Kate Bush - Suspended in Gaffa - Official Music Video

[@larryfreda5208]

The Dreaming is her best album. Underrated. Every song an artistic masterpiece

[@mrtimtremmel8465]

at the time when i listened to it (1985) I hated it. Couldnt understand it really. It took me quite a while to like it. Seemed so confused and chaotic compated to Hounds of Love.

[@adriennelowe8250]

I agree. My favorite.

[@kurtu5]

The cool thing is when you realize that all the choreography, the costuming, the set, the lyrics, the music, all the things that are related to artistry, that is all Kate. Its her. All you see and hear are her ideas. One amazing woman. No shade to the artists of camera operation, lighting, sound, editing, that put their own sweat and art into this media.

[@dalilaescayola9826]

this is an insane vocal performance she poured her heart into this song

There's only a VERY few actual Geniuses in modern music history.. Kate is top of that list. A once in 100 year talent.

[@kingslaphappy1533]

What I always liked about Kate is her ability to create songs that are not trying to imitate other artists work.. to say that she is creative and original is a massive understatement.

[@flavioscorner]

Has anyone ever noticed how she sings each verse all in one breath, without breathing in the middle of the verses? Amazing artistry :) Viva Kate

[@TheDreamingJune]

I've tried singing this song and the verses are hard. She has great breath control.

Gotta admit, in the 80's I was a huge metal head focused on bands like metallica and megadeth. Only now in my older age do I realize what I was missing. This woman is perfection. The music is perfection. What a time to be alive.

[@wisperianeyes]

I don't know how to explain how I feel about this song other than to say it's literally music. How it's put together, the lyrics, the melodies, the pitches, everything. It's perfect. I love it.

[@QuadiePoo]

This is one of those songs you grow up with that your mom loves and you wonder why she loves it. Then you come across is later in life and you wonder why you hated it to begin with. It's unique, eclectic, and catchy. Many artists today wouldn't be here without this talented woman. She helped inspire Bjork and Florence + the Machine. She was an art pop mastermind. She may seem weird, but she knew what she was doing.

[@Bertiebaby]

I've had the same relationship with Paul Simon's Graceland. I used to hate it as a young kid whenever my mom would put it on. One day in my late teens I listened to it again out of curiosity, and got stuck with it running permanently in my playlists ever since.

[@nizhoni3339]

one of my best friends ever is a mega kate bush fan. the first time i heard this song, we were smoking and i was so high i could barely comprehend what i was hearing. the quick & snappy rhythm, the insane vocal performance, the oddly biblical and self-aware and existential (almost self-deprecating) lyrics, the child-like scared whispering in the background, it put me in a headspace i don't know how to describe. it was like i was a child again or something. it was almost like a song i heard before i was born, wherever you are before you live, and hearing it again took me back to that place. it took me back to a place i can't even really comprehend or i even know for sure exists. chills. i love this song because of that.

[@swiminthesea6724]

That’s great thanks for sharing

[@kurtu5]

A lot of other artists back then did this. We had only radio and broadcast tv, which was boring. We would get high and sit in each others bedrooms listening to albums together. Just people, sitting in a room, listening to music, for hours on end. Those albums took us on spiritual journeys.

[@trevl8955]

@Time Keeper You have no idea how ahead of its time it really was. Del Palmer once said they had a lot of seasoned musicians quit on Kate during the making of this album because her vision was beyond their comprehension and capacity as musicians and they had no clue how to achieve what she wanted. So yeah... let that sink in for a moment.

