- Official music video for the single "Rubberband Girl" written by British singer Kate Bush.
"Rubberband Girl" was the first of four singles to be released from Kate's album The Red Shoes. The song was released on 6 September 1993 and peaked at number 12 in the UK Singles Chart.
Thank you, Kate, for teaching this lonely 80s teenage girl that being different was actually great.
Same ! I’m with you there. Such a wonderful artist ❤
i had heard of kate bush before but never listened to her music however, seeing her trending recently led me to finally listen to her and all i can say it has been the best week of my life, i am in literal awe !! i can’t explain it but her music and artistry has given me so much happiness ! part of me wishes i’d discovered her sooner but i’m so glad that i have now !
same with me, i adore this album and also hounds of love and the kick inside
me too! she's awesome
I am so happy for you on your Kate Bush discovery. Her album The Dreaming is excellent. Aerial released in 2005 was excellent and saw her return 12 years after the album Red Shoes from which this was released.
Congratulations!! I envy you your new discovery. Been a fan since 87 or 88. I always find new things I never noticed in her music. But I dearly wish I could go back to the first time I ever heard “The Dreaming” album. Never had an album gobsmack me like that one.
Me too. The I did listen to a few songs a few times. I never started to binge her until like a week ago.
I'm 57 now and i am still listening this song, this was a hit in 1993
Kate Bush keeps me young
Bro is NOT young😭🙏
Kate Bush might be the most legendary woman in music
Without doubt!
It's been about 6 hours and I'm still on my first ever KATE BUSH binge!!
I've met her songs this week! I'm in love, addicted. She's just incredible
My turn! I have no idea how I’ve missed this amazing, brilliant, incredible talent.
Welcome to the club. Everytime I click on one of her videos, I know I'll be on a Kate Bush binge!
thepretenda two years later and i hope you are still on that binge
How long did it last?
I love how she just matter of factly rolls up her sleeves and then a second later goes into that incredible dance
This is the first comment on this video in 3 years, so I know no one will see it. However, Kate Bush is a Goddess who should be worshipped! As a singer, writer, producer, dancer, etc., name someone in the last 30 years that was as innovative and creative as Kate. Beyonce? No disrespect to her, but Kate Bush did all it without AutoTune.
Ha! Peek a boo! 👻
I see you! 👀
My favourite kate song. Her dad was our family doctor years ago
Her Dad was your doctor and I'm the first that's replied?? What? :)) Also love this song. xx
@@beverlymontgomery6235 not mine before I was born my nan used to talk about him to my mum my dad's family lived in Plumstead at the time
She's bloody amazing. Kate if you ever read this - I truly adore you. Everyone does.
I've adored her since I first heard her in the early 80s. Nobody comes close to her originality.
Hey, speak for yourself mate!!! Actually, yeah, you're right :)
aquablushgirl I don't think she does read this. But I have :)
she is simple unique I love everything she does a true artist ! with such integrity
That's true
this woman is one of the best songwriters and performers of the era.
*of any era.
I agree
No, THE best. Hands down.
@@badshotbill5001 też tak uważam, jest najlepsza!
Kate's music is timeless
On all of her videos she has 100% positive comments & rightly so. Shes amazing unique beautiful & has wonderfully faithful fans ❤️
Brilliant singer and song writer
That choreography is incredible..two people flowing in perfect unison, they look like one. I can’t begin to imagine how much practise must have gone into perfecting that.
Totally agree! The dancing and yoyo: the dancing at the start... you can see Kate is totally focussed on the art, not looking and smiling at the camera. Such a change from modern music videos
Not that much
You could do it if you tried
Don't idolize them. It's 80s music cheezy as fuck I'm sure you could do better
@@craigwoudstra2096 are you ok?
welcome to all the new kate fans, you've just entered a very special world :)
Yup!!!
3:38 onward is just pure insanity. She’s on another level for sure.
I'm in the US and we didn't really embrace Kate Bush. I only had her first four albums and I am on a real binge. she's incredible! She's a songwriter, singer, actress, dancer and a genius. She's GREAT.
