Kate Bush explained the song in an 1985 interview like this: "It's about a relationship between a man and a woman. They love each other very much, and the power of the relationship is something that gets in the way. It creates insecurities. It's saying if the man could be the woman and the woman the man, if they could make a deal with God, to change places, that they'd understand what it's like to be the other person and perhaps it would clear up misunderstandings. You know, all the little problems; there would be no problem."

Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel .."don't give up"...it's a beautiful beautiful song and the music video is equally beautiful 😊

Kate Bush is really a musical genius.

Love Kate Bush - she's nothing short of a genius and completely unique. The Hounds of Love album is brilliant first song to last.

It is a shame that Kate is not well known in America. But in the U.K, throughout Europe, Australia, and Japan, Kate is an icon. She is a true original, there's just no one like her - a musical genius. By the time Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour discovered her in 1973 at the age of 15, she had already written over 250 songs. A brilliant and innovative composer, lyricist, singer (with a 4-octave voice), pianist, dancer, mime, choreographer, record producer, video producer & director - she even helped develop the first cordless headset microphone that she used on tour. Hugely influential and highly respected by musicians worldwide, Kate was one of the first female musicians to take total production and artistic control over her work. She’s been a real pioneer for women in the music industry for the last 40 years. First woman to have a #1 self-written song in the UK charts. First woman to have an album debut at #1. First woman to have a Top 10 album in each of the last four decades. She has had 25 Top 40 singles, 10 albums on the Top 10 Albums Charts, nominated 13 times for British Phonographic Industry awards and 3 Grammy awards, an Ivor Novella Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music, and appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2013 for her honored services to music. In September of 2020 Kate was honored as a fellow of the prestigious Ivors Academy for songwriters and composers. In 2014 she returned to the stage and sold out over 100,000 tickets in less than 15 minutes (a record for the Hammersmith Apollo). Her 22 performances were highly acclaimed (named as "the #1 live music event of the year" by many music publications) and she became the first woman to have 8 albums in the top 40 charts at the same time (third behind only Elvis and The Beatles).

2 weeks later and this song is #1 on iTunes thanks to Stranger Things. Your timing of the review of this song is impeccable. Song is 🔥! Shout out to all the Stranger Things fans!

One of Britain's true National Treasures.

Kate is one of my all-time favourite artists .. Hugely creative, and with a distinctly individual style and sound, she has a vast repertoire of amazing songs .. Her most well known song worldwide, "Wuthering Heights", is iconic and is definitely worth your time to check it out .. Cheers, Wayne

Kate Bush is a beautiful musical genius.

If you haven't reacted to it? This woman's work by her is stunning! It shows her voice more too.

"This Woman's Work" and "Cloudbusting" are excellent songs. Good videos for both, especially "Cloudbusting" which is (more or less) a true story, believe it or not.

Kate Bush is one of the most famous alternative vocalists ever, over this side of the world.

Kate Bush is is a child prodigy and a genius on many levels. Definitely check out more of her music. Also, she is an artist when it comes to dance choreography & mime as well, so I highly recommend watching her official music videos.

This song just went to No1 because it features in Stranger Things 4 released at the wkend ;)

Finally you’ve got to Kate Bush

I'm glad you did Kate Bush she is in my top 5 all time favorite artist. This album HOUNDS OF LOVE is pure genius.

Kate Bush and Bjork are the queens of the music world, imo. The gold standards.

"Cloudbusting" is another one of her masterpieces.

Kate Bush is an enigma...there are very few as talented as her, VERY few. If you ever delve into an artist off the books let it be Kate Bush, no bad songs and will change your life. X

Now listen to her song ‘The Man with the Child in his Eyes’……and when you do just think that she originally wrote this song when she was only 13yrs old. Kate Bush one of the greatest singer / songwriters ever….welcome to this amazing rabbit hole of Kate Bush…..

Kate is one of the great geniuses of the last four decades. Almost every female music artist in the last twenty years owes much to Kate, who was a true pioneer. Check out Breathing Night of the Swallow Babooshka The Sensual World But most of all, I highly recommend her 7-part epic masterpiece, The Ninth Wave. In the last

The incomparable Kate Bush. This song is about two people in love swapping places so they could experience the other person's point of view emotionally and physically. As in so many Kate Bush songs, there could also be hidden sexual references. I think she uses metaphors like running up buildings or running up hills to describe physical erections. In the climax to the album Aerial, after a day of wandering in the English countryside and swimming naked in the moonlit sea, the lovers return to their house and bed. where they go 'up on the roof' and watch the 'light climbing up the aerial'. In Running Up That Hill, she says 'See how deep the bullet lies', this could refer to emotional hurt done to the other person but it could also describe the sexual act; this would explain why she says 'It doesn't hurt me'. Hounds of Love is often considered her greatest album, but my personal favourite is Aerial; it's a masterpiece.

