iantjambo Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Can't say I've ever really been a fan to be honest but 'Wuthering Heights' is a true classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bilel Mohsni Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Some voice though, eh? Operatic standard. Also, did she not write Wuthering Heights at something ridiculous like sixteen years old? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Currahee! Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Wuthering Heights takes me back to when I was a toddler. Classic song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Wuthering Heights takes me back to when I was a toddler. Classic song. Kate Bush shares a birthday with Emily Bronte ( 30th July ) the author of Wuthering Heights and it is said to have led her to the author and so the song. I learned that piece of information at a play in the Fringe called Cutting off Kate Bush for anyone interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey1874 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Good heads up as I'll be in. Not my favourite and it was my era but certainly very talented. Classic songs. So different from mainstream. Not sure about the comeback. But if she wants to do it and she's ready it should be good. Wish her well and well done to those buying tickets.

Coco Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 Running Up That Hill is a classic 80s production sort of a song. Brilliant. Really like her nineties/noughties albums - and am also gutted I don't have a ticket for the gigs. Going for up to a grand on the ticket rebuy sites.

It was also used as the theme tune for an 80's CBBC series 'Running Scared'. Really takes me back. It had Burnside from the bill in it and used to scare the crap out of me.

Buffalo Bill Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I think she's magnificent. Watched the BBC3 documentary last night. As someone said, Wuthering Heights reminds me of being a (very young) kid, watching this strange woman on TV.

clanmac Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Fantastic all round performer , liked her from day one after my brother came home with Wuthering Heights. She was my guilty secret for years through the late 70's when I had her posters stuck onto the back of my Punk concert posters so my mates wouldn't take the piss. Totally gutted not to get a chance to see her this time around. Got a funny feeling this would have been my one and only chance.Ah well these are the breaks.

Really enjoyed the BBC programme and then the BBC performances on Friday Very impressed. Altogether some great material Never really a fan as it happened but quite impressed by her and her songs. Spoke really well and clearly very focussed and hard working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigladatthebackpost Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 She's evidently pretty divisive, but I love her. Unique and unbending to trend, with a captivating voice and poetic lyrics. But I would say that, because I love her. Did I mention that I love her? And have tickets to see her in London? I LOVE HER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ortarkod Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 So what's 'Running Up That Hill' about then? The verses sound like it's about some bursd wanting to switch bodies with her boyfriend so she knows what it feels like and vice versa, but then you get to the chorus and she's running up trees and buildings and shit.

Maroonblood22 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) Weirdly fascinating watching that Wuthering Heights video, she seems like a bizarre individual but I don't think anyone can argue that she had / has a unique voice, just might not be to folks tastes. Love Running Up That Hill though, the Placebo cover from a few years back was cracking as well! 'Mon the Bush!