Sie spricht echt gut deutsch
Speak for yourself. She may not have been top 40, but plenty of Gen X’ers loved her and then “The Red Shoes” cake out, it was in every music store. This video was on rotation on MTV. I can’t remember what they called it, but they had a few hours of “alternative/grunge” music and Kate Bush was always on, as was Bjork.
she refuse to get on an airplane...so she didn't travel...did see her a lot on MTV a lot here in Canada
@@davidgollop2807 Not true. She made at least 3 trips to the U.S. and visited Canada to promote Hounds of Love. She appeared on Saturday Night Live in 1978 and was back in America and did record promotions for H.O.L at Tower Records in New York City on two occasions. She also flew back and met with record company officials in California in the late 80's. She did not do well commercially in the U.S. because she never toured and her record company failed to properly promote her and market her albums. Plans were in the works early in her career to tour the States, but the record company (EMI) pulled the plug because they thought it was too costly. And by that time, Kate preferred to be a studio artist and was not that interested in live performance after her European Tour of Life.
Lagos, Stammvater der Ptolemäer Das habe ich nicht gewusst! Haben Sie Beispiele davon? Ich mochte das gerne horen!
I'm 50 now and still love her, actually since I was a boy.
Me too 😉
@@stevielambert8262 me too
😍
Even as a long time fan of Kate's I sometimes forget that in addition to being a great singer and song writer, she is a fabulous dancer too!
Plus her quirky sense of humor really comes through in her videos. She's a little crazy, very cool, and super talented, and I love her!
And I love her too, fell in love with her in my teens and at 48 that love is still there, she is amazing
J'étais au service militaire quand j'ai entendu une des premières compositions de Kate bush.. Coup de foudre et depuis je reste un fan ❤️
And a bit batty. And I love her too.
I think that's why we love it so much
For all of you people that have taken Running Up That Hill to your hearts in 2022, give this one a listen. You won’t be disappointed.
This woman is just so fabulous and so talented! How could we have underappreciated her so much here in the US? I'm blown away. ❤
Kate's music didn't get airplay in the US. I can't remember ever hearing her music on the radio. I remember seeing videos on MTV, but not that often. I feel in love with her after seeing her on the Kenny Everett Video Show, performing WOW! back in the 70's. That is how I got into her music. Guess I am just lucky.
i grew up with her music cus my parents had her CDs, wouldn' t have known about her otherwise
Yh I think only a few albums did well in the US
It was a mixed bag in the US. The Love and Anger video got pretty heavy rotation, and made me into what, at that time, was a late Kate adopter. But the local record shop had all her albums on CD, and I bought almost all of them in short order. Kate was the first artist I bought entirely on CD I think.
In an era when viral blowouts are the expectation, it’s easy to look back and think her exposure in the US constituted obscurity. But remember the twin dynamic of the pre-internet era: massive exposure was harder, due to a handful of gatekeepers, but a number of small radio DJs still had some leeway in their programming choices. And albums were sold not streamed; I don’t think the royalties were princely, but they existed more than they do in a post-Napster world. Kate’s era was one where massive overnight fame was rarer, but musicians had a shot at living off moderate success.
How many of todays artists could come up with a song about a Rubberband, make it catchy, sound good, write and produce, put in brilliant choreographed video. None, there will never be another like her
Kept on hearing this song in my dreams and I was seriously freaked out when I found out it was real. My mom told me she listened to this song when I was a baby. That was 25 years ago. It’s amazing how I can’t remember anything from the past five years but this song I may have heard when I was a new born is sitting in the back of my mind.
That is so awesome. Kate Bush is great music for kids, and indeed anyone of any age. I feel sorry for kids of today seeing all this crap autotune music with the singers dry-humping and gyrating. I ain't no prude but there's a time and a place.