You should listen to The Man with the Child in His Eyes which Kate wrote when she was 13 years old! She is a true genius.

You hit gold discovering Kate Bush...enjoy your journey.

I came here after Stranger Things season 4.

One of a kind she is....pure talent... You should listen to Kate Bush - Cloud Busting.

interesting you reviewed this just prior to it being used in Stranger things. Its now #1 on US itunes & every itunes worldwide. Its such an 80s classic thats so unique. In the UK its almost an anthem & was even played at the 2012 London Olympic opening ceremony as a British classic.

Kate Bush is the next level of human evolution.

I highly recommend her song Cloudbusting.

Kate was one of the first musicians to use the Fairlight, a music synthesiser that can be programmed with any sound, and she uses it to good effect on this and other tracks and albums. You can't just listen to one Kate Bush song to get a feel of what she does as an artist, because she's so incredibly versatile. Maybe react to a whole album to get a more rounded idea of who she is and what she does-- I promise you won't be disappointed.

I have never seen a Kate Bush reaction without the official video ....

WATCH THE VIDEO! Not only a truly talented musician, she’s a beautiful dancer.

I LOVE Kate Bush... She's so talented, great voice. Her last album which had a huge gap from the previous, was thankfully not a let down

80's synth-pop is EVERYTHING. The song is about 2 people having completely different experiences of the same thing. One having it easy, the other in pain.

Kate the most unique, Kate the angel, Kate the diviner, the rainbow after the storm

Kate is an amazing creative artist. He videos are amazing. This womans work is a must to listen to

From what I know about Brad’s musical tastes (Alanis, Bjork), I’m predicting Kate Bush is going to be right up his alley!

It's funny how many metal artists love Kate Bush. I first heard of her through Cronos, the vocalist/bassist of black metal pioneers Venom.

I love how Stanger Things brought a whole new generation to Kate Bush music.

Since most people viewing this now are relating this to "Stranger Things", I just want to add that this song was perfect for *that* scene. It may have more impact if you connect the two. Very powerful and moving in the scenario.

Brad my man, you kicked a rock, this song was always timeless. The recent success of this sound and song proves that you don’t know what you have until it’s gone. Then you stumble across it as a reaction video and it has found some new success. This song was already great.

Kate Bush is worth the deep dive. She’s brilliant.

Such a classic eighties song with beautiful covers by Placebo or Within Temptation.

Kate Bush is the ORIGINAL Bjork!!!! She says she gets the music and lyrics simultaneously and directs her own videos. VISIONARY! Check out 'Army Dreamers', 'Under Ice', 'Delius' and 'Houdini' BEAUTIFUL soundscapes!

Kate Bush was a ballet dancer and both her music and her physical expression are so closely linked. Please check more of her music but you must watch her videos. They are part of the fairy world of Kate Bush.

Finally! This woman is a flat out genius and her catalogue is diverse and extensive. Was discovered by Dave Gilmour of Pink Floyd.and has influenced so many artists. Just brilliant. The video is brilliant too.

The official Kate Bush videos are worth watching. Most involve dance (Kate is very passionate about dance, and feature her on the dances) and add another artistic aspect to the songs, including this one.

Finally Kate Bush! She is so creative and revolutionary. The Kate Bush rabbit hole is deeeep! One slight caution though. It often takes people a few listens to "get" her songs. That happened to me when first listening to the album, "The Dreaming". At first I was like "this is...odd". Now I think its pure genius and its one of my favorites.

Genius. She is amazing. I could not love an artist more. I cry when I hear her voice.

Kate Bush and Bjork are my favorite two female artists - no question. Elizabeth Fraser and FKA Twigs a close second. Bush is a genius.

Check out her songs "Wuthering Heights" or "Army Dreamers" or "The Infant Kiss". You can't go wrong with her early songs/albums.

Maybeone f the best descriptions for Kate Bush I ever heard was when I was DJ in College. Someone wrotr on the album jacket for this album was: If Peter Gabriel's parents had a girl, she would be Kate Bush. It is from the 80's. Kate Bush is a wonderful artist and you should check out more of her stuff to give it a chance.

I had such a crush on Kate.... amazing!

There are so many extraordinary songs by Kate Bush. She's a one off. Unique. A genius.

When this masterpiece was last in the UK charts, I was still at school, as a teenager in 80's Britain (one of Thatcher's Children....). I daily thank God that I grew up in that period, it was awesome !!!

This Woman's Work from her is amazing.

