    This song is so haunting. Wuthering Heights is an absolute brilliant piece of literature and this song perfectly encapsulates Catherine and Heath cliff's relationship. Simply perfection personified.

    I saw that she was 19 when it was released and she did the music videos, which was the same age Cathy was when she died. I think that's one of the reasons she was able to make this music so true to the spirit of Wuthering Heights, like she could tune into the depth and ways Cathy felt.

    Ever since my ears heard Kate Bush for the first time I've always loved her. This song is what cemented my love for her. No other musician has been able to take a classical literature novel and encapsulate it in modern music. Does it exempt you from reading this classic? No. But if you have, this song will tug at your heart for decades.

    Wuthering Heights (1939)
    Heathcliff: Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest so long as I live on! I killed you. Haunt me, then! Haunt your murderer! I know that ghosts have wandered on the Earth. Be with me always. Take any form, drive me mad, only do not leave me in this dark alone where I cannot find you. I cannot live without my life! I cannot die without my soul.
    Heathcliff: If he loved you with all the power of his soul for a whole lifetime, he couldn't love you as much as I do in a single day.
    Cathy: Are you enjoying yourself, Heathcliff?
    Heathcliff: I've had the pleasure of watching you.
    Cathy: You're very grand, Heathcliff. So handsome. Looking at you tonight I could not help but remember how things used to be.
    Heathcliff: They used to be better.
    Cathy: Don't pretend life hasn't improved for you.
    Heathcliff: Life has ended for me.
    [they pause and look off the balcony in silence]
    Heathcliff: How can you stand here beside me and pretend not to remember? Not to know that my heart is breaking for you? That your face is the wonderful light burning in all this darkness?
    Cathy: Heathcliff, no. I forbid it.
    Heathcliff: Do you forbid what your heart is saying to you now?
    Cathy: It's saying nothing.
    Heathcliff: I can hear it louder than the music. Oh, Cathy. Cathy.
    Cathy: I'm not the Cathy that was. Can you understand that? I'm somebody else. I'm another man's wife, and he loves me. And I love him.
    Heathcliff: If he loved you with all the power of his soul for a whole lifetime he couldn't love you as much as I do in a single day. Not he. Not the world. Not even you, Cathy, can come between us.
    Cathy: Heathcliff, you must go away. You must leave this house and never come back to it. I never want to see your face again or listen to your voice again as long as I live.
    Heathcliff: You lie! Why do you think I'm here tonight? Because you willed it. You willed me here across the sea.
    Cathy: Heathcliff, make the world stop right here. Make everything stop and stand still and never move again. Make the moors never change and you and I never change.
    Heathcliff: The moors and I will never change. Don't you, Cathy.
    Cathy: I can't. I can't. No matter what I ever do or say, Heathcliff, this is me now; standing on this hill with you. This is me forever.
    Cathy: Did Joseph see which way you came?
    Heathcliff: What does it matter? Nothing's real down there. Our life is here.
    Cathy: Yes, milord.
    Cathy: It would be dreadful if Hindley ever found out.
    Heathcliff: Found out what? That you talk to me once in a while?
    Cathy: I shouldn't talk to you at all. Look at you! You get worse every day. Dirty and unkempt and in rags. Why aren't you a man? Heathcliff, why don't you run away?
    Heathcliff: Run away? From you?
    Cathy: You could come back to me rich and take me away. Why aren't you my prince like we said long ago? Why can't you rescue me, Heathcliff?
    Heathcliff: Cathy, come with me now!
    Cathy: Where?
    Heathcliff: Anywhere!
    Cathy: And live in haystacks and steal our food from the marketplaces? No, Heathcliff. That's not what I want.
    Heathcliff: You just want to send me off. That won't do. I've stayed here and been beaten like a dog. Abused and cursed and driven man, but I stayed just to be near you. Even as a dog! And I'll stay till the end. I'll live and I'll die under this rock!
    Cathy: Go on, Heathcliff. Run away. Bring me back the world.
    Judge Linton: Pack this fellow off.
    Heathcliff: I'm going. I'm going from here and from this cursed country both.
    Judge Linton: Throw him out!
    Heathcliff: But I'll be back in this house one day, Judge Linton and I'll pay you out. I'll bring this house down in ruins about your heads. That's my curse on you!
    [spits on the floor]
    Heathcliff: On all of you!
    Heathcliff: I want to crawl to her feet, whimper to be forgiven... for loving me. For needing her more than my own life... for belonging to her more than my own soul.
    Cathy: You could come back to me rich and take me away. Why aren't you my prince like we said long ago? Why can't you rescue me Heathcliff?
    Heathcliff: Cathy, come with me now.
    Cathy: Where?
    Heathcliff: Anywhere.
    Cathy: And live in haystacks and steal our food from the marketplaces? No Heathcliff, that's not what I want.
    Heathcliff: You just want to send me off. That won't do. I've stayed here and been beaten like a dog, abused and cursed and driven mad, but I stayed just to be near you, even as a dog. And I'll stay 'til the end. I'll live and I'll die under this rock.
    Heathcliff: Tell the dirty stable boy to let go of you. He soiled your pretty dress. But who soiled your heart? Not Heathcliff. Who turns you into a vain, cheap, worldly fool? Linton does. You'll never love him, but you'll let yourself be loved because it pleases your stupid, greedy vanity.
    Heathcliff: Why are your eyes always empty? Like Linton's eyes.
    Isabella: They're not empty, if you'd only look deeper. Look at me. I'm pretty. I'm a woman and I love you. You're all of life to me. Let me be a single breath of it for you.
    Heathcliff: My tears don't love you, Cathy. They blight and curse and damn you!
    Cathy: Heathcliff, don't break my heart.
    Heathcliff: Oh Cathy, I never broke your heart. You broke it!
    Edgar Linton: Well, what brought about this amazing transformation? Did you discover a gold mine in the New World, or perhaps you fell heir to a fortune?
    Heathcliff: The truth is I remembered that my father was an emperor of China and my mother was an Indian queen, and I went out and claimed my inheritance. It all turned out just as you once suspected, Cathy: that I had been kidnapped by wicked sailors and brought to England; that I was of noble birth.
    Heathcliff: If you ever looked at me once with what I know is in you, I'd be your slave. Cathy, if your heart were only stronger than your dull fear of God and the world, I'd live contented, silently in your shadow. But No. You must destroy us both with that weakness you call virtue.
    Heathcliff: I cannot live without my life! I cannot die without my soul!
    Cathy, as a child: Oh, it's a wonderful castle! Heathcliff, let's never leave it.
    Heathcliff, as a child: Never in our lives! Let all the world confess, that there is not in all the world a more beautiful damsel than the Princess Catherine of Yorkshire.
    Cathy, as a child: But I - I'm still your slave.
    Heathcliff, as a child: No, Cathy. I now make you my queen. Whatever happens out there, here you will always be my queen.