That's so cool 😀
That is amazing. This song is quite haunting
i remember first music i heard too. it's kind of cool to know what music we heard very early in this life. i heard Louis Armstrong, Aerosmith, Celine Dion
It's a deep sense you have more musical sensibility and possible talent than you think. I had memories from falling asleep with captain of her heart by double in the 80s, we remember what is strongest to us so just replace memories you forget or don't want to remember with these in life. You will be better from it, I promise
I love how she's always a Dancer..I've been a fan since the late 70s ❤
Best British female artist ever.....period...nuff said
By far
Most def
sy 1975 Not many younger stars had Brit legend Dusty Springfield singing one of their songs. That's how good Kate was.
Will also put in a joint vote for Amy Winehouse on that one
And Christine ‘Perfect’ McVie too, none of these three have aged..but long live KB
As fresh and original today as it was when she first recorded it. Timeless.
omg thank you stranger things i found kate bush and i love her !!!!! so 80s
This was mid 90's
@@kaynesavage5177 1993 was still part of the early 90s, mid 90s are 94-96
If you're watching this, you have superior music taste❤
This lady is so talented. I never heard of her before until about a month ago as if I was living on another planet. Her singing, dancing and choreographies are truly amazing. Certainly one of the greatest talents of our time. Thank you Kate, for sharing your great gifts with us and I will always be a fan of yours.
To see Kate Bush in her glory find her BBC Christmas special from 1979. You won’t be disappointed
no one will ever match kates amazing talent
I like the state Kate exudes in this. It seems so uniquely authentic. Unlike most of her music videos its less a portrayal of a character and more an expression of a persistent, wiry, tense, and exhausted self.
Kate Bush is an incredible dancer, I've rarely seen anyone move so deliberately yet so natural
She's classicly trained as a ballet dancer
Oh perfectly summed up how I feel
I'm HEADOVER HEELS! I was born in 89 so I didn't first here her till highschool. My friend played one of her songs sensual world and than I didn't understand it and I thought it was indeed strange for music. But THIS in INCREDIBLE. I feel like this and wuthering heights are fantastic! I'm so glad god is good and showed me this!
One of the most amazing moments in my entire life was the chance to get to see this remarkable genius perform live almost 10 years ago, at The Apollo, second row from the front. Something I never thought was going to happen. And, of course, she didn't disappoint! 😉😉
This is some serious ass creativity, I'm completely mesmerized by this artist. I just discovered her and I have not even begun to think about picking my jaw up off the ground! WHAT?!!!!!
You've got some catching up to do. If you want to survive the experience, I wouldn't listen to "This Woman's Work" from 1989 quite yet.😉
Extraordinary! You shake Kate enough n out pops Tori, Björk, Missy Elliott etc etc…
Just watched her film The Line, the Cross and the Curve, and this is no joke the first scene of the film. There's nothing before this, it just opens with this without any context. Absolute legend.
I didn't know she made a movie that sounds amazing.
who cares if it's different from her other stuff. she'd taken a 3 year hiatus and to me this is a kickass comeback song...kate has done so many different sounds and is pretty incredible in all of them. if you're not willing to open your mind and see the entire contents of an artist's brain (more than just her "dark and mysterious" tracks) i don't care for your opinion.
This choreography is unmatched til this day. WTF? Kate is just next level genius. That Yo-yo dance is just insane. I just don't understand how someone can be so talented in all forms of art
Kate was a one off 40 odd years ago... .. NOBODY else has come close since,iconic mystery of a legend.x
This girl was ahead of time.
Genius 😎
Mates a british genius, a real national treasure. Days of real talent
30 years later and this album is still as fresh as the day it came out ❤ #theredshoes30
This album is an underrated masterpiece. Prince plays on a cut.
This dance is genius! It fits the song perfectly 👏🏼
It's sublime..
I love the segment with the yo-yo. Dancing, Yo-yo, lip syncing, just brilliant.
She's a really great dancer too and has a very unique style.
Born in '55. Never heard of her. She rocks!🎸
As someone who has done martial arts off and on for much of my life, as well as a short stint in ballet (funny enough), I can see her timing and movement skills are seriously high. Had she wanted to, she likely would be a top level performer in those arenas. But my ears and eyes absolutely appreciate that she stuck with music/dance. Such complexity and depth of insight, she must be amazing internally. C. Jung would have loved her I imagine.
