Ariel Pink - For Kate I Wait

[@joshb8976]

I heard this in 2008 and I would make everyone I know listen to it. I fucking still love Ariel probably now more than ever. Best pop musician of the past 20 years hands down. Him and Sean Nicholas Savage are god tier pop musicians.

[@tylergates4075]

Since I agree with you about Ariel, now I gotta check out Sean

[@gabrielkunu9511]

I been listening to this song for each day now for 15 years. I have ocd and became a song that I play everyday since 9th grade.

[@reidbennington8063]

how are you... even now.

[@gabrielkunu9511]

@@reidbennington8063 I’m ok, I’m a dad now and still make music and life has it ups and downs but overall content. Hope you are well over there✌️🤍🤼‍♂️

He's one of the greatest musicians (poet) of our era.

[@cobraclarke203]

Back in the day, was first song i heard from Pink and I was hooked. Kinda hard to find other artists/bands that bring this kinda vibe.

[@gzuskreist1021]

listen to Brian Wilson unreleased bootleg albums

[@hope_canyon]

Cindy Lee springs to mind

[@revalid6824]

I dont know why ariel has so many uplifting songs but the lyrics are 80% of the time so deep that i fall into depression.

[@crieverytim]

this makes me nostalgic for things that never happened

[@christopherwalker6056]

That's exactly the feeling this and a few other of his songs give me. Like that song Let's make a campfire there, when I first heard it I swore I'd heard it before. It felt so familiar like a feeling of deja vu.

[@oglifeline1005]

Hauntology

[@richardmcmasky5638]

@@christopherwalker6056 It's because Ariel's music tends to be very derivative of typically obscure music, and recording practices, from the past. Like, Bright Lit Blue Skies sounds like it came out in 1967, but was only big in Amsterdam or something, and Fright Night sounds like 1982 or so to me, with an obvious 80's horror movie title as it's title.

[@crieverytim]

wow this comment was just cited in the Junkee article disowning Ariel for supporting trump. sad!

[@elchuzo5888]

Me too that things never happened just in our minds and memories good memories so present life its all we have for our good life way cheers and good feelings

this was the best era of ariel pink, i don't dislike his new stuff but this is the shit

[@joshb8976]

Idk. Dedicated to Bobby Jameson is in my top three along with The Doldrums and Worn Copy

[@elcat9091]

I read somewhere that he (Ariel) thought that this was a real breakthrough song for the band, in terms of everything coming together artistically. You can kind of hear it, I think.

[@joshb8976]

@@elcat9091 the doldrums is genius though. This is the first album he made where he found his niche. The album before was getting to this sound so yeah you’re right

[@nuklearinfekted3388]

I agree. I really like his albums on 4AD, but all his albums recorded at home on his Yamaha 8tx cassette are just incredible.

[@Jimmy-jm1ol]

Dude totally nails the "Bushlike" whispers at the 1:00 bridge mark.

[@ralphorama]

i love ariel so much... especially when he's on a lo-fi type beat like this one ♥♥♥

[@DUMBOYCASTLE]

“Type beat”

[@prod6mill.512]

this isn't a lofi type beat this is an extremely complex, arrangement.

[@joshb8976]

You mean when he makes his music? He plays the instruments and uses his mouth for the drums and then sings? Like how people write music

[@ralphorama]

@@joshb8976 well he wrote a great lofi type beat for this song which I really like

[@joshb8976]

Wait, wait, I wait for Kate (No, she's never coming back to you) I wait, I wait for Kate so late (No, she's never gonna miss you) Demonstrate, my Kate, we mate (I cannot place her) I bet on straight, await the take (No, she's never gonna reach the shore)(x2) Wait and wait, I wait for Kate (No, she's never coming back again) I wait and wait, but Kate's so late (No, come on home) PDA, the date today I nearly made bones to fade (No, she's got me on my knees again) (x2) Wait, wait, I wait for Kate No! I wait and wait, but Kate's so late (No, she's never gonna sense you) (Ah, she's never gonna cherish you) Gathered at sundown She left out of her town (Oh, she's never coming back again)

[@lalakuma9]

Kate Bush did come back in 2014 with 22 sold-out shows in London. So this song kind of had a happy ending.
