Singer, songwriter, musician, dancer, choreographer, director, producer - Kate did it all!

[@playitagainsue]

Hi Ray, I agree 100%. Kate is absolutely amazing...no one like her 🤩

[@Ozymandi_as]

I love the song, and its video, The Sensual World, from the 1989 album of the same name. Inspired by James Joyce's modernist masterpiece, Ulysses, it incorporates a Macedonian folk tune played on Celtic instruments. Kate herself has rarely looked more beautiful, and it features one of the sexiest removals of a hat ever filmed.

[@playitagainsue]

Hi Ozymandias, thank you so much for your comment and for tuning in. You are so correct. Kate is amazing and does look stunning in this video. I will play more Kate Bush 🤩

[@believer773]

Lifelong Kate mega fan here, seeing new generations discover Kate is amazing, great work

[@playitagainsue]

Hi Singularity Gazing, thanks so much for tuning in and commenting. I really appreciate it. I will definitely be doing more Kate 🤩

[@malvanlondon8683]

I think Kate Bush wanted her shows to be amazing - and it is very demanding and draining to put a concert together. Also, for Kate, composing and recording songs was her main focus. Also, I suspect, these days she's very happy mooching about at home. I would like to see your reactions to Babooshka, Army Dreamers, Hammer Horror, Cloudbusting and Experiment IV (all of which have accompanying videos). Thank you.

[@playitagainsue]

Hi Mal, all excellent points! Yes, I guess her shows would be more like a production that just singing. I will definitely react to more Kate. I would love to do the songs you have mentioned. Thanks so much for tuning in. I really appreciate it :)

[@leslieturner8276]

Hello just a heads up, Kate has been nominated (for the 4th time) for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2023 #RockHall2023 and the fan vote is now open

[@playitagainsue]

Oh Cool!! Ok I will check it out and vote. Kate deserves to be in the hall of fame for sure. Thanks so much, Leslie :)

[@kimberlyrobinson7837]

I smiled just to see Andrew with you. One of Michelle’s favourites!

[@playitagainsue]

He is a cutie! I remember that Michelle loves Kate....she has good taste 🥰🤩

[@stever7732]

Yes, more Kate Bush please. You can’t go wrong with any of her singles/music videos but my recommendations would be ‘Cloudbusting’, ‘Babooshka’ and ‘This Woman’s Work’.

[@playitagainsue]

You betcha, Steve. More Kate it is...all great choices you gave 🤩

[@wayne_twentyfive]

So glad you finally hit the amazing Kate Bush ! .. She is in the very top handful of my all time favourite artists, and I have all of her albums ..Her debut album "The Kick Inside" is right up there with my very favourite albums ever, and I look forward to you reacting to some of the many wonderful tracks on it .. Of course the iconic "Wuthering Heights" is a must .. Good to know you're a big Kate fan too !

[@playitagainsue]

Hi Wayne, I have said it before, we are musical kindred spirits. Kate Bush is so wonderful and the Kick Inside is one of my favourite albums too. You can guarantee there will be more Kate in the future 🤩🥰

[@wayne_twentyfive]

@Play It Again, Sue! Yes Sue, we certainly seem to align very closely with our musical tastes and favourites .. This clearly proves that great minds do indeed think alike ! 😉

[@monkeymonkey9128]

She did tour in 2014 I think. I tried to purchase the ticket but no chance, it was sold within minutes. Every album is completely different so it's worth to explore her more. She had a fantastic album in 1989 called The Sensual World and the songs worth listen to are The Sensual World, Deeper Understanding, The Rocket's Tail...

[@playitagainsue]

Hey Monkey, thanks for that. Kate is amazing and I would love to see her in concert 😀💜

[@Vince_Steele]

Kate Bush was very popular in Australia. Wuthering Heights was always a favourite, and Babooshka.

[@playitagainsue]

Hi Vince, 2 great songs! Thanks for the reminder. Do you like the original Wuthering Heights or the redo she did later that she sang a little lower 🥰

[@Vince_Steele]

@@playitagainsue I don't believe I even knew about the lower version. I'll have to look it up before I can form an opinion on that.... Stand by.

[@Vince_Steele]

Not a great deal of difference, but I prefer the original, because that's how my brain cavity knows it.

[@playitagainsue]

@@Vince_Steele hey Vince, I think it is mostly the beginning that is different. When she starts off the song, the original is a bit higher but yes similar 🤩

[@Vince_Steele]

After Kate's first tour of the UK and Europe in 1979 she decided it was too exhausting to tour again. Probably because she insisted on dancing in her own choreographed way for every song, and she was making multiple TV appearances including a one off performance on Saturday Night Live in the US. Her lighting engineer was also killed during the tour, so that may have helped to put her off the thoughts of doing any future tours as well. She did do a 22 night show in London in 2014, which was very theatrical and involved other dancers, puppets, shadows, and mask work. These shows were all performed at the same London venue and it was never taken anywhere else. The tickets for all 22 shows were completely sold out within 15 minutes.

[@playitagainsue]

Wow, thanks Vince! All of that makes sense. Oh I would have loved to have seen one of the London shows. I bet they were sold out in 15 minutes. It just shows how popular she is. Thanks Vince 🤩🥰

[@MikeWadeUK21]

@@playitagainsue Sold out in 6 minutes I think!