This song is Big Boi’s favorite track of all time! He loves Kate Bush and I think it’s for good reason she is a musical genius, check out Wuthering Heights it’s a real trip and she wrote it when she was 15! David Gilmour from Pink Floyd discovered her and knew she was a phenom from a young age

This song in a nutshell sums up the genius/brilliance of Kate Bush, she's a one off. Nobody else can probably compare. A true Legend and a National Treasure.

Love it. Kate Bush is a legend.

You guys should react to… Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights 🎸🤘

Any future Kate Bush song reactions - please WATCH THE VIDEO. She was a very interesting video artist as well as a genius musician and singer.

This whole album, The Hounds Of Love, is fantastic! 👍🔥🔥🔥

Kate Bush is one of those artists that you have to watch the video. She is a composer, choreographer, dancer, musician, singer, and producer. Her product is all of it. I always thought of this song meaning as a struggle, to keep going, to communicate, to love and feel a relationship. Anyway, love the song! She does one called Ribberband Girl that kind of has the same message, but more fun and updeat.

Kate Bush was/is a global success, although in America she failed to break. She is considered very highly on the music scene and is the first woman to have eight albums in the Official Albums Chart at the same time. If you're new to her music it can be a slow burn experience. IMO she is one of the greatest artists that we have today. This Womans Work also covered by Maxwell is a great place to start.

Kate Bush is amazing. She was massively underrated for a long time. Try 'Wuthering Heights', the hit that launched her.

Totally unique, totally brilliant Kate is a genius.

Legendary song, Kate bush got an incredible voice

I get that chlorine feel. In the 80s, synths and digital drums were all 8bit, maybe 16, and so were digital recordings. Many embraced it in factory settings, which made for that Plastic Fantastic sound. Many hated and opposed it, they were old fashioned within a day. A very few really understood it and were able to play around with it. This particular example of the Fairlight wasn’t quite there yet, but hey. Everybody’s gotta learn somehow

Been watching you guys for a while and you (Brad) smiling at the start like when you heard Delores and Alanis made me chuckle. Her voice (Kate’s) will give those smiles for sure. Try This Woman’s Work (Maxwell covered it). You won’t be disappointed

Love Kate bush! One of the most prolific female songwriters in history 🙏

Crazy that y’all listened to this so recently and then Stranger Things season 4 comes and makes it a chart topper once again ! We love to see it

our Kate has more magical genius in her little finger than most artists combined.. ♥️

She's the most talented Women to come out of the U.K. The Videos are a work of art that brings both the song and vision together. Enjoy her you'll both love her.

Oh man, you need to dive into Kate Bush. She's one of the most genius singer / songwriter / performers of the last few decades. She's far from conventional so some of it may sound offbeat or random, but once you get past that, she's just sublime.

Neo-soul R&B singer, Maxwell covered one of her songs in the 2000s. She's a highly respected singer. Very original, like Bjork. Both have amazing voices and unique music and videos.

Her voice is amazing!

In addition to her being a one-of-a-kind brilliant musician and artist, the other thing that endears me to Kate Bush is her personality. As a long time fan (I first saw her on Saturday Night Live in December of 1978 and was mesmerized), I have watched, listened to, or read nearly every interview, documentary, and article done on her. She is a fearless performer, but off the stage she is a shy, intelligent, down-to-earth, normal person (who loves to do the housework and gardening), shuns the spotlight, and is still amazed at all the accolades she receives. It is a universal consensus from people who have met her and talked to her that she is an incredibly humble, gracious, sweet, kind, witty, generous, caring, and all around wonderful human being. There is an often repeated phrase that people say about her (fans, critics, fellow musicians, etc.): "everybody loves Kate."

kate, another amazing woman who lit up my childhood with her amazing music, keep on with these great selections fam ;)

I've heard this song a few times, but never really paid attention. Her voice is amazing. I laughed when Brad said, "I don't know" and then the outro started. :D

What atalent. She was original that's for sure. Her eclectic deliveries makes her a unique impression on you.If you can please check out the official video and you might agree. An artiste for real.

An all-time classic. Some great covers of this out there, too.

Kate is one of if not the most talented female artists, wrote a lot of her songs in her earlier teens, massive talent 😍

