What is your favourite song from a TV series or Film? Share below
Don't you (forget about me) by Simple Minds from The Breakfast Club
One of the things that broke Kate out in the US (to the degree that she did break out) is that the song "Hello Earth" was strongly featured on an episode of Miami Vice. It was very early in the release cycle for the album, so much so that the producers had to have gotten a hold of the song significantly before release. It goes to show how good they were at their jobs, which was to put cool songs in their show before anyone else had heard them. It also laid the groundwork for Kate to get to #30 in the US with Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God). The song has now peaked at #4 in the US, for now, but wow is it heavily emphasized in the new trailer for Stranger Things
”Cry little sister” from Lost Boys. Classic 80s.
Peter Gunn, Carol's bass line kills it .
Honestly the song change by deftones in the videogame saints row 2 has been such a, wow I love music moment for me. I don't watch TV or movies much anymore but that was a film I played through and listened to that song on there a lot
When Running Up That Hill hit #1, all of us Kate Bush fans in the US screamed FINALLY!
Haha exactly!
Its hard to explain, this song I’ve heard hundreds of times now, all of a sudden, being the hot new thing. She thoroughly deserves it, though!
@@5roundsrapid263 I bought it when it first came out and very happy it’s been exposed to whole new generation of people!
@@Producelikeapro I was a bit too young to buy albums, but I remember first seeing and hearing her in the “Cloudbusting” video on MTV, and just being totally blown away!
@@5roundsrapid263 amazing
Warren, that was exceptional. The reason main stream TV is dying. Way better content can be found on RUclips and it's presented by a true professionals with passion. Once again, thank you for this channel.
Wow! Thanks ever so much Graham! That really means a lot
Good call Graham!
@@clowncarqingdao thanks ever so much!! I really appreciate it
@@Producelikeapro your documentaries wouldn't feel out of place on BBC4. Except you have more depth for musicians.
@@StuartQuinn wow! Thanks ever so much! That really means a lot!
So happy to see Kate get the recognition she so much deserves, especially after her shoddy treatment from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, she is a real artist, Singer, Musician that no one gets anywhere near, today!
Me too! I've talked about this album so many times over the years and to see it getting the credit t deserves in the US is amazing!
I'm a big tough metalhead. Kate Bush always makes me cry. Enough said. Thanks Warren.
So true!
M You're not the only one. I have all of her albums.
@@warrenbridges1891 me too! Masterful artist
@@Producelikeapro One of a kind.
I've only been in love with her for 44 years. She is the greatest female artist of all-time, any art, any genre, anywhere.
And should be spoken of in the company of Shakespeare, Rembrandt, Mozart, Van Gogh, Picasso, Hitchcock, Dylan, Hendrix and Bowie
John Lennon & BobMarley
@@nikf5769 where do l draw the line?
Agree with those two because they were bigger than their music. I could've also added Young, Clapton, Springsteen, Cash, Nicks, Page, Mitchell, Prince, Mellencamp, V Morrison
@@Chapps1941 thanks ever so much for sharing
Agree 💯
@@nikf5769 those two are bullshiters.
She is my favorite female singer of all time. What an amazing artist!
In my humble opinion, she's equivalent to David Bowie in terms of authenticity, creativity, irreverence, relevance, and multi-talent skills.
Thank you so much to all of you guys for bringing us those stories.
Cheers!!!
I just said the same thing!
@@lancecox8084 She's singular, for sure. I dare to say that both are "hors-concours".
Cheers!
Totally agree. She is a brilliant talent.
If I was going to start a RUclips flamewar I'd say > Floyd and I think Gilmour knew that. So anyway I didn't say that :D
Thanks Wagner! Yes, I’m a huge fan!!
Soft spoken, strong willed, extremely talented and unique. Love Kate. Thanks Warren.
Marvellous!
I will never forget having to travel to a record store that carried "alternative music" in 1985 to buy Hounds of Love, and I will never forget what it felt like dropping the needle on that album for the first time.
I hear you 100%! I remember it vividly!!
Best thing ever
We worked with The KT Bush Band for many years up until the pandemic hit, Brian Bath (who played with Kate on the first five albums as well as the Tour Of Life) and Vic King. Brian had so many amazing stories he shared with us! Happy days and lovely people
Wow! That's amazing to hear! Thanks for sharing!
When I attended college in the early 80's we had a saying, Kate Bush is God.
I grew up in the 2000’s, but Kate Bush has been in my ear since before I could talk or walk. My mom, who was very close to her British and Irish culture, had every one of Kate’s albums on either CD or Tape. She would play them in the car, and one of my earliest memories - that memory where you can sort of feel your brain booting up to actually begin remembering things - was me sitting in the car, in my kids chair, waiting for her outside of a shopping center. Kate’s “Army Dreamers” was playing, and my 4-ish year-old self was hooked. Needless to say, I’m almost overwhelmed by Kate’s sudden resurgence. Living in the U.S., when I mentioned Kate to even those from my mother’s generation, they had no idea who she was - and my generation? Forget about it! 😂 Fast forward to today, and just about everyone has heard Running Up That Hill. I’m so glad Kate’s brilliance has been exposed to so many new people.
