For those who don’t know she was only 19 here, this was her debut song and became the first female uk single artist to have a no 1 with a self written song
Kate Bush is an actual genius. She wrote this song as a teenager (19, I think) and was writing songs at 13 that she’d record later. This song is an absolutely unique piece of music. I listen to it often.
Наверно не так , не нужно сарказма . Это хоть и маленький но не страз а алмаз на небосводе эстрады . Без таких всполохов не было видно других ярких комет эст рады . Моё мнение . Она талант и яркая звёздочка своего времени и момента . В сём добра ❤ @@haydenwalton2766
@@gaylordparis4548 welcome to my obsession lol. Check out “The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever” they hold this once a year in Melbourne Australia and other places around the world. Seeing these events is how I first got introduced to Kate Bush.
@@conorchristmas6844 I'm going to the Brisbane one. My son and daughter in law think I'm nuts. The most creatively artistic woman to have ever graced the planet. Everything about her is genuine, she is humble and befuddled by the adoration. Quite simply the best.
A mysterious song by a mysterious singer about a mysterious novel written by a mysterious author. No wonder this song gets stuck in the back of ones mind for a lifetime.
sorry but the book wich the song is referred, the novel "cime tempestose/wuthering heights" is all than mysterious,is one of the materpiece of the british literature of XIX century :)
@@marinalvahigino2736 Probablemente sea porque Kathy (el personaje que Kate interpreta) es un fantasma en el cuento en el momento de la canción. La historia corta es un poco un romance de terror.
Sometimes this song makes me cry. Especially when I feel lonely in the middle of the night. Nothing has changed. Only my age. 1978 I was 19, now I am 61
@@scandalasdog I would say Björk was the Kate Bush of her decade. I mean, KB was doing music before Björk. I love both tho, they're my favorite artists of all time.
@@scandalasdog as a kid l thought she was so weird 🤣, we just weren't ready for her, she was ahead of her time. Now in my 40's I'm mesmerised with the nostalgia and her unique ways.
I remember seeing this for the first time at seven years of age, and I've been transfixed ever since. Kate delivering for the dreamy girls everywhere ❤
I was young when this was released. It was the weird song that nobody wanted to admit they had stuck in their heads. 40 years on, and having read Wuthering Heights several times, I realise how brilliantly bonkers this song is. It's still weird, haunting and stands alone in it's own world. She was brave for even trying to rework the novel into music; to pull it off in this spectacular way is genius.
What's awesome in my opinion is that she refused to back down to the record executives especially since the music industry in the UK didn't really take female musicians seriously until after this.
Bonkers? How is it *bonkers*? Hate when people say this. IMO it's anything but *bonkers*. It is, in actual fact, spot on. Rather reductive of you to claim it's *bonkers*. Had you , in fact, read the book,as you say you did... you'd surely know that that is a ridiculous claim. Though oddly KB hadn't even read the book herself at the point she wrote this. Yet she captured the atmosphere perfectly.
Bonjour Kate, vous êtes juste splendide, tout est beau chez vous,si bien que je montre à mes petits enfants qu'il existe des artistes qui peuvent nous faire rêver en chantant et dansant comme vous savez si bien le faire , merci pour ça ❤
@@eldesgraciado6690Oh, but I don't need to. The number of hands up clearly shows that there's nothing cringy about my comment. I'm sorry you got a wrong impression that your comment disturbed me in any way.
The beauty of Wuthering Heights is almost unbearable. She’s just a teenager, with that one in a billion voice and her songwriting genius. Kate Bush, waving hello to the world in 1978 - and still enchanting new generations. Incredibly brave, unique, beautiful and musically advanced at the age of 19. Unbelievable.
I'm 44, my daughter is 17. She heard one of Kate's songs on my playlists and immediately knew who she was. Thanks to Spotify, there's an awesome musical bridge between our generations.
Your life is about to change forever. I was also taken aback by this revelation. This song was a significant part of my childhood, and as someone who wasn't a English speaker, I couldn't comprehend the lyrics back then.
@@Sergiofreitas5Same!!! I loved the song as a 4 year old but didn't speak English. As a teenager I probably read WH for 10 or more times. I was in other musical waters. At 49 I realised that this song was actually Cathy singing. Made by a teen almost and in a genius way. With incredible feelings that no one who's covering it somehow doesn't dig but just goes for the high pitched voice. This is a dream come true. Top book plus top composition.
I am a 64 year old male. I know why this song chokes me up. I miss my sister who passed suddenly from this sad and beautiful world. Love to those who know.
A musical genius, she is. Creating a beautiful song out of a nightmare episode in a 19th century novel was already a peculiarly brave adventure, but insisting against her producers' opinion to make a single out of it shows unprecedented character and bravery. And now it's a worldwide trend with thousands of fans 😆 Well done Kate!
Surrealists rejoice! Bizarre in the best way possible. This video has it all: unusual chord progressions, 19th century gothic literature, moody anachronistic interpretive dance, a garishly red Stevie Nicks (gauzy) dress completely out of place in a dreary English landscape, a hauntingly shrill voice, catchy melodic hooks, electric guitar, grand piano, and orchestral strings...
Emily Bronte was very young when she wrote the novel - she died of tuberculosis (the great pandemic of the 19th century) at 30, and the novel was only published the year before - under a male name as it was nearly impossible to publish as a woman - but she had written it years earlier. She’d been writing all her life, as had her sisters. The novel is elemental. It’s brilliant. Cathy to Heathcliff: You have broken my heart. Heathcliff: I have not broken your heart. You have broken it. And in breaking it, you have broken mine.
ah very well said, and that is an epic quote. i read wuthering heights in a lit class and lawdy what a ride. one of my all time favorite reads. cheers.
Bruno Rodríguez Well, not strictly an epidemic, but certainly pervasive and endemic. It is estimated it killed about 50% of all people who died between the ages of 18 and 35 in the 19th century (based on autopsy reports), when the death rate was astonishingly high by today’s standards, especially in cities. Most diseases of the time killed quickly, but consumption took its time. Its cause was not identified until late in the century. Charlotte Bronte wrote that Emily spent years working on Wuthering Heights, completing it to her satisfaction in 1846 (possibly because she knew she was nearing death). She is without a doubt, to my mind, the most brilliant and talented of the Brontes, and her novel one of the greatest ever written in the English language. That’s my position, 1, 2, 3, and I’m sticking to it.
We played this song at the funeral for our beloved father who passed away in 2015. He loved this song dearly, and it had a huge impact on my childhood. I still love it today.
This song bewitched me. I went and read Wuthering Heights because I wanted to know the inspiration for the song. Then I fell in love with the book. Now when I hear this song, I know exactly what's happening and it sends chills down my spine. It's quite amazing how such a short song can capture the spirit of such a complex book. It's as if she really was channelling Emily Bronte when she wrote this.
@@katebushmusic8460 Wow. Thankyou for replying. You cannot know how happy that made me feel. Such a small gesture for such a large impact. Merci beaucoup 🌹🌷🌺🌸🏵️🌻
I was a little girl when first hearing this. My father played this daily so it always stayed with me. I was extremely lucky that as a child I only lived 20 mins from the Brontie family home. Many times I walked around the house / museum where everything was as it should be from that time and place. I recall vividly the large Black and White image of Emily Brontie, at the bottom of the stairs, it always fascinated me, there was something very spiritual about it.
For the longest time this was the only song from hers I knew that I really liked I don't know why I waited this long to check more of her stuff out but after hearing running up that hill I decided to listen to more of her stuff and I love it! I'm glad they featured her music in the show.
When she was asked about the pitch of her voice she explained she is playing a character named kathy who is a ghost coming home. Makes it more special knowing this
I don't know well enough to argue the point but she's the same age as me and I remember listening to this song most mornings before going to school when I was 15. She wrote Man With A Child In His Eyes before Wuthering Heights. Others too but they never made it to the charts.
At the age of 13, on our first colour tv, I first laid eyes on this poetic angel, I was mesmerized , I felt like crying , the mind blowing power and beauty of this performance was a master piece ,that day my whole world opened up to my emotions ,bless you Kate so talented and so glad I grew up with the ability to have you make me feel alive.
You have no idea how much I relate to your story. I was 12, when I first heard her voice on the radio in 1982 and it opened up an entirely new world to me. This very song, this outstanding woman have remained my favorites ever since and this song shall be played at my funeral. I was absolutely blessed to have seen her perform in 2014 - in two days, it will be 10 years. One of the most fantastic days of my life.
I am 60year old Afro American WOMAN 💋 💋 💋 💋 and low and behold I am finding out about Ms Kate Bush in the year 2024♥️❤️❤️♥️and I found out Miss Kate Bush was 65 just a few years older than me....So glad that I am now familiar with her existence here in earth and what she means to all the fans near and far and around the globe....i This amazing talented singer and performer been around since I'm not sure just when I'm guessing since the seventies so glad the Rock and Roll hall of Fame academy acknowledged Miss Kate Bush and inducted her I'll never forget the day when I saw Kate Bush for the first time in all my life and surely I thank God that St Vincent introduced me to this amazing woman ❤️♥️♥️miss Kate Bush and her catalog of hits and legions of fans all around the globe ❤❤❤so proud too say i am now a fan of Kate's songs this song is absolutely favorites of mines 💫🌟⭐☀️ so beautifully composed and well written and i absolutely love it oh my god 😘it's absolutely wonderful touches me GREATLY ❤️ honestly makes me teary eyed 😢
Welcome to the group Suri-A. Keying in "Kate Bush Day" in a search engine will yield a lot of links of people in long red dresses, dancing to this tune. It's been held annually in the US, UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand . . . since 2016. This is also long before she got rediscovered by Stranger Things fans. I've got to plan to go to one of these flash mobs and dance along with them - in red. 🙂
@@GarthPrice-ej6bt heah thanks a million for sharing commentary about the incomparable Miss Kate Bush so glad I found out about her I really enjoy all the songs and videos I've seen and heard so far..I plan to pay a visit to Amoeba Records here in Los Angeles California I plan to purchase as many albums by Kate Bush that I possibly can she is a phenomenal powerhouse of a vocalist ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Some of her songs still make me teary eyed (as a 55 year old dude). My parents gave me The Kick Inside as a Christmas present in 79 and I was enthralled. Such an unusual and innovative songwriter, who has kept me fascinated with each of her albums. If I were offered the opportunity to have lunch (or drinks) with anyone at all, I’d probably pick her.
Approaching Christmas, 2021, and after a very bad year, my daughter and I both needed a dose of Kate to keep us standing upright. It made me so happy to read that so many others out there are also listening. Cheers everyone!
Imagine being a session musician on this. You show up to the studio and are told you’re going to be backing some 19-year-old pop singer. GROAN. Then you start playing and within seconds realize that in fact you’re playing with a once-in-a-century genius. A Beethoven. Wild shit, truly.
Weird the way she stopped singing and went into super hermit mode properly seen enough what what happens in the music industry and all the shannagans and thought nah I don't want anymore of that..
Kate Bush is a phenomenon that we can only admire and never fully understand. The level of originality, expression and grace all combined with a perfect vocal technic and perfection of movements just leaves us speechless and mesmerized every time we listen and look to her. An artist in all is dimensions.
This is an absolute master piece, unbelievable, eerie, mesmerizing, beautiful and captivating, and much much more. The talent of this girl was otherworldly
I truly believe this to be one of the greatest songs ever written. Also that solo at the end! The way the orchestration weaves around the guitar solo makes those last few moments one of the most stunning and moving pieces of music ever recorded.
She was my first crush and I was about 9 lol, I've told my wife that this is to be played at my funeral. I've loved this song from the first time I heard it.
@Floyd1504 was he? that's very interesting. As a huge fan of Floyd. I used to be a regular on the South West free party scene. I started having a bit of a fling for a few weeks with a giirl called "India" a friend said to me "You know India is a Daughter of one of the members of Pink Floyd?" I replied straight away "Roger Waters" as she has that very distinctive face shape(she never told who her father was) . It sure was. We stayed friends for a long while after. She was/is very down to earth. I have worked. In the music industry all my life and met and worked for some very famous bands some real ego centric individuals but Roger and India were/are very down to earth.
@Floyd1504 Gilmour was a friend of the family who arranged for her to record a demo and helped get her a record deal, but he doesn’t play on this record.
This song was so far ahead of its time. Its vocal brilliance is astounding, its put together perfectly, and it's beautifully haunting at the same time. One of the most unique songs ever but if I was putting a top 50 list together, this would be on it
A common phrase '' ahead of its time'' , but it implies that, like technology does, music gets better during the decades. I challenge that idea wholeheartedly. However , I agree with the sentiment that its a great song!

