- Official music video for the single "The Sensual World" by Kate Bush.

The single entered and peaked at no.12 in the UK single charts.

It's like a late medieval pop song. Its incredible.
Perfect description
Eight Years before Loreena McKennitt's "The Mummer's Dance"
Must be modal then
it's based on traditional macedonian folk music
mmmmm yesss
WHAT A GIFT TO HUMANITY THIS WOMAN IS
Tru Fact's 😌
But men are more
Let's get married in California. I'm in Chico
She sure is and brightens my life!🙏💚☀️✨
She's a pop singer not the saviour
The sound she makes, when saying "hmmmm yes", is so enchanting to me. It takes me to other places. Like all of her music. There's always something special.
This woman IS art.
Well said!
🎯
True!
Although: Maybe I have a filthy mind, but it's very hard for me to hear that and not imagine myself as being her husband, and hearing that.
Forget "WAP". This has got to be the sexiest song ever. And when she strips off that hat........
I could listen to her say hmmmm yes all day, every day, on repeat. Makes my heart burst
All the cool kids are listening to "Running Up That Hill" right now... all the REALLY cool kids will find their way to this song....
Hopefully!
Mmmm... Yes.
Absolutely
I'm here 😂
arleady there
Her voice, the lyrics, her beauty, her movements, the visuals. All a perfect storm.
The words are a tad twisted if ur a WASP like we are....look harder. 😎😎😎
artistic and magical soul!!!👍
Voice!👌
If Mother Earth was a actual human form I envision she looks, moves and sings like Kate Bush 💕💜💕💜
...and the bells at the beginning, of course, reminding me of when I lived in Amsterdam. All of her songs always remind me of something beautiful as well as being beautiful themselves.
Her music is literal magic. Incantations. Spells in song format. They’re prayers. It’s completely mesmerizing.
What a brilliant way of describing her music, agreed she’s wonderful!
this is like, the best description of Kate's music I've ever heard.
Same impressions. You say it just right
'Spells in song format' yes... yes!!
Well Said ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
In 1989, ten year old me couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Here I am now. What a privileged child I was to have this calibre of music readily available to me in my youth.
I was a huge fan by the time this came out, 16 I think. Played it on a loop for weeks.
That happened in 1978 to me when l was 18. I came in taking my jacket and helmet off while this song was playing and immediately put it back on and went to the record store and bought "The Kick Inside" album. I have all of her albums some many times over on vinyl, cassette and CD. Now all on Digital
you can comment i return to see the video
@@mrtimtremmel8465 This was the first album of hers that I bought on the first day of release. I heard her after rRunning up that Hill was released in America, and that was it, life changed.
She is the greatest.
❤
One of the few musical geniuses of pop music.
Kate Bush is simply a musical genius. You can't put her into any catagory. SHE is her own catagory.
The best artist in music ever.
mmmmmmm....yes
Yeh we are blessed, a force of nature quite amazing really she had a freeness about her
*category
everyone here knows, but I still feel not enough people understand the greatness and genius of Kate Bush
preaching to the choir, bub ;)
Hey Jay Paul, is you diissin' us all as being dumbos?🤪
That's their loss!, don't worry about the losers of this world !
Agreed! I loved this entire album! BRILLIANT! SIMPLY BRILLIANT !
She's a sensual woman and her music show's that.
To anyone reading who might not be aware of what this song is about:
Kate wrote this song from the perspective of Molly Bloom, the heroine of James Joyce's modernist novel Ulysses. Specifically, this song adapts parts of Molly Bloom's famous internal monologue in the novel's very last chapter. That's why it appears to have neither a beginning nor an end; it flows uninterrupted like stream of consciousness, punctuated only by her seductive chants of "mmm yes."
