Blind Reaction! Kate Bush - "Wuthering Heights" MV

[@virtualal]

Kate Bush wrote this as an 18 year old a few hours after watching the TV adaptation of the book. 18 years old and she bangs out this beautiful haunting melody. The woman is a legend.

[@garybreeze1000]

I was under the impression she was 16 when she wrote this but the record company held her back thinking she was too young.

[@virtualal]

@ you may be right !

[@ianlewis6920]

@@garybreeze1000 Kate was signed by the record company at 16 and gave her a few years to develop her craft. She was 18 when she wrote this and then had a fight to get it released as her first single..

[@WarrenBridges-um5cg]

@@garybreeze1000 The track that scored her contract back then was "Man With The Child In His Eyes". Written at 13 and recorded as part of a 3 track demo financed by David Gilmour at age 16. This song was written in March '77. Just before her 19th birthday. Last track written before the August '77 recording.

Kate bush is an English national treasure

[@markfletton5901]

It's hard to overestimate the impact of this song when it came out in early 1978. It was groundbreaking on multiple levels. It's also hard to believe that she was only 18 when she wrote it. Many thanks for sharing it.

I was only 8 then but still knew that this was quite different to what else was getting played on the radio 😀

@@mightyV444 Agree. I was still young, too, but I'd never heard anything like it.

[@mightyV444]

@markfletton5901 - Not even my big bro, then 20, had heard anything like it before! 😅 It was when he'd just bought the album and played it to the rest of our family that I'd heard Kate for the first time 😀

[@FredtheFrisian]

The whole album is outstanding;it's hard to imagine such a young person made this. I immediately bought the record back then. She started writing when she was 11! Thanks to David Gilmour from Pink Floyd, who helped her with the production. She does use her voice more in this way; some people do have a problem with that. I can recommend most of the first album. Also she made more hitsongs after that. One of my favourites is "This woman's work". All the best from the Netherlans!

Interesting that Kate Bush and Emily Brontë (author of "Wuthering Heights") share the same birthday (July 30). Kate is singing in a higher register to better emulate the "ghost" of Catherine. With this song, Kate would become the first female artist to achieve a number-one single with an entirely self-written song. Nice reaction ... we are all a bit mesmerized by Kate when she performs.

Thanks for your reaction. Katie's inspiration was actually from an old TV movie of the book. She went on to read the book and do a lot of research before writing this song. Kate actually has the same birthday as the author Emily Bronte. If you liked this I highly recommend you listen to a lot more Kate Bush. It will change your life.

Its a good idea to have her unique lyrics to hand when listening to Kate , she's so special.

[@olaspaz3079]

Wuthering Heights has been one of British people's favourite novels for a very long time. Kate Bush captured its essence in this song in a way that few artists could emulate. You can't appreciate how groundbreaking she was, Britain in the 1970s was a different world. Separately, the novel has unfortunately become caught up in the culture wars through its most recent adaptations.

Don't worry. We are all mesmerised by Kate Bush. You should do more of her work. Her album Hounds of Love, in particular showcases her as a producer and it's astounding (particularly the second half of it, which is a mini concept album in itself and is a life-changing experience)

Yes, she's a ghost. She's dead and she wants to get the love of her life's attention. She's not only haunting, she's haunted. She's like Bruce Willis in The Sixth Sense, she doesn't understand why all her efforts to gain attention are falling on deaf ears.

"Wow" is another great song of hers. "Babooshka", "The Man with the Child in his Eyes", "Army Dreamers", "The Kick Inside" and so many more.But these and your other reactions on Kate are my favorites

[@leslieturner8276]

