Official Kate Bush Appreciation Thread

[Ele'ill]

It is past time that this thread existed on here it is important. When I go through bad times in life I often have go-to things like places, books, movies, and music that helps dull the pain, anxiety, or whatever it is I am facing. Kate Bush is one of those musicians. Her story telling is incredible, the music is great, the acting/theater element she brings into her work is lovely, not really seen in some of the music videos which are very 80's, but in the sound and construction of her songs and albums.

I know just the two I posted. But those others are awesome!

Anyone can explain why she wanted to run up that hill?

[PhoenixAsh]

because she made a deal with God?

[PhoenixAsh]

But this is what Kate said the song is about:



“ I was trying to say that, really, a man and a woman, can't understand each other because we are a man and a woman. And if we could actually swap each other's roles, if we could actually be in each others place for a while, I think we'd both be very surprised! [Laughs] And I think it would be lead to a greater understanding. And really the only way I could think it could be done was either... you know, I thought a deal with the devil, you know. And I thought, 'well, no, why not a deal with God!' You know, because in a way it's so much more powerful the whole idea of asking God to make a deal with you. You see, for me it is still called "Deal With God", that was its title. But we were told that if we kept this title that it would not be played in any of the religious countries, Italy wouldn't play it, France wouldn't play it, and Australia wouldn't play it! Ireland wouldn't play it, and that generally we might get it blacked purely because it had God in the title

But this is what Kate said the song is about:
lol so they changed the song because of materialistic opportunism. :blink: Dont people have a backbone?

[Ele'ill]

:blink: Dont people have a backbone?

they changed the title of the song to get the lyrics played, the lyrics are the same

one of my all-time favourite artists, I would have to include a kate bush album in my desert island discs (probably The Dreaming)


also I personally believe that kate bush is actually metal as fuck although I literally couldn't articulate why
