Kate Bush - Deeper Understanding - full length still video

[@apffilms]

I love this version. It actually put tears in my eyes. So sad how the computer is trying to communicate with her. Their connection. It totally works for me. I've always felt this song was way ahead of it's time. The general public didn't really start using computers on a more personable manner until maybe four to five years later. I also love the extended ending.

[@Vindrag]

I've reached 100 plays already. I'm speechless on the outside, but constantly writing my poetry on the inside. Thank you Kate! This is a genius work!

[@electric-del]

One of my favourite Kate Bush songs ever. Probably the most appropriate use of Auto-tune I've heard. Great to hear a new take on it.

[@carlyfarly69]

I can't believe 41 people dislike this. It was always my favourite track from The Sensual World, and now, kate has taken it to another dimension. To turn a 22 year old album track into a relevant single that shits over everything else that has been released so far in 2011 is sheer genius. Director's Cut is going to be one hell of an album. Roll on May 16th...

[@Vindrag]

I just purchased my copy of this single from iTunes! =) I want to see Kate as #1 in the UK, she deserves it with this amazing record!

[@markxist]

Kate, you're a genius. This was such a prescient song back in '89 and is just the song for our time now

[@Vindrag]

Oh... I still listen to this!!! 569 plays on my iTunes, and still AMAZING!!! Thank you Kate! =)

[@btonsteve65]

OOOPS! I've just spent 40 minutes repeatedly listening to this in front of the computer, talk about ironic. I'm taking the dog down to the beach now. LOVE this reworking and SO exciting to have Kate Bush back!!

[@wispa25]

So overwhelmed to have Kate back amongst us. Thank you Kate. Can't wait for the album.

[@JohnnyBeatdown]

Have any of those people complaining that the song sounds "too weird" "robotic" or "strange" or "too experimental" ever heard any Kate Bush music beyond Wuthering Heights? People are acting like she has never released a song with computer effects, weird vocals, ambient noises or offbeat timings before

[@Klute1977]

For a reworking of an old track, this is very much like having a brand new Kate Bush track! I am so excited about the new album, not that I wasn't before but even more so now! Thank you so much for sharing this music with us Kate!

[@rainbowsalads]

This mix is becoming rather addictive indeed : ) its fun to sing along too ( knowing the original well also helps.)

[@chrisrkelly61]

she is still very beautiful and a fabulous voice and talent i fell in love with her music 35 yrs ago and to be lost in her world is bliss kate is forever in my life such a genious song writer and singer...nuff said!!

[@nuwuisme]

It's beautiful. The drum and the bass is really awesome.

[@asapents]

Beautiful, treatment on the chorus lifts out the beauty of the melody really well. Best female singer/songwriter this country has ever produced by a long way. Love her true.x

[@AbkinArchitect]

this version is much more accurate, it's right on the spot, somehow with years maybe even Kate got deeper understanding of her own material. and that's what she's saying to us... i think that 4 an artist to revisit her art - is a great process to be a part of! thank you Kate Bush!

[@conmad]

love it..love it.. love it... love it.. love it.. love it... Kate wonderful as ever...

[@bourdour]

Love the quirky rhythms and the message behind it all.

[@bearhunt01]

Great. She always has a wonderful voice.

[@Vindrag]

I cannot stop listen to this beautiful track! Over 200 plays already and it still sounds new everytime! :)

[@joellyshooshoo]

i like her voice in this song. i love the drums and the overall natural feel to it, thank you, Kate xxx

[@ryansmith83]

I love this new version so much. The computer voice is growing on me, but the new drums & bass, along with the awesome ending have put me instantly in love with this. It's been on repeat for half an hour.

[@areyoureceivingme]

LOVE the vocoder! That was so unexpected! Brings this right into 2011. Kate, you still rule- of course!

[@Vindrag]

WOW... Still amazing!!! =) I thought I could get bored of it, since it's not a new track, but she took it to another dimension. Awesome!!

[@bodylan11]

This a direction I would love to hear Kate Bush go in now. 2022. Bedroom production, genre bending, patchwork style, glitch, loop, sample, etc. That would be exciting!

[@IanMWalker]

I always liked this one since it resonates with me and as others have said, amazing that she predicted back in '89 what is happening to us these days. Plus I love that we hear her son as the computer voice. Finally, just brilliant that we're getting more music from this beloved, one of a kind entertainer.

[@stringsie]

Kate you never cease to move me. This is beautiful! Bless you x

[@andysfliu]

Wonderful! Like the military drum beat and the addition of harmonicas...

