How refreshing to see a female artist who has been able to grow from a teenager with her first #1 to a mature woman in her 60's who still reaches #1. All this without having to compromise her integrity. Never once did she bow to fashion or record company. She did it her way. She is an English rose.
When people talk about "national treasure" - it's often misplaced and hyperbolic. Not so with Kate. She genuinely is that, and much more. An amazing artist, yet completely humble with it.
The Red Shoes album was too real. Hurts like hell. I like all of her albums, every single one of them. But The Red Shoes hits different when you are older.
I'm ashamed to say, as a lifelong Kate Bush fan, that I didn't discover this song until 2005. By the time this was released I was pretty much living within 70s/80s Kate. Now, to me, this is one of her finest songs.... it's so sad, so heartbreaking... life is sad and so is love (never a truer word spoken)... but also kind of hopeful... live your life for love. It never leaves me... resonates completely. She is the greatest artist of all time.
Kate goes to places others fear to tread! It was said that Adele's third album was going to be about motherhood but she canned it, few have the uncompromising conviction of Kate Bush when it comes to expressing oneself from a deep place, it is her most endearing trait which we all love her for
And now we see that life is sad and so is love. THOSE WORDS HAVE ECHOED DOWN THE DECADES They haunt MY DREAMS AND MY WAKING LIFE. they are the truest words i EVER HEARD in any song poem anything ever.
Someone said he "could" listen to Kate all day and night. I DO listen to Kate all day and night. She is the only music I've listened to over the last 6 months!
Kate truly is a one of a kind artist. She always delivers. She always is original. She always surprises big time. When Before The Dawn was released I played only that album for over a year, day in day out.
@@IvanLendl87 Hello. Yes. Mostly I listen to music in my car. I have been listening to the CDs in order for the last few weeks. I just began "Ariel" this morning.
one of the most powerful emotional songs, and video to match, ever. her yearning, expressions, introverted sadness and shell shocked demeaner are just hypnotizing. I've sat in front of that candle myself, all night, and I KNOW she has too.
Sensual World is arguably The underrated release champion from the otherworldly talent the world over now knows as Kate Bush. Soon to be inducted in the Rock HOF, The icon for so many aspiring past and present artists such as Natasha Khan and Caroline Polachek. Cheers. 🙏🏼🙌🏼
Just discovered this. I was thinking "Oh, a nice lyrical Kate Bush ballad".... and then... OMG, THAT'S CLAPTON ON GUITAR! Life doesn't get any better than this!
Another heart-ripper by Kate - made all the more significant by Eric's sublime guitar work. Get two of the finest people for vocals, lyrics and instrumentation and you create timeless beauty. Another gem in Kate's crown.
For the last 23 years I have had your name tattooed on my left hand because you give me the words I don't know how to speak. About life, about love, about racism, about break ups, about how to be a decent person. A decent person is you, Kate. I see it on my left hand every day.
I have never been able to listen to this without it bringing me to tears. I'm sobbing as I type. It's been a few years since I last let myself hear this beautiful song because of the emotions it invokes me.
Here I sit in the dark looking out my window at the part of the city where I live. With Kate Bush’s soothing sounds. And yes I absolutely recommend it.
@@shumeister1059 I think too it is separation through death. maybe it is even more sad now than it was then. Since our world has been turned upside down by crazy people.
@@StevePhillips My condolences to the departed. Ironically turmoil seems to be helping people realize a lot of issues that's been largely ignored. The best outcome would be for humans to evolve and learn to treat each other better.
@@shumeister1059 I know it is not possible to bring real peace from chaos. But, hopefully we can at least make a stand against injustice. Yes, maybe a turmoil providing it doesn't become a complete disaster could be viewed as a wake up call to treat one another better that is a great hope, but only time will tell.
