A cheesy and commercial song of Kate. When i heard it for the first time in 1993, i was shocked. How was it possible that she released a crap like that ? It was the beginning of the end in my opinion ( comfirmed by the very weak " Aerial " album and the catastrophique " Director's cut " ).
" Babooshka " ( on the fantastic " Never for Ever " album) was also a "commercial" song but much more classy and better in the composition.
@99Matthias99 Is this is Kate being cheesy and commercial, I'll still take it, time and again, over the crap in the charts today! You are entitled to your opinion of course but I feel this and the Albums "Aerial" and "Director's Cut" still give a powerful flavour of Kate's lyrical genius and quirky, unsurpassed artistry!
After intensive 'The Dreaming" listening I bumped into this song and I just couldn't believe that Kate recorded something which sounds like this. What I cannot believe even more is that I actually just love it ;D
@marczella4 feel like THe Red Shoes is a lot like The Dreaming. you've got the pounding drums and Kate Bush goes quite crazy in songs like Lily and this one.
Kate Bush DVD of all her singles, I mean all nothing left out even the obscure ones like suspended in gaffa, december will be magic etc. Long over due.
While I was at school doing work placement at the Office of National Statistics in 1993 this is the song I remember being on the radio, along with Boom Shake the room by jazzy jeff and the fresh prince.
@goldenhorn1967 The lyrics imply that she is really hurting and being a Rubberband Girl would make her stronger, she had broken up a long-term relationship and her mother had died too. It is clever and works well with the raw lyrics of And So Is Love .
Im only 16 but thanks to my mum i was introduced to Kate Bush who is a musical genius only she could write such weird and wonderful music not to mention her quirky videos .Keep it up Kate pleasssseee write another album :D
I've been listening and watching my musical (and dance) hero, Kate, on YouTube for a while now - she is an inspirational original artist, so why is everyone so suprised that Tori Amos or Lady Gaga might have been driven in their careers by her work? Kate Bush is brilliant - celebrate that, and that there may yet be some other genius waiting in the wings she inspires enough to take her on mantle - not begrudge other artists success.
Rather pointless geek comment: @ 3:30 the lead guitarist missed his cue to do that high-pitched fancy-finger-work thing... the short, blonde guy back there.
@KateFan I can't be bothered to look that up... it's pathetic enough that I've commented at all... I'm selfishly addicted to this entertainment... not so good...
Perhaps we the viewers should take a moment to understand that Bush had/has millionaire parents who probably helped her here & there... you know, just a bit, to get started... hooking her up with David Gilmour & the like... a bit of the "it's not what you know, it's who you know" (that applies to lots of people) principle: just a bit!
@tobynsaunders . do some research you muppet. her parents do/did not have (millions) or set her up with gilmour. like i said do some work before posting your uneducated comments.
@robbnhood riiight... her doctor father & dancer mother had nothing to do with her meeting Gilmour... right. 'Milions' could be wrong, but I didn't mean liquid-wealth... I'm talking real estate, net-wealth... maybe 1 million... anyway, she probably wouldn't have that career if she was born to less money, that's a simple point. 'Muppet' is presumably slander; not very nice.
@tobynsaunders Kate's father was just a doctor, which made them comfortable. It wasn't a millonaires profession then. The cost of living was anywhere near what it is now. They had a daughter who was writing songs from the age of 13, The Kick Inside was sophisicated writing for anyone, let alone a teenage girl.. So want it they helped her, that is what parents do.. In was Kate that wrote the songs, it was Kate that maintained her career with original and brilliant work.
I don't agree woth you. Kate is a genious, ilove her. But Tori Amos is also a great musician and singer. the right answer is : who the f... is Lady gaga???
I' going on 65... I show the much younger generation your art thy really love you, but don't want me to know.. I guess this has to do with being mature..
Oh Kate, I love you for everything that you are; brilliant composer/lyricist, fantastic choreographer and amazing dancer and incredible director of videos. Did I miss anything? Yeah - she's hot. Thanks for posting.
The british have a more artistic sense of 'pop' than north america. unfortunately the britneys and such are infecting and dumbing down the music industry around the world also. Kate Bush is one of the most popular female artist in british history. she was the first female artist in britain to have an original number one song; 'wuthering heights'
Remember this song from the 90s. But it always reminded me of those mid to late 80s Eurythmics type videos(think Missionary Man) and the sound is kind of 80s style.
Fun video to watch even if gets cheesy at the 3:48 mark
Long time since I've seen this. Hardly ever saw the video but it stuck in my mind. I remember this was her early 90s comeback. I was about 12. She's a true original, such a visionary.