Molly Bloom, in a post-coital daze after having just committed adultery, breathlessly reveals her sexual desires through her innermost thoughts. However, far from being ashamed of having slept with another man behind her husband's back, she proclaims her right to feel pleasure. She also blames her husband's inability to have intercourse for their sexually dysfunctional marriage. Her situation is especially frustrating to her because she does have love for her husband and fondly remembers the time when they could please each other. As she drifts off to sleep, her mind gets occupied with a vivid memory of the day he passionately kissed her on the Howth Head peninsula and lovingly called her a mountain flower. As they lay there making love to each other in the lap of nature, he proposed to her, and in an ecstatic moment of sexual and marital consent, she replied, "yes I will yes."
This is the memory that Kate's song captures. It shows Molly Bloom literally stepping out of the pages of the book and sensing the physical (or "sensual") world as she sings about making love to her husband in the mountains, wishing for a world where such sensual pleasures were easier to experience.
I've heard her in interviews say she gets a lot of inspiration for her music from books
Thanks for the context/insight
How beautiful you write and express yourself. Thank you.
Thanks
That nearly brought me to tears, how beautiful ❤
This is painfully beautiful, like the memory of a first passion.
Damn this comment hurt me that’s perfectly said
absolutely
Exactly and she's totally immersed in it , I like that some men properly see this
It is based on the final chapter of the James Joyce novel Ulysses as Molly mastrubates herself into a near psychedelic state to sounds of the church bells of Victorian Dublin as the morning sun rises.
So beautiful it is almost painful. I have so many emotions listening to this song but there aren’t words to explain how I feel.
Year 1989 : The Song was ahead of its times.
Year 2020 : The Song is still ahead of the times.
Yep....Actually it's a great Vid 2....Moon,trees...Awesome.
Come back 2040 I'll say the same thing
Mmmm, yessss
If this was brought out now I actually think it would shoot up the charts.
Kate bushfires
She could teach a cat to purr.
mmmmmm.....yes
👌💯❤️
Almost yes 😊
The trilogy of albums she made in the mid to late 80s (The Dreaming, Hounds Of Love, and The Sensual World) are absolute pop rock masterpieces. Each one unique yet bearing all her individual stamp of Kate-ness: abstract, defiant, empowering, emotional, theatrical, sensual and spiritual. She is completely original and brave, queer (in the true sense of the word), surreal, and always subversive and yet... never less than human. She is one of the greats.
Yes! I'd say Never For Ever deserves some praise as well. It was the start of Kate's ventures into production and has some killer songs from her.
The 80s were a glorious period for Kate's artistic growth.
*art rock/progressive pop
and no such thing as "in the *true* sense of the word".
Don't forget Lionheart!
@@ankihansen2489 Don't forget every album!
Definitely Never For Ever needs to be included
The only time I can say thank you to Netflix... They exposed a whole other generation to an amazing artist. Her music got me through the 90s. I'm hoping the same can happen with the young now. God knows they need something to get through this life.
I discovered Kate Bush thanks to Netflix, and this song thanks to Bloomsday. I'm so grateful!
😢
You made me cry.
For reals.
The tunes of Kate Bush and Annie Lennox / Eurythmics were the songs of my soul.
@@moogamouth9807 I think the same. Every storie from ig now have her songs. Oversaturate.
People that are into good music find Kate Bush regardless.
Music is so bland these days I would have hoped the youth of today would have seeked out real music anyway.
We all need something to get us through life and it's always the simplest of things. It's often making the effort to search it out that is the problem.
You obviously made the effort and the World can add another plus to justify it's existence. Take care.
My god Kate, how can I explain how much of my heart you have filled with your music.
mmmmmm....yes
Kate Bush, The litmus test for the upper echelon of exquisite taste
Kate Bush has the most sensual female voice ever heard in pop culture.
❤❤❤❤🌺🌺🌺🌺🪷🪷🪷🪷🪻🪻🪻🪻🦋🦋🦋🦋🍇🍇🍇🍇
🔥🔥🔥🌠🌠🌠🌌🌌🌌⭐️⭐️⭐️🔥🔥🔥
mmmmmmm.....yes
God, I'd love to spend sunrise to sunset walking and dancing through a forest with Kate Bush.