@@StevePhillips Everything will work out in the end. Because I think imbalance is unsustainable without a lot of effort, and therefore will eventually come to a balanced point, where humanity's inequality will have to end. So I believe in that sort of fate. The question how will those that continue to uphold injustice/inbalance etc retreat? Kicking and screaming? or come to an understanding and leave gracefully? That's something that's been on my mind for many years... but it's starting to make some sense to me. Everything comes to an end. I think that's the law of nature / life. On the other hand, personal inner peace is possible through practice of meditation; quieting the mind, discovering the inner world within. There are many teachers out there. And through inner peace, we can influence the outer world.
I'm SHOCKED. I can't believe i've been a fan of both Kate Bush and Eric Clapton for years, and I had no idea they were reunited on this song ? My favorites worlds colliding and nobody warned me ? EVER ? I can't trust no one.
Watching this video and listening to the song ... I tear up! There will never be another like Kate bush! She knows how to make you cry !! ( but in a good way)
Hell, this is one of those KB tracks that explodes in your face years after. The simple Fairlight keyboard, that great sparse guitar, and when she launches into the big vocal mid section .... [expletive deleted] .....
One of my absolute favorite songs of her. If she only knew how much i appreciate her work. How much she inspires me and makes me feel better when I’m sad.
Escutei essa música a primeira vez quando assisti o curta metragem: A linha, a cruz e a curva. Obra malinterpretada pelos críticos que não enxergaram tamanho potencial nessa mulher. Amo Kate Bush e suas músicas sempre me fazem arrepiar.
This song helped me a lot in the terror of 1994 when I knew for sure that 1983 was coming again. Thank you for the warm quiet of this song My psyche is in rebellion : I can't stand to live this encounter of 1983, 1989, 1992-1996, 2012 and 2020 another time without leaving you in real death. (written after: wrong ! when it happens again, I'll have to find the way to live and continue to love you)
Say what you want about the movie, but no one can deny that the visuals are stunning! I love the metaphor about the bird. This song is so beautiful and so underrated, one of my favorites on the album.
One of the fabulous things about Kate's music is that even the pauses between the words are thoughtfully paced, not just "end of verse line". I love this song for its subdued, almost sombre tone which adds extra poignancy to the message: "and now we see that life is sad, and so is love."
ONE DAY I FOUND LOVE ,IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL ,IT MOVED MY WHOLE SOUL , IT WAS SUCH A VERY BEAUTIFUL FEELING ,AND NOW , IT FEELS LIKE I DONT KNOW WHERE IT IS AT THE MOMENT , HAS IT GONE AWAY LIKE EVERY FUCKING THING ELSE, GARETH
Very much underrated I feel, something about this utterly throws that stake through my heart in that way that I enjoy. Genuinely beautiful, and from an album I'm still trying to get my head around.
And you huh? You do huh? We let it in We give it out And in the end What's it all about? It must be love I give you my I give you my You give me your You give me your joy We used to say "Ah Hell, we're young" But now we see that life is sad And so is love Ooh baby live your life for love Ooh baby live your life for love We used to say "Ah Hell, we're young" But now we see that life is sad And so is love Ooh baby for the sake of love Ooh baby for the sake of love And whatever happens What really matters? It's all we've got Isn't that enough? Life is sad and so is love You let it slip You let it slip I love you more I love you more for it Life is sad and so is love All for love Just for the sake of love You set me free I set you free
The heartbreaking moment... 01:50 until 02:30 Many say she's a bad actress, but particularly this moment was so sincere and damn sad: "We used to say "Ah Hell, we're young ... But now we see that life is sad. And so is love."
I remember the first time I watched this song. I was sat with mum and we were watching the line the cross and the curve film, then and so is love came on and I just thought it was amazing how kate brought such emotion to the performance and it was just her alone mainly focused on her face and I thought that's the kind of emotion I want to bring to my acting, she's just so inspiring in every way, love and admire you so much kate x
I haven’t read all comments, but haven’t seen mention of the fact that was about this time that her marriage broke up, this song may reflect her feelings at the time.
+Vin Wesley I really doubt that she will perform again. If you are in the UK, go and watch 'Cloudbusting', the Kate Bush tribute band. Believe me, they are as close to the Kate Bush experience as you can get.
My heart hurt because I wasn't able to see her! She likely won't be doing another show. Since she doesn't like to tour, she should have concerts and we'll go to her.

