Kate Bush - Oh To Be In Love

[preblemotorpower]

Oh my fricking god. I'm speechless. Thank you, Thank Kate

[yellowkitchen1]

Kate is the absolute BEST. There is no one better than Kate.

[KlaudiaNomi]

Most adorable face @ 0:11

[smugmarty74]

Woooww like in the same room... i never heared this version.

[MadameLil]

Love the demoworthiness of this. Thank you.

[mike4lurve]

If you don't like Kate Bush songs then do not listen too them, I personally love them, A 16 year old girl wrote The Kick Inside! a wonderful achievement at that time, were talking over 30 years ago.No X factor then. KATE BUSH HAS A RARE TALENT, and I am delighted that she is still recording now. Her songs have helped me through some very difficult times, so lalalielands think about what you post in the future.

[xXSunnyKimXx]

What a beautiful voice... She was probably around my age when she recorded this...

[123jsbach]

slightly rat pitched but beautiful nonetheless.

[flo15jo]

This is just so ....... great. "And never get out again .... " - she just had this knack for making a quick phrase and a quirky sequence of notes memorable forever.

[moosesgalore]

kate bush only has one truly good imitator, joanna newsom

[StevieK99]

Beautiful...can't wait for 50 Words for Snow to Arrive

[SimonThe1st]

Kate Bush is by far the greatest female singer/songwriter the world has ever produced. And she's English!

[sillyb1975]

Tears in my eyes, I really needed that

[smallGatsby]

awesome quality! Totally love it.

Thanks for sharing! - If I may ask: where did you get this version?

[0718114]

Thank you for this ... What an incredible, miraculous find really. Rended as though performed in a small room, just for us... You almost expect her to ask, at the end: so, what do you think? That's more intimate that I ever hoped to get with this awe- inspiring, sublime artist and human being. I'm breathless. Thank you again.

[Noodles37UK]

God she must've been only 17?

[Nabou1]

Awesome vocal.

[accusationChair]

Kate Bush I love you to this day! awaiting response

[rhov233]

This is stunning!

[luluboahsexynonono]

Does anybody know how old she was when this version was recorded?

[sirmarcuspuddifoot]

katheryne...cruel Heathcliff...my godess...my muse

[embolicat]

OMG, nice version!

Where is it from?

[mallard4998]

Amazing,beautiful vocal!!!

[poisonchihuahuas]

The three people who disliked this must have teh emotional range of a teaspoon.......However, I think its B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!

[cdchurcher]

Love this woman

[1nibbens]

Brilliant, thanks for posting.  Kate Bush = Pure Genius!!

[SupernalOne]

Kate Bush is an artist and musician first and foremost - Michael Jackson is a singer and entertainer - they do different things, and we listen to them for different reasons. Kate is wonderfully creative but sometimes a little outre, Michael had an unusual lifetyle but was a totally devoted & professional performer - so kudos to both

[karenaudreytodd]

God her voice just cuts to the bone on this version, so raw and yet so perfect

[lalalielands]

I am really sick of listening to Kate Bush songs that I love but seeing other just as amazing musicians insulted or dismissed for no good reason. Just appreciate the music for what it is.

[dougd1015]

I agree Kate Bush being great has no correlation with Justin Beibers talentless career.

[ChaoticBlossom]

@lalalielands Thank you. I found myself typing the same thing on here two days ago while listening to bjork. Some guy was calling britney spears, madonna, lady gaga and beyonce bitches and fake artists, and it was nauseating. I told him to simply learn to enjoy beauty when you hear it. It doesn't require the comparison and never once does the song aim to demean or weigh itself against anyone else. the hard part of enjoying unique music is the snobbishness that seems to come with other listeners

[welcome2myhell]

@lalalielands "I am really sick of listening to Kate Bush songs" but I have to post negative shit on Kate Bush videos so everyone else on the planet can feel my exquisite and profound pain.