I so hope Kate see's this video...also..btw..her Album "Aerial" is freaking AMAZING!
Thanks ever so much! Agreed, I LOVE 'Aerial'!
Talking strange things, I drove my 17yo daughter from Melbourne to Sydney a few months back (she's a budding actor and plays guitar and piano). As you may know its a good ten plus hours on the road, so to break the boredom I said let's play someone I think you'll like, Kate Bush. We played her on spotify for hours, then just a couple of weeks back there's Kate on Stranger Things and now one new teenage fan has joined the club.
Like you Warren I've always been a great fan and as a DJ in the 80's witnessed her genius and am so glad she has got the chance to be heard again.
I'm over the moon for her. Hopefully in the US it will shine a light on her previous work. Before the "Stranger Things" explosion I was watching Americans reacting to various Kate videos and being totally mesmerised, especially when they realised that she wrote "This Woman's Work" which was covered by Maxwell and I think in another USTV series.
Kate's like that sister you grew up with "that don't do music no more" but you keep telling your friends to check her out. You feel so proud.
Great insight on the recordings and the gear that was used. Thanks Warren. Cheers.
Thanks ever so much Peter! I really appreciate it!
Someone to it very correct that TV is dying…it died many years ago for me…RUclips has nailed it for world population of real content that has real balls. Great video ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks ever so much! I really appreciate it
I never heard of her until her collaboration with Peter Gabriel on Don't Give Up. I backtracked from there. What a voice !!!!! Thanks for the information OVERKILL I love it.
Ha! How can we not overshare!
Not overkill....It's a Goldmine.I wish I knew all this before.Stuart Elliott , maaan !
@@StratsRUs Yes! Stuart is wonderful!
The brilliant video was done by Godley and Creme, 2 of the founding members of 10cc: another overlooked band who's accomplishments vastly overshadowed the only 2 songs most Americans know of them.
@@MichaelHonsinger Absolutely
I grew up with Kate Bush's music. One thing I have always said is her music transcends time. Majority of the music you really wouldn't pick as being typical of a particular era or decade. She pushed the limits, did what she wanted and it worked. I really would say she is one of the most unique and brilliant artists, maybe ever. She is utterly brilliant in both talent and imagination.
Very well said! Thanks ever so much
I love how you can pick and choose her music. Like a 'choose your own adventure'. I don't think 'The Dreaming' is her best album, but it's easily my favourite. Its so insanely good and creative and weird. She's an enigma and a genius
@@SonOfTamriel The Dreaming is so rewarding on repeated listening, it just gets better and better, there are so many layers.
The unorthodox use of metrics and pace of the melody / lyrics makes Kate Bush a daring true artist.
Absolutely agree.
This was the song that introduced me to Kate Bush in 1985. I immediately bought all her albums and have loved her music ever since.
Kate Bush is genius, she invented the concept of the modern female pop star. Her compositions and production are second to none. Bought her first album when it was released in 1978 !!
Thanks ever so much for sharing
The drums on the entire HoL album are just incredible...like they're thundering down off a mountaintop.
Agreed! So good!
And what I've also always found quite interesting: There's not one Crash cymbal sound on the entire album! (and cool to have it confirmed here by Brian Tench, too! 😀)
I find it endlessly fascinating that Peter Gabriel's arbitrary banning of cymbals on PG3 ("Melt") contributed to the creation of THE drum sound of the 1980s. Not only are there no cymbals on 'Hounds of Love', but there are no cymbals on 'In the Air Tonight', which arguably has the most famous drum fill of all time. It's completely mad that a song that is legendary for its compressed and gated drums (the sound pioneered by Gabriel, Padgham, Lillywhite, and Collins) has no hi-hats, crashes, or rides on it. When Gabriel first suggested the "no cymbals" idea, everyone must have thought "PG is crazy, but he's the artist, so let's go along with it", but ten years later (or 40, because it's ever-present in modern synthwave) bands were still using the gated reverb trick that his rule ultimately led to.
@@AutPen38 - Peter Gabriel's intuition must've been on fire back then! 😊 And that 'lucky coincidence' with the gated drum sound was another piece of that puzzle, too! (Quotation marks because there's no such thing as 'luck' or 'coincidence' - Everything happens for a reason! 😁)
@@mightyV444 I think Peter Gabriel has been secretly controlling the record industry since 1971 or something. When he decides he doesn't want to hear hi-hats and he wants to buy the SSL company, he just does it. :D
The Fairlight C.M.I creates magic. Great video! I always loved 'Mother stands for comfort' the most...
So good! Thank you.
AND ALSO the way she's talking about someone being trapped under the ice and sings, "It's me!" What a terrifying concept. Such a potent image of a horrifying dream.
