She's a sensual woman and her music show's that.

[@LambentOrt]

The trilogy of albums she made in the mid to late 80s (The Dreaming, Hounds Of Love, and The Sensual World) are absolute pop rock masterpieces. Each one unique yet bearing all her individual stamp of Kate-ness: abstract, defiant, empowering, emotional, theatrical, sensual and spiritual. She is completely original and brave, queer (in the true sense of the word), surreal, and always subversive and yet... never less than human. She is one of the greats.

[@TheDreamingJune]

Yes! I'd say Never For Ever deserves some praise as well. It was the start of Kate's ventures into production and has some killer songs from her. The 80s were a glorious period for Kate's artistic growth.

I agree. I've spent this morning searching the web to find out about the musicians playing on this track and if they composed their parts or if they were given to them by Kate. Turns out the Irish instruments were arranged by Bill Whelan and his Wiki entry doesn't even mention it in his discography.

[@saramilenkovska5981]

"Musically, one of the main hooks in the chorus of The Sensual World was inspired by a traditional Macedonian piece of music called 'Nevestinsko Oro' ('Bride's Dance'). A recording of this piece of music was sent to Kate by Jan Libbenga. As in the traditional version, the melody is played on uilleann pipes, in this case by Irish musician Davy Spillane."

The very definition of womanhood summed up in 3 minutes and 53 seconds. I had this poster in my room as a student. The girl I was with at the time asked me why and I told her: she taught me everything about women through listening to her songs. 30 years later, still married, children, still deliriously in love. All down to us and that moment, and Kate Bush, my muse. That is the power of this wonderful woman's music.

Well it was really James Joyce just as she did with Wuthering Heights getting inspired by something read or seen, but I agree with you. To this day I can still sing all the lyrics to this album without even thinking about it. She blew me away with this one....then The Red Shoes came out after this...wow...

[@twiff3rino28]

Wtf?

[@jacksmumma]

Kate Bush is my queen and has been since i was 14. I'm 57 now and this is my favourite song by her hand ❤

[@mistraldespair]

To anyone reading who might not be aware of what this song is about: Kate wrote this song from the perspective of Molly Bloom, the heroine of James Joyce's modernist novel Ulysses. Specifically, this song adapts parts of Molly Bloom's famous internal monologue in the novel's very last chapter. That's why it appears to have neither a beginning nor an end; it flows uninterrupted like stream of consciousness, punctuated only by her seductive chants of "mmm yes." Molly Bloom, in a post-coital daze after having just committed adultery, breathlessly reveals her sexual desires through her innermost thoughts. However, far from being ashamed of having slept with another man behind her husband's back, she proclaims her right to feel pleasure. She also blames her husband's inability to have intercourse for their sexually dysfunctional marriage. Her situation is especially frustrating to her because she does have love for her husband and fondly remembers the time when they could please each other. As she drifts off to sleep, her mind gets occupied with a vivid memory of the day he passionately kissed her on the Howth Head peninsula and lovingly called her a mountain flower. As they lay there making love to each other in the lap of nature, he proposed to her, and in an ecstatic moment of sexual and marital consent, she replied, "yes I will yes." This is the memory that Kate's song captures. It shows Molly Bloom literally stepping out of the pages of the book and sensing the physical (or "sensual") world as she sings about making love to her husband in the mountains, wishing for a world where such sensual pleasures were easier to experience.

[@coolinism]

Nice observation. And she does it without appealing.

[@jasoncollins1702]

I wouldn't underestimate Kate. The key to this song is what that desire arouses, which is unbridled lust; and Kate offers herself up as an object of someone else's desire. This song is a tribute to her utter genius in that respect.

@AB CD Good comment. I feel there's an overload today of shallow, literal things everywhere and we are overwhelmed by that on a daily basis. Many younger people might never have experienced the more subtle, poetic way to consider things. Hence they might be fed up with the former. Just a thought.

[@SheTheDee1971]

I think she is a genius. The way she uses the music and her vocals to project emotion, sensuality and the meaning behind the song. She doesn't just spew out the lyrics from the page....every word is thought about and from her soul. Nobody can touch her for innovation and artistry, and her writing is like beautiful poetry... just so, so intelligent. She makes all of the little pop tarts with their auto tune, arses hanging out and little else look like halfwits (which arguably, they are)....plus she does all of that with class and dignity, and without selling out just to chart. Love her.

[@danielsmithiv1279]

Nobody can touch her innovation and artistry? Lol Get the hell out. I don't care if this comment is 4 years old! It's infinite and its overhyped nonsense so its relevant enough for me to comment in 2019. You got Bjork and you got Willow. Mind you, Willow is 18 years old making FIRE music! Kate Bush is great but she's not the best. Don't get it twisted. P.S. Bjork has a voice made from the hand of God -- a melodious, otherworldly, and ethereal voice of unfathomable beauty and surreal mystery that even Satan himself envies her voice.