@@MrPowerclown If the lyrics are off...I'm not to blame.. i got the .lyrics from what I thought was a reliable source...The lyrics have come from one of these lyric providers from a search...... I thought they did their homework...maybe not
What is really impressive is that she just shines, everything she does is magic- not like Queen, and I mean not like the Sting song it's just a privilege to watch her do a kind of magic. Half her talent and everyone would well - the less said about wanting to rule the world the better I think Tears For Fears covered that. :P
Serene, pristine and deranged, nobody should underestimate quite how shocking it was when the teenaged Bush emerged to the world with this haunting piano melodrama of her own creation. Casting herself as tragic heroine Cathy from Emily Bronte’s gothic romance, perhaps the reason so few pop songs are based on classic novels is that they’d have to live up to this.
I think the real reason they are not based on classic novels is that the song would never be commented on except by people trying to show the veneer of a soul when the song really should burn om the seventh plane of hell and be forgotten
@@ivegonehollow9364 bro why are you so mad, like maybe you don’t like it which is fine I guess it’s not for everyone and it’s understandable that a lot of people don’t like Kate Bush’s high pitched voice but a lot of people do like this song. Expressing your opinion about it is fine I just don’t see where the need for delivering vitriolic replies to every single comment praising this song comes from
@@doormantdarner7815 I said I understood everyone's has different taste but I seriously thought it was an snl skit no harm meant I honestly thought the video was a skit
@@ivegonehollow9364 no I’ve seen your other replies you talk about how much the song makes you want to kill yourself and how it belongs in the seventh circle of hell. Although there were SNL skits and daytime tv programmes that made fun of Kate Bush for how she acted in her music videos I literally don’t get what you’re going for here nothing in this video suggests it’s a skit I mean it’s on the official channel and it’s listed as the music video for this song. It’s okay if you were having a bad day and just really wanted to take it out on this song which is fine and everyone takes it out on something, at least on a song it’s harmless but idk maybe you should try more of her music you might enjoy it just to sort of stop and smell the flowers.
When you get older, you really appreciate the talent of somebody just 19 years old. It takes a lot of guts to get out there and put your life in front of everybody. I bet she choreographed that herself too, it's actually quite well done considering it was probably her and some guy with a camcorder. There's another video version with similar dancing, I really like the way she combined ballet with a little modern dance.
Tbh, I kind of feel the opposite. When you're young you don't know anything about the world and (generally speaking) have fewer fears and anxieties. You just go out there and perform, and everyone around you celebrates you and encourages you. When you got older, people have totally different expectations, and you're also typically more concerned with what everyone thinks of you. Now I'm in my 30s I have a huge amount of respect for people who come out of their shells at older ages.
Lyrics: Out on the wily, windy moors We'd roll and fall in green You had a temper like my jealousy Too hot, too greedy How could you leave me When I needed to possess you? I hated you, I loved you, too Bad dreams in the night They told me I was going to lose the fight Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering Wuthering Heights Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy I've come home, I'm so cold Let me in your window Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy I've come home, I'm so cold Let me in your window Ooh, it gets dark, it gets lonely On the other side from you I pine a lot, I find the lot Falls through without you I'm coming back love Cruel Heathcliff, my one dream My only master Too long I roam in the night I'm coming back to his side, to put it right I'm coming home to wuthering, wuthering Wuthering Heights Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy I've come home, I'm so cold Let me in your window Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy I've come home, I'm so cold Let me in your window Ooh, let me have it Let me grab your soul away Ooh, let me have it Let me grab your soul away You know it's me, Cathy Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy I've come home, I'm so cold Let me in your window Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy I've come home, I'm so cold Let me in your window Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy I've come home, I'm so cold
This song evokes such a harrowing melancholy in me, especially the guitar solo in the end: it weeps in yearning, longing, grief. Cathy and Heathcliff's love was so complicated, nasty, and toxic, and I find it so relatable to me and the love that suffered me a lot.
Isn't weird every now and then a song just gets in our heads ...I heard this for the first time today 3/26/24 can't stop listening to it ....I got a taste of it today from a top ten list of 1978 and heard a little ...so looked it up...amazing
I am old enough to have read the book and seen a few different versions of Wuthering Heights. Had never heard of Kate Bush in my life and certainly not this song. It just popped up when I was searching TH-cam. It touched my heart and soul in a way I cannot express. I listen to it with the lyrics. I think it is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard - plus knowing what the lyrics are referring to. Cathy is a ghost.
@@buttslayer7492 Lol, I was about 15 as well when I read it. I am now 68. Just reread it. A completely different story to me at 68 compared to me as a somewhat clueless 15 year old ( I am referring to myself ).

