Cannot articulate accurately the effect this song has in my life. From a gangly 13 year old falling asleep on the train with this in my ears, to a nearly 50 year old man looking for comfort. Soundtrack well lived.
I hear you.. I'm 50 in September and I first started really getting into her when I was 17 and 18 and I went to see her at the before the dawn show in 2014 on my own 3 rows from the front 3rd of September and I was speechless for 3 hours...her music has carried me...
I like Kate and may have to disagree with that comment. Joni Mitchell and Kate are both brilliant and insightful in their craft and the music they create.
Joni is certainly an incredible artist and songwriter. A couple of her songs can move me to tears. With Kate however, it's dozens of songs, and not just a few tears, she can have me sobbing and howling uncontrollably. @@robertjohnson1602
At 63 now this song has and will always reduce me to tears. The lyrics,subject,Kate's voice are all a bit much. It is simply beautiful. Her early albums represent such a special time in my life. I hadn't listened to Kate's music for quite some time but now I'm back. Who also could forget "Breathing" such a song of the time.
This song might have saved my life. It was early September last year and I reached the lowest point in my life, shocked and dismayed by events reaching back to May that year. I almost did something life threatening to myself but this song kind of pulled me back from the brink, from the edge of the cliff. I love Kate Bush with every last drop of my heart, as a woman and as a great artist ever since I discovered her music as a 12 year old boy. All the love Kate ❤
I hope you are feeling better now...this world is better by having you in it, even though it may not seem like it sometimes...someone, somewhere is thinking about you.
I went to watch a show called "An evening without Kate Bush" and it has changed my life. I knew of Kate Bush growing up but never really felt the vibe back then. Now in 2024 I have fallen in love with this amazing ladies music.
My sister was a life long fan of Kate Bush, thought she was a genius and I can't argue with that. The week before my sister passed I sat with her in the Hospice playing Kate Bush songs, this is what she asked for along with Don't Give Up with Peter Gabriel. Wherever you are Mel I hope you're playing Kate Bush back to back and dancing in the sky with Angels. ❤
I've just seen your post when watching this video. So I hope you get some comfort that everyone who comes across your post knows about you and your sister, bless her.
I sat on the beach some years ago when things weren't going so well. Listening to the radio and this came on. Oddly therapeutic and lifted me out of the gloom. I keep it for those moments now. It's calming and reaches into your soul I guess. I'll shut up now.
This song always breaks my heart. It was my go to song when i was going through some of the worst and vilest abuse in my little young life at the time. I needed to drift away from the experience i was encountering at the moment just so i could survive. I wore the hell out of my Hounds Of Love cassette tape just in the first two years after it's release. I didn't revisit the album until decades later when emi released it as a special booklet with a bonus cd. But I was able to put away those horrible experiences and found joy and love and laughter and because I had survived and I was stronger now, than I was at that time. Thank you, Kate Bush.
not all families actually can be considered a family. like mine. i was an orphan in a family.the emotional and mental abuse was daily, and I was not allowed to say anything... when people say :"family values"~~ I hurl.
@@edwardharley9hi. I'm sorry to hear about your childhood. I hope, no matter where you are in life now, you do like me and consider positive family values a goal to reach for. I had abuse as well. It's never easy but I yearn to never allow that past to be a part of my future. I work with many who have drug issues, and I stress to them, don't look in the rear view mirror, keep looking forward. May God be with you and you with Him. Hold on to hope.
I sometimes find it difficult to listen to her music simply because of the emotional investment it entails.Her music is so powerful that it can be emotionally exhausting and that's not a criticism,I dont know any other artist who can do this.She's amazing.
So many Kate songs can have me reduced to an emotional mess, sobbing uncontrollably, I have to take care when I choose to play them. They touch me so deeply. I love listening to them, but if I'm a little stressed, overtired, feeling a little vulnerable, I can easily collapse in gut-wrenching emotional sorrow/regret/turmoil. Sometimes I do it to myself on purpose, an incredible emotional release. A Woman's Work is an example of one that gets me every time.
Hear you. Floyd is like that for me... she 'trained' with Gilmour. Kate is for special moments, never wanting to 'wear' her out. One cannot just listen or have her in then background. The whole Hounds of Love album is special, esp the Ninth Wave... which as we all know is another album entirely. :P
I am a 25-year-old man. Lost at times, but still fighting. But songs like Miss Kate’s have been my fortress. She’s amazing, and I wish I knew her sooner. Man, I was born in a wrong time!
It always puzzled me that someone so dedicated to her craft, her voice, would smoke? I used to dread thinking one day her voice would be affected. She is an absolute legend. This is the soundtrack to my younger days. ❤
@@phoenixfire83 From what I read in the book "under the ivy", he started smoking at 9 years old ... I quote from the book: "She later said she smoked her first cigarette at the age of nine, and has maintained a love affair with smoking throughout most of her adult life. And although she was never particularly keen on alcohol, she was well aware of drugs and their impact. In one of her unreleased songs, ‘Cussi Cussi’, she sings of getting “really stoned, really amazingly”, and in an 1978 interview in Record Mirror with the novelist-to-be Tim Lott, she was uncharacteristically direct, if not exactly open, about her experiences: ‘She experimented,’ wrote Lott, but “I’ve never taken acid,” said Bush. I don’t think I’m into things like that. I’ve seen a lot of people screwed up through it. The idea of it is really fascinating, though - to be able to see the room breathe, and stuff like that.”"
The original album version is probably the most exquisite vocal I've ever heard, and this version by older Kate in a lower register still sounds fabulous. I've given strict instructions to my daughter to play this at my funeral, otherwise I'll come back and haunt her lol. Yes, I do know what the Ninth Wave suite is all about, but the line "Let me be weak, let me sleep, and dream of sheep" just makes my brain go all wibbly wobbly. Amazing song from what for me, at least, is her best album
I discovered Kate Bush through the Hounds of Love album when I was 11 in 1984. It was the year my father died suddenly and Cloudbusting helped me through. Seeing Kate play live at the Hammersmith Apollo in 2014 from the middle of the 4th row was so emotional. I thought she wouldn't play Cloudbusting when the concert ended ..but she came back and sung it for the encore...an experience I will never forget. Hounds of Love was released in the days well before Spotify when we would listen to whole albums. I always imagined the story she was telling on the Hounds of Love from start to finish and her live performance was exactly how I imagined - "And Dream of Sheep" was so powerful live- in fact, many powerful moments in that show that I will always feel privileged to have experienced. Kate's music got me through the toughest time of my life and will always be in my heart
Kate Bush is the ultimate... in every possible way. A fan from 1978 (I was 12) when Wuthering Heights was released... she is my favourite artist of all time
Kate Bush, in my mind, and lots of other minds, I guess 😊, is a true musical genius, a true legend. A couple years ago I watched a documentary about her and I was glad to learn that she has always been a big star in the UK, pretty much from the very beginning of her career. I wish it would have been the same for her here in the US, not just for her own success, but for all of those who never got the chance to fall in love with her like I did back in 1985 when I first heard Running Up That Hill on mtv I went out and got the Hounds of Love right away and I was totally captivated by the imagery that music created in my mind. Even at the youngish age of 15 I was totally gripped by the emotivenes of her voice and the melodies she sang, im still moved when the sweet tenderness of The Morning Fog kinda comes skipping and hoping in after the dark and scary ride we've just been on during the ninth wave. Not long after getting hounds I picked up the Dreaming, (one of the greatest album covers of all time,btw ❤❤❤😊 such an incredibly beautiful woman), and these two albums are two of my favorites of all time by any artist. I can never decide which one i would take if i could only have one. I don't think enough people appreciate The Dreaming, at least thats the impression i got from the aforementioned documentary I watched, perhaps they do now but not when it was released. But i guess I get how it was so very unique and ahead of its time when it was released. Anyway, I wish I could have been there it must have been amazing. Although I probably would have gotten thrown out by screaming " KATE, I LOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVE YOU!" at the top of my lungs during the first time the music became quiet.😊
After so many years of listening to Kate's music I still get the chills whenever I hear it. She stimulates the listener both intellectually and emotionally, that makes her work a true art.