[@Vindrag]

Using the technology she has predicted 20 years ago, she re-works her song! Genius!

[@alfar100]

Also great to have this extraordinary artist back on the music scene again! Love you Kate!!!

[@koolaidnhemlock]

love the bluesy feel to this ... picture kate in a smoke filled studio late at night, tapping her foot and unleashing that other worldly voice... magical

[@DebbyTessy]

Very happy to hear something from Kate :) You can really hear that she's older now but she her talent is still as great as ever!

[@silverascal]

Listening to "DU" '11 on KZbin doesn't do it justice. A week with a new working of an old Kate Bush song that, in fact, makes it seem like a new Kate Bush song, is a happy week. "DU" '11 is addicting me to my computer, and I didn't think I could become more chained to it than I already am. But it's wonderful.

[@MrTimboy345]

Especially the refrain with the changing harmonies and chordes is much more powerful in this version than in the original I think...

[@gloria1970]

I love it! Who cares if it's an old tune? Kate the Great is back again and I love her! An album of re-worked material will be an album of classics. I can't wait for it. She just needs to do a tour to accompany the album and all my Christmases will have come at once. This is one phenomenal lady. She's brilliant!

[@andrewpearce89]

I love this reworking! there's a certain note in the chorus which gives me the chills everytime I listen it. It's just so sublime.

[@kateprawn]

I wasn't sure about this when I first heard it as I love the original. I must admith I thought it was still 1st April! Anyway now I've heard it again I can appreciate it more. Just can't wait to see the video now and to hear the rest of the tracks!

[@MrGerloc]

Its so Beautiful , it brings tears to my eyes, Just open you Minds and feel it, I love you Kate.

[@craigieboy2001]

"As the people here grow colder, I turn to my computer and spend my evenings with it, like a friend". It's amazing that Kate predicted in 1989 the exact thing that all of us writing comments on this page are doing now. Spending the evenings alone with our computers. Kate, you are one in a million.

[@OrangeHat101]

the original amazing, and this version is also amazing. They impact me in different ways, and i think they are both equally as great.

[@eecarter333]

Very Different to what I was expecting, and worthy of several close listens to understand (or at least try to) exactly what she has done with this track. It sent a shiver up my spine: I loved it. Can't wait to see what fresh delights the new/old album has for us

[@billida]

i just bought it and played it with headphones on. A lot better than here of course. the sound is incredible, and the new orchestration is not simpler, there are a lot of details, sounds, choirs etc...it is beautiful. ok Kate, i'm hooked (again).

[@menro1]

a new single, new album , a new film, and working on an album with new material !!! Oh my......couldn't be better

[@Klute1977]

I actually find the voice of the "computer" deeply moving as to me it sounds like a real machine almost becoming human as if it genuinely wants to bring us comfort in our loneliness and disconnection from each other.

[@sickofwaitingtables]

I miss the trio but I love it. Kate really took a chance with this and it works. Honestly, the first time you ever heard The Dreaming, did you love it right away? For me, at least, it took a few listens for me to understand and appreciate it. Now it's my favorite album of all time. It's KATE BUSH, guys, she's not going to live up to your expectations. She's going to create something entirely new and different and she will surpass them.

[@purewish]

I think this is brilliant, the more I listen, the better it gets! Good to know Kate is experimenting again and dividing opinion... just like Wuthering Heights did :)

[@JazzySimpleton]

I just love this woman. This is such an odd choice for a single, just like Breathing, Sat in Your Lap or The Dreaming were before it. And I love her for it. I love it that she doesn't compromise, doesn't care to be mainstream or follow the rules. She does what feels right for her. And many times this means releasing daring, uneasy, sophisticated songs, with no commercial appeal, as her singles. She knows their worth. And I'm there with her. This song, like the others I've mentioned, is AMAZING.

[@secondbible]

she has a beautiful voice, doesn't she ? like a dreamy, lovely fairy, re-entering the world she came from, after the great mission she had, taking so many with her :) welcome back.

[@Jokaanan]

This is fascinating and lovely. I'm so excited for her new album.