I was a kid in high school when one of my classmates made us listen to this song during class. We immediately laughed our asses off, those dance moves were so goofy to us and the high pitch hilarious. Truth is that I was actually impressed by this song and when I came home I played it over and over again. It was like nothing I heard before in music. I couldn't stop listening to it and still now, after 6 years, it's one of my all time favourite songs.
What's even worse is he didn't acknowledge how wrong it was that he burst out laughing. Sent him home feeling like crap after sharing his vulnerability and then you go home and vibe to it?!?! I'd punch you in the face if I could lmao
I was about 12 years old when I saw her for the first time in tv. I realized there are things above the Bay City Rollers, Bee Gees and all the stuff I heard in my childhood. I just was sitting there, stunning, with my chin on my knees. Thank you so much Kate.❤
My dad introduced me to this song. Then I didn't understood anything and her voice kinda annoyed me. Years after I read wuthering heights and now am just speechless how she summerized this book so well in a quite short song. Everything about this song just matches so well! Sometimes you need time to appreciate and understand things...
In fact, the song is just the about the first scene of the book , the first 50 pages, when Lockwood visits Heathcliff and in a dream hears and touches Cathy’s ghost. No way all book is summerized in the lyrics here. The first problem in saying that the book is summerized in the song is Wuthering Heights is not just Heathcliff + Catherine history, this is just a part of all.
I listen to this song today for the first time and it's such a masterpiece, such a vibe. I'm happy for all the people who listen to this as a child/teen.
@SPatrick she was actually 10!!!!! We've never seen talent like this a song!?!?!?! Are you serious she wrote this and also is a women it's crazy!?!?!?!
This is 100% pure TALENT from the lovely Kate Bush. And this is how far we have fallen on "talent" in 35 years. I mean get this. Modern music critics keep comparing that horrible "Let It Go" song from the 2013 Disney film "Frozen" (sung by Demi Lovato - who was 21 - three years older than Kate was when she wrote and recorded "Wuthering Heights") to this beautiful masterpiece, which was NOT even a big hit here in the States (it was tabbed one of the top hits of the 1970's in Kate's native UK.) This comparison is highly laughable, given the FACT that Demi did NOT even write that damned song (several people, including that talentless hack Diane Warren, had a hand in writing that atrocity,) whereas OTOH, Kate wrote this song at age 18, unassisted. I'd really like to see a so-called "talent" from today like Demi even try to attempt singing "Wuthering Heights" or "Don't Give Up" (Kate's lovely duet with Peter Gabriel from his "So" album.) I bet she could NOT do it. That goofball Simon Cowell apparently hates "Wuthering Heights" so much that he will NOT even allow contestants on the talent shows he judges to sing the song as an intro audition. It just shows that today's so-called music experts do NOT know what talent is anymore. Demi Lovato? Give me a damned break!! Kate wins easily!!
I remember my dad would always put this song on just after dinner if he was in a good mood, and he didnt have work that night (he did the 9pm - 5am, for 20+ years, poor guy) - and he always gushed about how brilliant Kate Bush was. How ahead of her time she was. And I love my dad dearly, but he never was someone who would read into stuff like *that* all that much. He loved his music, and could analyse it, break down what made him love it (he was a drummer in his youth) but he never talked about the prowess of the craft as much as he did about Kate Bush. For all my life, he has always told me that Kate Bush was one of the best artists of all time, because of her genius, and how she wasn't afraid to be different - she had a different take on the music world and knew how to express herself, all the while making you interested in what she's doing, with a brilliant song writing sense and amazing voice to boot. He's always said she had the best singing voice of all time! My dads words, but I've learned to appreciate them; and he's right, there is a brilliance in Kate Bush. I've been a fan since I was maybe 15 (I'm 28 now, agh!) and my dads words ring true. He's a lot like her. Passion is contagious. She's so passionate about her music, and it's easily seen by the right people, and they just so happen to pass that on to their daughters... I truly do love this song. :)
I found this song during end of 2020.The feeling i had when i listned to this at first was not something i can describe, it felt really unique from what i have heard
I loved Wuthering Heights. Read it many times and it made me cry each time. When I heard this song the very first time I instantly fell in love with this song. How beautifully Kate Bush has portrayed Cathy. Listening to this song still gives me goosebumps even after all these years
This song effects me emotionally. Every time I listen to it. Hard to explain exactly how. Saying it gives me goosebumps is only part of it. It's like I'm Heathcliff and Cathy is at my window. This song is that powerful.
After reading up a bit on the novel of the same title this song is based upon... yeah, you really don't want to be Heathcliff in this situation mate. That said, it did give the song another layer of emotional weight
Dissapearing and reapearing off and on. One moment she waves in front of your nose the next she's waving twenty feet to your right and after that you find yourself on the floor because she's waving where you just stood looking annoyed because you took precious waving space away.
There is something about Kate Bush that makes my emotions rise to the surface. She draws them out till I almost weep. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's just being in the presence of such genius gives me hope in the world again.
She's certainly one of the most unique and creative women in the history of music and she wrote and produced every one of her songs unbelievable talent and the fact she was doing all that in the 1970s and 1980s is more impressive for me she's one of the great talents of the last 50 years
My mum told me she wants this as her funeral song. She’s always been a huge Kate Bush fan. Makes me feel emotional now when I listen to this song knowing that it will eventually be my mums funeral song. Love you ma❤️
Did she fall in love with a tall dark and handsome foreigner who worked for your dad as kids and was made fun of and ledt ad came back a rich man and got revenge on your family Lol thats the story. Thwybwere forbidden love
Thanks that’s very touching. I’m 64 but with my luck am probably halfway til they play whatever swan song I decide fits the moment. I can see why your mum chooses this one. I’ve got it penciled in too.
Kate SURE Is... And her Songwriting and Storytelling seem to encourage us to Reflect Back on the moments we First Heard her FABULOUS Music, too! So DESERVING to be Inducted into the RRHOF!!!
Murilo Herik Kate studied Karate in her youth, if you watch closely you can see that influence in her dancing. Kate was never trained in dancing, she just adapted her known Karate kata to suit. Lol, still a beautiful woman and for me even more appealing knowing she could kick ass.
That explains how when I first heard it I thought it was the weirdest thing I’d ever heard but now I can’t stop listening to it. Even if I wanted to. It’s repeating in my head nonstop...
It's 2024 and this is one of best songs i've ever heard. I'm only 18 and heard the end of the song on the radio and I thought i've gotta know what this song is. I found it and it's an absolute masterpiece! I even started to look up what the meaning behind it is and watching the interviews she gave about it. Absolutely incredible! Who's still here in 2024?
I am here and I am 54. Been a Kate Bush listener since 1985. I particularly adore this song - you have great taste in music! You may want to even read Wuthering Heights.
I'm 16, and I've known this song as long as I can remember because my mom loves Kate Bush, and being a huuuge fan of music from the 60s-80s, I can confidently say this is one of my favorite songs of all time.
For those who don’t know she was only 19 here, this was her debut song and became the first female uk single artist to have a no 1 with a self written song
Knew that.
She should also be awarded for the choreography/dancing as well, ha ha ha.
Hello 👋
How are you doing today?

