REACTION TO Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights FIRST TIME HEARING!

[@smedleybutler1969]

My favorite is the red version ! There are thousands of people in 50 or 60 countries performing this song all over the world every year on Kate Bush day!

[@jedislap8726]

Due to her use of interpretive dance she became the 1st musical artist to use a wireless microphone headset ( as you see here ) that was made out of coat hangers.

[@neilvickers2465]

Aahh Kate Bush😊. I had her poster on my wall in 1978😊. Kate was born in 1958, so was a year older than me when this song came out😊. Think I heard she was discovered by David Gilmore from Pink Floyd🤔.

[@ER_59]

"This woman's work" is a stunning song!

[@mattking5936]

This was the last song at the end of a 2 hour concert sang live. Incredible performance

[@Shadowace724]

Previous commenters have said it all, she is an amazing artist. Please keep checking her out. Running Up That Hill was life changing for me when I heard it back in 1985.

[@AnthonyKellett]

'This Woman's Work'... Great song and great official video. That said, she's got a phenomenal body of work.

[@CraigDuncan-o6j]

A great classic song about a GHOST coming back to see her lover, written, performed and choreographed and directed by the then 19 Year old ''Kate Bush''; And a nice CLASSY, UNDERSTATED AND SUBLIME REACTION BY Emma, Thank You Emma for showcasing this wonderful song; Suggestion, ''Running Up That Hill'', although I note that many great suggestions have been made; 👍🙏🙌💃💃💃💃🎶🎵🎶🎧🎙🍁🍁👏💃💃💃💃🙏;

[@craighornfischer2767]

i lovve your reaction and knowledge emma

[@jeanlongsden1696]

"Running Up That Hill" is my favourite Kate Bush song.

[@dagfincarp1113]

"Love And Anger" always on my playlists

[@bgfd1]

Kate Bush the beautiful genius.

[@DavidAston-bn9bz]

People often struggle to get to grips with Kate Bush with this song, genius as it is. She was a real prodigy and you must check out "The Man with the Child in his Eyes" which is a stunning piano and strings piece written by her at just 13 and recorded at 16 which was the follow up hit to this in the UK. She went on to become one of the most important women in UK music history and there is a rich and varied catalogue to check out.

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

Emma, this is a great reaction to this great artist and song. In this Kate is singing higher than usual to fit the story behind the song, "Wuthering Heights" is a book by 'Emily Brontë' here, Kate is playing the part of the spirit of Catherine (Cathy) Earnshaw who has died, she is haunting Heathcliff who she loved. I suggest you check out some other songs of Kate's, such as: "Babooshka", "Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)", "Wow", "The Man With the Child in His Eyes", "The Sensual World", "Cloudbusting", "This Woman's Work", "Don't Give Up" a duet with Peter Gabriel. There are many more but these are good ones to continue with.

[@jeanpaul-pierrot]

now you're in! it will be impossible to get out : "running up that hill, babooshka, this woman works, army dreamers, moving, cloudbusting, sensual world, night of the swallow ....." and so much more it's magical to see someone hearing for the first time to kate bush... (for me it was in 1978)

[@orraman5427]

For another side of Kate Bush's work have a listen to "Don't Give Up" which she sang with Peter Gabriel.

[@tancredtankard2940]

welcome to Kate's world... react to Babooshka, Army Dreamers, Deal with God, This Woman's Work, Don't Give Up. but privately listen to the Albums "Kick Inside, "Never Forever '', "Hounds of Love" and "the red shoes" ... Love all Kate's work but these are continuously on my playlist

[@SoshiMECH]

Her duet with Peter Gabriel "Don't Give Up" is incredible.

[@michaelmichael1001]

Kate Bush is, for me, one of the greatest musical artists of the last 50 years. She had a 35-year period where she didn't give concerts because she suffered from stage fright. She overcame it and in 2014 she gave 22 concerts in London. All concerts were completely sold out in 15 minutes.

[@colrhodes377]

You must hear " This woman's work!"

[@onlymeian58]

I was at all 3 of these Hammersmith Odeon gigs. (Edinburgh & Paris too) Still gives me goosebumps.. especially those last few minutes when she's going nuts, waving to the audience. She was stillvin awe & kinda 7:12 amazed by the response she was getting from the fans as it was her first, and only tour. I got to meet her a few times on this tour. She really was a lovely lady. 💖

[@glebivanov6323]

Kate Bush is one of the most creative and unique artists over the last hundred years at least. Not just singer but artist considering she's also the composer, arranger, lyricist, choreographer, dancer, pianist and in many cases her own producer. Kate is in the same league as David Bowie and Peter Gabriel. All Kate's works are creative and unlike anyone before her (but a bit like many after her, 'cause many musicians acclaim her influence). Not each and every of her songs would be pleasant to any ear (some of her music is VERY avantgarde). But even though she has dozens of yet avantgarde but beautiful songs. And yeah, the high pitch in this song was intentional, the main character of this song is a ghost, it could be even banshee. Kate can sing in a way different registers and manners. It all depends on the song's objectives.

