Kate Bush - Hounds Of Love (Alternative)

Kate released this version of "Hounds Of Love" as a 12'' single in 1986.
Lyrics:
When I was a child
Running away from nothing
Heading for home
(Do-de do do, do-de da da)
Now hounds of love are hunting
(Do-de do do, do-de da da)
I've always been a coward
(Do-de do do, do-de da da)
And I don't know what's good for me
Come on, run, run, run, run, run, run honey
Run from the hounds of love
Run, run, run, run, run, run honey
Run from the hounds of love
Run, run, run, run, run, keep runnin'
Run from the hounds of love
They need lo-lo-lo-lo-love, yeah
(Do-de do do, do-de da da)
Do you know what I really need
I know what I really need
(Do-de do do, do-de da da)
I don't know what's good for me
I don't know what's good for me
(Do-de do do, do-de da da)
Oooh, I need love
Now hounds of love are hunting
(Do-de do do, do-de da da)
I've always been a coward
(Do-de do do, do-de da da)
And I don't know what's good for me
(Do-de do do, do-de da da)
I never know what's good for me
Come on, run, run, run, run, run, run honey
Run from the hounds of love
Run, run, run, run, run, keep runnin'
Run from the hounds of love
Run, run, run, run, run, run honey
Run from the hounds of love
So run, run, run, run honey
(Do-de do do, do-de da da)
Run, run, honey
Run, run, run, run
(Do-de do do, do-de da da)
(Do-de do do, do-de da da)
Run, run, run, run, run, keep runnin'
Run from the hounds of love
Run, run, run, run, run, run honey
Run from the hounds of love
Run
Run
RUN from the hounds of love

Run Run Run Run Run Run Honey... RUN FROM THE HOUNDS OF LOVE...

DOO DOO DOO... DOO DAH DAH...

[@AH-be6bu]

profile picture checks out.

[@peterbryant19]

I have to check in every so often and give this a listen. How much better and more interesting is the world with Kate Bush.

[@toddbebbington7397]

Immensely so.

[@axeattheroots9066]

I've listened to the official version so many times I know it inside and out. While I feel the official is better (which was why it was released) this is new and fresh to me and I'm loving it. Still in its own right a great song and fascinating to hear the artistic process in mid-flight.

[@aubindemontfalcon5967]

Yeah, that's also the case for live versions of songs. You get used to listen to the original album tracks (with often very "polished" productions), but sometimes it's good to hear live or demo versions because it shows a new side for songs.

[@nickavenoso7851]

Yeah. There’s a video where the two versions are put together and it works very well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJeQf2CEm9msnqM

[@nigelturner2356]

I have always loved this far more than the usual version. Still makes my spine tingle 30 years on.

[@nigelturner2356]

And even now, 35 years on!!!

[@thischarminglovehound2376]

Serious goosebumps. Picturing her fleshing this out in her studio not knowing she was creating one of the greatest albums of all time.

[@v3lv3lv3lv]

God I love this woman

[@nellies]

I love this version sososo much. I like that we have two different versions! I can see why she chose the other version, it's more of a hit, but this is amazing.

[@steveokon5431]

I just LOVE Her creativity, and her albums!!

[@brianallsopp69]

I've loved her 78 .....

[@adrianwarwick2193]

Where would our souls be without Music xxxx

[@rvufo]

love that this draft was discovered. love the experiments of trying to figure out the main melodies of songs. would love to hear more of the experiment versions of more of her songs.

[@jrdn48]

I really wish she kept the "do do do, do da da" in the original 😢

[@peterbryant19]

Back for another listen, 1 month since the last.

[@TheCNRProject]

I love this version of the song in its own right, understand why they used the official version but I love Kate's vocals here, very raw and clear. Love it when I can enjoy different versions of the same song!

[@trevl8955]

Del Palmer mixed this version long after the album version. It was always intended for the 12" single - not the album.

[@san.asaavedra2518]

Kate's creative processes are so mesmerizing and beautiful, her own background vocals and intonations so different from the album version made my heart race 💌

[@BenMettin-i3g]

Goosebumps all over...