OMG. I don't think this absolute LEGEND even realises what an impact she has had on the world. This video is an absolute masterpiece. You can just hear the faint intakes of shivering breath as she sings. It's perfect. Almost EXACTLY like the recorded version. This video gives me a whole new perspective of the song. My minds eye for decades had her lying in a field amongst docile ovines. I adore this woman. Absolute legend.
Kate Bush is an absolute angel. She’s one of my favorite artists and i’m so grateful for her music, she’s helped me through so much of my losses. Thank you for being here for me 💛
I absolutely adore this song. It’s just breathtaking, and the video is a dream come to life. Seeing Kate herself in the video for A Dream of Sheep felt so special, especially since she hasn’t appeared in many recent videos. I was lucky enough to be at the Before the Dawn concert in 2014, and it truly was a life-changing experience. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Kate. Now, I can hardly wait for the new album! She announced last week that she’s working on it, and the day it releases will be unforgettable-one of those moments where the world stops just for a bit, and I’ll feel pure joy. Thank you, Kate. I can hardly wait!
Exquisite! When I saw this in the show - I was left breathless. Nobody made a sound and there were tears rolling down so many cheeks. At that precise moment I knew that I was privileged to be part of something quite extraordinary.This has brought it all back. Wow! 💚💜💛
It was powerful. Like a spiritual experience. When she sang Among Angels: I've never seen so many adults silently weeping. I'll never experience anything like it again. Only Kate. X
Totally agree. It was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. I was captivated. When she played Cloudbusting the balcony was bouncing, it was truly lovely incredible and I still can’t think about it without getting a tear in my eye. Thank you Kate Bush x
I also have anxiety and Kate touches me in a way I can't describe either. Blow away moved me so much when I just started listening to her music over a year ago.
This song personifies my brave, beautiful and strong mother. She had just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer before I attended this extraordinary concert in London. I'll never forget it as I wept through the whole thing and I played this stunning song at her funeral. I think of her asking 'let me be weak, let me sleep and dream of sheep' ❤️ She was absolutely exhausted by the cancer but fought it every single day until the end.
Never was a huge Kate Bush "fan", over the years. Respect her vocal chops and songwriting, but couldn't get with the stage musical 'singsongeyness' of a lot of her hits. Then I randomly click on this video, out of morbid curiosity of not having seen Kate or her work in 15+ years. Not even a minute in and tears are welling up. I'm not even consciously thinking about the damn song! No prior exposure to it. Take it from a 'non'-Kate fan: This woman has something otherworldly emoting powerfully from her soul.
Hey, if you want, this song (and the entirety of The Ninth Wave, the concept suite this song is from that the rest of which was performed live at the Hammersmith Apollo in 2014) is taken from side B of the album Hounds of Love. If you want to listen to the whole thing maybe you'd want to check it out. One note though - It's from the mid-80s, back when Kate Bush was much younger, and so her voice is brighter there. So you mightn't like it as much as this version here.
You need to look at her music from Hounds of Love forward. The sing-songiness is at its worst on her second album. I can’t stand that album because of it. The first has some, the third a bit, and the fourth a bit. The fifth onward doesn’t really have that and it comes across as a lot more mature. The fifth album is where this specific song comes from actually. It’s part of the second side of that album, which is a narrative of a woman lost at sea. This is the first song of that side of the album.
Oh my days just heard this song for the first time ever. Powerful beautiful poignant, the emotions it evokes. I have no words. Just beautiful. Kate Bush is truly an artistic genius ❤❤❤❤
Utterly beautiful, her more mature voice absolutely sells this, and the shivering breaths... wow. I can't imagine what this was like to the very lucky audience who got to experience this as part of the show live. Pure magic.
I come here to watch the video and listen to this stunning performance from time to time. It remembers me when I showed this clip to my wife for the first time. She was silence, stunnend and amazed...she even shared some tears. That was over 2 years ago. And god I miss her ervery single god damn day I have to be here without her. In 2018 she lost the fight with cancer. She was allowed to become 43. We have been togehter for 28 years and every day my heart breaks over and over again. Can't wait to be allowed to join here wherever she is now...
Every new song of Kate that I come across keeps getting better than the previous one...I am just stunned wrt the range of subjects she covers and the emotions that she manages to inject into her voice and performance. Utterly captivating.
I've listened to this song for years and loved it's fragility and infinite tenderness, but always thought of it as an abstract song. And it's been up until now that I watch this video that I realize it's true meanning and I am COMPLETELY blown away, it just never occured to me. Thank you forever, sweet beautiful lady
So happy that Kate Bush has released this special video. I wept when I saw it on stage, and it brings a tear to my eye now. Such an authentic performance.
I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've listened to this track. This specific recording incuded... I pulled this one because I was testing new headphones and omg I heard some stuff I've never heard before. The shiver in her voice when she breathes in...
Oh Kate you take me deeper and deeper in this game of life, the way you light up this world even in the darkest of days! I am truly blessed to know your music ❤
And Dream Of Sheep.....so deep...just like all of your music. Born in 68 in Australia you have always resonated with me.... I hope I meet you in our next lifetime. 🙌❤
wow! I've always loved this song, have the album, didn't ever get all the words, but do now. And the older face of Kate here is so immensely powerful, i feel chilled through and through. Thank you so very much for your art! It's been with me most of my life, shaped me, became part of me ... let me be weak now, please!
My favourite Kate Bush song. Of all the nonsense you see journalists write about her, according to those in the know the only real character flaw Kate has is being a perfectionist - which is what makes her such an outstanding artist. Bravo, Kate. Bravo.