Jesse Herbert Maybe you already know, but her brother taught Karate and competed in Kudo ( a Japanese form of archery I believe). Kate trained with him often as a kid.
I love that the dancers and musicians she works with have been with her since the 70s! ;D
No wonder they move as one.
@@patkelly3966 also a couple of them are family
I accidentally misheard some Kate bush lyrics and for the longest time wouldn't listen to sat in your lap. But just. Recently I heard the song again and I heard it right! And I love that song now!
This woman is a legend and her music will be heard for centuries! Thank you for the masterpieces you wrote ❤️
I've always thought this song is about her wishing she was flexible like a rubberband so that when bad things happen, she has the ability to bounce back quickly and not break. "See those trees, bend in the wind, I feel they've got a lot more sense than me". Trees don't try and stop the wind from hitting them, they bend in the wind because the wind's only there temporarily and then it's gone. It's about being adaptable and still managing to survive
That's the sense I get from the whole 'Red Shoes' LP. She was low at the time: her mum had died, and several friends.
'I don't feel safe, I feel life has blown a great big hole through me'.
+Michelle Gazzard No the song is obviously about Kate Bush wanting to open an office supplies factory and become a rubber band mogul.
This quote was from "Lily", who is the psychic she consulted and is also featured in the video for the same song~~
Its about her thinking she wishes she could keep it together and go with the punches life throws ...
IIRC, she wrote it about her mother's death, that she could get past the grief and move on, so I think that your analysis is correct
One of Kate’s absolute best songs. The Red Shoes in general is fantastic and unfairly maligned in the fandom.
The Red Shoes is a very good album. Without Eat the Music, it would have been even better...
Absolutely, and I don't know why.
@@nadiazayman779 It doesn't really matter, I love it too 😉
@@beathusk1018 eat the music is cute
The Red Shoes is easily one of my favourite albums. The only song I'm not keen on is Constellation of the Heart
Kate was the music of my infancy and continued through adolescence into adulthood. A permanent fixture in my life. 50 next year.
Who doesn’t want a girlfriend like her? She’s so cool!
Fantastic to see Kate Bush getting recognition from a younger audience. I'm in my 30s & when I was a kid, my mum often used to play her tapes. I was slow to appreciate her work but around 10 years ago I was searching for music on RUclips and happened across "Hounds of Love" and became hooked.. My tastes have changed quite a lot, glad to say, because there's genius to her lyrics and what a voice !! Maybe that's what "Stranger Things" has done for so many people.
You know people say that the world ain't perfect. That is true until you discover Kate.
She gets pretty close.
Just today I discovered the brilliant Kate Bush. I know, better late than never though right! She is blowing my mind.
It is never to late to discover the goddess Kate. Once hooked there is no going back.
Please listen to My Lagan Love by her , its beautiful n no music to it , one word Wow x
Yep, didn't sleep the night a British friend insisted I watch a video of her music videos. I was a classical music nerd.
I remember when "The Red Shoes" came out in '93. 99X Atlanta played this track quite often for a few months. Good times...
I've become absolutely obsessed with this song. I listen to it everyday.
Know what you mean. There are KB songs that you understand, KB songs that you like, and some ... well, some, you don't have a f*****g clue what they're about, and yet they just blow you away, like this one. I think it's her choice of musicians and arrangements. Oh, and if you're like me there are those that simply lay waste to you; 'Coral Room' .... 'Under the Ivy' ... 'Hello Earth' ....
Flo Jo 'A Coral Room' makes me cry every time. It's unbelievable how powerful and tragic yet beautiful that song is.
I was born in 1993, the same year as this album came out. My first musical memory of any music was Kate Bush and this album. I grew up listening to Kate and she’s been a major, reoccurring role in my life. Words cannot express how she’s molded my life by the inspiration of her music. What I would do to hang out with her over tea and just pick her mind. Kate, thank you for giving the world such excellence in your artistry, and for helping me be the person I am today.
