There's nobody that sings like Kate Bush. She dances like nobody's watching 😂 A total treasure 🤘

Kate Bush was writing songs at 11, and Wuthering Heights she wrote, which went to number one in Britain when she was 19. Kate Bush is incredibly talented, I am 58 now, and I see her as the one of the greatest British artists of my generation and am glad that younger generations are getting to hear her through excellent reviews such as this channel.

Wuthering Heights is the name of the house in the book of the same name. It was written by Emily Brontë. This was Kate's first release and came out in 1978. At the time, she was the youngest female artiste to reach number 1 in the charts. When she wrote the lyrics to "Wuthering Heights" she hadn't actually read the book. She's still going, writes all her own songs and very much like Prince used to, plays all the instruments herself. I've been a fan of hers since I first heard "Wuthering Heights" when it was first released when I was 8. She's an absolute musical living legend. I recommend you listening/reacting to "Experiment IV" (that's 4, not IV. It's not about hospital drips😁) and "Moments of Pleasure", with the videos. Each of her songs is a story in itself and you really have to listen to the lyrics to appreciate what she's singing about. Thankyou for this video - I love that you're listening to and appreciate Kate's work - and yes, she's a trained dancer as well. 🙂👍

And please consider that this was from 1979, the very first beginning of her career and her first single. She even evolved after that. One of the greatest performers of all time, I'm so happy for her that Stranger Things finally achieved that she not only got recognized in the US as well as the great artist she is, but also that people all around the world now pay tribute to her the way it should have been for decades. Kate Bush to me is like a female David Bowie, a complete artist who can do it all: write, sing, dance and perform on the highest level, versatile and artistic to the bone. That is how it's done, gentlemen. I love Kate Bush and so should you.

wuthering heights the book is set in Yorkshire, England and wuthering is part of the local dialect for windswept. The book is a famous love story between Catherine and Heathcliff . spoiler alert Cathy dies and come back as a ghost , haunting Heathcliff for the rest of his life. Moors are a type of British landsacpe whci is like a hilly wilderness. This will help you make sense of the lyrics. Kate Bush was the first female singer song writer to have a number one song in the UK with her own composition. She is also a trained dancer. There is now a worldwide movement called Wuthering heights days where people gather in public places dressed as Kate Bush and dance to wuthering heights. Mostly women but also the odd beardy bloke. they are common in Australia and New Zealand uk and Scandinavia but also in USA and are in solidarity against domestic violence. Try googling them! the track is from about 1977. Unique .

Along with her sound engineer they developed the headset mic way back in the 70s. It enabled her to dance freely during the live shows

One of my biggest regrets in life was not seeing Kate sing live. Big regret. She was exceptional.

Beautiful song. One of my all time favorites. And I am a metalhead.

i'm a huge fan of hers. she's infinitely creative! she actually developed that microphone piece that attaches to the ear so she could perform and sing at the same time, on this tour.

She was discovered by of all people, David Gilmore of Pink Floyd. He helped produce her first demo tape and brought it to his label to get them to sign her.

Great reaction! The live version is a tremendous performance. But if you get the chance, do check out the studio recording where the entire vocal was done on a single take, and the official video(s). I prefer what is known as the "white dress" version where you really can get the feel of the song and that in this song Kate is assuming the persona of the ghost of one of the characters from the book of the same name. She has come to the bedroom window of her still alive one time lover "Heathcliff" calling to him to let her in... but she has come to steal his soul away. If you are looking for another of her songs to react to, then I guess you could a lot worse than go directly to one of Kate's most iconic videos - "Babooshka" - weird (yes a little) but wonderful (absolutely)!

You guys nailed it. She studied interpretative dance at the beginning of her career, and choreographed this massive stage show herself that went on tour at the age of 18. It probably gets mentioned elsewhere in the comments, but the whole concept of the headset microphone for stage performance didn’t exist before 1978; her and her crew engineered it out of a coat hanger so she could sing while dancing. Edit: I can’t believe you asked if she writes her own lyrics. She does everything. She produces her own albums. Back in the 80’s she was dating a professional session bass player, and she had him play for the album she was working on. She wasn’t satisfied, so she re-recorded all the parts herself. She can do it all.

thank you for digging this one up. every new Kate clip just enhances the myth.

I'm impressed. You're the first two young people I've seen who understand and appreciate Kate Bush. She's marvelous!

Good choice guys, thanks for showing me this live version... Kate Bush is legendary-incredible performer, writer and singer! plus shes mesmorizingly atractive👌 Babooshka should be next on the list!! ps. this song she wrote is based on the novel, of the same name.

