Seeing Kate Bush being discovered by a younger generation because of Stranger Things was beautiful this year. Kate is a genuine musical genius, unlike anyone else. Her musical achievement is so rich, varied, original, and emotionally deep
Having said that, this rendition has, apart from text and main melody, nothing in common with the original. And that's a good thing. You shouldn't just "cover" Kate Bush songs, because it's so hard to make them better. Instead PMJ turned it into something quite different, as per usual. And very enjoyable I must say! Wonderful singer too!
You know that feeling Douglas Adams describes where you get this longing directly proportional from how far you are from home? And since Ford was on Earth and his home was Betelguese, it was a stronger feeling than anyone on Earth could understand? That kind of describes how I feel having been a fan of Kate Bush for almost 30 years. And RUTH was the first Kate Bush song I ever heard. And all these people are just discovering her for the first time. Even people that I've tried to get to listen to her over the years who didn't get her are finally listening. It's overwhelming. The song has been changed forever. Kate Bush has been changed forever. It's making me a bit seasick, frankly. But so, so thrilled. And this is a great cover. They kept the spirit of the original while making it their own, which are the hallmarks of any great cover.
One of the things I love about Postmodern Jukebox is that they really get in to the songs they perform. They are obviously excellent musicians and I get the impression they knock out a lot of recordings; I don't know how quickly. But at any rate you can see they are enjoying themselves, as we the listeners are.
Saw them live yesterday and can confirm they are every bit as much into it live. It's great. If you ever get the chance find a spot close to the stage and you'll pick up some banter and stuff. It's all very much the real deal. They really have this much fun playing :D
I love western style version of this song the beat sounds pretty amazing and the lady's voice and dance moves are just incredible, truly a talented group right here

It’s actually not that difficult, it just means you can only use half the notes the sax has. But if you already know going in that the solo won’t need any of those notes, playing one handed is super easy
the most impressive part for me was her waiting that long to slip the guitar pick into her pocket. she danced with that thing between her fingers until the sax showed up!
As a former Blues/Jazz singer & Classical Pianist who is age 50... This is one of the best arrangements & performances of a cover that I have ever seen in my life. If not the absolute best ever! Thank You So Very Very much!
I've listened to this probably about 20 times since i heard it a week ago. One of the best covers PMJ has ever done. Best performance by Megg ever. The call and answer arrangement is incredibly well done. 1:10 to 1:40 is flawless
🇫🇷 Bravo pour cette reprise qui ne manque pas d’originalité 👍 Ce n’est vraiment pas évident de reprendre une chanson de Kate Bush et de faire passer des émotions autres que les siennes mais vous y êtes arrivés. Bravo 👏👏👏
Out of ten, I give this performance an Eleven! Sweet Meg has a sweet voice and she could stop running up that hill and steal all the moments she wants!
I love this interpretation💯 As for Kate, I was an old teenager, 1978, December sometime, Saturday night live, she did two songs - "the man with the child in his eyes" and "them heavy people"... I remember it like it was yesterday. Because she captured my heart at that moment and I've been a loyal and giant fan ever since. There are VERY few famous musicians who have managed to attain and retain the career elegance that she has. She's literally one of a kind 🥰
This has to be the best arrangement of Kate's song out there. If there's a Grammy for such things, it should be sitting on your shelf, Scott. The choice of ensemble is perfect, and Sweet Megg's voice and phrasing is perfect as well. I absolutely love this. Well done!
This ensemble of musicians is incredible, so glad to have found them. Sweet Megg is appropriately named, her voice, style, and performance are amazing!!
You are so very talented Scott Bradlee. I really enjoy the way's you've arranged and produced the various pieces you've done. Keep on groovin' mate, and, keep 'em comin'.
Having the time of my life listening to this while I'm sick for New Year's. The channeling on this is so neat. Especially when the Sax guy moves across
I thought I'd heard my fill of that song this year....how wrong was I!!! Outstanding arrangement, awesome vocals and a cheeky wee sax man popping in there...loved every minute 👍
I love how you pick a tone & go with it & emulate the vibe so well we are taken away to another place & time sometimes! Epic job on your final cover of the year 💜🎶✨
I listen to this song since I was 10 years old. at the time it was in a BASF stick, today it is m4A. And now this new version that turned out excellent.
Just the best cover ever. Cant stop listening. Rhythm section, Thor's twang, Megg's voice and then the sax, stunning arrangement, beautifully executed.

Did anyone ever notice, the pianist, never ever used a paper sheet in his observable life? 9 years if not longer, he plays on feeling.
Yeah, Scott Bradlee is a mesmerising talent....
Imagine movie sound tracks with his talent. He can obviously communicate well as he gets the best singers and musiciy
He's the composer of the whole thing, he's worried about listening for timing from his performers and keeping pace.
He would know the thing by heart.
Some people can ONLY play like that de to neurological limitations.
He is a musician ;)

@@mbrackevathe cover by Car Seat Headrest is also great, it has an unique approach to the cover, I highly recommend it
part of level 3 music studies syllabus and gcse music.
that's befor the programme
Pretty sure the band did not wait for that poor show to "discover" Kate Bush...
Just a " jump on the bandwagon" opportunity.

