Glad to see you reacting to Kate Bush my man. I'm 100% serious when I say she is pretty much a female David Bowie. Please check out "Babooshka" (you'll love that one), "Wow", "Breathing", "Army Dreamers", and "Symphony in Blue" by her.
Kate Bush is an unsettling crush isn't she lol...It's a 'do I'...'Dont I?' thing...she is like some intangible, distant, sensual, earthy but awe inspiring fascination... I always thought Neenah Cherry had a similar feel to her...weirdly.
Whenever I hear this song, I think of my son who died at age 27. I know this song isn’t about this, but the lines “if I only could make a deal with God and get him to swap our places, be running up that road, be running up that hill, with no problems” speak to me profoundly.
Kate Bush saved me , when I got out of the Marines I had endured a lot of mental and physical trauma, this album in particular. Took me away from it and hid me. I wish I could thank Kate in person.
I think Kate saved a lot of people. For me, it speaks of depression. How it feels, how no one can ever really understand it unless they went through it. I’m glad you found something to anchor you here. 🌸
Kate shared the songs meaning👇 “I was trying to say that, really, a man and a woman, can’t understand each other because we are a man and a woman. And if we could actually swap each other’s roles, if we could actually be in each other’s place for a while, I think we’d both be very surprised! And I think it would be led to a greater understanding. And really the only way I could think it could be done was either … you know, I thought a deal with the devil, you know. And I thought, ‘Well, no, why not a deal with God!’ You know, because in a way it’s so much more powerful, the whole idea of asking God to make a deal with you."
If this was written today, hardcore feminists would be all over it attacking this idea that a man and woman can never be truly equal or even the idea of being a man in general.
@@SilentAssassin01234 This is a gross misinterpretation. They do not say men and women are the same. All they advocate for is equity, i.e. having the same opportunities.
@@Astro-Markus I am not saying all feminists. I am saying hardcore feminists who go overboard and actually want special treatment as oppose to equal treatment. They would scoff at the idea of being a man, even just for a day. And a lot of them do seem to think they are the same (obviously not physically) but mentally they do which is a complete lie. Naturally women make different decisions to men on the whole if presented with the same opportunities (which the majority in leading countries are)

As a big fan myself, I hate the concept of kids on tiktok sharing this song. The results are always the same; they only listen to that single song and move on, barely even know the artist's name. To see such a career (The Dreaming, Never for Ever, Kick Inside, etc.) to be treated like that gets on my nervs. Makes sense?
Kate Bush is definitely more than just a great singer. She is an accomplished artist in every sense of the word. Her lyrics, melodies, performances, and videos are all little treasures to discover. I never get tired to listen to her songs, from the popular hits, to the lesser known. Some of my personal favorites I would like to see on this channel are "And So Is Love", "Night of Swallow", "Breathing", "This Woman's Work", and "Under The Ivy".
Kate is such an unusual performer, I think sometimes people overlook what a fierce dancer she is. A performance artist really. Her voice: angelic. Her look: gorgeous...also angelic. Her dance: acrobatic, interpretive, brave. She is one of a kind.
@@antipyrene I use New Wave because of the time frame she worked. That British Post Punk Prog sound, i.e. New Wave. Peter Gabriel is most definitely Prog, but his early solo albums are standards of New Wave. Not to get on a complete rant, but I think many music fans don't understand the pedigree of New Wave. Where it came from. Why it evolved. How it grew completely differently in the U.S. and Britain, but from the same basic root. In the U.S., we hear of CBGBs and New York Dolls and think Punk. Yet from that same scene came Blondie, the pinnacle of New York New Wave, as an example. Yes, Kate Bush was discovered and recorded from the Prog scene, but she is New Wave. Helped develop British New Wave. Seriously influenced British New Wave.
Prog Rock, New Wave, Art Rock, whatever genre you want to use, it doesn't really matter. Place her in bloody fantastic music category, that will will do fine 👌
@@thabudmaster Yeah, when a song like "The Big Sky" is an album's weakest track, that's an all-time album. That's a really good song. For most artists, it would be a centerpiece on their best album. Kate, of course, is not "most artists."
Just in case you didn’t know, this song is #1 right now because they used it in Stranger Things. I’m so very happy about that. Great artist. It’s the longest time a song has taken to hit #1. 37 years. All hail, Kate.
No lie... just this weekend I discovered her... I haven't stopped diving in yet! I always had a misconception that Kate was a 90s rocker chick in the style of Liz Phair. When I discovered Wuthering Heights (because of a Facebook ad that featured a Tik Tok video) I was pleasantly surprised that she has so many great albums and songs since the late 70s. My mind was blown and I am a better person for it ;)
Yes and watching a complete mixture of emotions from Jamel such as confusion, analysis and then enjoying it. Exactly how I found her music, took a long time to get her music its very bewitching I find. Think it actually sounds better now than when it was released.
Already an accomplished dancer, Kate pours the emotional intensity of her song into the choreography making this one of the most unique videos from the 80s.
Kate has so much more to offer - "This Woman's Work" is brilliant as many have said in the comments, but the slightly less well known and just as emotional "Moment's of Pleasure" does it for me!
One of my all time favourite songs. 5000 times later it still resonates, the drone chord remains, long after the song ends. She is brilliant in ways I haven't yet discovered. Brilliant in ways Music hasn't yet discovered.