Kate Bush is an actual genius. She wrote this song as a teenager (19, I think) and was writing songs at 13 that she’d record later. This song is an absolutely unique piece of music. I listen to it often.
you know someone is a real talent when all they need is a red dress, a field and a bloody camera
Наверно не так , не нужно сарказма . Это хоть и маленький но не страз а алмаз на небосводе эстрады . Без таких всполохов не было видно других ярких комет эст рады . Моё мнение . Она талант и яркая звёздочка своего времени и момента . В сём добра ❤ @@haydenwalton2766

Quite simply the best.
A mysterious song by a mysterious singer about a mysterious novel written by a mysterious author. No wonder this song gets stuck in the back of ones mind for a lifetime.
E música parece sempre nos filmes de terror 😮
O Morro dos Ventos Uivantes, Emily Brontë. Literalmente uma música sobre Heathcliff e Catherine.
sorry but the book wich the song is referred, the novel "cime tempestose/wuthering heights" is all than mysterious,is one of the materpiece of the british literature of XIX century :)
🙈🫣
@@marinalvahigino2736 Probablemente sea porque Kathy (el personaje que Kate interpreta) es un fantasma en el cuento en el momento de la canción. La historia corta es un poco un romance de terror.
Sometimes this song makes me cry. Especially when I feel lonely in the middle of the night. Nothing has changed. Only my age. 1978 I was 19, now I am 61

Kate Bush Wuthering Heights is one of my unheard and personal favorite song
One of my few hobbies is playing Wuthering Heights to people who've never heard of it... 42 YEARS later and it's *still* REVOLUTIONARY

It’s become popular on TikTok!
She was so ahead of her time!!! And she still is!
I try and there’s such mixed reactions and I’m over there vibing hard af without a care

After all these years Kate Bush is still an enigma ... talented beyond description ... a true artist that never compromises her art ...
Yep, she was the "Bjork" of her decade.
@@scandalasdog I would say Björk was the Kate Bush of her decade. I mean, KB was doing music before Björk. I love both tho, they're my favorite artists of all time.

Haven’t heard it in year’s but the goosebumps always come straight away!!🥰
Oh my goodness
Here to, each time over and over
It does that every time.
👍👍👍
I remember seeing this for the first time at seven years of age, and I've been transfixed ever since. Kate delivering for the dreamy girls everywhere ❤

Merveilleuse artiste 😍😍😍😍
She's portraying a ghost that comes back to life and steals her lover
I was young when this was released. It was the weird song that nobody wanted to admit they had stuck in their heads.
40 years on, and having read Wuthering Heights several times, I realise how brilliantly bonkers this song is. It's still weird, haunting and stands alone in it's own world. She was brave for even trying to rework the novel into music; to pull it off in this spectacular way is genius.
Yes this song is haunting. It is so bad it haunts me every night in my sleep
What's awesome in my opinion is that she refused to back down to the record executives especially since the music industry in the UK didn't really take female musicians seriously until after this.
@@ivegonehollow9364 Sorry! I'll find someone else to play with at night
@@BoudicaJ Dude.. Bonkers isnt used in an insulting way in the comment. its just another way of saying crazy/amazing/mind blowing
Bonkers? How is it *bonkers*?
Hate when people say this.
IMO it's anything but *bonkers*.
It is, in actual fact, spot on.
Rather reductive of you to claim it's *bonkers*. Had you , in fact, read the book,as you say you did... you'd surely know that that is a ridiculous claim.
Though oddly KB hadn't even read the book herself at the point she wrote this. Yet she captured the atmosphere perfectly.
I was 17 in 1978, and now I'll be 63 in less than a month. Every time I hear this song, I'm transported back to my youth.
Same, blew my little mind.🌻
Bonjour Kate, vous êtes juste splendide, tout est beau chez vous,si bien que je montre à mes petits enfants qu'il existe des artistes qui peuvent nous faire rêver en chantant et dansant comme vous savez si bien le faire , merci pour ça ❤

