  • Goes well with rainyMood dotcom!

  • Kate Bush is a wonderful singer, suits this performance .

  • this was fascinating musically and visually Kate is always interesting like it or not- I like it)

  • KAte Bush, de beste troubadour van de mysterieuze en mystiek muziek ooit.

    Geweldig, haar performance in Efteling, lang, lang geleden live meegemaakt.

    Weergaloos, ben fan sinds die dag!!

  • @fergal46 niet

  • surreal. completely captivating.

  • Thanks!

  • played the birds singing off this album in my car parked up..with the windows down..loud...seen little birds lookin around...........before i know it...the cars surrounded by blackbirds.sparrows..magpies..­bluetits..all singin and sort of swaying..suddenly the cd started jumpin and shit..it woodnt play...the birds stopped singin ..then they starts peckin at my tyres...flyin at my window..hundreds of them attack my car..i start the engine and got out of there...i ran over a seagulll..it was scary

  • Kate one of my favorite... like her so much!! But then I noticed these guys were also catching...

  • WHY DIDN'T I LISTEN TO THIS BEFORE? OMG.

  • BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

  • Good stuff!

  • What a wonderful video.. thank you Kate

  • how can anyone hate this!

  • a ja bym chciała tekst tej piosenki....najlepiej przetłumaczony na j.polski....bo dla mnie to mogło by być wyzwanie;) i nie mam czasu;P...

  • one day one I would be able to do this...at least in my dreams

  • @TheApplebutta What do you mean write a song like that or do the act?

  • they r in love

  • I was at The Eden Project today and heard a black bird singing, it just reminded me of Kate and this amazing video :)

  • This such a catchy song! (Love Cirque Du Soleil)

  • kate is beautiful a goddess a true artist. aerial another masterpiece.

  • Love Cirque du Soleil and Kate Bush, great video!

  • Was Kate anywhere on this video?

  • @hyrdrogenalpha no, there is no official video. This is fan made one.

  • shes amazing love her

  • @ proto1type "deside" is better spelled deCide (no caps) and I totally disagree with you. K.Bush has impressed me that she has grown so much and still remained true to who she is. You've listed the songs you don't like and that makes it easier for me to disagree with you. I love her unique daring to extend and limit song length for artistic effect. I respect an artist that will wait until the dough has risen and the bread has been perfectly baked before offering us a slice. Kudos Kate! Love this

  • @proto1type - WTF ? Aerial is genius - pure natural emotion - As much as I have loved her earlier work, this is totally another level - Kate, please give the bread making a break and give us more ! I just love you for your effect on my emotional development xxx

  • BTW, I LOVE Kate to bits, but there's nothing wrong with being critical either.

  • My fave KB album has to be "Lionheart", with "Kick Inside" and "Never For Ever" a close second and third respectively.  "Aerial" is just OK - it's highs ("Pi", "Joanni", the beautiful "Prologue" , "Sunset" and the stunning "Mrs.Bartolozzi") are almost negated by the its lows ("A Coral Room", "Bertie", "Nocturn" , the itty bitty tracks like "Prelude" and "Aerial Tal" and the title track). It's very much a mixed bag and I can't really deside whether I like it or dislike it. Not her best.

  • You have to read what her other songs say on this album, it's a puzzle. You have to figure it out. It's crazy. It's beautiful, this is my favorite album and GENIUS WORK!

  • @Marmaleet thats the thing about Kate, she doesn't compromise her art. You either go along with her for the ride or you get left out in the cold. She doesn't explain, she doesn't make it easy for you. You either get it or you don't. It's all or nothing. Thats one of the things I love about her.

  • You have to read what her other songs say on this album, it's a puzzle. You have to figure it out. It's crazy. It's beautiful, this is my favorite album and GENIUS WORK!

  • @Bluebuthappy. Was just thinking the same thing.

    must get off the sofa more in 2011!

  • a beautiful, humble comment Bluebuthappy 182 re the combination (of music and the visual) leading to artistic perfection. i feel similarly when i see cirque du soleil: Quidam's-red silk aerial contortion performed to 'Let Me Fall' (Josh Groban). humility and the ability to recognize and be affected by beauty is a gift in itself too.

  • First off, I LOVE Kate Bush! I honestly didn't like this album. On the same note I pray Kate Bush continues making albums because she is so phenomenal! And she has so much potential in the future.

  • @chuckiin.Could you tell us why you don't like Aerial?

