Post your favorite Kate Bush song
ITT
rubberbond james bond
Get Out of My House
Either Suspended In Gaffa or Wuthering Heights
can't beat the classics
I just listened to this song for the first time and it's fucking incredible.
A Sky of Honey
Mother Stands for Comfort
I can't find it anywhere. Is this legit?
Oblivi... err Cloudbusting.
Feel It
HEATHCLIFF, IT'S ME I'M CA-
oh wait i'm supposed to give a meme answer, my bad
I showed my friend Kate Bush and he said that she was garbage and cliche :(
Probably either Night of the Swallow or Jig of Life.

Always been a toss up between these two

Night of the Swallow is the best
>You will never EVER touch her bush
Time kill myself
iktf
She kind of is
fuck right off
>you will never listen to Waking The Witch for the first time again
all the 'wake up..' stuff tripped me the fuck out.
Writer in the Dark
Man, it happened to me to. They said that her voice was to weird...
Anyways I love Cloudbusting. Walking the witch is great to.
But her stuff is overly predictable and cheesy at most times. Just listen to the fucking chorus to Hounds of Love. There's your proof.
Lying in bed listening to this album for the first time was fucking amazing and waking the Witch was probably the best part
It was a fucking trip

>Night of the Swallow
what did she mean by this?
what did you mean by this?
THE BIG SKY
>Writer in the Dark
I really don't get why people say this song is Bush's esque.
who is better: kate bush or claire boucher?
For me it's Sat In Your Lap
claire is slightly better than kate
>cherrypicking her most conventional song
literally kill yourself
If they're used to listening to Florence+The Machine, Joanna Newsom, or Tori Amos then maybe she feels a bit cliched, but only because all of them based their careers off of her.
Cloudbusting.
All kino choices lads
he's saying Rubberband Girl ya doof.
(also a good choice)
3 am, laying in bed, no lights on, no idea what's coming, just so happen on the 30th anniversary of the album's release.
You never forget your first.
All of Kate's realeases from 1980 to 1985 are kino.
I think there are a lot of cool ideas in her songs, but it's mixed with really cheesy shit.
>If they're used to listening to Florence+The Machine, Joanna Newsom, or Tori Amos then maybe she feels a bit cliched
Why Joanna? I get the others, but Joanna isn't very Bushian at all. She's much more in the Vashti Bunyan/Roy Harper mold.
Night of the Swallow and Suspended in Gaffa tie for top spot.
Top kek
A lot of Have One on Me gives me Bush vibes.
What songs have you listened to?
Her voice is high pitched like Kate voice in the Kicking Side, thats like the biggest similarity.
Suspended in Gaffa
I get goosebumps during "I don't know why I'm crying"
Sat in Your Lap b

