In her first album especially in The Saxophone Song, she sounds so young and angelic. Can't wait to see your reactions to the rest of the album already! I'm 19 and I feel more connected to her first two albums. She was around my age when she released her debut album is just simply amazing. What a talent, what a human being. ❤
indra "Saxophone Song" and "Man With The Child In His Eyes" on the album were actually recorded as a demo paid for by Dave Gilmour when she was 16, along with "Maybe" which was later released as "Humming", So she didn't only 'sound' young, she was young.
This song is from the demo that David Gilmour paid for and Kate recorded when she was 16. Yes, that's the 16 year old Kate there. Her vocals are different, more pure soprano without the "vocal gymnastics" she adopted at 19. All the session musicians on this album were picked by Andrew Powell and David Gilmour, the co-producers. She recorded three songs on that demo - this, "The Man With The Child In His Eyes", and a third one which I think has never appeared on any official record. Such a precocious talent, she wrote this song at 15, and "The Man With The Child In His Eyes" when she was 12.
The third sing finally appeared in 2018 as part of "The Other Sides" in her remasters project. It's called "Humming" and is a tribute to David Bowie. It's a nice song, but I can see why it was left of the album.
Kate’s voice on this track is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard……so sweet, so angelic, still gives me goosebumps and makes my eyes well up after all these years. A truly stunning song.
Excellent comment and well said, for an album that holds a special place in my heart as it is the very first LP I ever listened to when I was 5 yo back in 1979! Best Wishes, Ian
Loved it. There's a lot of Joni Mitchell influence here; jazzy Joni as well as folky Joni. I didn't think of a Steely Dan connection, but if Kate Bush sang for them, I might even like them! 😉. I agree about the coda (play out); it' a great, trippy groove.
Some might think this song hasn't aged well, cause its sounds and style are really rooted in the 1970s (the album was released in 1978 but this song was recorded in 1975 when Kate was only 17), but I have always found it charming. Agree with U, Justin, the coda is amazing
Back in the 80's, I bought The Kick Inside on cassette and there were no lyrics included. I couldn't understand a word of this song, but I still loved it. Made me feel like I was flying - dabba dabba doo-WOO-oooooo-OOO-oooo!
I think this was one of the tracks recorded when Kate was 16, so I doubt if she had much control over the session or personnel. It's a track I can enjoy for its simple naivety, although it's really quite slight and no better than average. If this had been the best of which she was capable I don't think her career would have flourished as it did.
One of her two ‘odes’ to instruments, the other being Violin, which you’ve already reacted to. In The Saxophone Song she fleetingly skirts with using her voice to mimic a sound or feeling, namely the ‘dabadabadoooooo’ onomatopoeia. In the later song Violin she uses her voice as an instrument to replicate some wild bowing actions on a fiddle. Later again with Rubberband Girl she uses her vocals and harmonies to sonically recreate to almost subsonic tones of stretched elastic. And then on the Aerial album she again uses vocal ideas with harmonies to recreate low moaning of wind around structures in the awesome How To Be Invisible. I love how adventurous she can be in her artistry. She was a pioneer and a true individual. Fearless.
Hello JP, I going to add this comment to one of your excellent Kate Bush reactions in light of the literal exponential surge of interest in "Running Up That Hill" due its heavy use in #StrangerThings this was certainly didn't have this on any bingo card. Now the single charts are being published in countries, a couple of notable points. First, it entered straight into number 2 of the Australian singles charts which is the highest position Running Up Thaf Hill has ever reached in Australia. Running Up That Hill entered into number 8 of the UK singles charts which meant that Kate Bush became the fist female artist to have, at least one top 12 hit single in the UK chart for SIX consecutive decades 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, 2010s 2020s an unbelievable achievement, which I don't know if it will ever be matched. So very much keeping my fingers crossed for the Billboard charts on Tuesday. Any idea when you will posting your next Kate Bush reaction? Anyway all the best.