I'd love to spend sunset to sunrise ...
mmmmmmm.....yes
❤😊
Count me in
Is anyone familiar with a Kate Bush song where she sings about about a woman named Mari?? Cant find it anywhere!
I like the fact that with the line "do i look for those millionaires like a Machiavellian girl would, when i could wear a sunset" she made a connection to her first song, Wuthering Heights, and the differences between the female main protagonists of Ulysses (Molly Bloom) and Wuthering Heights (Catherine Earnshaw). Catherine chose to marry Edgar Linton above Heathcliff in an opportunistic manner - something Molly would never have done, because all she lives for is sensuality.
Great connection.
I like that.
@@fausty150 thank you :)
@@cloudyswildride thx :)
Genious
"Musically, one of the main hooks in the chorus of The Sensual World was inspired by a traditional Macedonian piece of music called 'Nevestinsko Oro' ('Bride's Dance'). A recording of this piece of music was sent to Kate by Jan Libbenga. As in the traditional version, the melody is played on uilleann pipes, in this case by Irish musician Davy Spillane."
Brilliant Sara! These things are important!
Yes inspired by our Bride's dance 🤘❤
Brilliant information. Many thanks.
Thanks for sharing that! Kate is one of the most unique and creative artists... ever.
Thank you for the information, I'm just getting to know her a bit better only now!
A woman celebrating her desire without losing her elegance. I´m melting away....
Nice observation. And she does it without appealing.
I wouldn't underestimate Kate. The key to this song is what that desire arouses, which is unbridled lust; and Kate offers herself up as an object of someone else's desire. This song is a tribute to her utter genius in that respect.
Same, and I'm not even gay, antonio gonzalez.
@AB CD Actual sex might not be elegant.
@AB CD Good comment. I feel there's an overload today of shallow, literal things everywhere and we are overwhelmed by that on a daily basis. Many younger people might never have experienced the more subtle, poetic way to consider things. Hence they might be fed up with the former. Just a thought.
Kate Bush is my queen and has been since i was 14. I'm 57 now and this is my favourite song by her hand ❤
I adore that warble she puts into her humming, it's as beautiful as hearing a blackbird or a nightingale on a summer's morning.
She is like a mythical siren at sea. If I were a sailor I definitely crash against the rocks and sink in the ocean listening to this.
Of the sea?.....she is a mythical siren of the stars.....and i would gladly crash my Starship ;)
So you would like to drown to death just to listen to some music?
Being American, I only recently discovered her music and I'm bewitched.
Better late than never my friend. She is beyond amazing. There is no one like her.... I am also American but I was lucky enough to be the right age when Hounds of Love and The Sensual World came out. Both were a big deal in my band/dance/theater/circles. Also MTV and VH-1 played her videos shockingly enough.
Not many things come out of the UK but we have had the best musical exports
@@chris55068……..nothing much comes out of the uk……...what Rubbish
chris b Music, Fashion, Art, Writers......
How did I miss her all those years?!! Don't remember any of her music on American radio. We were cheated!!! I love her!!
Kate Bush The Sensual World is one of my unheard and personal favorite song
The very definition of womanhood summed up in 3 minutes and 53 seconds. I had this poster in my room as a student. The girl I was with at the time asked me why and I told her: she taught me everything about women through listening to her songs. 30 years later, still married, children, still deliriously in love. All down to us and that moment, and Kate Bush, my muse. That is the power of this wonderful woman's music.
Mmm yesss! :D
You're a poet.
😎
Well it was really James Joyce just as she did with Wuthering Heights getting inspired by something read or seen, but I agree with you. To this day I can still sing all the lyrics to this album without even thinking about it. She blew me away with this one....then The Red Shoes came out after this...wow...
Wtf?
Kate Bush. Her music has informed a significant part of my aesthetic and ethos, and thus part of who I am as a human being in similar ways to Nick Drake, The Smiths and Nina Simone. Kate's music speaks directly to my strange, magical, Queer, elusive, golden-hearted rascal self. All my love and respect from Texas!
