"A triumph of human anatomy!" Well put. She reaches for the ineffable, and achieves it. It stuns me that she has the ability and knows it, then executes it. Are these notes even listed as possible? And how in the "bleep" does she sustain them as long as she does? My soul cries pathetically in her presence.
Hey man! Brian from Western Sydney here. Great that you're listening to Kate, but read the friggin lyrics the first time around. I know. I have been avid admirer of her work since I was a teenager.
Hey there! Sorry, that's just never the way I've engaged with music. I like to "drink" the full track at first, then analyze after and re-listen (and eventually read, if I still can't hear words clearly after several listens).
Hi and thanks for this. One of the recurring themes of this song is the idea of reaching out "instinctively." In it Kate shows (again) a more positive and kinder view of human nature than I have - I tend towards the idea that we are more likely to instinctively take to ourselves rather than reach out to others. To her something that seems to be present across her music is the idea that being negative, cruel, selfish etc is something that we learn or become conditioned to. While I take a different view, her song writing skill is very well showcased here. It is very possible that you won't work out what the next song is about on your first listen, but don't worry, part of the trip we undertake in listening to this album is finding out what the next song is about: as you go from she didn't... she hasn't... she wouldn't... she might have... I think she did... she has y'know... "he go do...do... do, do, do."
@@mattsnider2667 I think a fair bit of the division relates to the fact that she tackled the subject at all and not how she did it (ok setting it to something almost like a tango vibe is outrageous - but I do like outrageous).
Just wanted to say that I love your KB journey! A little sneakpeak of information about the albums that have yet to come for you 😊 - 1993, The Red Shoes. Probably her most controversial album? There were a lot of things going on in Kate’s life at this point (her mother died, she broke up with her bf who she’d been together with for a long time), and many believe it distracted her from her music a bit. The songs are actually made for a live concert (so they’re less detailed in instrumentation and have a more poppy sound) but after rehearsals she canceled it anyway. - 2005, Aerial. Her comeback album after a long, long break where she became a mother and tried to make a peaceful, normal, happy life for herself and her husband and son. This album is much more of a fan favourite, I actually know tons of KB fans who concider it their faves, including myself! The album has a similar structure to Hounds of Love: the first disc contains 7 sweet, laid back songs about her intrests and some old school made up stories by the fantastic storyteller Kate Bush. Disc 2 is one of her masterpieces called A Sky of Honey. It’s a suite about the passing of a summer day and enjoying the little things in life (a sunset, the light in Italy etc.) we follow Kate on a journey from Afternoon til sunrise. - 2011, 50 Words for Snow. Kate’s most recent album contains 7 piano driven pieces of music between 6-14 minutes. The storytelling is INCREDIBLE (only Kate could make up a story about an old dog who dies and meets his owner in afterlife) but many concider the songs themselfs challenging. The 3 10+ minutes songs are very jazzy and don’t contain a lot of repetition. Personally I think this album is a huge grower and I concider it one of my favourite Kate albums now!
And of course Aerial side 1 includes 3 songs as tributes to Kate’s family - one for her son, one a memorial for her father and one for her mother. The last she wasn’t going to include on the album but her ex set up the studio in candlelight, and Kate performed it in a single take,
@@MikeWadeUK21 Aerial wouldn’t have been the same with A Coral Room, such a beautiful and moving song. Which song are you referring to with the tribute to her father though?
Spot on, Matt. Kate said it’s about our compulsion to hold on to things that change. Micheal Nyman on strings and Charlie Morgan (Elton John’s drummer) on percussion really make the track for me. Can’t wait for your reaction to the next couple of songs-definitely two of the stand-outs on this album…

Perhaps the most wonderful and moving song out there about yearning (for parental love etc.) It leaves me too speechless to say any more.
In one word: gorgeous!

Well said right back to you. It is a singular experience listening to Kate.

With Under the Ivy,The Kick inside, this song is among the most beautiful and emotional songs from Kate . They just tear me up every time. Thank you.
Next one’s gonna be interesting. Many people are put off by the subject matter (LISTEN to the lyrics). I adore it!

Haha, someone else told me the next song's themes have divided fans over the years, so I'm definitely curious what it will be about!

This one has an special shine that I really like. Very cinematic and epic.
