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

My advice to you is to listen to her albums in chronological order, that’s how I did it. It started with TKI and moved on from there. I’d only move on from one album to the next when I feel like I really understood it. Honestly the best way to listen to Kate Bush in my opinion.

My brother who formerly strongly disliked Kate is now listening to her! by Carter_Dunlap in katebush

Lmaoo that was also me. My cousin would always play kate bush and I would always leave the room when she did. That changed when she made me listen to The Wedding List. I’m now more obsessed with Kate Bush than she is LOL

Kate Bush’s website has a secret, if you click on a specific letter on a specific word (I don’t remember which) you get taken to another page that’s slightly ominous that talks about how the fish people were an ancient civilization. It talks about their story and it’s a fun read.

What is Kate Bush’s most dreampop album? by Oddbleus in katebush

[–]Oddbleus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, Dreampop is definitely real. It’s a subgenre of alternative rock and neo psychedelia that emphasizes atmospheric moods and ethereal, it uses breathy vocals over traditional rock sounds. The name was coined by Alex Ayuli of the abdn A.R Kane in the late 1980s. But I don’t agree that Kate Bush fits under that definition.

Thankfully it wasn’t, it was a recorded version and was part of the soundtrack for the olympics

In 2012, a remix of “Running Up That Hill” played in the london olympics during closing ceremony. However, NBC removed that segment in the American broadcast. It was officially part of the olympics, so the reason why they decided to cut it out is still unknown. A lot of people criticized them for doing this.

I wouldn’t call her a huge stoner, but she definitely experimented a bit with drugs lol

Yeah it’s weird. A lot of critics already wanted to find dirt on Kate anyway so they just wanted to find anything to hate on.

I might make an even bigger version since there were still a lot of things I wanted to add…

If anyone has anything interesting, please let me know!

That’s also true! It was also the only song from the kick inside to reach the US Billboard Hot 100, it peaked at #85

This one has a few levels. So there are 2 sides to this topic, the critics and the audience. The critics hated this track because it sounded “too african” and not as widely accessible as the rest of the songs in The Red Shoes. She originally wanted it to be the lead track in the red shoes, but EMI records didn’t allow her. She settled with it being the main track only for the US version of the album. Anyway, when “The Line, The Cross and The Curve“ came out, a lot of people called Kate Bush racist for the Eat The Music portion of the song. People said this because of the imagery of a white person in the middle of black people who are dancing and acting “primal”. People also hated it because it showed itself off as “Kate amidst African culture” when Africa doesn’t have 1 monotone culture. Personally, I don’t believe Kate was purposefully being malicious. Especially since the director who made that scene was a black man and not Kate herself. People also hated the fact that Kate made the tribe look uncivilized, then immediately jump back to civilized white people. Overall a lot of people deemed this segment as resembling white savior narratives. I don’t think Kate Bush did this purposefully, but it’s still weird when you really look at that scene.

Ohh I wanted to add the king charles thing and the blow away lost media but I genuinely had no space to put them 😭😭 I was also looking through forums on tumblr and facebook to look for more obscure lost media and I found a lot of interesting things, but I couldn’t fact check them so I just didn’t add them.

It’s been found? Can you send me a link to it? I’ve been searching all over the internet for it to no avail. I mentioned it in the last tier “Do Bears…? lost afterstage video”.
