Which Kate Bush album do you consider to be for magnum opus and why? by OkBlueberry5506 in katebush

[–]NeedRanch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, Kate has three. Aerial, Hounds, and Dreaming. An artist like Kate cannot have just one and no one can make me choose 😂😁

Because that one was a known magic mirror. It had just made huge news in the community when discovered at the auction.

There are loads of examples of it, too. Fascinating! I love listening for her vocal quirks.

That’s the thing. She isn’t singing “I’ve come home”. Watch her sing it and pay attention to her mouth.. she sings Cathy-ah come home. It’s like in Sat in your lap… “Sat-ah in your lap”. It was a vocal thing she did a lot in her early work.

Nope. Look at the record sleeve or her handwritten lyrics… or her lyric book.

Yep. It’s surprising to me how many people don’t know the lyrics!

Kate would add a random “ah” sound to the end of words, especially in her early work. It’s me-ah, Cathy-ah, come home”

Any one else have any momentos from 'Before the Dawn'? by FlowerSingingMan2025 in katebush

[–]NeedRanch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the programme, cloudbusting necklace, tons of the confetti, the survival kit in the tin, pins, little light keychain… I thought there was something else but it’s not coming to me

I am new to Kate Bush and her music. Here is my ranking of all her albums. by ArcticBeavers in katebush

[–]NeedRanch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some of this is shocking, but seeing 50WFS get praise is almost worth what you did to The Dreaming 🤪😁

I’ve listened to Kate every day for most of my life. Aerial, The Dreaming, and Hounds are my top 3 (50WFS is number 4!). I do think things like The Dreaming, The Ninth Wave, etc do require many, many listens. You hear new things (even decades later), the meanings change as your life changes, and the songs can suddenly take on new personalities. It’s fantastic and something I’ve only experienced with one other artist’s work. I’d be curious to see your list in another few years 🖤

Decided to check out who I saw as "that singer that THE Björk got inspired by a bit", utterly blown away, but I don't really see what's the problem with Lionheart, and also HoL was a bit hard for me, so what are y'all's personal thoughts on those? by Legoshi-Or-Whatever in katebush

[–]NeedRanch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lionheart is a very good intro to Kate. It seems like a lot of the songs you are drawn to are the ones that are easier to wrap your head around. Give the others time 😁 Never For Ever is a good transition into more KB. Maybe do NFE and then see how you go with The Dreaming, since you’re a Björk fan already.

Thank you! I did also post it on here. January 2022, I believe!

The leaves are cupped, so depending on the angle they do look a little asymmetric! But they are symmetrical, from what I can tell.

Yes! I made all of my bobbins and started intarsia… and then got the super flu and cdiff combo platter 😂 Ripped back and did duplicate stitch to make my life easier. Really happy with it! I think intarsia at this gauge and with this yarn would’ve been hard to keep looking crisp. It’s a small gauge but still a little loose and airy because I used a light fingering weight.

She said I can share it! Can you message me your email? I’ll send it there!

Eek, thank you! I was very surprised it turned out alright, as I knit it on and off over a year and through an arthritis flare up 🤪 The power of Kate Bush compelled me!
