This is one of those songs that tastes better at dusk and not so much in daylight.

Did I say she has a range of 4 Octaves !

"The Kick Inside" has some great stuff on it, but her voice has really filled out since then. I like the later versions of the material from that album better for that reason.

Wondering how Bjork's Big Time Sensuality would follow this?

The character in the song is Molly Bloom, from James Joyces' Ullysses, so if you know her soliloquy at the end of the book, the use of Molly's "yes" is um... yeah, "promising"!

Like a warm wet tongue slowing rotating in my ear.......MMMMMMMM......YEsssssss

Some of her work is now a bit dated but some of her classics belong here.

She works for you… or she doesn't. This song has lost a bit of the specialness it had the first 50 times I listened to it, but, as Queen Lucia noted, the opening bells still push the hand over to turn up the volume just a little…

Ahh finally its over, I can turn the volume back on!

Hope to hear Kate's new single "Wild Man" on RP! The only place I hear regular air play of Kate's music.

I hear those bells at the beginning and I'm instantly happy.

My God, I feel old!  I remember first seeing her on Saturday Night Live in the late '70s (when Eric Idle of Monty Python introduced her) and she couldn't have been any more than 18 years old at the time.  Sitting on top of the piano and I think she sang "Those Heavy People" and "Man with the Child in His Eyes".  I agree with some others here that "The Kick Inside" is one of her best albums.

melting quietly here...

ethereal is the word that comes to mind when listening to this....very nice.   Kate is taking me on a magical mystery tour

Never has the word "yes"sounded so decadent and so promising.  I love this.  Kate Bush is my Gaia, and I bet if I played her music in my garden, every single plant would leap joyously out of the ground with full blooms and fruit because of that voice.

Recent story involving this song.

Mmmmmm yesssssssss. I think I said this earlier but...I'll have what she's having.

I can't understand ,why there is nothing here to find from "The kick Inside" . I think , this is the best Kate Bush Album ever.

I had a really long post written about how Kate Bush must be my muse (it had to do with the snow plows finally plowing our humble street, but there were so many vehicles parked in front of their houses that it really didn't do much good except for burying those parked vehicles in the snow funneled from the middle of the street) because I was motivated to go move my vehicle, to no avail - the damage was done and the plows never came back.

So - I came back indoors, after having been spurred to action by this song. Okay, I accomplished nothing that anyone will ever actually see.  But I did accomplish something - something more visceral and deep.  I went forth in anger, and I came back in peace. And I didn't kill anyone, send a nastygram, or throw a rock. And I'm sitting here now, smiling benignly, and the world turns, and life goes on.

Kate Bush's music does that to me. (Why can't it just motivate me to take a long, hot bubble-bath?!)

10+++

Love, love, love.

Heh! I was thinking the same! Never really thought of the Bouzoki as a sensual instrument tho...
