RIP, Del Palmer - a great musician and engineer who was integral in shaping the sound of Kate's music

[@silgen]

So to sum up...Kate Bush is a genius.

[@luntik7843]

No doubt

[@Payne2view]

What other person could have "pause for the jet", followed by the sound of a jet, in their song and it be perfectly okay? Yes its a fun and expressive song.

[@moog67]

Viva Kate Bush! ❤

[@tommydevlin702]

Hi Beth and thanks a lot for this from the incomparable Kate Bush. She called this one her getting drunk songs from this album. because she talked about getting drunk in order to do the freestyle ad libs at the end (the other was the wonderful 'Waking the Witch.' Now if you were to do an analysis of 'Hello Earth' from this album you would be giving a gift to the world - for her performance on that song is just spellbinding. Thanks again for this.

[@joannepinnow6929]

Oh my gosh, I LOVE "Hello Earth". Yes I hope Beth covers that one!

[@randomjasmicisrandom]

Absolutely agree! Waking the witch is a stunning track as well, but hello Earth is just spell binding.

[@kentmains7763]

There really aren't words to describe how special she is.

[@StephenVStone]

This is one of top three favorite songs of all time from any artist although Kate Bush has always been my favorite musician since 1985. Thank you doing this track and really breaking it down. I do want to cast a vote for "Get out of my House" - The Dreaming gets very little love but it's a absolutely brilliant album with some of most amazing vocal work.

[@grahamkey8496]

The Hounds of Love album was that rare combination: both an artistic and a commercial triumph. Her masterpiece.

[@davidrauh8118]

Kate almost always did her own background vocals. At least until she used the Trio Bulgarka on her Sensual World album. I like it when she uses 4 or 5 different voices within one song, such as Suspended In Gaffa. Can't go wrong with Kate. By the way, have you reacted to Peter Gabriel and her duet music video for Don't Give Up?

[@mysticmerman]

Yes! This is her best vocal delivery. It's truly fearless, especially toward the end. The other songs on this album get all the attention, but "Big Sky" deserves some of it. I'm joining your channel now! 😂

[@KLStorer]

This is one of my favorite songs off one of my favorite albums by one of my favorite artists. Kate is an actual creative genius! The REAL deal!

[@MikeWadeUK21]

Great memories - you can see me at the front of the “stage” towards the end. The music was pumping while this was being recorded - took you over completely. Kate gave us all “Big Sky” branded lighters (mine still works) to wave at one point. Trouble is they quickly got red hot. Became a test of loyalty how long you could keep your lighter lit for. This was on the second day of recording for the video - won’t ever forget it. Kate over indulged slightly and needed some time out while this was being recorded,

[@stever7732]

I enjoyed your analysis of that one from the incredible Kate Bush. I think Kate is probably quite a challenge for vocal coaches to analyse given the extent of what she can do and how far she diverges from the norm.

[@davidgrubbs4480]

Thanks for doing this. I love Kate Bush and this song. Your analysis is amazing!

[@rk41gator]

Love your description of Kate as a painter of sound. But when you mention layers and complexity with subtle expression (true of Bush) I think if Genesis, both with Peter or Phil. Impressionists. (love Kate's creative, tongue-in-cheek sense of humor)

[@charlesberton2581]

I love when Kate does the occasional scream.

[@silgen]

Have you heard the song she did for The Comic Strip Presents... called Ken? Lots of screams on that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYDTnWuqYryUnsU

[@TheDreamingJune]

Always wished she did more of those screams. She has such a killer voice with so much versatility.

[@charlesberton2581]

@@TheDreamingJune I do concur. Bjork can also scream. I love when women singers scream. It's just as exciting when male rock singers do it.

[@charlesberton2581]

@@silgen Checking it now. Thank you@

[@charlesberton2581]

@silgen "Leader of the G.O.P." That's the Republicans! She should switch out "Ken" with "Trump", then we'd have a great campaign song!

[@JeffTiberend]

I love her little effect at 3:37. It reminds me of the Diva Dance from the Fifth Element movie.

