Kate Bush songs were never just songs . . they were a piece of art and/or poetry that had to be experienced in order to fully appreciate. Thank you Kate
Kate bush , was a very gifted artist , who wrote some beautiful songs , and also produced as well , some people don’t understand her music ( that’s there loss) I have always liked Kate’s music from the first single to the first Album to her last , waiting for the next one Kate ❤
Why would you scoop likes to be reminded of this song? If you don't remember this song from your own merit... Then you really don't think of it fondly enough.
Sad to hear about the passing of Donald Sutherland today. Despite all of his acting achievements, this is what I'll always remember him for. Rest in peace, sir.
It's funny how - with all those movies and show performances - this is the first thing I wanted to see him in after hearing the sad news... He won't be forgotten...
Chilling. The song is about Willhelm Reich, eccentric inventor of the "orgone accumulator" and the "cloudbuster" who was persecuted by the FBI in 1941 and died in custody. It's written from the point of view of his son Peter. Welcome ST fans, Kate is magic.
No wonder alot of people thought her music was "weird" she was just to deep, to intellectual and yet she was also an incredible dancer and brought great depths of emotion to her work as well, definitely ahead of her time while being totally emblematic of it in the same instance.
I was privileged to have been the production designer on this video: My late father created the 'Cloudbuster' and I designed and had the laboratory built in a Wimbledon studio. Was great having Donald Sutherland on my set! Went on to do another film about Willhelm Riech a few years later called 'It Can Be Done' where I had to build yet another Cloudbuster, this one slightly more accurate though.
natureasintended Why does there have to be any motivation other than the fact he had a theory and a bit of an obsession with Orgone and he wanted to put his theory to the test?
"“Barry Richardson, who was the hairdresser on Nic Roeg’s Don’t Look Now, asked me if I’d do a music video with Kate Bush. I told him no and we went on to other conversations. A couple of days later there was a knock on my door. I lived in the Savoy Hotel (in London). On the river. Suite 312. I loved it there. So cosseted. So private. Only the floor butler rang the door. I opened it. There was no one there. I heard a voice saying hello and I looked down. Standing down there was a very small Kate Bush." "And I remember the first morning on set seeing her coming out of her trailer smoking a joint and I cautioned her, saying she shouldn’t smoke that, it’d affect her work, and she looked at me for a second and said she hadn’t been straight for nine years and I loved her."
I was in Capella in Spain on holiday when I saw Donald drinking alone in a pool bar. I was absolutely star struck and when I eventually plucked enough courage to approach him he drunk up and walked out before I could get to him Lol 😊😊😊
This is what happens when one creates music, not just for attention and spotlights, but in the name of art itself. It becomes timeless and always present.
I'm a bit ashamed many of my friends were kate bush fans for many years yet i waited for one of her song to become trendy again so i can finally get into her 😭❤️ but it feels like a blessing too.
When you arrive at a significant cultural moment like the passing of a great actor, you find at the intersection - Kate Bush. This is no accident, her genius of tapping into the great artists of her generation leaves us with a powerful legacy that we will no doubt revisit. So many of us are here because of Donald Sutherland. I hope he was tremendously proud of this collaboration. He will surely rest in peace.
That was a very lovely sentiment and very apropos. It's such a cruel joke that we have such a very short time in this world and yet it seems to be in our nature to waste so much of that precious time and all too often others precious time as well.
John here-I'm almost 70 and this song still makes me cry-I don't know why I feel such emotion when Kate sings this, but memories of my late father well up in me and I'm a kid all over again.
If you're new to Kate Bush and discovered her recently through TV shows, you should know this song and video is based on a true story. It's about the eccentric scientist Wilhelm Reich. He had a far too complicated life to go into here and he wasn't well man but he was harmless. He may have been bipolar or schizophrenic but he devoted his intellect to helping humanity as best he could. His orgone machine, depicted here, was his undoing. He ran afoul of the FDA, got into legal troubles, was arrested and ordered by a court to destroy this machines and burn his own books. No, really. I wish I was making that up. He died in prison of a heart attack a year later. Kate Bush got the idea for this song from the book written by his son, Peter, whom she plays in the video.
I don't think Wilhem Reich would really appreciate you calling him "harmless". I understand why you used the word. He didn't want to cause harm, so that's good. His "Mass Psychology of Fascism" is still relevant. Not sure about the orgone.
Wrote her first hit at 13. Produced all her music and performed most instruments. Crafted unique stories and characters for all of her songs. Didn't care about fame and fortune, just wanted to express her vision. This woman is my fucking hero and she will go down in history as a true creative genius.
"I just know that something good is going to happen. I don't know when but just saying it could even make it happen." --Kate Bush I love this lyric especially in these dark times. Who agrees with me?
@@XX-yz6hu On this occasion, yes. I shared it on my fb timeline. Love the Hounds of Love album.. one of my all time favs. Do you follow Mark Devlin? He's a straight talker. I am a big fan.
@@digiroj I have been following Mark Devlin for a couple of months now. He's brilliant, very articulate and knowledgeable. I'm slowly catching up with his Good Vibrations podcasts and I am following all of his current stuff!.
@@bahamut256, probably you did't know that cancer is due the excess of Candida Albicans fungus. That's happen when the body turns to acid state pruducing lack of O2. Sometimes happens when the patient is in depressed mood. I think orgasm energy can't depress anybody. Do you?
This is not just a song. It´s art. It works on so many levels. As an epitaph for Wilhelm Reich. On the relationship between son/daughter and father. About free thinking vs. the system. The loneliness of the artist. And that´s only what I see in this song. Kate Bush - truly one of the greatest singers/songwriters of her generation. Maybe *the* greatest.
Ive only just discovered this song because of Reich. I only learned about Reich after renting a house right next to his old house in Rangely, Maine. Did a little research on him, very interesting. Orgone energy. Anyway i thought I'd share the rabbit hole I've gone down.
@@pickettmandi I felt like the cleverest, cleverest child when I realized that this was partly about Reich, shortly after I'd learned about Reich. Might've been '87?
my auntie loved this song she would have had her 59th birthday on the 25th February but she died at the of 28 from a brain tumour every time i hear this song i think of her
When I became a Kate Bush fan while I was in high school in the 1980s, I never dreamed that more than 30 years later so many people would finally realize how wonderful she is. It's so great.
This has always been one of my favourite driving songs, but it needs to be in the right location: on an open road, preferably winding, somewhere like New Zealand, or coastal California, or British Columbia.