[lalalielands]

@welcome2myhell yeah because what you just posted isn't negative in the slightest

[lauramounsey]

wow i love this verson so beautiful

[mickskaful]

this is gorges

[DutchFord86]

How many times i listened to this song. The kick inside and the red shoes are still one of my favorite albums.

[debovvy]

it gives me goosebump and makes cry. and happy couse i can listen something that beautiful. :D

[sabthecosentino]

i love u kate.

[baroondiwand]

this couldve been taken from a musical

[sjoekiloeki]

I just can't enough of this recording, it's SO INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL! Please, please never let this remove from youtube! I want to keep hearing this until my death!

[coracleman]

go talk about MJ on the MJ thread - leave us Kate Bush fans to enjoy pure genius!

[briaw1089]

Michael Jackson >>> every artist that came before and after him.

But Kate Bush is good though. I'll give her that.

[Katefanforever]

@gio73vanna.Kate is one of them.

[tracehazarrrrd]

@briaw1089 thumbs down.

[ipolson]

Why exactly is MJ considered a genius ? He didnt play any instruments and composed about 8 songs every 10 years. Last time I saw him performing, he was holding his crutch and squeaking like a mouse. Pity all these people calling him a genius didnt buy his album that flopped ! And, no, he didnt invent the moonwalk. There's film of a guy doing it in the 30's. Imo, MJ was one big hyped up con artist . As for this lady....she truly is one, no doubt about it.

[lovettbeatle]

@ipolson hey dude! he revolutionized performing arts. and u must have heard him sing when he was like 6. no one had that soul at that age. he actually played several instruments just not on stage. and his dancing is amazing- the isolation, and how he put everything into every performance. im a dancer, i know! he was one with music. i love kate just as much as u- im 13 and i can tell how extrodinary she is. y can no1 see that these two are actually very similar?

[ipolson]

@lovettbeatle: 'revolutionized performing arts'.... come on, thats a bit of hype you have read somewhere. And he didnt, there were plenty of others who were child performers long before him. Stevie Wonder for one ! I have no problem with him being a 'dancer' (alothough personally, I prefer bands who dont 'dance'. . Its just when people call him a 'musical genius'. He wasnt. Now Stevie Wonder......oh yes !

[ipolson]

@lovettbeatle: And musically, I do not consider them the same. I am a musician and I can tell you Kate's songs are far more inventive and musically challenging than anything MJ ever wrote. Thats my opinion. I think you are right, MJ was more of a dancer than a serious musician. But its pleasing that at 13 you appreciate Kate. Thats good !

[anthonyrawly]

@ipolson your right. Michael Jackson is not a musician, not as good as Kate Bush. Better performer maybe, although I still think Kate is the better performer artistically.

[2ubester2]

This IS the original. From the demos. Interesting to hear it in it's raw form. So fragile and innocent.

[goldenfilly]

i first listened to this when i was in love with someone, and it was amazing. all the other songs dont really apply anymore but this one still does

[HommaHieno]

This is better than the original which is magnificent.

[sabrinasjourney]

<3 <3 <3 Happy Birthday beloved Kate

[poisonchihuahuas]

ok, if i could marry this version of the song, I sooo would!

[poisonchihuahuas]

She looks very different at 2:29

[poisonchihuahuas]

@thebiglebowski1993 I have the cd The Kick Inside, but can I get this veresion? It's very pretty. : )

[voltaamsterdam]

Thanks very much for posting this. Wonderfull demo. Very emotional. Sends shivers down the spine. I've known and loved the album version for 32 years but this demo really lets you hear the essence of the song. After hearing this demo I fell in love with it and now I prefer it to the album version.

[poisonchihuahuas]

oh my gosh i love this song! how did you get it? i NEED to know. is there a cd?

[thebiglebowski1993]

@poisonchihuahuas yeah, you can get all them from places like amazon and play.com.

[poisonchihuahuas]

hey guys, go look at the comment some person left on the "them heavy people" video by I think it was someone named jonkers70. this crazy person was like, the mama goblin or whatever. all Kate Bush appreciators be prepared to get pissed of like crazy! ecspecially the ones who hate lady gaga.

