Running Up That Hill is a plea for men and women to understand each other by taking an effort to stand in each others places and see how it feels to live the life "god" has given each of us. A plea for more understanding in the world.
These final 7 tracks are the sections of one whole piece entitled The Ninth Wave, it is a dramatic epic which deals with the theme of drowning and the depths of the sea as an expression of the deep personal and collective unconscious. This epic was a masterstroke from one of the most important artists of our time. It starts with 'and Dream of Sheep", where she is stranded at sea, floating in a life jacket, trying not to fall asleep. She then slips into the depths of her subconscious, into the past, into the present as a disembodied spirit, and into the future , seeing herself as an old woman telling her that she must not die, or the old woman would not exist , she, said "c mon and let me live!!" Then seeing everything from far above, even the very storm that stranded her in the water, we get the sense of drifting further away from life, deeper into darkness, UNTIL... A sudden awakening,,either being incarnated as the morning fog, the light through tbe fog, or perhaps she was rescued and survived the near death ordeal. She awakens to a stronger sense of life. This is genius...
I was fascinated by the second half of album the first time. I loved the immediate appeal of the singles from the first half but the darker more cinematic second half really drew me in even more.
I see Running Up That Hill as being more about gender, sexuality and the relationship between partners. Maybe I'm misreading it but honestly that's how I first heard it/ saw it with the music video.
As far as I remember, according to Bush it's about wanting to swap places with the opposite sex (a partner in a relationship) to understand them better.
Bush said the lyrics address the inability of men and women to understand each other. She imagined that by making "a deal with God", they could exchange places and reach a greater understanding.The song was originally titled "A Deal with God", but representatives at EMI Records feared this would make it unpopular in more religious countries.The album version of the song is listed as "Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)". The music video features Bush performing an interpretive dance with dancer Misha Hervieu.The video was directed by David Garfath while the dance routines were choreographed by Diane Grey.Bush and Hervieu are shown wearing grey hakama.Bush wanted the dancing in "Running Up That Hill" to be more of a classical performance. She stated that dance in music videos was "being used quite trivially, it was being exploited: haphazard images, busy, lots of dances, without really the serious expression, and wonderful expression, that dance can give. So we felt how interesting it would be to make a very simple routine between two people, almost classic, and very simply filmed. So that's what we tried, really, to do a serious piece of dance." The choreography draws upon contemporary dance with a repeated gesture suggestive of drawing a bow and arrow, intercut with surreal sequences of Bush and Hervieu searching through crowds of masked strangers. At the climax of the song, Bush's partner withdraws from her and the two are then swept away from each other and down a long hall in opposite directions by an endless stream of anonymous figures wearing masks made from pictures of Bush and Hervieu's faces. MTV chose not to show this video (at the time of its original release) and instead used a playback "live" performance of the song recorded at a promotional appearance on the BBC TV show Wogan. According to Paddy Bush, "MTV weren't particularly interested in broadcasting videos that didn't have synchronized lip movements in them. They liked the idea of people singing songs.
💜 Kate Bush > Madonna. Kate is the epitome of an artistic singer, dancer and pianist. She wrote her first song at 13 and was discovered by non other than, David Gilmore. She’s a living legend. 💜
Listen to the I Let It in and It Took Everything album by Loathe. It has mad Deftones vibes but it’s really unique to it’s own style. Amazing metalcore album!
There is actually no way i was just looking up if you reacted to this already and was confused that you didn’t and like 2 hours later you uploaded this wtff
hey!! I really love your reactions, specially this one and all the Björk ones. Could you please react to Portals by Melanie Martinez? You should try listening her music, I think it is interesting!! Hope u got a nice day.
Hey man :) would you ever check out LP3 by American football? It's an album that's quite different from their first one (which you've already reviewed). A few of the songs mean a lot to me, which I've actually listened to on loop while reading books to enhance my emotions towards em. If you see this, would love to see you consider reviewing that album! even though im sure you've already been recommended so many :p Have a good day though !
Hey Smagz! Love your videos! Is there any way support your channel like leave a tip? Also since you said feel free to harrass me with your favourite artist lol, I’d think you’d like the band Palace, with the album "So Long Forever". Its a masterpiece
you always like my recommendations but never react( fr tho you are missing out) Cocteau twins -four calendar cafe Mazzy star - Among my swan The Cranberries- everybody else is doing it, so why can’t we? Pj Harvey - is this desire?
The second half of the album from track 6 until the end is about a woman drowning alone in the sea after a shipwreck at night. It's about the woman's struggles of keeping herself alive while her life is sort of passing in front of her eyes, and her past, present and future are all coming to keep her awake in the form of hallucinations. It's done very theatrically with every song representing a different part of her life or the struggles of her current situation. Btw it's not a theory or something it has been confirmed by Kate in many interviews.
True but songs are meant to be personal and interpreted subjectively as well. He interpreted it as death which is perfect because the last song “being born again” could be a new life or reincarnation. It’s all very spiritual and beautiful either way.
@@HerveBoisde The last song is about her being rescued. Kate confirmed it herself. "It’s meant to feel very positive and bright and uplifting from the rest of dense, darkness of the previous track. And although it doesn’t say so, in my mind this was the song where they were rescued, where they get pulled out of the water."
Totally agree. Great songs are open to interpretation for each individual 🎶Kate is a master at having so many layers and textures in her music and it has had different meanings to me over the years💚love her stories in the music too
It was fun to watch you come up with your own theories, it's a wild record to process at first listen. Hope you do more Kate, I'd recommend her 2005 double album Aerial. Where one disc is "just songs" and disc two is a suite of connected songs. Similar in concept as HoL but also very different!
if youre gonna checkout more Kate Bush then for sure check out “The Dreaming” the album before Hounds of Love! And id love to see some PJ Harvey reactions!!! ^_^
Do yourself a favor and check The Dreaming. Her best album. Better than Hounds of Love imo even though I love it as well. It’s really an experience lol
This is actually two records in one. Side A is Hounds of Love and Side B (starting at track 6) is the Ninth Wave, a story about a woman lost at sea after a shipwreck just lying in the water hallucinating and waiting to be rescued.
This album is amazing, I am so grateful to Stranger Things because it made me want to listen to more of her music. React to her first album please, it's beautiful.
His interpretation is honestly great. The last song about being born again could be interpreted as reincarnation. He does a great job because good songs and albums are meant to be personal and interpreted from each person’s perspective
Would love to see a reaction to Peter Gabriel’s “So” album. Imo one of the best pop albums ever and it features a breathtaking duet song with Kate Bush called “Don’t Give Up.” Also recommend Peter Gabriel III and IV.
Kate's first album, "The Kick Inside" which contains songs written when Kate was a teenager, is quite stunning in its maturity and choice of topics, which include suicide, incest and outright lust!
Honestly you would love Violent Femmes' self titled - it's a well-timed masterpiece as well as a generally dynamic and clever collection of cathartic, poppy but not at all, punk tracks that allow you to jump, sing, cry, and pound angry fists One of, if not the best, album of the 80's
Side two is called the ninth wave and meant to be heard as a single piece of music. It’s about a girl washed overboard and left behind to die. Songs reflect her both hallucinating and dreaming of her family and never seeing them again. She dies in hello earth and correct about resurrection. The more you listen the more you’ll get it.
I have listened to this album a million times, I mean a million, this was one of the very first cassette tapes I bought as a kid and just now I finally understood The Jig of Life - it's her future self telling her that present her has no right to die, that she owes survival to her future self so that she can exist. I guess I just never paid close attention to the lyric before.
BRO PLS PLS PLS REACT TO PREACHER’S DAUGHTER BY ETHEL CAIN. IF YOU LIKE KATE, DUSTER, LANA, AND AMERICAN FOOTBALL YOULL LOVE ETHEL. 🙌🙌🙌 also I subbed great video king
OMG WEYES BLOOD TOO YOU WILL LOVE ETHEL THE ALBUM IS ABOUT RELIGIOUS TRAUMA AND VIOLENCE BUT ALSO HAS A WHOLE STORY TIED TO IT ITS GREAT AND FREAKY YOULL LOVE
React to Lou Reed - Transformer (Lou Reed is the main singer of Velvet Underground, his album "Transformer" is known for being his most acclaimed solo album, produced by David Bowie)
I’m sorry but i don’t think you understood the meanings of the songs. I’m glad you enjoyed it cause i love this album and i love Kate Bush but her songs are harder to understand than you think. You should look for interviews online. She explained most of it.
I would highly recommend you checking out the first 2 Pink Floyd albums, The Piper At The Gates of Dawn and A Saucerful Of Secrets. They are very psychedelic compared to the rest of their work but amazing regardless :)
Okay, I enjoyed that, now here are your instructions - roll up a very fat one, make it a couple, and lie down in a dark room and listen to Hello Earth through to The Morning Fog again, and in your mind's eye picture a girl in the sea just after she's had a shipwreck happen to her, and she's annoyed she doesn't have her transistor radio with her to cheer herself up, and keep herself awake, anyway she slips into a coma and has some very bad dreams, but she knows she really has to stay awake, or else she'll die, but she wonders anyway what it would be like to just let it happen and to be a ghost in her own house, and then she remembers how good it is/was to be alive so she gets rescued instead, and she's happy about that. I remember the day this record came out, there were a couple of dozen people in my room listening to it that afternoon, it was a big deal, and I was so stoned I actually thought it was me under the ice for a second, what a fright I got. You may have heard music like this made since 1985, but you'll struggle to find anything quite like it from before then. She had been building up to this musical moment for years and didn't disappoint. Kate Bush is the dog's bollocks, probably the greatest female artists the UK produced last century, honestly. I think you would probably enjoy her later work more than her earlier so I would point you in the direction of her most recent work, 2011's '50 Words For Snow', especially the first 3 tracks, which you should hold off on until it's proper snowing, then you MUST listen to them with snowflakes. Seriously, one's about a snowflake, one's about an old woman who fell in a lake and drowned and one's about how a snowman melts and soaks your sheets if you take him to bed... what's not to love?
If I had to pick just one album as my favourite, this would be it. She's also one of my fave artists of all time. Her work is so diverse, all of it great. For another concept album by her, check out 'The Dreaming'. It's mindblowingly crazy and fun.
Some recommendations M83 - Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts Wolf Parade - Apologies to the Queen Mary The Fall - Hex Enduction Hour Keep it up! Love the vids.
Her previous album “The Dreaming” is weird as hell. It’s great.
My favorite of her albums, and also the first one she produced herself. Incredibly creative stuff.
Was about to say, surely will be his fave it’s incredible and a clear foundation of all modern experimental pop
I never understand people who dislike the length of Cloudbusting😅 i could listen to that song for 10 minutes!
"But if they're Hounds of Love they're not gonna hurt you, right?"
You would think that...
Running Up That Hill is a plea for men and women to understand each other by taking an effort to stand in each others places and see how it feels to live the life "god" has given each of us. A plea for more understanding in the world.
Or simply people/communities that stand in relationship to each other
Let's gooo this guy never misses
You should also react to The Dreaming or The Kick Inside if you feel like it!
Smags you are a legend for reacting to this. Cloudbusting is one of the best songs ever
The chants in 'waking the witch' are ancient sea shanties. The voice of the demon witch finder is Kates voice slowed down!
WE NEED YOU TO DO THE DREAMING!!!
These final 7 tracks are the sections of one whole piece entitled The Ninth Wave, it is a dramatic epic which deals with the theme of drowning and the depths of the sea as an expression of the deep personal and collective unconscious. This epic was a masterstroke from one of the most important artists of our time.