She's a musical genius
It's all we've got
Isn't that enough. 😢❤
Why can't it be enough? Why am I so stupid.. .. ;
Not only is her music divine, she's also one of the most stunning women I've ever seen.
Agreed Upon, 1 in a million 🖤
Literally, no one would disagree with you on that one, mate.
Unique is an understatement pure class x
@@jukkaikomi1763 One in a billion!
Yes
I discovered Kate Bush when I was 16 years old. I was fascinated by her voice. 40 years later Im back and still think the same.
Me too! Iam 54. I was 13 when I first discovered her!
And me! Remember hearing this on TOTP blew me away.
Kate Bush never ages. She is eternal.
Same here
Same and same age…
For me, Kate is the epitome of the woman in all her womanly wonder. The best female artist to have lived to date

She is uncompromising and has the talent to back it up.
@@philrob1978,768😮f7kfyf
Definitely a national treasure I've loved her for the past 30 odd years (my mum loves her so I was brought up listening to her stunning voice)
She's of Irish parentage.. Hence the good looks and the excellence in the arts ❤
Masterpiece❤
Who else could get Clapton to play so sparingly, achingly? Kate is superb.
Try 'we're going wrong' cream
Clapton. Who is he
@@irenasikanic9478 Eric Clapton
What a privilege for Eric.
Kates like, oh i got Jeff Beck and Prince on this album too.
The most beautiful melancholy.Utter sensuality and femininity.
Simply amazing.
4 minutes of pure brilliance. I'm in the clouds.
I'll second that.
***** your a naughty person.
Same comment for each Kate's songs ? She deserve more ^^
that's how wonderful she is...
One of her best songs...........
Probably one of, if not the best female artist of the past 50 years.
I'd go further and say 'ever'.
Kate Bush And So Is Love is one of my personal favorite song
What an absolutely stunning woman- such an inspiration on so many levels and has never sacrificed her talent for fame.
I literally got chills listening again ... nearly 30 years later.
The Red Shoes album was too real. Hurts like hell. I like all of her albums, every single one of them. But The Red Shoes hits different when you are older.
Kate Bush's angelic vocals + Eric Clapton's deeply emotional guitar skills = heaven
Couldn't agree more. Kate at his best, Clapton at his very best.
A make out anthem

Christopher Craig When I've bought new vinyls, I give them a spin to check for defects. Then I go back to listening to Kate.
I'm in awe of Kate Bush, always have been, I just can't put it into words,just touches my soul I guess.
Gopal var neu
A stunning piece of music. Kate Bush you leave them standing.
Lets just break this video down...its just Kate a candle and a bird..its really beautiful..only Kate could pull this off.
one of the most powerful emotional songs, and video to match, ever. her yearning, expressions, introverted sadness and shell shocked demeaner are just hypnotizing. I've sat in front of that candle myself, all night, and I KNOW she has too.
Best break up song ever. Such simple lyrics but they hit the spot. 'You set me free, I set you free"...
Exceptionally beautiful, talented beyond belief, our Kate. ❤️🇬🇧
i could listen to the beautiful Kate Bush all day and night,simply wonderful.
The Red Shoes 👠 is such an underrated record. Almost as good as Hounds of Love in many respects.
The Red Shoes is such a perfect album.
My favourite album
@@laraking804 the perfect album when you are on a drive in the car by yourself and you need time to think

"If I had a flower for every time I thought of you, I could walk in my garden forever."

I have followed Kate since I heard cloud busting in 85 ❤
"Life is sad and so is love."
This woman understands me.
This woman understands us all!
this woman doesnt know you at all.. but maybe you feel a connection to the lyrics of that song and you resonate with it.
She just lights a candle and plays with a bird but it's more powerful than anything because she's Kate Bush
I'm never ready for when she goes into her higher register at 2.06, blows me away every time!
This is nothing less than ethereal with kate and Eric hitting that strat
Just discovered this. I was thinking "Oh, a nice lyrical Kate Bush ballad".... and then... OMG, THAT'S CLAPTON ON GUITAR!
Life doesn't get any better than this!
And Gary Brooker on keyboard.
then you hear Top of The City and its more like the cherry 🍒 on top of the sundae.
Never gets old. Timeless music and vocals by the incredible Kate Bush.
Another heart-ripper by Kate - made all the more significant by Eric's sublime guitar work. Get two of the finest people for vocals, lyrics and instrumentation and you create timeless beauty. Another gem in Kate's crown.

1:54 One of her finest songs,absolutely love this
Absolute Feminine Perfection. This was a fantastic song when first released, and it is still a fantastic song today. It is absolutely beautiful.
.... one of her finest and of course the magic of Clapton elevates it.
Just the best,pure talent,never get bored listening to someone with so much talent
This beautiful genius with the ability to give you goose bumps every single time. Bless you Kate.
This is what perfection looks like. Thanks to exist Cathy :)
The Red Shoes is one of Kates best albums.

Brilliant!
No , Kate is not a god, she is a Goddess.What a fantastic song.
What a brilliant statement
This is a song written by a Goddess for Gods and humans alike.
@@voodooxcoffee3314 she's an empress of goddesses I think