Surely this will be buried but I was once lost at sea, several kilometres off the coast of Western Australia, kitesurfing when the wind turned and I was stuck drifting further and further out to sea. When I was about 15 kilometres from the shore (a guess because the shore was no longer visible to me), I made the very hard decision to jettison my kite, my only means of floatation but also wrapping me in lines and being pulled by the wind further out to sea. I floated in the ocean, no idea which way to start swimming, no life vest, only a light wetsuit and a kitesurfing harness around my waist. I decided to swim in the direction where the wind was coming from, since it was strong enough to be spitting off the tops of the chop at me. I alternated strokes between freestyle, breast stroke, backstroke, sculling and resting but after a few hours of this I was absolutely exhausted. I had made good progress from being scared and land was now visible but I was still a good 5 hours swim from the shore. I laid my head back in the water, my ears under the water, it was starting to get dark now, I drifted off to sleep, I needed to rest my muscles. I couldn't keep my eyes open. I wasn't worried about sharks or drowning, I love the ocean, I was here now and this was just a part of my life I had to experience. I was resting for only a moment but I heard bells ringing. Actual bells. Dingly Dingly ding. Dingly Dingly ding. Dingly Dingly - - what?! I fell asleep! I drifted back out to sea. I had lost sight of land, I had lost my bearings and the sun was setting now. I was starting to panic now. I wasn't going to be overdue for a while as I was on a surfing holiday, no one knew I was out today. It would be morning before I was overdue. I started swimming aimlessly on my back. Sculling water past me as I stared at Sirius and Canopus appearing in the night sky. Wait. Sirius and Canopus are in the West at this time of year! I had a bearing now. I kept swimming as I lay on my back, the wind had died down now. I was buoyant enough to not sink, probably aided by the kitesurfing harness. Soon enough, Sigma Octanis was visible, as well as Rigel Kentauris, so I had a true south bearing now too. I maintained my pace for several hours, just watching the stars and slowly swimming back to shore, until my head hit something. Bonk. A crayfish pot float. I looked towards shore and I could see lights now. Flashing lights. It looked like a car on the beach maybe, not unheard of for some of the local beaches with offroad vehicle access. I resumed my pace and continued to swim until it was shallow enough for me to stand, where I slowly trudged up the sand and collapsed on the wet sand in a heap. I woke up to the sound of a 4 wheel drive on the beach, it was still night. Just some people partying on the beach, they had a bonfire going. I crawled towards the fire and fell asleep next to them and their fire. They must have been absolutely amazed at what they were seeing. They saw that I had been through an ordeal and was suffering from hypothermia. They put a blanket on me and moved me a bit further away from the fire and gave me some water and this woman, she must have been a mother because she held me close and I felt so comfortable. She held me close as I fell back to sleep. I had been "lost" at sea for 18 hours. Those people who saved me and kept me warm with their fire? Now you can choose whether you want to believe this part or not. But for me it's what happened. When I woke again, the sun was rising, I was on the dry sand. I was still freezing cold but the sun was warming me up quickly. There was no sign of any people, no 4 wheel drive tracks. No bonfire. No blankets, no people at all. I am sure that I would have died multiple times over if not for several, unexplainable situations. The bells, the lights on the beach, spotting Sirius and Canopus, the bonfire and the people comforting me on the shore. Spirits? Angels? Very tidy and clean good Samaritans who were also on the run from the Law? I go back to that beach once a year and just sit there and watch the sunset over the ocean and think about my life. I am a strong swimmer. I now teach my daughter to be a strong swimmer.
This is an incredible story, there are stories of people who think that the unavoidable would happen in many situations and yet they do not and they find themselves safe.
Beautiful and timeless. In 50 years it will sound as fresh as it does now and did when it was released. The video is comforting and like some hauntingly familiar dream.
A spectacular thing, isn't it? If this doesn't melt your heart, you should, I think, pause for a moment, and perhaps close your eyes, and dream of sheep. I'll bet you will feel a little bit better. Never a bad occurrence. Ms. Bush: your work here: A jewel. A pearl. A rose, A song....and superb, as always. Thank you for the million times you have sung this....and it is still without equal.
As a 14 year old , I watched Kate in awe of her strangeness, then continued almost in isolation to pick up her albums like storybooks, you start at the beginning & then you never quite put the book down. Read & re-read, especially "The Dreaming". I'm 56 now & an accomplished songwriter in my own right, but I never forget or stay far away from the books that inspired a 14 year old Thank You Kate, for the stories & the journeys xx
Whenever I feel down in the dumps I always come to Kate for solace, especially to this song. “Let me be weak, let me sleep” is just what my burnout mind needs right now and I’m glad that Kate made a song for all of us who need a moment of vulnerability and weakness to stay afloat. Thank you, Kate, with tears of gratitute and hope for better days.🥲❤️🩹
Kate Bush is an emotional-artistic genius... But her work takes me to a place that I don't always want to go. I love her for her work, and it is only later in life I realise how much her message transmitted to my soul as a young boy with headphones and a walkman.
Truly legendary, and absolutely unique. She wrote 'the man with the child in his eyes' at 15 and it is as fresh today as this song. Heartrending and genuinely genius.
I cannot describe how emotional this makes me feel. The way her voice has changed with age, and the fragility in her delivery adds such a heartbreaking and melancholy poignancy. This track was always one of my favourites from Hounds, but this version? This version speaks to my soul.
I so agree. For me, it’s like listening to Joni Mitchell sing “Both Sides Now” as a 24 year old and then again, live, as a 54 year old (2000 version) with full orchestra. Both ladies are simply amazing.
kate was my first great love in music. I listened to her music for hours and always found new things that fascinated me. she has enchanted me for years and she simply remains my favorite. the way she plays with the notes and dances to them is unique. the somewhat different music made me dream and feel good. thank you kate for the beautiful wonderful moments i had listening to you^^ your magic is still there
Not many artists would spend 3 days in a water tank singing live just for her fans. A real legend combined with beauty and talent. What more could anyone ask for.
A few months ago someone uploaded to TH-cam a fan recording of the entire The Ninth Wave sequence from the concert. Despite Kate's requests not to film, someone filmed it... and did good! The video has been taken down since then, but it definitely exists somewhere...
Amazing. I’ve just read an interview with Kate talking about filming this. She was in there for hours getting more and more irritated and ended up with mild hyperthermia. A true professional to keep going.
Pure genius. I remember thinking to myself while watching her, "I must remember to breathe!" The next 30 minutes of The Ninth Wave passed in a moment of pleasure. Forever imprinted on my soul. Thank you Cathy x
Kate Bush is the best artist I’ve ever stanned, she is very and extremely dedicated to what she is doing. She deserves all the love in this universe. We love u kate, ur the best.
Such a brilliant show... everything! First, KATE BUSH. Live. The voice. Just... wonderful! Then, that band. What a band. The lighting, took your breath away; not just the more theatrical bits but in the Kate + band performance at the beginning, blew your socks off. The screens... the bells... the blackbird... helicopter! A tree through the piano! So glad I was able to see it. Floated the 30-odd tube stops home with a carriage full of singing, tear stained, happy people. Never known anything like it and SO wish I could see it again.
