"I'm not promoting myself, but the work" is such an extremely healthy and refreshing outlook. Especially in this day of influencers and Entertainment Personalities. She has poured so much theatricality into her albums and her videos, but she realizes that there's a place for theater and a place for earnestness, and she approaches her interviews with such calm candor. A true artist.
Art merely imitates and reflects life but it is NOT real life. Real life is what ordinary everyday folk do in everyday living. Like work, have kids or not bother with having kids at all, do other things instead, kerp house, raise kids, have pets, fall in love, fall out of love, feel happy/sad, die, grieve, get lucky, suffer misfortunes etc. Having dreams eg of being good enough to perform on a stage, be famous is not the same as living in some kind of delusion, like most millennial influencers and assorted 'wannabes' live in nowadays, unaware of the huge discrepancy between the reality of c the crap they really are and what how good they imagine themselves to be. Fame does not necessarily mean you are any good because fam we can be easily 'bought', if you t mummy and daddy are rich enough and ambitious enough to be able to afford to just pay for it, for their darling worthless, useless moll e nnial daughters taught by feminist mothers to 'just fake it till you make it'. An AI fake voice can make you sound good, even look fantastic on a screen, even if you are crap.The acid test is to get up on a stage full dressed in plain clothes and perform live for a critical live audience.In an earlier cultural era, in Europe, cradle of Western culture, arrogant crappy artists daring to get public attention with their trash shows were pelted with rotted fruit etc to give them the hint to get off, go get a normal job, have kids etc.Not waste audience time to see them perform their garbage.
No modern female vocalist or songwriter is even in the same atmosphere as this woman. I would hope, wish, and pray, that any young female artists would learn from her, this is what power is, this is intelligence, this is beauty, not a better example of of a fine human being. We’re so blessed to have her.
I find that Bjork does things that are also very haunting and amazing... Go and listen, because Bjork's songs are similar to Kate's, but they don't sound like copies! I recommend the song "Unison".
Asmr is awesome and yes Kate is awesome for it since I have crush on her as well. You can feel tingles listening to her. If you stay too long I get put into a coma or pissed off. I think Kate is the positive version. There is a negative aspect though more towards someone you live with and then cabin fever when you get shut in with people who annoy the fuck out of you because some thing gets in the way and changes the sensation into hatred for those around you. then you become Jack Torrance (Nicholson) and grab an ax and start wailing on the others because their asmr changes into nails on a blackboard.
I've always thought she is an intensely private person, and despite the fact that she has a sweet speaking voice and a nice happy smile she always responds more positively to work related questions and shies away from anything that might divulge personal information. She is, without doubt, in my opinion, the most talented female music artist on the planet, and she's addictive, whether you're looking at her or listening to her.
@@beathusk1018 she really is extremely talented and a genius I must say, but she's just an artist that makes music... You shouldn't obsess over someone you barely even know such an unhealthy way... It's hard to not admire her but being so deeply obsessed that you are ready to worship her is really something else... Focus on your goals, live your life, love yourself and the people who care about you. I hope you have a successful career in future and achieve everything you've ever wanted to... Good luck in life and I hope you have/had a great day
@@beathusk1018 ohh... You know, some people actually mean it when they say they worship a certain celebrity so I thought you were one of them... I didn't know you were using the word as a phrase...
She’s very gracious and open in her answers but in all her interviews there’s an overriding feeling she doesn’t want to be there. I find myself wishing they would hurry up so she could go home. I can almost hear the engine running outside.
Not normal. Mature and wise beyond her years. She was incredibly mature even at 19. And, of course, talented beyond belief! But I know what you mean, Keith.
Did anyone else notice that? She wrote 200 songs between age 13 to 17!!! she did in fact begin exploring original ideas and writing lyrics at the age of 11!!. Notice she said 'seriously writing' at age 13...my god!!
@@gavinreid5387 I have been a professional musician for over 30 years, I think at age 16 I had written 3 songs, Lol...I was very proud, hahaha! It ain't easy.