You're thinking of the dance movements from The OA 😊. Sadly, Kate was not as well known in the States (maybe a little more so in Canada?) throughout her career compared to the UK and Europe. Hope you listen to her entire Hounds of Love album which includes Running Up that Hill, especially side B called the Ninth Wave - a song cycle that should be played in order as it tells the story of a woman lost at sea.
@@rexmonarch2 Hey there Gerry! I also love strong single singing women like Steve Nicks. But I can´t replace them. I like collect their way of/and music. Please try Joanna Newsom! Start wioth her first album "Ys" th-cam.com/video/cJ1yFhjRnNc/w-d-xo.html You will not be disappointed! :)
@@rexmonarch2 😊 I wish Kate had received more recognition for her talent and body of work over the years in US and Canada. But she definitely has us fans to appreciate her music here on YT!
I know Kate Bush has been around for a while but the first time I heard her was when she did that duo with Peter Gabriel on "Don't Give Up" -- I knew right there she had the perfect voice for that song and a voice like a cold glass of pure distilled water.
Thank you for reacting to this video!! Kate Bush is simply astonishing with her various talents. Just as an aside, every single sound you hear in this song was produced by Kate herself: the synths, the drum track, the lead and backing vocals... Every lovely note came from her own hand and inspiration.
You are correct! She auditioned for him when she was 18 years old and already had written 100 songs. He got her a record deal based on his recommendation. After that she just exploded into the universe!
Remember seeing this video 'back in the day'. Paid to watch 'Highlander' in the cinema and there was Kate singing; I remember one of the videos had Donald Sutherland in it. Visited my mum and mentioned Kate and mum says, Yes, you remember, Dr Bush !! Our family doctor in Plumstead south east London! Kate - always great. Love the pure theatre of the videos, and the music, thrilling! Choreography excellent. And isn't that Man who dances with her delicious?
I cannot even explain to you how much joy it brings me seeing someone out there touching on the songs that I grew up with, with such an open heart. Thank you so much Jamal :)
The SNL version of “The Man With The Child in His Eyes.” was my first exposure to Kate, and I was ensorcelled and still am for that matter. It's very high quality: www.dailymotion.com/video/x25r049
I love that you compared this to the OA. Soon as you said it, I knew exactly what you were talking about! I could spend hours talking about the layers of mythology in that TV show, and Kate Bush’s works run in the very same vein. This has always been my favourite Kate Bush song, and Mike and I have been huge fans of hers from the very beginning. Peace, brother. You were a huge inspiration for our channel. ❤️✌🏻 - Ginger
@@steveakhurst7845 Kate Bush is lucky, she never operated within the constraints of the mainstream music industry so she has always been free to do whatever she wants regardless of whether it had commercial appeal or not
@@indiegirl9882 Yes ...Exactly, she did not operate within those constraints, and made such great music as a result, My point was that what she made is underated because it never got the exposure it so much deserved !
So happy you’re discovering Kate Bush. One of my first crushes as a kid in the 70s. Babooshka, This Woman’s Work, Army Dreamers, Cloudbusting, Man With a Child in His Eyes - all amazing tracks
Rush is my all time favourite band, but Kate Bush Hounds of Love is my all time favourite album. My challenge to you would be to listen to the Ninth Wave Suite, which encompasses all of side two from the Hounds of Love. It’ll take you on a musical journey based around a woman alone in the sea at night. Absolute perfection from 1985.
Hounds of Love is amazing. (YES, Rush!) Unrelatedly/relatedly - sharing this haunting ship-singing song by Estonian composer Veljo Tormis th-cam.com/video/49KbGJ7qVdo/w-d-xo.html
Deep - perfect description for Kate's music. This song is from the 'Hounds of Love' record, arguably her greatest which is saying a lot. Her videos are works of art, too.
So glad you are getting into Kate Bush, she's one of my faves. Maybe try The Sensual World next. Watch the videos whenever you have the option, because they almost always contain some sort of interpretive dance
@@karenmckenzie3900 I ADORE Kate Bush, but I love the more haunting tone of the Placebo version. I believe Brian Molko saw Kate at a party after its release and asked if she liked it, and she said she did. Ballsy on his part! 😲
Yep. Bodies performing lyrics. She writes, sings, plays music. She was the first female singer/songwriter to have a nr 1 in UK and many other countries, with her own song, when she was only 19. She performs, dances, directs. She had some of the most amazing videos in early MTV. She is incredible and underrated.
Yeah, the OA used what's called "contemporary dance" - also sometimes called "interpretive dance" - in the series, and that's the style of dance being performed in this video too. Contemporary dance came out of the mid-20th century, and has had different times since where it became more popular in mainstream culture. It definitely had more visibility in pop culture in the 70s, when Kate started out, but it's appearances in the mainstream dwindled more as the 80s went on. More recently though, it's seen a resurgence, such as what you brought up from the OA. But also you can see it in places like Sia's music videos featuring Maddie Ziegler dancing or stage performances by Halsey.
I second the request "the man with the child in his eyes" Kate Bush is brilliant RUNNING UP THAT HILL she wrote arranged and produced it in the studio she built on her family's farm
Stranger Things gave this song a new lease of life!!! I remember when I was very young during grade school (that was the 80s dude), and saw this video on MTV I was hooked on Kate Bush and her artistry!! Shes so awesome!!!
