SO ARTISTIC!| FIRST TIME HEARING Kate Bush - Babooshka REACTION -

You’re missing out, Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush - “Don’t Give Up”. And you have to watch the video. It was everything.

The song is about a woman 'testing' her husband by sending him love letters using the name Babooshka. The mirror shattering at the end is her revealing herself.

Just a note - She writes all the songs, plays the keys, arranges, produces, and is heavily involved in her stage and video productions. Her songs are often about unusual topics, interesting stories or little pieces of poetry. She really is a fantastically talented person beyond the typical pop singer.

One fact that blows my mind is that she was the first ever singer to use a wireless headset microphone. Her stage engineer designed it out of a wire coat hanger for Kate as she was so determined to dance freely while she sang during her tour in 79. Britney has a lot to thank them for!

Her debut single "wuthering heights" is arguably the best debut single ever 😁

Appreciate you guys for giving Kate Bush another chance🔥 Written by Kate herself, "Babooshka" (1980; the word in English is translated to "grandma") is a story about a woman who "tests" her husband by writing anonymous, perfume-scented love letters. After seeing him enthused by these parcels, the wife continues the ruse by arranging a meeting with her hubby in disguise. Throughout this situation, husband (not knowing that it is his wife) is reminded of his significant other when she was young and passionate. Kate is a musical genius/artist through and through: singer-songwriter, dancer, mime, pianist, actress, produced, musical arranger, etc. I think it is long overdue for you both to listen/watch the song/music video "Don't Give Up" (1986). This is off of Peter Gabriel's iconic 1986 album "So." "Don't Give Up" is a duet between Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush that is, without giving too much away, a powerful and uplifting song that everyone can relate to, especially in these hard and uncertain times. Elton John was noted to say that he listened to this song religiously to help him conquer his addictions. I myself listen to this track whenever I am down and going through rough patches in my life. I know you both will love this collaboration between these two iconic and legendary artists of Art/Progressive Pop/Rock

Kate was a child prodigy , she comes from another planet I’m sure of it ! She’s so talented it’s abnormal.

No lie, this afternoon my family and I went clothes shopping for our grandkids. Kate Bush’s RUNNING UP THAT HILL came on the store’s in-house music system and an 8 yo boy next to me started singing it. Patience pays. Kate’s winning the long game.

I like the idea of Kate’s world being an “art museum”, because that’s exactly true. She has what’s called “auteur” control over her vision, movement, and sound. She’s a total artist whose complete vision is unmistakable. Similarly, David Bowie and Bjork are considered auteurs in the music world.

The wife in the story is the one sending the letters. The first lines of the song explained this "She wanted to test her husband, She knew exactly what to do, A pseudonym, To fool him, She couldn't have made a worst move."

Rob would LOVE the solo piano version of “the man with the child in his eyes.”

This is one of my favorite Kate Bush songs. The thing to remember about Wuthering Heights is that it's about a piece of classic English literature. That may seem presumptuous to the American audience, but to the Brits, its much more of a piece of pop culture - everyone knows it. If you're not familiar with the story, maybe check it out before your next listen. The book is quite a read. There are many film adaptations from 1920 to 2011. Or there must be a synopsis on Youtube somewhere. Basically, it's a Gothic ghost story. The ethereal voice fits much better when you know that.

Rob: "I feel like Kate Bush is more than an artist..." THANK YOU! You get her now. I left the channel because I didn't think you gave Bush enough credit, but you redeemed yourself! Thank you.

Kate Bush saved My Life as a teenager the first time I heard her sing I fell in love with her voice whenever I was at my lowest I would just lay there and listen to her sing and it would make me feel better I think she has the voice of an Angel

Jay & Amber, you'll love her on "Don't Give Up" (a duet with Peter Gabriel)!

Happy Birthday from Scotland 😍This woman could sing a phone book and cause interest.

One of my favorite artists! I am so thrilled for this resurgence of her music. She really deserves to be known and remembered by future generations. Thank you for this!

The man with child in his eyes….epic

A national treasure - no ego, no record company bullshit - just a multi talented musician & dancer with the added bonus of being as fit as Butcher's Dog. The thought of Kate's bottom lip got this puppy through his 'difficult' adolescence. Give the track 'Hammer Horror' a spin - I promise you will not regret it.

You must do Kates ....Army Dreamers also Breathing and The man WithThe Child In His Eyes oh and one more Jig Of Life.