What you see is what you get with Kate, no airs and graces , she’s confident and completely at ease with herself, and unlike artists these days don’t feel she has to flaunt her body to sell records, love her💙
her grace, her intelligence., humility..... so inspiring watching and listening to this ........ very rare to see these sort of interviews with this much depth and insight......
"I think when you don't give people anything they make things up." Too true. Kate Bush was/is the polar opposite of the drama queens we see in media today who revel in media gossip and create a lot themselves. Thank God Kate never played into their game and gave them what they wanted. There are too few "Kate Bush's" in music and too many (insert personal opinion).
The most beautiful voice I 💗 always vote for this mom Irena Sikanjic dot of Kate When I need her nobody in art world speek or tell me for she that happened here in Yugoslavia these days is the same we need help special friend thank you
I notice that Kate looks away for an instant when the interviewer asks questions regarding her personal family life. But when he asks questions regarding her creative process and her inspiration for albums, her gaze is more inclined towards him. I can completely understand and respect this. Speaking personally, Kate's music is intrisncally deep and profound, involving spirituality and deep soul searching. This is one of the reasons why I am drawn to her... Listen to her talk about the power of love and misunderstanding in relationships... My God,, Id love to interview her and ask her more questions along these lines.I have immense respect for Kate. I have such gratitude towards her.
I am listening to your " Highlights of music" as I write this, I am glad I found this comment, It lead me to your channel, Your very talented Lee. I have subbed and look forward to more, of your beautiful music, peace to you and your loved ones.
@@albertawheat6832 many thanks for your lovely message- it’s greatly appreciated ! I’m delighted you like the music Alberta and here’s wishing peace and blessings to you and your family too .
I make this shallow noise ✨ and I approve this ✨ . . For real, you’re not a musician if you call her untalented. I respect and worship this woman so much. On the other hand, the shallow noise they call music ✨sells✨. People listen to it and thats how we make a living 🤷🏼♀️ literally everytime you play the song on apple music we get paid. If people like it and we get paid... we gotta build an audience and keep it satisfied... and we gotta pay bills too 🤷🏼♀️ but id blame people who make this type of music go viral. I don’t necessarily enjoy putting it out there because i know im capable of so much more than that, but if it brings joy to people, why not? Especially since my audience is very young, music plays a huge role at that age and im honored to be part of it and help them go through things. Sometimes it goes beyond the song itself.... but yeah, Kate Bush is 👑 period
There’s so much beautiful music about now - at 43 I thought there wasn’t - but I have a few younger friends and they introduced me to so much! Don’t expect everything to be shit because it’s not of your/our time!
there’s good music out there nowadays you just gotta look. i feel mainstream music may just be considered “boring” because it’s not interesting, because music that becomes popular is music that is energetic and danceable to. however there are MANY artists out there making music today that have great releases. You just gotta look dude.
Have never seen this before! What a great interview ..... she's so sharp and outgoing, and you can see the intelligence in her eyes. I have sympathy with the interviewer ..... I wouldn't have done half such a good job, despite the fact I'm now a fan. There's so much material touched on, here. I love her abrupt answers. 'Yes.'! So unlike , say, a politician.
Here in the US I first discovered Kate right about the time of this interview when listening to a radio interview with the legendary Scott Muni in NYC. She was so lovely and gracious. Been a big fan since. Seeing her perform is on my bucket list.
I've adored this woman's work for most of my entire life! I was only twelve when I first saw her video "Wuthering Heights" and was inspired by her extraordinary brilliance in writing, singing, and by her beauty, intelligence, and wit! She will forever be my teacher and my inspirational life force!
I don’t know her for that long, but she’s quickly become my favourite and she also reignited my passion for songwriting (or writing in general). Her songwriting skills always leave me in awe ❤️
I know she’s still got quite a few fans, but holy crap she’s one of my favorite artists ever. My first love musically is alt rock/indie from bands like Weyes Blood, The National, etc., and I feel like they owe so much of who they are (Weyes Blood in particular) to Kate Bush. Discovering that everything I love is just iterations of the brilliance of Kate Bush.
