Kate Bush - Lily preview aka she's gone bats*** crazy again yay!!!!

[mdakd]

This was leaked from her official channel and promptly removed. After the calmness of her vocals on "Aerial", it's great to hear her let loose again! :eek:

"Lily" was never a favorite of mine before but that could be rapidly changing!

[HejiraNYC]

^^Ooh, this is the first thing I'm doing when I get home! I love me some wacked out Kate! I even like her donkey brays at the end of "Get out of My House."

I always grin when she says "I change into the mule...." and then the song gets even crazier. Craziest album ever and I love it! :]

[Meowi]

Wow! I really likes this. I am really glad it doesn't have that tacky 'Red Shoes' production about it. Lily is a really great song, but I hardly can stand listening to it.

"Lily" has always sounded so dated (like most of TRS), but if Kate is going all "The Dreaming" on the track, then I'm super excited!!!

[DefDumbandBlond]

I'm having a moron moment so I can't figure the link out. :laugh: This, The Red Shoes & Rubberband Girl are the songs I'm looking forward to hearing the most, as great as Deeper Understanding turned out to be it's getting harder to wait!

*Edit* Nevermind I found this http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KJL6QQMA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!! The release date needs to hurry up. O____O

[HejiraNYC]

^^OMG, thanks for posting that clip! Kate is really channeling her inner-Yoko Ono here. I love it!

Okay, maybe I'm missing something, but has a U.S. release date been set for TDC? I don't see it listed on Amazon (except as a costly import). :mad: I would especially love to get my hands on the deluxe edition.

As far as I know there's no US release date yet, but considering that you can pre-order the album on iTunes, it makes me think that they'll release a date soon. Hopefully :rolleyes:

I've done a little Deeper Understanding mashup...s'a little rough, but I still think it's pretty funkay.

Ooh I like it. Definitely pretty "funkay", but good.
Um...haha wait just a darn minute, I know you Pyewacket!
'Tis I, gothicaljordan, from Homeground. The one you know and love oh so much. Haha, I just got really confused for a minute. Where am I? Oh dear.
Anyhow, I really like it.

[Pyewacket]

Hey there gothicaljordan aka kick.inside! Good to see you here too! I did not know you were a Fleetwood Mac fan.

Psh yes you did! There was quite a bit of discussion about it when there was the thing about best female vocal performances or whatever.
Eh, doesn't matter. The point is yes, I definitely am.

[Pyewacket]

Oh. Okay!

Quick, without looking, list my favorites...from that thread...on another artist's forum...from some time ago. If you can, I will be gobsmacked! ;)

I am glad you like the Mac, they have long been favorites of mine (especially Stevie, but that goes without saying). I think Kate and the Mac have a few things in common, other than the fact that they asked her to tour North America with them and she said no. I think The Dreaming and Tusk have much in common. And that Big Love and Running Up That Hill have perhaps too much in common! :)

Ugh hmm...Linda Ronstadt keeps coming to mind (I have no idea what song/songs, though). I want to say Black Velvet was on there too. I don't know! :laugh:
I actually think I had more than one Fleetwood Mac song on my own list, and I ddin't want repeat artists. I believe I justified it by saying "One's sung by Stevie and one's sung by Christine, so it's okay!" Haha whatever. I'm probably remembering this totally wrong.
Yeah, Fleetwood Mac are long time favorites of mine too. I agree that The Dreaming and Tusk have a lot in common - the intensity, insanity, and creativity. Also how they're quite a departure from the albums that preceded them.
I don't know if I'd say that Big Love and RUTH are TOO similar, but yes, they definitely have a lot in common. Great songs both of them.

The Dreaming is hands down my favorite Kate Bush album, it also my favorite album of all time.

[wheart]

The Dreaming is hands down my favorite Kate Bush album, it also my favorite album of all time.

Ah yes!! it's absolutely my favorite kate bush album and it ranks in my top 5 best albums ever. It doesn't come any weirder...or more brilliant than The Dreaming. "Leave It Open" is utterly fascinating and prob my fav track.

I love hearing the demo version of "Leave It Open" because we have no demos from the NFE era onward, so it's amazing to me to hear a song like that in progress and hear what it sounded like before all of the effects / genius that Kate added.

"The Dreaming" is my favorite Kate album too and definitely in my top 5. I'm loving all of this "The Dreaming" love! :]

[kick.inside]

Haha, The Dreaming is also my favorite. Incredible album. I actually have a tattoo on my foot inspired by Night of the Swallow.

[Meowi]

Night of the Swallow is an amazing song.

[Pyewacket]

"Night of the Swallow" was my first Kate Bush song and a very special one for me.

I didn't know who Kate Bush was, but I did know she'd written that "Pat Benatar song 'Wuthering Heights'," which I'd loved, so I went out to find an album by her. Being in the US, however, I could only find "The Dreaming" (her previous two albums were not released here until later).

I got home and put the needle in the groove (kids, go ask your parents what that means). First the crackle and pop and then...WTF! I was promptly freaked out and scandalized. I was 14. It was $8. I thought it was crap and just unlistenable and I was out $8! Only "Night of the Swallow" seeped in...

...at first.

And then they all came pouring in. They were madness on vinyl. They were weird, but amazing. My brain began to sizzle. I did not sideline my Pat Benatar or Stevie Nicks records by any means, but, well, they did have to move over. Especially when I found out how to import everything else Kate Bush had ever done. If it hadn't been for NOTS (which doesn't stand for "night of a thousand Stevies" in my book), I never would have investigated further.

Thanks, NotS!

Are you saying that you weren't instantly enthralled by the throbbing madness of "Sat in Your Lap?" :shrug: Although I discovered The Dreaming after wearing the grooves out of Hounds of Love, it was love at first spin. My immediate favorite was the title track, which was the first time I'd ever heard a dijeridooo, and I thought it was the most amazing sound I'd ever heard. And regarding NotS, I would defy any singer today to try and do a cover version of it. Nobody can sing like that- jumping around keys, time signatures and octaves like it was just hop scotch. It baffles me that The Dreaming is like the worst selling Kate album in history when IMHO it is one of the greatest albums ever made. And what's even more baffling is that she was only 23 years old at the time! :eek:

[TrueFaith77]

I am torn--a part of me recognizes Hounds of Love as the opus, but The Dreaming is probably my favorite. Like if I had to have ONE Kate album with me on a desert island, it would likely be The Dreaming.

"Get Out of My House" is my favorite Kate Bush song.

This clip of Lily is enticing, but I actually always loved TRS version. It's one of two songs on that album that I would yank off for a Kate playlist or something.

ETA: You know what just hit me. If Buckingham Nicks had done Go Insane, there might have been a song on it like Kate Bush's "Get Out of My House"!

"maybe we are together in a parallel universe"... i'd like to visit that parallel universe.


OMG: Kate Bush should join Fleetwood Mac.

[Meowi]

^^
Well, she did have the chance to open for them on the Tusk Tour Britain. ;)
I am so upset the video and snippet were taken down. They were awesome!
