train into Kent-my part of Kent to London only takes 35 mins on the train. 😁
As I am writing this it is 9am in New York and 2pm here!
building a home studio with all that equipment was really expensive, but in the long run it isn't-Typical artists normally spend at least 6 months doing an album and if you recorded that at EMI that would of been something like 3 grand a day so total that up for 6 months!
Not just that but also the producer and engineer get their cut, which Kate didn't have to do.
+ Abby Road would be like 5 grand a day which would ten obviously come out of what ever you made with single/album in the charts!
Where as a home studio you have no constant pressure!
Del met her in summer of 1976, when she was 18, well to me as I was local and also because my friend and his familes GP was DR Robert Bush it was much earlier meeting them than at a record signing their album etc
When d you think yu will be next in the UK for a holiday-I mean been 25 very long years(take it you went before Sept)??
Have never seen this before! What a great interview ..... she's so sharp and outgoing, and you can see the intelligence in her eyes. I have sympathy with the interviewer ..... I wouldn't have done half such a good job, despite the fact I'm now a fan. There's so much material touched on, here. I love her abrupt answers. 'Yes.'! So unlike , say, a politician.
Kate is totally mesmerizing, love her eloquence and levelheaded answers, a true gem,love your work Kate
Well done to the interviewer who asked a lot of interesting, perceptive questions.
Good old telly yes, even though it's a programme aimed for a youngish audience the interviews were usually very adult not the loud nonsense we get today.
She knows who she is and was in the right time as her talent would have been overlooked by todays music industry
I've adored this woman's work for most of my entire life! I was only twelve when I first saw her video "Wuthering Heights" and was inspired by her extraordinary brilliance in writing, singing, and by her beauty, intelligence, and wit! She will forever be my teacher and my inspirational life force!
+burnningbridges Absolutely... me too... what a phenomeonal lady... such depth and sincere artistry .
I don’t know her for that long, but she’s quickly become my favourite and she also reignited my passion for songwriting (or writing in general). Her songwriting skills always leave me in awe ❤️
@@lucas_1448 You a fan of Kate Bush and FKA twigs? Damn, you have TASTE😍
Wow so much wisdom and insight in one interview. No wonder her songwriting is so and was so spot on..
There is great sensual , intellectual , emotional , and funky depth in Kate Bush songs beyond the surface storyline of the song. Cloudbusting, for instance, sure doesn't solely have to be just about making rain in the sky - not in my chosen interpetation anyway.
I could listen to her all day and all night.
It's interesting how different not just the accent but the inflection in people's voices was different 35 years ago, not to mention how much more awkwardly formal interviews seemed. What I love about Kate's vibe as well is she makes an effort not to come across as arrogant despite having every right to be, given how much she created from such a young age.
Television changed the way people speak.
@@felixmarvin1199 At least in part, yes.
@@NeglectedField here in the USA, several waves of migration both from outside and within have also contributed to the alteration and even elimination of some regional dialects. Many different regional accents have softened and become less distinct. Television went a long way to homogenizing the national identity of several languages, not just English. Of course, as I often tell my friends when pressed to explain events both current and historical, it's never just one thing. However, television and film can easily and rather accurately be credited for having done the most to change the way people speak.
@@NeglectedField the changes in speech have continued as the media has changed who are their featured speakers and chosen idols. Back then artists such as Kate tended to be more eloquent and intelligent. Now the media and music industry are cluttered with functional illiterates who struggle to form a complete sentence.
@@felixmarvin1199 In England, way before I was born there were distinct Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex and Kent dialects. Now they've broadly melded into one and within the South East in general, people's dialects are at least seemingly more split by age, class and ethnicity, now.
Looks like a young Liz Taylor
I see others have mentioned it and I always find it stands out in any interview, her intelligence. Yes, she is very beautiful, off the planet talented/creative, has a unique voice and is very modest but above all, it's her intelligence that stands out. No other singer, past or present, male or female comes close. Love to know what her IQ is. There are many genres in music, but she has one of her own, the Kate Bush genre. She's in a league of her own. I've been in love with this lady since '78.
She is very attractive and real
2:16 I felt the same about school but was stupid enough to carry on with A-Levels at college and Bachelors degree at University. They just try to give you the false hope that working in an office at a higher level will really benefit and fulfil you in your life - what a lie that was.