@@floranagy6225 if only America had discovered/recognised her talent earlier during her career maybe she’d have made even more of her amazing work. Glad she’s finally made the Billboard top 10
I saw Donald Sutherland once standing in line for a movie, and although I never bother famous people, I couldn't help but ask him a question. This video was so important to me growing up, and I knew a little bit about W. Reich. There is a moment when Kate Bush reaches into his pocket and pulls out a book. I asked him what the book was. He said it was Peter Reich's book titled "A book of Dreams," and that Kate had given it to him as research for the part. He kept it everywhere he went during the shoot. I thanked him and walked away.
Rudi. The last few words of your comment are, in themselves, beautifully put. As if they too came out of the clouds to tell a story. Kind regards, Bill.
according to wikipedia, he wasn't cleared visa wise to work in the UK so he did this part for free. he must have really loved kate and the concept. a true and passionate artist who worked for the art's sake. RIP.
According to Sutherland, he was approached about doing it and turned the offer down, but a few days later, Kate herself appeared at his hotel room door to try and change his mind, which obviously succeeded.
This song probably saved my life. This year started bad and it was only blood, sweat and tears. If there was a chance for pleasure I was caught in my dark bubble. I have so many nice people around me but I could not decide who I should bother with my issues. Then I heard this song on the radio and something changed. I listened to it for hours, I cried for hours and it gave me the power to be honest to everyone who asks me, how I am. I knew, the people around me would support me and they do. Since I start every morning with the words "I just know that something good is gonna happen", things are really getting better. Thank you, Kate Bush!
She was 27 when she wrote this song. The brilliance, the focus , the Art created by this musical piece. I am glad I lived the 80's era. What we have today is....
@@little_Star88Care to name me one, Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa, Billie Elish etc...really...Kate Bush was younger than them and still produced songs we're listening to today..can't and I guarantee you we won't be saying that about some of the people I mentioned above in 30 years..
Here because I found out that Donald Sutherland has sadly passed at the age of 88. I've always admired the work ethic of the Sutherland family & have long enjoyed Donald & Kiefer as actors. Donald clearly had talent beyond measure on the small & big screen & was very good at entertaining audiences whatever role he played. Rest in peace sir & thank you so very much for all the joy your talent has brought. Thoughts & condolences are with Donald Sutherland's family, friends, colleagues & everyone else who knew & loved him.
@@michaelsrowland Also I read that it was Mrs Bush's dream to have one of her favorite actor in her video, so it goes both way ! (So many of her lyrics are inspired by fiction, not to mention "it's in the trees ! It's coming !" straight out of "Night of the demon"…)
You can partly thank Kim Ryrie, Peter Vogel and Tony Furse, the developers of the Fairlight synthesizer for it. The "Kate Bush sound" in this recording has been largely created by the rather interesting but also quite limited voice quality of that early fully digital instrument as far as I know. The severe technical limitations also seem to have led to artistic choices on other recordings like "Running Up That Hill".
It was tough for an 18 year old straight male jock to like Kate Bush, but this album was just too good for me to bow to peer pressure. I still remember asking for this album for my birthday. I had no idea that the cover was going to be so feminine and so pink, so when my dad bought it home I felt very weird. After I listened to it a few times I no longer gave a shit what he thought. God bless him for not making fun of me. To this day, one of my favourite albums of all time.
Estavazz Estavazz Yes, it's a very personal comment which I suppose is weird on the internet. It really was a strange experience though and I thought I would share. Whoever marketed the album in Canada should have been fired because the cover was so feminine that it made it very difficult for some men to buy. That seems like a pretty poor marketing practice.
Kent Mains Your comment is incredibly charitable and gracious. I doubt I had much more courage than you. I certainly didn't broadcast my love of Kate Bush to the vast majority of my friends. I was also fortunate enough to have a male friend who liked her when I first started listening to her in 1982. That helped immeasurably.
I remember seeing the Wuthering Heights video on MTV way back when and my friends were like "what the hell is that?" I was saying to myself "this is pure magic being sung by a goddess!" I've only very recently admitted to all who care, or don't, my love of her music.
At one of my lowest points in my life, after a horrible mental breakdown I remember listening to this song while the tears rolled down my cheeks. Since then this song is the one I always seek out when my soul is crushed and I’m full of despair. Somehow Kate always manages to lift my spirit and convince me that I won’t always feel this way and the good times will return.
I grew up with the same three songs and always sort of took it for granted she was good. Now I am actually exploring her soundscape due to her use of strings. She's damn good.
“Sometime in 1985, a package arrived with a video cassette and an autographed album,” says Peter Reich. “My wife and children, who were five and two at the time, listened, watched and were entranced. Quite magically, this British musician had tapped precisely into a unique and magical fulfilment of father-son devotion, emotion and understanding. They had captured it all.” Everyone knows that “Wuthering Heights”, Kate Bush’s debut single of 1978, was inspired by Emily Brontë’s gothic tale of unfulfilled passion and madness on the moors. But how many people know how one boy’s relationship with his father, a disciple of Freud who fled Nazi-occupied Austria to pursue his studies on the orgasm in America, came to inspire another, similarly cherished piece of pop-culture history? If you’ve seen the video for “Cloudbusting”, released 30 years ago this month, you’ll know that it’s a cinematic, oddly moving tale of a young boy, played by Kate Bush in a ragamuffin wig, and his idyllic adventures with his dad, played by Donald Sutherland, who is working on a giant ray-gun contraption that can shoot at clouds to make it rain. At some point in the video, a group of men in suits arrive to snatch the boy’s father away, but not before the boy can reach into his dad’s jacket pocket and pull out a slim volume called “A Book of Dreams”. Peter Reich: “Watching it for the first time, and ever since, not infrequently, the video’s emotional power is overwhelming and enduring, even after 30 years - or 60 years, for me. I did meet Kate once or twice. She gave me a very British umbrella, how very appropriate, one rainmaker to another.”
After hearing about the sad passing of Mr. Sutherland I just remembered that I haven't heard this masterpiece in months. Thank you for one of the best music videos of all time.
This song has always affected me each time I hear it. I think it stirs up dormant emotions in many. I have loved Kate's voice since the first time I heard it.
"Everytime it rains you're here in my head, like the sun coming out - oh I just know something good is going to happen, I don't know when, but just saying it could even make it happen!" - Pure brilliance.