Nick Drake is top tier.
mmmmmmm.....yes
yeah, no. There' nothing "queer" about her
@@lm5730, I don't know how she identifies, though I know she's a longtime ally. I was referring rather to the feeling of "otherness" her music involves, which speak very much to me due to similar experiences and perspectives.
As someone who loves a forest, the sunset, and the moon this music video is lovely to watch! And there is something so enchanting about watching Kate Bush just sort of glide her way through these scenes. And the song itself sounds very much like the title, sensual!! I’m Really enjoying discovering what Kate Bush has gifted to the world!
such a beautiful comment.
@@canaryinacoalmine7267 thank you!🙏🏽
Yessssssssss I could live in nature. I am of nature I am one with nature. The sunset is absolutely beautiful
right, her movements are not from this earth, can't take my eyes of her flowing along that path
I some how never came a cross this Kate bush song now on my fourth listen am mesmerized 😮🤯
It is beautiful ❤
Kate Bush in a red, velvet dress, dancing in a forest on fire. Doesn't get any better than this, folks.
Yes, so beautiful.
Haunting. Love the velvet on her. Just perfect.
Agree. My name is Forrest. Just a kid from Oklahoma 1989 and I fell in love. Running up that Hill first. Then this.
I'd rather she wasn't on fire.
mmmmm......yes
I cant stop playing this over and over. She is amazing! Takes me to a fairy wonderland of sensual pleasures. It has awoken me to all my creative energies. How she portrays the words with her movements..so exquisite and dreamlike....wow.....wow...
I remember first seeing this video when the song was first released and I’ve been obsessed with ever since, I also play it over and over again !❤
Not only Kate’s beautiful voice but the other worldly musical arrangement is simply divine❤️❤️❤️
I agree. I've spent this morning searching the web to find out about the musicians playing on this track and if they composed their parts or if they were given to them by Kate. Turns out the Irish instruments were arranged by Bill Whelan and his Wiki entry doesn't even mention it in his discography.
Without doubt THE sexiest song I have ever had the privilege to hear
She's like a fairy from mystic world ❤
It's been a good moment (or approximately 300,000,000) since I visited this music. This woman is simply genuine genius in physical form. Kate is wonderful.
She’s literally purrrrring 💕💕💕
touching wet fire and burning dry water.
Can’t believe I’m only just discovering her now and my new found love is her and for the single female artist category…I mean she’s now sitting with the likes of Lennon, McCartney and Harrison right now in my eyes !!! I’m absolutely blown away by her. My life has changed. ❤️ KB
Keep growing mate - look to the other weird and wonderful ones hidden in the mists of time. Artists like Annie Lennox, David Bowie, Prince, Seal etc.
A world of music awaits.
Lame way to consume music.
better late ...than...
Every day is a school day x
@@TheOldskoolVideoGamer Like Sarah McLaughlin, Jane Siberry, Laurie Anderson, Peter Gabriel
Kate is exquisite!!
I can't believe this music is from 1989. Kate Bush is REALLY an artist ahead of her time.
Marcelo B - HER time!
😅
I can believe it. Today’s mainstream music is garbage
She always was.
What do you mean 'ahead'? 99% of today's music is cheap trash for quick consumption. This was composed in one of the two greatest decades for music - 70s and 80s.
all 80s are and glad she met deadline at 89
I could listen to this song forever...
Her ability to shape and control her music,as well as her image, is why this song and video still resonate.
I think she is a genius. The way she uses the music and her vocals to project emotion, sensuality and the meaning behind the song. She doesn't just spew out the lyrics from the page....every word is thought about and from her soul. Nobody can touch her for innovation and artistry, and her writing is like beautiful poetry... just so, so intelligent. She makes all of the little pop tarts with their auto tune, arses hanging out and little else look like halfwits (which arguably, they are)....plus she does all of that with class and dignity, and without selling out just to chart. Love her.