Looks like we're both lucky then. If you like, i could list other songs released in our year 1993
I love this song, since the 1st time I heard it in the 90's. For some magical reason it stayed with me. Kate Bush is such a marvellous artist 🤍🎙🎼🙂🙏
Another one of Kate's still sounding fantastic in 2022.
I’ve always thought it was a travesty this song only reached No 12 as it was far and away one of the best songs of 1993. I believed that when I was 14 and still believe it at 43.
1993 was a revolutionary year for music: pop music, house, jungle, and the birth of Techno. Kate's RBG competed against meat loaf's i'd do anything for love, ub40's falling in love with you, etc... though I also consider this was way superior than the aforementioned contenders
Listen to Karol G: 😕
Listen to Kate Bush: 😁❤
She is my favorite ever 😊
I discovered this gem yesterday and I'm addicted to the song, the video. Kate is so creative in her music videos
Just heard this song for the first time and it blown me away. Takes you to another dimension where your superpowers are
Kate bush a an all-rounder she can not only sing but writes produces and bends like a Rubber band. Genuis And unstoppable.
The DJ at my 21st asked for any special requests. This was the only song I requested and he bought the CD single especially for it. He didn't seem impressed with my choice but almost 30 years on I still love it :)
This is such a fun and addicting song. I keep having to go back to it. It's only underrated and forgotten under Kate's amazing discography.
Happily, the 'forgotten' status is going away. Of Kate's 121 songs that are streaming, this one has 2.7 million streams - adding about 1500/day. Position of this song in her list is #45 out of the 121. Kate's R.U.T.H. has coattails, and is making nearly all of her creations visible.
What I love about Kate is her uniqueness and unconventionality as perfectly illustrated here...
Kate Bush, Prince and Tori Amos taught me that music could give you life.
NIN, Faith No More and NWA taught me you didn't need to feel bad about being you.
80s/90s music had purpose.
Current media makes profit. Salute the era that will no longer be allowed.
Just love her! Kate Bush was the first female singer to really, and successfully, combine the theatrical and avant-garde with mainstream pop. So beautifully expressive and creative, in her music and movement.
It fascinates me so much, how her accessible pop music sensibility can integrate meticulous artistry and composition without either aspect being compromised. Her works are pop songs with mass appeal and serious musical experiments at the same time. She is still the best example of art-pop around, I think.
I love this video so much. How she ends up in a straight jacket while everyone is just smiling & happy. I feel like there's a message there. It's great. Very creative.
How Kate's videos never garnered more awards is beyond me. The commitment she puts towards her dancing is almost unparalleled even by Madonna. Kate's body is a full vessel of art. I hope she releases this full movie in the future.
It's part of The Line The Cross and The Curve, you''ll find it on RUclips. I'm sure you've found it by now!
Love this song! I've sang this song at karaoke sometimes. People are usually are WTF or I LOVE IT!
Ahead of her time, her artistry & vision threw the roof!!!
She was in her own time as she did not care about past , current nor future trends as a true artist is unique such as Kate . I've never seen this video nor heard this song but it definitely put a smile on my face .
"It's in the trees, it's coming!"
in to the sensual world..
"See those trees? I think they've got a lot more sense than me"
Absolutely love this track and video. Loved Kate for years but only recently had the courage to admit it to my friends - lol.
Amazing singer
Where do you live?were you serious?
I live in upstate NY and ever since The sensual world came out I’ve been obsessed with her music.
Everyone who knows me knows I am the geek who loved Kate bush!
She is the greatest artist alive.
She's a real artist, there aren't many of them.
I first watched Kate on Top Of The Pops singing “Wuthering Heights” - I’ve followed her ever since. Her talent knows no bounds.
Her marriage of interpretive dance to her song lyrics and music is unparalleled. This is why calling her an otherworldly musical genius almost seems like an understatement.
God I love this video. The choreography is fantastic. And the song is wonderful. I have no idea why she didn't like it much. I suppose artists are never satisfied with their own work.
Maybe she thinks it lightweight and poppy compared to much of her work. I like it a lot.