Kate bush is so inspiring. ❤
What a beautiful voice.
Here in the US I first discovered Kate right about the time of this interview when listening to a radio interview with the legendary Scott Muni in NYC. She was so lovely and gracious. Been a big fan since. Seeing her perform is on my bucket list.
1:25 is so sad why do people care so much about her weight and looks when she said herself its about the music not her! when she did a comeback and released Ariel the horrible comments were so uncalled for as they weren't critiquing the music, but Kate herself!
MAYBE she's slowly regretting making that comeback? I think being away from the spotlight for a long period of time did some good to her
Amazing looking woman, those eyes! Wow!
One in a billion.
Kate is so soft-spoken. She would be great in ASMR😉. I really like this interview (in opposite to that infamous Nightflight one 🤦). She seems to enjoy it. Kate is a musical genius, I love her greatly. Her "The Dreaming" album is my top1 of all time and the song "Breathing" from "Never for ever" is a masterpiece Greetings to every Kate's fan from Poland.😃♥️
Thanks for sharing this wonderful interview.
She is articulate, captivating, really talented, and quite beautiful. Credit to the interviewer who posed interesting questions and let us listen to the answers.
Kate Bush was an amazing music genius and still is. She was so young and doesn't get nearly enough credit. Wuthering Heights is an amazing song and her other songs. I love seeing early on women in music successes like this but also sad how they were held back and how hard people can be on them. I'm just in a trance watching some of her music and its so rare now to see music like that so its precious.
The Dreaming has all the bits of genius in a raw form that Kate Bush was able to integrate in later projects that were recieved and successful commercially. You can see she recognizes her own powers in it, and I think it has been observed by reviewers as being important in her evolution as an artist.
Thank you so much for showing this video. I have been a life long fan and it is so wonderful to ‘meet’ the real Kate Bush. Her beauty, grace and gentle voice elevate me into a world of calm and peace.
I could listen to her talk all day.
aspect ratio very unflattering
In 1985 she seemed a different person than before or after....very confidedent..perhaps because hounds of love was her best Album..
I thought The Dreaming was her pinnacle. I love HOL but nothing beats The Dreaming for me
Her most popular album but I wouldn't say it was her best. I'd struggle to pick one but The Dreaming and Aerial come before HOL for me. But they're all good.
i still have to listen all of her albums but i think her best is the sensual world.
@@Coasterdude02149 The same here !!!
Hounds of Love is one of the most artistically successfully realized albums of the 80s. It’s aged extremely well.
essa mulher me hipinotiza.......
This women is surreal
A real artist🌈
Thanks for this, Menro! Easily one of the better Kate interviews from this time period. I love how relaxed she seems here, and she has the loveliest speaking voice. I could listen to Kate talk about music all day.
One of my all time favourite lady of music
The bloke's sat there thinking "Fucking hell this is one hell of a good-looking woman and I'm finding it hard to concentrate"
yeah she was pretty guarded I thought although did give quite decent replies
Makes a change to see her talking to a decent, sympathetic interviewer.
She's so beautiful
Hello Kate!
Thanks for all you work over the years. Your originality and singing and choreography/
Kate = perfect 10 in every regard
She is special!
Great singer..
I have so many questions and would like her answers about "the ninth wave". "And dream of sheep" is such a haunting, deeply intense song for me and I would love her commentary on this work. The media never asked these questions and typically focused on the questions that made her uncomfortable. Its unfortunate that great artists like Kate are pressed for mundane answers to mainstream questions and not asked questions that they would feel more comfortable and rewarding (at least for the fans) surrounding their art and what their work means to everyone who loves it.
Key word for sucess is "hard work" and she took a risk. What a bright girl.
Crazy how back in the 80s not releasing an album for a couple of years was rare and ppl might forget about you, these days in the space of 5 years most bands release 2 mediocre albums (in comparison to 60s, 70s, 80s) and do 2 world tours.
Beautiful
beautiful woman.
12:20 omg the way she says superb melts me lol
You'll like how she sings 'Blow it a kiss now' here 🙂
ua-cam.com/video/sV7w5TaYjRA/v-deo.html&ab_channel=KateBushMusic
I love how soft spoken she is
She is fantastic! She’s so careful hear about what she reveals; however, I listen to his songs and I just respond from the words alone, I don’t even have to know what this song is supposed to mean what what film it pays reference too. However, this is interesting to hear what movies she likes or comedians.