Absolutely! Thanks for sharing
amazing! THIS needed an entire HOUR
Thanks ever so much
Rockets Tail is my favorite song of all time, to have been in the studio with Stuart and Kate would be beyond.
Just incredible.
Agreed! Wonderful song
I think you did Kate Bush honor. And rightly so. What a world - if not several worlds - of harmony, sound and emotion this artist created, drawing in the listener with every phrase, every movement, every note.
Thanks ever so much Lars!!
@@Producelikeapro No; thank you for making me relive the sensation I felt when I first heard Hounds of Love. It’s a thrill and an inspiration!
@@Larsmannetje66 wow! That’s such an amazing comment! Thanks ever so much
I was a 14-year-old kid in Poland when this album came out and I fell in love with it while also listening to big hair metal. Could not stop listening to it. Good music is good music. I can't respect Americans for not recognizing Kate's talent nearly 40 years ago, and now suddenly loving it. I think it's pathetic and too little too late. I've been in the US for 30 years now, and don't respect their failure to give Kate her dues, just like they have never given Gary Moore his dues.
Thanks ever so much for sharing
@@Producelikeapro I love your channel. What a gem. Your insight into great music is terrific and invaluable these days. And what’s a wealth of information. Keep up the fantastic work.
Kate is the musical Shakespeare of our time. Aerial, more precisely Sky of Honey is the ultimate proof of it. I have been listening to her since the age of 8 and I am 51 now. She has opened horizons in arts to me I was not even aware of, in literature, painting, movies, and many more areas. Thank you Kate and I hope she will release one more time some of her hidden musical gems that may sleep in her studio.
Kate FINALLY getting the recognition she deserves!!!
So happy to hear the song everywhere!!
The album is a masterpiece
Nah, she's always had the recognition she deserved. It's just the US that was late on parade.
To me all of Kate Bush's albums are musical adventures and masterpieces. She is an incredible artist and very underated at least here in the United States. She never followed musical trends and played by her own rules. Her and Shade are the same in that regard. Amazing 🤩!!
I've been a fan of Kate since I first saw her perform on Saturday Night Live (in the US) in 1978, and I absolutely fell in love. Several years later, I saw her concert video, "Kate Bush Live at Hammersmith Odeon," and that did it for me. Had I not been in the hospital, recovering from surgery, I would have flown from the US to London to see her in concert, no matter what the cost. Her albums are absolutely very much works of art, even her first album, "The Kick Inside," which has a hold on me like no other album or artist. That album needs to be played as a single experience, every bit as much as Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon." But every one of her albums are amazing, and I so desperately wish they would re-release her Hammersmith Odeon concert on BluRay, as well as her "Before the Dawn" concert, which were her only two "real" concert "tours," 35 years apart!
Its quite funny. I've been huge fan of hers from 15 years old in 1985 and about 2 weeks ago my teenage daughter comes into my room and said this song was the best thing she's ever heard. It is wonderful to see new fans hear her music and this is a wonderful tribute to her. Great video!!!!
I knew you would come through on this one! Thank you, Warren!
You bet! haha! You are welcome.
Yeah! I am at work but I am so excited to see this full length run down. One of my favorite tracks by an absolutely amazing amazing artist. I did a remake of this last summer for my own fun, used the Arturia CMI V which has many of the original patches from the real unit including the one for the main melody. What a track. Cannot wait to watch this closely this evening!
@@williamtell1477 that's marvellous to hear!
@@Producelikeapro amazing video as always. can I ask what camera and mic you used here? great great production
Hounds of Love was no 1 with me in 1985 Texas USA
Amazing
Running up that hill sounds so ethereal, mysterious, and beautiful!
One of my favorite things is watching young people discover older songs. I follow quite a few "reaction" channels just so i can get the second hand rush of seeing some 19 year old kid discovering Boston for the first time live on his channel. So when this song became a hit, i was very excited...mostly because I got to be one of those 19 year old kids. Not only had I never heard this song, i had never even heard of Kate Bush before, so i got to experience this song for the first time right along with all of the kids watching Stranger Things.
It’s a brilliant song & Hounds of Love is a PERFECT album. Just incredible. I first heard it in 1985, when I was mostly listening to heavy metal - and it absolutely changed my world. Forever.
Wonderful! Agreed 100%!
The thing is... as a mucisian... you always measure up to someone...
For me it is Jaco Pastorius, Mark King and Kate Bush... she is the real deal...
Thanks so much for this episode and your truthful comments... this really helps future generations... thank you so much...
And thank you Kate... don't know where to begin...
Very well said!
80’s American born. Never heard this song until this month. Glad to see people enjoying great songs again
Marvellous! Thanks ever so much for sharing
To have been a teenager in 1985, hearing the song for the first time on a medium wave radio was a true revelation then, and it still has so much power now. Great video, and what a delight to hear the story from the down-to-earth, friendly gentlemen who were involved in creating that true wonder of modern music. Bravo!