Interesting, I didn't know she didn't like it. It's probably my third favorite of hers after Wuthering Heights and Running up That Hill but I don't know if I'd like it as much without the fantastic video. She's just so amazing to watch move. There's a lot of pop stars that are great dancers but their dance seems to come from a different perspective. When Kate dances it feels like pure emotion and artistry.
@@jeffreywrightphotography I know her mom was dying or had already died and Kate didn’t properly process it all so she had to just “shut down” basically that’s why for over a decade seclusion ruled till Ariel came out AND WORTH THE WAIT OF COURSE 💜🤘💜
I’d love to see her get past these self conscious insecurities and GO LIVE AGAIN 🙏💜🙏 been eight years now since all those shows but, beyond the renaissance of RUTH there’s a collaboration with Big Boi of OutKast that has yet to be released so I advise you to hang onto something 🙃💜🎉🎉🎉
Always feeling better after listening to her music , all of her music actually ❤
kate was very bendy. Loved this when it came out many years ago, seems like yesterday. Favourite part is when she says" here i go etc"
AND NOW MY GOOGS HISTORY IS ALL ABOUT KATE BUSH OMFG SHE'S SO GOOD YAAAAAS
I love Kate when she's in catchy pop mold. This is one of her most catchy!
Yeah, this and The Big Sky. ;-)
I have this cd single for decades. Love this song
superb choreograprhy in this video
1993 in the making baybay
All the talents you have here, Ms Kate. Outstanding
Love her since wuthering heights in my childhood...goddess Kate❤
Her music is an amazing memory of the times, but her skills in choreography are at another level altogether. Only now getting to see all the vids associated. Amazing!
The Red Shoes is an excellent album, but then again they all are.
Kent Mains the only one i dont like is sensual world and lionheart loses its mojo halfway through
Leon Tarkshina I like sensual world but agree that Lionheart loses steam on side 2. Hammer Horror is a gem though.
i like the sensual world now tho
Kent Mains Agreed, one of my favourites alongside Hounds of Love. She started her gigs last year with 'Lily' - perfection!
Fiona Skywalker Wish I could have been there, have only heard some mediocre bootlegs so far.
I like Kate Bush music
Vibes of Palmer's Addicted to Love, Prince's Cream and Kate's another masterpiece, Cloud busting.
They must've had to film the part where she puts the straight-jacket on over and over until it happened smoothly.
I'm thinking it was probably spot-on the first time. She was working with dancer/choreographer Stewart Avon-Arnold since 1979 for her Tour of Life concert. Absolute silliness abounds in her "Them Heavy People" video from that era. It's a total hoot.
muskndusk Kate would have rehearsed this a hundred times. She left nothing to chance. Just like when she prepared for stage performances.
@@GarthPrice-ej6bt I'm exactly the same age as Kate and know what she's done. The choreographer who helped with the Tour of Life concerts was Anthony Van Laast.
@@warrenbridges1891 I'm aware this would have been well-rehearsed, but I bet there were still many bloopers which ended up on the cutting room floor. Nobody is perfect, not even Kate.
@@muskndusk That's possible I suppose. She was rarely 100% happy with anything she did.
First time since 1993 watching this.
Forgotten gem!
I have loved this track since it first came out (on the day I passed my motorbike test) but this is the first time I have ever seen the video. Another example of Kate's creative genius.
I've been a fan since I discovered her - from a friend- in the 1990s. Her voice, creativity, and beautiful prose has helped walk me through many a tough time (and amazing one) in my life. A true legends legend.
It's amazing how effortless she sounds when singing so loud and so high.
Just when you thought you knew Kate - she pulls more genius talent out of the box 💕
i love this song so much, kate is one of the best songwriters and performers out there
Majestic Kate Bush. See. She dances with a straitjacket. Excerpt from the album Red Shoes, where several titles allude to the world of the insane in hospitals. 1993. She had to see herself as quirky. It's this bit of difference that gives her the magic charm. She's not crazy. But she touch the other dimension. Fragile