[@amerocker]

I like it! I really do, but I do miss the "hound" sounds she makes on the album version, "Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo/Aooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh!"

[@buildings_and_food]

yeah... but the RUN RUN RUN still sounds like a barking dog, though!

[@thischarminglovehound2376]

Arf! Arf! Arf! Arf!

[@jackmellor5536]

My favourite version of the song

[@GarthPrice-ej6bt]

Reminiscent of the difference between Experiment IV and its 12" version. I love both of them - and now I am loving both versions of this song. Good show, Kate.

[@Foreveruwillwait]

Come back to this everyday, masterpiece

[@peggs1]

Fabulous version. Haunting. Many thanks for posting

[@nomisnestral6956]

Headin' for home - that's the true gem here.

[@char1737]

thanks for starting the video with a wolf/husky as my Husky Achilles passed and i am incomplete without him

[@smithy2402]

I'll Take This RAW Version EveryDay... Cause I Love It, SEE... Cause I Love RAW, SEE SEE...

[@frankbrown4780]

It feels like a companion piece, like maybe she was writing a musical and this was a reprise.

[@landylocked]

Frank Brown a Kate Bush musical would be the greatest thing ever

[@ADRHYN]

Would not put it past her, considering the company she keeps and that alot of the musicals of that time started as concept albums.

[@evebuigues]

@@landylocked Her shows in London a few years back were very much like a musical

[@cyclesgoff9768]

My instinct is that it was just an initial working mix with a guide vocal, excellent though 😍

[@norwegianforestcat7471]

Perfect description ✨

[@dnabodyshop]

Love both versions of this song. Brilliant song from a brilliant songwriter.

[@theedge269]

Incredible. Appreciate the upload.

[@ScarySquare]

I love this song! It's amazing, her voice here is one of the best I've ever heard. It's a very nice tribute video. :)

[@paulmearing9192]

I still have this on vinyl 12" with the jig of life on the B side and the handsome cabin boy. Superb

[@DaveInBridport]

this is just brilliant

[@xenobeast125]

ɷɷɷ I Haveeee Watched Thissss Movie Leakedddd Versionnn Here : - t.co/EQMyZQlo5e

[@razrv3lc]

This track almost sounds like this was before she quite decided what she wanted the lead melody to be so she's just playing around over the instrumental.

[@hansvandermeulen5515]

This was a early version that wzs released as a 12 inch. The album version is a remake.

[@trfesok]

Her vocal is clearer here. I put both versions in my Buch playlist. Thanks for the upload!

[@anabasis3144]

Outstanding, thank you for posting this alternate version!

[@cyclesgoff9768]

Thanks for uploading this stuff 😍

[@YansaMusic]

Love it !!

[@alanlane3670]

A musical genius.......

[@whiteduke75]

Cello's are beautiful here

[@bjorkissimo]

I’ve always liked this version...and the cover is absolutely stunning

[@bryannned]

Those backing vocals kind of give me a sense of nostalgia? Lol idk but I wish she would have somehow used them on the original song but I’m grateful this version was released to the public

[@queerchoreography54]

Oh god, it’s never been my fav song of hers, but this has turned my interest back.

[@ziggdog3153]

I luv this version just as much as the original.

[@fletcherstenki3323]

Due du du, due da da. Dew on my new, newfoundland love.

[@mistertrask7833]

Give'r till ya shiver, by's!

[@raymondneal6835]

Awesome! Love it, thx.

[@thenick3795]

Piękny głos piękna kobieta Piękne wszystko

[@bobbysid]

My fave version. Kills me

[@Kyoukichi]

I love it as much as the original :)))

[@lillired857]

I still have this 12"

[@timothymcmanus2970]

great thank you :)

[@prittywynzi663]

I love very so much❤️❤️🎼

[@lhooq27]

I just discovered that this exists and think it absolutely wonderful. Though this may very well sound like sacrilege to some, I may prefer this Hounds of Love to the original. Don't get me wrong, the version most know is undoubtedly a masterpiece (as is the entire album). However, this sounds beautifully less refined, and in it there's a genuine urgency to the cadence of her voice that lends itself perfectly to the lyrics.