  • @Katefanforever Yeah I can. I can't connect to the song. It's removed from me.. Kate's previous albums connected with me and tugged at my heart. This feels like an experimental work removed from her previous entries. Don't give up on me Kate cause I'm not giving up on you :)

    Kate Bush is one of my favorite artists!

  • Massive KB fan here, Kick Inside & Lionheart are masterpieces....I can listen to them non stop ...I desperately want to like Aerial but to be honest I was a bit disappointed after waiting so long. Tho' there are about 3 great tracks.

  • @dublinkiterunner.What about her other albums?

  • @Katefanforever Love Hounds of Love, Sensual World & Never for Ever........ Redshoes & Dreaming my least favourite..listening to Aerial now to see if I have a difference of opinion......

    Whats your Favourite Album?

  • @dublinkiterunner.My favourite album of Kate is The Dreaming but I love all her albums.

  • but cancer is beautiful!!!

  • No one can be Kate except Kate. A musical journey only she can take you on.

  • In the modern world computers are used to enhance sounds and create better music but me I sit at my keyboard or tap my tambourine. Iget the sense of nature of the aerial CD. The best music comes from nature.the outdoors is so inspiring I got Synesthesia so I hear what I see and when I'm painting I have to listen to the right music or my paintings are a mess

  • such a gay vid. Beautiful:D song - masterpiece.

  • Like it but where's the Females?

  • Beautiful! Kate is an inspiration, and I agree that Sky of Honey was well overlooked. I must see C-d-S at some point in my life! Thanks for posting :)

  • I love the sample playing throughout the whole song, very dreamy!

  • Amazing <3

  • Great song as always from Kate Bush but this video is really gay!

  • @abarthman73 Gay? Were you thinking about sex when you watched it? If you were, you missed the beauty. I'm not attacking you - just saying that people miss the beauty of most things in life when they sexualise them.

  • @McPrfctday You are totally correct. This was a masterpiece. I love the art in this show (all this from a 44 year old biker)

  • who farted?

  • kate bush with a blackbird beat that

  • This double CD, to me, represented Kate Bush's ability to kick the shit out of any other female singer/songwriter ever. Mission accomplished.

  • @rickstill122.superb guitar at the end.she s a genius.thanks to david gilmour for having discovered such talent.

  • @diztanguy You are so right

  • Thanks fot the recommendation. This video is one of my favorites.

  • OMG, spectacular.......and yes Aerial is a masterpiece, Kate is a genius...........

  • This CD is truly a major work of artistic ingeniousness from Kate Bush.

    Cheers!

  • Aerial is one of her best album

  • Grande spettacolo e momenti di musica che trasportano l'anima .Ottima combinazione artistica. Grazie BlueMorpho3, probabilmente non l'avrei mai visto se non lavessi caricato. Namasté!

  • I tried hard to like this release. Just too watered down and a little on the pretentious side. I have spent hours and hours listening to her music but this one was a bore. I liked the song Bertie though

  • @canaan1967  Oh, well.

  • @canaan1967.i like the king of the mountains and this tune.i agree.not kate s best but still worth listening to.

  • Comment removed

  • Doesnt Kate bush look EXACTLY like Mary Steenburgen???!!!!

  • @Jhunch1234 No, She's better than that old dog

  • @Jhunch1234 No she doesn't.

  • very very cleaver kate ,i like the way the you are translating the bird song into laughter...once again pure genius only you could thought of that...another masterpiece

  • it is mind-blowing..

  • I love both the song and this clip but it does not really sync musically or artistically. Still love that you have both though.

  • I was floored the first time I heard this release, I didn't know if Kate had this left in her, a stunning piece of work...

  • I've always imagined Kate's songs looking something like this. If she's seen it, I bet she approves. Personally I think it's the most amazing fucking thing I've ever seen.

  • this is so wonderful..I have no words

  • I love this song! It just makes me want to go out and run or ...... go see cirque du soleil :)

  • hot floating guys and kate bush

    whats not to like here?

  • Comment removed

  • This video had been here forever! I watched this before buying the CD. I was broke and couldn't buy it right away. I really wanted to buy it on the day of release but was too far overdrawn. I watch youtube videos to get a preview (pre-hear) and this video was such a memorable one! Thankyou!!

  • WONDERFUL!