The studio version of this song with version 1 (white dress) video takes you even more outside the box, putting her high range affected vocal, dance and mime skills to full effect. What you might not have picked up on, not knowing that this was based on the Emily Brontë novel, is that Kate was singing in character as a ghost come back to haunt her lover Heathcliff.

Kate is a genius. I’ve been a fan for decades.

She's really amazing. She probably wrote this when she was about 16. It's based on a part of the novel "Wuthering Heights", and the song is written from the point of view of Cathy's ghost, cold on the moors, knocking at the window asking to come in - a creepy and the most powerful scene in the book for me. A lot of people find this song weird. It's been one of my favourites since it came out.

Kate Bush is an absolute LEG. Others will comment on specifics of these vocals and performance but she has some amazing songs she sings more traditionally and beautifully. "This woman's work" is an absolute must. Others include my favourite "Moments of pleasure" "The man with the child in his eyes" "Wow" "Babooshka" "Cloud Busting" and many others.

If you would like to explore more of Kate’s genius I would recommend both ‘Cloudbusting’ and ‘This Woman’s Work’ music videos to give you a taste of two other styles of her singing, songwriting and visual presentation. The Cloudbusting video is like a mini movie, with a big name actor of that time costarring with Kate.

Love Kate! David Gilmour of Pink Floyd was her mentor when she was a very young teenager. He joins her live for a great rendition of her hit Running Up That Hill. Its worth checking out. Great stuff guys. Enjoy your channel...

She is the ghost of Catherine haunting her lover. Above the wind that howls across the moors at Wuthering Heights, he can hear her calling to him. She is dead before the novel proper even starts, but she dominates the story - A gothic tale written by a young woman scarcely much older than Kate Bush herself.

Oh Kate Bush is amazing isn't she, such a beautiful voice, This Woman's Work is one of my favourites by her ❤️ good reaction chaps! 😘

Just a note on the word "Wuthering". It's actually an old Yorkshire word (which is why you've never used it) and refers to the sound a strong wind makes as it blows around your house.

Kate wrote all her Lyrics and is an educated Ballet Dancer.

Never been so happy to see you guys react to a classic ancient tune. :) KB is fkin awesome, really glad you picked a live one because she has so much raw talent and there were no effects then, you hear every wobble and breath. Everything she does, notes and movements are all from her. Takes her years and years to write her music to get it exactly as she wants it to be. She wrote some dark dark shit. Try Breathing, the official video. It's dark as fuck when you get the subject matter. Timeless music. She smoked a lot, famously a lot of weed too. She cannot get those notes now, deep voice. Saw her live a few years back and it's a lovely rich deeper voice.

She's an enigma. Uber talented and yet as shy as all hell. She did astonishing backing vocals on the big country track "the Seer". Worth checking out.

Yeah, so captivating. The way she sings reminds me of Snow White. So enchanting! I tune myself down when I have a cold or when trying to do whistle register, cause I can’t do that. 😂

Wuther or not, Here we come " DUECES! " ✌🏻😸✌🏻

Thank you boys! You truly have no idea just how talented this lady is, honestly...most of this stuff she wrote as a child, insane! Maybe try Babushka next...damn I whacked a few out to that film clip as a kid, let alone being a banger song itself...more Bush please, can never get enough Bush right?

Fun fact: Wuthering Heights was one of Tupac’s favorite songs! 😎

Kate is a trained dancer and mime in addition to being a prolific songwriter, pianist, producer, video director and choreographer. Her dance teachers included Lindsay Kemp, who also taught dance and mime to David Bowie.

Katherine Bush. Should do BABUSHKA. Cant remember uf she was 16, or 18 in the video. Wuthering Heights is from A Bronty Sister Book

Some background on Wuthering Heights, which I hope that you will find interesting. A while before Wuthering Heights was written, a younger Kate managed to catch the tail end of a BBC adaptation of the Emily Bronte novel Wuthering Heights when the ghostly Cathy was outside a window of Heathcliff's house wanting to be let in. Kate shares the same Birthday as Emily Bronte and when she was young she was referred to as cathy. In order to get a feel for Cathy Kate read part of the book, interestingly when she did get round to reading all of it after finishing writing the song, Kate noticed certain phrases from parts that she hadn't initially read had ended up in the Lyrics anyway. Kate said that when she sung this song, she was Cathy, she was channelling the character. Kate's vocal performance is a single take with no edits. Kate had to fight her record company to get Wuthering Heights to be her debut single, EMI had chosen a completely different track "James and the Cold Gun" from her "The Kick Inside" album, in the end EMI released Wuthering Heights because they thought that it would fail and teach Kate a lesson, instead it became a worldwide smash hit. Hitting number 1 in Australia, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Portugal and the UK. It was at least a top 10 (or better) in nine other countries. A single chart performance that would only be surpassed in 2022 by "Running Up That Hill".. A common feature of Kate Bush songs is the use of unusual key changes and on occasion timing changes as well and Wuthering Heights is no different in that respect, Kate composes songs on the basis of what sounds good to her, such an approach ignoring musical convention and theory shouldn't work but it does! Between, the time Kate was signed by EMI when 16 and when starting work on "The Kick Inside" (which is a remarkable piece of work as a debut album), Kate took dance lessons including some from Lindsay Kemp who trained David Bowie. Oops, I should have added that Wuthering Heights was Kate's debut single and when it reached number 1 in the UK chart, Kate became the first female artist to have a self-written song reach the number 1 spot.