Thanks ever so much James!
An extraordinary song from a most extraordinary album. I've been a Kate fan since her first album came out and hold 'Hounds of Love' up as a true masterpiece. It's so exciting to see the success of 'Running Up That Hill' and renewed interest in her work now. We can only hope she will grace us with another album someday…
Agreed, wouldn't that be wonderful to have another album!
my mum just shared with me that her good friend was Kates neighbor. thanks warren, im so greatful for this community. producelikeapro!!!!
At what house though, her childhood home in Kent, or ones in London like- Eltham?
Personally my favorite song on that album is "Hounds of Love," also lovely dreamlike music video. My favorite album is "The Dreaming" which is one of the most unique and sophisticated pieces of music ever.
Thanks ever so much for sharing
Agreed with everything said about Kate Bush. God, what a talent. Just a brilliant artist.
Thanks ever so much
The last three minutes of this video is absolutely wonderful - heartfelt, joyous and life-affirming. "I wore it out!" Thanks so much!
Thanks ever so much! I really appreciate it!
I had turned 12 a month before this was released and I remember the impact the R.U.T.H. video had on me in such a manner that I became in love with all things Kate Bush ever since. I'm so happy for her to be acknowleged by a whole generation that also gets the chance to listen to music that is way beyond the current mass produced drivel.
I was fascinated by Kate Bush from my childhood. I remember seeing the video for Babushka on TV when it came out (my first contact with her music) and beeing blown away. As the years went by, I realised apsolutely noone shared my fascination and most people not even knowing who she was. Seeing her music gain so much attention and acknowledgement brings a smile to my face.
the *80s* ... need we say more?? Nope.. the music then itself was on another level totally.
*if only I could, If only u would*
*get out of this neighborhood*
*and go along the country road*
*take us back to our childhood*
*burn some good'ol dry wood*
*let the flames warm up the mood*
*staring deep at the charring soot*
*milky way crawling to the moon*
*Running Up That Hill to take 1 last look*
Thanks ever so much
Thanks ever so much
That this artist gets to shine twice, is a testament to her genius, and her works' beauty !
Agreed
The Hounds of Love has always been one of my favourite albums. I bought the cassette tape an played it under the sheets late at night. Side two freaked me out when I was half asleep!
Side Two is SO good! Absolute masterpiece! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Warren! I have a confession to make; I have fallen in love with Dusty Springfield! No day is complete without hearing at least ONE of her songs. The song that I love the most by Dusty is "The Look of Love".
Dusty Springfield is the most successful music artist that England produced after The Beatles. Her songs are timeless classics. Dusty was a singer, a producer and a television presenter. She was ahead of her time. She also had a remarkable come-back with a collaboration with The Pet Shop Boys. She was also a lesbian who "came out" in the 1960s. She also took a public and international stand against apartheid in South Africa during a tour there ... Dusty promoted The Motown singers and musicians on her TV show, and on Ready Steady Go in 1965 (introducing the teenage Stevie Wonder to the British audience).
"Dusty in Memphis" is a classical album by this legendary singer. Thanks.
I commented yesterday, but just finished watching the entire video, and have to comment again. Absolutely love your child-like admiration and excitement about Kate at the end. I'm exactly like you. This album and The Sensual World give my goosebumps at the very thought of them. There are no words to describe the effect her music has had on me for decades. No words. I know she's human, but the music is out of this world.
I love your observation that everything has its own place. Absolutely. From the beautiful vocals to the fast forward tape that on 99% of albums would be completely redundant, nothing is out of place. Reminds me of some of Coltrane's music where he seems to be improvising with random notes, but you realize this is pure genius and it makes the tune. The "Coltrane" album from 1962 is a good example.
Liked the interviews, but the last guy was a huge disappointment. Did he really try to argue that Kate is "actually a great singer"? Her voice may be an acquired taste for some with no exposure to good music, but not even a half-deaf person can make a claim she is not a fantastic singer. Comments like this don't belong in a place where any professional was blessed to work with Kate, or a channel covering this great musician. Very disappointing that he would make such comments. I think you changed the subject after he said that as there was no proper response to his inane statement. Well done.
As for the American critics, well, there is not much to say. I think especially with female singers they have been very ethnocentric and nationalistic. It's like female singers from other countries don't exist.
Thanks for your comment! FYI as a British person I have had to listen to a lot of people in the US saying they didn’t get her voice (there’s some comments here for instance) so I don’t have a problem with Brian expressing that. Thanks ever so much
Hopefully this will bring back other classics from the past into present times to a new crowd
I believe it will. Which classic would you like to see returning?
That seems to be what Stranger Things has been specializing in for a few years now. Hopefully some of the new listeners will be encouraged to explore her back catalog, rather than treat this incredible song / artist as a passing fad because of its use in a TV show.