The memories, yes! I remember leaving and walking up Shepherds Bush road in a daze, just wondering what I had just witnessed. Easily the best concerts I have ever attended, and I have seen hundreds in my day.
Concerts - as in you went more than once? Oh you lucky lucky person, I'm heartbroken, I live in Shepherds Bush but was in hospital at the time - I so wish Kate would release a dvd *sob*
First time I saw this I thought it was awesome. Then I heard (and had it confirmed) that this was all done live in a tank, and now I have changed my mind. This is astonishing! The last moment sends chills on every inch of skin...
Habe Kate jetzt länger nicht gehört, aber diese Platte Hounds of love in den 80gern hatte mich komplett weg gehauen. Und alleine dieses Video weil vorgeschlagen fängt mich wieder. Welch wundervolle Stimme und Musik. Grüße von einem ,,Rammsteiner". 😊
I loved Kate's music from the first few singles,when I was 20, but lost touch,for various reasons.This week I bought 3 albums I'd missed and I'm 61 soon.omg such beauty to discover,a joy forever.You've always been there,Kate.x
What could one say. I've always loved the album and the song since it came out. Imagine to have that much creativity and beauty. Struck when the muse strikes the artist. It's late my way at 3am. Kate please do more music wherever you might be at this hour. Muse find her. Let me then be weak. Let me sleep and dream of sheep. A goodnight to all.
I remember crying my eyes out during this film in the concert :D I wish we could've had the live dvd, because it was one of the best days of my life to be able to see the concert. The dvd would help me to remember all the beautiful details of it all, that i can't remember so well anymore. Anyway i'm glad we got this video
Woah you're so lucky to have seen her, I really hope she feels like doing another one. I didn't get the chance to go and see her. She's such a clever lady.
Emma Hynes I didn't get a ticket when they went on sale, but i kept checking the page everyday. Then they released a couple of tickets and i was super lucky to get one. But for some reason a seat next to me was empty at the concert. I dont know if somebody was ill and couldn't make it, or if there was some mixup on the site. One more person could have expirienced that magical night :/ I went to London alone from Finland to see Kate :p My friends don't care that much for Kate's music :D
Joona Ikonen All the way from Finland! That's awesome. I found her music too late it was just after her concert. She's guided me through tough times and I will always love her for that. If I only I could time travel 🙂🙂
Just beautiful- I am thrilled she has chosen to make a live album so we can all experience a liittle of the magic of those shows in 2014. I am as in love with her music today as I was 30 years ago.
I was lucky enough to get to see this amazing show and was sat four rows from the front! I have been a Kate Bush fan from about 17! Due to my aunt and uncle who were both twins and have now unfortunately passed away! I came down from Lancashire on my own to see it! I still can't believe that I actually got to see her live! However I had always said that if she did anything that I would be there!
Cannot articulate accurately the effect this song has in my life. From a gangly 13 year old falling asleep on the train with this in my ears, to a nearly 50 year old man looking for comfort. Soundtrack well lived.
❤️
Fall into the comfort of our stillness.....our being that needs nothing....all passes.
I hear you..
I'm 50 in September and I first started really getting into her when I was 17 and 18 and I went to see her at the before the dawn show in 2014 on my own 3 rows from the front 3rd of September and I was speechless for 3 hours...her music has carried me...
Snap, you described me
@@bfgsteve6146 and me....❤
Her emotional intelligence is unmatched, her artistry and integrity beyond reproach.
I like Kate and may have to disagree with that comment. Joni Mitchell and Kate are both brilliant and insightful in their craft and the music they create.
Joni is certainly an incredible artist and songwriter. A couple of her songs can move me to tears. With Kate however, it's dozens of songs, and not just a few tears, she can have me sobbing and howling uncontrollably. @@robertjohnson1602
At 63 now this song has and will always reduce me to tears. The lyrics,subject,Kate's voice are all a bit much. It is simply beautiful. Her early albums represent such a special time in my life. I hadn't listened to Kate's music for quite some time but now I'm back. Who also could forget "Breathing" such a song of the time.
Her soprano voice was very beautiful, but her mezzo soprano of today is absolutely amazing!
Yeah, I knew that video was shown during the concert.
yes, and i say the same about Joni Mitchell.
This song might have saved my life. It was early September last year and I reached the lowest point in my life, shocked and dismayed by events reaching back to May that year. I almost did something life threatening to myself but this song kind of pulled me back from the brink, from the edge of the cliff. I love Kate Bush with every last drop of my heart, as a woman and as a great artist ever since I discovered her music as a 12 year old boy. All the love Kate ❤
I hope things are brighter for you now x
I hope you are feeling better now...this world is better by having you in it, even though it may not seem like it sometimes...someone, somewhere is thinking about you.
I went to watch a show called "An evening without Kate Bush" and it has changed my life. I knew of Kate Bush growing up but never really felt the vibe back then. Now in 2024 I have fallen in love with this amazing ladies music.
This is such a great show and I have been a long Kate Bush fan.
My sister was a life long fan of Kate Bush, thought she was a genius and I can't argue with that. The week before my sister passed I sat with her in the Hospice playing Kate Bush songs, this is what she asked for along with Don't Give Up with Peter Gabriel. Wherever you are Mel I hope you're playing Kate Bush back to back and dancing in the sky with Angels. ❤
Mel had the right spirit... Hang in there!
@@jandejongh ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've just seen your post when watching this video. So I hope you get some comfort that everyone who comes across your post knows about you and your sister, bless her.
I sat on the beach some years ago when things weren't going so well. Listening to the radio and this came on. Oddly therapeutic and lifted me out of the gloom. I keep it for those moments now. It's calming and reaches into your soul I guess. I'll shut up now.
This song always breaks my heart. It was my go to song when i was going through some of the worst and vilest abuse in my little young life at the time. I needed to drift away from the experience i was encountering at the moment just so i could survive. I wore the hell out of my Hounds Of Love cassette tape just in the first two years after it's release. I didn't revisit the album until decades later when emi released it as a special booklet with a bonus cd. But I was able to put away those horrible experiences and found joy and love and laughter and because I had survived and I was stronger now, than I was at that time. Thank you, Kate Bush.
♥️♥️♥️
Same ❤❤❤❤❤
not all families actually can be considered a family. like mine. i was an orphan in a family.the emotional and mental abuse was daily, and I was not allowed to say anything... when people say :"family values"~~
I hurl.
You do not deserve the pain you have felt. You’re a gift.
@@edwardharley9hi. I'm sorry to hear about your childhood. I hope, no matter where you are in life now, you do like me and consider positive family values a goal to reach for. I had abuse as well. It's never easy but I yearn to never allow that past to be a part of my future. I work with many who have drug issues, and I stress to them, don't look in the rear view mirror, keep looking forward. May God be with you and you with Him. Hold on to hope.