[@arnodobler1096]

Kate Bush "Babboshka" "Running up that hill", she tells stories: with her lyrics, her music, her dance, performing, expression, her body, ...

[@karl385]

Hey Emma, I love your channel. An excellent one to check out is 'Don't give up' which is performed by Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush - two great singers at the top of their game. My personal favourite is 'Running up that Hill' - I could never get tired of hearing that one. Take care.

[@rainerkreimeyer]

Kate Bush's sponsor was none other than David Gilmour from Pink Floyd. Kate began writing her own songs at an early age, setting a record in the UK charts. She is the first woman to reach number one in Great Britain with an original composition.

[@davidparkerguitar]

This is a great song that I love a lot, but I'm sorry that it's the first experience of Kate for so many people. Night of the Swallow, The Dreaming, Rocket's Tail, This Woman's Work, Never Be Mine, and her great collab with Peter Gabriel, Don't Give Up, are all really beautiful and her voice is a little more conventional (but not ordinary!) in these.

[@doncuadrado8489]

1978 in case anyone needed reminding. A unique voice. Top talent..

[@terrylewis_]

Kate Bush is my ultimate :)

[@holgersurray]

With that song Kate Bush was the first female artist with a self-written song to reach the no 1 position auf the British charts - at the age of 19.

[@Singwith-Emmatoday]

Oh WOW!!! It's really impressive!!

[@Nicholas_Burmeister]

I'm not sure how big of a reader you are, but this song is inspired by the book Wuthering Heights, by Emily Brontë, an English writer who wrote this vital novel in 1847. Its hard to understate the influence this novel had on the entirety of western civilization. It speaks of the will of a woman trapped by the necessity of formal marriage to a dull but good man, with the desire for freedom in the form of her deeper and authentic primal love for Heathcliff, a man 'below her station'. The book is filled with haunting longing and a sense that the world is unjust and blind to what people need. This song captures that heavenly struggle of the spirit.

[@daveofyorkshire301]

A remarkable woman, choreography, song writing and all from such an early age... and they go on about glass ceilings...

[@user-tb8sy5bz7m]

Kate Bush is always magical

[@jarvisa12345]

In the novel ‘Wuthering Heights’, Catherine Earnshaw appears as a ghost in Mr. Lockwood's nightmare. Kate sings in a high register to create an ethereal effect. kzbin.infoV-MHm8p8BPg

[@senacht]

She’s singing as the ghost of Kathy, from the novel Wuthering Heights. She’s returned to speak to Heathcliff, the man who basically rejected her in life. Hence her eerie choice of voice for this role.

[@craigmclean8193]

Signed by EMI at age 16 with help from David Gilmour, released her first album by 19. This song was from her first tour, which she embarked on at age 20. She was heavily involved in every aspect of the tour, from choreography, set design, musician lineup, arrangement and costume design (I believe there were 17 costume changes). To top it off, the wireless headphone mic, which quickly became commonplace, was invented for this tour to give her the freedom of her expressive dance. The performance was groundbreaking in so many ways. By age 22, she was not only writing, singing, arranging her songs, she began producing it as well. Not everyone loves her voice. She often sang in a high register head voice on her early albums, but heightens it even more for this song as she is portraying a ghost. Her voice matured by her mid twenties into effortless near 4 octave range. Check out songs from the Hounds of Love, Sensual World and Ariel albums for some of her most beautiful vocals.

[@MarcVanLaere-zr5im]

This is one of the persons i would pay to see .❤👍

[@Womberto]

She's a real genius. The album Hounds of Love is probably the best album ever made by a solo female artist.

[@Metzwerg74]

She is a class of it´s own... i can´t see anyone other really doing that...

[@rhphotocdn]

Kate Bush is AMAZING!! Always loved her voice. She has also made a comeback of late because of the Netflix series "Stranger Things" where her music was featured. (Yes "Running Up That Hill" huge hit!)

[@76marex]

that is the very first headset she's wearing and it was her idea

[@martinmorris5997]

Exactly, and what I was going to say. It was made from an old wire coat hanger, and now from that time in the late 1970’s has become standard.