[Chorus] Suddenly my feet are feet of mud It all goes slow-mo I don't know why I'm crying Am I suspended in gaffa? Not until I'm ready for you Not until I'm ready for you Can I have it all? [Verse 3] I try to get nearer, but as it gets clearer There's something appears in the way - it's a plank in me eye With a camel who's trying to get through it Am I doing it? Can I have it all now? I want it all [Verse 4] I pull out the plank and say, "Thank you for yanking me Back to the fact that there's always something to distract But sometimes it's hard to know if I'm doing it right" Can I have it all now? I want it all Can I have it all now? I want it all Can I have it all? I want it all I can't have it all [Pre-Chorus 2] "We all have a dream... maybe" [Chorus] Suddenly my feet are feet of mud It all goes slow-mo I don't know why I'm crying Am I suspended in gaffa? Not until I'm ready for you Not until I'm ready for you Can I have it all? [Verse 5] I won't open boxes that I am told not to I'm not a Pandora, I'm much more like That girl in the mirror between you and me She don't stand a chance of getting anywhere at all I want it all Not anywhere at all I want it all No, not a thing I want it all She can't have it all [Pre-Chorus 3] "Mother, where are the angels? I'm scared of the changes" [Chorus] Suddenly my feet are feet of mud It all goes slow-mo I don't know why I'm crying Am I suspended in Gaffa? Not until I'm ready for you Not until I'm ready for you [Chorus] Suddenly my feet are feet of mud It all goes slow-mo I don't know why I'm crying Am I suspended in Gaffa?

[@paulaskeete1243]

Thanks.

[@joxer96]

Just as beautiful and fresh as it sounded more than 30 years ago. Timeless. Some insight into the meaning of the song from Kate herself: "The idea of the song is that of being given a glimpse of 'God' - something that we dearly want - but being told that unless we work for it, we will never see it again, and even then, we might not be worthy of it. Of course, everybody wants the reward without the toil, so people try to find a way out of the hard work, still hoping to claim the prize, but such is not the case. The choruses are meant to express the feeling of entering timelessness as you become ready for the experience, but only when you are ready."

[@penearth]

Thanks for this explanation. It's a track of sublime genius and you have given it even more meaning.

[@razrv3lc]

It's odd that people needed an explanation for this one. It's probably one of her most straightforward songs. The lyrics pretty much say exactly what it's about haha

[@andreygirl]

@@razrv3lc i'm sure most people know it's about wanting something and not wanting to work for it. but a lot of people, especially those who didn't grow up in the organized church, may not have understood all the biblical references kate makes in this song, which are what i think gives the song so much of its power. comparing something you want to a god that you can see but can't reach -- and some people may not have gotten the god part.

I cant even explain what this song does to me... It just breaks me and makes me feel a sense of familiarity and dreaming. I had a wonderful old art tutor when I was very young and she was the first person I ever felt like I had a true emotional and spiritual connection... The scene where Kate hugs this older woman.. Thats what my tutor looked like... I grew up, we fell out, I was depressed and shutting others out... Now years later... Theres no way of me contacting this woman in the flesh, but rather... I feel she is my angel. I still feel her warmth and presence. I would love to know who Kate was feeling that towards in this video... Imagine being lost in your own whimsy and never feeling grounded... Yet a hug from who ever she was is what she dreamed of most. Its shattering yet I feel so much love. Oh my gods... This song always was special to me and to see the video truly ROCKED me!

Copy and paste if you think that Kate Bush should be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

[@paulallen8109]

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a joke. Considering what "artists" are in it, nothing more needs to be said. No need for Kate Bush to be inducted into it, she has made her music and influenced others who look up to her. Her music transcends generations. That goes farther than any jingoist "Hall of Fame".

[@Neuroneos]

Paul Allen Most artists in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame deserve to be in it, so what's your point?

[@paulallen8109]

Neuroneos Malcolm McLaren's pseudo-punk project Sex Pistols too? A single album granted them entry? Ritchie Valens? Bill Haley? Bee Gees? AC/DC (many metalheads think they're not even worth mentioning), George Harrison's contribution to music was questionable to more than just the ex-Beatles. Robert Christgau, a huge Beatles fan rated most of his albums C- . ABBA weren't even liked by Swedish critics, who constantly scratched their heads how they ever made it big abroad. Did they ever release a truly good album? Donna Summer?? Kiss, the Spice Girls of 70's hard rock? And then we come to Madonna. Kudos to her for managing to "reinvent" herself every four years and staying fit in her 50's. Musically she's not even on the radar. That is but mentioning a few. A few too many artists who made their names with covers and mainstream fame just to be ignored. And a few too many overlooked ones who truly were admired pioneers (many of which did commercially well) and made their *own* path in music rather than following trends. "Most artists in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame deserve to be in it, so what's your point?" Sounds like a cop-out to me. If that is your belief then what is your issue with Kate Bush not being in it? Obviously she's not worthy to be in this group of "most artsts" then. If that is your wisdom Mr./Ms.Troll then you can safely sit back and wait until the day they decide to follow your "copy and paste" youtube pyramid selling scheme. My point - in case that truly eluded you - is that the rock n roll hall of fame means even less than the Academy Awards these days, who seemingly hand out their Oscars on a whim on far too many occasions, so whether Kate Bush ever ends up in this "hall of fame" is irrelevant. So what is *your* point anyway?