[thebiglebowski1993]

It's impossible to compare someone like Jackson to a genius like Kate. In fact it makes me feel pretty sick.

[Hwral]

@thebiglebowski1993

+1. What a nonsensical comparison indeed.

[xanglat]

Great

Thank you very much for posting

[problemscfn]

she was persuaded to use established session musicians, some of whom she would retain even after she had brought her bandmates back on board

[Giggle3000]

thank you....I've never heard this version....I have loved her for years and there is no one better...

[dabsy71]

Obviously, but isn't that like comparing an apple with an orange ?

[19oct65]

Is this version available on CD do you know?

[BrynRob]

never heard this version - very beautiful. So lovely to hear her unadorned, and not over-produced.

[9693297602]

I love kate bush you know It because of Kate Bush I fell in love with Sarah Brightman...how many are with me on this?

[bawbagbrain]

beautiful



[NinjaOutfitInTheWash]

I love this song and this is the first time i hear it.

[bergerkos]

She's very expressive by nature. And she's only 19 here, hence her "honesty"!

To say that she's at her "very best" here... It would mean, that all which followed after was but a continuous way DOWN... I don't know if it is so with Kate Bush.

[medoc1000]

This is kate at her very best . Just listen to the honesty of the piece . . There's very few artists today that can write a piece so full of feeling . THIS IS A TREASURE.

[bundleHastings]

can anyone help me with the lyrics? what does she mean as you shift along the floor? is he drunk?

[richardhanna0]

@bundleHastings

the lyric implies that her lover is shy >:)

[richtensail]

mm never heard this 1, liked it, v longing is there, v sound of a mature woman experiencing love lost, an yet someone says its early kate?

[brasiliennr1]

she controls her voice so perfect, just a few singers can do that soo well...

[sjoekiloeki]

I love this version, it's even better than the album version. Her voice is so beautifully high here, it gives me goosebumps.

[Leighsharpe]

@sjoekiloeki Yes you are so true, as I started the video, I got them goosebumps chasing over my body, I've got to go through my Katies albums again and get my full dose of goosebumps!!!!!

[silvesterde]

@sjoekiloeki me too. unbelievable

[lucypuddlejumper]

@sjoekiloeki

Ditto.

[marshfish]

kate and her music just gets more beautiful. ever listened to her last album Aerial? i,m about her age too. she,s beathtaking.

[RnBramwell]

Kate is my age. I have always loved her music, especially :Wuthering Heights. She is most beautiful when she is lean, ad her latest photos prove that.

What a wonderful woman she is!!.

[DrimbleWedge50]

Very nice. Thank you for posting it.

[decapone87]

fat version. like the piano in the chorus

[niithaiiziithah1]

memories

[journeymanjim]

my favourite song by her. such a great chord progression in the verses, and the chorus sounds so soft and gentle in this version. It's rather heavier in the studio recording, though both versions are brilliant in their own ways :)

[Tazzygirl17]

i love tis song... reminds me of my fiance,,, im so worried foor him... i hate war...

[MOJOPIN1960]

WoW ! AMAZING ! really love this !! thankyou !

[JackStarkey57]

This early versions give us the oportunity to know the genilaity are with this divine

woman all the time.Love and respect forever to our Muse Kate Bush....

[toonlad66]

ive always loved this song

[bikobrightside]

this sound sooo gorge im nearly cryin.. xxx

[farscaperguy]

I go weak at the knees just at the very mention of this lady's name. An amazing and rare talent :-)

[tasimana]

i just fell in love listening to this

[rabidbanshee]

Whenever the 'old black eyed dog' barks Kate chases him away with the hounds of love.

[ladyflo2007]

this is still my favourite. i love it so much more than the album version. It has such a sweet innocent sound about it.

[wile2wicked]

such sweet sweeet sweeeeet heavenly voice... beautiful...!