Weyes Blood isn't alt rock or indie. she's art pop! that's the same genre as Kate Bush, and artists such as Bjork. it's an amazing genre, and sadly one of the only genres in the music community where women get recognition.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful interview. She is articulate, captivating, really talented, and quite beautiful. Credit to the interviewer who posed interesting questions and let us listen to the answers.
Good old telly yes, even though it's a programme aimed for a youngish audience the interviews were usually very adult not the loud nonsense we get today.
Thanks for this, Menro! Easily one of the better Kate interviews from this time period. I love how relaxed she seems here, and she has the loveliest speaking voice. I could listen to Kate talk about music all day.
I see others have mentioned it and I always find it stands out in any interview, her intelligence. Yes, she is very beautiful, off the planet talented/creative, has a unique voice and is very modest but above all, it's her intelligence that stands out. No other singer, past or present, male or female comes close. Love to know what her IQ is. There are many genres in music, but she has one of her own, the Kate Bush genre. She's in a league of her own. I've been in love with this lady since '78.
There is great sensual , intellectual , emotional , and funky depth in Kate Bush songs beyond the surface storyline of the song. Cloudbusting, for instance, sure doesn't solely have to be just about making rain in the sky - not in my chosen interpetation anyway.
Thank you so much for showing this video. I have been a life long fan and it is so wonderful to ‘meet’ the real Kate Bush. Her beauty, grace and gentle voice elevate me into a world of calm and peace.
Hounds of Love is a superb record. Maybe a contrast in cultures is obvious when comparing Kate Bush and her contemporary Madonna. The difference is simply evident.
Ghandi would have appreciated the marked contrast between Kate and Madonna; when he first arrived in The States he was surrounded by reporters. One asked 'Gee Mr. Ghandi, what do you think of American culture?' to which he replied 'It sounds like an excellent idea!'
What a British icon, She did the right thing building her own studio in her childhood country home in Kent rather then spening loads of money on studio time in London I met her twice as a kid among other people in that circle, But even more so her dad Robert Bush-My friend and his family their family GP was Robert which was in: Plumstead South East London-Lovley man
@Baby Hunn Yes I did meet Hannah yes, don't think I would forget that lol Remember when she brought out a massive jug of orange squash for me and my friend-Frazer! Who's nurse, She worked as a staff nurse at Epsom Grove Hospital-Surrey Where you from?
@Baby Hunn Ah good old NY, been there many times since a small kid in 80's for a holiday among other parts of the US! No Hannah had met Robert before he was a GP. And his practice was in London in Plumstead not Surrey! I don't live that far from her childhood home in county of Kent in Welling-I'm also in Kent near Dartford! Have you been to the UK before??
@Baby Hunn Oh yeah, where did you stay and what did you do while you here in the mid 90's 😁 No Bexleyheath is where she was born but the house where she grew up in was just down the road in Welling! Because at that time she moved to London when EMI bought her a flat and wanted to be back in Kent in early 1982! So she moved back home with her mum and dad in Welling and built a home studio there then in late 1985 bought house in Eltham! But wasn't in the house it was a built extension from the side of the garden! Hannah never worked with Robert in Plumstead! Yea she was from Ireland Hannah-Yeah Kate was/is very talented. I'm falling alseep as very late here in UK so if don't reply will do when wake up. 🥱
@Baby Hunn Not a problem at all! I do know of the Adirondack Moutains but never been there, and was also last shown on UK-TV 4 months ago! When you said its almost time for you to wake up I was still sleeping for 3 hours. lol Oh so just in London then-should of got a train into Kent-my part of Kent to London only takes 35 mins on the train. 😁 As I am writing this it is 9am in New York and 2pm here! building a home studio with all that equipment was really expensive, but in the long run it isn't-Typical artists normally spend at least 6 months doing an album and if you recorded that at EMI that would of been something like 3 grand a day so total that up for 6 months! Not just that but also the producer and engineer get their cut, which Kate didn't have to do. + Abby Road would be like 5 grand a day which would ten obviously come out of what ever you made with single/album in the charts! Where as a home studio you have no constant pressure! Del met her in summer of 1976, when she was 18, well to me as I was local and also because my friend and his familes GP was DR Robert Bush it was much earlier meeting them than at a record signing their album etc When d you think yu will be next in the UK for a holiday-I mean been 25 very long years(take it you went before Sept)??