@@Producelikeapro gosh thats a massive list from the 80s lol but wouldnt mind Nik Kershaw's Wouldn't It Be Good or Howard Jones 'What is Love ect
@@M2Mil7er We are definitely going to see other serials also going into back catalogs of other classics
Always thought the vocal was massively compressed, didn't quite appreciate the level of skill Kate had to employ to handle it. Overall super strong vocal will always stand the test of time. They'll be playing it 100 years after its release.
Agreed! It will ALWAYS be considered the masterpiece it is!
I really wish this would get a remix! IMO it has some issues but you know... splitting hairs is kinda what we do here.
I've said it before and I'll say it 1,000 times more, Kate Bush is a musical GENIUS. "Never For Ever" is my favorite record of hers. Hey, know who really deserves a segment? The Shadows.
Those tom fills with strongly dampening reverb ... I'm still waiting for this when I'm listening to this masterpiece
Thanks Warren. I was born in the early 70s in the US and I have absolutely no recollection of this song. It's amazing how something can resonate so strongly in one place and not another. I guess like he said, I was listening to Bon Jovi!
Haha indeed! Bon Jovi were great too!
Love the rendition of Running up that Hill that Kate does with David Gilmour. How much talent can you get on one stage ! Plus the bassist and backing vocalist is brilliant...despite the haircut. Thanks Warren...that hour slipped away too quickly...
Hi Peter, yes, that was very cool! My friend Tony Franklin is the Bassplayer on that performance!
Thanks Warren for pointing me in Tony Franklin's direction. I've subscribed to his channel. Great bassist and a cool guy.
Just amazing.
The Sensual World is absolutely great too.Rocket's Tail ! I'd love to have heard that in the studio.
Thank you for this fantastic video !
Thanks so much!
For me the fact that this song is N°1 today proves that people are thirsty for real artist that produce music withe meaning and soul that are not very commun in today's music industry.
“About time too” has never been more apt?
Haha yes, indeed!
That was a wonderful breakdown, Warren! At a time when everybody on youtube is trying to make some video about this song, this was definitely the best one. Thanks for that!
Thank you!
Wow! Thanks ever so much André! We didn't want to rush it just to cash in the success of 'Running Up That Hill'. I talk about 'Hound Of Love' ALL the time as being one of the greatest albums ever made, I firmly believe that it deserves the most amount of attention owe can give Kate and this masterpiece!
I fell in love with Kate the first time I heard this song on an American alternative radio station in the 80s. I immediately bought everything she had released! I have her complete catalog on CD and vinyl. If you don’t know Kate, you don’t know what you’re missing! ❤❤❤Kate!
Hounds of Love / Ninth Wave is a masterpiece in my opinion.
That initial synth drone sound on Running Up That Hill is ethereal and otherworldly and very special to me.
For me, "Waking the Witch" is the tour de force on Hounds of Love. Eerily powerful.
Here's a fun game for "Waking the Witch," it's called "Where's Hagrid?" Because he's on the song (Robbie Coltrane). My wife picked him out right away but I wouldn't have been able to distinguish him without her finding him first
Indeed! Thanks for sharing.
For me, the tour de force on Hounds Of Love is... everything from the beginning of Cloudbusting to the very end of side two. ;)
The entire second side, "The Ninth Wave" is the best work she's done IMHO
@@leewright4819 true... :-) But the hair on my neck stands up every time I hear the crowd chant, "Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!", followed by the doubled Simmonesque drums. Also, the way the Linn kick drum progressively ramps in density and intensity fuels the drama of the track. Powerful stuff.
It's all great stuff, but I think The Dreaming is her best work ever!
It's an amazing album!
Yeah, I tend to agree.
@@whycantiremainanonymous8091 it’s a wonderful album!!
I have been a Kate fan for over 40 years and I’m American, so we are a rare breed in that sense, there were not many of us back then, but we were a strong bunch. Great song, great album, my favorite Kate album is still The Dreaming though, but the interviews and coverage of the song and the album here is fantastic Warren. Thank you!
Super episode, thanks Warren. Kate Bush is a brilliant artist. The whole Hounds of Love is superb. I also have a soft spot for The Dreaming album which is very quirky and slightly bonkers - in a good way!
I love The Dreaming as well! Both masterpiece albums!
‘All the love’ of The Dreaming album exhibits some beyond comparison singing!
I loved this song in 1985, and I love this song now.
Isn't it funny how so much of what was really good goes right back to Abbey Road. Whether it was done there, or at Air, or by people who were trained there, Abbey Road was a gigantic influence on modern music. Most people never even knew it existed until the Beatles album of the same name, and I'm pretty sure when I talk about the studio a lot of people think I'm talking about the album.
I bought Hounds of Love on release day. There had been quite a bit of hype in the UK music press as I remember so I thought that I would give it a try!
With very good reason! It's fantastic.
