Indeed, which makes me think Beth should consider judging a video of ‘Pastorale’ by List & Shaffy: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3vWo6Svm6uCic0 The best duet ever. The language is Dutch, but I think the role playing does half of the translation. He’s the sun. She’s the earth. Come on, Beth, you can do it. You’ve reacted to weird old Dutch songs before. Liesbeth List ceased to be a few days ago. Ramses Shaffy died about 9 years ago. They are legends.j

Yes, as the others have already pointed out, Kate is very skillfully singing out of key for macabre effect. Thanks to Steve, Annette and Keefie for noticing too. Keefie, I cut Beth a little slack just because she is younger, and today's youth really have no real concept of life BEFORE the computerized era. It's kind of like an abstract concept to them. It's kind of sad how we're losing our sense of talent and genius in ALL the arts. Are there ANY new songs that don't have computerized auto-correction of pitch in vocals anymore? I don't know because I can't listen to "modern" music anymore. Our children have lost the capacity to appreciate that someone like David Gilmour can sing a song like "Young Lust", then turn around and sing like "The Show Must Go On", then sing like in "You Know I'm Right." On top of that, he and his bandmates are the actual writers of most all of their songs too! On top of that, David plays guitar quite skillfully and has a signature sound. One his guitar solos is regularly voted as "one of the best ever", sometimes "THE BEST" in rock history. ("Comfortably Numb" -Pulse live version). On top of that, he is very skilled with many other instruments, including steel guitar and saxophone. Of course he also backed Kate Bush for a live performance of "Running Up That Hill." I fear the day may come when our youth CAN'T make music anymore. BTW, here kzbin.info/www/bejne/f53cZGmGha-giMU is Pat Benatar singing Wuthering Heights as intended. Peace.

New Falconer Records Someone on the .gaffa Usenet forum alleged that she’s naturally a mezzo. I think she’s more of a soprano - after all, she can belt up to soprano C and can connect into whistle range - but more of a dramatic one, who feigns a lyric sound. She does tend to have a pulled sound in the upper notes, that sounds almost like her voice has been warped in speed.

Musical Neptunian Ooh! Those notes aren’t that high for a soprano (G#3 - F#5). I mean, footage from her first show has loads of passages exploring the fifth octave... heck, “Violin” goes up to F6! And she belts up to C#6 in a performance of “The Wedding List”. But she might have just trained herself into being a soprano for the time and then settled into mezzo by later on in her career. Her melodies became lower and her voice richer and more chest-dominant as time went on.

Kate Bush is what u call an artist who is outside the box. She is not like anyone else nor does anyone else copy her. One of those 1 in a million artist out of nowhere. For her to hit big in late 1970s with punk, disco, corporate rock and other crap incredible. She ranks up with influential artists at same time like Elvis Costello

True, Kate Bush "..is not for everyone", she is for the people that really know, understand and appreciate what music is..and that often means musicians with a divisive artist like our Kate. I know of very few people, that are not heavily invested in music production, that see Kate Bush as anything other than a bit weird. Whereas, if you understand music, you still may not like her style but it is far more likely that you will. She is one of the few things in this land that makes me proud to be British...cos Lord knows, it ain't the royals!!

Thank you for reacting to this. Two other wonderful songs of hers are "The Man with the Child in His Eyes" (from the same album) and "This Woman's Work," from her album, "The Sensual World."

That's perfect Cathy. Demanding, pouting, desperate, warm, yearning...Kate collected so many moods of that character in that song it's incredible.

Everytime I listen to kate, or this song espesially I fall in love. Its basically mdma in song form. Its a freecvensy song, more then melody. It hits cells, breath, embraces you then treats you like a three in the wind. Its like a windy day kisses you on the temple.

Her producer, engineers and musicians say that in the studio, she focuses a lot on the technical aspects of her voice and experiments a lot, using it as a real instrument. Even when she recorded this track in 1977 at the age of 20-21, she was trying to find ways to express a wider range of emotions and changed her approach from song to song. She went even further when she started producing on her own with The Dreaming: she used the lower range of her voice and distorted it to create surreal effects. This part of her career was full of exciting and innovative ideas, it was an explosion of sounds that had never been heard before. From Hounds of Love, she channeled her energy and creativity into more mature ways of expression. Such an interesting career.

She is playing piano and singing with stunning Musical variegation and acting for a camera all at the same time without losing pitch and without making very many mistakes at all in her playing. Kate Bush has always been one of my favorite underestimated performers.

Pat Benatar covered this song and did very well, I thought. I actually heard the Benatar rendition first. When I encountered Kate's original a bit later, my first thought was that someone at the radio station had accidentally switched a turntable to 45 RPM to play an album cut!

Kate can't hit those notes anymore. She sings in a completely register now. Remember she wrote this when she was a teenager. I love Kate and her music. She makes musical art. Truly a one off. Masterful

Thank you. I used to talk to Del Palmer and I realized he never got over losing her in their intimate relationship and never moved on to this day. His bass and sound engineering was critical to her success but she puts her creativity before anything that is for her success. She comes first, second and third. Never last.

I would recommend Sat in Your Lap and Army Dreamers because KB experiments with using different ranges within the same song. Also, I would check out La India because she usually sings in several octaves!

Her intent was to sound like a ghost, which Cathy was at that point in the story. Also, this was the first female to have a #1 on the UK charts as singer who also wrote the song.

I was a total Kate Bush nerd in the 80s. I'm in the United States so I didn't know any other Kate Bush fans. I played Wuthering Heights once for a girlfriend and she said that was a Pat Benatar song. I thought she was crazy, but she pulled out a Pat Benatar album and sure enough Pat had done a cover of Wuthering Heights. I had no idea. But I had a lot more respect for Pat Benatar after hearing that!