Kate is so soft-spoken. She would be great in ASMR😉. I really like this interview (in opposite to that infamous Nightflight one 🤦). She seems to enjoy it. Kate is a musical genius, I love her greatly. Her "The Dreaming" album is my top1 of all time and the song "Breathing" from "Never for ever" is a masterpiece Greetings to every Kate's fan from Poland.😃♥️
2:16 I felt the same about school but was stupid enough to carry on with A-Levels at college and Bachelors degree at University. They just try to give you the false hope that working in an office at a higher level will really benefit and fulfil you in your life - what a lie that was.
It's interesting how different not just the accent but the inflection in people's voices was different 35 years ago, not to mention how much more awkwardly formal interviews seemed. What I love about Kate's vibe as well is she makes an effort not to come across as arrogant despite having every right to be, given how much she created from such a young age.
@@NeglectedField here in the USA, several waves of migration both from outside and within have also contributed to the alteration and even elimination of some regional dialects. Many different regional accents have softened and become less distinct. Television went a long way to homogenizing the national identity of several languages, not just English. Of course, as I often tell my friends when pressed to explain events both current and historical, it's never just one thing. However, television and film can easily and rather accurately be credited for having done the most to change the way people speak.
@@NeglectedField the changes in speech have continued as the media has changed who are their featured speakers and chosen idols. Back then artists such as Kate tended to be more eloquent and intelligent. Now the media and music industry are cluttered with functional illiterates who struggle to form a complete sentence.
@@felixmarvin1199 In England, way before I was born there were distinct Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex and Kent dialects. Now they've broadly melded into one and within the South East in general, people's dialects are at least seemingly more split by age, class and ethnicity, now.
Kate Bush was an amazing music genius and still is. She was so young and doesn't get nearly enough credit. Wuthering Heights is an amazing song and her other songs. I love seeing early on women in music successes like this but also sad how they were held back and how hard people can be on them. I'm just in a trance watching some of her music and its so rare now to see music like that so its precious.
1:25 is so sad why do people care so much about her weight and looks when she said herself its about the music not her! when she did a comeback and released Ariel the horrible comments were so uncalled for as they weren't critiquing the music, but Kate herself!
The Dreaming has all the bits of genius in a raw form that Kate Bush was able to integrate in later projects that were recieved and successful commercially. You can see she recognizes her own powers in it, and I think it has been observed by reviewers as being important in her evolution as an artist.
I noticed that Kate very often had been wearing only one earring. Even in her red dress "Wuthering Heights" video. Was this in fashion in the 80s or is it a Kate's "thing"? I was born in 1983 so I don't really remember.😉 BTW, She looks beautiful here - which is nothing new. 😄 Beautiful, intelligent, humble and sublime woman.♥️ Greetings from Poland and thank you for uploading the interview.
Her most popular album but I wouldn't say it was her best. I'd struggle to pick one but The Dreaming and Aerial come before HOL for me. But they're all good.
I have so many questions and would like her answers about "the ninth wave". "And dream of sheep" is such a haunting, deeply intense song for me and I would love her commentary on this work. The media never asked these questions and typically focused on the questions that made her uncomfortable. Its unfortunate that great artists like Kate are pressed for mundane answers to mainstream questions and not asked questions that they would feel more comfortable and rewarding (at least for the fans) surrounding their art and what their work means to everyone who loves it.