Discovered by Pink Floyd Guitarist David Gilmore at age 15. Kate Bush released her first album in 1978 and it immediately got airplay and hit the charts. She was 19. A polymath, someone excellent in a number of specialties - she has been called a musical genius. Her singing is dramatic, emotional, and spiritual. Her subject matter is eclectic. Here is the lyrics to "Breathing" - which is a kind of apocolyptic horror end of the world love story. Outside Gets inside Through her skin. I've been out before But this time it's much safer in. Last night in the sky, Such a bright light. My radar send me danger But my instincts tell me to keep Breathing, ("Out, in, out, in, out, in...") Breathing, Breathing my mother in, Breathing my beloved in, Breathing, Breathing her nicotine, Breathing, Breathing the fall-out in, Out in, out in, out in, out in. We've lost our chance. We're the first and the last, ooh, After the blast. Chips of Plutonium Are twinkling in every lung. I love my Beloved, ooh, All and everywhere, Only the fools blew it. You and me Knew life itself is Breathing, ("Out, in, out, in, out...") Breathing, Breathing my mother in, Breathing my beloved in, Breathing, Breathing her nicotine, Breathing, Breathing the fall-out in, Out in, out in, out in, out in, Out in, out in, out in, out... ("Out!") "In point of fact it is possible to tell the ("Out!") difference between a small nuclear explosion and a large one by a very simple method. The calling card of a nuclear bomb is the blinding flash that is far more dazzling than any light on earth--brighter even than the sun itself--and it is by the duration of this flash that we are able to determine the size ("What are we going to do without?") of the weapon. After the flash a fireball can be seen to rise, sucking up under it the debris, dust and living things around the area of the explosion, and as this ascends, it soon becomes recognisable as the familiar "mushroom cloud". As a demonstration of the flash duration test let's try and count the number of seconds for the flash emitted by a very small bomb; then a more substantial, medium-sized bomb; and finally, one of our very powerful, "high-yield" bombs "What are we going to do without?" Ooh please! "What are we going to do without?" Let me breathe! "What are we going to do without?" Ooh, Quick! "We are all going to die without!" Breathe in deep! "What are we going to die without?" Leave me something to breathe! "We are all going to die without!" Oh, leave me something to breathe! "What are we going to do without?" Oh, God, please leave us something to breathe!" "We are all going to die without Oh, life is--Breathing.

god I love Kate Bush. She is like if Bjork and Peter Gabriel had a baby. I saw the video for this song when I was 5 years old, running around the house and it completely stopped me in my tracks. I was so mesmerized, and this song still hits me hard every time I hear it. Hounds of Love and Cloudbusting are some other favorites. For a good time, watch her video for Babooshka.

Kate Bush. Outstanding talent. Try This Woman’s Work. You’ll know the song. Maxwell covered it, but this song shows how great her voice is.

Try Kate Bush, Experiment IV. Avoid Wuthering Heights, an early song. To be fair she is one of the most influential songwriters of the 70s and Eighties.

Hounds of Love is one of the few truly perfect albums. Beautiful and evocative from beginning to end.

Brings me so much happy that you're reacting to Kate. Running Up That Hill was the first song I heard of hers when I was a senior in high school. I had to special order her album, Hounds of Love at the record store in my hometown. From that record on I was hooked, I ordered all the rest and have loved her ever since.

LOVED this back in the day. Had the 12" which IIRC wasn't much longer just benefited from bigger grooves. Really pleased you're getting into Kate Bush. Still love the early stuff. The Kick Inside is an astonishing album. Not a single dud. 𝅘𝅥𝅮 She's still a-waiting in her big brass bed ... 𝅗𝅥

Big Boi from Outkast says this is one of his favorite songs...recommend watching that interview...it's worth it

Try, 'Sat in your lap'... 'This Woman's Work'... and 'Cloudbusting' for more Kate vibes! There'd be no Gaga without Kate for sure, as well as inspiring so many others with her unique musical style, she always pushed boundaries in terms of performance and fashion in her videos fiercely defending her own vision of how things ought to be. Writer, producer and performer... Kate is a legend.

that voice the crafting of the song ..the lyrical drama...amazing artist ..kate bush

You need to listen to this woman’s work by Kate Bush you will end up in tears

Before Bjork there was Kate Bush, a completely unique artist with a great back catalogue. Woman’s work, Don’t give up, Army Dreaming, and Cloudbusting are musts

Never heard Kate Bush before. That was incredibly good.

Great reaction! 🔥 For Brad, a song that you can hone in on Kate's voice with the instrumentals being more complimentary rather than a distraction, I suggest "This Woman's Work" (1989); preferably the music video. This song depicts the unpredictable nature of childbirth through the eyes of the man. This song was famously covered by R & B singer Maxwell (also a good song albeit in a different interpretation). Kate Bush is definitely in a league of her own who inspired many artists who came after her (Tori Amos, Bjork, Lorde to name a few). Kate is every bit of a theatrical/visual performer/storyteller as she is a musical genius/writer/artist and her extensive/legendary discography proves it. Definitely an artist to react to in future installments

Love Kate she wrote some amazing songs, man with a child in his eyes.

A musical genius.

To listen to Kate you should see her perform on stage to rely understand. It's like a modern opera.

LOVE AND ANGER is a BANGER of a song she released int the 90's that is BEYOND Underrated and Definitely worth a Reaction!