>when the cover is better than the original
Mother stands for Comfort
The singing is deadpan compared to Kate
link unrelated?
Every time I listen to her I get bored. She might not even be technically good. I might be feeling the same feeling I get when I nod to an opening act whose music is neither insufferable nor memorable, but I can't tell because I fall asleep before I finish her albums.
What a shitty cover. They ruined the song.
Took me a while to get into it. still don't like all of her music
Experiment IV. Amazing music video incoming:
youtube.com
>Hugh Laurie
>Dawn French
>Gary Oldman
Also Maester Aemon
Kick Inside, Never For Ever, Lionheart, The Dreaming, Hounds of Love, The Sensual World
Night of the Swallow, a beautiful masterpiece
50 WORDS FOR SNOW IT'S MY LIFE
truly underrated
I can't believe people actually prefer this shit over Kate Bush's original. It's like if you sucked all the emotion out of it and added in emo subtext. Completely ruins the song, Jesus Christ.
What songs on those albums specifically have cheesy elements about them? What makes them cheesy?
I know right. It's such an amazing album and the vocals are just precious,
OK REMEMBA
In general just the repetitive call-and-response stuff. I don't really feel like going into it
She really has too many amazing songs to choose from, but probably Constellation of the Heart.
Pretty much anything from The Dreaming is superb, but Suspended in Gaffa is probably the best.
Wuthering Heights and Running Up that Hill are tied for second.
Yeah, I love Rubberband Girl too.
HE SHOUTED OUT
I genuinely don't know what call and response stuff you're referring to, so I'm just gonna assume you have no idea what you're talking about. Can't even be bothered to give one example?
>genuinely don't know what call and response stuff you're referring to
t. Someone Who's Never Heard a Kate Bush Album
Call and response is the singer saying something with a background vocal singing in reply.
There's not all that much of that in Kate Bush records. The Dreaming maybe has the most of it. That's why I'm asking for just one specific example of where it's "cheesy".
this sucks though
Just decided to finally give Kate Bush a chance and listened to The Dreaming. Holy fuck. That was insanely enjoyable, I'm genuinely blown away and intrigued as fuck for the rest of her material. I only knew her hit singles before but now I'm definitely gonna venture into her albums.
I'm sorry for not doing this sooner, Kate. By the way you were unbelievably fucking cute.
Under the ice
I'm sorry to inform you that you started with the best album. The good news is that she has at least 5-6 other albums that aren't as good, but are still fantastic. Particularly Hounds of Love.
hounds of love
Yeah I get the impression The Dreaming will remain my favourite going by summaries of the other albums' styles. I'm not really fussed though as long as they're good.
I can't really remember any songs from the album besides a few, despite the fact I finished listening about 15 minutes ago, because it has all blended into one entire collage of sound and weird vocals in my mind since. Really loved it though.
MOMMY
It's "mummy", you fat American cunt.
but it's not tho
FOR THE HONOUR OF GRAYSKULL
placebo is one of my favourite bands, but this cover is not that great
grimesfan here. wtf is this thread about the legendary kate doing at page 10?
idk desu
I want to _______ Kate Bush
go back in time and cuddle young
the one where she's yowling like a cat in heat
If you can't see how she can be seen as cheesy by some, than I don't know what to tell you
The Hounds of Love is also great. And the second part pf the album is as weird as The Dreaming.
Same happened to me, didn't care much for Kate until I listened to that album and now I'm a fan.
Kinda true, but since getting some of her stuff on vinyl I deprived myself from that album until I get a hold of the physical copy. It's amazing how different Hounds sounds when listened in the media it was made for, same for the sensual world, the amount of layers lost in it getting "digitalized" are incredible. Some songs sound very different.
To answer OPs question, the whole 9th wave minus first and last song (I know they serve a purpose, but the middle part is just perfection)
Nobody says Depper Understanding? Kate predicted the rise of technology and NEETs
this, you immediately know you are listening to something monumental
lmao
Cliched, perhaps. But banger none the less:
Running up that Hill
I almost posted it, but then remembered that album also has The Fog, Sensual World, Reaching Out, Rockets Tail, This Woman's Work, etc. But yeah Deeper Understanding is gr8
That album is seriously underrated, her last masterpiece (wouldn't mind removing all the Gilmour parts but there no that bad)
Surprised no one EVER mentions Love and Anger, that song helped me get through tough times srs
2nd reply nailed it, no further posts necessary
youtu.be
Is this allowed
good song
but it's Peter Gabriel and when he played it live he got a random grill to sing Kate's part or Sinnead O'connor
fun fact, whe he toured worldwide in 92 he did his two duos with any popular female singer from the country he was in, resulting in some weird to awfull performances,
Cant find the one time he played it in Argentina with Celeste Carballo a semi-popular butch dyke blues/folk singer that cant even into english, saw it on TV as a kid an man, that was terrible
Its a bummer that Kate didnt tour between 1979 i think to 2014.
love these choices i would say night of the swallow myself
Just give one example of what you're talking about.
what's up with all this kate bushposting lately?
I don't know but I like it
Whats a good album to start my Kate Bush experience with?