When I heard this song I loved it because it alluded to Heathcliff and Cathy but never read the words til now. I had no idea it was really about the story of them and Wuthering Heights. I love it even more now!

    My love for Heathcliff resembles the eternal rocks beneath: a source of little visible delight, but necessary. Nelly, I am Heathcliff - he's always, always in my mind - not as a pleasure, any more than I am always a pleasure to myself - but as my own being; so, don't talk of our separation again - it is impracticable.

    I always wonder how this magnificent, disturbing novel could have been written by the spinster daughter of a cleric in a bleak little village in Yorkshire. I think that the novel was an absolute masterpiece. Jane Eyre is stunningly good... and then there is Wuthering Heights which defies and surpasses every thing that has gone before it. I've been devoted and somewhat obsessed by the book since I was 15.... FIVE DECADES ago! Every time I go back to it I discover some new depth, some new perspective.

    “If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger.” ― Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights
    I am reminded of these few lyric lines from a old Joni Mitchell song,
    "I remember that time you told me you said
    "Love is touching souls"
    Surely you touched mine
    'Cause part of you pours out of me
    In these lines from time to time
    Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
    You taste so bitter and so sweet
    Oh I could drink a case of you darling
    And I would still be on my feet
    I would still be on my feet
    I met a woman
    She had a mouth like yours
    She knew your life
    She knew your devils and your deeds
    And she said
    "Go to him, stay with him if you can
    But be prepared to bleed"
    This Caveman never thought the shoe could ever be on the other foot....
    There is only one thing worse than missing her every night, and it happens every morning.....

      Miss MacKinnon, Thank You for your insightful
      suggestion. KD Lang’s voice has a stability and depth that most vocalists would hold in justifiable envy. Kd Lang’s styling’s pour perfectly thick and lush over her selections. Her dubbed duet with Roy Orbison; on his, “In Dreams,” is nothing short of hypnotic! I am challenged to think of any of Ms.Lang’s studio work which was less than polished perfection. I truly do enjoy Ms.Lang’s cover of Joni Mitchell’s, “A Case of You.” However it is James Blake’s pained and perfectly imperfect cover of the same tune, “A Case of You,” on the BCC (On You Tube) which had renewed my attentions to Ms. Mitchell’s work.
      “We all have an old knot in the heart we wish to untie.” ― Michael Ondaatje, The Cat's Table
      James Blake’s numb and wounded waltz through his cover has its own personal sting for me. Dear Good Lady, I am sure by what little you have shared with me, I would venture to guess, you would fully understand the gist of my thoughts, much more than you would have cared to, however that is the price of having a heart.
      "Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It’s a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.” ~ Pema Chödrön

    • @arim2283
      @arim2283 7 років тому +4

      First of all, novels don't belong to any genre. The origin of genre lies in the reviewers, critics, and above all bookstores who need novels to be in genres, so they can divide the market accordingly. (Read up on genre theory to confirm what I'm saying).
      In the last 40-50 years, authors have self-reflexively begun writing for a specific genre, for a specific readership. But authorial intention does not dictate the content of a work of art, or the category in which it should be placed. (Read up Michel Foucault's famous essays "What is an author?" and "The Order of Discourse")... take the example of "Jaws", intended as an unadulterated horror, but becoming a political commentary on capitalist/consumerist greed in a small town community. Another example: is Ridley Scott's "Alien" Science Fiction or horror? Is "Dracula" an epistolary novel, a New Woman novel, a horror novel... what?
      Therefore, I would agree with @Jo Blow above me that Wuthering Heights, despite the ample presence of Gothic tropes and conventions, is also one of the greatest love stories ever written. Apart from, that is, being a cosmic horror, elemental drama, andsoonandsoforth (as Slavoj Zizek loves to say).
      @Sheryl Huang, I presume you are still a very young(university) student. That means you still have a lot of time to learn. Why not start?
      And if you aren't young any more, shame on you for telling people what to think without knowing your basics.