The beauty of Wuthering Heights is almost unbearable. She’s just a teenager, with that one in a billion voice and her songwriting genius. Kate Bush, waving hello to the world in 1978 - and still enchanting new generations. Incredibly brave, unique, beautiful and musically advanced at the age of 19. Unbelievable.
One-in-a-million voice + multidisciplinary artistic genius= one-of-a-kind

I'm 55 , so I was about 15 when she started out, so innovative.
Me too. Thanks to spotify 70s Playlist I found this artist
It has been 45 years years and I finally understand that Kate is singing from the perspective of a heartbroken ghost.
She’s Cathy! From the book! It’s fantastic!
Your life is about to change forever. I was also taken aback by this revelation. This song was a significant part of my childhood, and as someone who wasn't a English speaker, I couldn't comprehend the lyrics back then.
@@Sergiofreitas5Same!!! I loved the song as a 4 year old but didn't speak English.
As a teenager I probably read WH for 10 or more times.
I was in other musical waters.
At 49 I realised that this song was actually Cathy singing. Made by a teen almost and in a genius way. With incredible feelings that no one who's covering it somehow doesn't dig but just goes for the high pitched voice.
This is a dream come true. Top book plus top composition.

@@orangepulp392 this is a right we have from birth! No one should apologize for being himself! She is perfectly normal
A musical genius, she is. Creating a beautiful song out of a nightmare episode in a 19th century novel was already a peculiarly brave adventure, but insisting against her producers' opinion to make a single out of it shows unprecedented character and bravery. And now it's a worldwide trend with thousands of fans 😆
Well done Kate!
The label EMI and not the producer of the album who was Andrew Powell
😂
And at 19 years old too. She’s so incredibly talented and smart
Surrealists rejoice! Bizarre in the best way possible. This video has it all: unusual chord progressions, 19th century gothic literature, moody anachronistic interpretive dance, a garishly red Stevie Nicks (gauzy) dress completely out of place in a dreary English landscape, a hauntingly shrill voice, catchy melodic hooks, electric guitar, grand piano, and orchestral strings...
@@mikustannie3953 Yep, it's impressive to have that confidence and independence of mind when one is barely an adult.
Emily Bronte was very young when she wrote the novel - she died of tuberculosis (the great pandemic of the 19th century) at 30, and the novel was only published the year before - under a male name as it was nearly impossible to publish as a woman - but she had written it years earlier. She’d been writing all her life, as had her sisters. The novel is elemental. It’s brilliant.
Cathy to Heathcliff: You have broken my heart.
Heathcliff: I have not broken your heart. You have broken it. And in breaking it, you have broken mine.
ah very well said, and that is an epic quote. i read wuthering heights in a lit class and lawdy what a ride. one of my all time favorite reads. cheers.
1. Tuberculosis is not even a pandemic
2. The novel was written in 1846 and published in 1847
3. The novel is perfect
Bruno Rodríguez Well, not strictly an epidemic, but certainly pervasive and endemic. It is estimated it killed about 50% of all people who died between the ages of 18 and 35 in the 19th century (based on autopsy reports), when the death rate was astonishingly high by today’s standards, especially in cities. Most diseases of the time killed quickly, but consumption took its time. Its cause was not identified until late in the century. Charlotte Bronte wrote that Emily spent years working on Wuthering Heights, completing it to her satisfaction in 1846 (possibly because she knew she was nearing death). She is without a doubt, to my mind, the most brilliant and talented of the Brontes, and her novel one of the greatest ever written in the English language. That’s my position, 1, 2, 3, and I’m sticking to it.

This song bewitched me. I went and read Wuthering Heights because I wanted to know the inspiration for the song. Then I fell in love with the book. Now when I hear this song, I know exactly what's happening and it sends chills down my spine. It's quite amazing how such a short song can capture the spirit of such a complex book. It's as if she really was channelling Emily Bronte when she wrote this.

“ Sends chills down my spine “ - for me, I feel an ache inside.
How many songs can do that to a person?
@@katebushmusic8460 get off of here
I was a little girl when first hearing this. My father played this daily so it always stayed with me. I was extremely lucky that as a child I only lived 20 mins from the Brontie family home. Many times I walked around the house / museum where everything was as it should be from that time and place. I recall vividly the large Black and White image of Emily Brontie, at the bottom of the stairs, it always fascinated me, there was something very spiritual about it.

Thank you Stranger Things for introducing me to her!
For the longest time this was the only song from hers I knew that I really liked I don't know why I waited this long to check more of her stuff out but after hearing running up that hill I decided to listen to more of her stuff and I love it! I'm glad they featured her music in the show.
🤣
I’ve known about her for years but I’m only now starting to actually enjoy her music .best decision ever.
I fell in love with this song with Pat Benatar singing it. I kept seeing the video never clicked on it, mode that I have it's so pure
When she was asked about the pitch of her voice she explained she is playing a character named kathy who is a ghost coming home. Makes it more special knowing this
Evidently- she wrote a song in the voice of the female main protagonist, Cathy Earnshaw, of the book Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë.
Cathy let me in at your window - better still leave it open and I will sneak in and practice my under cover work - under the covers
It’s a book

actually, most songs of the first album were written when she was 12-15, so this one might be one of those

I don't know well enough to argue the point but she's the same age as me and I remember listening to this song most mornings before going to school when I was 15. She wrote Man With A Child In His Eyes before Wuthering Heights. Others too but they never made it to the charts.
I'm glad people are rediscovering kate bush and understanding how wonderful she is.
At the age of 13, on our first colour tv, I first laid eyes on this poetic angel, I was mesmerized , I felt like crying , the mind blowing power and beauty of this performance was a master piece ,that day my whole world opened up to my emotions ,bless you Kate so talented and so glad I grew up with the ability to have you make me feel alive.
You have no idea how much I relate to your story. I was 12, when I first heard her voice on the radio in 1982 and it opened up an entirely new world to me. This very song, this outstanding woman have remained my favorites ever since and this song shall be played at my funeral. I was absolutely blessed to have seen her perform in 2014 - in two days, it will be 10 years. One of the most fantastic days of my life.