[@playitagainsue]

@@MikeWadeUK21 WOW!!😎

[@tommydevlin702]

really cool song from a truly great album. her music is incredibly diverse and incorporates ghosts, monsters, witches, murder, revenge, the weird, creepy, unsettling and extraordinarily tender. The rest of this album is well worth listening to. It has been incredibly influential and even all of these years later it is still very fresh. Kate really defies classification as an artist. Of this particular song she said some years afterwards (1992) that its meaning was: "I was trying to say that, really, a man and a woman, can't understand each other because we are a man and a woman. And if we could actually swap each others roles, if we could actually be in each others place for a while, I think we'd both be very surprised! And I think it would be lead to a greater understanding. And really the only way I could think it could be done was either... you know, I thought a deal with the devil, you know. And I thought, "well, no, why not a deal with God!" And she herself acknowledged in her comments that this is a deal that can really never be made, because as she herself said, the only way it could be done was if either God or the devil were to grant it. This idea of an unachievable goal - of truly and fully understanding each other and how we feel about things - was the very heart of this song from the beginning. Speaking at the time of it release Kate said: "It's really saying if there's a possibility of being able to swap places with each other that they'd understand how the other one felt, that when they were saying things that weren't meant to hurt, that they weren't meant sincerely, that they were just misunderstood. In some ways, I suppose the basic difference between men and women, where if we could swap places in a relationship, we'd understand each other better" But then she added the telling comment: "but this, of course, is all theoretical anyway." In the end it is a deal that can never be struck and Kate knows it.

[@playitagainsue]

Hi Tommy, thanks for the very thoughtful and informative comment. I really appreciate it. You are clearly a big Kate Bush fan. She is amazing. I love her. I will definitely be doing more Kate on the channel. 🤩

[@stever7732]

If you do ‘Wuthering Heights’ be sure to do the white dress version 1 video, not the red dress version 2 video. The latter was shot for the American release of the single and, while more colourful, does not support the ghost narrative of the song as well.

[@playitagainsue]

Excellent, thanks Steve....great pro tip! I will definitely get the white dress version. Thanks for that 🤩

[@williamwilkes9873]

Always brilliant.......a friend.........discovered by Dave of pink Floyd..................totally beautiful..........hi, K.........

Hi William, I love Kate's music. She is such an original and has an amazing voice 🤩

I haven’t heard this one before . Nice reaction 👵🏼❤️☮️

[@playitagainsue]

Hi Sharon, glad you enjoyed this one. Kate Bush is an incredible singer and dancer 🤩

[@thomasovens478]

Did you guys ever react to Kate's cover of "Rocket Man"?

[@playitagainsue]

Not yet but it is coming soon...just working through our list but you will definitely see it coming your way probably within the month 🤩💜

[@leslieturner8276]

I have plenty of suggestions for other Kate Bush songs that you can listen, on this selection I will include ones from the early part (ish) of her career: 📍Wuthering Heights- her debut single and worldwide smash hit until it was surpassed by Running Up That Hill in 2022 in terms of absolute chart performances around the world 📍The Man With The Child In His Eyes - written when she was quite young 📍Wow 📍Hammer Horror 📍Babooshka 📍Army Dreamers 📍Breathing 📍Sat in your Lap 📍The Dreaming 📍Cloudbusting 📍Hounds Of Love 📍The Big Sky 📍Experiment IV

[@playitagainsue]

All great songs, Leslie. We will definitely do more of her stuff. Thank you 🥰

[@terryneedham8053]

I don't know what is going on in your head kid, but this is one helluva woman. The gods don't make many like her.

[@playitagainsue]

Hi Terry, yes Kate is amazing and is one of a kind 🤩

[@leslieturner8276]

Kate was upset how dance was being used in other music videos, so she wanted to create a video which includes some serious dancing. She also wanted this video to represent her farewell to videos that featured dancing.

[@playitagainsue]

Hi Leslie, thank you for tuning in and commenting. I appreciate it. I love Kate's integrity and she is so on the money. There were so many silly videos coming out, it was nice to see something more beautiful and serious in nature 🤩

[@thomasovens478]

Check out Kate's cover of Elton John's Rocket Man." It has a superb music video.

[@playitagainsue]

Oooh thanks, Thomas. I didn't know Kate did a cover of that. I would love to see that 🤩

[@thomasovens478]

[@thomasovens478]

As Kate said in 1991 - From the age of 11, Elton John was my biggest hero. I loved his music, had all his albums and I hoped one day I'd play the piano like him (I still do). When I asked to be involved in this project and was given the choice of a track it was like being asked 'would you like to fulfill a dream? would you like to be Rocket Man?' ... yes, I would. Kate Bush[33] Interesting facts - Elton John invited Kate to his wedding and there were around 600 guests, most of them famous. The whole evening the only person everyone wanted to meet was Kate Bush - that's how fondly she is admired. Elton sings a duet with Kate on her 2021 album."50 Words for Snow." I saw Kate live, her first live performance in 35 years in 2014. She was incredible.

[@playitagainsue]

@@thomasovens478 cool thanks, Thomas. I will watch it during a first time reaction 🤩

[@playitagainsue]

@@thomasovens478 how lucky you are to have seen her. I would love to see her live. It sounds very special to Kate that she got to song Rocket Man. I bet she was the belle of Elton's wedding. I would have wantednto speak to her for sure. I haven't heard their duet either. I will do that as a first time reaction as well. Thank you so much, Thomas 🥰