RIP Donald. One of the best actors to ever grace our screens. Missed forever.❤xxx A beautiful video / song by Kate. Would be nithing without the above.❤
From Wiki: Taking inspiration from the 1973 memoir A Book of Dreams, which Bush read and found deeply moving, the song is about the very close relationship between psychiatrist and philosopher Wilhelm Reich and his young son, Peter, told from the point of view of the mature Peter. It describes the boy's memories of his life with Reich on their family farm, called Orgonon, where the two spent time "cloudbusting", a rain-making process which involved using a machine designed and built by Reich - a machine called a cloudbuster - to point at the sky. The lyrics further describes the elder Reich's abrupt arrest and imprisonment, the pain of loss the young Peter felt, and his helplessness at being unable to protect his father.
I am 16 yrs old and just finished a critical listen to KB "Hounds of Love" album. UNBELIEVABLE MUSIC STORIES ART LYRICS MOOD MUSICIANSHIP PRODUCTION SINGING....ETC....FLAWLESS. I AM SURE NO BAND OR SINGER IN MY GENERATION CAN EVEN COME CLOSE TO DUPLICATING. MS BUSH
You are very wise for sixteen years old! We are all so glad that your generation is discovering her. She is remarkable talented. Keep listening and you will grow to love all her music. I have been recently rewatching her videos (I'm sixty-two!), but I first learned about her in my mid-twenties. As I watch her videos from those early days, I can see where she may have influenced Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga, if (and this is a big IF) they ever watched her videos and listened to her music. I think that her talent and skill actually run deeper.
No best album. Listen to them all. Like the best authors/musicians trust her creations. Listen and if one song or album doesn’t speak to you it very well could at a different time.
Hi Charlie Dunn III!, I'm pretty sure that the British Invasion of music of the 80s into the 90s is some of the richest lyrical music ever made. I hope you continue to explore more artists from the "invasion" it sounds like you're absolutely going to love it!
My Dad loved this song and Kate Bush, He would always tell me he met Kate bush in a pub and asked her if he could buy her a drink, she said no. Had this song played at his funeral.
@@detlevtimm3019 Well that explains the great fairy tear shortage back in the day. Kate had them drank dry to make creative music - a sacrifice of sorts, I guess.
My wife's father was an Australian scientist/rainmaker pioneer in the '50s and I find that watching this video always makes me cry with joy - it is just so deep and beautiful.
I am but I'm also a little gutted too as growing up as undiagnosed 'ADHD and autistic' I always believed Kate was special to 'me' and resonated to me and was almost exclusive. No-one in my day (unless you were weird....cared or wanted to know KB and laughed at me). I am pleased that she has this new following. She deserves it xx
This was my dad's favorite of her music videos and fit his personality as a scientist so perfectly. What irony that she is rediscovered by a new generation just months after his passing last fall but so good to be reminded of him everywhere these days
hopefully your dad never realized that this song + video is about another dad who dedicated his life to the scientific pursuit of building big orgasm boxes for naked people to sit in.
Oh my heart. 💔 I just heard the sad news about Donald Sutherland’s passing. I “ran” to Kate Bush’s UA-cam channel to view this masterpiece, for which I will always fondly remember him. Regardless of his many other achievements, I will always remember him as the scientist (Wilhelm Reich) in this iconic music video. I love and respect that, due to difficulties obtaining a UK work visa on short notice, he offered to do it for free. Rest In Peace Donald Sutherland. 🕊️♥️
If anyone watches The Handmaids Tale this song was in an episode that turns everything,hope to a hopeless place. I love Kate Bush and when this came on watching this episode, chills. So happy that her music is being brought up front for more people to experience her brilliance.
This is how I discovered her! Shazam'd it as I was listening, watching that episode and fell in love! Crazy all the recognition she's receiving 30+ years later!!❤️
@@berry.morgan actually i wasn't alive back then but Bush had pre big commercial success with Hounds of Love as far as I can tell, so i don't really think they would've been too weirded out
Who's here in 2024 cause they're rewatching The Handmaid's Tale? And who will be here over and over again like a hound in love just simply cause Kate Bush's music is way ahead of its time? As if that weren't already mindblowing enough, the mv was conceptualized by Terry Gilliam and stars Donald Sutherland. Aweverload.
That day the sun comes out and the light falls in, the rain falls in joy...the first taste of forever, that smile and the calling never forgotten with ♥ Kate, RIP Don Sutherland what a beautiful day on White Horse Hill
@@TonyEnglandUK Not Irony. It will happen and it will be no different than flicking a lighter. Fire was once our Unobtanium. We have since tamed it's creation. Sadly not it's devastation quite yet but, that day will come.
Agreed. I was thinking about this today. From the moment I heard it as a kid in the mid 80’s, I can’t quite get my head around it. It’s a very odd feeling - in a wonderful way. I can picture in perfect detail where I was, who I was with, when I heard it too. A masterpiece.
BECAUSE you REEMMBER the other timelines! With tesla tech/ searl effect generators / electro gravitics / anti gravity/ NEARLY free energy ... all hidden from us... this video is a SIGNIFICANT symbol of SUPRESSED TECHNOLOGIES... we CRY because we KNOW what Earth could be ... its like... imagine an Earth timeline without PCs and internet, and the best peopel have bynow is like an n64 maybe and no wifi, no internet, all banned by the government early on.... now imagine that timeline gets a GLIMPSE of OUR TIMELINE with basically STAR TREK hand computers that can do video calls anywhere on the planet ...... that would have been a dream.. if we didnt get Pcs and the internet ... AND GUESS WHAT? In THAT timeline WITHOUT INTERNET we MAY have anti gravity and free energye tc, and the secret is to find a way to combine them all in one timeline peacefully
I know exactly what you mean. I also have a few special songs where I lose my breath and my eyes fill with tears. May I ask how old you are currently Often it is the case that, for example, you have noticed an argument of the parents as a child and it has played exactly the song on the radio. As an adult person, you then have very emotional feelings when listening to the song and often no longer know why. I once talked to my sister about it and she told me about an unpleasant experience when we were toddlers. Then I understood why I always lose my breath with this particular song.
When I tell you I grew up on Kate bush as a black women I’m so thankful!!! My uncle was so versatile he showed me n my sister versatility in music!!!! So when I seen the season finale of The handmaids tale and they played this song I just smiled because it fit so perfect!!! Season 4 come TF ON!!!!
No matter what culture you come from you should have an appreciation for all good music and this is one of those masterpieces. As another black woman, I totally agree.
To describe Kate Bush is honestly beyond words, you have to listen to her. In my personal opinion, this song is even better than Running Up That Hill. Of course the entire album and Kate Bush and her music in general is wonderful, but this is my favorite from Hounds of Love and it gives me chills but also makes me want to cry because of how beautiful it is.