Some of her songs still make me teary eyed (as a 55 year old dude). My parents gave me The Kick Inside as a Christmas present in 79 and I was enthralled. Such an unusual and innovative songwriter, who has kept me fascinated with each of her albums. If I were offered the opportunity to have lunch (or drinks) with anyone at all, I’d probably pick her.
Approaching Christmas, 2021, and after a very bad year, my daughter and I both needed a dose of Kate to keep us standing upright. It made me so happy to read that so many others out there are also listening. Cheers everyone!
Happy Christmas !
Merry Christmas and best wishes ! I hope things get better for you both 💛💛

Hey .top
None of them were in the best of health, they probably would have died in shock.
Can you imagine showing this to Heathcliff though

No gimmicks no big production no ghost writing just a 19 year old girl with one stunning voice and one epic song
@Floyd1504 was he? that's very interesting. As a huge fan of Floyd. I used to be a regular on the South West free party scene. I started having a bit of a fling for a few weeks with a giirl called "India" a friend said to me "You know India is a Daughter of one of the members of Pink Floyd?" I replied straight away "Roger Waters" as she has that very distinctive face shape(she never told who her father was) . It sure was. We stayed friends for a long while after. She was/is very down to earth. I have worked. In the music industry all my life and met and worked for some very famous bands some real ego centric individuals but Roger and India were/are very down to earth.
@Floyd1504 Gilmour was a friend of the family who arranged for her to record a demo and helped get her a record deal, but he doesn’t play on this record.
What you see is what you get no made up voice or anything still amazing
@ponponbeats He didn’t arrange it. He had no involvement in the record. He just helped Bush get her record contract in the first place.
100% correct - now days they have the technology but have lost the art.
This song was so far ahead of its time. Its vocal brilliance is astounding, its put together perfectly, and it's beautifully haunting at the same time. One of the most unique songs ever but if I was putting a top 50 list together, this would be on it

A common phrase '' ahead of its time'' , but it implies that, like technology does, music gets better during the decades. I challenge that idea wholeheartedly. However , I agree with the sentiment that its a great song!
Music theory behind the song is even more brilliant
[Verse 1]
Out on the wiley, windy moors
We'd roll and fall in green
You had a temper like my jealousy
Too hot, too greedy
How could you leave me
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you, I loved you too
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Bad dreams in the night
They told me I was going to lose the fight
Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights
[Chorus]
Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy
Come home, I'm so cold
Let me in-a-your window
Heathcliff, it's me, Cathy
Come home, I'm so cold
Let me in-a-your window
[Verse 2]
Ooh, it gets dark, it gets lonely
On the other side from you
I pine a lot, I find the lot
Falls through without you
I'm coming back, love, cruel Heathcliff
My one dream, my only master
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Too long I roam in the night
I'm coming back to his side to put it right
I'm coming home to wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights

Come home, I'm so cold
Let me in-a-your window

Come home, I'm so cold

@Maya Morton I think you missed the comment I replied to, there was a fake Kate bush account lol
If you have the talent it's not so hard.
What is really impressive is that she just shines, everything she does is magic- not like Queen, and I mean not like the Sting song it's just a privilege to watch her do a kind of magic. Half her talent and everyone would well - the less said about wanting to rule the world the better I think Tears For Fears covered that. :P
The amount of serotonin this video gives me is incredible
Same
💯
I return here every so often, to practice the dance routine. Gotta make sure I can remember, just in case I ever need it.
Good idea
Same. Just in case I ever wind up in a forest all alone.
@@arneboom You never know
@@arneboom Lol. Being alone in a forest and not dancing like this would be deeply inappropriate.
@@tomcutts9200 I think you'll end up in jail if the feds found out you don't
Musical, theatre, drama, sex appeal. The one and only Kate Bush. Thank you for over forty years of pure pleasure. 🥰
Serene, pristine and deranged, nobody should underestimate quite how shocking it was when the teenaged Bush emerged to the world with this haunting piano melodrama of her own creation. Casting herself as tragic heroine Cathy from Emily Bronte’s gothic romance, perhaps the reason so few pop songs are based on classic novels is that they’d have to live up to this.
I think the real reason they are not based on classic novels is that the song would never be commented on except by people trying to show the veneer of a soul when the song really should burn om the seventh plane of hell and be forgotten
@@ivegonehollow9364 bro why are you so mad, like maybe you don’t like it which is fine I guess it’s not for everyone and it’s understandable that a lot of people don’t like Kate Bush’s high pitched voice but a lot of people do like this song. Expressing your opinion about it is fine I just don’t see where the need for delivering vitriolic replies to every single comment praising this song comes from
@@doormantdarner7815 I said I understood everyone's has different taste but I seriously thought it was an snl skit no harm meant I honestly thought the video was a skit
@@ivegonehollow9364 no I’ve seen your other replies you talk about how much the song makes you want to kill yourself and how it belongs in the seventh circle of hell. Although there were SNL skits and daytime tv programmes that made fun of Kate Bush for how she acted in her music videos I literally don’t get what you’re going for here nothing in this video suggests it’s a skit I mean it’s on the official channel and it’s listed as the music video for this song. It’s okay if you were having a bad day and just really wanted to take it out on this song which is fine and everyone takes it out on something, at least on a song it’s harmless but idk maybe you should try more of her music you might enjoy it just to sort of stop and smell the flowers.
add solar power and ur statement represents lorde's discography
When you get older, you really appreciate the talent of somebody just 19 years old. It takes a lot of guts to get out there and put your life in front of everybody. I bet she choreographed that herself too, it's actually quite well done considering it was probably her and some guy with a camcorder.
There's another video version with similar dancing, I really like the way she combined ballet with a little modern dance.
She's not just a musician but a performance artist too who accidentally became an 80s pop star.
She spent all of the advance from her first album on dance lessons.
Her Mother was an Irish dancer, probably inherited.
Watch RUNNING UP THAT HILL 80s video from her
Tbh, I kind of feel the opposite. When you're young you don't know anything about the world and (generally speaking) have fewer fears and anxieties. You just go out there and perform, and everyone around you celebrates you and encourages you. When you got older, people have totally different expectations, and you're also typically more concerned with what everyone thinks of you. Now I'm in my 30s I have a huge amount of respect for people who come out of their shells at older ages.
Lyrics:
Out on the wily, windy moors
We'd roll and fall in green
You had a temper like my jealousy
Too hot, too greedy
How could you leave me
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you, I loved you, too
Bad dreams in the night
They told me I was going to lose the fight
Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy
I've come home, I'm so cold
Let me in your window
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy
I've come home, I'm so cold
Let me in your window
Ooh, it gets dark, it gets lonely
On the other side from you
I pine a lot, I find the lot
Falls through without you
I'm coming back love
Cruel Heathcliff, my one dream
My only master
Too long I roam in the night
I'm coming back to his side, to put it right
I'm coming home to wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy
I've come home, I'm so cold
Let me in your window
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy
I've come home, I'm so cold
Let me in your window
Ooh, let me have it
Let me grab your soul away
Ooh, let me have it
Let me grab your soul away
You know it's me, Cathy
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy
I've come home, I'm so cold
Let me in your window
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy
I've come home, I'm so cold
Let me in your window
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy
I've come home, I'm so cold
Finally.
Thank you for not telling this song helped you and you're 60 years old woman and who is listening on 2024 and bla bla bla.
Incredible they let her do that... The song, the dance, the red dress... A truly umblemished vision, a gem
This song evokes such a harrowing melancholy in me, especially the guitar solo in the end: it weeps in yearning, longing, grief. Cathy and Heathcliff's love was so complicated, nasty, and toxic, and I find it so relatable to me and the love that suffered me a lot.
Isn't weird every now and then a song just gets in our heads ...I heard this for the first time today 3/26/24 can't stop listening to it ....I got a taste of it today from a top ten list of 1978 and heard a little ...so looked it up...amazing
I am old enough to have read the book and seen a few different versions of Wuthering Heights.
Had never heard of Kate Bush in my life and certainly not this song. It just popped up when I was searching TH-cam.
It touched my heart and soul in a way I cannot express.
I listen to it with the lyrics. I think it is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard - plus knowing what the lyrics are referring to.
Cathy is a ghost.
I've also read the book and had no idea this song existed. I clicked it out of curiosity lol.
I think I need to reread. I was like 15 when I read it.
@@buttslayer7492 Lol, I was about 15 as well when I read it. I am now 68.
Just reread it. A completely different story to me at 68 compared to me as a somewhat clueless 15 year old ( I am referring to myself ).
I’ve never read it, I think I’m going to. And I hope the fact that Cathy is a ghost is not a spoiler
Pat Benetar did a cover of this song. Check it out.
this woman is so fascinating ... and this music is so incredible that I do not want to stop listening never 😢
@ wtf?
Du Mickey Maus denkst auch fu hast was zu sagen???
She's so full of grace. Serms like a beautiful little bird
Multi-talented, humble, intelligent and a stunning beauty. Sometimes nature just gets it all right. I'm in love.
Me too! From early on, 1978 i think.
Prima linda musica
@Greg Jacques wasn't I'm xaet have.