[@Justanotherandy63]

I'd agree if you were only refering to The Kick Inside and Lionheart. The former was, in my humble opinion, one of, if not, the debut albums of all time. It was genius, indeed. The way she used her voice to keep her narritive in the songs was so original and her hooks were amazing. I was a punk who loved a bit of heavy but I loved Kate's music at the same time. My new taste in music, symphonic rock was toitally inspired by her, especially my favourite band, Within Temptation - who do the absolute worst cover of a song - Going Up That Hill - in music histoty :). I think after Lionheart she lost her way and became just another singer. Her later work has nothing of those first two albums but not many singers or bands have two absolutely incredible albums before they rely on fans buying anything they produce...

[@mekonta]

I adore that warble she puts into her humming, it's as beautiful as hearing a blackbird or a nightingale on a summer's morning.

[@strangenessandcharms]

I like the fact that with the line "do i look for those millionaires like a Machiavellian girl would, when i could wear a sunset" she made a connection to her first song, Wuthering Heights, and the differences between the female main protagonists of Ulysses (Molly Bloom) and Wuthering Heights (Catherine Earnshaw). Catherine chose to marry Edgar Linton above Heathcliff in an opportunistic manner - something Molly would never have done, because all she lives for is sensuality.

[@commonpike]

I remember when this was. There were a lot of things going on in music, and Kate Bush was already old news. Don't get me wrong, it's brilliant, but MTV was hyping other stuff.

I always feel like Kate Bush is in her own league, and makes me feel like the whole pressure of fitting in just falls off my shoulders

[@CraigMansfield]

That sums her up really. She has always been in a league of her own. I like many things about her, but what usually struck me, was how over the decades she's never shown any sign of any ego. She was always a consummate artist who worked hard on her art. She never became arrogant. She was always if anything, really shy. I don't care what anybody says, I believe she's the most talented artist to have come out of the UK.

Poignancy

[@pookamcphellimy8540]

This is Kate connecting with her Irish roots (her mother was from Waterford in Ireland). Such a delight to see this gorgeous lady traipsing, dancing and singing through an ancient forest where fairies, leprechauns and elves dwell as the uileann pipes played by the great piper Davy Spillane ring out. Tolkien would have loved this. Simply sublime!

[@ponybottle]

Spillane's evocation of a musical erection via the pipes made me laugh out loud - sheer genius.

[@MalcolmKelly72]

Her mother was from New Ross, Wexford. Her dad was from Waterford. And of course this is a song about Molly Bloom from Ulysses - another Irish woman.

[@gerbear3227]

her mother was irish - her father english but yes her love for ireland and celtic culture rings true in a lot of her art....she even sang a song in gaelic - "mna na eireann - women of ireland "- a beautiful rendition!

[@gerbear3227]

@Mark Weaver that goes without saying - she is english after all :)

@Mark Weaver I stand corrected; her father was indeed British.

I’m 65 (the same as Kate) and I’ve never heard of Stranger Things. I “found” her about a month ago from a You Tube channel I subscribe to. I don’t know where I’ve been all these years. She is one of the greatest performance artists I’ve ever seen. I’m totally obsessed with her music and can’t stop listening to her. What a joy she is ! Thank you Kate.

Born in 1985, my first memories are from my mom dancing on Kate Bush in the living room. While my mother kept her old-time 'coming of age' memories tied to KBs first LPs, I have bought her albums since. Kate Bush has been my number one artist, source of inspiration and life energy. My friends and loved ones have always teased me with my "witch music" - honestly making me feel sorry and sad at once. When I was watching ST and Running up that Hill was played for the first time, my partner giggled as I instantly got up and started dancing across the room 🙆 I'm truly moved to see that her music and soul have been discovered once more.😍💞

[@jeffreywolfe1]

If artists are sensitive souls among us, then Kate Bush is the most sensitive artist I've ever encountered. And she's certainly the youngest "old soul" as well. What's even more incredible is that her music (and much of the great 80s artists, I think her accomplice Peter Gabriel, in particular) KEEPS GETTING BETTER OVER TIME. This music is now nearly 40 YEARS OLD. AND IT WAS INCREDIBLE BACK THEN!! This is true artistry and a God given gift to the world. God must have loved the 80s in a special way.

[@corrinaf6530]

I absolutely concur with your beautiful statement. She was the first music artist I was infatuated with as a child since the 70s.

Agree totally with Jay Paul. Never really appreciated Kate Bush until in my late 40's. Now, I'm completely captivated by her music. If there is such a thing as a modern day pop musical genius then Kate Bush has got to amongst the best contenders. Brilliant, just brilliant.

[@tamaraclaire1842]

I remember the first time I heard Kate Bush in 1978 at the time old age of 14. I was amazed by her talent. She still gives me goosebumps.

[@AidenPerera]

Might genuinely be the best song shes ever done. Holy shit

[@danbrockettDOP]

This song is an absolute masterpiece as is the video. The instrumentation is so otherworldly, Davy Spillane's performance on the Uillean Pipes is simply superb, reaches your deep into your soul, Kate's incredible vocal performance and the inspiration from Joyce's Ulysses just makes the song magical. Kate, you obsessed for years over not getting the rights to Molly Bloom's speech, yet the lyrics you wrote here are arguably more flowing and evocative. This is a better song than Flower of the Mountain. How many rock songs have smoothly used the word "Machiavellian"? I consider myself blessed to have grown up in the time you were alive and creating your wonderful music, this one is one of my all time favorite KB songs and it should be one of yours too, it gives me chills up and down my spine. Masterpiece.