She then slips into the depths of her subconscious, into the past, into the present as a disembodied spirit, and into the future , seeing herself as an old woman telling her that she must not die, or the old woman would not exist , she, said "c mon and let me live!!"
Then seeing everything from far above, even the very storm that stranded her in the water, we get the sense of drifting further away from life, deeper into darkness, UNTIL...
A sudden awakening,,either being incarnated as the morning fog, the light through tbe fog, or perhaps she was rescued and survived the near death ordeal. She awakens to a stronger sense of life. This is genius...
Understanding what the ninth wave is about makes the album so much better imo, its definitely a tough first listen
I was fascinated by the second half of album the first time. I loved the immediate appeal of the singles from the first half but the darker more cinematic second half really drew me in even more.
@@HerveBoisde I'd agree, I love waking the witch
You should do either like clockwork by queens of the stone age or norman fucking rockwell by lana del rey
Oh yeah, I NEED him to react to Lana del Rey, especially NFR which is my favorite album of her ❤
I see Running Up That Hill as being more about gender, sexuality and the relationship between partners. Maybe I'm misreading it but honestly that's how I first heard it/ saw it with the music video.
As far as I remember, according to Bush it's about wanting to swap places with the opposite sex (a partner in a relationship) to understand them better.
Yup, you've got it!
love seeing this album appreciated !!! I loop it all day long. watching you without me is my favourite, it amazes me
Peter gabriel's 'So' and iii/3 are two great Art pop albums you should react to ❤