I just love the way she is so softly spoken, I've always said I love Kate speaking voice as much as her singing! She's the best. By the way, do you have interview she did with Adam Curry?
Crazy how back in the 80s not releasing an album for a couple of years was rare and ppl might forget about you, these days in the space of 5 years most bands release 2 mediocre albums (in comparison to 60s, 70s, 80s) and do 2 world tours.
She is fantastic! She’s so careful hear about what she reveals; however, I listen to his songs and I just respond from the words alone, I don’t even have to know what this song is supposed to mean what what film it pays reference too. However, this is interesting to hear what movies she likes or comedians.
Why do I get the sense that under that sweet, polite, endearing woman, there is an overpowering force of nature that could just completely engulf and obliterate one?
"I'm not promoting myself, but the work" is such an extremely healthy and refreshing outlook. Especially in this day of influencers and Entertainment Personalities. She has poured so much theatricality into her albums and her videos, but she realizes that there's a place for theater and a place for earnestness, and she approaches her interviews with such calm candor.

There is great sensual , intellectual , emotional , and funky depth in Kate Bush songs beyond the surface storyline of the song. Cloudbusting, for instance, sure doesn't solely have to be just about making rain in the sky - not in my chosen interpetation anyway.
“It’s not quite as basic as that…”, @11:58 pretty much sums up Kate Bush.
Thank you so much for showing this video. I have been a life long fan and it is so wonderful to ‘meet’ the real Kate Bush. Her beauty, grace and gentle voice elevate me into a world of calm and peace.
Kate bush is so inspiring. ❤
What a beautiful voice.
Hounds of Love is a superb record. Maybe a contrast in cultures is obvious when comparing Kate Bush and her contemporary Madonna. The difference is simply evident.
Ghandi would have appreciated the marked contrast between Kate and Madonna; when he first arrived in The States he was surrounded by reporters. One asked 'Gee Mr. Ghandi, what do you think of American culture?' to which he replied 'It sounds like an excellent idea!'
Amazing looking woman, those eyes! Wow!
What a British icon, She did the right thing building her own studio in her childhood country home in Kent rather then spening loads of money on studio time in London
I met her twice as a kid among other people in that circle, But even more so her dad Robert Bush-My friend and his family their family GP was Robert which was in: Plumstead South East London-Lovley man
@Baby Hunn Yes I did meet Hannah yes, don't think I would forget that lol
Remember when she brought out a massive jug of orange squash for me and my friend-Frazer!
Who's nurse, She worked as a staff nurse at Epsom Grove Hospital-Surrey
Where you from?
@Baby Hunn Ah good old NY, been there many times since a small kid in 80's for a holiday among other parts of the US!
No Hannah had met Robert before he was a GP. And his practice was in London in Plumstead not Surrey!
I don't live that far from her childhood home in county of Kent in Welling-I'm also in Kent near Dartford!
Have you been to the UK before??
@Baby Hunn Oh yeah, where did you stay and what did you do while you here in the mid 90's 😁
No Bexleyheath is where she was born but the house where she grew up in was just down the road in Welling!
Because at that time she moved to London when EMI bought her a flat and wanted to be back in Kent in early 1982!
So she moved back home with her mum and dad in Welling and built a home studio there then in late 1985 bought house in Eltham!
But wasn't in the house it was a built extension from the side of the garden!
Hannah never worked with Robert in Plumstead!
Yea she was from Ireland Hannah-Yeah Kate was/is very talented. I'm falling alseep as very late here in UK so if don't reply will do when wake up. 🥱
@Baby Hunn Not a problem at all!
I do know of the Adirondack Moutains but never been there, and was also last shown on UK-TV 4 months ago!