The best songwriters understand ambivalence. I could name a dozen Joni Mitchell tracks, for example and perhaps my favourite of all 'It Keeps You Runnin' by the Doobie Bros.
Kate Bush resurgence has been the highlight of 2022 for me. Fan for 20+ years. Stoked she has legions of new young fans. It's good music everyone. Let's all enjoy it together ❤️
I love the fact that she went "Music Industry? F**k that.", bought a house equipped with a recording studio and only released an album when she felt like it.
I may be one of those that seems bitter but the reason behind it, is that whatever song these "new fans" are currently lionizing and creaming themselves over that they saw on (insert the latest pop culture phenomenon movie/tv show/video game/TikTok) is that the artist (in this case, Kate Bush) typically has a discography of other hits & incredible deep cuts but these "new fans" don't even bother to check out their other stuff and then like a biblical locust infestation, are gone just as quickly as they waxed poetic about said song, in this case "Running Up That Hill". So yeah, I don't expect to see any comments from them on any of her other hits, let alone any underrated gems on Hounds of Love or Aerial.
It is a pity that they are expanding their musical knowledge via a series, on the other hand it is good that they have discovered a whole new world of music 🎶.
Kate Bush, Terrie Gilliam, Julian Doyle, and Donald Sutherland?! Now that's an all-star lineup!
You can say that again Bruce.
Kate Bush songs were never just songs . . they were a piece of art and/or poetry that had to be experienced in order to fully appreciate. Thank you Kate

I'm trying to understand. What was the motivation for the original being created (fun / periods of drought)? Please excuse my slowness on this.

Why does there have to be any motivation other than the fact he had a theory and a bit of an obsession with Orgone and he wanted to put his theory to the test?

This is no accident, her genius of tapping into the great artists of her generation leaves us with a powerful legacy that we will no doubt revisit. So many of us are here because of Donald Sutherland. I hope he was tremendously proud of this collaboration. He will surely rest in peace.
Well said. I 100% agree
That was a very lovely sentiment and very apropos. It's such a cruel joke that we have such a very short time in this world and yet it seems to be in our nature to waste so much of that precious time and all too often others precious time as well.
Oh FFS !
Sutherland *was* proud of the video, and loved working with Kate, as I've indicated in the comments elsewhere.
Somehow I keep encountering connections to both of them in many unexpected places.
John here-I'm almost 70 and this song still makes me cry-I don't know why I feel such emotion when Kate sings this, but memories of my late father well up in me and I'm a kid all over again.

If you're new to Kate Bush and discovered her recently through TV shows, you should know this song and video is based on a true story. It's about the eccentric scientist Wilhelm Reich. He had a far too complicated life to go into here and he wasn't well man but he was harmless. He may have been bipolar or schizophrenic but he devoted his intellect to helping humanity as best he could. His orgone machine, depicted here, was his undoing. He ran afoul of the FDA, got into legal troubles, was arrested and ordered by a court to destroy this machines and burn his own books. No, really. I wish I was making that up. He died in prison of a heart attack a year later. Kate Bush got the idea for this song from the book written by his son, Peter, whom she plays in the video.
Thank you!
Wow x I’m finding things about every things every day ? Big up to Donald Sutherland for being ing the video x
No question the United States government has run amok on our freedoms at times, this is just another incident sweep into the dustbin of history.
I don't think Wilhem Reich would really appreciate you calling him "harmless". I understand why you used the word. He didn't want to cause harm, so that's good. His "Mass Psychology of Fascism" is still relevant. Not sure about the orgone.
Undoing? Wow! not sure about that, nothing is hidden that will not come to light.
Wrote her first hit at 13. Produced all her music and performed most instruments. Crafted unique stories and characters for all of her songs. Didn't care about fame and fortune, just wanted to express her vision.
This woman is my fucking hero and she will go down in history as a true creative genius.
Absofuckinglutely!! Wrote the Man with the Child in his eyes at 15!!!
An artist through and through
Wilhelm Reich was a real person
i wish all children were encouraged to think so creatively
Damn straight! Love her vision. Beautiful expressive Soul.
REST IN PEACE DONALD SUTHERLAND
THANKS FOR HELPING TO MAKE THIS SONG & VIDEO, A KATE BUSH MASTERPIECE.
Amen
"I just know that something good is going to happen.
I don't know when
but just saying it could even make it happen."
--Kate Bush
I love this lyric especially in these dark times. Who agrees with me?
Did Mark Devlin bring you here? 😊
@@XX-yz6hu On this occasion, yes. I shared it on my fb timeline. Love the Hounds of Love album.. one of my all time favs. Do you follow Mark Devlin? He's a straight talker. I am a big fan.
@@digiroj I have been following Mark Devlin for a couple of months now. He's brilliant, very articulate and knowledgeable. I'm slowly catching up with his Good Vibrations podcasts and I am following all of his current stuff!.
I dont
Definitely helps keep the positive vibe going.
This song is a musical manifestation of the feeling of hope in the midst of emotional despair.
Yes it is
The most greatest thing to ever happen is to come!
No, the song is quite literally about a crazy psychologist who thought he could cure cancer with bottled orgasm energy.
@@bahamut256, probably you did't know that cancer is due the excess of Candida Albicans fungus. That's happen when the body turns to acid state pruducing lack of O2. Sometimes happens when the patient is in depressed mood. I think orgasm energy can't depress anybody. Do you?
I do feel like killing myself you could be right
This is not just a song. It´s art. It works on so many levels. As an epitaph for Wilhelm Reich. On the relationship between son/daughter and father. About free thinking vs. the system. The loneliness of the artist. And that´s only what I see in this song. Kate Bush - truly one of the greatest singers/songwriters of her generation. Maybe *the* greatest.
well said..
So beautyful and i miss my daddy so much ❤️🩹 a lonely daughter with her daddy in heaven
Ive only just discovered this song because of Reich. I only learned about Reich after renting a house right next to his old house in Rangely, Maine. Did a little research on him, very interesting. Orgone energy. Anyway i thought I'd share the rabbit hole I've gone down.
@@pickettmandi I felt like the cleverest, cleverest child when I realized that this was partly about Reich, shortly after I'd learned about Reich. Might've been '87?
You got that spot on👍
If I can't remember Donald Sutherland for any of his many films, "Cloudbusting" is what I'll remember him for. RIP, Mr. Donald Sutherland.
Watch don’t look now and you won’t forget x
Start the Revolution Without Me..🤣❤️❤️❤️
me too
I cry everytime I hear this song. My dad committed suicide in 1986 & this was our song. I imagine what life would be like if i had him in it.