Treat yourself and listen to the whole album Hounds Of Love front to back. The whole second side is one series of thematically linked material, much like a Pink Floyd album. She is the total package: she maintains total creative control over her own product, produced and engineered most of it herself, as well as doing the voices and much of the instrumentation. Despite her record company - she was doing what Prince wanted to do when he conducted his campaign of freeing himself from Warner Bros. Incidentally, Prince is on the record saying Kate Bush was not only one of his favorite musicians but one of his favorite human beings on the planet.
Good to see you listening to Kate Bush. She's one of the best out of the 80s. A great thing about her is that she is her own genre. She's not rock; she's not pop; she's not alternative etc; she is Kate Bush. It's amazing music. If you ever want to just clear your mind of everything, listen to the instrumental version of this song. It will carry you away.
The Netflix show you're referencing is The OA, which stands for Original Angel. It sadly only lasted 2 seasons, but I can see what you mean about the similarities between the movements they made in that show when they were traveling to another dimension and Kate's dance moves in this video. Running Up That Hill was a huge hit for Kate, one of her best known songs, from one of her best known albums, Hounds of Love. If you like this track, you might like the title track from the album which features the same synth sound this track has. Hounds of Love's lyrics are about learning not to be afraid of giving and receiving love, which Kate characterizes as "hounds," chasing her to the point of both fear and exhilaration in the song. The second half of Hounds of Love is a mini concept album called The Ninth Wave, 7 songs based on the concept of a child who goes skating on a frozen river, breaks through the ice into freezing water, almost drowns and is washed out to sea, awaiting rescue. Themes of death, life, good and evil, being seen and unseen are present in the song cycle. It's one of the most ambitious and amazing things she's ever done. Worth a listen at least once. Kate didn't record any videos for The Ninth Wave, except for the opening track, And Dream of Sheep, which catches the child in the middle of her saga - washed out to sea, trying to stay awake and afloat, hoping a boat will come by and rescue her before she succumbs to sleep and drowns. True to her commitment to her art, Kate filmed the video in a tank of freezing water, and allowed the film crew to record her singing in the tank. What was produced is a very realistic video of the concept of the song. th-cam.com/video/_256xd9N27o/w-d-xo.html
The themes Kate explores are so courageous. She choreographs, directs and produces her own work, ( I think she collaborated with a choreographer on this one), so because she has total creative control, there is NEVER anything generic or standard about her music, songwriting, videos, or performances. She is unlike anyone else. But there have been MANY women artists from the eighties to the present day that have followed her lead and her influence is now literally everywhere. Bjork, Tori Amos, Sinead O Conner, Sarah McLaughlin, Florence and the Machine, Cocteau Twins, Portishead, and even Madonna picked up on Kate's pioneering strategies to take total control. EMI are actually afraid of her because she has an army of lawyers watching the contractual obligations and stipulations VERY closely. She takes her time and really perfects, shapes and sculpts these masterpiece albums, many years often Lay between each release. EMI: "Kate, we noticed that have no charting hit singles on either of your last two albums" Kate: " I know...I didn't write any"
You got that song alright. You absolutely got it. Kate is a goddess. It's ten years ago this week that I saw her performing live, and you just can't imagine the audience reaction that night. We exchanged the experience.
Such a treat to see someone have a deeply fantastic understanding of the song! Kate is an incredibly unique entity, full of mesmerizing talent. Your reaction made me smile soo much. ALSO, THE OA... is a MASTERPIECE of a show. Original, thoughtful, mind-bending and exceptionally bizarre. I know Netflix will continue it someday... I trust in the universe!! 💯 I know I'm a year late to finding this lol but thank you just the same. It's truly wonderful to see the creative authenticy of Kate's talent being praised and admired by a new generation, in these recent days. After 37 years her song finally reached #1 on the UK charts. The universe always levels the playing field. As Kate's lyrics go... #LetMeStealThisMomentFromUNow #IfOnlySheCould #AndSheDid 💯❤️👍
Basically, the message is if we understood each other's emotions then there would be no misunderstanding, no arguments to hold us back in our relationships.
Kate Bush is incredible (a musical genius), truly gifted and fully formed from the very beginning. There was no one like her at the time, totally in control of her art with no apologies. There are 4 music icons born in the summer of 1958, what a vintage: Kate Bush, Prince Rogers Nelson, Madonna & Michael Jackson.
Me Too!!!! Actually saw her in concert right around Christmas. My friend introduced her to me (not personally -I could only wish). So when we saw she was coming we went to see her. Right at the end of our college semester.
Wow you nailed this on the first listen! Man, I am IMPRESSED. I have adored Kate Bush and this song since it came out in 1985 but it took me decades before I understood it as well as you did right away! Granted i didn’t see the video but I always heard the lyrics as if she was saying she wanted to make a deal with God and get GOD to swap places with HER. But I really loved watching your reaction. So on it and in the music and visuals. So spot on. Subscribed and notifications turned on! Thank you and enjoy the beloved human that is Kate Bush.
Words can not express how wonderful it feels that someone FINALLY reacted to this powerful song! I absolutely love Kate Bush! I was blown away that you got the meaning!! Have you reacted to “Love and Anger”? I love that song as well. Thank you so much!
This song was written when her husband was diagnosed with Multiple sclerosis. She quit showbiz to look after him. This song was for him. She ran up those hills with him and reckon she would have changed places if she could
O YEAH! KATE BUSH!!, she is so unique in music, know one sounds or does songs like her, a real maverick."THIS WOMANS WORK" is a real beauty and showcases her vocal range,thanks for reacting to this jamel really enjoyed this.peace ; )
"And Dream of Sheep" is another required listening song of hers. It's absolutely fantastic. That one is Deeeeeep once you understand the story meaning behind it.
