have gone on a bit of a deep dive bc of this track's resurgence and I am so glad. Discovered alot of songs I knew were hers that I didn't realize previously.
I really like this song, from the album The Red Shoes.
In terms of mainstream popularity, I think Kate Bush was just a little bit ahead of the curve. The Red Shoes is the only album that she released in the 1990s, a decade that would have been more receptive to her music than the 80s.
After this past week, I've decided that I hate this damn song. made it almost 40 years thinking it was fine.
This response has made me very confused. Do you think she’s an American artist? Kate Bush has been living in England her whole life, she has toured the UK and EU once for six weeks in 1979 and then played 22 concerts in London in 2014. She has always been higher charting in the UK and EU than in the US. What makes you assume she has a bigger fanbase in the US?
Her 50 Words For Snow album from 2011 is amazing.
There is also The Other Sides which is a 4 disc collection of b-sides/remixes.
It's interesting to see a song that I remember from it's original release being treated like it's some massive hit that just came out, but that's the internet age.....
I was just thinking about this early 90s track that sampled her song "Cloudbusting". Anyone remember?
