[@GarthPrice-ej6bt]

Other artists have covered Kate's music before - but they didn't own their version. They were just going through the motions of singing a song they didn't really feel. Ms Myers OWNED this. She put her heart and soul into using her vision to make this ROCK! Also have to thank her for helping me rediscover Kate. After 1985 she fell off the map - for me - for 34 years.

[@dougmccoll6126]

I have yet to see anything Meg does not own. I looks like she pours herself in, and then pours it all out so we can feel what she felt. Kinda beautiful, scary beautiful.

I did a double take and realized Megs version was not Kates. Im not trying to compare either versions they are both good. However, Megs voice has something magical and when I first hear her cover 😍 I was in love! She revamped and gave this song character and life. And to he honest, I thought it was her song originally I had no clue. Only because discovered this song playing on our local radio station I fell in love with Megs music. She is very talented 👏 😍 ❤

I found Meg Myers & Kate Bush through this song blowing up via Stranger Things. On YT, I came across so many artists who had done the cover, before the song blew up (again, it was an 80's hit). Most were okay, some were really good, but only one was truly otherworldly...to the point where, to me, it's even better than their original. The original is an unabashed example of musical genius as that was the first record & sound that Kate Bush created and produced herself as a *_teenager_* . But Meg's live performance that I saw, before this video came out post ST, immediately had me dive into Meg Myers music. I've been *_hooked_* ever since.

I have never heard of this artist before-but I’m a huge fan of the original. Honestly, I expected to be disappointed. I am blown away. The concept, execution, and new recorded version are all UNBELIEVABLE. So good.

To me this version IS so much more better than the original. Don't get me wrong, the original is amazing too but this one just reaches hights that lack from the original. Perhaps different era recording equipment have something to do with it but anyway.

[@kamy846]

@@ksaavedra_Immortalbelovedmusic No she didnt said that ;)

[@haydendutton6916]

I think everyone is forgetting Placebo’s cover of this song which is the version that received the most attention and brought the song to fame, at least for those of us who grew up in the second half of the 90’s to the early 2000’s. Placebo’s version has a melancholic darkness to it that has never lost its shine over the years. This version, whilst lighter, has a different style to it that remixes both the lighter aspects of Kate Bush’s original and some touches of the darker aspects of Placebo’s version, creating this kind of 80’s synth girl rock pop aesthetic that drives this version. I think Placebo and Meg Kelly’s versions are the best. Kate Bush’s original hasn’t aged as well as some might think whilst other covers have either not tried anything new or sound terrible. Placebo is good for the entire modern reworking of the song for a new generation whilst this version carries the spirit of Kate Bush with it but updates it considerably. Personally, I’d take this version as the Kate Bush original and Placebo’s as the cover, if you convert them through a modern mindset.

[@willardtk2979]

[@blissboxx]

my brother passed away from cancer last June, i always listen to this song and feel so guilty. i think about swapping places. i wonder if i'd have the guts to actually do it. he was the strongest person i've ever known. i'd like to think i would swap places with him any day, he was so happy, he had a daughter and a wife, he had so much more to live for.

[@rikusora138]

You would swap places because you love him so much,but his time was up and he had accomplished what he was set here to do and your journey still has things to be done. I can feel the pain in your comments but the love and happy memories of your brother will help soothe that pain in time.

I enjoyed it, people always say that a cover has to be remarkably different to the original but there isn't a written rule that it has to be. I love covers that remain true to the original whilst adding a little spice to alter the flavour ever so slightly and I love covers that throw out all the ingredients and start over fresh. I think this is a fantastic interpretation personally, it's her experience of the remarkable song and powerful lyrics with a contemporary contextualisation.