The amount of fantastic talent in the eighties
Beautiful in all of the proper ways.
the 80s hair style is so cool. also, love her accent. figured she'd sound more posh cause she's southern but she's slightly more normal sounding than i suspected
That interviewer! "Do you just take drowning in your stride?" "Any plans to start a family?" Eeeekk.
She is such an inspiration and GODDESS!
Soothing girl
what a wonderful wonderful artist and person . Another level
I didn't know Kate like the film 'Don't Look Now'. I love that movie too.
I noticed that Kate very often had been wearing only one earring. Even in her red dress "Wuthering Heights" video. Was this in fashion in the 80s or is it a Kate's "thing"? I was born in 1983 so I don't really remember.😉 BTW, She looks beautiful here - which is nothing new. 😄 Beautiful, intelligent, humble and sublime woman.♥️ Greetings from Poland and thank you for uploading the interview.
I was born in 1983 also and as a kid, I remember seeing lots of girls wear one earring. I think it was an 80’s fashion thing.
I think i'm in love
She sure is lovely 😍 👌
I just love the way she is so softly spoken, I've always said I love Kate speaking voice as much as her singing! She's the best. By the way, do you have interview she did with Adam Curry?
She seems guarded, and she answers the questions, though she's not always comfortable. On one music forum, people spoke about their experiences meeting famous musicians, and one person who met Kate described her as "Reasonably friendly, but paranoid....housebound" . I guess that's the way she is: a complex character. Given that, her later reclusiveness seemed inevitable. I hope that her latest (10 year) disappearance isn't permanent. She is missed.
I don’t think she’s particularly guarded. Being famous is a pain in the ass. Celebrity is a job in itself. She’s obviously comfortable financially and doesn’t have to go out of her way to be in public life. I mean just look at all these comments praising her-can you imagine how uncomfortable it would be to hear that all the time in real life? So no, it’s not paranoia.
@@herrgolf Agreed. It 'changes' people like that, but even using the word 'changes' isn't necessarily correct. Sure, some people do actually change (for better or worse), but no matter how polite and unassuming you are as a person, the dynamic between you and other humans inevitably changes irrevocably. It's a real double-edged sword. Praise is nice initially, but when it becomes adulation, it can feel creepy. You can also forget being out and about town unmolested while you buy toilet paper or try to have a pint with your mates at the local pub - something to remember if you ever get jealous of famous folk. To quote Morten Harket (A-Ha), "The bus is no longer yours, the train, the shops, the supermarket, the streets, that's really the main thing that changes." That's when you have to "put up barriers", to quote Neil Peart (Rush), especially if you're more introverted. Kate already clearly needed to do that, and that was before all of this Stranger Things stuff. I hope that the increasing inability to do the things anonymous people do isn't too detrimental to her mental health, weird as it might be to be concerned about someone who's about to be even more rolling in it.
She. Looks. Amazing
Love her work 🌹
You're welcome! Doesn't she look gorgeous ?
This is pure unintentional ASMR.. her voice is so wonderful
Why do I get the sense that under that sweet, polite, endearing woman, there is an overpowering force of nature that could just completely engulf and obliterate one?
@Jeff Peate Yes, soul for sure....but something else.. a kind of potency that one usually only feels directly from the power of the earth.
You must have heard her music
This is such a great interview with Kate. Thank you soooooo much for this clip! Which is one that I don't has been posted on YT yet.
Un génie cette femme 🚺
Absolument. Je suis contente de voir un français.
Nice interview! And hey, The Dreaming is probably my favorite album! :) Thanks for uploading.
She is extraordinary
Credit to her brother too who composed a lot of the music
Girl was a natural beauty, not a tart up.
She must get so bored with these tedious questions... She's far more intelligent and creative than her interviewers. I have the sense that she's only there because she has to be. What a legend.
What’s wrong with the questions. Do you think you could do a better job.
I totally agree, but you don't choose your intelligence. Kate was lucky to be born with a musical ear, and with such intelligence. You can't blame people for being stupid.
She knows all the answers. No bullshit allowed 💁🏻♀️
Love, love, love
I really wanted to know more of her opinion about school.
Kate Bush is everything...