Todays youths music is selected by a handful of people. Feels like the times of struggling artist doing demos, rehearsing in garages are gone. The music of before are in many cases timeless because they were made of people putting their soul into it. Music from the likes of Max Martin are easy to listen to but also easy to forget.
Thanks for your comment! There is definitely still great music made by artists! Chart Pop music always has been dominated by professional writers and producers. Plus things are circular, it will come back around where there’s more success from artists writing their own material. I’m always cautiously optimistic
@@Producelikeapro yea, their is absolutely new good music made by artist but it’s hard getting the fane they should have gotten if not drowned by “installation” music. Yes let’s hope your right :)
I recently went to a Pitch-black playback event which featured a Kate Bush compilation including some of these and it was stunning 😍😍😍
Wow! Thanks ever so much for sharing! I’m a huge Kate Bush fan!
@@Producelikeapro been a fan since 77 😁
I always enjoy your vids
I’m still amazed I never heard this song before Stranger Things. That chorus is one of the most epic choruses I’ve ever heard.
Agreed 100%!
Hope everyone gets to hear the BBC Radio 4 interview they just posted on RUclips. Kate's as wonderful a human today as ever. Trust me, it will make your day better. Check it out ;)
Part of her connection with a new audience is that she thinks and talks about energy and emotion in a way that is very common today as we are learning to embrace wellbeing and being aware of ourselves. She was simply way ahead of her time. After all the number of huge stars over the last 20 -30 years who have cited her as a key inspiration is vast and there are many contemporary artists drawing on her today. This exploration of the song is excellent.
I first saw and became an instant fan of Kate Bush, when she appeared on Saturday Night Live, December 9th 1978, she performed "The Man With The Child In His Eyes" it was the most beautiful other worldly and emotional song I ever heard, never stopped listening to her since, I am an old school 70s Punk Rocker, but if I could only listen to two musicians it would be David Bowie and Kate Bush and I would be happy.
Brilliant. So well deserved for Kate. It's a classic, ageless, despite it's sonic era. Beautiful, dynamic, sacred, haunting, and so so original. Personally, I love The Dreaming as much, if not more, which I fell in love with on first hearing, too. There's an equal amout of emotional variety, sensuality, brooding, and experimentation, there, too. The only difference is it was not awash with the big hits, but I don't need big hits, just Kate's ludicrously intelligent, emotional and stunning talent. As for changing the name to placate the American market, as someone pointed out recently, God Only Knows, didn't fail because of a word. Kate is the artist for me, that stands outside of everything else I listen to, then, and now. It's a personal thing, a sort of connection, that when you have it, is there for life
Thanks ever so much for your wonderful comment!
Thanks ever so much for your wonderful comment!
Agree with everything you just said. It’s beautiful to see this generation, reared on a soulless diet of auto tuned non entities masquerading as singers discover the beauty and depth Kates music.
Kate has been one of my favourites since forever 😊.
Her “AERIAL” album from 2005 is also truly brilliant. In fact I would rate it as my favourite of Kate’s albums (if I had to do such a foolish thing as choose a favourite). After more than a decade long hiatus she returned with this double album and it contains some inspired music and gorgeous production.
“Joanni” on the first LP of this double album, about Joan of Ark, is genius imo. Pi, How to be Invisible and all the rest are not far behind.
Her lyrical imagery and depth are always second to none but how she crafts those into beautiful melodies and creatively inspired and accessible songs is masterful.
She deserves all this success, and more! It really only goes to show that a great song is always a great song.
The big trick in the ‘80’s was to get all that electronics to sound human. People like Kate and Peter Gabriel did that wonderfully.
I was 14 when this song came out. Was blown away by it then (and still am to this day). It was so unusual, haunting and catchy at the same time. Kate Bush was unlike any other artist then. Totally awesome it is being re-discovered now. Thank you Warren for this excellent documentary.
KATE BUSH. Agreed. My all time favourite female Singer, Songwriter and Producer. Have all her work and live to go back and listen to her production. Admittedly there are some vocal tracks I wince at. Here’s hoping there is more to come. Aerial is still a favourite.
There are like a dozen of these kinds of videos bouncing around RUclips right now, capitalizing on the Stranger Things resurgence. Yours is the best by far. Thank you!
I've been a massive KB fan since I heard Wuthering Heights at age 7. And I concur with what you said towards the end of the video: I too have been genuinely happy and excited about this new success for weeks now, it feels almost personal, which is weird as I'm just a superfan but it's not my own song or achievement in any way. But it just feels sooo satisfying.
Great episode Warren, I also loved your Wuthering Heights video. As a German expat in L.A. I think we share the almost surreal experience of watching U.S. audiences discover Kates music at a point in time when nobody expected this to happen. Brilliant!
Thanks ever so much! I realer to the expat in LA! Great to be here and enjoy the sun!