I sometimes find it difficult to listen to her music simply because of the emotional investment it entails.Her music is so powerful that it can be emotionally exhausting and that's not a criticism,I dont know any other artist who can do this.She's amazing.
I know exactly what you mean. There will NEVER be an artist like Kate that brings out all these emotions. She is truly amazing
So many Kate songs can have me reduced to an emotional mess, sobbing uncontrollably, I have to take care when I choose to play them. They touch me so deeply. I love listening to them, but if I'm a little stressed, overtired, feeling a little vulnerable, I can easily collapse in gut-wrenching emotional sorrow/regret/turmoil. Sometimes I do it to myself on purpose, an incredible emotional release. A Woman's Work is an example of one that gets me every time.
Hear you. Floyd is like that for me... she 'trained' with Gilmour. Kate is for special moments, never wanting to 'wear' her out. One cannot just listen or have her in then background. The whole Hounds of Love album is special, esp the Ninth Wave... which as we all know is another album entirely. :P
I play some of her music and just cry it’s exhausting I sometimes have to avoid some songs because of the impact
so true
I am a 25-year-old man. Lost at times, but still fighting. But songs like Miss Kate’s have been my fortress. She’s amazing, and I wish I knew her sooner. Man, I was born in a wrong time!
I’m a man of 54, and I believe I’ll always be lost
I am 63 and I am lost …… again 😱
Life is up and down and lost and found…keep seeking yourself. ❤
22 and absolutely love her music. Music has no age. You have good taste.
I have been lost... Forever and still I swim through the world seeing all... Feeling too much.. lately feeling less than ever... I sleep...long
Oh, Kate- if you only knew how your music's been a life vest over the years.
@Another World I agree - Thank you. I am tearing up - thank you.
What a wonderful comment, I know exactly what you mean.
the absolute truth
Gorgeous comment. My sentiments exactly.
Dave Jones: nonsense
This woman is just extraordinary.
My God, nobody moves me like Kate does, her music permeates my soul❤
Lindsay Kemp would like a word with you. He taught her by the way,
I adore Kate's deep, aged voice. She's given us so many wonderful octaves.
It always puzzled me that someone so dedicated to her craft, her voice, would smoke? I used to dread thinking one day her voice would be affected. She is an absolute legend. This is the soundtrack to my younger days. ❤
@@RubyTwilite She quit smoking in 2001. Her deeper voice is simple maturation.
@@katejonimartina It can still have an effect on the vocal chords, I mean who knows how long she was smoking for.
@Joshua Hahn I think her aged tone reaches one of its best in ‘Misty’. Since I discovered that record I always fall asleep with that ‘roll his body..’
@@phoenixfire83 From what I read in the book "under the ivy", he started smoking at 9 years old ... I quote from the book: "She later said she smoked her first cigarette at the age of nine, and has maintained a love affair with smoking throughout most of her adult life. And although she was never particularly keen on alcohol, she was well aware of drugs and their impact. In one of her unreleased songs, ‘Cussi Cussi’, she sings of getting “really stoned, really amazingly”, and in an 1978 interview in Record Mirror with the novelist-to-be Tim Lott, she was uncharacteristically direct, if not exactly open, about her experiences: ‘She experimented,’ wrote Lott, but “I’ve never taken acid,” said Bush. I don’t think I’m into things like that. I’ve seen a lot of people screwed up through it. The idea of it is really fascinating, though - to be able to see the room breathe, and stuff like that.”"
The original album version is probably the most exquisite vocal I've ever heard, and this version by older Kate in a lower register still sounds fabulous. I've given strict instructions to my daughter to play this at my funeral, otherwise I'll come back and haunt her lol.
Yes, I do know what the Ninth Wave suite is all about, but the line "Let me be weak, let me sleep, and dream of sheep" just makes my brain go all wibbly wobbly.
Amazing song from what for me, at least, is her best album
My nominated funeral track also
It makes me cry, and I don't know why.
Hopefully she won't have to follow your instructions for a very long time
@@Ettrick8 cheers, what a lovely thing to say 👍🏼
Her most exquisite piece is wordless. "One Last Look Around The House Before We Go".
I discovered Kate Bush through the Hounds of Love album when I was 11 in 1984. It was the year my father died suddenly and Cloudbusting helped me through. Seeing Kate play live at the Hammersmith Apollo in 2014 from the middle of the 4th row was so emotional. I thought she wouldn't play Cloudbusting when the concert ended ..but she came back and sung it for the encore...an experience I will never forget.
Hounds of Love was released in the days well before Spotify when we would listen to whole albums. I always imagined the story she was telling on the Hounds of Love from start to finish and her live performance was exactly how I imagined - "And Dream of Sheep" was so powerful live- in fact, many powerful moments in that show that I will always feel privileged to have experienced.
Kate's music got me through the toughest time of my life and will always be in my heart
Omg so sad and beautiful ❤
It's both a curse and such a blessing to be a human isn't it?
Take care
Absolute genius.
Fact .
absolute - nothing to lose .. same thing i guess :)
truely unique genius and inspirational
instablaster.
I agree wholeheartedly with you.
Sad, dark, brilliant and evocative. Kate Bush is truly a unique gift, mystical and magical, and vocally mesmerizing.
I was a young soldier in Germany no family her voice was comforting like a mothers ❤
I can't believe this music video is a LIVE PERFORMANCE! This is such a boss and elite calibre of an artist!! Princess Kate Bush!!!
Kate Bush is the ultimate... in every possible way. A fan from 1978 (I was 12) when Wuthering Heights was released... she is my favourite artist of all time
Kate Bush, in my mind, and lots of other minds, I guess 😊, is a true musical genius, a true legend.
A couple years ago I watched a documentary about her and I was glad to learn that she has always been a big star in the UK, pretty much from the very beginning of her career. I wish it would have been the same for her here in the US, not just for her own success, but for all of those who never got the chance to fall in love with her like I did back in 1985 when I first heard Running Up That Hill on mtv I went out and got the Hounds of Love right away and I was totally captivated by the imagery that music created in my mind. Even at the youngish age of 15 I was totally gripped by the emotivenes of her voice and the melodies she sang, im still moved when the sweet tenderness of The Morning Fog kinda comes skipping and hoping in after the dark and scary ride we've just been on during the ninth wave. Not long after getting hounds I picked up the Dreaming, (one of the greatest album covers of all time,btw ❤❤❤😊 such an incredibly beautiful woman), and these two albums are two of my favorites of all time by any artist. I can never decide which one i would take if i could only have one. I don't think enough people appreciate The Dreaming, at least thats the impression i got from the aforementioned documentary I watched, perhaps they do now but not when it was released. But i guess I get how it was so very unique and ahead of its time when it was released. Anyway, I wish I could have been there it must have been amazing. Although I probably would have gotten thrown out by screaming " KATE, I LOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVE YOU!" at the top of my lungs during the first time the music became quiet.😊
After so many years of listening to Kate's music I still get the chills whenever I hear it. She stimulates the listener both intellectually and emotionally, that makes her work a true art.
