The breaking glass at the end of the song represents a fight and the ending of the marriage. The irony is that he fell for Babooshka because she reminded him of the woman he fell in love with. She takes a common rekindling romance tale to a dark place, a tradegy for both parties. Yet that sad story is set to upbeat and catchy music. She uses contridictions like this often and never shys away from dark and controversial topics. She is such a brave and compelling artist. If you can't tell, I'm a huge fan.
The contrast between the tragic story and the lively melody creates an emotional depth that keeps listeners engaged. It’s clear you have a deep appreciation for her artistry her fearless exploration of difficult topics truly sets her apart as a bold and brilliant artist.
The songs about an older wife who is jealous. She tries to trick her husband by sending a letter to him and signs it Babooshka. She gets more jealous and sents him another to meet him. She dresses up and he falls for Babooshka (her) because she reminds him of his wife when she was young and passionate. It ends with the wife breaking things because he chose Babooshka over her. Even though she was Babooshka. Kates a very creative writer.
What a fantastic breakdown of "Babooshka"! Kate Bush really captured the complexity of jealousy, desire, and self-deception in this song. The storytelling parts shows she is so clever.
This song reached number 5 in the UK singles chart, and by doing so, created history by being the 1st hit single that included a sample, the smashing breaking sounds. This song was taken from Kate's 3rd studio album, "Never For Ever," on which she co-produced. The other two single releases, "Army Dreamers" and Breathing, are very good as well.
Thanks for sharing! Amazing to learn this song made history with its creative use of sampling. Kate’s brilliance shines on Never For Ever, and those other singles are gems too!
Regarding the inspiration for this song, Kate has said that the English folk song "Sovay" is the inspiration. In "Sovay," a woman dresses up as a highwayman and accosts her lover in order to test his devotion. Kate would have been very familiar with traditional folk songs since her brothers were very active on the local folk music scene. Indeed, the title track from her debut album "The Kick Inside" is inspired by another folk song, "The Ballard of Lucy Wan" (the spelling of the name does vary in different versions, although the subject is primarily the same). The folk song deals with a taboo subject, which is also reflected in Kate's song, although the woman in her version is empowered to make her own decisions, unlike Lucy (Lizzie) Wan in the folk song. A dutch pop music programme had a special on Kate back in 1978 and "The Kick Inside" was freatured in a beautiful but sad segment, which perfectly reflects what the song is. For Kate to cover a taboo subject matter that other artists would never approach at all and furthermore to have it as the title track, shows that she was a fearless artist from the very beginning.
Thank you for sharing these fascinating details about Kate Bush’s inspirations! It’s incredible how she drew from folk songs like Sovay and The Ballad of Lucy Wan to create such bold, empowering works. Naming The Kick Inside after such a taboo subject truly shows her fearless artistry-even from the very start. What a remarkable talent!
Great reaction. We love Kate Bush and we did a cover of Wuthering Heights sung from Heathcliff's perspective. and we'd like to invite you to listen to it ua-cam.com/video/3CJsvboXEo8/v-deo.html Cheers.

"Babooshka" was also offering what his wife had long been refusing him...

Kat Bush is tiny & that double bass is HUGE!
yeah😁😁
That instrument is called a cello (pronounced chello)
Got it... Thanks for sharing
No it's not, it's a double bass. A cello would be smaller.
@ ahh thank you for correcting me 🙏 🎶
It's actually a double bass - the big brother of the cello.
