What is your favourite Kate Bush song?

[EachandEveryone]

I wondered why my niece (19) was asking me about seeing Kate Bush at Hammersmith afew years as she’d never mentioned her before. Ive never watched Stranger Things but how lovely that a new generation is listening to her www.theguardian.com/music/2022/jun/10/kate-bushs-running-up-that-hill-climbs-higher-than-ever-to-no-2-in-charts i was 8 in 1979 but can still remember being hypnotised by her. And then after that she was the soundtrack to my uni days.

I love Sensual World and Army Dreamers her videos were bizarre😃

All. Of. Them.

I've been in love with her for 42 years. Her music is the soundtrack to my life.

I was never a particular fan, until I saw Kate and her band performing Running up That Hill on the Wogan show when it first came out in 85. I just couldn’t believe how brilliant the song was, musically rhythmically & lyrically. We have all thought ‘If I only could, I’d make a deal with God’ at some point, haven’t we? I bought Hounds of Love as soon as I could and I still have my copy today.

Under The Ivy , so delicate & haunting, same with This Woman’s Work.
You Want Alchemy “ they turn the roses into gold” 🐝
An Architect’s Dream, it’s full of sunshine.
Hounds of Love
It’s impossible to pick, she is incredible & her videos are stunning.
I was fortunate to see Kate at Hammersmith in 2014 absolutely amazing and unforgettable.

Fellow Lion 🦁❤️ here , her music is a constant in my life.

Oh To Be In Love.

In search of Peter Pan

Hammer horror, Babooshka, the sensual world, all of the ninth wave. Love it all.

@RhannionKPSS I saw her there too. Unbelievable show, I had tears through the entire show.

Kashka from Baghdad is good.
James and the Cold Gun
Moving

As others have said, all of 'Kick Inside '. Think she writes brilliantly about love. She's a genius.

Went to see Cloudbusting after it was postponed by COVID. Almost as good as the real thing.

They're all unique and it's hard to choose just one. She is a one of a kind artist. I have a soft spot for Babushka and Running up that hill as those are the first couple of hers I heard as a 6 year old.

Some pps have already mentioned Don't give up with Peter Gabriel which I also like. Games without Frontiers wouldn't be the same without her whispering "Jeux sans frontiers".

thank you @pointythings
Don't think it was 10cc though?
I will stop cluttering the thread with mentions of less-impressive (albeit ridiculously catchy ) songs

In 'Moving'' voice, lyrics, and melody all seem to swim together perfectly - and it's a universal theme of love everyone can relate to.

This woman's work
Running up that hill
Wuthering heights

Love so many but

1. This Woman's Work (one of the greatest songs every written, IMHO)

2. Oh England My Lionheart.

3. The Man With the Child In His Eyes

Put the down and go to bed.

I love running up that hill (80’s baby here) I knew as soon as I watched stranger things that it would go in the chart. I called it straight away.

Oh and Hell yes, Under the Ivy (thanks @RhannionKPSS)

How could anyone choose one?!

This woman's work - love.

Love running up that hill but has anyone heard the placebo cover? Even better IMO

'Why should I love you"? With Prince and believe it or not,Lenny Henry on backing vocals.

Blasphemy!

Them Heavy People.
