Catherine Bush CBE is the renowned English singer, songwriter, record producer, and dancer.

Since then, Bush has captivated audiences with a remarkable repertoire, boasting 25 UK Top 40 singles, including unforgettable hits like "The Man with the Child in His Eyes," "Babooshka," and "Running Up That Hill." Collaborating with legends like Peter Gabriel on "Don't Give Up," she continues to leave an indelible mark on the music scene. With nine studio albums to her name, each one has soared to the UK Top 10, with three claiming the coveted number one spot, including timeless classics like "Never for Ever," "Hounds of Love," and "The Whole Story."
'The Big Sky,' is a captivating track by acclaimed English singer-songwriter Kate Bush. Unveiled in 1986, this mesmerizing melody serves as the fourth and final single from her chart-topping album, 'Hounds of Love.'

Hi Beth and thanks a lot for this from the incomparable Kate Bush. She called this one her getting drunk songs from this album. because she talked about getting drunk in order to do the freestyle ad libs at the end (the other was the wonderful 'Waking the Witch.' Now if you were to do an analysis of 'Hello Earth' from this album you would be giving a gift to the world - for her performance on that song is just spellbinding. Thanks again for this.

Kate almost always did her own background vocals. At least until she used the Trio Bulgarka on her Sensual World album. I like it when she uses 4 or 5 different voices within one song, such as Suspended In Gaffa. Can't go wrong with Kate. By the way, have you reacted to Peter Gabriel and her duet music video for Don't Give Up?

Great memories - you can see me at the front of the “stage” towards the end. The music was pumping while this was being recorded - took you over completely. Kate gave us all “Big Sky” branded lighters (mine still works) to wave at one point. Trouble is they quickly got red hot. Became a test of loyalty how long you could keep your lighter lit for. This was on the second day of recording for the video - won’t ever forget it. Kate over indulged slightly and needed some time out while this was being recorded,

@voxquivive3303 5 ай бұрын

Back in the eighties and nineties Kate was in a league of her own. From 'Song of Solomon' she sings 'Dont want your bullshit. Just want your sexuality. Write me your poetry in motion'. And in the Sensual World when she paraphrases Molly Blooms soliloquay from James Joyces Ulysses 'And then I took a kiss of seedcake back from your mouth. Going deep south going down. With six big wheels we'll roll our bodies out off Howth Head and into the flesh. You said I was a flower of the mountains. Yes. But now I have the power of a womans body. She really was way ahead of the curve.

Thank you, Beth! I have been a massive fan of Kate Bush for many years. I still remember going out and buying the, "Hounds of Love" album, when it was first released in 1985. Please can I also put a recommendation in for you to look at some of Laura Marling's material. Perhaps the official video for "All My Rage" might be a good place to start. I honestly believe Laura to be the best female singer and songwriter to have come out of the UK since Kate Bush.

The Fairlight synth was named after a hydrofoil ferry in Sydney that the maker used to see out of his window. The ferry was probably named after the Fairlight homestead in Sydney, which in turn was probably named after Fairlight, a village in East Sussex, UK. The software piracy group Fairlight got its name from the synth... or a C64 game which got its name from the village...

He eventually tracked her down in a small town in England and crossed having lunch with her off his bucket list.

Great assessment,. . yep, just how 'mighty' is this piece from the Genie-uss which is the 'Kato',. . . when this song came out when I was much younger (lol) loved it as a great '45,. . . to be honest just recently 're-discovered' it again and cannot stop playing it , so was really interested to see how your review would go,. . I think I love it even MORE now than when 1st came out. Such an artistically great piece and powerful song,. . but, I am chuckling cos was just pointing this out to someone yesterday, anothyer massiv Kate fan that the 'IRELAND' bit really cracks me up,. . . She is like a little Girl full of excitement in just how She expresses that and like Kate , like millions of us from Irish descent scattered all over the Globe, its great to hear her make such a reference here. I get it!!, and.. it's so cute!! lol ☘💚 As a Bass player also loving Del's crunchy Bass on this as well. For me another particular beauty of a lot of Kate's work is the basis of the song, in a musical sense is really quite simple, then, She adds all these mad vocals n' howls and whatever, and also kinda quirky musical lairs on top of it all. Thanks for your great and interesting review. Lets all keep watching the 'Big Sky'. It will reveal a lot to us ;)