I’m gonna be the umpteenth person to say, Jamel... you must hear ‘This Woman’s Work’. And word of warning, you’d better be comfortable with crying on camera. It’s that beautiful and moving.
Kate Bush sings the background vocals -- "Jeux sans frontières..." -- on Peter Gabriel's 1980 hit "Games Without Frontiers". Check that out when you can.
Her half-whispered singing of "jeux... sans frontier" is absolutely mesmerizing, it transforms the song from being great to being out of this world. Best class.
Kate Bush is privileged to have a direct line into the hearts and minds of her audience. She’s infectious and sublime. Ineffable. She reaches places nobody else can. This song so clearly encapsulates the feeling of love that means you want to merge with the other person so much it hurts. It’s how I feel about my wife. We are made out of clay and we swap it back and forth as we live until we are mixed together. That was the poem I had read by my friend at our wedding. My wife is Chinese and this poem, called Clay, is by Guan Daosheng: You and I Have so much love, That it Burns like a fire, In which we bake a lump of clay Molded into a figure of you And a figure of me. Then we take both of them, And break them into pieces, And mix the pieces with water, And mold again a figure of you, And a figure of me. I am in your clay. In life we share a single quilt. In death we will share a single coffin. This is the feeling the song gives me too.
This song is about her wanting to swap roles with a man. In her words...“I was trying to say that, really, a man and a woman, can’t understand each other because we are a man and a woman. And if we could actually swap each other’s roles, if we could actually be in each other’s place for a while, I think we’d both be very surprised! [Laughs] And I think it would be led to a greater understanding. And really the only way I could think it could be done was either … you know, I thought a deal with the devil, you know. And I thought, ‘Well, no, why not a deal with God!’ You know, because in a way it’s so much more powerful, the whole idea of asking God to make a deal with you.”
My mom loved this album and played it a lot...which meant I hated it. Went back through and listened to it as an adult and I appreciate it a lot more musically now.
Oh, and side note: zoey zoey zoey mentioned the Placebo cover. It's a song worth checking out too...which may get you into a Placebo reaction kick. (I'd enjoy seeing how you feel about them)
It's funny when that happens! Back when we were young, we couldn't appreciate these artists but revisiting them when your mind has matured and you've actually lived life changes everything.
I just recently heard this version of this song. I heard someone taking about how this song was their jam as a kid and searched it out. I was suprised to recognize it bc I had Placebo’s cover in my Spotify playlist already. I like this song a lot but I have to admit I kind of like the covers more bc they sound less 80’s, but I can appreciate the original. Kate Bush seems amazing. I def should check out more of her music.
@@LouSpowells I know I love it. I wish Jamal would check out a friend in need. That song, it was the coolest sht in the world when I was a kid. I saw the video and like a lot of young girls I was at the age when androgynous boys pushed all my romantic buttons. Him with his black nail polish and angsty persona and the clever lyrics that were so subtly naughty...I was done for. So that song has a special spot in my heart bc it hit me at just the right age to make a huge impression. But I also want to explore Kate Bush. I recently started listening to patti smith and I can’t be I’ve I never knew about her. She’s so cool.

When this was first released my father was very ill and that refrain meant something different for me also.
The day my grandmother passed away, I sat locked in my bedroom, blasting this song on repeat.

The Ninth Wave is still one of my favorite pieces of music.
I've listened to it hundreds of times
Her best album, of course the other's are fantastic as well 👍
@@thabudmaster Yeah, when a song like "The Big Sky" is an album's weakest track, that's an all-time album. That's a really good song. For most artists, it would be a centerpiece on their best album. Kate, of course, is not "most artists."
Just in case you didn’t know, this song is #1 right now because they used it in Stranger Things. I’m so very happy about that. Great artist. It’s the longest time a song has taken to hit #1. 37 years. All hail, Kate.
Hmmm, watching someone as they "get" Kate Bush. Very refreshing!
Yep. I agree!
Yes. You said what I was thinking. Thank you
Searing soul searching beauty...
No lie... just this weekend I discovered her... I haven't stopped diving in yet! I always had a misconception that Kate was a 90s rocker chick in the style of Liz Phair. When I discovered Wuthering Heights (because of a Facebook ad that featured a Tik Tok video) I was pleasantly surprised that she has so many great albums and songs since the late 70s. My mind was blown and I am a better person for it ;)
Yes and watching a complete mixture of emotions from Jamel such as confusion, analysis and then enjoying it. Exactly how I found her music, took a long time to get her music its very bewitching I find. Think it actually sounds better now than when it was released.
At last somebody gets it. A lot of reactors don't understand what she's singing about. Thank you.
..." bodies preforming lyrics" ... you got immediately!
She is one multi-talented woman: writer, singer, dancer, performer....
Listen to her piano playing on Wuthering heights, beautiful.
I looked into her and she truly was talented in many things. She is what I think of when I think of the word, artist.
and incredible producer to boot! Truly a visionary. An icon.
@@ambercontreras1110 You're right; that's another of her multiple talents!
Already an accomplished dancer, Kate pours the emotional intensity of her song into the choreography making this one of the most unique videos from the 80s.
