Kate Bush - Cloudbusting - Official Music Video

Official music video for the single "Cloudbusting" written, produced and performed by the British singer Kate Bush. It was the second single released from her no.1 1985 album Hounds of Love. "Cloudbusting" peaked at no.20 in the UK Singles Chart.
The music video, directed by Julian Doyle, was conceived by Terry Gilliam and Kate Bush. The video features Canadian actor Donald Sutherland playing the role of Wilhelm Reich, and Bush playing the part of his young son, Peter.

[@brucehill2407]

I was privileged to have been the production designer on this video: My late father created the 'Cloudbuster' and I designed and had the laboratory built in a Wimbledon studio. Was great having Donald Sutherland on my set! Went on to do another film about Willhelm Riech a few years later called 'It Can Be Done' where I had to build yet another Cloudbuster, this one slightly more accurate though.

Chilling. The song is about Willhelm Reich, eccentric inventor of the "orgone accumulator" and the "cloudbuster" who was persecuted by the FBI in 1941 and died in custody. It's written from the point of view of his son Peter. Welcome ST fans, Kate is magic.

I opened it. There was no one there. I heard a voice saying hello and I looked down. Standing down there was a very small Kate Bush." "And I remember the first morning on set seeing her coming out of her trailer smoking a joint and I cautioned her, saying she shouldn’t smoke that, it’d affect her work, and she looked at me for a second and said she hadn’t been straight for nine years and I loved her."

This video was so important to me growing up, and I knew a little bit about W. Reich. There is a moment when Kate Bush reaches into his pocket and pulls out a book. I asked him what the book was. He said it was Peter Reich's book titled "A book of Dreams," and that Kate had given it to him as research for the part. He kept it everywhere he went during the shoot.

If you're new to Kate Bush and discovered her recently through TV shows, you should know this song and video is based on a true story. It's about the eccentric scientist Wilhelm Reich. He had a far too complicated life to go into here and he wasn't well man but he was harmless. He may have been bipolar or schizophrenic but he devoted his intellect to helping humanity as best he could. His orgone machine, depicted here, was his undoing. He ran afoul of the FDA, got into legal troubles, was arrested and ordered by a court to destroy this machines and burn his own books. No, really. I wish I was making that up. He died in prison of a heart attack a year later. Kate Bush got the idea for this song from the book written by his son, Peter, whom she plays in the video.

RIP Donald Sutherland. I always remember, amongst all of his work, that he did this brilliant video. 💔

[@StudioGhibliFan494]

Here because I found out that Donald Sutherland has sadly passed at the age of 88. I've always admired the work ethic of the Sutherland family & have long enjoyed Donald & Kiefer as actors. Donald clearly had talent beyond measure on the small & big screen & was very good at entertaining audiences whatever role he played. Rest in peace sir & thank you so very much for all the joy your talent has brought. Thoughts & condolences are with Donald Sutherland's family, friends, colleagues & everyone else who knew & loved him.

[@les9058]

He shared his gifts .. 🕊️😘

Donald's ex-wife, Kiefer's mother Shirley Douglas, was a brilliant actress as well. A sad day to hear of Donald's passing. RIP Donald Sutherland.

[@lepidoptera9337]

You can partly thank Kim Ryrie, Peter Vogel and Tony Furse, the developers of the Fairlight synthesizer for it. The "Kate Bush sound" in this recording has been largely created by the rather interesting but also quite limited voice quality of that early fully digital instrument as far as I know. The severe technical limitations also seem to have led to artistic choices on other recordings like "Running Up That Hill".

[@mararooney646]

I know exactly what you mean. I also have a few special songs where I lose my breath and my eyes fill with tears. May I ask how old you are currently Often it is the case that, for example, you have noticed an argument of the parents as a child and it has played exactly the song on the radio. As an adult person, you then have very emotional feelings when listening to the song and often no longer know why. I once talked to my sister about it and she told me about an unpleasant experience when we were toddlers. Then I understood why I always lose my breath with this particular song.

I may be one of those that seems bitter but the reason behind it, is that whatever song these "new fans" are currently lionizing and creaming themselves over that they saw on (insert the latest pop culture phenomenon movie/tv show/video game/TikTok) is that the artist (in this case, Kate Bush) typically has a discography of other hits & incredible deep cuts but these "new fans" don't even bother to check out their other stuff and then like a biblical locust infestation, are gone just as quickly as they waxed poetic about said song, in this case "Running Up That Hill". So yeah, I don't expect to see any comments from them on any of her other hits, let alone any underrated gems on Hounds of Love or Aerial.