When you said its almost time for you to wake up I was still sleeping for 3 hours. lol
Oh so just in London then-should of got a train into Kent-my part of Kent to London only takes 35 mins on the train. 😁
As I am writing this it is 9am in New York and 2pm here!
building a home studio with all that equipment was really expensive, but in the long run it isn't-Typical artists normally spend at least 6 months doing an album and if you recorded that at EMI that would of been something like 3 grand a day so total that up for 6 months!
Not just that but also the producer and engineer get their cut, which Kate didn't have to do.
+ Abby Road would be like 5 grand a day which would ten obviously come out of what ever you made with single/album in the charts!
Where as a home studio you have no constant pressure!
Del met her in summer of 1976, when she was 18, well to me as I was local and also because my friend and his familes GP was DR Robert Bush it was much earlier meeting them than at a record signing their album etc
When d you think yu will be next in the UK for a holiday-I mean been 25 very long years(take it you went before Sept)??
Kate is so soft-spoken. She would be great in ASMR😉. I really like this interview (in opposite to that infamous Nightflight one 🤦). She seems to enjoy it. Kate is a musical genius, I love her greatly. Her "The Dreaming" album is my top1 of all time and the song "Breathing" from "Never for ever" is a masterpiece Greetings to every Kate's fan from Poland.😃♥️
She is very attractive and real
2:16 I felt the same about school but was stupid enough to carry on with A-Levels at college and Bachelors degree at University. They just try to give you the false hope that working in an office at a higher level will really benefit and fulfil you in your life - what a lie that was.
One in a billion.
It's interesting how different not just the accent but the inflection in people's voices was different 35 years ago, not to mention how much more awkwardly formal interviews seemed. What I love about Kate's vibe as well is she makes an effort not to come across as arrogant despite having every right to be, given how much she created from such a young age.
Television changed the way people speak.
@@felixmarvin1199 At least in part, yes.
@@NeglectedField here in the USA, several waves of migration both from outside and within have also contributed to the alteration and even elimination of some regional dialects. Many different regional accents have softened and become less distinct. Television went a long way to homogenizing the national identity of several languages, not just English. Of course, as I often tell my friends when pressed to explain events both current and historical, it's never just one thing. However, television and film can easily and rather accurately be credited for having done the most to change the way people speak.
@@NeglectedField the changes in speech have continued as the media has changed who are their featured speakers and chosen idols. Back then artists such as Kate tended to be more eloquent and intelligent. Now the media and music industry are cluttered with functional illiterates who struggle to form a complete sentence.
@@felixmarvin1199 In England, way before I was born there were distinct Hampshire, Surrey, Sussex and Kent dialects. Now they've broadly melded into one and within the South East in general, people's dialects are at least seemingly more split by age, class and ethnicity, now.
I could listen to her talk all day.
aspect ratio very unflattering
Kate Bush was an amazing music genius and still is. She was so young and doesn't get nearly enough credit. Wuthering Heights is an amazing song and her other songs. I love seeing early on women in music successes like this but also sad how they were held back and how hard people can be on them. I'm just in a trance watching some of her music and its so rare now to see music like that so its precious.
A real artist🌈
This is such a great interview with Kate. Thank you soooooo much for this clip! Which is one that I don't has been posted on YT yet.
This women is surreal
1:25 is so sad why do people care so much about her weight and looks when she said herself its about the music not her! when she did a comeback and released Ariel the horrible comments were so uncalled for as they weren't critiquing the music, but Kate herself!
Hello Kate!
Thanks for all you work over the years. Your originality and singing and choreography/
The Dreaming has all the bits of genius in a raw form that Kate Bush was able to integrate in later projects that were recieved and successful commercially. You can see she recognizes her own powers in it, and I think it has been observed by reviewers as being important in her evolution as an artist.
The bloke's sat there thinking "Fucking hell this is one hell of a good-looking woman and I'm finding it hard to concentrate"
yeah she was pretty guarded I thought although did give quite decent replies
Thanks Menro, this is fabulous x
One of my all time favourite lady of music
Nice interview! And hey, The Dreaming is probably my favorite album! :) Thanks for uploading.
