Thanks for this link, I LOVE this song. haven't seen the video in decades but watching it again I see some total similarities to this and some of Stevie's videos.... the big windows full of light ,the shadow of the window panes on the floor reminds me of almost identical scenes in the I Can't Wait video and the scene where she dances with the guy (starting around 2:41 in the video) is verrry reminiscent of the If Anyone Falls video.

For those interested in what "50 Words For Snow" holds in store for us, I am copying and pasting this post from everautumn in the KateBushNews&Information forum. I abbreviated his preamble (since it's probably bad form to post any of his wording at all -- sorry!):
"The BBC released a long version of Kate's interview with John Wilson for Front Row which ... indicated that Kate wanted to meet at her home studio so that she could resume work following the interview. The chat focused largely on Director's Cut, of course, but they did touch on the next recording. She actually reveals slightly more than I realized at the time." - - - - JOHN WILSON: ...And in the studio you’ve obviously been reworking these songs and seeking new inspiration and reinterpretation and it’s sparked off the process of recording new material. So you’ve finished this record, Director’s Cut, but you’re now working on another album? How far through are you? KATE BUSH: Yes. Well, the Director’s Cut has been finished for quite a while and although there were loose ends that had to be sorted, like the mastering and the artwork, which took a while, I started recording this new record quite soon. I’ve done most of the writing. JW: And how does the writing start? In a notebook? Are you sitting at the table writing lyrics first? Or does it always start with the suggestion of a melody or some kind of rhythm even? KB: Well, I’ve put a packet of bone meal on my piano. And it seems to be helping the sort of blossoming of the songs. JW: Bone meal? That you would normally put in the garden? KB Yes. I mean, it wasn’t deliberate – I was en route to the garden and I happened to have a packet of bone meal and just left it on the piano and it was there for a few days. And then I’d noticed actually that I’d written a couple of songs since it’d been there so I thought I’d just leave it there and see if it sped the process up a bit (laughs). JW: It’s working its magic through the ivories somehow? KB Yeah. JW: Can you give us any idea what the songs are sounding like? Is it going to be very different to this set you presented in the Director’s Cut? KB: Yeah, they’re quite bone mealy, I think (laughs). JW: More organic? KB: I think they’re different. I think they’re quite different, but then, that’s very important with me for each album, that it feels like I’m doing something different. So hopefully there’s something that’s a new approach or a new sort of genre that’s evolved in each album. JW: So Aerial was very electronic in a way and there’s a lot of soundscapes on that record. And you can get lost in a world of Aerial. And with this record, with the revisiting of Sensual World and The Red Shoes on Director’s Cut, I think there’s a great sense of intimacy. So, where’s the new album going to sit? Somewhere between those two? KB: It’s very difficult to talk about work in progress, because it is an evolving process and even if I was able to talk about it now, it might completely change in a few weeks. And so, it’d no longer be relevant. JW: And are you writing as quickly as when you were 20 years old? I mean, from start to finish, from putting a melody down or first lyric to finishing the song? KB: Well the song writing is normally quite quick. But the arrangement and production can sometimes take a bit longer. But with quite a few of these new songs, I’ve kind of gone back to an older approach where I would sit at the piano and just keep working them. So they’re much more kind of “worked in” before they go into the studio. JW: And thematically, lyrically, are they stories or do you look at yourself? Are they autobiographical songs? ‘Cos you’ve really always been a narrative lyricist. KB: I think telling stories is the kind of buzz for me, really. And although obviously my life does seep into my work – it would be impossible for it not to – I don’t think I could say really any of my work is autobiographical. Maybe “Moments of Pleasure” touches on stuff that has actually happened, most of it is just made up story, but I’m putting experiences that I’ve had into it. JW: …Very often you are looking to literature for inspiration. Does that still happen? KB: I’ve always found reading a book a very powerful experience. I read a lot when I was very young and I think it’s an important thing to do, to read a lot of books. But I think there’s all kinds of places inspiration can come from, whether it’s a book or a film or maybe something that somebody just says or a thought that pops into your head… The whole thing is such an elusive process. JW: …And is there a master plan, then? You’re putting Director’s Cut out and you’re working on a new album, as-yet-untitled, you don’t know how it’s going to sound, even, but you’ve got how many songs – most of them written? KB: Um… yeah. JW: (Laughs) You’re not gonna give too much away about this, are you? KB: No, I just think you can’t talk about something that isn’t finished. You know, I might end up with twice the amount of songs I’ve got. JW: When do you expect it to be heard? KB: Well, I suppose like all my records, I hope that they’ll be very quick and easy to make. So, let’s see. JW: Next year? Couple of years? KB: I don’t know. The most important thing is that it’s got something hopefully of worth to send out there, otherwise you wouldn’t put it out. It’s very frustrating that albums take as long as they do and I wish there weren’t such big gaps between them. Sometimes it’s extremely stressful. Last edited by Pyewacket; 09-15-2011 at 01:09 AM..

*lowers head in shame* Who's Kate Bush? I don't think I've ever heard her music.

You have probably heard her music, and if you've lived through the eighties you've atleast seen her pretty face several times on MTV.

 ).Also, for more Stevie comparisons sake, I always refer to "Ghosts Are Gone" as a white trash version of Kate Bush's "Get Out of My House" post-break up exorcism. That's from Bush's definitive The Dreaming album (possibly her best work, though Hounds of Love is the opus). In contrast, I had written elsewhere on the board, that I feel like Kate and Stevie have very different approaches to appropriating other artworks (movies, especially) for the use of their songs. Kate always digs deeply into moments or aspects of a movie and gives it fully explored depth--but kind of on its own terms. Stevie, on the other hand, appropriates those images, moments, elements for how they resonate with her own personal emotions. Both approaches are fascinating and often result in beautiful songs.

You have to be fully immersed in Kate and then when you discover that song--the effect is devestating! I also wrote a (rather dense) piece on Kate Bush's Love and Anger video. For Bush fans, I hope it's enjoyed. For the uninitiated, it might be confusing. http://johndemetry.blogspot.com/2007...of-bushes.html

I personally view Kate and Stevie to be on opposite ends of the spectrum. I mean, like night and day. Their looks, their voices, their careers, their nationalities, their songwriting, their musical styles. Totally opposite in every possible way. The only thing they share is their bond as eccentric female singer-songwriters.