Kate has so much more to offer - "This Woman's Work" is brilliant as many have said in the comments, but the slightly less well known and just as emotional "Moment's of Pleasure" does it for me!
Moments of Pleasure is universal
The Man With The Child In His Eyes
Always been my favorite Kate Bush song
Astonishingly, written when she was about 12 or 13
yessss!!!
Makes me cry, it is so beautiful
Yes this one
Are we just going to ignore the fact that Kate Bush is gorgeous
Yes she is.
Drop dead beautiful.
Breathtaking.
shes like witch-ingly beautiful! Just mesmerizing.
@@jammastacrystizzy That’s the word I’ve been looking for all these years.
One of my all time favourite songs. 5000 times later it still resonates, the drone chord remains, long after the song ends. She is brilliant in ways I haven't yet discovered. Brilliant in ways Music hasn't yet discovered.
Kate is a complete artist, song writer ,singer ,musician and dancer and she’s absolutely stunning, not only a British treasure but a global one .
You're thinking of the dance movements from The OA 😊. Sadly, Kate was not as well known in the States (maybe a little more so in Canada?) throughout her career compared to the UK and Europe. Hope you listen to her entire Hounds of Love album which includes Running Up that Hill, especially side B called the Ninth Wave - a song cycle that should be played in order as it tells the story of a woman lost at sea.
I just commented about that, I love the Ninth Wave so much, it's incredible.
@@rexmonarch2 Hey there Gerry! I also love strong single singing women like Steve Nicks. But I can´t replace them. I like collect their way of/and music. Please try Joanna Newsom! Start wioth her first album "Ys" th-cam.com/video/cJ1yFhjRnNc/w-d-xo.html
You will not be disappointed! :)
@@bonbonseattle1361 Same here, it takes you on such an amazing ride of emotions!
@@rexmonarch2 😊 I wish Kate had received more recognition for her talent and body of work over the years in US and Canada. But she definitely has us fans to appreciate her music here on YT!
@@rexmonarch2 Well, then you are well prepared alread :) I saw Joanna Newsom live in Düsseldorf/Germany. She´s as gorgeous as her music!
I know Kate Bush has been around for a while but the first time I heard her was when she did that duo with Peter Gabriel on "Don't Give Up" -- I knew right there she had the perfect voice for that song and a voice like a cold glass of pure distilled water.
that was the first Kate Bush song I ever heard and I'm still haunted every time I hear it.
Completely original and never bettered she's not of this world love her
Thank you for reacting to this video!! Kate Bush is simply astonishing with her various talents. Just as an aside, every single sound you hear in this song was produced by Kate herself: the synths, the drum track, the lead and backing vocals... Every lovely note came from her own hand and inspiration.
Sat In Your Lap, There Goes The Tenner, Sensual World, Woman's Work, Babooshka, The Dreaming, so many great songs by this lady.
I love Wuthering Heights. The song is haunting, the dance is legendary.
OMG you understood the meaning of this song in the first listen. Color me impressed!
I believe she was discovered by David Gilmour of Pink Floyd.
WOW! 👍🏾
You are correct! She auditioned for him when she was 18 years old and already had written 100 songs. He got her a record deal based on his recommendation. After that she just exploded into the universe!
And he had to fight to get a record company to produce her music.
@@jamelakajamal if you listen to the new vocals version of "Wuthering Heights" it also has new guitar - very Gilmour ;)
@@laurawalkerJD he plays on a couple of her songs. can't tell you which ones offhand.
Decades later. Still get the shivers watching this. Thank you kindly sir!
The Goths have never forgotten Kate Bush. This is part of the Canon..
Remember seeing this video 'back in the day'. Paid to watch 'Highlander' in the cinema and there was Kate singing; I remember one of the videos had Donald Sutherland in it. Visited my mum and mentioned Kate and mum says, Yes, you remember, Dr Bush !! Our family doctor in Plumstead south east London! Kate - always great. Love the pure theatre of the videos, and the music, thrilling! Choreography excellent. And isn't that Man who dances with her delicious?
I cannot even explain to you how much joy it brings me seeing someone out there touching on the songs that I grew up with, with such an open heart. Thank you so much Jamal :)
I feel exactly the same. Thank you Jamal!
The OA ... BINGO! Exactly that kind of energy coming from Bush's interpretive dance and the themes of this music.
Her amazing voice is best displayed in “The Man With The Child in His Eyes.” Another theatrical performance is “James and The Cold Gun.”
Her earlier music doesn't seem to be as popular with some Americans but a lot of her best music is there.
Them Heavy People is another gem
Or WOW!
The SNL version of “The Man With The Child in His Eyes.” was my first exposure to Kate, and I was ensorcelled and still am for that matter. It's very high quality: www.dailymotion.com/video/x25r049
I love that you compared this to the OA. Soon as you said it, I knew exactly what you were talking about!
I could spend hours talking about the layers of mythology in that TV show, and Kate Bush’s works run in the very same vein.
This has always been my favourite Kate Bush song, and Mike and I have been huge fans of hers from the very beginning.
Peace, brother. You were a huge inspiration for our channel. ❤️✌🏻 - Ginger
Can you believe this song got big hype because of Stranger Things 4…you reacted a year ago so this is pretty cool! Thanks for this cause it’s a fav!
Hounds of Love is one of my all time favourite records. Deep, original, emotional. Kate’s masterpiece
Her album from the 2000’s called Aerial is a frigging masterpiece
Absolutely !! The second half of the album is genius
@@indiegirl9882 absolutely! 👍
Yep it is..but alas still underated by the music corporate machine !