The intro to Wow still gives me the shivers even in 2021
@ Nellie S You put it beautifully and I'm happy you discovered Kate at such a young age. I greet you from Poland. 😃
OMG. I don't think this absolute LEGEND even realises what an impact she has had on the world. This video is an absolute masterpiece. You can just hear the faint intakes of shivering breath as she sings. It's perfect. Almost EXACTLY like the recorded version. This video gives me a whole new perspective of the song. My minds eye for decades had her lying in a field amongst docile ovines. I adore this woman. Absolute legend.
"like poppies, heavy with seed."
I had the same "field" imagery... but now that I've seen this, "Under Ice" makes so much more sense.
She does it every time. the first few bars always choke me up..love her
A National treasure indeed. The World needs Kate Bush! She is a wonder in her own right x
Those shivering intakes of breath. Man...
Kate Bush is an absolute angel. She’s one of my favorite artists and i’m so grateful for her music, she’s helped me through so much of my losses. Thank you for being here for me 💛
You know it
One of a kind. She is a gift to humanity.
I absolutely adore this song. It’s just breathtaking, and the video is a dream come to life. Seeing Kate herself in the video for A Dream of Sheep felt so special, especially since she hasn’t appeared in many recent videos. I was lucky enough to be at the Before the Dawn concert in 2014, and it truly was a life-changing experience. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Kate. Now, I can hardly wait for the new album! She announced last week that she’s working on it, and the day it releases will be unforgettable-one of those moments where the world stops just for a bit, and I’ll feel pure joy. Thank you, Kate. I can hardly wait!
Ma mère, gravement malade, était proche de la mort . Je vous écoutais encore et encore .
Merci à vous , Kate de m’avoir accompagné dans mes sanglots ❤
i hope when i close my eyes for the last time on earth and take my last breath
this video is playing in my subconscious mind
hauntingly beautiful
Brett Gundry nah, I want to be in the woods with Kate in “The Sensual World” video.
That song absolutely kills me.
sir, you made me cry
OK... who's chopping the damn onions? ;)
Damn, mate. Me too.
heavenly way to die 😢❤️
Exquisite! When I saw this in the show - I was left breathless. Nobody made a sound and there were tears rolling down so many cheeks. At that precise moment I knew that I was privileged to be part of something quite extraordinary.This has brought it all back. Wow! 💚💜💛
It was powerful. Like a spiritual experience. When she sang Among Angels: I've never seen so many adults silently weeping. I'll never experience anything like it again. Only Kate. X
Not a dry eye. I made it there from Australia. It was truly incredible
That must've been magical...
Totally agree. It was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. I was captivated. When she played Cloudbusting the balcony was bouncing, it was truly lovely incredible and I still can’t think about it without getting a tear in my eye. Thank you Kate Bush x
Unbelievable 😊
Kate Bush beautiful and mysterious as always. No other artist will ever come close to this beautiful and talented woman.
I've been struggling with very bad anxiety lately, and this touched me in a way I can't describe
I also have anxiety and Kate touches me in a way I can't describe either. Blow away moved me so much when I just started listening to her music over a year ago.
This song makes me cry as my brother was late bush fan he died Dec 14, I love this song her voice is so moving.
seconded. let me be weak...
I feel the same, listening to this is the first time I felt relaxed in days
Sorry for your loss. That song is gorgeous
This song personifies my brave, beautiful and strong mother. She had just been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer before I attended this extraordinary concert in London. I'll never forget it as I wept through the whole thing and I played this stunning song at her funeral. I think of her asking 'let me be weak, let me sleep and dream of sheep' ❤️ She was absolutely exhausted by the cancer but fought it every single day until the end.
❤
Never was a huge Kate Bush "fan", over the years. Respect her vocal chops and songwriting, but couldn't get with the stage musical 'singsongeyness' of a lot of her hits. Then I randomly click on this video, out of morbid curiosity of not having seen Kate or her work in 15+ years. Not even a minute in and tears are welling up. I'm not even consciously thinking about the damn song! No prior exposure to it. Take it from a 'non'-Kate fan: This woman has something otherworldly emoting powerfully from her soul.
Hey, if you want, this song (and the entirety of The Ninth Wave, the concept suite this song is from that the rest of which was performed live at the Hammersmith Apollo in 2014) is taken from side B of the album Hounds of Love. If you want to listen to the whole thing maybe you'd want to check it out.
One note though - It's from the mid-80s, back when Kate Bush was much younger, and so her voice is brighter there. So you mightn't like it as much as this version here.
Yes, this is one of my favourites of hers. Beautiful.
You need to look at her music from Hounds of Love forward. The sing-songiness is at its worst on her second album. I can’t stand that album because of it. The first has some, the third a bit, and the fourth a bit. The fifth onward doesn’t really have that and it comes across as a lot more mature. The fifth album is where this specific song comes from actually. It’s part of the second side of that album, which is a narrative of a woman lost at sea. This is the first song of that side of the album.
If you don't like "singsongeyness," then the Ninth Wave... and album The Dreaming are well worth checking out.
A stunning piece of music that stood out from the album and stayed with me ever since.
Oh my days just heard this song for the first time ever. Powerful beautiful poignant, the emotions it evokes. I have no words. Just beautiful. Kate Bush is truly an artistic genius ❤❤❤❤
Utterly beautiful, her more mature voice absolutely sells this, and the shivering breaths... wow. I can't imagine what this was like to the very lucky audience who got to experience this as part of the show live. Pure magic.
I come here to watch the video and listen to this stunning performance from time to time. It remembers me when I showed this clip to my wife for the first time. She was silence, stunnend and amazed...she even shared some tears. That was over 2 years ago. And god I miss her ervery single god damn day I have to be here without her. In 2018 she lost the fight with cancer. She was allowed to become 43. We have been togehter for 28 years and every day my heart breaks over and over again. Can't wait to be allowed to join here wherever she is now...
beyond gorgeous
She is beautiful and the way she presents her music and her voice differences is gorgeous !
@Lindsay Bly Kate Bush And Dream Of Sheep is one of my favorite song
Every new song of Kate that I come across keeps getting better than the previous one...I am just stunned wrt the range of subjects she covers and the emotions that she manages to inject into her voice and performance.
Utterly captivating.
Yes, she is wonderful. Have you seen the music video of her “Moments Of Pleasure” yet? That is probably her most heartfelt, beautiful & profound song.
This is remastered, both versions are beautiful ´, but as I grow older, I love her updated versions.
This is more beautiful now, thank you Kate Bush.
This women is untouchable.
I've listened to this song for years and loved it's fragility and infinite tenderness, but always thought of it as an abstract song. And it's been up until now that I watch this video that I realize it's true meanning and I am COMPLETELY blown away, it just never occured to me.
Thank you forever, sweet beautiful lady
So happy that Kate Bush has released this special video. I wept when I saw it on stage, and it brings a tear to my eye now. Such an authentic performance.