Thank you for a great reaction to what is an iconic song. It was so different to anything else in singles charts, in a number of ways, the overall structure of the song is very unusual. Other unusual aspects are timing changes and ley changes which shouldn't work, but do. Kate was never exposed to any formal music theories, so she wrote a song that sounded good to her. She is an instinctive songwriter. She has been compared to David Bowie in that respect. I was a Kate Bush fan from the very start when I heard the song and watched the music video, that was it. It also helped the came from the same part of London. Her vocals in the early part of her career are quite high pitcbed, so I recommend that you consider looking at her next three UK single releases after the record-breaking "Wuthering Heights," which are: 📍The Man With The Child In His Eyes - also from her debut album "The Kick Inside," (1978) which sold a million copies 📍Wow and "Hammer Horror," both from her 2nd album (also released in 1978), "Lionheart" Due to the surge of interest in Kate as a result of Stranger Things, I was ending up posting similar informational comments about a couple of subjects, once being more details about "Wuthering Heights", which I will now add to this comment. ========== A while before Wuthering Heights was written, a younger Kate managed to catch the tail end of a BBC adaptation of the Emily Bronte novel Wuthering Heights when the ghostly Cathy was outside a window of Heathcliff's house wanting to be let in. Kate shares the same Birthday as Emily Bronte and when she was young she was referred to as cathy. In order to get a feel for Cathy Kate read part of the book, interestingly when she did get round to reading all of it after finishing writing the song, Kate noticed certain phrases from parts that she hadn't initially read had ended up in the Lyrics anyway. Kate said that when she sung this song, she was Cathy, she was channelling the character. Kate's vocal performance is a single take with no edits. Kate had to fight her record company to get Wuthering Heights to be her debut single, EMI had chosen a completely different track from her "The Kick Inside" album, in the end EMI released Wuthering Heights because they thought that it would fail and teach Kate a lesson, instead it became a worldwide smash hit. Hitting number 1 in Australia, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Portugal, and the UK. It was at least a top 10 (or better) in nine other countries. A single chart performance that would only be surpassed in 2022 by "Running Up That Hill".

[@davidgrubbs4480]

Thank you for taking this request. It's the second step in your journey down the Kate Bush rabbit hole. 🙂Just imagine what a revolution it was when this song came out in 1978. No one had ever heard a song that sounded like this! The vocals are so unusual. Bush wrote it in a single evening at the age of 18. Wuthering Heights spent 14 weeks in the UK singles chart and spent 4 weeks at No. 1 in March 1978. This made Bush the first female artist to achieve a number-one single with an entirely self-written song. She was inspired after seeing the 1967 BBC adaptation of the 1847 novel Wuthering Heights. She actually shares her birthday with its author, Emily Brontë. I think you figured it out from the video (so it's not a spoiler), but "Wuthering Heights" is sung from the perspective of Catherine Earnshaw, a ghost pleading at Heathcliff's window to be allowed in. There is a different video that's worth checking out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJyQZZ-OgbJmaskfeature=shared Kate Bush's early music does have a lot of vocals like this, so there are lots of other songs to discover. "The Man with The Child in His Eyes" is another example. The interpretative dance is integral to Kate's music, she learned from the same person that taught David Bowie. Kate got inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year. She has inspired countless musicians especially female ones like Sarah McLachlan and Tori Amos.

[@BenjaminKanarek]

One of the greatest artists of the last century! That is her iconic vocal style. I am a huge Kate Bush fan.

[@Beejay950]

As a child. Kate was known as Cathy (Catherine) and shares a birthday with Emily Bronte, the author of Wuthering Heights, 30th July

[@raycornford283]

Singer, songwriter, pianist, dancer, choreographer, director, producer - Kate did it all! Her debut album, containing tracks all written when she was 19 or less, was amazing in the maturity of the topics covered and the writing e.g. suicide, incest, menstruation, lust. Above all, Kate is a story-teller.

[@paulgunderson4721]

Wonderful reaction! Thank you. Kate's first hit, I believe. Two quick notes: 1. There is another official version of this song - with Kate outdoors in a red dress. That's the one used by large groups of people who sometimes get together to dance to this song. There are many videos online showing these gatherings - which look quite fun! 2. There are *many* film adaptations of Wuthering Heights. I don't know if the 1939 version was the first but Lawrence Olivier & Merle Oberon starred in it. There was probably a silent version done earlier.

[@scifimonkey3]

Kate used the advance from her first record contract to pay for contemporary dance and mime lessons from legendary choreographer Lindsay Kemp who also taught David Bowie and Peter Gabriel

[@netzahuacoyotl]

There are several film adaptations of Wuthering Heights, but most leave out much the last part of the book. There’s a good TV miniseries from maybe 1977 that is closest to the book. But there’s nothing like reading the book. It’s a very dark and atmospheric slow motion train wreck that covers two generations.

[@ChristopherDunkle]

It is okay to be mesmerized by her. Her dance so perfectly complements the song. There are two official music video versions. The second one has her in a red dress performing the song outside in a field with some trees in the back ground. There is also a version from a show called TopPop where she performs the song on a kind of fairytale looking stage. Some parts of this video have her singing in closeup, while you can also see her dancing in the background. Then there is the Gothic version. This was filmed at Eftling, an amusement park in the Netherlands, in the haunted house attraction there. It starts with her climbing out of a coffin.