@@steveakhurst7845 Kate Bush is lucky, she never operated within the constraints of the mainstream music industry so she has always been free to do whatever she wants regardless of whether it had commercial appeal or not
@@indiegirl9882 Yes ...Exactly, she did not operate within those constraints, and made such great music as a result, My point was that what she made is underated because it never got the exposure it so much deserved !
Fun fact: Big Boi is a HUGE fan of this song and Kate in general but especially this song.
Such a singer, such a keyboardist, musician, such a songwriter/composer, dancer/chorographer. Such a beauty..Thanks jamel...!
So happy you’re discovering Kate Bush. One of my first crushes as a kid in the 70s. Babooshka, This Woman’s Work, Army Dreamers, Cloudbusting, Man With a Child in His Eyes - all amazing tracks
Rush is my all time favourite band, but Kate Bush Hounds of Love is my all time favourite album. My challenge to you would be to listen to the Ninth Wave Suite, which encompasses all of side two from the Hounds of Love. It’ll take you on a musical journey based around a woman alone in the sea at night. Absolute perfection from 1985.
Hounds of Love is amazing. (YES, Rush!) Unrelatedly/relatedly - sharing this haunting ship-singing song by Estonian composer Veljo Tormis th-cam.com/video/49KbGJ7qVdo/w-d-xo.html
My top 3 is Rush 2 Yes 3 Pink Floyd but Kate Bush is something special she touches you
you have great taste, we'd be friends haha
YES - The Ninth Wave is one of the most brilliant works of conceptual / prog music of all time
Glorious album!
Kate Bush BABOOSHKA. I relive my childhood fantasy every time I watch it.
Deep - perfect description for Kate's music. This song is from the 'Hounds of Love' record, arguably her greatest which is saying a lot. Her videos are works of art, too.
The song "Hounds of Love" is also amazing
@@laurawalkerJD Its in the trees
She is the only voice from my past that always moves and haunts me, I LOVE KATE BUSH . Glad you have opened this door. Congratulations.
So glad you are getting into Kate Bush, she's one of my faves. Maybe try The Sensual World next. Watch the videos whenever you have the option, because they almost always contain some sort of interpretive dance
Kate Bush is my favorite artist of all time, ever.
The group "Placebo" did a great cover of this one.
I agree. Meg Meyers? did too.
I definitely prefer the Placebo version
I actually like the cover better.
@@karenmckenzie3900 I ADORE Kate Bush, but I love the more haunting tone of the Placebo version. I believe Brian Molko saw Kate at a party after
its release and asked if she liked it, and she said she did. Ballsy on his part! 😲
@@mrenb7 Agreed on both points - definitely ballsy and beautifully haunting.
Yep. Bodies performing lyrics.
She writes, sings, plays music. She was the first female singer/songwriter to have a nr 1 in UK and many other countries, with her own song, when she was only 19.
She performs, dances, directs. She had some of the most amazing videos in early MTV.
She is incredible and underrated.
Now you’ve gotta do “This Woman’s Work” the official video...it’s very emotional..it’s the only music video I tear up watching....
And the beautiful Maxwell version
I had to go listen to it after hearing Jamel's Wuthering Heights video. Yup, it caught me chopping onions again...
That song is amazingly sad...and my favorite Kate Bush song
Definitely the best song of her’s. To listen to others and not This Woman’s Work means really missing out in her talent.
One of my all time favourite songs. Blows my mind every time. A musical masterpiece!
Yeah, the OA used what's called "contemporary dance" - also sometimes called "interpretive dance" - in the series, and that's the style of dance being performed in this video too. Contemporary dance came out of the mid-20th century, and has had different times since where it became more popular in mainstream culture. It definitely had more visibility in pop culture in the 70s, when Kate started out, but it's appearances in the mainstream dwindled more as the 80s went on. More recently though, it's seen a resurgence, such as what you brought up from the OA. But also you can see it in places like Sia's music videos featuring Maddie Ziegler dancing or stage performances by Halsey.
This is my favorite Kate Bush song. I still get chills every time I hear it.
I second the request "the man with the child in his eyes"
Kate Bush is brilliant
RUNNING UP THAT HILL
she wrote
arranged and produced it in the studio she built on her family's farm
One of my favourite songs and videos of the legend that isKate Bush. Phenomenally talented genius. Great reaction. 💜❤️
This is my favorite song by Kate Bush! It is so deep!! I love your interpretation of the song! I also really like the choreography in the video!
Stranger Things gave this song a new lease of life!!!
I remember when I was very young during grade school (that was the 80s dude), and saw this video on MTV I was hooked on Kate Bush and her artistry!! Shes so awesome!!!
Treat yourself and listen to the whole album Hounds Of Love front to back. The whole second side is one series of thematically linked material, much like a Pink Floyd album.
She is the total package: she maintains total creative control over her own product, produced and engineered most of it herself, as well as doing the voices and much of the instrumentation. Despite her record company - she was doing what Prince wanted to do when he conducted his campaign of freeing himself from Warner Bros. Incidentally, Prince is on the record saying Kate Bush was not only one of his favorite musicians but one of his favorite human beings on the planet.