Hi JP, enjoying your eloquence as you work your way through the very first album I listened to waaay back in 1979 when I was a mere pup of 5 years old! As you have already done Wuthering Heights, you could replace that track with the re-recorded version that Kate Bush did for her 1986 greatest hits LP The Whole Story? Just a thought, to see what you make of the 80s type mix she gave it. :) Appreciating the effort that goes into uploads and the editing etc, Ian 👍
The Saxophone Song was one of the demos Dave Gilmour paid for, The Man With The Child In His Eyes is also one of them, I think this was 1975 and she was 16. You can hear that she sounds younger and a bit more shy when she sings, she sounds so innocent and sweet. This song is so beautiful. The instrumental part at the end is a masterpiece, I always look forward to it. I'm so excited for you to hear Strange Phenomena next, it's one of my favorite songs and it's so magical.
Great review, as ever JP. I've said it before elsewhere, but this album blew me away in 1978 with the writing and vocal performances, from one so young at the time.
A few suggestions for reactions: Mars Volta - Cygnus Vismund Cygnus or Roulette Dares, Queenadreena - Ruby or Crow, Concrete Blonde - God is a Bullet, Joanna Newsom - Emily, Sam Phillips - Circle of Fire, Maria McKee - Scarlover or Absolutely Barking Stars
This is a great, mellow track, totally in keeping with the album, but not a patch on her other instrument-named song, the wonderfully bonkers 'Violin' off Never for Ever 🙂
Alan Skidmore is quite a name in jazz and jazz-rock. He plays on one of our favorite jazz-rock albums. It is "Inside: Missing Link", a solo album of German guitarist Volker Kriegel (who is definitely worth listening to, especially this album); Skidmore does for example play the sax solo in this track of the album: th-cam.com/video/8H-ynyVyv_c/w-d-xo.html The album has a top line-up; besides Kriegel on electric and acoustic guitars (and banjo on one track) there are Albert Mangelsdorff on trombone (he was widely considered to be the best trombone player in the world during his lifetime; the 1976 live album "Trilogue" featuring only Albert Mangelsdorff on trombone, Jaco Pastorius on bass and Alphonse Mouzon on drums is legendary), Alan Skidmore on soprano and tenor saxophone, Heinz Sauer on tenor saxophone, John Taylor on electric piano, Eberhard Weber on bass, John Marshall on drums and Cees See on percussion, voice, flutes and effects. Anyone who loves jazz should get a kind of eargasm from the line-up alone.
While the folklore is that this song was inspired by David Bowie, who played some sax, Kate herself stated in interview that she wrote the song about the instrument, not any person. Oh...as for the "bowels" thing...you can feel a good tenor sax in your guts when it hits those low notes. Blessings.
Hearing some early Kate Bush really takes me back. I was just trying to think of suggestions. Dylan's Blood On The Tracks is a very obvious one, although I guess that would take you back into being blocked. I will suggest that you finish a couple of albums: Van Morrison's Astral Weeks and Thomas Dolby's Flat Earth. I don't know how other people feel, but I like the fact that you explore a lot of stuff that I'm unfamiliar with. The optimum ratio for me is maybe 70% unknown to 30% known, but then I never had a vast album collection, tended to concentrate on a few artists I really liked. Cheers.
I was told: "We have too many violinists, could you pick another instrument?" when I launched my noncareer as cornetist for various Charlotte school bands. Since that time, I have tried my hand at many instruments, and I found Saxophone to be one of the easiest to get killer sounds from. I should 'splain that "killer" was a term used in the olden times for "insane", "bad", "fire" and other terms which actually indicate something good, ironically. I say...go for it, Justin. Did you know Justin Hayward's middle name is David...like Thoreau? Phil Glass has done some great work for Saxophone as has the California Saxophone Orchestra, I believe they are called. The orgiastic quality of Kate's song might be due to the fact of a saxophone having roughly the same size and shape of the male organ and/or "mellotron", as I call it.
Right, a whale of a start. She really sings with a porpoise! At the age of 16, a talent like this you don't Sea Lion around! No White noise here, nor a Blue note, Immediately straightened my Humpback and sat up. And a Killer ending also Seals it, Otter genius. I'll Clam up now, Peace.