TheCelestialSon Please go to my channel if you want the lyrics of this video!
Did many people cry during the concert?
garry bgood I cried and cried. I couldn’t see anyone who didn’t at some point. It was a very profound experience.
Absolute legend. Glad she is getting more recognition so many years later.
I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've listened to this track. This specific recording incuded... I pulled this one because I was testing new headphones and omg I heard some stuff I've never heard before. The shiver in her voice when she breathes in...
I Love Her...Her Music, Her Voice, Her Beauty, Her.
Been in love since 1982
me too ....
Oh Kate you take me deeper and deeper in this game of life, the way you light up this world even in the darkest of days! I am truly blessed to know your music ❤
"Moving liquid, yes, you are just as water
You flow around all that comes in your way" I love this lady.
As a university student and semi pro musician: I used to return home exhausted and put on my headphones and listen to this very song! Brilliant days!
I hadn't listened to this version in years now... Made me cry like the first time. Speechless.
And Dream Of Sheep.....so deep...just like all of your music. Born in 68 in Australia you have always resonated with me.... I hope I meet you in our next lifetime. 🙌❤
wow! I've always loved this song, have the album, didn't ever get all the words, but do now. And the older face of Kate here is so immensely powerful, i feel chilled through and through. Thank you so very much for your art! It's been with me most of my life, shaped me, became part of me ... let me be weak now, please!
There is no older face of Kate. This is Kate
Always wells me up. So beautifully moving Xxx 🙂
My favourite Kate Bush song. Of all the nonsense you see journalists write about her, according to those in the know the only real character flaw Kate has is being a perfectionist - which is what makes her such an outstanding artist. Bravo, Kate. Bravo.
I saw her in concert, and this was played, just like this, as a film. In front of us, about 5 feet away was Annie Lennox. It was just a magical trip.
Surely this will be buried but I was once lost at sea, several kilometres off the coast of Western Australia, kitesurfing when the wind turned and I was stuck drifting further and further out to sea.
When I was about 15 kilometres from the shore (a guess because the shore was no longer visible to me), I made the very hard decision to jettison my kite, my only means of floatation but also wrapping me in lines and being pulled by the wind further out to sea.
I floated in the ocean, no idea which way to start swimming, no life vest, only a light wetsuit and a kitesurfing harness around my waist. I decided to swim in the direction where the wind was coming from, since it was strong enough to be spitting off the tops of the chop at me.
I alternated strokes between freestyle, breast stroke, backstroke, sculling and resting but after a few hours of this I was absolutely exhausted. I had made good progress from being scared and land was now visible but I was still a good 5 hours swim from the shore.
I laid my head back in the water, my ears under the water, it was starting to get dark now, I drifted off to sleep, I needed to rest my muscles. I couldn't keep my eyes open.
I wasn't worried about sharks or drowning, I love the ocean, I was here now and this was just a part of my life I had to experience.
I was resting for only a moment but I heard bells ringing. Actual bells. Dingly Dingly ding.
Dingly Dingly ding.
Dingly Dingly - - what?!
I fell asleep! I drifted back out to sea. I had lost sight of land, I had lost my bearings and the sun was setting now.
I was starting to panic now. I wasn't going to be overdue for a while as I was on a surfing holiday, no one knew I was out today. It would be morning before I was overdue.
I started swimming aimlessly on my back. Sculling water past me as I stared at Sirius and Canopus appearing in the night sky.
Wait. Sirius and Canopus are in the West at this time of year!
I had a bearing now. I kept swimming as I lay on my back, the wind had died down now. I was buoyant enough to not sink, probably aided by the kitesurfing harness.
Soon enough, Sigma Octanis was visible, as well as Rigel Kentauris, so I had a true south bearing now too.
I maintained my pace for several hours, just watching the stars and slowly swimming back to shore, until my head hit something.
Bonk.
A crayfish pot float.
I looked towards shore and I could see lights now. Flashing lights. It looked like a car on the beach maybe, not unheard of for some of the local beaches with offroad vehicle access.
I resumed my pace and continued to swim until it was shallow enough for me to stand, where I slowly trudged up the sand and collapsed on the wet sand in a heap.
I woke up to the sound of a 4 wheel drive on the beach, it was still night. Just some people partying on the beach, they had a bonfire going. I crawled towards the fire and fell asleep next to them and their fire.
They must have been absolutely amazed at what they were seeing.
They saw that I had been through an ordeal and was suffering from hypothermia. They put a blanket on me and moved me a bit further away from the fire and gave me some water and this woman, she must have been a mother because she held me close and I felt so comfortable. She held me close as I fell back to sleep.
I had been "lost" at sea for 18 hours.
Those people who saved me and kept me warm with their fire?
Now you can choose whether you want to believe this part or not. But for me it's what happened.
When I woke again, the sun was rising, I was on the dry sand. I was still freezing cold but the sun was warming me up quickly.
There was no sign of any people, no 4 wheel drive tracks. No bonfire. No blankets, no people at all.
I am sure that I would have died multiple times over if not for several, unexplainable situations. The bells, the lights on the beach, spotting Sirius and Canopus, the bonfire and the people comforting me on the shore.
Spirits? Angels? Very tidy and clean good Samaritans who were also on the run from the Law?
I go back to that beach once a year and just sit there and watch the sunset over the ocean and think about my life.
I am a strong swimmer. I now teach my daughter to be a strong swimmer.
What an absolutely incredible story. Thanks for relaying it to us. You're an incredible person. Amazing to read stories of survivors. Well done.
This is an incredible story, there are stories of people who think that the unavoidable would happen in many situations and yet they do not and they find themselves safe.
An absolutely amazing story, and all the time I can hear Kate Bush in the background singing let me sleep…..
Beautiful and timeless. In 50 years it will sound as fresh as it does now and did when it was released. The video is comforting and like some hauntingly familiar dream.
Truly a genius.
A spectacular thing, isn't it?
If this doesn't melt your heart, you should, I think, pause for a moment, and perhaps close your eyes, and dream of sheep.
I'll bet you will feel a little bit better. Never a bad occurrence. Ms. Bush: your work here:
A jewel. A pearl. A rose, A song....and superb, as always.
Thank you for the million times you have sung this....and it is still without equal.
As a 14 year old , I watched Kate in awe of her strangeness, then continued almost in isolation to pick up her albums like storybooks, you start at the beginning & then you never quite put the book down. Read & re-read, especially "The Dreaming".
I'm 56 now & an accomplished songwriter in my own right, but I never forget or stay far away from the books that inspired a 14 year old
Thank You Kate, for the stories & the journeys xx
It’s so sad that I’ve not listened to Kate for the longest time. Thank you Stranger Things, I’m back now, and loving her all over again 🥰🥰🥰
Same. I listened to her quite a bit in the 80s, but have moved on. Time to revisit her music.
_Lost on the waves...._ a beautiful atmospheric masterpiece by Kate!!