It’s hard to pick my favourite Kate song but this is up there, incredible stuff.

[@GarthPrice-ej6bt]

Because of Kate's indirect connection to David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, snarky comments on other videos say "It's who you know" vs "It's what you know". I can say, quite accurately, it is both. The 'who' is exemplified by Kate's hug with Hanna, her mother in this video. That, plus her influences by her musical father and her brothers, is all the 'who' she ever needed to succeed. Mr. Gilmour was only the most gracious catalyst to 'what' Kate can do. We are blessed to have Kate's genius amongst us.

Assuming that you do like "oddballs" and having noticed (by visiting your channel) that you also listen to some metal, I wonder if you might like the album "Contentum" by the Norwegian band Atrox. The vocal performance on that album reminds me of Kate Bush in her most experimental phase (thus "The Dreaming") mixed with a bit of Nina Hagen and some oriental influences. If you are curious, I'd suggest the song "Sultry Air" - one of my four favourite songs on that album.

[@martel248]

I have only started listening to Kate about 1 year ago. I never thought I would ever be so absolutely taken with anybody, and I love music, it's always been a big part of my life. Kate is beyond Artist, I see it in your eyes she is really a very good person she is so unbelievably humbled, shy, sweet, and whether she knows it or not I believe that she's a messenger of light just like so many other artists but for some reason she really gets to she literally cheers me up and it's odd because I have never met her but I've never met anybody like me and her lyrics even though so many years ago I know are empathetic nature because it's my own she made me feel less alone and I really wish I could get a chance to say thank you for at work for her did you see that for some reason because she deserves it. I couldn't believe I had never heard about her considering my mother had me listening to Floyd since I was 2 butt to be honest if I had really listened before last year I would have never really understood all of those elusive lyrics I Love suspended in gaffa because I'll never forget when I just got what the lyrics met . she's kind of like the David Lynch of music a lot of people aren't going to understand and it's not something that can be explained it's not about being on the inside or being you smarter it's about something that really people find because it's not spoken publicly about and really it's not common knowledge the only people who really know where the people who really really seek and most people don't even know there's something to search for..... what really gets me is she wrote those songs most of them be early as as young as twelve years old 13 that is truly unbelievable she really helps me and I'm sure so many others cuz there's not a lot of us we're kind of the recluse because people never see things the same way that we do always the black sheep most of us never knowing why. she's a messenger for all of us, Elton John put it perfectly when he said that she is the most beautiful mystery :-)

[@00snakeman00]

Oh my god I am the exact same! I started listening to her in December last year - got the dreaming album after knowing all the hits since I can remember and I remember listening to it on spotify as I was going to sleep and the demonic "EEEaaawww" noises on "get out of my house" woke me up absolutely terrified. I listened to the album over and over again the next day on the way to a job interview (which I aced woo) and it took me so long to digest the whole thing..from there it was nothing but love; she is one of those artists that take you away from your real life and creates magical worlds to feast your mind on. I want to thank her too, I dream of being a kate bush impersonation act one day now and you can tell that she doesn't realise just how amazing a human being she is

[@TheConfusedhero]

I discovered her in december 2 years ago (funny how everyone discovered her in december). It was late at night (I had a hard time handling my depression) when I heard Moving for the first time. It was so different from all the things I heard before. It was strange, it was mystic and so I tried to listen to every of her songs I could find. I also love her video clips and I was absolutely fascinated by Running up that hill and cloudbusting. I also started reading every book or poem that inspired her to write her songs. It's kind of an addiction and still feels like a theatrical journey when I enjoy her work. I am glad that everyone here seems to feel the same about this wonderful lady. And Sean Carter congrats that you got the job :-)

[@00snakeman00]

Haha I know that is weird eh?! Sad to hear about your depression, I know it's a struggle, one that's eased by the magic this lady has created!