Thank You
I was a kid in high school when one of my classmates made us listen to this song during class. We immediately laughed our asses off, those dance moves were so goofy to us and the high pitch hilarious. Truth is that I was actually impressed by this song and when I came home I played it over and over again. It was like nothing I heard before in music. I couldn't stop listening to it and still now, after 6 years, it's one of my all time favourite songs.
I hope you apologised to your classmate.
Yeah for real. But now it's cool to be quirky, gay, goth, and alt... Lol people.
What's even worse is he didn't acknowledge how wrong it was that he burst out laughing. Sent him home feeling like crap after sharing his vulnerability and then you go home and vibe to it?!?! I'd punch you in the face if I could lmao
Lol I was good friend with the guy that did the presentation, I didn't have any problem telling him I liked the song afterwards. Chill guys
Also no vulnerabilities involved, it was a literature project about Wuthering Heights and the guy randomly played the song at the end
I was about 12 years old when I saw her for the first time in tv. I realized there are things above the Bay City Rollers, Bee Gees and all the stuff I heard in my childhood. I just was sitting there, stunning, with my chin on my knees. Thank you so much Kate.❤
My dad introduced me to this song. Then I didn't understood anything and her voice kinda annoyed me. Years after I read wuthering heights and now am just speechless how she summerized this book so well in a quite short song. Everything about this song just matches so well! Sometimes you need time to appreciate and understand things...
“Sometimes you need time to appreciate and understand things.” That’s such a amazing thing to say. Patience is a virtue more need to understand
I believe she wrote this when she was 16...wow!
In fact, the song is just the about the first scene of the book , the first 50 pages, when Lockwood visits Heathcliff and in a dream hears and touches Cathy’s ghost. No way all book is summerized in the lyrics here. The first problem in saying that the book is summerized in the song is Wuthering Heights is not just Heathcliff + Catherine history, this is just a part of all.
same with me
Agreed 100 ./.
Discovering Kate Bush's music is what got me through 2020's lockdown. What an intoxicating songwriter and performer. A real treasure.
She's prodigious. The more so when you realised she wrote this when she was only 18.
Well done Chris. Kate's been with me all my life thank goodness
I bought this album in December 2019. Turned out to be very good timing!
Discovering Kate Bush's music in 2022 is what made want to go back into lockdown without any media access so this song would never be heard again
I listen to this song today for the first time and it's such a masterpiece, such a vibe. I'm happy for all the people who listen to this as a child/teen.
I think that youngs should try to listen ALSO something from the past, as you did. They Will find something of great!
Congratulations to Kate for being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! Well deserved.
Only bc society has standards that are below sea level now... 🙄🙄🙄 Please🙄🙄🙄🤦♀️
@@DMV8662Girl, you are everywhere. What's your beef with Kate, like what did she do to you other than exist?
@@DMV8662And who do YOU think deserved to be inducted? Ariana Grande? Gtfo
US simply does not music from outside there. Timeless ballads that cure insomnia. Being Australian thank goodness for your taste in music, UK.
I like this version but also like Pat Benetars version….
Kate wrote this song when she was 18. 18! Incredible talent.
@SPatrick she was actually 10!!!!! We've never seen talent like this a song!?!?!?! Are you serious she wrote this and also is a women it's crazy!?!?!?!
Great talent indeed
And she hadn’t read the book when she wrote it!
This is 100% pure TALENT from the lovely Kate Bush. And this is how far we have fallen on "talent" in 35 years. I mean get this. Modern music critics keep comparing that horrible "Let It Go" song from the 2013 Disney film "Frozen" (sung by Demi Lovato - who was 21 - three years older than Kate was when she wrote and recorded "Wuthering Heights") to this beautiful masterpiece, which was NOT even a big hit here in the States (it was tabbed one of the top hits of the 1970's in Kate's native UK.) This comparison is highly laughable, given the FACT that Demi did NOT even write that damned song (several people, including that talentless hack Diane Warren, had a hand in writing that atrocity,) whereas OTOH, Kate wrote this song at age 18, unassisted. I'd really like to see a so-called "talent" from today like Demi even try to attempt singing "Wuthering Heights" or "Don't Give Up" (Kate's lovely duet with Peter Gabriel from his "So" album.) I bet she could NOT do it. That goofball Simon Cowell apparently hates "Wuthering Heights" so much that he will NOT even allow contestants on the talent shows he judges to sing the song as an intro audition. It just shows that today's so-called music experts do NOT know what talent is anymore. Demi Lovato? Give me a damned break!! Kate wins easily!!
@@davej.meister5421 get off your knees Kate is not calling you you are the definition of a groupie "DeY nO mAkE dA mUsiC mE lIkE no MoRe hurhur"
I remember my dad would always put this song on just after dinner if he was in a good mood, and he didnt have work that night (he did the 9pm - 5am, for 20+ years, poor guy) - and he always gushed about how brilliant Kate Bush was. How ahead of her time she was. And I love my dad dearly, but he never was someone who would read into stuff like *that* all that much. He loved his music, and could analyse it, break down what made him love it (he was a drummer in his youth) but he never talked about the prowess of the craft as much as he did about Kate Bush. For all my life, he has always told me that Kate Bush was one of the best artists of all time, because of her genius, and how she wasn't afraid to be different - she had a different take on the music world and knew how to express herself, all the while making you interested in what she's doing, with a brilliant song writing sense and amazing voice to boot. He's always said she had the best singing voice of all time! My dads words, but I've learned to appreciate them; and he's right, there is a brilliance in Kate Bush. I've been a fan since I was maybe 15 (I'm 28 now, agh!) and my dads words ring true. He's a lot like her. Passion is contagious. She's so passionate about her music, and it's easily seen by the right people, and they just so happen to pass that on to their daughters...
I truly do love this song. :)
This is great. Thank you for sharing!
I found this song during end of 2020.The feeling i had when i listned to this at first was not something i can describe, it felt really unique from what i have heard
Thank you for sharing, my friend. Your dad is an inspiration.
Yo j avait 14 ans l année de la mort de mon père Kate est une très grande artiste aujourd'hui j ai 58 printemps et je l ecoute toujours 🤗😈
🥰
The original filmclip...and its sublime.
Her essence...movement....lyrics......theatrics....music.
stunning...start to finish
It's 2021. An iconic voice. It makes me close my eyes, imagine good things and fly, remembering the past.
I'm almost 62. This is one of those songs that stayed with me over the decades. Not easy to forget the one and only Kate Bush, and her unique voice.
ive just turned 15 and i love her because of my parents
Yeah stays in my head also, it’s Sucks!
I loved Wuthering Heights. Read it many times and it made me cry each time. When I heard this song the very first time I instantly fell in love with this song. How beautifully Kate Bush has portrayed Cathy. Listening to this song still gives me goosebumps even after all these years
I levedad wuthering heights read it many times and
I feel the same.this song bring me back memories.I used to sing IT and dancing in my tuenties yeeas old.now Im 57
I read that Kate recorded the vocals in one take. Just stellar!!
This song effects me emotionally. Every time I listen to it. Hard to explain exactly how. Saying it gives me goosebumps is only part of it. It's like I'm Heathcliff and Cathy is at my window. This song is that powerful.
Oo
After reading up a bit on the novel of the same title this song is based upon... yeah, you really don't want to be Heathcliff in this situation mate.
That said, it did give the song another layer of emotional weight
The guitar solo is so unbelievably gorgeous and the bass playing on this is so underrated!!
la moustache elle te vomis dessus !
I pay attention to the bass too. Love it. Reminds me a bit of Paul McCartney's somewhat meandering but melodious work in the mid-era Beatles.
yes, you are right
Sometimes I only listen to the bass. It moves all over the place and fits so nicely in the mix.