Dude... been following your reactions for a little while now, but this one hit me
Nice to see the reaction for this song a year ago and not right after stranger things lol
Good to see you listening to Kate Bush. She's one of the best out of the 80s. A great thing about her is that she is her own genre. She's not rock; she's not pop; she's not alternative etc; she is Kate Bush. It's amazing music.
If you ever want to just clear your mind of everything, listen to the instrumental version of this song. It will carry you away.
Talent like that doesn’t come along every day, once in a lifetime artist...Kate is pretty incredible.
Couldn't have put it better myself! 👍
Timely reaction! I've been listening to this song on repeat this week for some reason. So good!
The Netflix show you're referencing is The OA, which stands for Original Angel. It sadly only lasted 2 seasons, but I can see what you mean about the similarities between the movements they made in that show when they were traveling to another dimension and Kate's dance moves in this video.
Running Up That Hill was a huge hit for Kate, one of her best known songs, from one of her best known albums, Hounds of Love. If you like this track, you might like the title track from the album which features the same synth sound this track has. Hounds of Love's lyrics are about learning not to be afraid of giving and receiving love, which Kate characterizes as "hounds," chasing her to the point of both fear and exhilaration in the song.
The second half of Hounds of Love is a mini concept album called The Ninth Wave, 7 songs based on the concept of a child who goes skating on a frozen river, breaks through the ice into freezing water, almost drowns and is washed out to sea, awaiting rescue. Themes of death, life, good and evil, being seen and unseen are present in the song cycle. It's one of the most ambitious and amazing things she's ever done. Worth a listen at least once.
Kate didn't record any videos for The Ninth Wave, except for the opening track, And Dream of Sheep, which catches the child in the middle of her saga - washed out to sea, trying to stay awake and afloat, hoping a boat will come by and rescue her before she succumbs to sleep and drowns. True to her commitment to her art, Kate filmed the video in a tank of freezing water, and allowed the film crew to record her singing in the tank. What was produced is a very realistic video of the concept of the song. th-cam.com/video/_256xd9N27o/w-d-xo.html
Never have I clicked so fast on one of these react videos to see my man react to my favorite song by my favorite female singer. Love this song!!
The themes Kate explores are so courageous. She choreographs, directs and produces her own work, ( I think she collaborated with a choreographer on this one), so because she has total creative control, there is NEVER anything generic or standard about her music, songwriting, videos, or performances. She is unlike anyone else. But there have been MANY women artists from the eighties to the present day that have followed her lead and her influence is now literally everywhere. Bjork, Tori Amos, Sinead O Conner, Sarah McLaughlin, Florence and the Machine, Cocteau Twins, Portishead, and even Madonna picked up on Kate's pioneering strategies to take total control. EMI are actually afraid of her because she has an army of lawyers watching the contractual obligations and stipulations VERY closely. She takes her time and really perfects, shapes and sculpts these masterpiece albums, many years often
Lay between each release. EMI: "Kate, we noticed that have no charting hit singles on either of your last two albums"
Kate: " I know...I didn't write any"
You got that song alright. You absolutely got it.
Kate is a goddess. It's ten years ago this week that I saw her performing live, and you just can't imagine the audience reaction that night. We exchanged the experience.
Such a treat to see someone have a deeply fantastic understanding of the song! Kate is an incredibly unique entity, full of mesmerizing talent. Your reaction made me smile soo much.
ALSO, THE OA... is a MASTERPIECE of a show. Original, thoughtful, mind-bending and exceptionally bizarre. I know Netflix will continue it someday... I trust in the universe!! 💯
I know I'm a year late to finding this lol but thank you just the same. It's truly wonderful to see the creative authenticy of Kate's talent being praised and admired by a new generation, in these recent days.
After 37 years her song finally reached #1 on the UK charts.
The universe always levels the playing field.
As Kate's lyrics go...
#LetMeStealThisMomentFromUNow
#IfOnlySheCould
#AndSheDid
💯❤️👍
Hey thanks to both you and Jamal for turning me on to that - would never have seen it otherwise. Great stuff.
No artist moved as many people as Kate Bush, she is and forever will be the most versatile and original artist. I can cry for hours listening to this.
Big Boi from Outkast is a huge Kate Bush fan and likes this song in particular.
She has a lot of great songs but this is still my favorite from her! Big Boi and I agree !
And Dream of Sheep is awesome too. I like Babushka and Jig of Life as well. Kate is a gem.
The OA is that show about angels, right? Kate Bush is amazing. A singular talent.
Kate Bush is a genius and true artist. I was fortunate enough to see her on her 2014 tour in London. Dream come true ❤️
She kept complete control of her art. Trailblazer.
Kate was a trail blazer of her day! She produced all her music too. Look into her! Every woman in music looked up to her.
Basically, the message is if we understood each other's emotions then there would be no misunderstanding, no arguments to hold us back in our relationships.
Kate Bush is incredible (a musical genius), truly gifted and fully formed from the very beginning. There was no one like her at the time, totally in control of her art with no apologies. There are 4 music icons born in the summer of 1958, what a vintage: Kate Bush, Prince Rogers Nelson, Madonna & Michael Jackson.
Thank you. You've brought me back to Christmastime, 1985.
Me Too!!!! Actually saw her in concert right around Christmas. My friend introduced her to me (not personally -I could only wish). So when we saw she was coming we went to see her. Right at the end of our college semester.