[armadillozenith]

thanks! for letting hear this early version different from Kick Inside album-release version. and for the selection of photos/art.

[chiquitabanana4]

i love her voice...this song is my second fave next to babushka

[jazzmoods]

This is brill thanks so much for posting this x

[bobsnel]

Is this from 'The Cathy tapes'? You can hear the potential.

[stuBhound69]

Thx Uploader for this early version.

Wonderful song.

[Broeddenhert]

None with her voice!

[RichieMcLD]

Pas de doute le Roi et la Reine de la pop sont nés la même année!...Que Dieu nous laisse profiter de Kate encore quelques années

[integration1000]

Kate bush is far better than Michael Jackson.

[RichieMcLD]

Bonjour cher(e) expert(e)

merci de nous donner ton avis de fan, mais tu es hors sujet. Il ne s'agit pas d'établir une compétition entre ces deux monstres sacrés de la chanson, ni même de se permettre un jugement de valeur, mais bien au contraire de rendre hommage à leur génie créatif(à tous les deux)!

Ce qui ne t'empêche nullement de préférer l'un ou l'autre. "Mais cela ne nous regarde pas!"

Cordialement

[integration1000]

Je rends hommage au génie créatif de Kate parce que je la trouve géniale mais je m arreterai là!

[lucarana]

Just like a fish is much better than a bicycle...

[TheBravekillah]

@integration1000 I think that is a strange comparison to make, on what basis are you basing your opinion on?

[Katefanforever]

@TheBravekillah.Do you prefer Michael to Kate?

[chrisdavid4026]

@integration1000 of course she isbetter...she's my reason for loving music

[lovettbeatle]

@integration1000 hey hey dont be dissin michael! their good in different ways. both geniuses-u cant deny it!

[agentapathy]

@integration1000 if they did a duet, it would burn the sun.

[tehjargonz0r]

@integration1000 Bullshit. They are both amazing artists and great entertainers. Why would you compare the two?

[MckyMseNTarotCrds]

@integration1000 I have no idea why you made this comment....um, was it around the time he died, I guess? But I definitely agree. It just seems so random. Like, who the eff is comparing Kate to Michael Jackson? Anyway, let me get back to the comment I was going to make...ahem...Kate Bush is far better than Nickelback.

[Noodles37UK]

@integration1000 YEAH

[tqued25]

What a song ,what a artist .Lady Kate we thank  you.

[ZorbaTheDutch]

0:50, 1:46-1:57 wow!

"Tiefer und tiefer... irgendwo in der Tiefe gibt es ein Licht" (guess the song, fans?)

That light must be Kate herself ;-)

[shibamatachick]

Leave it open.

[ladyflo2007]

Whenever i'm feeling blue, I can always find a kate bush song that explains how i'm feeling. This is so beautiful, she is the greatest songwriter to ever live and i'm totally in awe of her.

[moriwaki1105]

She has given me so much pleasure for so many years...THANK YOU KATE BUSH !

[vertu1965]

it is totally unfair that one person should be blessed with so much talent , she is absolutely stunning in every way , voice , looks , writing, imagery, mystique ...sigh...

[shxexpert]

SHE IS THE BEST, SHE IS BEAUTIFUL.

[kheira3]

such a beautiful song and such a beautiful singer!ah!kate bush i will surely never see her in live!pfffff!

[matthewbell1]

1:23 and 1:37 you mean!!

[Broeddenhert]

Oh To Be In Love... with Kate Bush.

[lippy170]

1:47 0:13 and 0:38 are stunning!!! Lovely eyes.

[ZzKiza]

Divine Kate!

[keithdeweese]

My favorite, next to "Moving," on THE KICK INSIDE, and then this is just the cherry on the sundae! Just where did this talent come from at such an early age? Well, I know the answer,but I just had to ask :-) Thank you for posting.