And the legends say that she is waving to this day.
Strol l love that!🌹
Me, too!
Dissapearing and reapearing off and on. One moment she waves in front of your nose the next she's waving twenty feet to your right and after that you find yourself on the floor because she's waving where you just stood looking annoyed because you took precious waving space away.
Looks like those blow up dancing guys you see outside of car dealerships
Now imagine how weird Frank Zappa seemed playing bicycle spokes with drum sticks on live TV in 1959, 19 years earlier.
Wow. I did not know she was such an excellent dancer. That's impressive!
A classic from 1978. The smooth and girlish sweet voice of Kate and even her characteristic dance , make this beautiful song even better.❤
There is something about Kate Bush that makes my emotions rise to the surface. She draws them out till I almost weep. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's just being in the presence of such genius gives me hope in the world again.
Same! 😌
A once in a lifetime song. One of the most beautiful songs ever written and performed.
There has never been another singer like her with her fantastic voice, her expression and the production, she is fantastic.
She's certainly one of the most unique and creative women in the history of music and she wrote and produced every one of her songs unbelievable talent and the fact she was doing all that in the 1970s and 1980s is more impressive for me she's one of the great talents of the last 50 years
My mum told me she wants this as her funeral song. She’s always been a huge Kate Bush fan. Makes me feel emotional now when I listen to this song knowing that it will eventually be my mums funeral song. Love you ma❤️
this hit me really hard, i hope you never have to listen this song on your moms funeral.
oh gosh! i love this song but i hope it is not soon for your mum!
If you DO play this, make sure there’s a giant stack of Kleenex boxes nearby.
Did she fall in love with a tall dark and handsome foreigner who worked for your dad as kids and was made fun of and ledt ad came back a rich man and got revenge on your family
Lol thats the story. Thwybwere forbidden love
Thanks that’s very touching. I’m 64 but with my luck am probably halfway til they play whatever swan song I decide fits the moment. I can see why your mum chooses this one. I’ve got it penciled in too.
Kate deserves ever accolade she gets! She created this in a time when music itself was in turmoil and out of that she created an
absolute masterpiece!
Kate SURE Is...
And her Songwriting and Storytelling seem to encourage us to Reflect Back on the moments we First Heard her FABULOUS Music, too!
So DESERVING to be Inducted into the RRHOF!!!
I’m sad about Kathy freezing outside, I’m sad Heathcliff never recovered his happiness…Kate Bush music is emotionally beautiful ❤
Does anyone else feel hypnotized watching her dance?
I do
Murilo Herik ✌😊também fiquei hipnotizada com a dança
I do 😊
Murilo Herik Kate studied Karate in her youth, if you watch closely you can see that influence in her dancing. Kate was never trained in dancing, she just adapted her known Karate kata to suit. Lol, still a beautiful woman and for me even more appealing knowing she could kick ass.
i do:)!!
This song is obviously a beautiful, magical spell.
Best definition so far
yes, beautiful this song :-)
That explains how when I first heard it I thought it was the weirdest thing I’d ever heard but now I can’t stop listening to it. Even if I wanted to. It’s repeating in my head nonstop...
I totally agree i didn’t like it at first now I love it so
You have no idea how real this shit is and it aint good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sheva=destroyer DEMONS Kate is a Witch
It's 2024 and this is one of best songs i've ever heard. I'm only 18 and heard the end of the song on the radio and I thought i've gotta know what this song is. I found it and it's an absolute masterpiece! I even started to look up what the meaning behind it is and watching the interviews she gave about it. Absolutely incredible! Who's still here in 2024?
I am here and I am 54. Been a Kate Bush listener since 1985. I particularly adore this song - you have great taste in music! You may want to even read Wuthering Heights.
@@KiraLou06 That's awesome and thank you! Yeah i've already looked it up, and I know there's a series about it, so I might watch it aswell.
now read the book and keep in mind that it is absolutely not a romance as in a love story, but gothic romance as in the genre
Check out wuthering heights on itv starting Sarah Lancashire and Tom hardy ❤👍
I'm 16, and I've known this song as long as I can remember because my mom loves Kate Bush, and being a huuuge fan of music from the 60s-80s, I can confidently say this is one of my favorite songs of all time.
Un bellissimo viaggio nel tempo ❤❤❤
she's more than a singer, she's a performer, an icon, a legend! I adore her!!! Amazing Kate Bush, thank you for existing!♥
Oh my God you’re here watching this in 2024 too??
There is something special about this song, almost hypnotizing in a way that you cant just only listen to it one time ...
@@elijahfluw4347 that's so darn true 😁😂
Definetly man! I think about that song once a time every year and start listen over and over…