I share this feeling 2. ❤

I am so very, very sorry for your loss❤
my auntie loved this song she would have had her 59th birthday on the 25th February but she died at the of 28 from a brain tumour every time i hear this song i think of her
😐❤
For me one of the best music videos ever made. RIP Donald Sutherland.
When I became a Kate Bush fan while I was in high school in the 1980s, I never dreamed that more than 30 years later so many people would finally realize how wonderful she is. It's so great.
so so true.
This has always been one of my favourite driving songs, but it needs to be in the right location: on an open road, preferably winding, somewhere like New Zealand, or coastal California, or British Columbia.
So true. She was way ahead of her time and can still leave today's younger "divas" found wanting.
I don’t want to make you sound old, but the 90s where 30 years ago😂
you're old, it's 40 years later..
RIP Donald Sutherland. I always remember, amongst all of his work, that he did this brilliant video. 💔
As a fan who grew up listening to Kate Bush during the mid-nineties, it’s so nice to see the next generation discover her and keep her music alive 🥰
Ditto young lady.x
one of her new fans here (but since the Babooshka tiktok trend) im so happy to have found Kate's music ♥ her talent is truly unmatched
@@floranagy6225 good girl,you know it makes sense.x
It really is used to listen to cloud busting and running up that hill and I thought the music was gone but now it's back and back for a while
@@floranagy6225 if only America had discovered/recognised her talent earlier during her career maybe she’d have made even more of her amazing work. Glad she’s finally made the Billboard top 10
Terry Gilliam, Kate Bush, and Donald Sutherland, what a collaboration.
yes donald sutherland & sons
brasserie
I saw Donald Sutherland once standing in line for a movie, and although I never bother famous people, I couldn't help but ask him a question. This video was so important to me growing up, and I knew a little bit about W. Reich. There is a moment when Kate Bush reaches into his pocket and pulls out a book. I asked him what the book was. He said it was Peter Reich's book titled "A book of Dreams," and that Kate had given it to him as research for the part. He kept it everywhere he went during the shoot. I thanked him and walked away.
Rudi. The last few words of your comment are, in themselves, beautifully put. As if they too came out of the clouds to tell a story. Kind regards, Bill.
You should be able to read the title and author @ 1:51
Brilliant :)
What a lovely story thanks for sharing
yup, great song
Hollywood actors don't often appear in music vids. This must have meant a lot to him. RIP Donald S.
according to wikipedia, he wasn't cleared visa wise to work in the UK so he did this part for free. he must have really loved kate and the concept. a true and passionate artist who worked for the art's sake. RIP.
His b'day was next month 7/17
Play this video again to celebrate 🥂
@@peachymilky
He lived Kate the whole Cool thing!
According to Sutherland, he was approached about doing it and turned the offer down, but a few days later, Kate herself appeared at his hotel room door to try and change his mind, which obviously succeeded.
@@ericreese7792 Thank goodness for that. Well done, Kate. She was obviously very passionate about this project.
Kate Bush is my favorite studio Ghibli character.
hey i like this comment
omg yes! How precious.
Well Kate has been going since the 70's. So maybe she actually *was* An inspiration for Miyazaki?? 🤔☺️
Haha I love this
That's exactly what I wanted to say
This song probably saved my life. This year started bad and it was only blood, sweat and tears. If there was a chance for pleasure I was caught in my dark bubble. I have so many nice people around me but I could not decide who I should bother with my issues. Then I heard this song on the radio and something changed. I listened to it for hours, I cried for hours and it gave me the power to be honest to everyone who asks me, how I am. I knew, the people around me would support me and they do. Since I start every morning with the words "I just know that something good is gonna happen", things are really getting better. Thank you, Kate Bush!
Glad you made it out bro. Stay strong x
Music is a form of therapy!
Very brave, so glad you did. And this is a Beautiful song!
bleib stark
Wonderful! I feel the same! The song and the words are really helping me find hope and strength too.
RIP Donald Sutherland, great actor and great performance in this video. Man what a man.
RIP, Donald. What an actor!
An ‘Outbreak’ of emotions!
I second that..............💔
She was 27 when she wrote this song. The brilliance, the focus , the Art created by this musical piece. I am glad I lived the 80's era. What we have today is....
perhaps you just need to switch genres. Of course, there's only one Kate Bush.
L' Arte o è eccelsa o non è arte.
Anche se i grandi artisti non nascono tutti i giorni e non godono della pubblicità dei mediocri.
...........shite
Music from the 70-90s is amazing, but today we have some masterpieces too.
@@little_Star88Care to name me one, Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa, Billie Elish etc...really...Kate Bush was younger than them and still produced songs we're listening to today..can't and I guarantee you we won't be saying that about some of the people I mentioned above in 30 years..
Here because I found out that Donald Sutherland has sadly passed at the age of 88. I've always admired the work ethic of the Sutherland family & have long enjoyed Donald & Kiefer as actors. Donald clearly had talent beyond measure on the small & big screen & was very good at entertaining audiences whatever role he played. Rest in peace sir & thank you so very much for all the joy your talent has brought. Thoughts & condolences are with Donald Sutherland's family, friends, colleagues & everyone else who knew & loved him.
He shared his gifts .. 🕊️😘
Donald's ex-wife, Kiefer's mother Shirley Douglas, was a brilliant actress as well. A sad day to hear of Donald's passing. RIP Donald Sutherland.
Shows what a big influence Kate Bush had on the world when your able to get an actor like Donald Sutherland to appear in your music video
He just wanted to have the privilege of working alongside the greatest songwriter this world has ever produced. He didnt want to be paid.
Feel like it's Donald s honnor to be in her video
Ah, confirmed! Thanks :)
@@michaelsrowland Also I read that it was Mrs Bush's dream to have one of her favorite actor in her video, so it goes both way ! (So many of her lyrics are inspired by fiction, not to mention "it's in the trees ! It's coming !" straight out of "Night of the demon"…)
@@pateris Mrs Bush? Are you talking about Kate s mum?
Bush's music was decades and decades ahead of it's time, still sounds as fresh now as it did in the 80's, fantastic.
You can partly thank Kim Ryrie, Peter Vogel and Tony Furse, the developers of the Fairlight synthesizer for it. The "Kate Bush sound" in this recording has been largely created by the rather interesting but also quite limited voice quality of that early fully digital instrument as far as I know. The severe technical limitations also seem to have led to artistic choices on other recordings like "Running Up That Hill".