Nobody can touch her innovation and artistry? Lol Get the hell out. I don't care if this comment is 4 years old! It's infinite and its overhyped nonsense so its relevant enough for me to comment in 2019. You got Bjork and you got Willow. Mind you, Willow is
18 years old making FIRE music!
Kate Bush is great but she's not the best. Don't get it twisted. P.S. Bjork has a voice made from the hand of God -- a melodious, otherworldly, and ethereal voice of unfathomable beauty and surreal mystery that even Satan himself envies her voice.
Totally agree Dee H, when I said the same I got a whole load of grief
@@danielsmithiv1279 None of them would be here without Kate, she was the pioneer, the first female artist to have full control over her art work.
She’s a Leo sun with an Aquarius moon she trying to elevate us to her realm 😉😏
I'd agree if you were only refering to The Kick Inside and Lionheart. The former was, in my humble opinion, one of, if not, the debut albums of all time. It was genius, indeed. The way she used her voice to keep her narritive in the songs was so original and her hooks were amazing. I was a punk who loved a bit of heavy but I loved Kate's music at the same time. My new taste in music, symphonic rock was toitally inspired by her, especially my favourite band, Within Temptation - who do the absolute worst cover of a song - Going Up That Hill - in music histoty :). I think after Lionheart she lost her way and became just another singer. Her later work has nothing of those first two albums but not many singers or bands have two absolutely incredible albums before they rely on fans buying anything they produce...
That voice rumble she does whe she sings "mmmmm" is something else, never heard anything else like it.
Its pure bliss
Recently Dimash Qudaibergen did it (in Passione). But he's the first in 30 years.
that's called 'vibrato' :). She did another version later and that's missing. Shame
No One like her! She keeps me coming back after all these years,
There will be so many female artists to come but nobody can be like Kate Bush, she is simply a gift from heaven with her so fantastic voice and additionally her looks, a beautiful combination of both brings magic to the world. She is a symbol of romance.
WOW! What an artist. We don’t have performers with this level of artistry anymore. She’s one of a kind.
Caroline Polachek its the only one that gets close to her
@@hasten_ftc Omg, I'm not familiar with her. Song recs for a first time listener?!
@@tylershelby9 “Crude Drawing of an Angel”, “Welcome to my Island”, “Smoke”, “Believe”, “Door” tell me when u hear her!! Want to know your opinion
@@hasten_ftc Hi! So sorry I never responded. I left the message unread in my inbox so I wouldn't forget. Excuse my bluntness, but I liked the music, however didn't love it. I didn't get Kate vibes either, really! In terms of quality.. But to each his own :) thanks for the rec!
Wow! Unbelievable! mmmmmmmm......yes
I always feel like Kate Bush is in her own league, and makes me feel like the whole pressure of fitting in just falls off my shoulders
That sums her up really.
She has always been in a league of her own.
I like many things about her, but what usually struck me, was how over the decades she's never shown any sign of any ego.
She was always a consummate artist who worked hard on her art. She never became arrogant.
She was always if anything, really shy.
I don't care what anybody says, I believe she's the most talented artist to have come out of the UK.
Poignancy
Why exactly wasn't this a huge hit? I like Running Up That Hill but, man, this is on another level.
Speechless
Exactly,...she's too damn deep. Goddess!
It wasn't exactly a flop, it did get it's share of presence on MTV.
Try "Words" by The Christians. Now that's a forgotten gem.
I remember when this was. There were a lot of things going on in music, and Kate Bush was already old news. Don't get me wrong, it's brilliant, but MTV was hyping other stuff.
@@Borderline_BaS I see your Words and raise you Women of Ireland th-cam.com/video/Vb2lHME4tkI/w-d-xo.html
Of all the masterpieces she's created, I think this one's my favorite.
The eye contact with the camera at 3:47.
Queen.
As of September 2019 this song is now 30 years old and still sounds fresh as ever! Love the overall vibe and way the video was filmed.
OMG you're right - 30 years gone and her work has lost nothing from the magic.
Most erotic song i ever heard
Has it been that long?
You're right. It still sounds fresh.