[@sheldonhowells3083]

Great, entertaining analysis of a brilliant and highly original artist! Thank you.

[@magicbrownie1357]

Pure genius vocally, and a supremely gifted song writer.

[@TheDreamingJune]

Kate Bush is in my top 5 vocalists of all time. Such a unique, expressive and versatile voice that very few artists can emulate.

[@rolandconnor575]

[@paulinestraker8656]

4:49 We are truly blessed to have Kate Bush in our lives. Beth please review Joannie from Kate

[@MLawrence2008]

Great reaction Beth! I think many people don't 'get' Kate, but once you do that can of worms is open forever. If I could afford to Patreon you I would, but in hope I would love you to review Army Dreamers by Kate Bush please.

[@voxquivive3303]

Back in the eighties and nineties Kate was in a league of her own. From 'Song of Solomon' she sings 'Dont want your bullshit. Just want your sexuality. Write me your poetry in motion'. And in the Sensual World when she paraphrases Molly Blooms soliloquay from James Joyces Ulysses 'And then I took a kiss of seedcake back from your mouth. Going deep south going down. With six big wheels we'll roll our bodies out off Howth Head and into the flesh. You said I was a flower of the mountains. Yes. But now I have the power of a womans body. She really was way ahead of the curve.

[@sheldonhowells3083]

Thank you, Beth! I have been a massive fan of Kate Bush for many years. I still remember going out and buying the, "Hounds of Love" album, when it was first released in 1985. Please can I also put a recommendation in for you to look at some of Laura Marling's material. Perhaps the official video for "All My Rage" might be a good place to start. I honestly believe Laura to be the best female singer and songwriter to have come out of the UK since Kate Bush.

[@ColinCarFan]

Your best review yet (made easier and difficult at the same time by the amazing voice and production of Kate Bush!). You could get away with a 1 hour version of just this one of her songs.

[@patrick86806]

nice! so cool to see you geek out about her! she's a complete original artist in all she does!

[@Johnny_Socko]

Thank you for choosing this song! I don't know why this is not more well known, I think it could be massively popular in any age, just like "Running Up That Hill" became. Lorde clearly borrowed from this song in "Green Light", and I say good for her.

[@goldenbells314]

Vocals!! No one sings like Kate Bush. The Meteorologicial mix of this is my fave track of all time. Kate just lets rip with her vocals. Incredible. Great review too! Thanks.

[@jameswarner5809]

I love this song and the way it transforms into a full-on rock number. It also has one of the most varied vocal performances by Kate in terms of styles - she's throwing everything in there at the end.

[@nbedwards8956]

That was fun listening to your analysis and obvious joy reacting to this amazing song and artist! Bravo!

[@dagfincarp1113]

Kate Bush is a true artist.

[@henrifischer1119]

I'm such a big Kate Bush fan that I find myself ridiculous. She makes me so so so happy and alive.

[@garycoates4987]

I'm wearing my Kate Bush tshirt today btw ,, this is a killer song

[@stever7732]

I remember reading somewhere that the cheering crowd to either side of the stage towards the end of the video were members of Kate’s fan club who she invited to the video shoot as a thank you.

[@yvonnecampbell7036]

I grew up with her. We had two lp's The kick inside and Hounds of love. Learned me to sing ;)

[@vinsgraphics]

#2 on my Kate Bush list (Wuthering Heights in at #1 obviously), just love this track, the vibe, very catchy. The video rocks! The “cloud looks like Ireland” helped push it up the Irish charts, no doubt. :D

[@joannepinnow6929]

Kate is my all-time favourite artist, and I love this song. Thanks for the great reaction!

[@alik5895]

Love how you shared in the joy of this expressive song. My favourite of Kate's.

There are not enough surpurlitves for Kate Bush! I've been a fan since her 1st album.

[@colinsmith8908]

Thanks Beth. Don't know how I missed this. And for someone who has been listening to this for decades I had never noticed the jet before.