I remember seeing Kate Bush on tv in her farmhouse studio, and although I was a guitar band kind of guy, I loved seeing her with all that cool equipment and thinking she was so cool (I had a fostex x-15!) Couple of months ago I picked up Hounds of Love for 20p in a charity shop because I knew it was an album I should have bought if I wasn’t spending my dole money on The Smiths records back in 1985.
Anyway, once again a great video , I want to say you knocked it out of the f***ing park, but my mum won’t let me . Cheers Warren x
I also had an X-15 when that album came out.
@@MichaelHonsinger I have still got mine, it’s under the bed gathering dust !
@@richfish101 I used mine a lot Pne channel was going out. I met someone who said they could fix it and that he was familiar with them. Turns out he lied. He couldn’t get everything back into it which wouldn’t matter anyway because he broke it more. We moved on to Tascam ports studios. I now use Ableton 11 Suite. Recently got Spectralayers and am trying to Susa out how to use it. Would like to go back to revive some of that over layered stuff. We played too much Ping Pong
@@MichaelHonsinger yeah me too, I loved that thing.
So deeply thrilled so many know this song better now. That synth, drum and vocal exchange has always been so damn special. It evokes such a defiantly unique and powerful feeling- a haunted, frustrated and striving sensation.
Thanks ever so much for sharing
I'm a Kate uber fan. Have been since that first album. This is a fantastic overview. LOVE Warren's face after the NYT 'review' quote 🙂
Thanks ever so much!
I remember seeing Kate on Saturday Night Live, performing Them Heavy People. I always knew of her but I didn’t pursue her catalog. When The Whole Story was released, I couldn’t stop listening to it and wound up getting everything I could by her. I even have This Woman’s Work, her box set of CD’s including most of her B sides and rarities. Hounds of Love is certainly her pinnacle, although many fans seem to prefer The Dreaming over it. Those 2 are very different but perhaps taken together give a more complete picture of her experimental nature. I really enjoyed the detail in your delivery. Thank you for such an exhaustive analysis that Kate certainly merits.
John as a diehard Kate Bush fan since 1980 I have to agree with your perception of The Dreaming vs Hounds of Love. The Dreaming was very much her dark eccentric masterpiece. It was an acquired taste but one that grew in acknowledgement over time.
@@JC19676 There Goes A Tenner and Suspended In Gaffa are my 2 favorite Kate tunes. Love The Dreaming and Sat In Your Lap as well. They are admittingly the poppier tunes on The Dreaming, and I do love the album as a whole. I always loved how she could propel a song and its groove without the need for a standard drum track with kick, snare and hi-hat or cymbals. Way ahead of her time in more respects than we typically acknowledge.
I used your word that you may have not intended to use, without trying to I might add.
@@JohnHancotte The no cymbals/drum sound is heavily influenced by Peter Gabriel 3. She worked on that album and was certainly influenced by it. She started to use the Fairlight after working on that album. Kate also credited Peter Gabriel with opening the windows for her.
Hounds of Love is a serious contender for my favorite album. Great songs and production, beautiful melodies, and Kate's voice was at its peak in this period.
Absolutely a masterpiece
I have never watched stranger things but I am a child of the 80s and I have always been a huge fan of Kate and am obviously obsessed with this song! I think anyone who is older gets a double blessing here. We get to see the song being celebrated once again and blasted all over the radio but we also get the nostalgia. To the creator of this video you genuinely have a gift my man! The way that you explained everything was literally music to my ears ✌️💙
Warren, one can immediately sense your absolute reverence for Kate as an artist and force of nature that she has always been. Thank you. What a wonderful deep dive into Kate's career leading up to Hounds of Love also. As an American, I was one of the few reading the English music press back in 1985 and I think it was perhaps an NME or Melody Maker review of the album that caused me to buy it. Like you, I too wore out a few cassettes and albums, immersing myself in this incredible piece of art. Once I had Hounds of Love, I immediately bought Kate's entire library and have since enjoyed all of her body of work for decades but Hounds of Love will always hold it's place as Kate's crowning artistic achievement for me. It's so purely realized and so specific to the place and time in her life that she wrote and recorded it, yet the genius of her themes and artistic accomplishment have absolutely universal and timeless appeal as you point out.
Your passion and drive to track down and conduct all of these interviews with Kate's collaborators is much appreciated as well. You're an excellent writer, presenter and interviewer and I enjoy all of your videos but this one took it to the next level. Like you, I am incredibly happy and grateful for the Duffer Brothers and their team bringing Kate's song into their show. It feels like a bit of vindication, especially as an American, to see the rest of the world and especially the younger generation realizing what Kate's music and vision is all about, I am sure that this has been the most thrilling event in Kate's professional life in several years to receive worldwide acclaim and recognition for her masterwork.