The video looks like it could've been shot yesterday.
Great zvideo the weirworld needs it now
My gosh, why haven't I heard of her until now?!? She is such a wonderful artist! So happy to know about her now. 😃
Where have u been living under a stone 😂
Kate op zyn best.ja ja.
her music takes you to world that we wouln't have acces to without her
You're watching perfection across every musical category here. The best female artist this country has EVER produced.
You mean this planet
To be honest, any country has ever produced!
Alan Elliott, you forgot Joni Mitchell, Laura Nyro, Bjork, and Joanna Newsom.
Kate Bush is a one off. THE greatest singer songwriter musician producer of her time. I sadly fear that at 60 going on 61,yes she is of that age now,will we be hearing more from her? The last album she put out was in 2011.
Yes there have been fantastic female artists bjork, tori Amos(who is epic) ect.... But they all have one thing in common, they all aspire to Kate Bush. She's the Queen by far... Simply untouched amazingness😍
Simply a 'one off' a genius in the music industry... You don't just listen to her music, you become entranced by it.
Undoubtedly one of her most mesmerizing performances, the lyrics in this one are enough to put any man under her spell! A totally incredible artist!!
I'd say any man, woman or beast... I'm under her spell.
mmm yes!
素晴らしい❤
Hounds of Love is such a spectacular artistic achievement, but this… this is my favorite Kate Bush song, ever. She exceeds the source material.
Such a rare combination of class, style, femininity, beauty, sensuality And Great songwriting....
when you finally go outside after a month of isolation
UMMMMMM YESS
Ahhhhhhhh .....yes
🤩🤣..... yaaass
I tried to do this and look cool but I was too excited and danced into a tree. "Mmm..." *BONK*
snoopypal 😆🤩
she had a forest, some uilleann pipes, a sexy velvet outfit, her flawless vocal timbre, and a DREAM!
Kate Bush and church bells = audial bliss. Her wispy whispery shimmering voice does it to me every time. Gorgeous
"Wispy whispery shimmering voice"? Very well said, sir! Those adjectives describe Kate perfectly!
when i was 10 i discovered Kate Bush and people my age didn’t know her at all. Now i’m 16 and everyone loves her I’m so happy she’s getting recognition from gen z!!
I'm going to re-enact this video tomorrow when I take the dog down the park for his walk. Wish me luck.
much luck to you LOL!! every life needs a bit of fantasy and drama
Tom Ripley So how did it go?
Tom Ripley hahahahahaha
Bfdidc It was all going swimmingly until I did 02.21 to 02.32 into a duck pond, but thanks for asking.
Tom Ripley At least you weren't reenacting Experiment IV.
One of my favourite song from Kate with a beautiful historic costume 😊
Elegance beyond compare.
The night my Mum passed away I walked for hours with this song on repeat. Simply love everything about this song. Souns simple but many different layers and rythms. Amazing production and of course.. the voice. Always relaxes my mind in times of stress.
This is Kate connecting with her Irish roots (her mother was from Waterford in Ireland). Such a delight to see this gorgeous lady traipsing, dancing and singing through an ancient forest where fairies, leprechauns and elves dwell as the uileann pipes played by the great piper Davy Spillane ring out. Tolkien would have loved this. Simply sublime!
Spillane's evocation of a musical erection via the pipes made me laugh out loud - sheer genius.
Her mother was from New Ross, Wexford. Her dad was from Waterford. And of course this is a song about Molly Bloom from Ulysses - another Irish woman.
her mother was irish - her father english but yes her love for ireland and celtic culture rings true in a lot of her art....she even sang a song in gaelic - "mna na eireann - women of ireland "- a beautiful rendition!
@Mark Weaver that goes without saying - she is english after all :)
@Mark Weaver I stand corrected; her father was indeed British.
She has captured so many of us with her delightful and otherworldly heart. She is a whisper and a ghost that we interpret. I always feel like I’ve taken a flight with her. I am glad to know her through her music. I feel more complete every time I listen to her.