Thanks for the congrats, I like to think kate is at least partially responsible :)

The cut, the lighting, the sand, the facial angle and confident expression with the blinking of the eye, and the slow zooming out, with that particular piece of the music, at 0:12 creates a very VERY epic portrait to me, and a feeling, and its interrupted quite soon which the choreography, but that particular moment I find to be very special.

Facing recent loss in my life, I can say that this is a powerful poetry. It flows down warmly like a nice cup of coffee - an empathy of understanding. In this life, this Samsara, we are all suspended in the duct tape - this stickiness and the binding of our beliefs, feelings, emotions. Thank you Ms. Bush for this!

[@reinaldolopes9616]

She brings out all my madness inside me and I feel relieved... Hugs from Brasil..

[@franckquenum697]

Her voice and a certain assumed eccentricity make her an exceptional artist. This song is one of my favourites.

[@donciotti3639]

My dad and his mates fancied her…pissed my mum off, now I’m in love…beautiful and so talented. Grew up on her music and I’ll always be in awe. Such a legend

[@jjgameing2014]

Imagine the poise with all of the effects over hours, what artistry from Kate Bush.

[@jodykyzer4484]

No. Kate Bush is not rock and roll. And not pop. She's in a whole other category. All her own.

[@razrv3lc]

This is one of my absolute favorite Kate songs. Favorite album for sure but this song is top 3 out of all of her songs for me easily.

[@hyacynthe7]

I grew up listening to Kate Bush as my parents were big fans. Her music is incredibly nostalgic for me. As a child I was enchanted and scared by her at the same time. Rediscovering her as an adult now and I’m speechless at her talent.

[@beathusk1018]

I discovered her at seven years old and I was scared too 😉

[@geoffolehane]

I turned my son onto Kate Bush when he was 8-9 and this is his favorite song by her.

[@philipharrigan1345]

I absolutely, unconditionally love Kate. Her music always takes me somewhere else - a place where "I can have it all," where I can dance a dream, where I don't dare swim in the waters of Lake Tahoe. I love you Kate...your music has fed my imagination for over forty years...from my 20s to my 60s you still move me and give me something timeless and beautiful. "L'amour looks something like you."

[@beathusk1018]

I love everything she did except Eat the Music

[@SW-fn7cl]

Yes!

[@WAJ-ns9nw]

Still one of my favourite Kate Bush songs, her work is so unique and beautiful.

[@SadKenRockBottom]

Wow that barn, man I could lay in that sand reading a book and just enjoying life, I WANT IT ALL including that barn.

Kate Bush is the artist for whom "colossal" is a grose underestimation.

[@samanthastephens1907]

My best friend and I used to drive around d in my car and sing this song at the top of our lungs. He loved Kate more than anything In the world. I love Kate more than anything in this world. I wish he were still here with us all.

This is one of those rare, intense times of my life when I become completely addicted to a song, I mean to the point of insanity. I came back to this video at least 15 times today. And each time at 3:24 my soul is restored, over and over

Kate bush: lots of goosebumps and a huge smile on my face

[@parkerhatcher224]

This song always makes me smile. I first heard it in 2009 (I was 19) when the band “Ra Ra Riot” did a cover. I remember my girlfriend at the time sending me a text saying something like “Ra Ra Riot didn’t write suspended in Gaffa! Here’s the original” and sent me a link. I remember thinking “Oh wow. This is like. Really strange” but don’t get too mad, I was a 19 year old punk rocker living in Winnipeg. I wasn’t ready! 3 years later, I found the album in a record store and did not hesitate to bring it home. So I could play it for my girlfriend. Same one who introduced me to Kate. That record changed my perspective and I fell absolutely in love with the music. And then the videos, and all live performances I could find online. Which isn’t many. But I understand why. I think. Anyways. That’s my experience. I’m a huge fan, I’m 32 now. I have every record. And I see this video differently now, in that I can actually appreciate it!

