I look at you and see My life that might have been Your face just ghostly in the smoke They're setting fire to the cornfields As you're taking me home The smell of burning fields Will now mean you and here And this is where I want to be This is what I need This is where I want to be This is what I need This is where I want to be But I know that this will never be mine Ooh, the thrill and the hurting The thrill and the hurting I know that this will never be mine I want you as the dream Not the reality That clumsy goodbye kiss could fool me But I'm looking back over my shoulder At you, happy without me This is where I want to be This is what I need This is where I want to be This is what I need This is where I want to be But I know that this will never be mine Ooh, the thrill and the hurting Will never be mine The thrill and the hurting It will never be mine It can never be The thrill and the hurting Will never be mine
This older version sounds almost upbeat compared to the 2011 Director's Cut which is devastating in its sadness. I wonder if Kate's age has anything to do with it - when you're young and your heart is broken, there's still love out there somewhere for you. But in the Director's Cut version you get the feeling that she's looking back over her whole life, and "never" really means never again. In any case I love Kate and both versions (although the 2011 is one of my favorites of all her songs.)
1992, Friday evening mad rush from London, escaped from the M25 but stuck in a traffic jam on on the A303 heading west watching the farmers burn the stubble in their fields and this starts to play on the tape. Everytime I hear this I can see still the view.
My brother bought her first single and everything from there on. And his little sister, who was seven years younger, fell in love with Wuthering Heights and claimed Kate Bush for her own for evermore xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Kate you are a master of the universe!!! Kate you sing artisticalley from your soul, and all your music has penetrated my SOUL, always and forever!!! This song has very special meaning to me:):):) "Chin Chin" Chente Anni Salute Ciao:):):)
I think this song deals with the pain of a woman's infertility, about her being unable to conceive the "life that might have been"; and this is very difficult for her and the relationship to handle... The "thrill and the hurting" of giving birth will never be hers... It can never be... And this reality clashes with the dream, making the relationship too difficult for either of them.
My phone does a weird thing (occasionally) in which when you're watching one video, the last one you saw returns on a two second repeat in about a quarter of the screen. Unfortunately on this occasion it was "Dick and Dom do Bugsy Malone". So on the one side I had a beautiful woman singing one of the most lovely, haunting songs I've ever heard - and on the other two crazy comedians squirting people with splurge guns. This was not good for my mental health.
ctd...Field burning is used to clear land of existing crop residue and to kill weeds and weed seeds in preparation for the next crop. This 'destruction' is part of the creative process. So the scene poignantly emphasises her barrenness. Her frustration, longing, love and anger make her feel that he is happy without her... A sad but beautiful song...

'I want you as the dream, not the reality'. Touché.
In Kate Bush I trust .. God in the flesh
Yessss all kind of pain in one brilliant song Kate ❤️
I look at you and see
My life that might have been
Your face just ghostly in the smoke
They're setting fire to the cornfields
As you're taking me home
The smell of burning fields
Will now mean you and here
And this is where I want to be
This is what I need
This is where I want to be
This is what I need
This is where I want to be
But I know that this will never be mine
Ooh, the thrill and the hurting
The thrill and the hurting
I know that this will never be mine
I want you as the dream
Not the reality
That clumsy goodbye kiss could fool me
But I'm looking back over my shoulder
At you, happy without me
This is where I want to be
This is what I need
This is where I want to be
This is what I need
This is where I want to be
But I know that this will never be mine
Ooh, the thrill and the hurting
Will never be mine
The thrill and the hurting
It will never be mine
It can never be
The thrill and the hurting
Will never be mine

So much talent in a youth

3am traveling from Brighton to Manchester 1998. Driving across the thames. I still see the water, the mist.
Kate Bush is everything
This sublime, bittersweet song that shakes the heart
Such an incredible artist.
God, she was a gorgeous creature! Oh my heart! And that voice, and that artistry! Be mine Kate! 💖
She still is. Her inner beauty will always shine - the girl with the cutest smile and dimples.
My favourite Kate bush song ever
My brother bought her first single and everything from there on. And his little sister, who was seven years younger, fell in love with Wuthering Heights and claimed Kate Bush for her own for evermore xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Kate is a unique, beautiful concept unto herself and listening to her songs is a journey.
One of my favorite songs of hers.
Ich kann es nicht genug hören, es berührt mich und dass seit 35 Jahren.
Haunting and beautifully sung.
Can feel the agony in Kate's voice as she/me realizes that she/me will never have the man we love. Very sad indeed.
Don't give up. Love and peace.
🤣
Sweet naivness.
beautiful song, voice, woman... thanks.. amen.
Love this song. Of course it's me she's singing about.
One of her best;) Been a fan since I was 5, turn 40 this year, and still love her. So original, still!
Kate you are a master of the universe!!! Kate you sing artisticalley from your soul, and all your music has penetrated my SOUL, always and forever!!! This song has very special meaning to me:):):) "Chin Chin" Chente Anni Salute Ciao:):):)
