Kate Bush "Running Up That Hill" Vocal ANALYSIS focused on Mental Health.

Firstly she was already a HUGE success in England and all over Europe. She had also already had a following in the states prior to this song as well. She is much more than a vocalist. She writes all of her music, arranges it too. She is a performance artist as well. Dance, direction...ALL OF IT. SHE IS BRILLIANT AND ONE OF A KIND☮️

Kate was, and is, so much more than a phenomenal voice. She was groundbreaking in so many ways, as an artist. It’s nice she’s getting a resurgence of popularity now.

Kate Bush is a GENIUS! Not only did she produce, as was mentioned, but she also created the choreography for this video. I loved her back then, and still do. I am so glad that a new generation is getting to experience this huge and unique talent.

She's her own genre 💕

"This Woman's Work." Anyone who knows Bush's work can tell you that this song ( particularly the original recording from "The Sensual World," along with its video) is extremely worthy of your time.

Kate Bush is one of those people in life that makes you realise that there is a higher, magical and mystical plane to our existence. I remember going to War listening to her thinking even if I die at least I've lived long enough to hear and see Kate Bush ❤💃

Because she wanted to dance with her songs her crew developed the headset so she could dance and sing. She was one of the very first if not the first. This lady is a genius in the arts, pure and simple.

Without doubt one of the greatest female artists. Her fame in europe doesn’t need a boost, she is a living legend 😊

The thing I love about this is that Kate Bush set up her own publishers, so she wrote, performed, published (and choregraphed) everything in this song - which means after 4 decades she still gets all of the royalties etc and good on her.

My most favorite ever conversation about Kate Bush took place years and years ago when I was in College. I was sitting with some friends at a outside table, shooting the shit and what not, and one of the groups conversations was about music which went as follows. Friend 1: "I've really been getting into this artist from England." Friend 2: "Really, who is it?" Friend 1: "Kate Bush." Friend 2: "Cool, what kind of music does she do?" After a pause and a shrug. "Friend 1: "Um... Kate Bush music." Moral of the memetic story... Kate Bush defies all attempts to quantify, or be boxed into a pre packaged genre, she, perhaps more than any artist in the modern era, stands alone.

The synthesizer you are hearing is the Fairlight CMI, an iconic piece of equipment and the source of great jealousy for many a great artist, past and present. She is also using a drum machine on this, I think it was a LinnDrum... She was and is a pioneer of electronic pop music. This song in particular, together with "Cloudbusting", "Wuthering Heights", and "Cloudbusting" have a special place in my heart. As does, "The Man With The Child In His Eyes", which she wrote when she was only thirteen and recorded when she was sixteen, under the guidance of none other than David Gilmour. You should definitely check out that song.

It's worth giving her whole "Hounds of love" album a listen, track by track. It tells a whole story through songs and it's amazing ❤️ Always loved her.

Back in December 84 I was a penurious student in S London. One day I was with a college friend buying stamps when I happened to glance behind me, standing in the queue was Kate herself! My friend knew her and to cut a long story short we ended up back at 'her place' [just around the corner as it happens] for a cup of tea and some cake. Small talk led to the 'what are you doing now?' question and she graciously allowed her to hear the just finished final edit of 'Hounds of Love'. To say we were floored was an understatement and when I got the CD in due course she autographed it for me. Sadly it got nicked along with my entire record collection some months later.

As mentioned in the chat: "Don't give up" - a duet between Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel

Kate Bush is almost a year older than I and I've followed her off and on right through all of her musical releases. I have yet to come across another female artist who carries such female sensuality in her voice and music and choreography, and although the word has lost its power of true meaning today, the lady really is a genius. The Hounds of Love album is phenomenal, especially the second side called 'The Ninth Wave'. Her vocals on 'And Dream of Sheep' sends shivers down the spine, and don't get me started on the track 'The Sensual World'. From a male perspective she is able to stimulate and arouse on all levels of the physic and psyche to bring not entertainment, but an experience. That is what Kate Bush is with her music, a resonating earthy experience, and no other female artist has come close to that level of expression.

Kate Bush is one of the few, pure & beautiful things left in this world.

Kate Bush's voice can make me feel incredibly happy, and almost unbearably sad, at the same time. I first saw her on TV as a child, when her first single was released back in the 70's. She was so weird and amazing at the same time. I didn't understand it at all, I just knew I loved it. I'm so glad there's a new audience discovering the wonders of Kate Bush.

The most pure song kate sings is the man with the child in his eyes. It’s remarkable and she wrote it when she was 13! Yes only 13!

This makes me feel so old. The first 7" single record I ever bought ar the age of 11 was 'Wuthering Heights". An incredible 44 years ago. I was enchanted by Kate then and am still enchanted by her now. She is a one-off. An amazingly gifted musical talent - a true originator -and a national treasure for us Brits. Would love a reaction/analysis to "Wuthering Heights"

18:20 "The backing vocals in this section are insane" I love that moment! Part of the brilliance of this song is the gradual evolution and building layers of texture, layers of drama. There's always something new and different sneaking in and bringing new depth to the song. Kate does that all over this album. Not just in the individual songs, but in the flow between songs (especially on the second half, the songs that make up "The Ninth Wave"). Nobody else could have produced this.