[@silverascal]

Love it. The first listen was off-putting, and I was so intent on noticing the differences between it and the original, that I was nit-picking and finding disappointment because it wasn't living up to what I had pre-conceived. But listening to it more, it's getting in to my brain, and I'm living it. It IS like a child playing with a new toy, but that's the whole point!: Being enthralled by something artificial, false, cheap commodity, and omnipresent. I'll be listening to it all day, and m

[@MonicaGz]

Kate Bush has been, and always will be, and innovative musician and performer. People didn't "get" her in her early days and some people won't "get" her now. That really doesn't matter because Kate makes music the way she believes music should be made. As one of the first, if not the first, person to approach music as a true "multi-media" process, I am not surprised by her latest approach to music. You may not like it but that doesn't make it bad. It makes it music by Kate Bush.

[@never4everuk]

Didn't have enough room to put the rest of my comment. Kate doesn't ask us to be fans or court publicity so I am grateful for this little gift. Also does anyone else think a part of the song reminds them of watching you without me from HOL.

[@whirljackman]

I absolutely love this version. It's definitely a separate song from the original. I think this shows a mournful and scary quality in the new computer voice. it's almost as if it's been programmed to sound as though it speaks with emotion. The musical bit at the end feels so expressive of being lost in not being able to make a human connection Brilliant as always. This woman is genius!

[@louloufriendlywelshdragon]

wonderful to hear from kate again have been a fan for yrs looking forward to new album

[@iAdzy]

I LOVE IT! The edited voice is very eerie, brilliant.

[@ilovemess]

i love this! so crafted and considered with a wry darkness that only kate does. new vocal is beautiful with its pathos and blues. no;one makes music as exciting or as originally accessible. she's a source of constantly , profound inspiration. ray

[@loopyl93]

love this song

[@bushdor]

I think still in 2011 Kate Bush sounds as fresh and innovative as in 1978. GREAT!!!

[@Vindrag]

I am happy to see more and more comments saying they have learned to love this record after a few listens. It is in my opinion, so clever, emotional and it takes me to another dimension. Both versions are equally brilliant. That says alot! The new chorus have made me interpret the meaning of the song in new ways, she really knows how to interact with the listener. Love her. Love this song. Don't forget to purchase it on iTunes or other online stores! =)

[@Toooder]

Quite brilliant & totally different to the original. Love it.

[@jerryfrady]

Beautiful! And can't wait for the remaining album and upcoming "refreshes". Took a few listens but loving the chorus too. The syncopated percussion in that section is pretty cool. I'm hearing new things on each listen. Definitely some sounds off Peter Gabriel collaboration. Thanks K8!

[@craigieboy2001]

This is just amazing... I love it.

[@Jaybeemusic]

Her real achievement is a lifelong one: that so many people care, so much. Amazing response here.

[@simply14u]

Yay! Kate's back. I'm just not so sure about the "computer" voice at the moment. I've just been playing this one and the original. SO looking forward to the new album/material!

[@OliverNo12]

Hauntingly perfect....it just works so well. I loved the original but this is even better....

[@babooshky]

I love the new orchestration, very Aerialesque!

[@thatscousedude]

the irony of being huddled over this laptop listening to this particular song hasn't been missed!x

[@mistbringer]

amazing! Incredible that lyrics are written 22 yrs ago, so relevant now.

[@rohankiwi]

I will have to see if the computer effects grow on me, but the ambiance in this version is stunning and I love it! Even on youtube! Can't wait to hear it off the album. Trio sound amazing as always. Kate has always challenged me and so many times I have listened and listened and listened until, finally, I get a 'deeper understanding'. If others don't get that, that's cool with me too.

[@Klute1977]

What can I say this is fabulous, love the new vocal Kate! Such exciting news about the new label I'm just sorry I can't buy the single in the shop as I'm old fashioned that way but will be downloading tomrrow!

[@markyliciously]

Love it...!

[@Rogueofmv]

The instrumentation here is amazing. This is so much simpler, yet more modern-sounding than the 1989 version. Breathtaking.

[@veidt72]

consider it a gift, a Kate Bush album of covers by Kate Bush.. a different way to love the songs we already loved. I feel myself lucky. And she can do everything she likes as I'm sure I will love the results. ;-)

[@jtarantula3390]

THESE NEW VERSIONS ARE SUPERB, AMAZING

[@DebbyTessy]

My 3th reaction but that's just because it's so super and awesome and great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really can't wait for this + the other new album to come out! (@ 3:50 she looks so young!) Nothing can compare to Kate Bush! She's the best!

[@sheamie4]

This is so much better than the previously released version. I think that the forthcoming album will be so much more than people had expected. Can't wait :-)

[@Goneformilesnow]

I love when artists change up some of their songs. The whole intent about this album is having A NEW TAKE on the old material. I'm confused why so many people keep talking about how she is "trying to improve" her songs. This has nothing to do with improving the originals. Kate herself said she considers this a new album. I myself consider this album as "what it would be like for Kate to perform live" in 2011. LOVE the harmonica at the end! very Southern, smoky, and dark.