Makes a change to see her talking to a decent, sympathetic interviewer.
I noticed that Kate very often had been wearing only one earring. Even in her red dress "Wuthering Heights" video. Was this in fashion in the 80s or is it a Kate's "thing"? I was born in 1983 so I don't really remember.😉 BTW, She looks beautiful here - which is nothing new. 😄 Beautiful, intelligent, humble and sublime woman.♥️ Greetings from Poland and thank you for uploading the interview.
I was born in 1983 also and as a kid, I remember seeing lots of girls wear one earring. I think it was an 80’s fashion thing.
She's so beautiful
She is special!
Great singer..
In 1985 she seemed a different person than before or after....very confidedent..perhaps because hounds of love was her best Album..
I thought The Dreaming was her pinnacle. I love HOL but nothing beats The Dreaming for me
Her most popular album but I wouldn't say it was her best. I'd struggle to pick one but The Dreaming and Aerial come before HOL for me. But they're all good.
i still have to listen all of her albums but i think her best is the sensual world.
@@Coasterdude02149 The same here !!!
Hounds of Love is one of the most artistically successfully realized albums of the 80s. It’s aged extremely well.
Key word for sucess is "hard work" and she took a risk. What a bright girl.
I love how soft spoken she is
I have so many questions and would like her answers about "the ninth wave". "And dream of sheep" is such a haunting, deeply intense song for me and I would love her commentary on this work. The media never asked these questions and typically focused on the questions that made her uncomfortable. Its unfortunate that great artists like Kate are pressed for mundane answers to mainstream questions and not asked questions that they would feel more comfortable and rewarding (at least for the fans) surrounding their art and what their work means to everyone who loves it.
essa mulher me hipinotiza.......
Beautiful in all of the proper ways.
The amount of fantastic talent in the eighties
I just love the way she is so softly spoken, I've always said I love Kate speaking voice as much as her singing! She's the best. By the way, do you have interview she did with Adam Curry?
Beautiful
beautiful woman.
Crazy how back in the 80s not releasing an album for a couple of years was rare and ppl might forget about you, these days in the space of 5 years most bands release 2 mediocre albums (in comparison to 60s, 70s, 80s) and do 2 world tours.
She is such an inspiration and GODDESS!
what a wonderful wonderful artist and person . Another level
12:20 omg the way she says superb melts me lol
You'll like how she sings 'Blow it a kiss now' here 🙂
th-cam.com/video/sV7w5TaYjRA/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=KateBushMusic
Amazing... Great quality
She is fantastic! She’s so careful hear about what she reveals; however, I listen to his songs and I just respond from the words alone, I don’t even have to know what this song is supposed to mean what what film it pays reference too. However, this is interesting to hear what movies she likes or comedians.
She. Looks. Amazing
She sure is lovely 😍 👌
Kate = perfect 10 in every regard
Love her work 🌹
This is pure unintentional ASMR.. her voice is so wonderful
I think i'm in love
Soothing girl
You're welcome! Doesn't she look gorgeous ?
I can not wait to get her Remastered Boxset #1 in the post. I just ordered it !!
I didn't know Kate like the film 'Don't Look Now'. I love that movie too.
That interviewer! "Do you just take drowning in your stride?" "Any plans to start a family?" Eeeekk.
Un génie cette femme 🚺
Absolument. Je suis contente de voir un français.
Why do I get the sense that under that sweet, polite, endearing woman, there is an overpowering force of nature that could just completely engulf and obliterate one?
@Jeff Peate Yes, soul for sure....but something else.. a kind of potency that one usually only feels directly from the power of the earth.
You must have heard her music
She is extraordinary
Kate Bush is everything...
Girl was a natural beauty, not a tart up.
Love, love, love
love! :)
Look at her eyes, my God they can literally kill a man.
She knows all the answers. No bullshit allowed 💁🏻♀️