💜 Kate Bush > Madonna. Kate is the epitome of an artistic singer, dancer and pianist. She wrote her first song at 13 and was discovered by non other than, David Gilmore. She’s a living legend. 💜
Songwriter composer producer, arranger
Kate is also a brilliant producer. People seem to ignore that talent yet it's one of the biggest aspects of her artistry.
The transition from Hounds of Love to whatever that song was at the end was a moment
This album I didn't exactly get the first time, but upon further listens it has grown and grown and now it's easily in my top 10

Oh my... 😅 I don't think I can stomach it lol

Would love to see a reaction to Peter Gabriel’s “So” album. Imo one of the best pop albums ever and it features a breathtaking duet song with Kate Bush called “Don’t Give Up.” Also recommend Peter Gabriel III and IV.
Yes! They're similar in many ways
The first 2 LP I bought: SO and Hounds of Love ❤
Peter Gabriel's music is also stunning!!
Kate Bush is the best, please check out more of her stuff 🙏 My favorite albums of hers are Never For Ever and The Dreaming
Kate's first album, "The Kick Inside" which contains songs written when Kate was a teenager, is quite stunning in its maturity and choice of topics, which include suicide, incest and outright lust!
hello earth is objectively the greatest song of all time
I am in complete awe of that song. Every time I hear it I feel like my spirit is ascending to another dimension.
Honestly you would love Violent Femmes' self titled - it's a well-timed masterpiece as well as a generally dynamic and clever collection of cathartic, poppy but not at all, punk tracks that allow you to jump, sing, cry, and pound angry fists
One of, if not the best, album of the 80's
Wuthering heights is my favorite song by her
One thing to notice about this album is that there isn't a single cymbal or hi-hat in the percussion.
Yes Kate banned them for this album
where’s the smags christmas album

something that just occurred to me would be awesome for u to react to wouod be different class by pulp