Ohh, mhmmm how wonderful! This woman creates music like no one else. Can't express my feelings...
Its anbelievibl. I love Kate music from 1991. Thanks.
Her Irish influences really shines through here.
She's English, get over it
wow.....everything ok at home, Messylin?
Yes, she is russian princes!
JameGumbsMigraines. she is half Irish I think
her mother was irish.
oooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh yessssssssssssssss...the almighty queen of british music...KATE BUSH.
+David Simpson Yeah, she truly is a Queen, and not just British music..just Queen in general. Almighty magic, the real stuff, not some micky mouse shit conjured up.
+LoveAge Agree
Beautiful music and lady

Best female artist in the world ever. What a talent and beautiful woman.
Tori Amos is a distant second.
Absolutely. No other female artist has a body of work anywhere close to Kate's. She is literally in a league of her own.
Nope. There's Joni Mitchell and Joanna Newsom.
Elizabeth Fraser (of Cocteau Twins glory) deserves to be mentioned in the same angelic breath.
@@gavinyuangao4366 good point !
Never been a fan of dance of any kind. This negativity goes back as far as grade school - and the Virginia Reel. Then I found Kate. Just don't know why I find her videos with dance the very top of the mountain in every way. I simply have to watch her make dance fun. She is so sublime.
Because she is an extraordinary dancer, maybe not in her technical ability, but certainly in her fluidity and grace. She was probably not as over-trained on acrobatics and endurance as a professional has to be for their own safety during rehearsals and the actual performance of extreme choreographies. She could afford to do less but with more ease and expression. She also had very good choreographers and videographers. These are all very professionally shot videos of her. These people knew how to make her look her best.
For those younger folks just finding Kate Bush... enjoy
Here have a strikingly beautiful lady who can write lyrics and songs, play instruments, produce her own albums, choreograph her videos and perform them theatrically and without the need to be vulgar, near-naked or offensive
She doesn't feel the need to kiss and tell, prostitute her art or crave social media attention
She speaks only when she has something to say
She took time (some might say too much time) to make sure that her albums were a unique anthology to be digested like a classic novel. She did not rush to release nine singles from each album trying to get three songs in the top ten simultaneously
She seldom toured, seldom gave glib small-talk interviews to TV and media and didn't sell her wedding or the birth of her children to Hello or OK magazine
Her first single at age 19 toped the Uk charts for four weeks. When she decided, after years in the studio and pursuing other interests in her life to perform live again in 2014 her 22 night residency at the Hammersmith Apollo sold out in 15 minutes flat.
This is Kate Bush... an Artist
Agree that she is a genius, but I've just come from watching Babooska, where she is pretty sexy. Perhaps given that we can agree she is spectacularly brilliant, we can also allow her to be a young sexual woman- or was she or does she feel now that she was being exploited then?
Well said! We can't stop time passing but we can point to those who have shown the way....
TheComputec my God thars perfect esp to be disgested like a classic novel. When i found Kate i chewed a little at a time because i didnt want the journey to end.
Kate Bush had full artistic control. Who was she exploited by???
pogopatterson42 In Babooska it made sense , and was only in part of it that she wore provocative clothes. It's all about the context.
I’m 65 (the same as Kate) and I’ve never heard of Stranger Things. I “found” her about a month ago from a You Tube channel I subscribe to. I don’t know where I’ve been all these years. She is one of the greatest performance artists I’ve ever seen. I’m totally obsessed with her music and can’t stop listening to her. What a joy she is ! Thank you Kate.
Better late than never!
Welcome but I have questions... Where were you? 😊

Bella, raffinata, sensuale, originale.
I'm currently reading Ulysses and if/when I finish that damned book I'll be sure to play this song at full volume and dance around the house in celebration.
:-)
With whiskey I hope. Because after finishing that (great ) novel you REALLY need to celebrate. And of course I know what you're alluding to. Slainte.
You are beautiful
Stop after Ulysses, give Finnegans Wake a miss.
any updates, alex?