[@Phoenixwind]

After listening many more times (I hated it at first) I now find it so breathtaking and sad I might just cry. Well done, Kate.

[@Klute1977]

I really don't understand why people are so negative about this track, I've listened to it about 20 times now and I think it's right up there with her finest work such as Aerial or the Dreaming. I really love TRS and Sensual World as they were but they weren't as risky in sonic terms as her earlier albums. I think she is back playing the edge here in away we haven't had since Hounds of Love. Very thrilling for all her fans!

[@MikesClaws]

I love this version. I think this song got another message than the original. Because this time it's her SON who sings: "Hello, I know that you've been feeling tired. I bring you love and deeper understanding. Hello, I know that you're unhappy. I bring you love and deeper understanding." So maybe the new message is: There IS much love to give and receive, but you have to seek in the right places. (Like Family, but not computers) Her son proves this point of view.

[@fonteyn]

I wish I had been a musical genius, then I could've sat back for 20 or 30 years getting stoned, occasionally releasing poorly rehashed versions of my culture-altering masterpieces and still have my 'loyal fans' make all kinds of excuses as to why we should all be so grateful for any form of 'new work' from this 'untouchable' genius. Nice work if you can get it.

[@billida]

All the comments make me laugh a lot, and make me think that Kate perfectly achieved what she wanted. She doesn't care AT ALL of what people think of her and her job. She delivers what she thinks is an actual version of her song, and knowing how perfectionnist she is, i have no doubt that this is EXACTLY what she wanted us to hear.

[@Vindrag]

Too many are complaining about the chorus (the robot voice) - that part have made me sentimental all day long now. Go Bertie!

[@smeeinit]

Love it.

[@Kajun666]

Amazing song, was very suprised how her new stuff would sound.

[@LarryWake]

It's good to know that Kate Bush is still alive. And doing science.

[@blowthetrombone]

Really loved the last bit, the bit that BBC didn't play. Think I love it

[@vibesinthesky]

Just got in and heard this for the first time. Have to say I (quite) like it up to 2:30 as I'm having a bit of a job getting used to the autotune vocal, but I LOVE it from 2:31to 6:32 where the harmonica playing "duetting" with the "Bring me ... little black box... etc " vocal is absolutely brilliant! Bodes really well for the album.

[@fonteyn]

yes i sorry what was I thinking? Everything Kate will ever do and release is automatically amazing, utterly moving and profound. It s also a phenomenally clever reaction to our brand new 'computer age' that we've only just started living in. We don't even need to hear it as it's already amazing and when she next releases something in 20 years - an ahead of it's time bootleg of Do the Bartman and Wuthering heights (feat Akon) we will all rejoice in being blessed with Kate's presence again!

[@zack11993]

This is my 7th listen and it gets better every time.

[@mac8122]

Excellent

[@GrainneMhaol]

It's incredible how prophetic this song was when it was first released, essentially predicting the Internet and how it would consume people. It's still surprisingly relevant. In other news, I'm so excited that Kate is recording again! Even if it isn't new material.

[@SpleeMckee]

I love her! Everything she does is awesome imo :) My new favorite song ^_^

[@billida]

this was really weird the first time... but it gets better when listened again. How can someone says that her voice is weakening ? it is a choice here. And listen to the part she added, her voice didn't weaken at all. It is amazing to see how she treats her own material. We see her old songs as treasures too sacred to be modified, she doesn't, and she is right. I love her for more than 30 years now, and i will go on.

[@AndySnap]

A unique Kate Bush journey in sound as much as a song.

[@theroadbeckons]

The older I get the more I Bang My head, but I LIKE THIS!!!! lyrics are truly up with the time too!

[@troymckelvie]

Love it!

[@muziktrkr]

Keep in mind she wrote this over 20 years ago. Topic was way ahead of its time... but that's no surprise when it comes to Kate. At least people don't have to be planked to their desktop for hours, but the song is a cautionary tale for being too dependent on their gadgets.

[@secondbible]

this one has really lightened the candle

[@glynhart7450]

Well this sucks This sucks because.CANADA NEVER RELEASD THIS HEAVENLY MUSIC.IN CANADA.THAT IM AWEARE OF.WE HAVE BEEN DEPRIBED OF THIS ANGELES VOICE FOR LONG ENOUGH.
