I know. I just seriously was soooooo disappointed. I got it as a Christmas present!!Sad

Hownoobrooncoo · 25/05/2012 23:59

I didn't even know she had done recent stuff! I love her, so YANBU. My ex was besotted with her and introduced me to a lot of her music. In particular I love Army Dreamers and this Woman's Work (sob!)

EdlessAllenPoe · 26/05/2012 00:05

YANBU *1000

love it.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 26/05/2012 00:08

I really love this song but Kate? :o

Actually, I was just about to post this and then I started watching the video and listening to the words. Haven't heard it in a good few years and now, as a grown up it makes a bit more sense. Or at least, I've now got my own interpretation of it.

Pearla · 26/05/2012 00:11

YANBU. I love her.

TheNorthWitch · 26/05/2012 00:34

YANBU - I would love it if she toured again - the greatest singer songwriter ever! I think Aerial and 50 words are more introspective and you need to be in a certain mood or place to get into them. I love Lake Tahoe and Snowflake. I do think she repeats herself a bit which is probably inevitable though she does not do this as much as some others.

I also didn't like The Dreaming at first but its now one of my favourites. Some things are not as immediate as Wuthering Heights/Babooshka.

Noqontrol · 26/05/2012 00:43

Oh Gwendoline, I absolutely adore that video. I haven't seen it before but I love it.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 26/05/2012 01:03

Sat in your Lap
Army Dreamers
The Kick Inside

my favourites Grin

Dropdeadfred · 26/05/2012 09:08

It was the however many words for snow one - it was such a huge disappointment because I assumed it would be at least similar to her past stuff - most of it was silence or weird noises

KenNEddieKennedy · 26/05/2012 09:10

Adore her and always have done!

KenNEddieKennedy · 26/05/2012 09:13

Rocket's Tale makes me cry

Love: Sat in your lap
Love & Anger
Moments of Pleasure (tho also makes me cry)
James & the cold gun
Get out of my house.

Oh so many more!

quirrelquarrel · 26/05/2012 10:26

Yes YES I love her!! Grin

Oo she is brilliant. I think if I had known her as a kid I would have been catatonic. Now I can cope with her brilliance. Blush

IslaValargeone · 26/05/2012 10:30

Rocket's Tail is my favourite.
I have been a fan for years, but 50 words for snow and Ariel..absolute shite.

Rilson · 26/05/2012 10:33

YANBU.

She is awesome!

quirrelquarrel · 26/05/2012 10:37

Ariel Shock shite, why? One of my favourites, specially Joanni.

quirrelquarrel · 16/01/2013 18:50

I have refound this thread Grin

didn't she say in the 50WFS flurry of interviews that she might be working on a new album?
Imagine a new Bowie and Kate album in the same year!

Bunbaker · 16/01/2013 18:56

"Astonishing she wrote Wuthering Heights when she was just 13 years old"

Wow! I'm impressed (I had to say Wow Grin)

"I was named after Kate Bush because my parents loved her music so much."

Oh go away. You make me feel old.

Love Army Dreamers.

Abitwobblynow · 16/01/2013 19:11

I luff her. 'make a deal with God, and get him to swap places'. She let me know I wasn't the only one who felt anxious.

winemakesmeclever · 16/01/2013 19:14

December will be magic again is one of my favourite christmas songs. It makes me think of sparkly frosty weather... lovely..

quirrelquarrel · 16/01/2013 19:43

Am blasting Hounds of Love in halls- we come here to be educated Wink

Whenever I ask people in their 50s/60s whether they like her they say "oh, screechy voice" (?? no!) or "yeah love her!" and then it turns out they only know WH.
If I ever have a kiddy she'll be having Kate Bush in the womb and all thru the day.
I have a Kate tat too. It's quite small but I love it!