[@mudshark5393]

Yea, the other video, the one with the red dress out on the moors, is the inspiration to "The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever". It's a gathering that takes place all around the world since 2016, usually toward the end of July (altho it originates from 2013). Women, children (and sometimes men in wigs) dress up in red dresses and dance to the song, while moving like Kate in the video.

[@mudshark5393]

At places there are just a few (2-3) persons dancing, while in others there can be up to a 1000 (est. at Folkestone 2023)

[@glyngasson8450]

Kate is around 18/19 in this video, she was discovered at the age of 14, her first album was recorded when she was 16/17. One of the songs on the album "the man with the child in his eyes" was written by Kate when she was 12 years old

[@WarrenBridges-um5cg]

[@michaelwebster8389]

Still one of my favourite songs after all these years. She's kind of playing a ghost as the character in this song, from the book Wuthering Heights. So, the kind of misty white unclear imagery fits with that. The other clip has her disappearing further and further away from the camera as the music ends, and definitely has that feeling of a ghost longing to get back. The book is incredible, but extremely grim.

Never forgot when I saw Kate Bush performing this song live in German TV show 1978 - she was unknown, in her first TV appearance. The audience in the studio was stunned, and this mysterious song touched me also. This was something compelety different! The host took shy Kate in his arms, gave her a rose and told her not to forget this show because she would be a big star soon. Well, he was very right about that!

[@Jeheil]

Kate was one of the UK's most ground breaking artists...a child prodigy...I think this was done when she was 17...written when she was 14...based on the Wuthering Heights novel.....strong recommendation : This womans work, running up that hill, cloud busting, the man with the child in eyes, lionheart. She is up there with Bowie and Mercury for genius...and all at the same time...on the same tiny isle !!

[@levvellene570]

Back in '87/'88 I was doing my stint (12 months) with being conscripted to the national army, luckily as a medic, so it was kind of lush... I had bought Kate Bush's VHS of all her early videos sometime before that, but never really had the time to sit down and watch it all. Military life altered that... I both loved it, and could understand (and laugh wholeheartedly!) at how Madness parodied her videos with their own music videos! But if Kate Bush is new to any of you, try to go back and watch all of her music videos for her early songs! I think she cared more for her music than for her video performances, but I could (should) probably be wrong! Those were sort of short movies, not like anything 'pop' artists release these days...

[@erikahlander3489]

When a skilful female singer appears today, often Kate Bush is to compared with! Many excellent songs to chose from. Female stars were still quite rare. Other great female singers from this era is the "queen of disco", Donna Summer. Her greatest hit was also sort of first electronic disco song, "I feel love". As mature, her cover of "MacArthur Park" (Belgium 2005) is great! Another great voice is the German "Good mother of punk" Nina Hagen (who actually has made many different genres her very personal way) - but check "Naturträne" (or African reggae). Finally a female jazz singer, quite underrated, is Annette Peacock. A video with famous drummer Bill Bruford "Back to the beginning" (1979) - or the audio "Love's out to lunch".

Kate called her house "Wuthering heights " after the success of this. I live just down the road from it in Mottingham, South East London, and I saw her many times.

From this era, “The Man With the Child In His Eyes” is amazing. “Hounds of Love” the album (source of “Cloudbusting”) is overall great. The second half (“The Ninth Wave”) is a connected suite, so listen to the suite together if you decide to check it out. For 90s Kate, “The Sensual World” is a good one. As far as creativity in a pop/rock context, she’s hard to beat IMHO.

[@shaunjp2211]

The inspiration is a book by Emily Brontë. It's a tragic love story that really does tug at the heart strings. However Kate Bush's song is about after Cathy died and her ghost haunts Heathcliff at the end before he dies and they join each other on the moors. Yes there are books, films and TV series it really is a very famous story.

You were on target with the ghostly dress. The vocal she is doing is intentionally ghostly. She is "in character" essentially. Many Wuthering Heights movies old there old and new. Kate wrote this song first after watching a older movie playing on the BBC. It wasn't until later that she went and read the book by Emily Bronte. Both Bronte and Kate share the same same burthday and Kate was called Kathy when she was a young girl.
