Kate Bush

[HejiraNYC]

Oh, this reminds me... I have noticed a blitzkrieg of TV ads for the chick flick "Dear John" recently and I hear this song playing in the background featuring a male voice and a female voice singing in harmony. The first time I heard it, I could have sworn it was Kate Bush... but then I just couldn't reconcile this seemingly ****ty movie with the greatness that is Kate, so I concluded it wasn't her. So who is singing on this song? I'm too lazy to look it up...

Shockingly - it's Martha Wainwright & Snow Patrol. The song is called Set the Fire to the Third Bard. I thought it was KB too, the first time I heard it.

Upon reading this, I looked her up on youtube, and must say that I am umm.. that.

Maybe shes just not for me, but she is definitely different from anything i've ever heard haha

Reminds me a lot of Lady Gaga, who is influenced by her anyway.

Awww... sadness. But, yeah I guess not everybody's gonna like her.

I know some people who love her later stuff but can't listen to her first few albums. Her voice was much higher pitched.. squeaky. I'd say by the time she did Never For Ever her voice was more uh.. accessible? I personally love all the albums from The Kick Inside to The Dreaming, though.

But.. I love showing people the Wuthering Heights video with the original audio. It's madness. Freaks em out.

Oh yeah, I love that song! I don't own the album yet, unfortunately... I ended up buying it off of itunes.. I usually prefer to listen to whole albums, but I couldn't pass that one up.

Been blowin' through all my extra cash trying to buy FM/Stevie/Lindsey/Christine and now Kate Bush albums. Choosing which is next is difficult. Life's hard.
Wuthering Heights was my first Kate Bush song, too. Didn't really know what to think, heheh.. then I watched a couple other vids on youtube and her weirdness started to grow on me.

I love the interview and her explanation of the song Babooshka.

Whenever I watch her interviews, I always think, "Aww, bless her!" She's so adorable.

Cliff Richard??!! Oh Kate, you're amazing but just, no. Especially in terms of musical progession and change, surely not?! Then again, it's all subjective I suppose...
