Or the type of albums that they would have made!. Musically and in the studio she is Lindsey's equal. A far cry from Nicks's very basic musical skills.

Stevie could play Row Row Row your boat on the piano really well, Which is what Rhiannon sounds like when she's on piano.

Isn’t there some recent interview where Lindsey is asked if Stevie had left in the 80s, who he would’ve considered as an interesting replacement, to which he answered Kate. Something like that.

The amazing thing is that she's not embarrassed by her elementary level skills. Her ego is that big.

He's definitely a fan, per this 2018 tweet

Well would it bother you if you had written the basics of…
Gypsy.
Leather and Lace.
Sara.
Gold dust woman.
Landslide.
Edge of seventeen..
Etc etc etc..
Etc etc etc..
You get my drift ?

I'm fairly certain her current pen*s donor made the magic, based around her little poetic ditties.

Didn't she write the score to Songbird and knocked on Chris's door in the middle of then night when they both couldn't sleep? Or at least she told Chris what key to play it in?
And correct me if I am wrong but didn't Stevie actually name the song Songbird and said that it was a prequel to Nightbird?

You know it! and, Songbird is in F, and that's Old I'm Not The Boss's favorite key.

$he's just amazing!

I'd always thought "Big Love" was heavily influenced by "Running Up That Hill" and there are some quotes from Lindsay and an engineer that add weight to the idea. Musically they're fairly similar, but lyrically too.

Here's one article that namedrops her ... but I remember another as well.

I never realized Kate Bush was this delightful.

What’s the meaning behind “Running Up That Hill?”

People ask me that often. Some think it’s about literally running up a hill, but it’s not. I’ve never even seen a hill, let alone run up one.

You’ve never seen a hill?


No. Never. Why would I do that?

I just imagined everyone has seen a hill. There’s one right outside this window. Have a look.


I won’t be doing that. Please continue the interview without anymore hill questions.

I don’t think I can.”

Hill of beans comes to mind.

Isn’t that delightful?

While the literature PhDs over at Gaffa Web posit all sorts of arcane references and connections to poetry and art in her lyrics and build elaborate metaphors, the Fleetwood Mac fan base scratches their collective head, wondering where that damn hill is.

I don't wonder. It's clearly where the house is. :laugh:

Thoughts?

Have you listened to Ravel’s Introduction and Allegro recently?