Something about him in this, I just absolutely love. RIP Donald.
Everytime it 🌧 your here in my head like the 🌞 coming out oh I just know that something good is gonna happen 👑❤️☁️
❤I don't know when Im saying it could even make it happen
It was tough for an 18 year old straight male jock to like Kate Bush, but this album was just too good for me to bow to peer pressure. I still remember asking for this album for my birthday. I had no idea that the cover was going to be so feminine and so pink, so when my dad bought it home I felt very weird. After I listened to it a few times I no longer gave a shit what he thought. God bless him for not making fun of me. To this day, one of my favourite albums of all time.
Jim Beam Weird comment...glad you're happy and not pink...give thanks to you dad...but....really....
Thanks to Kate :)
Estavazz Estavazz Yes, it's a very personal comment which I suppose is weird on the internet. It really was a strange experience though and I thought I would share. Whoever marketed the album in Canada should have been fired because the cover was so feminine that it made it very difficult for some men to buy. That seems like a pretty poor marketing practice.
Jim Beam You had more courage than I did Jim, I was a fan of hers from the first time I heard Wuthering Heights but wouldn't admit if for many years.
Kent Mains Your comment is incredibly charitable and gracious. I doubt I had much more courage than you. I certainly didn't broadcast my love of Kate Bush to the vast majority of my friends. I was also fortunate enough to have a male friend who liked her when I first started listening to her in 1982. That helped immeasurably.
I remember seeing the Wuthering Heights video on MTV way back when and my friends were like "what the hell is that?" I was saying to myself "this is pure magic being sung by a goddess!" I've only very recently admitted to all who care, or don't, my love of her music.
Donald Sutherland died today. To me he will always be the scientist in this video.
He is much more...but yes 😊
I lost my father at 4 years old... this song struck such a chord... 66 now and its still sad but sweet to come back here... your son is coming out.
Kate Bush , never again will the music industry find another singer with such a haunting vocals, sheer genius
Birdy next album is inspired by Kate bush
@@Raven-gv5wp that maybe, however not even birdy can live up to Kate Bushes haunting vocals
Beth Orten has that also ..90s anthems central reservation
@@dalepollock9361 sorry. Not a patch on Kate Bush, no comparison
Agreed!
At one of my lowest points in my life, after a horrible mental breakdown I remember listening to this song while the tears rolled down my cheeks. Since then this song is the one I always seek out when my soul is crushed and I’m full of despair. Somehow Kate always manages to lift my spirit and convince me that I won’t always feel this way and the good times will return.
💓💓💓
That is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Music heals. At least I hope it does........ Take it easy.
I love this comment. I can relate so much. You’re not alone.
This song def evokes emotion
As soon as I heard the news, I ran to watch this video. What a beautiful man. 😔
Me too 😢

Always loved this song & video. RIP, Donald.
Im 24 and just have discovered Kate Bush. I couldnt be happier
Kelp welcome to the wonderful world of Kate Bush. You won’t look back x
Wish I could rediscover her, it’s the best feeling
Enjoy the listening.
I grew up with the same three songs and always sort of took it for granted she was good. Now I am actually exploring her soundscape due to her use of strings. She's damn good.
Enjoy your journey.. Its one hell of a ride! X
The 80's wasn't a decade, it was an emotion. The iconic voices of somefemale singers are just... unforgettable.
❤
Why does listening kate Bush make me want to drink wine and dance around my lounge. Too amazing for words
Same here x
Tell me when and where I'll bring the wine lol
for me it's more like run up a hill screaming the lyrics with the wind blowing in my face
@@fadeintou With tears of faith and hope running down my face!!
I think its partly to do with the fact she is a dancer..
This is not a song, this is art.
you got that right ...yes it is !
the day my dad escaped , returned , escaped from DUTCH GOVERNMENT 1980'S was after this song aired IN THE netherlands
But music is art too so its double artistic.
@@jordan-a.c.daimler-bellged309 Half right as music is art too.
It is
“Sometime in 1985, a package arrived with a video cassette and an autographed album,” says Peter Reich. “My wife and children, who were five and two at the time, listened, watched and were entranced. Quite magically, this British musician had tapped precisely into a unique and magical fulfilment of father-son devotion, emotion and understanding. They had captured it all.”
Everyone knows that “Wuthering Heights”, Kate Bush’s debut single of 1978, was inspired by Emily Brontë’s gothic tale of unfulfilled passion and madness on the moors. But how many people know how one boy’s relationship with his father, a disciple of Freud who fled Nazi-occupied Austria to pursue his studies on the orgasm in America, came to inspire another, similarly cherished piece of pop-culture history?
If you’ve seen the video for “Cloudbusting”, released 30 years ago this month, you’ll know that it’s a cinematic, oddly moving tale of a young boy, played by Kate Bush in a ragamuffin wig, and his idyllic adventures with his dad, played by Donald Sutherland, who is working on a giant ray-gun contraption that can shoot at clouds to make it rain. At some point in the video, a group of men in suits arrive to snatch the boy’s father away, but not before the boy can reach into his dad’s jacket pocket and pull out a slim volume called “A Book of Dreams”.
Peter Reich: “Watching it for the first time, and ever since, not infrequently, the video’s emotional power is overwhelming and enduring, even after 30 years - or 60 years, for me. I did meet Kate once or twice. She gave me a very British umbrella, how very appropriate, one rainmaker to another.”
What's the source for this? Can I read more somewhere?
I've absolutely LOVED her since I was 17 yrs old.....I'm 56 now!!!!
One rainmaker to another.. love that
To pursue his studies on the orgasm in America?
@@PolarisCastillo 🤔🤭🥴
After hearing about the sad passing of Mr. Sutherland I just remembered that I haven't heard this masterpiece in months.
Thank you for one of the best music videos of all time.
This song has always affected me each time I hear it. I think it stirs up dormant emotions in many.
I have loved Kate's voice since the first time I heard it.
Me also..
ObsoleteOddity
Yo´re absolutely right. Just passed by to hear the first minutes to recapture that
ObsoleteOddity madonnas.
Then the video - brings back an important memory of a mentor I had - a major trauma as he was ripped away from me. Evocative, indeed.
RIP Donald Sutherland, this has been one of my favorite videos for nearly 40 years
Farewell Donald Sutherland. The way he could convey so much emotion without any words in this video is remarkable ❤
I just heard Donald Sutherland has passed and this was the first thing I thought of. R.I.P. you legend and bust some clouds up there for us.
Rest in Peace Donald Sutherland. We will always remember you, when we listen to this song.
