Written, recorded, produced, sang her own backing vocals, directed and starred in her own video, plays piano (as you see here). Plus, she's a trained dancer. The whole package.
The word genius is very much overused these days, but by any definition, Kate Bush is a true artist and a gold-plated genius. Kate began writing songs when she was aged 11, adding more complex lyrics from 13 onwards. She taught herself the piano, and by the she had reached her late teens, she had written over 200. She's a singer-songwriter, musician, dancer, record producer, video producer, and director. Kate was very involved in all aspects of both her 1979 sole tour, "The Tour Of Life" which was groundbreaking in terms of concert performances and her 2014 "Before The Dawn," a 22 date concert residency the tickets for which sold out in under 15 minute. Subsequently, Kate received a special Evening Standard Theatre award for those concerts. Kate has inspired and influenced countless numbers of musicians and artists over the years. Kate's discography is full of very high-quality material, not restricted to just the single releases. However, since you were asking for recommended Kate Bush songs, I will stick to the single releases, and I will present them in chronological order so you can see how she developed as an artist. So from her 1978 debut album "The Kick Inside," which sold over a million copies in the UK: 📍Wuthering Heights - Kate's debut single reached number 1 in the UK and other countries and in others wass very high in single charts. Indeed, it was a worldwide hit. 📍The Man With The Child In His Eyes From "Lionheart" released later in the same year: 📍Wow 📍Hammer Horror From 1980 "Never For Ever" - which Kate co-produced: Entered UK album charts straight into Number 1 📍Babooshka 📍Army Dreamers 📍Breathing The following non-album track was also released in 1980: 📍December Will Be Magic Again From 1982 "The Dreaming" - the 1st album where Kate was the sole producer: 📍Sat In Your Lap 📍The Dreaming 📍Suspended In Gaffa 📍There Goes A Tenner 📍Night Of The Swallow From 1985 "Hounds Of Love" - this album also entered straight into number 1 in the UK album chart 📍Running Up That Hill 📍Hounds Of Love 📍The Big Sky 📍Cloudbusting Released in October 1986, there were: 📍Don't Give Up - a duet with Peter Gabriel freatured on his So album 📍Experiment IV - a new track that was included in Kate's only compilation album "The Whole Story" another album that reached number 1 in the UK album chsrt. So this will take you basically halfway through Kate's discography. There are five more studio albums that follow, but I think that this will be enough to be getting on with. 😁 I'm sure that it will be a rewarding experience for you to experience other songs from Kate Bush. Have fun!
This performance's audio is the studio recording. This song was released in October 89. Maxwell's version was released in 01. This song was part of the soundtrack of the John Hughes movie She's Having A Baby released in 88.
And her studio versions are absolute fire because she is also her own producer - and a real pioneer of production. If you start down this rabbit hole, you will be swarmed with loyal Kate Bush nerds, so you might as well commit to reacting to all her big singles, from 1978-93.
Moments of Pleasure, Breathing & Deeper Understanding, just a few for your consideration, Kates a totally unique artist, & you'll enjoy delving into her back catalogue ❤
Kate Bush’s song was in the movie She’s Having A Baby. Not sure labour Maxwell’s version. She’s an amazing singer songwriter. She also self produces too. She’s so eclectic. Her history is incredible. I would try Cloudbusting, Babooshka, Breathing, Rocket’s Tail, King Of The Mountain, The Red Shoes, and the song pretty much everyone rested to after it was featured on Stranger Things, Running Up That Hill.
Hi and thanks for this. Kate Bush wrote this song specifically for a movie "She's Having A Baby" (1988). It was written to match some footage that had already been filmed, in which the hero of the movie is confronted by the possible death of his wife and unborn baby, and realizes that he has to finally grow up. Hughes had sent his Music Director, Tarquin Gotch to liaise with Kate Bush in order to get her to do the song. Gotch would later say that when Hughes finally heard the song for the first time he just said, 'Oh my God, that's brilliant' and wanted to extend the scene in order to use the entire song. Ever since then it has been used in numerous movies and TV shows including the recent Tom Hanks movie "A Man Called Otto" (2022) and the TV shows "The Handmaid's Tale" and "Our Flag Means Death" as well as several others. Speaking personally I greatly prefer the Kate Bush original to the Maxwell cover which for me personally seems very pale compared to it. As you said it in your video Kate Bush is something of a legendary singer. She is often spoken of as one of the true geniuses of popular/rock/pop music. She has fans