The ghost of Katherine is outside the window on a cold, windy night. She is trying to get inside Heathcliff's house. It is a dramatic book.

This womans work 👌🏼

Good Morning guys...I must say I never could have imagined what I just saw You react to. Kate Bush was very much a Performance Artist. I believe you should've listened to the actual recording vs a Live performance. For You Hollywood, she was groomed by Mr. DAVID Gilmore in the beginning of her career. She was very experimental during the early Music Video days. A very talented Lady. Very Romantic based. Kudos to you for diving deep. Big Hug for You both.

Wuthering is old Yorkshire dialect. Wuthering heights by Emily Bronte is a gothic novel from 1847 named after a house in the book up on the moors. The main protagonists of the book Heathcliffe and Kathy are in love but she spurns him for a richer suitor with more status. Heathcliffes obsession with Kathy grows even after she dies. One night Heathcliffe is beaconed on to the moors by Kathy’s ghost wrapping at the window. Kate bush is singing as Kathy’s ghost.

Kate Bush is a unique genius. Just start with her first album ‘The Kick Inside’ and work you way through her songs.. Was so lucky to see he live in 2014 (tickets were absolute goldust) it was mind blowing. So many people could not get tickets so I was so lucky.

I grew up on this song, I read the book because of her, bought her albums. Kate Bush is aaamazing.

Teenage me watched a video with this song one early evening before going to the youth center. Everyone had seen it. And loved it. A star was born.

Rocket’s Tail next👍😍 And woman’s work, cloudbusting, and the while ninth wave from hounds of love

Wuthering Heights is the name of the novel. She performs a character as a ghost trying to get into the window. The novel is a work of art and this song is several works of art about the original work of art (lyrics, music, dance). She gives all but her songs are outside of the frame of anything else out there. Great.

‘Lights on the Dashboard’ 😊😆

my mom listen to this song on the radio in 1978 ca. she loved it and bought some cassettes . my mom are now 56 years old

I really love how she made this live version with shrills in her voice which really makes it ghostly which is what she is singing about - the gost of Catherine in Wuthering Heights. A novel.

Paradise by the dashboard light is the meatloaf song you're thinking of, this reminds me of that song too, very theatrical. Babooshka is another great Kate Bush song

This was the closing number for her first concerts back in the late 70s, that's why her dance movements end up with her waving. I was at one of those concerts and remember seeing this tiny person leaping up and down waving like crazy at the audience. Her next concert tour was not for another 35 years and I was there again. This time the entire audience sang along to the chant at the end of the final encore track, Cloudbusting.

Loving this song and this live version was just amazing 😍

you guys surprised me. Glad to see that you dug this awesome tune.

Her christened name is Catherine I believe

Ghost haunting her Heathcliff, who did not want her to rest in peace… ”It’s me, Cathy. I’ve come home now. I’m so cold, let me in through your window” This was a love story that went terribly wrong.

Hey guys, interesting fact. She was discovered by Pink Floyd Guitarist, David Gilmore.

Kate's catalogue is just out of this world, never stop, its just gets better and better the more you explore. Check out "Army Dreamers" some time!

Great video! Loved your reaction. You two are both very open minded guys, and much kudos to you as the only reactors I've seen who have bothered to find out the meaning of the old word Wuthering. Here in Yorkshire where the book/song is set, and perhaps other areas of the UK you do still here wuthering being used, but not very often.

Bad omen - like a villain 💯🔥

Have to give Trash Talkers props for not being wigged out by her unusual high range vocals. This was written when she was 18 released in 78. It's based on the "1847" novel. She was discovered by Pink Floyd's " David Gilmour. Though the live performace is brilliant I would hsve suggested first checking the studio version ans mesmerizing video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f5Zjg6SIx7i0naM.html

She does a lot of great songs. Babooshka or Hammer Horror are a must

I think you guys would be blown away listening to a lady dubbed ‘the Nordic Kate Bush’. Eivør is from the Faroe Islands and is associated with folk, art pop, jazz, folk rock, classical and electronica genres. Listen/watch her performance ‘Eivør - Falling Free (Live at the Old Theatre Torshavn)’ and prepare to be stunned.