Back in the 80s and 90s, at least in my American circles, I knew very few others who were into Kate's music as it is so imaginative, free and emotional, most people I tried to introduce her music to, at least over hear in the states, just thought it was weird, they just didn't get it, at all. But that's common with artistic genius, they're often not recognized until the artist is gone, I am so happy Kate is around to experience this outpouring of acclaim for her vision. I recall in the 90s, my family hosted two English foreign exchange students, just for a few nights. In speaking with them, they asked me what kind of music I was into and once I had said Kate Bush, it was like we both spoke the same cultural and musical language, they were teenage girls on their first trip to the States and I will always remember our long conversation about how amazing she and her work was.
Thank you Warren for this video, it made my day!
Wow! Thanks ever so much! Yes, I really wanted to make sure we did as much Justice as possible to this I credible masterpiece. I talk about this album all the time in the channel and have name checked it so many times as a masterpiece! So for me, even though rushing out a video a week or two ago would have got more views (ambulance chasing as it were!) it wouldn’t have made sense! Kate Bush is one of the greatest artists of our time and I really wanted to pay her the repair she deserves! I hope we came close
@@Producelikeapro you nailed it Warren, it’s a very worthy tribute to the song, album and artist. Hopefully Kate will see your video, keep trying for an interview with her. I know she’s elusive and basically doesn’t do press but you interviewing Kate would be incredible. Worth trying.
One of my favourite artists, her best album; I'm delighted that Kate is getting the recognition she so vastly deserves. Listened to the album again yesterday and so blown away how current and modern it still sounds. The new fans are in for a treat when they explore her catalogue.
Thanks ever so much David! Yes, the album is such a masterpiece!
So fantastic, a true true artist, unbelievable writer, musician, singer and performer...unparalleled in any genre. My claim to fame is that she kindly made me a cup of Barry's tea (her favourite) while I was training to be a tape op at Westland Studios in Dublin, Ireland, while she was working on sessions for her Sensual World album with amazing Irish musicians Donal Lunny & Davy Spillane, those sessions were engineered by my brother Andrew.
Wow! Thanks ever so much Tim for sharing that! Your brother did amazing work on that album!
@@Producelikeapro If you ever do anything about the "Sensual World" you should interview him about the Irish Sessions for that album.
I am very happy that Kate Bush is getting her due! I was fortunate, I w introduced to Kate Bush with her "Hounds Of Love" album on University Radio at UNLV when it was released! Go Kate Go!
Definitely one of the best albums of all time. The Ninth Wave is possibly the most disturbing piece of popular music ever produced but just so intoxicating.
Thanks Warren, really appreciate this video.
You are welcome. Thanks for watching
Definitely agree. I remember playing the A side a couple of times and loving it.
I then turned it over. After listening to the B side I recall sitting in awed silence for a couple of minutes. Amazingly moving album.
PS, did the engineer guy say the deep "You'll burn" voice on Waking the Witch was Kate Bush herself? I tried replaying that a few times but couldn't quite hear what was said.
@@davebox588 yes, that's what I heard and it was news to me.
@@Rjhs001 Good heavens, that voice has stayed with me for decades. The undercurrent of parochial disapproval is just perfect for that segment. Such talent!
Thanks for confirming.
Wow, an hour! What a treat! Fantastic song on a fantastic channel.
Thanks ever so much! I really appreciate it!
Mr Blue Sky also played at the end of the Minions movie! Brilliant!
Marvellous
"One of my favourite songs of one of my favourite albums...."- bless you for that. :) This song is with me since it came out. Never get tired of it. (Although my favourite song from the album is "Waking the witch") Greetings from Germany.
Hi Warren. Steve from Big D Studios here. Great video and lovely to hear Stuart Elliot talking about the Simmons stuff. Always great to hear the name again. btw Those "chips" where blown in the Simmons EPB which was co-designed with Dave Simmons by my former business partner Adam Vahed. There's actually a great book out now by a guy called Alex Graham called "The Complete Simmons Drum Guide (The Rise And Fall of Simmons Electronic Drums)" if anyone's interested in that little bit of music history :)
Thanks ever so much Steve! Would be fun to know more about Simmons! Can you email me at warren@producelikeapro.com? Thanks ever so much
Great video. Kate Bush is a great artist and grossly underestimated as an innovator in the world of music. Inspired many artists I would imagine. Cheers. great stuff
Well said Joey! Thanks ever so much
I finally got around to season 3 & 4 of Stranger Things last week. I was so pumped (or chuffed as I imagine you might say, Warren) when Deal With God entered the story.
To my further delight they didn't just have a couple of seconds of the song briefly pass through, but it was a pivotal plot point and they kept playing parts of it repeatedly. They just don't do that with songs in movies anymore. I am so excited to find out about this resurgence of not only the song but the whole album. I only knew a couple of people who listened to it when it was a new release. (I was living in Olympia Washington at the time)
I bought Hounds of Love when it first came out and I was an instant Kate Bush fanatic! What a fantastic album. I especially love Waking the Witch for its' incredible soundscape; there's nothing else like it. All culminating in those helicopter blades synching up so beautifully with the rhythm. I get goosebumps every time.