I remember at the time thinking this song put Kate in the Dad Rock group (with Sting & Rod Stewart & all the other oldies)... it's good but it still sounds a bit naff...
Enjoyable enough. When compared with her more daring work from The Dreaming and Hounds Of Love, its kind of underwheming though. The Dreaming is her best album in my oppinion.
i agree... but, i also appreciate this too - i do like how shes blends techniques and styles she used in the dreaming, hounds of love and snesual world - into the red shoes album, its all more passive and sublte though. the more i hear those little influesnces, i like it more - you can hear the "bulgarain choir" voices here (not literally of course...
@TheZakopanenapokaz Wank your little, tiny dick for a Tori Amos Poster poor polish boy. Don't waste my time - you boring me. You're next fuckin' inappropriate response debarks unread in my garbage ;))

when I was younger, and we danced the same way in dannce class. It looks easy to dance withsomeone directly behind you like this....but its NOT EASY, and takes many hours of practice.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i was in her " big sky " video.... lovely girl,and nice boobies. too bad she smokes. or did then.... she will NEVER tour again!!! she only became a singer for the filthy lucre. still.... i will always enjoy her music.
yeah, I think all her strait male fans would agree. It pisses me off that people "thumbs down" comments like this. So none of you have ever had crushes on singers you admire???
is it "straight"? Sorry, I always fuck up stuff like that and Firefox's spell check can only correct a small percentage of the asinine/obvious-to-most-5th-graders mistakes I make.
I'm right there with you oddn. I would give anything to see Kate bush live. She only ever done one tour and i wasn't even born then. She could Sell out an entire tour in hours if she decided to do one.
Kate I beg you, please, please tour. Just once, one tiny tour. You don't have to dance or perform at all, just you singing at a piano with no flashy effects or lighting would be more than enough. I'd give almost anything just to see you play one song. Please do it for the 30 year anniversary.
Our love for her in North America is great in a way that it can't be in Europe since she's not as well known over here. But the minute you meet someone and it's established that they love her too, it's like you wonder if this is someone you need to fall in love with!
Occasionally however you get an artist who not only breaks the mold, but is such an odd shape that creating a mold to replicate the shape is near on impossible, i.e Kate Bush, David Bowie, e.t.c., in this instance their work becomes very popular because it is self apparently brilliant yet at the same time elusive to copying and remains something of an anomaly. (I've had too much coffee to drink.)
Anyway the moral of the story is Variety = Good, Uniformity= Bad.
Once again I'd have to agree. Variety allows species, industries, and stock portfolios survive when things that once were popular are no longer popular or are struck down by one thing. Make everything the same and something can destroy one thing just as easily as it destroyed the thing next to it that was exactly the same.
American auto makers didn't really prepare for things to get bad like this and kept pushing their trucks while ignoring their car line up (something that worked in the '90s when S.U.V.s were popular, fuel didn't hit $4-5, and money was easier to come by)—now they're paying dearly.
Thus meaning that when people tire of this current sound that ridiculously dominates the Top 40—despite not even having distinct enough variations to call itself a genre—record companies will be hurting.
I'm not going to slag Madonna off in this instance because I actually think that 'Material Girl' is an excellent pop song, BUT, this song rules, as does it's maker.
That I understand. It's hard to get pop this inspired these days with R&B meets rap songs (masquerading as pure pop) auto-tuned to the point of being practically vocoded ruling all but about 3 slots in the Top 40.
Yes I know. Good pop can be incredible. Trouble is that once something becomes popular it's replicated virally throughout it's particular cultural sphere. Do you think that white owned record and television companies give a shit about black music. Of course not. But they realise it's popularity and flood the market with it, thus destroying variety. It's a cynical, cynical money making business.
Although last time we had R&B and pop fuse in a very commercial way things at least sounded better. I mean I'd take New Jack Swing over auto-tuned R&B stuff.
Hell, even Nelly Furtado was a breath of fresh air when her first album came out. Catchy and made you smile. While her new stuff is a bit too similar to other people's stuff. I mean heck "Say it Right" sounds just like a cut that didn't make it on to Madonna's Bedtime Stories album—which wasn't bad, but that's just not NF's style.
COMPLETLEY agree with you about uniformity being wide open to destruction. Human culture should emulate Nature, where Variety, Hybridizing and Evolution insure survival. I also totally agree with you. I love bands like Nine Inch Nails, Radiohead, Bauhaus, e.t.c BUT I also really appreciate acts like Nelly Furtardo. Your right, she was kooky and light and cool to listen to and now she's been absorbed into the fold. Good pop really does pack a powerful punch.
This is a total rip off of Sheena Easton's "Strut"

is it "straight"? Sorry, I always fuck up stuff like that and Firefox's spell check can only correct a small percentage of the asinine/obvious-to-most-5th-graders mistakes I make.

