Bill Whelan is the composer who made the Irish arrangements for Kate Bush on Hounds of Love & The Sensual World. He remembered working with Kate as an experience completely focused on music, far from ego. He witnessed one of Kate’s special qualities: "the music always came first"

The performance of "Running up that Hill" on Top of the Pops was one of Kate Bush's rare appearances on British TV at the time. The song rose straight to the Top 3 in the UK charts thanks to this performance.

Très bonne journée avec @StationSimone ! Il y a 48 ans, le 2 mai 1978, Kate Bush devenait numéro 1 au Royaume-Uni, avec l'album "The Kick Inside", faisant d'elle la 1ère artiste féminine auteure-compositrice à atteindre ce classement "Them Heavy People" (Xmas Special, décembre 1979)

The band PAIN (punk/dub, UK) opens “Eastern Dub (Wilhelm Reich In Hell)” with a slowed-down sample of Cloudbusting by Kate Bush, used without permission. Not a coincidence: In the song title, "Wilhelm Reich" is the Cloudbuster inventor who inspired the story behind Kate’s song ☁️

I love this performance so much, it's really close to my heart

"A música The Sensual World, da qual o título [do álbum] foi tirado, é realmente sobre a sensualidade do planeta e como raramente temos chances de vivenciá-la. Presos em cidades, tendemos a esquecer quão bonito é o planeta em que vivemos" Kate Bush em entrevista de 1990

Você sabia? Antes de RUTH viralizar em 2022, a última música de Kate a ter alcançado o top 2 em qualquer chart no mundo foi Rocket Man O cover reggae com gaita irlandesa alcançou #2 na Austrália em 1992

Kate Bush - Dreamtime (1982)

Bexleyheath, England. 1958. A girl is born into a house where sound never stops. Piano keys under her father's fingers. Folk music from her mother's record player. Brothers filling every room with instruments and noise. This isn't a family that tolerates creativity. This is a family that breathes it. By eleven, Catherine Bush is writing songs that make no sense for a child. Death. Longing. Gothic literature. Her melodies don't sound like the radio. They sound like something pulled from another century, another world. At fifteen, her brother passes a demo tape to David Gilmour of Pink Floyd. He listens as a favor. What he hears stops him cold. This teenager from the suburbs has written something he's never encountered before. He pays for studio time himself. Gets her in front of EMI Records. At seventeen, she signs one of the biggest deals in music. Then EMI does something almost unthinkable. They don't rush her. They give her three years to grow, to write, to become who she needs to be. 1977. Kate reads Wuthering Heights. The ghost of Catherine Earnshaw crying out across the moors for Heathcliff. She doesn't just read it. She inhabits it. She writes a song from the ghost's perspective, her voice climbing into ranges most pop singers won't touch. Her label hates it. Too strange. Too theatrical. Radio will never play it. Kate is nineteen years old, completely unknown, and she draws a line: Release this song, or I won't release the album. A teenage girl threatening a major record label. In 1977, women didn't do this. You compromised. You smiled. You let men decide. EMI blinks first. January 1978. "Wuthering Heights" hits the airwaves. Radio hosts are baffled. Listeners are obsessed. Within weeks, it's number one. Kate Bush becomes the first British woman to top the charts with a song she wrote herself. Then, after one theatrical tour in 1979, she vanishes from the stage for 35 years. She retreats into her studio, releases music when she wants, refuses interviews, ignores industry pressure. Decades pass. She becomes a legend by disappearing. 2022. Stranger Things features "Running Up That Hill." Thirty-seven years after its release, it goes viral. At 63, Kate Bush becomes the oldest female artist to hit number one with her own song. The same woman. First and oldest. A ghost haunting her own industry. via the History Drop #KateBush #StrangerThings #FeministFriday