When I was very young I did not like saxophone at all. There was a band leader in some of those boring TV shows who played sax and since I did not like the music I did not like the instrument. Jimi Hendrix taught me how wonderful the instrument actually can be by his song Rainy Day Dream Away from Electric Ladyland. Since I heard that I love it. You can ceate so many divers sounds and atmospheres with it - if you can . One of my favorite songs of all times is "Will You?" by Hazel O'Connor from her movie "Breaking Glass" just because of the saxophone part. Not only the cherry on the cake but a complete cherry tree. Incredible. Or should I say: Unbelievable? th-cam.com/video/Ou96vLl--e4/w-d-xo.html
7:31 Have you ever listened to King Pleasure? It's from long ago, but I think you'd enjoy his singing. He sometimes sang the solo that the instrument would play. It's really cool stuff. 'Red Top' from 1953 is a fun one. 'This Is Always' is another one I think you'll enjoy : )
It’s simply magical sounding, from the beginning. I agree that Kate wasn’ t afraid to add the erotic and fysicallity in songs like this. Breaking down some taboo in the proces
I like this song but agree with other comments stating that the ending with repetitious keyboard line is too long or underdeveloped. I would have preferred more improvisation from the saxophone to take the song out. Still, a good song from Kate.
Inspired by David Bowie's saxophoneplaying. Did she watch him playing at a Berlin bar? Nice tune, easy listening, but certainly not one of her greatest. This album obviously contains songs from an early age. It held a promise, as we know it did.
"The song isn't about David Bowie. I wrote it about the instrument, not the player, at a time when I really loved the sound of the saxophone - I still do. No, I don't know him personally, though I went to his "Farewell to Ziggy Stardust" concert and cried, and so did he." - Kate Bush
I've heard some people literally have orgasms to music, so maybe Kate is one of them? Must be great OTOH, but then ... OTOH ... OTÖH ... it must be a bit distracting. Would create some challenges for a performing artist not offering the orgasm itself as entertainment. I liked the surprise turns in the melody. Got all frisky, started panting, tongue lolling, mounted the sofa and humped it for a few moments ... oh no, hang on, that wasn't me, that was a dog I knew a long time ago. It just occurs to me that you may somehow have missed out on hearing about the lost album of *John Coltrane* ? Here's one of the nameless tracks: th-cam.com/video/q7X2X7LDFok/w-d-xo.html (I was busy doubting that the sax playing in this song was "sax hero" stuff, and from that one drifts to who might indeed be a sax inspiration ... and from there the path is quite obvious).
On the topic of sax that I seem to have drifted onto, *Panzerballett* has a song called *Der Saxdiktator* th-cam.com/video/ySoqvXUFt0Y/w-d-xo.html Anyway, that's enough sax and drugs and rock 'n jazz for now.
Despite the promise of the title (I do love the sax), what an insipid little number this turned out to be. Bland, low key, and those various sax noodlings far too tame. Partic that ending, sounded like the keys and sax were just practicing scales through that overlong outro. Very disappointing. *Just a thought JP, but how about a few more instrumentals. There the writer/composer, with no words to hide behind, at least has to try a bit harder on making better, more interesting music.
Don't forget to always make suggestions for me. I can't make guarantees, but at least it gives me an idea of directions to explore (I got some National Health coming for you though 🙂)
I've noticed that you always criticize the music. Are you a music critic, cause you sound like one. When I listen to a reaction and don't like it, I say nothing and just move on. Try that sometime. It's a lot better than engaging in negativity all the time.

David Gilmour ‘discovered’ her and unleashed her amazing talent on us.
Well done Sir,well done 👏
It feels like a song about a very specific bliss that doesn't leave the Berlin bar, but carries that moment to everyone.

Yeah, another great Kate song.
More sax - Steely Dan of course.
An incredibly erotic song. "Tune me in on your saxophone...." Phew! Then the trippy coda with the offbeat drums etc
I like this song but agree with other comments stating that the ending with repetitious keyboard line is too long or underdeveloped. I would have preferred more improvisation from the saxophone to take the song out.
Still, a good song from Kate.
My favorite Kate Bush album is "The Dreaming", followed closely by "Hounds of Love". Both are dessert island selections.
Same as me. Both are perfect albums, IMO.
Please do The Smiths - I Know It's Over
And kate usually has double meanings in her songs and often those double meanings are sexual or, with kate, we say sensual
Sensational debut album not my favourite track of it although still gd next song is possibly my favourite but there’s so many belters of this debut
That sounds like Dick Perry on that Sax
In fact, I prefer the coda of the song to the song itself ! Nice but that's all.
Anything from The Kick Inside is brilliant 👏.
Thanks for covering songs from my favorite KB album. ✌