[@llamallama9637]

Same. Also love Ra Ra Riot!

[@michellanea_]

true! haven’t heard Ra Ra Riot since the cello player left, but the first albums were amazing for me and remind me of some good times in college☺️

[@parkerhatcher224]

@@michellanea_ Yes the first albums are treasures! I also stopped listening when the cellist left. That was such a huge part of their sound. Absolutely love those first two records ❤️ “Oh La” has such a gorgeous string arrangement. One of my favourites to this day 😄!

[@mattking5936]

Always been a Kate Bush fan but never really took notice of this track. It's one of my favourites now. So many layers and textures to it. Reminds me of sat in your lap a bit.

[@katyibur-spiritbalance8801]

Had this song stuck in my head as a Ra Ra Riot fan, and I just realized their version was a cover! Fun to discover the original!

I love this song!!! The Dreaming is my favorite Kate Bush album.

[@hollynoeljohnson5221]

Mine too !

[@JP-wt8jg]

In 1982 I was 11 Years old and my sister had this Album. I was fallen in love in Kate and in this song. At this time I started to learn english in the school, I understood nothing. Now I understand the lyrics. The lyric is so amazing beautiful and very difficult to translate in german. Kate is so sweet and intelligent. Viva Kate.

[@michaelbatey9710]

I'm surprised to discover that this had an official video, considering it wasn't released as a single in the UK or US. But I'm very happy it exists.

[@Orlok1970]

This is the first time I've seen it, never knew it existed!

[@swiminthesea6724]

I’m glad I just found this crazy little nugget by her because I had a mural to paint in my village in Suffolk this week, and I played this the whole time x her Aerial album has served me well in the past. Her freedom in creativity really has a string that wraps right round my heart and insides. Amazing what music and books can do for you

[@carolball5764]

Listen to Ran Tan Waltz , Kate is sporting a Beard . It’s absolutely brilliant , whilst quite sad..

[@Vienna7]

I used to dance around the house with my baby son in my arms to this song.

[@waglefar]

Heard this on the radio couple days ago, and I was like, what is this magic? Very unique style. Crazy, solid and mesmerizing. I know i'm late to the party, but I'm having a blast with this artist right now :)

[@GarthPrice-ej6bt]

@waglefar You are not alone, and amongst good company. BTW, which radio station took a risk on playing one of Kate's songs?

[@waglefar]

@@GarthPrice-ej6bt My local FM Radio. It's a madlad that runs it. They play everything from local music, gospel, metal, and evetything between. You never know what you are in for 😄

She's just like a enchanting pixie. Love this woman. Musical brilliance. Mime, dance..art! Pure MAGIC! And she's gorgeous to boot.

Yet again, Kate got snubbed from the R&R HoF, but she got her second #1... 44 years later!!

anyway, Love this song so much

[@bunnylarese2161]

They will continue to snub her, no way will they admit they are wrong. The voting members are made up of people with no qualifications.

[@TheWeremuscleForest]

Her popularity in the US has grown exponentially this year though. I think her chances of making the HOF for 2023 are pretty astounding.

kate bush 's theater visual songs were way before there time

[@GarthPrice-ej6bt]

Every detail from Kate using most of her soprano range - to the dynamic mix of dance steps - to her hugging her mum - to the vanishing at the end - just makes Kate a totally awesome entertainer and human being. Found Kate's brilliance later in my life. I'm just very glad I found her when I did.

[@poesie_paienne]

Gosh my journey in Kate Bush's discography has been amazing, she's such a wonderful artist, she has a unique bold and classy weirdness, which I really love. She's becoming one of my favourite artists !

Wait, that moment at 1:35 - is she mimicking Ian Anderson's flute playing? Awesome!