And well dressed, too!
Dude. Look up how they started, an awesome little story
I’ll be holding out for a hero to sing the Bonny Tyler Jazz cover!
2:27. thats a badass sax....and that's how you make an entrance.
Every time I hear this version I love it a little more. Beautiful base guitar, sax, drums, bass, piano, guitar and singing! More Kate Bush please? :)
The Sax Guy, so talented !
Jacob Scesney on the one-handed sax solo 💯
@@postmodernjukebox - dude can BLOW.
Watch him in their Radioactive cover! He's STELLAR
Thank you so much! 10 years strong in postmodern jukebox and hopefully decades more to come!! 🎷🧸

I love western style version of this song the beat sounds pretty amazing and the lady's voice and dance moves are just incredible, truly a talented group right here
"that lady" is Kate Bush ... 😉
catch her All About That Bass on PMJ ...
lungs of brass and voice of silk ...
The lady is actually Sweet Megg.
Kate Bush is the original writer/singer of this song.

Sweet mamma, if only life was it as melodic as Sweet Meg, and as soft as that sax, then I wouldn't have to beg for table scrap.
Ok but can we have a round of applause for the saxophone? That was sexy!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 agreed! My favorite part!
Overrated
My guy is a whole vibe on his own.
My God he’s HOT….
It’s actually not that difficult, it just means you can only use half the notes the sax has. But if you already know going in that the solo won’t need any of those notes, playing one handed is super easy
enjoy a bit of PMJ in the Upside Down to close out the year...
Wishing all of you a Happy 2023!
Thank you for the superb 🎶 🎵. Happy 2023 to you guys. 🥰Keep up these awesome Tunes.💖
Happy New Year to you and yours, too!
P.S. If you pin your comment, then it'll be Downside Up!
Happy New Year to you, too, Mr. B! 😉🎉 Looking forward to all you, and #PMJ will surprise us with in 2023! 👍💖🎶
Thank u, guys!
Oooo. Imagine a Julie Cruze version in "The Red Room" a la Laura Palmer & Agent Cooper.
When a supernatural monster from another dimension tries to kill you, but you dance him back where he came from
A WILD SAX MAN HAS APPEARED! Amazing vocals! Amazing arrangement! Thank you!!
a sax maniac!
Just brilliant Kate Bush does a good version ad well.
The absolute BEST music video ALL pushed over the winner line by one thing. Saxophone entrance. Brilliant. Absolutely.
This sounds motivating, I'm going to achieve everything I desire
the most impressive part for me was her waiting that long to slip the guitar pick into her pocket. she danced with that thing between her fingers until the sax showed up!
The sax is just the cream on top of a fantastic cake

Love the "conversation" between Megg and the guitarist.
Kate Bush is a pure artist. Please, more renditions? Too many great pieces just as great as this one too ignore
Would love to hear more of “This Woman’s Work”
Cloudbusting is an another masterpiece.
"Watching You Without Me" or "Night Of The Swallow" or "Army Dreamers."
Man With the Child in His Eyes
👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹 I wish you all a wonderful and magical new music year 🎶🎶🎶✨✨🎸🎸
Buddy on the red guitar is just utterly awesome. And then the sax man takes it up a whole level. Wow!
I feel Robert Cray vibes!
Sweet Megg ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹👑👑👑👑👑
Stellar. Arrangement, soloist, combo, just stellar. This is the best PMJ cover in a while and that's saying something.
I 100% agree! Fresh and talented.
I agree! Just Wow!
Pretty cool and love the arrangements
I just can’t seem to stop coming back to this one, I’m still as amazed as the first time I listened!
I agree.
It's how I start my every day since I first saw & heard it. Best. Earworm. Ever.
I love this so so much, giggled when the sax player popped out from the side aha
I am obsessed with that dress!
Agreed, arrangement not so much.
I can't stop listening this song. Absolutely great!
THEY RETURN! And with a rootin' tootin' BANGER no less!
Love the piano interlude a couple of minutes in.
A must for tbe 2023 playlist. Fabulous performance. Can't stop listening to it.

As a Life long fan of Kate, That guys .... Is Brilliant .......
Jacob's saxophone was the smoothest addition in a song ever. That man can play! Pure perfection.
This started off ❤, escalated to ❤❤, and finished like 😻! Oh YEAH, baby!
This is my favourite PMJ - there’s so much going on and it all works. I wonder where it ranks for Scott.
I cry when I listen to this song. The best I've heard.
I like Kate Bush and PMJ, so I'm happy, amazing! from Japan xxx👍
Massive toe-tapper!!! & Sweet Megg! More More More Sweet Megg!!!!
Sax player stole the show!

Beautiful, emotive vocals and an all around excellent arrangement ❤
OMG Vocal+bass= masterpiece

What a way to sign out on 2022.
If PMJ were to cover Kate Bush it was bound to be absolutely awesome.
Love it.
We really need an 1850's version of Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights
Just have to keep coming back to this one. Outstanding all around!
J'adore 😍😍
Bis, encore....keep on playing! I could hear hear this version every minute of every day!
Хорошая работа, молодцы ребята ! Bravo!
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
hi, good covers, congratulations from lyon in france, Happy new year
Sweet Megg + PMJ = a match made in heaven.
Yes! PMJ is EXACTLY what I needed! Awesome work as usual, folks!
And that sax entrance... that's smooth, baby.

Every Song they perform is a really unique Cover on the highest possible Level of musical Artistry. Itˋs fantastic.
Wow! What an extraordinary version of Kate’s song! 🎉
Gosh she is the definition of charisma
Ab fab, loved every second from all involved, could listen to renditions of any songs done in this style.
You are so very talented Scott Bradlee. I really enjoy the way's you've arranged and produced the various pieces you've done. Keep on groovin' mate, and, keep 'em comin'.
Weltklasse !
Thanks PMJ for providing all the necessary requisite energy for ‘Running Up That Hill’! 🏃🏽♀️GREAT way to ‘cover’ the end of 2022! 💯👏
The backing band looks straight out of a movie from the early 60s. Love this!
