It's Great When You're Kate!

I grew up on this lady. Wuthering Heights was released when I was three and yet it went deep into my psyche and stayed there. Since then she has come in and out of my life at different times.

This Woman's Work was a song I loved as a teenager and Moments of Pleasure is my all time favourite song to play when I'm home alone.

I love the fact that she is this ethereal, unknown creature. Capable of beauty and passion and yet she would perhaps pass me in the street and I wouldn't know it was her. BUT, it has to be said she was and is a formidable force. Having watched some old interviews with her on You Tube she had a spark and a manner that immediately told you she meant business.

All wrapped up in this angelic package.

It's great when you're Kate.

Kate is a one of a kind. So many "stars" look, sound and behave like one another these days - ooooh, so scared to be very different. Not her!
I was older than 3 when she hit her popularity - teenager. I would whirl around singing wuthering Heights looking all "tragic" . If I did that today - I would really look "tragic" ! !!LOL

Kate!! Yay!! I'm a complete Kate tragic and own all her albums. She's astounding, with her beautiful wild woman energy and vision. She's an absolute original...I won't go on...but I am so thrilled you have paid homage to her here!

I'm a huge Kate Bush fan too. So many people are afraid to be themselves, afraid to be different. Not Kate! She is an inspiration to all strong women who know who they are!

My eldest daughter was also brought up on Kate Bush. She was The Original. Dancing and singing with that little microphone long before Madonna. And oh those songs and costumes! What originality! She was voted Britains best female vocalist by NME back in the seventies year after year after year.I wish she would make a comeback or do you think that would spoil it?

Moments of Pleasure is SUCH a beautiful song. Kate manages to be ethereal and mysterious and a real down to earth woman's woman all at the same time. She is probably the only truly inspirational female musician out there IMHO, she is strong, opinionated, wild and creative but it's all wrapped up in an incredibly feminine package.

wonderful!

Of course I should have guessed that you too were a fan !

Women's Work song is so enchanting. I've always loved it and thought it describes the act of becoming a mother quite perfectly.

I wish I could be her!