  • You can hear the original music for this performance on YouTube. Do a search for... Aerial Straps - VAREKAI (Cirque du Soleil) ... it's nice but forgetable... it's nothing compared to Kate's Aerial... putting Kate's Aerial to this performance was a stroke of genius... Kate has been my favorite artist for 32 years now and she will always remain the best to me...

  • what? shutup she's brilliant!

  • who said she's not brilliant dumpass! I'm just pissed off with her long term delays.

  • Mi perdo spesso, ma nella sua musica mi ritrovo sempre!!! Aerial è uno dei migliori album dell'ultimo decennio... :-)

  • Anybody know what other music Circus Do Le uses? It can't be as good as this song...

  • @mrscry the original music is nothing compared to this... if you want to hear the original music do a search on YouTube for Aerial Straps - VAREKAI (Cirque du Soleil)

  • She is above excellence!!

  • the legend that is Kate Bush ^_^

  • i adore this song!!!!!!!!

    its so magic!

  • ...she sings, and talks, and laughs with the birds...

  • magnifique,trop beau, snif,snif

  • I love aerial, its a masterpiece of progressive new wave music, i wood like to see Kate work with brian eno, wood be amazing but this album is great like it is.

  • the album AERIAL is a masterpiece. especialy disck 2 ( a sky of honey ) just breathtaking.

  • Agree 100%

  • FANTASTICA !!!!!

  • Play this song loud, spin and jump around! ;)

  • The second disc of this album, Aerial, is a total MASTERPIECE. Seriously, it was majorly overlooked when it came out. It is simply stunning, timeless art for art's sake. Kate Bush paints beautifully with her words... Just purchased the piano songbook on Amazon thanks to this little reminder of Aerial's brilliance. Her genius cannot be denied. If you love this, try Joni Mitchell's "Travelogue"- Another masterpiece.

  • @childofiona Thanks so much for recommending Travelogue - it's great! And I completely agree this second disc is a masterpiece. Playing this song loudly takes me to a higher world, it's just so full of joy :-)

    Peace!

  • @childofiona She has just re-released Aerial with a new version of A Sea of Honey on disk 2.

  • @IvoryBones Correction: A Sky of Honey on disk 2*

  • @IvoryBones ....thank you so much!! Brilliant!

  • @childofiona yea ,Definately her best. kind of reminds me of Oldfields Ommadawn. Chilling with surroundings and the best of life. The kind of music that lasts a life time.

  • @childofiona

    Musically, she's just in a different class to everyone else. Ariel was a true masterpiece.

  • @filiuscarlovia.Thanks you for appreciating my work.Thanks and hello to all the fans.KB

  • @childofiona overlooked in the US, perhaps. It sold over a million copies here...

  • @childofiona

    I so agree, it is a total artwork. I also love the tenderness in her voice in the first songs on the second disc. The blackbird's song and the little cameo of her child's voice combine to make it utterly magical.

    And this video is a perfect combination of image and sound.

  • @childofiona It's AMAZING and they recently took it OFF spotify! Gutted xxx

  • @childofiona I couldn't agree more. When Aerial was released, I really liked it. Now however, after 6 years I utterly adore it. Sky of Honey was always my favourite disc but now I would add Joanni and A Coral Room to that, beautiful songs from Kate. I still listen to the 9th wave too.....off to become panoramic :-)

  • @childofiona I like you already (not in a stalky/pervy way!). Well said.

  • Comment removed

  • OMG if its true about the new album then iv got my money ready she is the best female artist that has ever come out of this country or any other!! cheryl cole is SHIT compared to kate!!

  • Interesting to hear some not so keen on aerial. For me, personally, it's best thing she has ever done. So varied & subtle. amazing hooks never overused but ever-shfitng like daylight. Sublime. She's the Anti-Madonna, all about the music, no interest in the fame.

  • Anybody else listen to "3Words" by Cheryl Cole and think it sounded like Kate?? My ears pricked up when I heard it and I am A KB megga fan...thought the arrangement was very KB......interested to see the txts mentioning a new album ;-)

  • Beautiful wonderful Kate...and yes it was rumoured, via Rolf Harris in a radio interview that Kate is in the studio.....YESSSS

  • ok aomeone put me out of my misoury PLLLLLLLEEEAAASSSEE!!! is it true that kate is working on a new album???!!!??