This has always been my favourite Kate Bush song.
Me too...
Since it came out. 👌
My fav is "the 9th wave", I'm cheating a bit...
Definitely in my top three!
Always my favourite.
"Everytime it rains you're here in my head, like the sun coming out - oh I just know something good is going to happen, I don't know when, but just saying it could even make it happen!" - Pure brilliance.
RIP Donald. One of the best actors to ever grace our screens. Missed forever.❤xxx
A beautiful video / song by Kate. Would be nithing without the above.❤
Just what England always needed - a machine that makes it rain.
good point 🤔
The song is about Wilhelm Reich's Cloudbuster. It was supposed to a machine that would make it rain. He did his experiments in the states.
Cam now they just spray chemicals into the sky to make it rain
@Honesty First she is a witch mate be honest with yourself
We've always had that it's called harp weather manipulation, read and learn , my friend x

He had great screen presence. He will be missed. R.I.P
Soooo many facets to Donald is why he was Soooo amazing! 🕊️😘🥂🌕
This was the first place I looked for when I heard of Donald Sutherland passing this morning so sad R.I.P Donald I love your movies
Same for me... Rest in peace Donald
RIP Donald Sutherland. A great, versatile actor. The passing of a giant 😔
Kate Bush was one of the voices of my youth and Donald Sutherland the greatest actor back than. RIP Mr.Sutherland....
From Wiki: Taking inspiration from the 1973 memoir A Book of Dreams, which Bush read and found deeply moving, the song is about the very close relationship between psychiatrist and philosopher Wilhelm Reich and his young son, Peter, told from the point of view of the mature Peter. It describes the boy's memories of his life with Reich on their family farm, called Orgonon, where the two spent time "cloudbusting", a rain-making process which involved using a machine designed and built by Reich - a machine called a cloudbuster - to point at the sky. The lyrics further describes the elder Reich's abrupt arrest and imprisonment, the pain of loss the young Peter felt, and his helplessness at being unable to protect his father.
And you better believe they totally stole his ideas and claimed them for themselves.
Thank you
I am again reading ‘rede an den kleinen mann’ by reich, very moving (listen, little man) ❤️
Amazing Story, love Cloudburstng ,superb video . ☁️☁️💚
the book is so good, i highly recommend picking it up
My favorite Kate Bush video! When this showed up on Mtv it was like a ray of sunshine on a cold day.
That’s the point 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵 even the rain is what brings us clear skies
When I heard the sad news today this is the first thing I thought of...love him in this! RIP Donald, you've given us some wonderful memories.
I am 16 yrs old and just finished a critical listen to KB "Hounds of Love" album. UNBELIEVABLE MUSIC STORIES ART LYRICS MOOD MUSICIANSHIP PRODUCTION SINGING....ETC....FLAWLESS. I AM SURE NO BAND OR SINGER IN MY GENERATION CAN EVEN COME CLOSE TO DUPLICATING. MS BUSH
You are very wise for sixteen years old! We are all so glad that your generation is discovering her. She is remarkable talented. Keep listening and you will grow to love all her music. I have been recently rewatching her videos (I'm sixty-two!), but I first learned about her in my mid-twenties. As I watch her videos from those early days, I can see where she may have influenced Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga, if (and this is a big IF) they ever watched her videos and listened to her music. I think that her talent and skill actually run deeper.
It's OK Charlie, You don't have to yell. We are old, but not that old. :)
it is her best album
No best album. Listen to them all. Like the best authors/musicians trust her creations. Listen and if one song or album doesn’t speak to you it very well could at a different time.
Hi Charlie Dunn III!, I'm pretty sure that the British Invasion of music of the 80s into the 90s is some of the richest lyrical music ever made. I hope you continue to explore more artists from the "invasion" it sounds like you're absolutely going to love it!
My Dad loved this song and Kate Bush, He would always tell me he met Kate bush in a pub and asked her if he could buy her a drink, she said no. Had this song played at his funeral.
Kate only drinks fairy tears.
@@detlevtimm3019 nice
@@detlevtimm3019 Well that explains the great fairy tear shortage back in the day. Kate had them drank dry to make creative music - a sacrifice of sorts, I guess.
I'd love to have Kate Bush reject my offer of a drink at a pub. Your dad's legend lives on.
My wife's father was an Australian scientist/rainmaker pioneer in the '50s and I find that watching this video always makes me cry with joy - it is just so deep and beautiful.
Rest In Peace Donald Sutherland. Thank You for all your movies and great acting Sir! 🙏
Amen
I'm absolutely delighted that a whole new generation is discovering this genius ❤
I really couldn't agree more! ❤❤❤
Me too, this is definitely my favourite of Kate's
Yes, she is.
I am but I'm also a little gutted too as growing up as undiagnosed 'ADHD and autistic' I always believed Kate was special to 'me' and resonated to me and was almost exclusive. No-one in my day (unless you were weird....cared or wanted to know KB and laughed at me). I am pleased that she has this new following. She deserves it xx
@@karenyoung2526 I always loved her, her voice, her creativity, her beauty, she was so unique. Still is.
This was my dad's favorite of her music videos and fit his personality as a scientist so perfectly. What irony that she is rediscovered by a new generation just months after his passing last fall but so good to be reminded of him everywhere these days
i hope you have happy memories whenever you hear these songs
@@aEqueall reminds me of cloudbusting with him in the yard as a kid with all of our 'experiments'
Condolences to you for your dad. So glad you were able to share with him the love of her music.
hopefully your dad never realized that this song + video is about another dad who dedicated his life to the scientific pursuit of building big orgasm boxes for naked people to sit in.
Oh my heart. 💔 I just heard the sad news about Donald Sutherland’s passing. I “ran” to Kate Bush’s UA-cam channel to view this masterpiece, for which I will always fondly remember him. Regardless of his many other achievements, I will always remember him as the scientist (Wilhelm Reich) in this iconic music video. I love and respect that, due to difficulties obtaining a UK work visa on short notice, he offered to do it for free. Rest In Peace Donald Sutherland. 🕊️♥️
To me: one of the greatest actors of our time. R.I.P. Donald Sutherland!
If anyone watches The Handmaids Tale this song was in an episode that turns everything,hope to a hopeless place. I love Kate Bush and when this came on watching this episode, chills. So happy that her music is being brought up front for more people to experience her brilliance.
Just watched the clip of The Handmaids Tale where this song is played and it’s 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
This is how I discovered her! Shazam'd it as I was listening, watching that episode and fell in love! Crazy all the recognition she's receiving 30+ years later!!❤️
They also feature This Woman’s Work in Handmaid’s Tale as well, which just makes me cry everytime
Season 5 in September 😁😁😁👍
Handmaid’s Tale brought me here.
