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😃

So hard to choose. She is wonderful!

Hello Earth
Jig of Life
Rocket's Tail

The kick inside

Love the Alan partridge tribute to Kate Bush , especially the "rolling the ball"

Hammer Horror and Rubber-band Girl, plus Wuthering Heights... Everything else she's ever recorded...

Great news that she's no 1 again - I wondered why everyone was suddenly talking about Running! 😄

Cloudbusting
It was used at the end of Palm Springs and my heart exploded hearing it again.
I also love Be Kind to my mistakes (Castaway ost)
This woman's work is beautiful as is Moments of pleasure. When she speaks to those she lost, I always cry.

Admire her enormously. Sad we will never see footage from her last live performances as they were filmed I believe but she was unhappy with it (admirable as she would have cleared up £££ but has always put product over profit).

The kick inside album is one of the most amazing works of art ever.
She is a genius

I am curious as to how the orchestral arrangement on top came about - was it the director Levy himself then (as the above article implies) the musical director or another technician?
I love the original, listened to the 2012 Olympics version (could not see much difference), like the Placebo cover and have seen the Stranger Things scene and various orchestral versions on youtube.
Can anyone tell me who performed the orchestral user on top of Kate's vocals? I like the drama of it but am surprised she agreed, given how usually she has control over all of her music and use. I assume she must have consented but wondered who did the final mix?
Anyone know?

used

Man with the child in his eyes

Followed by cloud busting then hounds of love

This is so lovely! And nostalgic (Swap Shop!)
in line with this thread, Kate tells the viewers what HER favourite Kate Bush song is (right at the end)

It has to be 'Oh To Be In Love"

I once got absolutely slated for daring to post an opposing opinion on a thread in AIBU. Where you are post specifically asking for an opinion.
This thread is asking for KB lovers to name a favourite song.
HATERS BACK OFF!!!

That's a shame because she speaks very highly of you 🙄

This is why I can't listen to Them Heavy People without thinking of Steve Coogan 😂

I had a 5 hour car journey on Friday and mainly listened to Kate. Forgot how much I loved King of the Mountain and Experiment IV. My voice was hoarse by the time I reached my destination.

Never seem that, very funny.

The Dreaming is her album of genius for me. Of the top of my head...

The Night of the Swallow
This Woman's Work
Moments of Pleasure
Oh to be in love
Leave it open

It's hard to chose only a few.

The whole album Hounds of Love is a masterpiece - and with the track Running up that Hill. So glad Kate's genius is being appreciated some more.

I'm loving that my 13yo is happily singing along to KB tunes. She's added loads to my Spotify! My fave is Breathing . There's nobody quite like Kate Bush. Dd loves Army dreamers.

That was cloudbusting
womans work was in the fake hanging scene I think

Never saw that Steve Coogan video before. Absolutely brilliant!!

Kate on Woman’s hour right now!!!
world exclusive!!!!!

Yes - spellbinding.

The saxophone song
James and the cold fun

Don't really know her later works

her later works become works of art (imo). hounds of love, The Dreaming etc. just recorded with her usual attention to detail and no time limit. On the radio? That should be headline news - reclusive artist emerges (briefly). if she is selling her catalogue now is when the price will be at its highest
