This whole record is easily a 10.
Truly groundbreaking music and production.  
A beautiful set of songs from one of the greatest vocalists ever to walk this planet.

That's weird, I just went online to say I thought this was her worst song. . . . monotonous, random and grating.
Music is funny that way.

She and I could have babies now, provided she's willing.  Espcially since she's singing about one of my favorite ski areas ...

Recent rumors is that she'll release a new album this year...

One of the greatest compliments I ever received was that I resembled her in a pic {#Biggrin}

I grew up in Toronto listening to K B  on CFNY (The Spirit Of Radio, where we passed around petitions to help keep the radio station keep their broadcast license).  Well I digress, but I have always heard that Kate Bush could sing in more octaves than anyone on the planet.  Not being a musician of any sort, I would like to know if the rumour is a fact and not just a dream.  But darn it, she is good.

I don't expect everyone to embrace KB. But I really do admire her bold, unabashed originality as an artist.

Stevo, you are a cruel, cruel man. Funny, but cruel. 

Actually for some reason I'm more willing to put up with this kind of hyper-goofy thrashing around from Kate Bush than similar stuff from Torey Amos. Maybe it's nostalgia. Kate was way hotter too, probably still is.

Too bad you can't see how inspired this song is. Oh, and generalizations such as yours (any song that repeats, etc...) are lame.

I agree.
I am a real fan of Kate Bush but...........
not this song
try "Cloudbusting" instead which is pure genious
this sounds like they are just practicing or warming up.   it's repetitive and pointless........

My arms are weaving up and down, swaying all around as I imagine looking up at The Big Sky. Did K.B. do drugs to get inspired? Just being silly. I love Kate's music and voice. Know she isn't for everyone and this isn't her best song, but hey folks this was a song from the 80's.

Such a fab tune, marred by that dumb background vocal after the line about "looks like Ireland". Really, Kate? Diddly-da, diddly-da, diddly-da? Really?