Fabulous track. Brilliant artist at the top of her game. Stunningly beautiful woman.

What a charming beautiful witch I've found! 💃🏼🔥🌸 Bravo!
just discoverd this song today, man i love this vibe. and i love how she dances and struts through the woods like she owns that place.
I keep coming back here
I've been looking for this video for over thirty years. TH-cam, you've done it again.
I grew up with her music. As a kid when I first heard Wuthering heights, I fell in love with her work. She is a gift to humanity.
Me too 😊
I was just a bit too young for Wuthering Heights, enjoyed Running up that Hill with everybody else, but THIS, THIS SONG absolutely captured and enraptured me. I loved the albums the Red Shoes and Aerial, too, but the Sensual World will always be my personal highlight. Although the Hounds of Love run it an obviously close second.
She's so weird and artistic in the best way possible I love it.
She's not weird, not a fairy, not a witch, not an elf... she's a MUSICIAN.
@@isobeljames1328 When I say weird, I mean that as a compliment. Weird as different and unique because her artistry is one of a kind. Yes, she's a musician. Never doubted that.
I have always loved this video, it is so entrancing and fairytale like. She indeed was (is) a flame and beacon. The vibrato in Mmmmm is so captivating and love the celtic instruments blend into it. The video is almost witchy and hypnotizing. Lush, as most of her music. I was not familiar with all of her music at those years (songs like this of course were part of my childhood) but as a singer I am today, I went down the road of rediscovering her work, and she's absolutely mesmerizing. She paved the way for many women artists (including myself) to be OURSELVES and daring.
Ahhh yessss!!! Those "Mmmmmmm"s are delicious. And she's like a goddess prancing through the forest.
This woman can do no wrong in my eyes,musical genius 💕💕
Never be anyone like her again!
First time hearing this Kate bush song and seeing this music video...its absolutely magical...no, its extraordinary. I swear this woman is some kind of mystical being.
Pure timeless sensuality encapsulated in a beautiful being she's a goddess of another world. She makes me proud to be a woman...
She makes me proud to be British
There will never be another female artist like her again, talented beyond belief!
Men can be sensual too.
The perfect autumn song 🍂
i just discovered this song yesterday and im inlove
I absolutely love this song and album.Kate is awesome
I've always felt that Kate Bush was like an old English folk singer / dancer brought into the modern age. This instrumentation in this track sums that image up perfectly for me.
I hope I don't come across as shaming other women (that is absolutely not what i'm about), but I admire how Kate is able to express her sexuality in a music video without being scantily clad.
And I feel as though she is doing it for herself rather than pandering to men.
I love the song, the video, her dancing, and the lyrics (even though i'm more of a 'sound' person than 'lyric' person).
Interestingly, she was scantily clad in her Babushka video because the material warranted it. Kate Bush is pure class and knows what to give and what to withhold for maximum effect as an artist.
Kate expresses her femininity as sensuality the exact lyrics sexuality is the idea in your mind she elicits from you
its Seduction and Kate is a very hot dripping tripping honey trap
She empowers women to just be who they truly are without worrying about feeling wierd but proud to be different (empowers men too of course) all who are outsiders 🙏🎶💚
Yes, she's female empowerment. Like the lore of the goddess Diana and her nymphs who hunt the peeping tom with no respect for privacy, to their peril.
Love the mythical combined with this kind of music,my imagination artistically inspires me.
Shes just amazing.
Perfection. Pure perfection on all levels. Brings something up from the very depths.
I haven't listened to Kate since the 90s. I just fell back in love with her all over again.
My mind is being blown right now, can't put my finger on it. I feel like I'm peeking into another dimension the visuals the music man this women is amazing. Oh my dam yes, she a real life siren I feel like I'm being hypnotized
Agree totally with Jay Paul. Never really appreciated Kate Bush until in my late 40's. Now, I'm completely captivated by her music. If there is such a thing as a modern day pop musical genius then Kate Bush has got to amongst the best contenders. Brilliant, just brilliant.
