It's about our endless search for knowledge but our apathy towards actually making any effort to get it: "I want to be a lawyer, I want to be a scholar, but I really can't be bothered ohh just gimme it NOW GIMEE GIMEE GIMEE". Generally giving up on things we aren't immediately brilliant at really early.
……. The 1st track on her Lp, "The Dreaming", I was christened a Kate Bush fan for life when this came out in '82. Thank you, SolWolfPunk, for this upload. Magic, after all these years (disappears in a splash of colours) ~ (•8-D
'The Dreaming' CD. It's the album where Kate starts to (happily) shed her squeaky Bettie Boop voice and dealve into some truly kick ass rhythms. She even sings in different accents for specific songs: a callous Aussie for 'The Dreaming' & a Cockney thug for 'There Goes a Tenner.' Gotta love it because it works so well.
The song is about a quest for spiritual knowledge, not just school learning. The tall dunce caps and swirling roller-skating dance movements are also meant to evoke the motions of the Dervishes, whose holy spinning dances try to unite mortality with God. Kate has always been interested various spiritualities and addresses many of them in her early songs.
Hence the dunce cap to communicate that we all feel stupid at times when others around us seem to have obtained a higher knowledge. Thinking that "when I am King" from climbing the knowledge mountain, it will suddenly feel like wisdom is "sat in your lap". But she goes on to express that no matter how much energy you put in to this endeavour, there's always more mountain to climb. It is never ending.
im 18 and her music is lovely and so unique. She's my fave female artist, well kate and debby harry. No female artist today has anything on kate shes an individual and has great talent. And she has lovely big eyes. A natural beauty, just class she is, so mysterious and feminine.
I must admit, I came across this video by accident. WTF. It is one of the weirdest videos I've ever come accross, I mean where do I begin? Indescribable. There's the KKK, Jesters, some wacky/crazy girl, probably a foreigner, I'm not sure what it's about? The meaning of Life? Learning? Jesters? Racism? Being weird? She reminds me of like Bjork or something? So many questions, such little quantity of acid. Can somebody explain/help me out here? How do I get to mars?
LOL :) It is not the KKK it is a dunce cap (in the old days the of cruel teaching methods, teachers would place a dunce cap on you if you got the answer wrong etc.)She is from England.The lyrics are provided up the page and to the right.
I think the dunce caps (and white cotumes to match) might have been intentionally designed to allude to the KKK. I'm not quite sure why though... Bush tends to leave me with many many question :P
Here. I kinda wanna know what it means myself, so I'll look it up. Just a sec...This song is about humanity's quest to find knowledge, which is usually limited by unwillingness to devote the effort needed to get it. Kate bush rocks, by the way. You should listen to more of her music. Give it a go, will you?

How beautiful is our Kate? Stuff Britney and the likes. Pure genius,beauty,talent,inspiring,powerful,tear jerking awe. Kate,we love you.I sing your songs while I'm at sea,loved you since school,I'll be 40 next year,you and your music has got me through life,but I'd still happily sell my boat to stay home with you. So much love for you..........XXXXXXXXXXXX

There is no female artist who is quite close to what Kate Bush has done- Tori Amos is very good though however Bush's range is comparable to the likes of The Beatles. Can you imagine trying to put across the concept of this quasi-medieval looking video?

She is reaching for a goal in her mind that she thinks will bring her contentment and happiness that always ends up being the carrot on the stick.

For fuck's sake. I am fed up to the back teeth of people WRONGLY reading KKK overtones in to the white costumes of the Scholars in the video.
If anyone has these knee jerk reactions to the Scholar iconography, then that says a lot about what is going on in YOUR head and not Kate's.
The costume was designed to express Kate's frustration of attaining knowledge and wisdom as a human being.