from across just about every music genre - from classical, jazz, country, bluegrass, pop, rock, punk,, metal, R&B hip hop etc. There are many reasons for this. She is a great singer with a great voice, and she is a great songwriter as well as a great music producer, a multi instrumentalist, someone who has directed her own videos, and an artist who from very early own made sure that she owned virtually every note of her music so that she and not the record company gets the vast majority of the profits. But there is far more to her legend than just those things. There is how she did all this. Kate Bush has only ever done on proper tour. She has never performed so much as one full concert in the US. She has taken as long as 12 years between two of her albums. She writes and produces the music that she wants to make and not what the record label or the charts would demand. She is VERY experimental and takes enormous risks with her music both in the sound and in the content. Even though she has one of the truly great singing voices she often bends or distorts or muddies or uglifies her voices in order to suit a particular song - so she will sing as if she were a ghost, or sing as if she were a child, or sing with an Australian, or an Irish, or a cockney accent. She will imitate birds or have an extended part of a song where all she does is laugh into the microphone. She has songs, or important parts of songs in French, Italian, German, Latin, Irish Gaelic. She writes songs inspired by movies, or books, or famous people. She has a song about incest, pregnancy and suicide all written n the form of a suicide note. She has a song about unwittingly dancing with Hitler. She has songs about demon possession, colonialism, nuclear war, revenge murder, the afterlife. If you dig into her music you will very probably come across songs that you don't like at all - she is very experimental and her music is very diverse. But there will be times when she just leaves you open mouthed at her talent. As an easy introduction to her music you could do a lot worse than turn to "The Man With The Child In His Eyes" - a song she wrote when she was 13 and recorded when she was 16. It is very short and very sweet and beautiful. But for a 13 year old to write it defies all logic. Thanks again I really enjoyed this.
Song written composed produced by Kate Bush, whoever cover it the lion share royalties go to.... 35 years old song, used in many TV shows and films=passive income It's not Maxwell version, it's Maxwell cover
One tv show Kate’s singing of this song appeared in was season 2 of The Housemaid’s Tale when all the housemaids were lined up on the gallows for a mock hanging. It also appeared (with inappropriate placement) in the recent Tom Hanks film Otto.
Kate Bush is brilliant and very well respected. I just wished I liked her music more. Have tried but just can't get into it. I will keep trying and maybe she will grow on me 🤔 That's what I like about music reaction channels. It makes me listen to something I normally wouldn't and hopefull learn.
I think it just hits you at some point in your life. I grew up in the 80’s so had no real appreciation back then although I think I remember seeing this at the time aged 9. Around 2007 I got hold of a copy of Hounds of love and liked it but my music taste wasn’t mature enough for the 9th wave. Cut to about 4 years ago prior to RUTH on Stranger Things and I bought a vinyl copy of Hounds, wow, it just hit me like a ton of bricks at 40, I now absolutely LOVE Kate Bush and think she’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. Just give it time is what I’d say
@@boardertrashtv8638 Thanks for the encouragement, I will keep trying and maybe it will suddenly hit me, too! There is alot of music that I didn't like when I was young, but now love., so there is hope.... Howeve, at 68, I'm running out of time - LOL!!
I have no idea who Maxwell is, but I can tell you Kate Bush as with others from the same time sound exactly the same on record as live, they might change how they sing things, but back then they sang with no help from technology, this was around 1984-iah and yes I was very much around then, I'm always surprised how many people are taken aback that we actually had music in the middle of the last century
She's nailing it because it's her song.
Written, recorded, produced, sang her own backing vocals, directed and starred in her own video, plays piano (as you see here). Plus, she's a trained dancer. The whole package.
And she is gorgeous.
@@PaulHilburger Sorry. I left out the most obvious.
Also wrote the story, the music, acted and danced in her own mini movie called "The Line, The Cross, and The Curve".
@@nekoti.8-2 Yes. With Lyndsay Kemp and Miranda Richardson. Thanks for reminding me.
It’s not a Maxwell song it’s a Kate Bush song. Arguably but not in my mind the greatest female talent there’s been.
You nearly cried! i always get a tear, such a beautiful song. Her voice is incredible.