Whenever I feel down in the dumps I always come to Kate for solace, especially to this song. “Let me be weak, let me sleep” is just what my burnout mind needs right now and I’m glad that Kate made a song for all of us who need a moment of vulnerability and weakness to stay afloat. Thank you, Kate, with tears of gratitute and hope for better days.🥲❤️🩹
Kate Bush is an emotional-artistic genius... But her work takes me to a place that I don't always want to go. I love her for her work, and it is only later in life I realise how much her message transmitted to my soul as a young boy with headphones and a walkman.
Great to rewatch this... the Hammersmith concert was simply stunning!
Truly legendary, and absolutely unique. She wrote 'the man with the child in his eyes' at 15 and it is as fresh today as this song. Heartrending and genuinely genius.
I cannot describe how emotional this makes me feel. The way her voice has changed with age, and the fragility in her delivery adds such a heartbreaking and melancholy poignancy. This track was always one of my favourites from Hounds, but this version? This version speaks to my soul.
I so agree. For me, it’s like listening to Joni Mitchell sing “Both Sides Now” as a 24 year old and then again, live, as a 54 year old (2000 version) with full orchestra. Both ladies are simply amazing.
I think the whole audience cried during this….so authentic so touching
kate was my first great love in music. I listened to her music for hours and always found new things that fascinated me. she has enchanted me for years and she simply remains my favorite. the way she plays with the notes and dances to them is unique. the somewhat different music made me dream and feel good. thank you kate for the beautiful wonderful moments i had listening to you^^ your magic is still there
Not many artists would spend 3 days in a water tank singing live just for her fans. A real legend combined with beauty and talent. What more could anyone ask for.
Imagine a full video for the entirety of the Ninth Wave sequence tho
If only...
Well... if she would only release the Ninth Wave Live as a video! That was a spectacular show.
From what she just said in an interview I am not sure she will ever release this concert on DVD
A few months ago someone uploaded to TH-cam a fan recording of the entire The Ninth Wave sequence from the concert. Despite Kate's requests not to film, someone filmed it... and did good! The video has been taken down since then, but it definitely exists somewhere...
That would be something else.
This song somehow reaches into the very core of my emotional experience and touches the essence of who I am. Astonishing and sometimes overwhelming.
Truly phenomeonal. This artist is beyond words. I adore her work and respect her immensely.
Amazing. I’ve just read an interview with Kate talking about filming this. She was in there for hours getting more and more irritated and ended up with mild hyperthermia. A true professional to keep going.
Hypothermia more likely
Pure genius. I remember thinking to myself while watching her, "I must remember to breathe!" The next 30 minutes of The Ninth Wave passed in a moment of pleasure. Forever imprinted on my soul. Thank you Cathy x
How beautiful is this? Words cant describe how wonderful it is. Emotional heaven.
Kate Bush is the best artist I’ve ever stanned, she is very and extremely dedicated to what she is doing. She deserves all the love in this universe. We love u kate, ur the best.
Wonderful Kate 👏 What a true & real artist you are 🙏🏻
Such a brilliant show... everything! First, KATE BUSH. Live. The voice. Just... wonderful! Then, that band. What a band. The lighting, took your breath away; not just the more theatrical bits but in the Kate + band performance at the beginning, blew your socks off. The screens... the bells... the blackbird... helicopter! A tree through the piano! So glad I was able to see it. Floated the 30-odd tube stops home with a carriage full of singing, tear stained, happy people. Never known anything like it and SO wish I could see it again.
The memories, yes! I remember leaving and walking up Shepherds Bush road in a daze, just wondering what I had just witnessed. Easily the best concerts I have ever attended, and I have seen hundreds in my day.
Concerts - as in you went more than once? Oh you lucky lucky person, I'm heartbroken, I live in Shepherds Bush but was in hospital at the time - I so wish Kate would release a dvd *sob*
I can't handle it. Still. All of these years. I still can't.
i can’t thank Kate enough for everything, she’s truly saved me which is why she’s my heroine. I adore her
First time I saw this I thought it was awesome. Then I heard (and had it confirmed) that this was all done live in a tank, and now I have changed my mind. This is astonishing! The last moment sends chills on every inch of skin...
Habe Kate jetzt länger nicht gehört, aber diese Platte Hounds of love in den 80gern hatte mich komplett weg gehauen. Und alleine dieses Video weil vorgeschlagen fängt mich wieder. Welch wundervolle Stimme und Musik. Grüße von einem ,,Rammsteiner". 😊
Absolutely sublime. Welcome back, Kate! You have been missed.
Beyond any other artist .Unique and amazing Kate.
Wherever you are Kate thank you for your songs that have always been my go to in troubled times, I miss you and your wonderful voice x
She is absolutely fabulous.
Though aged, her voice is still beautiful and haunting. Amazing Kate.
In my Top 2 Kate Bush songs.
I loved Kate's music from the first few singles,when I was 20, but lost touch,for various reasons.This week I bought 3 albums I'd missed and I'm 61 soon.omg such beauty to discover,a joy forever.You've always been there,Kate.x
the whole 9th Wave is my personal masterpiece of music. Happy to meet you over and over again Kate
What could one say. I've always loved the album and the song since it came out. Imagine to have that much creativity and beauty. Struck when the muse strikes the artist. It's late my way at 3am. Kate please do more music wherever you might be at this hour. Muse find her. Let me then be weak. Let me sleep and dream of sheep. A goodnight to all.
I remember crying my eyes out during this film in the concert :D I wish we could've had the live dvd, because it was one of the best days of my life to be able to see the concert. The dvd would help me to remember all the beautiful details of it all, that i can't remember so well anymore. Anyway i'm glad we got this video
Woah you're so lucky to have seen her, I really hope she feels like doing another one. I didn't get the chance to go and see her. She's such a clever lady.
Me too. I was sobbing like a baby.
Emma Hynes I didn't get a ticket when they went on sale, but i kept checking the page everyday. Then they released a couple of tickets and i was super lucky to get one. But for some reason a seat next to me was empty at the concert. I dont know if somebody was ill and couldn't make it, or if there was some mixup on the site. One more person could have expirienced that magical night :/ I went to London alone from Finland to see Kate :p My friends don't care that much for Kate's music :D
Joona Ikonen All the way from Finland! That's awesome. I found her music too late it was just after her concert. She's guided me through tough times and I will always love her for that. If I only I could time travel 🙂🙂
Never say never, just allow a bit of time for the live album to be appreciated and maybe in time the film will come along.
Just beautiful- I am thrilled she has chosen to make a live album so we can all experience a liittle of the magic of those shows in 2014. I am as in love with her music today as I was 30 years ago.
I was lucky enough to get to see this amazing show and was sat four rows from the front! I have been a Kate Bush fan from about 17! Due to my aunt and uncle who were both twins and have now unfortunately passed away! I came down from Lancashire on my own to see it! I still can't believe that I actually got to see her live! However I had always said that if she did anything that I would be there!