[wolf2jon]

fantastic compilation of pics to accompany such a sweet song, thanx for posting scarletsatine ;-j

[jerrydem298]

i want to be the filling in a kate bush tori amos sandwich

[Oherne]

LOL.

Me too...but hold the Amos :)

[wolf2jon]

how about carol decker for a bit of relish? just throwing it out there...

[Oherne]

Yeah, sounds good, with maybe a side order of Siouxsie Sioux (in her prime) LOL.

(Any doubters, Search youtube for the Banshee's "Peek-a-boo' and tell me Siouxsie didn't have a certain something) :)

[Oherne]

Correction, make that "Face to Face" by the Banshees - check out Siouxsie's purr. :)

[dabsy71]

As long as PJ Harvey does the money shott !!!

[gary1961]

... it's great to hear this - just Kate and her piano; fantastic. That picture of her at 1:23, dressed in yellow ... beautiful.

[QUlRK]

I need this version of the song! where can i find this? it is a wholly different mood than the more popular version... she is so dreamy and melancholy. never fails to give me goosebumps. anybody know where this version can be found?!?!

[Pallindrom27]

I really cant tell anymore if I love every song of hers that I hear because I love HER or whether they're all just THAT good!

BOTH.

[Phoebeaaaa]

I've never heard this version of the song. It's....different.

[AllahisaJew]

I need this song.

[AllahisaJew]

Uh, I just bought the album version on Amazon and it was completely different from this one. Can someone send me this version?

[Jamoozie]

I think you will find this is a bootleg un released version. I thinks it is rare and hard to get.

[indent73]

Thx. to uploader from a long time Kate Bush fan.

[brandonedge]

god i love this song, i wish we had better quality versions of the demos

[lisadraga]

Beautiful song. But I would argue that she was already a big star in the UK and everywhere but the US when this came out. Her song "Wuthering Heights" was her first single, and instantly went to the top of the charts.

[curiouslittlecubes]

Not this demo, my friend... this is waay pre the kick inside.

[sachcr]

this is on her firdt album and my favourite song of hers

[jenbird123]

awesome stuff - she IS brilliant - so unique - no-one can touch her!

[Sirona]

I love how this version sounds sadder than the one on the album.

[ammayoga]

what a lovely version

[petnogakatten]

Lovely, she's really talented, love her voice, love her songs

[okhan001]

she's incredible, thanks for posting

[4712POMMES]

well, i dont know anything after all

[davestany]

life death and love are one.You cant get out ,its indivisible ,the outside and the inside are the same.That is love.

Kate is singing about romantic love ,which is not really love as it contains; dependency,posession,dominatio­n,jealousy,pleasure/pain ..all ego bound and self centred ,which is the denial of love.Love is when the "self" is not.

[TheFriendlyGod]

and you better believe, from the songs on this album and others, that kate is aware of the dependancy, jealousy, possession, pain, etc. implicit in romantic love, which makes her devotion to love all the more courageous and her understanding of the intricacies of human relationships all the more compassionate.

[davestany]

If there is a going beyond these activities of the self then the other is.

The other is not when the self is.

In understanding theres harmony that is eternal ever lasting .

What then is the self? The me ,the centre with its boundry ,limited thought that is memory and experience ,inherired through generations of tradition and culture.Conditioned entity through enviroment,society.When this me dissolves thus ending ,The other is and its neither yours or mine .

[wildfemale]

I've heard "Oh to be in love and never get out again", and I absolutely approve!

[KateFan]

Wow, thanks, I don't think I've heard that demo before.

[R4CH3LDeH4V3N]

sung as if she already were a star!! so mature

[getintothepool]

Super song, thanks for posting!!

[getintothepool]

This is Great!!

[lionheart3419]

One of my top three songs off her debut album. Incredible at such a young age to write and produce these exquisite songs. Kate is simply great. Kudos XxXscarletsatineXxX from an appreciative American fan.

[davestany]

Yes an English Rose talented singer actress.

[SpankRamen]

I hope the other two are "Saxophone Song" & "James & The Cold Gun".