On the combination album Whole Story she rerecord this song. Wuthering Heights new vocal. It's an amazing recording. And a little extended at the end.

She's gorgeous, retro crush for sure. Dance and mime trained

Kate bush is a genius. She has composed and written almost all of her songs. Btw. Whuthring Heights is a classic novel ( also a movie) . Next I would suggest “ a woman’s work” . You may actually know a cover of this one.

Shes singing about Cathy who has come home to the love of her life Heathcliff,after she has died so her spirit is finally free 😢 brilliant 🎵 song by a music legend 👏 ❤️

Pink Floyd's David Gilmore discovered Kate Bush when she was 16

Song different but definitely goes hard 🔥

Karla DeVito /Paradise by the Dashboard Light you ment.....

Wuthering....Guys, read a book.

She also has a song called "Wow". And you're going to agree with that title !

Kate was a classic trained balot dancer, so its a yes to your question.

Hey guys new Kim Dracula and Electric Callboy videos just released this week

Yes, Miss Bush adorned the bedroom wall of many a teenage boy throughout the 70s and 80s.

Loved this when it came out🇦🇺

The song is about Cathy the ghost, haunting the house where she stayed called Wuthering Heights, the man she loved was Heathcliff. Do yourself a favour and watch the movie Wuthering Heights based a a novel

If you ever watched Wuthering Heights (1939) with Laurence Olivier or read the book (Brontë), you will appreciate the sadness of the lyrics based on the tragic love story between Heathcliff and Cathy …”Heathcliff, it’s me Cathy, I’ve come home…🎼🎼🎼…”

Katie Bush is absolutely amazing so beautiful her brother played guitar on her albums n on tour

As described in the novel Wuthering Heights, Kate's voice sounds like the icy winter wind hitting the window... If the identity of the wind is a ghost... I cry every time I hear this song...

In answer to your question, I don't really think Kate is ballet trained - of course, I may well be wrong. But what I can tell you about her is that she had written her first ever album by the age of 14. And she has had some tutoring from a movement coach. Also her brother, was a friend of a guy who knew David Gilmour (Pink Floyd). Gilmour actually helped to get her started and has played guitar for her in the past.

Enjoyed ur giving another Kate song a listen. She's had quite the career.

Metal Church Metal Church mannnn!!!🤟

She gives me chills

If Kate bush done a final set at Glastonbury I would kill people to go. I mean literally 🤣

The people who pulled the purse strings were insisting she make "Hammer Horror' the lead single to her initial release. She was in her teens still, and she insisted that Wuthering Heights be the standard bearer. Kate Bush became the first woman to have a #1 in Britain, and certainly the youngest.

my first real crush!..

Kate has been writing songs since 11 years old

loved this Woman from the first second i saw and heard her! she is brilliant!

"This Woman's Work". I'm sure u heard Maxwell but you'd be shocked to learn it was composed and sung first by Kate. Will bring a tear fellows.

when the guitar player from Pink Floyd decide to produce her, then it must be phenomenal

Babooshka is another great song of Kates with a fantastic video

Thanks for the video, guys. Now, maybe try her Cloudbusting, or Babooshka, or Wow.

Isn’t she supposed to be a Ghost in this song.

Did you guys do Cloudbusting yet??? My top track from her

Withering heights is a famous novel it’s based on that

Kate Bush is widely considered to “mad as a box of frogs” ... but that’s why she is a unique talent and a great blessing on the world 👍

@Trash Talkers later work, and not suggesting a "react" but give "The Sensual World" a go. Carries on with the Celtic feel from "Jig of Life" and slaps.

Happy Thanksgiving

Had to like & subscribe.. She has so many songs I don't know where to start. But recently I watched a reaction video to a KB song (Moving) It was excellent! I would love to hear your reaction to it

Check out Utah Saints - Something Good with Kate Bush

"What is Wuthering Heights?" OMG, I feel so old. Kids are not taught great literature in school anymore. Sigh.... Emily Brontë, who wrote Wuthering Heights, a classic, was British and that's why they use words like "moors". A moor is open, wild, grassy land, like what we'd call a swampy field but in England they are cold and dreary oftentimes. This song is about Catherine, who died, and came back as a ghost to Heathcliff, looking in his window and calling out to him "Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy, I've come home now". That's why she has that flowing, ghostly look. And yes, she writes her own lyrics.

Hey, I'm sure you guys did a blooper reel. Let's do another one.

Have to say the only version of this song I'd previously heard was by Pat Benatar. Would check that one out, and just her music in general, she's badass.