[@ericmillington9062]

Wow, the image arounf 0.43 actually stopped me breathing!

[@mrblobby7864]

I prefer the final version but this is still amazing!

[@VeraLucille]

The drums tho 👌🏻

[@jennapherhague5728]

Before Katy Perry.....Kate Bush! I've never heard this version before but I love it! Her voice is so fierce in this version, her singing so raw; I can see why the "official" or "final" version made the album. But this version just tears the song apart❤️

[@PoshLifeforME]

cool, I never knew it existed and I thought I knew her stuff well.

[@peterdcarter1]

very nice

[@v3lv3lv3lv]

Fucking insane

[@Amy-or4ms]

❤❤❤❤

[@Severin69]

The beginning sounds like Burn the Witch by Radiohead.

[@60leebee]

Yes, the beginning of Burn the Witch by Radiohead does sound like the start of this Kate Bush song. Hey, many recording artists are influenced by Kate's music; sometimes without even being aware of it. :)

[@fatwhitejen5035]

Lee B It totally does and it's interesting that you say that as I've said to my mate many times, to his dismay, that the intro to Burn the Witch is the only good part of the song.

[@Aardvarkjamm]

It always makes me chuckle,when the comparison is in reverse. That is purely as an observation and not meant as a criticism in any way,if for no other reason than I have no wish to upset any chickens particularly vicious ones residing not that far from myself. You have also given me a new piece of music to check out, as I have never heard the Radiohead song. Thank you :-)

[@janewright2800]

Love both version's x

[@smithy2402]

DOO DOO DOO... DOO DAH DAH...

[@jazzycity9838]

This is like the commercial version of the original Hounds Of Love.

[@RichochetK9]

💛🖤❤

[@UmbrellaWatch]

you will always have this in your heart. and i will to. and we hounds are hunting and i will never stop hunting you. Run away from me if you have to but you wont get away. :) smiles. You know what i really mean.

[@smithy2402]

And I Like KATE RAW... SEE, SEE...

[@Foreveruwillwait]

wow

[@richardlionheart3965]

Diddly doo doo diddly da da !

[@hansvandermeulen5515]

This is the original 12" version, apparehtly an early version. It sounds a bit more commercial with that sing-along chorus.

[@cosmicdrifter287]

i`m bushhacked,together with my hounds of love.

[@aubindemontfalcon5967]

Where does this come from ??? An original demo from the song ? Quite impressing !

[@atmusc]

I think this the version included in "This Woman's Work" CD box set.

[@schiacciatrollo]

i like it .. even though .. it is a bit like petting against the fur

[@alliehunu8475]

Don't know if this is still an active account, but where did you find the artwork at 2:21?

[@Symphonyofflowers]

Yes, my account is still active. You can find that picture here: katebush.galactic.to/a20.jpgAnd some other pictures from the same series here: katebush.galactic.to/art.htmlAll the paintings are by Herb Leonhard.

[@alliehunu8475]

Symphonyofflowers awesome, thanks :)

[@thalesm4056]

Do do do de da da da that's all I want to say to you

[@char1737]

HUSKIES !

[@bearr3096]

I was really thrown by the lyrics being so different and out of step with the music. I'm so glad we ended up with a better version.

[@dannyfriar5653]

Really didn't like this version to be honest but thanks for uploading.

[@loupcaldeira]

I feel like “Burn The Witch” by Radiohead has something to do with this demo

[@MrNimrob]

something of cindy lauper here

[@crissyjones1547]

@bushdid9/11 how?

[@MaryBroadcastVideos]

cool video, have a look at my videos too. Thx! Cheers Mary

[@crulge]

this is weird as hell

[@PippoOfEarth]

You say that like it's a bad thing. Long live the weird!!

[@crulge]

PippoOfEarth nah that's a great thing. kate bush is queen

[@razrv3lc]

It really is. The music is so familiar but the melodies are so different. It's making my brain feel weird lol

[@retrogta3692]

Just not as good is it

[@smithy2402]

DOO DOO DOO... DOO DAH DAH...