[@BarryOstle-o8z]

hi emma great reaction love this song yes that is her voice check out "the man with the child in his eyes" .😘😘

[@andersgranstrom7128]

Oh, so many great songs by this amazing woman!! This version does not display her greatness fully!! Please check out more, all the amazing suggestions here in the comments! You will love! 😍😍😍

[@realityfuze42]

Written when she was 18, released when she was 19 - writing, producing, choreographing, and performing it all at that age. I do not always like here music, but ALWAYS respect her artistry (same as how I feel about artists like Bowie, Neil Young, etc.)

[@isobeljames1328]

#FightAlernativeTruth Wuthering heights = music and lyrics by Kate Bush Produced by Andrew Powell = his creation....

[@santander57]

As we’all can see, Kate was is a trained ballet dancer and always works in dance. Expressive movement has always been part of her art.

Babooshka is my alltime favorite song of Kate Bush...

[@pepscreaplay804]

Other hit of Kate "Running Up that Hill" is just amazing too !

[@michaelhahn6955]

282 / 5.000 As someone who has all of Kate Bush's LPs and CDs, this song still sends a chill down my spine. Not only can she sing extremely well live, her videos are also real works of art. Highly recommended, but unfortunately completely forgotten by the younger generation.

[@c.w.miller3024]

OMG you finally found the great Kate Bush. You could try "This Woman's Work", "Running Up That Hill" or, one of my favorites, "Deeper Understanding"

[@Singwith-Emmatoday]

I'll check it out!

[@qthelost]

I'd love to see you react to her duet with Peter Gabriel "Don't Give Up" the official video.

[@keymaker-k7h]

purposely sung in a higher key than kate would normally sing as she adding a ghostly feel to it as she singing as a ghost....kathy's ghost- wuthering heights....kate bush is a genius, this song is genius.. late 1970's when disco was giving way punk kate was making her own lane , releasing this album....no one else was doing this...a creative, vocal lyrical genius....

[@robertjewell9727]

Kate is pure genius, pure being the key word here. Cathy in the lyrics of the song is a ghost begging at her lover's window to come in during a snow storm. For a next song try GET OUT OF MY HOUSE, THE BIG SKY or CLOUDBUSTING.

[@dann2274]

hi Emma you are an opera singer ,tchec this one your mind will blown away , the groupe is queensryche and the song is Take Hold of the Flame [Queensrÿche - Live in Tokyo 1984/08/05]

I can't say I'm a fan of Kate Bush, I prefer some of her other songs like running up that hill. Even this song I think I've heard better versions. The thing that's more impressive is how creative and out there she was. She struck me as performance artist who could sing. Most don't jump in and love her at first listen.

[@jerrydial5984]

Thanks for the video Emma, awesome! One of my top artist and top female artists of all time. I hope this version doesn't dissuade you from trying more songs, the sound, mix, or whatever is pretty bad. In my opinion she is amazing, this video doesn't do her justice. People are recommending other songs so I'll try to not do that but wanna say that, from what I understand, she wrote "Man With A Child In His Eyes" when she was only 13. Not my favorite song but it's a pretty song. I love Hounds Of Love and The Dreaming, that's when she took over as producer with no cooperate execs making musical decisions (a pet peeve of mine). Her duet w/Peter Gabriel is also beautiful, makes me tear up every time. I'll shut up, didn't mean to ramble! Thanks for the video and thanks for being awesome!

[@iandavies8061]

Check out 'The Man With the Child in his Eyes'....

[@davidgore3261]

This video was the encore of a live show as you can tell and she somewhat played down the vocal, in my opinion it does neither the song or Kate justice. The original recording or official video needs to be listened to to fully appreciate her voice and beauty of the song writing. The high pitch was utilised to give a ghostly affect as she is playing the part of Cathy in the Wuthering Heights novel the song is based on at the point Cathy returns to haunt her lover Heathcliffe

[@anth5189]

Babooshka. Running up that hill.

[@mudshark5393]

If you want something different from Kate, try something from "The Dreaming", my favorite Kate Bush album, it never gets old. Try "Suspended in Gaffa" or "Pull Out The Pin" for starters, they are not too different. For something more extreme try "Leave it open" or "Get out of my house" (awesome tracks both of them).

When you get a chance, you'll want to watch the official video (version 1) of this so you can see the story along with all of her production and choreography. These live versions are good, but you lose much of the artistic value of the entire performance. I mostly like live performance for reactions, but there are some that almost require the official videos so you can see the artistic aspect of the performance

[@warrenburroughs3025]

Why did you play a live version? Don't get me wrong, it was great, but for your first time reacting to an artist/song you should listen to the studio version. Then you can check out the live version later when you have something to compare it to.