I saw Back to the Future in 1985 at the cinemas. In those days they would play a music video before
And they played this. Great on the big screen.
💚
what a privilege it must've been to see this gem on a big screen!
I bet it seemed weird as hell to the mainstream audience tho lol
@@berry.morgan my memory was of it being rather atmospheric to watch and like a mini film
@@berry.morgan actually i wasn't alive back then but Bush had pre big commercial success with Hounds of Love as far as I can tell, so i don't really think they would've been too weirded out
Who's here in 2024 cause they're rewatching The Handmaid's Tale? And who will be here over and over again like a hound in love just simply cause Kate Bush's music is way ahead of its time? As if that weren't already mindblowing enough, the mv was conceptualized by Terry Gilliam and stars Donald Sutherland. Aweverload.
That day the sun comes out and the light falls in, the rain falls in joy...the first taste of forever, that smile and the calling never forgotten
with ♥ Kate, RIP Don Sutherland what a beautiful day on White Horse Hill
It's Summer Solstice today with a Big Strawberry 🍓 Full Moon rising 🌕 Donald left on a magical day! 🕊️😘🥂
This song puts me in such a strange mood, both joyful and melancholic at the same time.
For me, it's humans fighting against god and the irony of praying they'll win.
@@TonyEnglandUK Not Irony. It will happen and it will be no different than flicking a lighter. Fire was once our Unobtanium. We have since tamed it's creation. Sadly not it's devastation quite yet but, that day will come.
Agreed. I was thinking about this today. From the moment I heard it as a kid in the mid 80’s, I can’t quite get my head around it. It’s a very odd feeling - in a wonderful way.
I can picture in perfect detail where I was, who I was with, when I heard it too.
A masterpiece.
Yes I agree. My died died around the same time this came out so it always hit hard for me for that additional reason . Beautiful and sad.
Just as it should.. 😌
I cannot sing this song without crying and I don't know why... It just makes me feel so emotional.
I agree, it's incredibly moving...! Just brilliant!
Reading your comment made me tear up. It's really does some huh? Peace and blessings 🙏🏾.
BECAUSE you REEMMBER the other timelines! With tesla tech/ searl effect generators / electro gravitics / anti gravity/ NEARLY free energy ... all hidden from us... this video is a SIGNIFICANT symbol of SUPRESSED TECHNOLOGIES... we CRY because we KNOW what Earth could be ... its like... imagine an Earth timeline without PCs and internet, and the best peopel have bynow is like an n64 maybe and no wifi, no internet, all banned by the government early on.... now imagine that timeline gets a GLIMPSE of OUR TIMELINE with basically STAR TREK hand computers that can do video calls anywhere on the planet ...... that would have been a dream.. if we didnt get Pcs and the internet ... AND GUESS WHAT? In THAT timeline WITHOUT INTERNET we MAY have anti gravity and free energye tc, and the secret is to find a way to combine them all in one timeline peacefully
I know exactly what you mean.
I also have a few special songs where I lose my breath and my eyes fill with tears.
May I ask how old you are currently
Often it is the case that, for example, you have noticed an argument of the parents as a child and it has played exactly the song on the radio.
As an adult person, you then have very emotional feelings when listening to the song and often no longer know why.
I once talked to my sister about it and she told me about an unpleasant experience when we were toddlers.
Then I understood why I always lose my breath with this particular song.
It's a sad story
Sir Donald Sutherland, watching you was such a privilege, RIP.
R.I.P. Donald 😔 There is no other like you. Just like in this video.
When I tell you I grew up on Kate bush as a black women I’m so thankful!!! My uncle was so versatile he showed me n my sister versatility in music!!!! So when I seen the season finale of The handmaids tale and they played this song I just smiled because it fit so perfect!!! Season 4 come TF ON!!!!

To describe Kate Bush is honestly beyond words, you have to listen to her. In my personal opinion, this song is even better than Running Up That Hill. Of course the entire album and Kate Bush and her music in general is wonderful, but this is my favorite from Hounds of Love and it gives me chills but also makes me want to cry because of how beautiful it is.
This is a masterpiece. It’s got a really sad feel to it, while also seeming joyful. I don’t understand how people can create something this pretty.
nailed the description 100%
I think that is the definition of hope Jason.
Having a soul as beautiful as Kate surely helps
The best songwriters understand ambivalence. I could name a dozen Joni Mitchell tracks, for example and perhaps my favourite of all 'It Keeps You Runnin' by the Doobie Bros.
Totally agree.
R.I.P Donald Sutherland. Absolute legend.

Kate Bush resurgence has been the highlight of 2022 for me. Fan for 20+ years. Stoked she has legions of new young fans. It's good music everyone. Let's all enjoy it together ❤️
She talks about climate (Ha-arp)
I love the fact that she went "Music Industry? F**k that.", bought a house equipped with a recording studio and only released an album when she felt like it.
@@CielEosubs At least the guy in the song was working on something and not just sitting in the road 😂
Both legends, genius. A true piece of art. ❤
Handsmaid's Tale brought me here!!! Kate Bush is wonderful!!!
She's gorgeous. Phenomenal.
Me too I’m a sucker for good movie and tv show soundtracks😩😩🎶
Lets welcome in all the new fans that may have just started to discover Kate Bush because of Stranger Things 4. Enjoy this masterpiece.
Yess I hate seeing fans being bitter towards new young fans
Actually, this song is from Handmade's tale S03, way before Stranger things.
No need to watch Stranger things for love this singer 😍
I may be one of those that seems bitter but the reason behind it, is that whatever song these "new fans" are currently lionizing and creaming themselves over that they saw on (insert the latest pop culture phenomenon movie/tv show/video game/TikTok) is that the artist (in this case, Kate Bush) typically has a discography of other hits & incredible deep cuts but these "new fans" don't even bother to check out their other stuff and then like a biblical locust infestation, are gone just as quickly as they waxed poetic about said song, in this case "Running Up That Hill". So yeah, I don't expect to see any comments from them on any of her other hits, let alone any underrated gems on Hounds of Love or Aerial.
It is a pity that they are expanding their musical knowledge via a series, on the other hand it is good that they have discovered a whole new world of music 🎶.
RIP Donald Sutherland, always in our hearts..
❤
I had to watch this when I heard the news...I love Kate Bush and I love Donald Sutherland...perfect song, perfect video...RIP
