    I've heard that critics say she is pretentious.I don't beleive that at all.What we see of Kate is in interviews is very natural,no pretending at all.

      Quite right. I agree. Kate Bush said she was a loner at school. I think her sombre character, which I like, may have something to do with it. Strangely, like Elvis, she is quiet and serious when talking but dynamic on stage. Might be the other way round with many.

    I honestly love & respect deeply this artist. She's damn good at writing her songs, & her videos are like short movies, wether they derailed you from what she's saying in the song or gives you a more deeper vision of what is she's discussing.
    She's a goddess when it comes to write songs & quite a devil when she does her thing on the piano.
    you go girl!!!

    Give Frank Bough a break (there's a sentence I never thought I'd write), he at least voiced a personal opinion that Kate "always" gives us "quality" music. He's gone up in my estimation. But Hugh Scully did what the male TV presenters always did when interviewing Kate in the early days - patronised her: "the romantic songs you've sung in the past" - what, like 'Kite' (period pains), 'The Kick Inside' (incest/suicide), 'Hammer Horror' (professional jealousy)? Couldn't rattle our Kate though!

    well i think its just stupid to accuse her of using this topic to commercialize... because well,, the melody of this song is amazing. If the song was about a broken heart, like love-related, would have been a success anyway because her vocals and melody are simply amazing. The fact that she decided to write about this is just part of her personality and i dont think there is any other reason behind. The interviewer was quite disrespectful.

    Everybody seems to skip over the technical sophistication of her stuff , which is staggering, to bandy about lyrical meanings. Kate was always hands-on with production, arrangement and instrumentation in her works, right from the beginning. Her pioneering work with the Fairlight computer is a good example, likewise her involvement in the development of body miking to facilitate her live show at the Hammersmith so as to enable her dance performance. She appeared almost fully fledged at the age of 17-18 with most of ‘The Kick Inside’ pretty well ready to go. Thank Zeus for Gilmour seeing her brilliance and getting her seen. Even then it was a battle against Studio executives that declared her too morbid and unmarketable. Dave’s financing of a 4 song demo was responsible for her eventual acceptance.

    I don't think he realizes how much of an "artist" Kate is as--he certainly doesn't have the advantage of hindsight, on her career trajectory and output, that we all have now in order to "see" just how truly non-commercial and "true" to her vision she was. Nothing wrong with challenging Kate Bush with certain questions--she's smart, she can handle it.

  • @McLarenMercedes
    @McLarenMercedes 10 років тому +9

    All respect to Kate Bush, she's a remarkable talent. However let's not fool ourselves, she was *far* from the first having a song about the fear of nuclear war.
    Tom Lehrer's "We'll All Go Together When We Go" from 1959 is probably the first known one dealing with the effects. Bob Dylan and The Byrds already performed songs about the subject in the 60's, bear in mind that the Cuban Missile in 1962 crisis was the closest to WW3 they got. "Wooden Ships" by Crosby, Stills and Nash from 1969 is clearly one too.
    By the late 70's the subject appeared in many punk rock and new wave songs and in 1980 there were *plenty* of artists that released songs about this. Just a few examples below:
    The Clash - Ivan Meets G.I. Joe
    XTC - "Living Through Another Cuba"
    Hawkwind - "Who's Gonna Win The War?"
    Fad Gadget - "Fireside Favourite" (with lyrics that describe what happens to two lovers who get a lethal dose of radioactive fallout this one makes "Breathing" appear cute in comparison)
    Kate Bush was probably one of the first female artists releasing a song with this theme, and since she was a huge name at the time this single was noticed even by people who had no interest in popular music. Hence the presentation in this show.
    Good song (from a fine album). But unique or bold at the time? No.

      Yeah but ... Fireside Favourite (for example) is at best, a flippant attempt at a novelty nuclear comedy number and at it's worst, just rather infantile. Even XTC, (fantastic as they were) were pretty tongue in cheek with it all. And no, Kate Bush certainly wasn't the first to address the subject but her unique approach to the topic certainly gets under my skin.

    Impressed. The level of paranoia between the US and the USSR was at its highest during this period that in 1983 a situation of nuclear Armageddon nearly happened, when the USSR took training programmes undertaken by the US and other intelligence horseplay as a serious threat. They were on the cusp of launching those missiles.

    It was a bit of a pointless interview, most of it made up of the video. She was only on for a couple of minutes. She wasn't given a chance to say that it was actually nuclear war from an unborn baby's perspective, for example. She had to fend off Hugh Scully, who, as time has shown, was a threat more real than a nuclear bomb1 (You may guess that I believe the British institution that was NW was slightly hyping up the issue!