📍Sat In Your Lap
📍The Dreaming
📍Suspended In Gaffa
📍There Goes A Tenner
📍Night Of The Swallow
From 1985 "Hounds Of Love" - this album also entered straight into number 1 in the UK album chart

One thing i love about kate bush no lip fillers no plastic surgery a natural beauty women natural beauty ❤❤😮😮
The man with a child in his eyes 👌🏼 she wrote this at the age of 14. Such a brilliant singer songwriter.
Actually, when she was 13 years old which considering the song is just brilliant. Subsequently, Kate won an Ivor Novello Award for the lyrics.
Maxwell did a great cover, but this, the original, eats it for breakfast.
Oh, and she's the favorite artist of Big Boi from OutKast. He actually presented her with the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame award this past year.
And her studio versions are absolute fire because she is also her own producer - and a real pioneer of production. If you start down this rabbit hole, you will be swarmed with loyal Kate Bush nerds, so you might as well commit to reacting to all her big singles, from 1978-93.
100% !!! Her performance is haunting and stays with you, chills every time I hear it. Kate is my favourite artist of all time.
Moments of Pleasure, Breathing & Deeper Understanding, just a few for your consideration, Kates a totally unique artist, & you'll enjoy delving into her back catalogue ❤

One thing about kate bush. She borrows from nobody. You hear kate bush and everything is her.
Very talented lady.

You might like her video 'Army Dreamers'. Her official video for this song is amazing.
Absolutely Fantastic

She also produced it, shes so brillant.
React to Babooshka and listen closely to the lyrics
Kate Bush wrote the song, not Maxwell.
Beautiful voice , thank you Biz
She makes you want to protect her
It’s not a Maxwell song, Kate Bush wrote and performed this song in 1989
It's her song, dude; of course she's nailing it.
Try The Dreaming, whole album. Written and produced by Kate completely.
Hello biz, good to see you back. Try her "running up that hill" next🇭🇲
Thank you
Now I know I left way too many brain cells back in the 70s, but I could've sworn you made a video about calling it quits here on TH-cam!
The email music video i sent you was Ferlin Husky ( I feel better all Over ).
It's Kate Bush's song! She wrote and produced it and her performance is superior to Maxwell's as she created it. Maxwell himself said 'she's the bomb'
Maxwell's version was in a 2007 movie called Stomp The Yard.
@Scary__fun I think his cover was also in "Love And Basketball" but I haven't watched them.
Kate Bush is brilliant and very well respected. I just wished I liked her music more. Have tried but just can't get into it. I will keep trying and maybe she will grow on me 🤔 That's what I like about music reaction channels. It makes me listen to something I normally wouldn't and hopefull learn.

The movie was "She's having a baby" starring Kevin Bacon
In the movie "She's having a baby".
That was the studio version that Kate was lip syncing to.
“She’s Having a Baby” with Kevin Bacon.
Just finished listening to Maxwells version and it's good, very good but not as good as Kates.
Why always Maxwell? I'm sick and tired of this "reference"
i agree ...just some bloke not gd enough to come up witn a song like this , so just covered it......
Weird hearing it with a woman’s voice isn’t it 🤪… I did the same thing and you know Maxwell had to perform it for her and she was like run with it 🙏✌️
Here
from the 80s
A very young Kevin Bacon and Alec Baldwin
"She's Having A Baby" romcom it's a good movie, worth a watch.
Thanks Biz!!
Maxwells version was in The Vampire Diaries, when Anna found her mum... i prefer Kate Bush singing this song but Maxwell is a beautiful singer.
Okay! When you get one going just send it to me on here if that's alright.
Wait. I thought you left. Welcome back.
I will Never Leave
Maxwell who?
Maxwell House . . . . . . .coffee! 😊
Can we still use the same email address you had before?
I am Working on a new one
That wasn’t live by the way, amazing lip sync and she’s absolutely unmatched in the world of music but this was a lip sync on Wogan
U like Adele? Thank Kate Bush
Also running up that hill is amazing!
Kate Bush looks and sounds exactly like Cyndi Lauper. As soon as she started I thought it was Cyndi...unbelievable!
@dorathocker4575 They have their similarities. Kate was signed at 16 in 1974. A few years before Cyndi.
