Actually BFPO is British Forces Post Office. In those two lines, "our little army boy | is coming home from BFPO," she is saying he was coming home, not as a passenger, but as cargo. "I've a bunch of purple flowers | To decorate a mammy's hero" - purple flowers show she is proud of her boy. With that opening she expresses the horrible mixture of pride and pain felt by the loved ones of those who have died in battle, and does so in a manner that has never been done with such eloquence.
A lot of the lyrics in this song are specifically British and hard for American people to make sense of, which isn't made easier by the difficulty making out a lot of the words. It's worth doing a little research to read and understand the vocabulary, such as BFPO, because the song really does not convey its full resonance when we gloss over these terms. At least for me, I got the gist of the song, which is really obvious, but when I realized there's a narrative throughline of the remains of a young man being shipped home in the mail to his family, who later cry over what's left of him, reduced to a "tin box," made the song a lot more potent than just the general observation of lost potential. He's not just never going to become a politician or a musician; he's dead meat shipped as a parcel by the postal service, burned to ash and dumped into a cold metal box. His spirit was wasted and his body was literally processed by governmental agencies as a waste product. Devastating.
ive been listening for years and this song was sad but knowing that makes it worse. also he doesn't seem to realize the draft for nam was active in UK too
@@fatterpillar America ask for help from Britain in Vietnam as we had experience from Burma( now called Myanmar) but British gov at the time ( Labour)did not want to get involved.
That's Kate's logo on their sleeves, I was thinking that BFPO is British Forces Posted Overseas, but not 100% on that. I love the way Kate approaches a topic, it's an anti war song but from the perspective of the grieving mother.
KT is Kate's symbol that she used for the KT Bush Band (formed in 1977, with members Brian Bath, Vic King, Del Palmer, and Kate) when she played the pubs before the release of her debut album. Kate also discretely places the "KT" symbol somewhere on the cover of each of her albums to challenge fans to find it.
Another thing to note that the child featured in the video clip is her own son. To emphasize the familial connection of mother and son. Very subtle but many thingsKate does changes are.
ruclips.net/video/83W4KtPRXR4/видео.html "Moments of Pleasure," by Kate Bush. In this song from Kate's seventh album The Red Shoes Kate pays tribute to friends and family who have passed away. "George the Wipe" was a tape op at Townhouse Studios who back in 1981 accidentally wiped a whole song that had been recorded for her album The Dreaming. "Maureen" was her Aunt. "Bubba" was one of her dancers, his name was Gary Hurst. "S'Murph" was her guitarist Alan Murphy, "Teddy" John Barratt was her assistant engineer on The Dreaming and Never For Ever albums. "Michael" Powell was the director of The Red Shoes movie. And "Bill"Duffield was a Lighting Engineer on her very first live tour. Composer and musician Michael Kamen arranged and conducted the orchestra for this song, expanding on Kate's original piano accompaniment.
The song relates to the futility of joining the army. The dead soldier is being shipped back home . Give him all your stripes and ribbons. Now he's sitting in his hole (grave) He might as well have buttons and bows.
This was the first Kate Bush video I had ever seen. it got me hooked. Them Heavy People and Babooshka may be my favorites now. close third is her and david Gilmour doing Comfortably Numb.
Our little army boy is coming home from BFPO (British Forces Post Office) I've a bunch of purple flowers to decorate a mammy's hero Mourning in the aerodrome, the weathers warm but he is colder Four men in uniform to carry home my little soldier What could he do ? He could have been a rock star .. but he didn't have the money for a guitar He could have been a politician .. but he never had a proper education. He could have been a father .. but he never even made it to his 20s What a waste ! Army Dreamers !!
The music box effect you are talking about is the tinkling sounds and the fact that the song is written in 3/4 time, waltz rhythm. Songs that are written in waltz time are a rarity nowadays. I would direct you to Rebel Drones "Drugs" which is written as a waltz, a psychedelic waltz at that. Very beautiful.
Not strictly true - she wrote the song to express the futility of war generally, as well as the deeper subjects of loss, grief and waste of life, experienced by a mother.
Some of the lyrics at the beginning remind me of Elvis Costello's Oliver's Army lyric, implying that it is often the working class young men, who lack opportunities, who go off to war.
BFPO stands for either, 'Brish Forces Post Office', every British overseas base had it's own BFPO number as it's address, or... "British forces Posted Overseas. In the same vein there was BFPO Radio and BFPO TV. As for which conflict? The major theme is non-specific. However she deliberately sings it with a slight Irish accent and 'The Troubles' were ongoing in Northern Ireland at that time. Most British combat regiments would receive multiple postings to Northern Ireland, during that period. Also, I'm sure I can see the colours of the Irish flag in that explosion. Though I may be imaging this last one. I'm very tired atm. ;) :)
BFPO is British Forces Post Office. The Radio and TV is BFBS British Forces Broadcasting Service. BFBS have radio stations in nearly every garrison town as well as overseas.
@@jimmynaylor1759 - Yes, you're right. Don't know why I wrote BFPO, lol. I must have been tired. I lived in places with BFPO addresses and listened to BFBS radio. Some time ago, mind you. I seem to remember the BFBS radio's catchphrase being, 'it's good ere innit?'. :)
Kate is a tough girl. For "Hello Earth" she sang the whole song swimming in a tank (it is about a shipwrecked person drifting out there, no chance of rescue). She suffered from hypothermia because of the cold water, you can even hear the quiver in her voice.
@@klzn correct. "And dream of sheep" is the title of the video I meant (ruclips.net/video/_256xd9N27o/видео.html). Judging from the "tisch": Servus aus München. Any connections with Finland (Suomi)? I am literally feeding ravens.
So the song, is specifically about a mother's love for her son. It's a generic love, for a generic son. But, it's a son who wants to join the army and go off to war. The mother thinks, what a waste, my son could have been so much more. Army Dreamers.
She has big Irish connections too. Spent much of her youth in Youghal Co. Waterford. South of Ireland. Her dad Dr. Bush was the local gp. Lots of influence musically. She took the best from everything/culture and worked it in an ingenious way. Love her for over 30 years. Xx
Maybe so but shes English. Winds me up how idiots think if you have one Irish relative, all of a sudden that cancels out any English blood - it doesn't. Never mind the fact she was entirely brought up and educated in England...

There are a few if you search. My favourite is Rebel Drones, "Drugs". They are quite rare and are thusly distinctive in their sound. Waltz is usually quite hard to manipulate around rock themes.
From what I remember from my time in the military in the 80s, "BFE" was originally "Bum F**ck Egypt", not "Butt F**ck Egypt", but it has probably evolved since that time.

British Forces Post Office (joke - that's all the mother knows of where her doomed son has been). She insisted it wasn't about the British forces in Northern Ireland, but...given her ancestry... For Brits aged 40-60 this is hitting the nostalgia motherlode. For men my age, watching this video = knotted up with gut-wrenching adoration (though not quite as much as if it was Liz Fraser...no, that's just me).
What about her ancestry? She is English. One or two Irish relatives in her family tree does not alter that fact. I laugh at how people think one drop of Irish blood or lineage completely dilutes and cancels out any other nationality...it doesnt. Most Irish people have a few English relatives in their ancestry so does that make them all of a sudden English?? Anyone that thinks this is truly an imbecile.