Starts pretty cheesily, but then the yoyo at 3:10 and the strait jacket (!!!!!)
Kate, you are so unbelievably lovely and mental - and at 35 you were still dancing better than Madonna was at 25!
Danny MacIntosh (2:50) is a lucky man indeed.

I'm right there with you oddn. I would give anything to see Kate bush live. She only ever done one tour and i wasn't even born then. She could Sell out an entire tour in hours if she decided to do one.
kevg69 2 years ago
Kate I beg you, please, please tour. Just once, one tiny tour. You don't have to dance or perform at all, just you singing at a piano with no flashy effects or lighting would be more than enough. I'd give almost anything just to see you play one song. Please do it for the 30 year anniversary.

I sure wish Kate Bush would have a proper tour and come to America...

Why? Americans don't even know she is... (more fool them.)

You would be surprised the people I know love and adore her but obviously not like Europe. It is unlikely she will tour ever, what a shame..
LBjim 2 years ago 2
Our love for her in North America is great in a way that it can't be in Europe since she's not as well known over here. But the minute you meet someone and it's established that they love her too, it's like you wonder if this is someone you need to fall in love with!

@SpySlowhands So true. Kate's North American fans are many and fierce even if she is still considered an acquired taste here, and I'm glad she is.

Occasionally however you get an artist who not only breaks the mold, but is such an odd shape that creating a mold to replicate the shape is near on impossible, i.e Kate Bush, David Bowie, e.t.c., in this instance their work becomes very popular because it is self apparently brilliant yet at the same time elusive to copying and remains something of an anomaly. (I've had too much coffee to drink.)
Anyway the moral of the story is Variety = Good, Uniformity= Bad.
Aueneye 2 years ago 5
Once again I'd have to agree. Variety allows species, industries, and stock portfolios survive when things that once were popular are no longer popular or are struck down by one thing. Make everything the same and something can destroy one thing just as easily as it destroyed the thing next to it that was exactly the same.

American auto makers didn't really prepare for things to get bad like this and kept pushing their trucks while ignoring their car line up (something that worked in the '90s when S.U.V.s were popular, fuel didn't hit $4-5, and money was easier to come by)—now they're paying dearly.
Thus meaning that when people tire of this current sound that ridiculously dominates the Top 40—despite not even having distinct enough variations to call itself a genre—record companies will be hurting.

For some reason the backing instrumentation (the bassline) makes me think of some of the instrumentation in Madonna's "Material Girl".
maikerugo 2 years ago
I'm not going to slag Madonna off in this instance because I actually think that 'Material Girl' is an excellent pop song, BUT, this song rules, as does it's maker.
Aueneye 2 years ago 4
That I understand. It's hard to get pop this inspired these days with R&B meets rap songs (masquerading as pure pop) auto-tuned to the point of being practically vocoded ruling all but about 3 slots in the Top 40.
maikerugo 2 years ago
Yes I know. Good pop can be incredible. Trouble is that once something becomes popular it's replicated virally throughout it's particular cultural sphere. Do you think that white owned record and television companies give a shit about black music. Of course not. But they realise it's popularity and flood the market with it, thus destroying variety. It's a cynical, cynical money making business.

Although last time we had R&B and pop fuse in a very commercial way things at least sounded better. I mean I'd take New Jack Swing over auto-tuned R&B stuff.
Hell, even Nelly Furtado was a breath of fresh air when her first album came out. Catchy and made you smile. While her new stuff is a bit too similar to other people's stuff. I mean heck "Say it Right" sounds just like a cut that didn't make it on to Madonna's Bedtime Stories album—which wasn't bad, but that's just not NF's style.

COMPLETLEY agree with you about uniformity being wide open to destruction. Human culture should emulate Nature, where Variety, Hybridizing and Evolution insure survival. I also totally agree with you. I love bands like Nine Inch Nails, Radiohead, Bauhaus, e.t.c BUT I also really appreciate acts like Nelly Furtardo. Your right, she was kooky and light and cool to listen to and now she's been absorbed into the fold. Good pop really does pack a powerful punch.

Great video, multi-talented Kate at her best. Her background is in modern dance, that's why she's such an active participant in her videos.

This song is so different for Kate. One of her finest, up there with Wuthering Heights and Running Up That Hill, in my opinion.