[@danielrobinson5035]

Love this song. Thanks for this ! You should listen to "Get out of my House" from 'The Dreaming " album.

[@AgainstTheeWickedlyMusic]

The entirety of The Dreaming is so freaking good 🙌

[@Bobsherunkle]

That would be amazing! What a song

[@TheDreamingJune]

Could do this with nearly every song on that album. Kate's vocals on that record are insane.

[@damianbancks7144]

God i love this track. A top 10 album of all time for me. ❤

[@charliepeterson7168]

I was turned on To Kate Bush by a dorm mate in college back in the day when she was putting stuff out. She did have a way of making complexity sound great. Some time it can be just over load and busy. I didn't know how involved she was in the technology her self, amazing. Good recording equipment used to only the in the hands of a few major labels but now many more people have access to it. Another great reaction, thanks.

[@Owlpunk]

I'm a metalhead who loves Hounds of Love and *especially* this song to bits, and I think you expressed perfectly what makes this song so dang good.

[@breakdancinfool]

Wow this song is insanely complex! Love it

[@janvaughan1331]

Two artists in the 80's - I bought their albums Unheard. I saw they had a new album out and I snatched it off of the stands and bought it. Kate Bush was one. The Cocteau Twins was the other.

[@johnglynhughes4239]

Great taste!

[@paddymacIV]

Great assessment,. . yep, just how 'mighty' is this piece from the Genie-uss which is the 'Kato',. . . when this song came out when I was much younger (lol) loved it as a great '45,. . . to be honest just recently 're-discovered' it again and cannot stop playing it , so was really interested to see how your review would go,. . I think I love it even MORE now than when 1st came out. Such an artistically great piece and powerful song,. . but, I am chuckling cos was just pointing this out to someone yesterday, anothyer massiv Kate fan that the 'IRELAND' bit really cracks me up,. . . She is like a little Girl full of excitement in just how She expresses that and like Kate , like millions of us from Irish descent scattered all over the Globe, its great to hear her make such a reference here. I get it!!, and.. it's so cute!! lol ☘💚 As a Bass player also loving Del's crunchy Bass on this as well. For me another particular beauty of a lot of Kate's work is the basis of the song, in a musical sense is really quite simple, then, She adds all these mad vocals n' howls and whatever, and also kinda quirky musical lairs on top of it all. Thanks for your great and interesting review. Lets all keep watching the 'Big Sky'. It will reveal a lot to us ;)

[@GarthPrice-ej6bt]

This is my day-brightener during lunch time at work. 🙂

[@MSmith-Photography]

She is definitely cut from the same cloth as artists like Peter Gabriel. She is a talented artist.

[@gtjohns220]

Everything you pointed out is why Big Boi from Outlast says she is his favorite artist and a huge influence on Outlast music. There is a clop of him talking about his love of Running Up That Hill. He eventually tracked her down in a small town in England and crossed having lunch with her off his bucket list.

[@antivanti]

The Fairlight synth was named after a hydrofoil ferry in Sydney that the maker used to see out of his window. The ferry was probably named after the Fairlight homestead in Sydney, which in turn was probably named after Fairlight, a village in East Sussex, UK. The software piracy group Fairlight got its name from the synth... or a C64 game which got its name from the village...

Somewhere I thought I read that she used her sampling board to sample her own voice and add it in so that she could be her own backing vocalist... I may have that mixed up with someone else, but I frequently hear backing vocals in Kate Bush's songs that sound like her herself... Might have imagined that or it might be someone else completely....

[@BethRoars]

Kate Bush is definitely her own backing vocalist on this so you might be right!

[@WarrenBridges-um5cg]

@@BethRoars She's been doing it since the first track on the first album in 1978. Multiple vocal backing tracks too.

I almost never listen to single tracks from this album- I treat it like a Pink Floyd album- in it's entirety or not at all... same with Lennox Diva or Peter Gabriel (first four albums- #3 my fave). Love Kate's voice, her songs, and above all else, this album...