  • one of the few tracks i like on her last album.she can still surprise me.i know the album aerial is not great but its music is still better that any nowadays female singers.i hope she ll still write more for the fans and for myself.she is, in my eyes, the best female composer and the best female voice(excluded opera singers) of all times.she was,and still is,one of the best looking.total respect for kate.thank you so much for your wonderful music and your uniqueness

  • @diztanguy

    If I may... it is an injustice to say that she is one of the best female songwriters or singers. KB is one of the best singers and songwriters in pop music.

  • Brasil-

    Gostosa, eu te amo Kate!!

  • i love the way she laughs on this such a masterpiece! it makes me feel so...small

  • superb shut up

  • I have great respect for what the Cirque de Soleil people do, but it is just not my cup of tea. For me, it certainly does not do justice to Kate Bush' music. To each his own, I suppose.

  • ascoltando questa cantante si capisce che ricerca dei talenti, , e passione sono il futuro, quando usciremo da questa era barbarica,  tutte le scuole insegnaranno la nobile musica ai bambini e la ricerca dei loro talenti,

  • Ouep! Brillant birdy conversations,but one of the birds misspell sometimes:P

  • the first two times the bird twitters at 2:15 sound the same like german telephone in the past, when you dial a number that doesn´t exist

  • My daughter (6), said: mommy, that's what I want to do!! And I know she is not kidding... great performance by Cirque -one of my favorite Kate Bush songs.

  • This is a fantastic combination of images and music. Unfortunately both give me a feeling that i'm only opearating at about 10% of what I could be :-) oh well.

  • Et Vive Le Cirque du Soleil !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • THX-  =:o)

  • the most rockin kate bush song

  • Love that laughing conversation with the bird!

  • Isn't that conversation warped and brilliant?

  • quite original isn t it?

  • Really fantastic - video and the song.

    Great album, and outstanding song.

  • Absoluty fantastic!!!

    And love Kate:P

  • bloody hell!!!! PURE BEAUTY.. thank goodness for you tube and whoever posted this

  • thanks for the warning! lol!

  • just to warn you, this sounds ten times better on cd.

  • yes.. I agree amazing

  • wow... stunning... beautiful...amazing...

    voice of an angel...♥

  • just beautiful....

    stunning..sensual ...perfect

    Kate's song is perfect with this

  • per me questo album è da avere ... affascinante kate

  • but what is this song by her called??

  • This song is also called Aerial.

  • ~stunning~

  • das ganze album ist mir

    zu getragen

    andante andante

  • brilliant!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • When she starts laughing with the bird I almost start to cry.

    Beautiful performance, btw!

  • I hope that Kate has seen this. I love the mix of her music in the background and the breathtaking performance on the screen. I always watch it to cheer myself up.

  • Far below her best videos from the 80's

  • this isnt an actual video from her anyway but its still good :P

  • is aerial a brilliant album?...you bet!

  • what did kate have on miranda to make her do such a crappy act??

  • potrafia zachwycic , ,,zjawiskowi ''Kasia wszechstronna ,podobny temperament

  • Yeah Cirque du Soleil.....seen em twice, words dont describe how amazing they really are!!

  • spectacular music and video. ?circ de solle?. Beautifully put together. Thanks for sharing.

  • superb

  • The title song from Aerial is the last song on the second disc of the album. What strikes me is that is the way that the guitar work is allowed to break out towards the end of this song in an album in which guitars are generally either non-existent ot quite muted in sound. It is such a compelling contrast that it must have been deliberate. The laughter reminds me of madcap songs like 'Sat in your lap' and 'Rocket's Tail'.

  • Good grief, that was simply stunning!

  • bloody hell, this is amazing!!

  • Wow. Beautiful and hot beyond words.

  • just brilliant !!!!!!!!!!

  • Tutta Bella, Birdie loamo!!!***:):):) Amazing talent woven together into a masterpeice!!!***:):):) "Chin Chin" Chente Anni Salute Ciao:):):)

  • Nice blackbird.

  • Thank you for putting the video up. It is a brilliant show with some really god dancers.

  • Thank you for putting this here, it is a good show with brilliant dancer.

  • absolutely Amazing!!!!

  • superbe vidéo c'est géant quelle classe!

  • OH! These are those twins acrobats! they're SO koewl!

  • ..LOVELY......x

  • Was this performance meant to be for Kate's Aerial?

  • They look like Thing 1 and Thing 2.

  • One of the most spectacular performance ive ever seen. are they twins? Kate Bush, what good taste!