Wow you nailed this on the first listen! Man, I am IMPRESSED. I have adored Kate Bush and this song since it came out in 1985 but it took me decades before I understood it as well as you did right away! Granted i didn’t see the video but I always heard the lyrics as if she was saying she wanted to make a deal with God and get GOD to swap places with HER. But I really loved watching your reaction. So on it and in the music and visuals. So spot on. Subscribed and notifications turned on! Thank you and enjoy the beloved human that is Kate Bush.
Fast forward to now this song is so relevant coz of stranger things..🙌 powerful scene !! With max !
Words can not express how wonderful it feels that someone FINALLY reacted to this powerful song! I absolutely love Kate Bush! I was blown away that you got the meaning!! Have you reacted to “Love and Anger”? I love that song as well. Thank you so much!
This song sounds just as fresh as it did when it was first released. The album Hounds of Love is an experience to listen to.
Absolutely right, wonderful album from a wonderful artist.
This song was written when her husband was diagnosed with Multiple sclerosis. She quit showbiz to look after him. This song was for him.
She ran up those hills with him and reckon she would have changed places if she could
The "B" side of the record was the story of a shipwreck survivor lost at sea awaiting rescue - gorgeous.
O YEAH! KATE BUSH!!, she is so unique in music, know one sounds or does songs like her, a real maverick."THIS WOMANS WORK" is a real beauty and showcases her vocal range,thanks for reacting to this jamel really enjoyed this.peace ; )
"And Dream of Sheep" is another required listening song of hers. It's absolutely fantastic. That one is Deeeeeep once you understand the story meaning behind it.
Yes. Dream of Sheep. Followed by the Waking. Brilliant !
I’m gonna be the umpteenth person to say, Jamel... you must hear ‘This Woman’s Work’. And word of warning, you’d better be comfortable with crying on camera. It’s that beautiful and moving.
Kate Bush sings the background vocals -- "Jeux sans frontières..." -- on Peter Gabriel's 1980 hit "Games Without Frontiers". Check that out when you can.
Yessss !
I've been requesting Games Without Frontiers for months! Haha!! Jamel! 😁
Kate did the duet "Don't Give Up" with Peter that I think Jamal has reacted to.
@@jamessweet5341 I don't think that's in the same class, even if it did well in the American charts.
Her half-whispered singing of "jeux... sans frontier" is absolutely mesmerizing, it transforms the song from being great to being out of this world. Best class.
Kate Bush is privileged to have a direct line into the hearts and minds of her audience. She’s infectious and sublime. Ineffable. She reaches places nobody else can. This song so clearly encapsulates the feeling of love that means you want to merge with the other person so much it hurts. It’s how I feel about my wife. We are made out of clay and we swap it back and forth as we live until we are mixed together. That was the poem I had read by my friend at our wedding. My wife is Chinese and this poem, called Clay, is by Guan Daosheng:
You and I
Have so much love,
That it
Burns like a fire,
In which we bake a lump of clay
Molded into a figure of you
And a figure of me.
Then we take both of them,
And break them into pieces,
And mix the pieces with water,
And mold again a figure of you,
And a figure of me.
I am in your clay.
In life we share a single quilt.
In death we will share a single coffin.
This is the feeling the song gives me too.
This song is about her wanting to swap roles with a man. In her words...“I was trying to say that, really, a man and a woman, can’t understand each other because we are a man and a woman. And if we could actually swap each other’s roles, if we could actually be in each other’s place for a while, I think we’d both be very surprised! [Laughs] And I think it would be led to a greater understanding. And really the only way I could think it could be done was either … you know, I thought a deal with the devil, you know. And I thought, ‘Well, no, why not a deal with God!’ You know, because in a way it’s so much more powerful, the whole idea of asking God to make a deal with you.”
I'm a huge Metal fan but when it comes to Kate Bush I melt. She's one of the best of all time.
My mom loved this album and played it a lot...which meant I hated it. Went back through and listened to it as an adult and I appreciate it a lot more musically now.
Oh, and side note: zoey zoey zoey mentioned the Placebo cover. It's a song worth checking out too...which may get you into a Placebo reaction kick. (I'd enjoy seeing how you feel about them)
Thats what ive got with pink Floyd, my parents listened it so much. I hated it, But now its my favorite band
It's funny when that happens! Back when we were young, we couldn't appreciate these artists but revisiting them when your mind has matured and you've actually lived life changes everything.
CLOUDBUSTING (Official Video with Donald Sutherland as her Father),BABUSHKA,WUTHERING HIGHTS.....so many good Songs of her to check out !
I just recently heard this version of this song. I heard someone taking about how this song was their jam as a kid and searched it out. I was suprised to recognize it bc I had Placebo’s cover in my Spotify playlist already. I like this song a lot but I have to admit I kind of like the covers more bc they sound less 80’s, but I can appreciate the original. Kate Bush seems amazing. I def should check out more of her music.
Man...the Placebo version is fantastic. It was the reason I went back and started re-listening to (and appreciating) Kate Bush.
@@LouSpowells I know I love it. I wish Jamal would check out a friend in need. That song, it was the coolest sht in the world when I was a kid. I saw the video and like a lot of young girls I was at the age when androgynous boys pushed all my romantic buttons. Him with his black nail polish and angsty persona and the clever lyrics that were so subtly naughty...I was done for. So that song has a special spot in my heart bc it hit me at just the right age to make a huge impression. But I also want to explore Kate Bush. I recently started listening to patti smith and I can’t be I’ve I never knew about her. She’s so cool.
I enjoyvthe Placebo cover as well.
