Kate Bush - All The Love

[deadmermaid0000]

this is my fav album

[Yngelel]

No words are enough for this song. The melody in the verses is so ornate and fragile. This song has such atmosphere, it's very sparse, leaving room for reflection. Her voice starts with content tone, then the frustration seeps through giving her phrasing more and more weight...then the little boy's voice, amidst the echoing silence, acts as the consciouns, giving clarity to the self absorbed nature of us humans, to utter love to those we care for, rather than taking it with us to the grave...

[mysteryeva91]

beautiful song, beautiful photos, beautiful Kate :) The Dreaming is just incredible!

[paulpeartsmith]

I wish I could write.

I must have listened to this album hundreds of times, yet it never loses its power to stop me in my tracks. The experience is like immersing yourself into an undersea world of Kate's emotion and insight. Definition of aesthetic:

aes·thet·ic Adjective /esˈTHetik/

Concerned with beauty or the appreciation of beauty

the pictures give great aesthetic pleasure

Giving or designed to give pleasure through beauty; of pleasing appearance

The Dreaming makes darkness aesthetic.

[paulpeartsmith]

Its so lovely to be amongst the kate Clan. The dreaming confirms Kate Bush as the most important female artist ever to come from the UK. I don't say that in an idle fashion either. From the way she approaches her work to the control of her own career she took from the very beginning. We have no right to expect her to be a genius as well. Yet she is.

The Dreaming will be seen as the masterpiece that it is one day. It's amazing that she took that intensity and made The Hounds Of Love. Lucky Us!

[Wormtongue13]

Thanks for putting up so many of Kate's songs.

[orionconflict2007]

sweet song! love the boyz voice iz ultra.

[TheSensualWorld1]

I can t understand why this album didn t happen. The songs and lyrics are so powerful, compelling , dramatic. All the love you should have given, All the love we could have given...it gives me goose-bumps all over (sobs)

[robbyes777]

sorry about the double posting, internet wobblies :-)

[robbyes777]

Really don't know what it is about Kate. It seems to be a very real, emotive love which has grown deeper over the years. I'd liken it to a blending of the listener into the music, for which no other artist has the same impact ... and I love many artists from many different and diverse styles. Thank fuck Kate is there, she is a transport of delight; a reminder that there is an awakening on other levels of conciousness



[Citylight74]

Oh, what would I give to be born earlier and to meet her under the ivy as her first boyfriend? Everything!

[MrZio211]

gran bel brano..profondissimo...

[renumeratedfrog]

2 people never experienced love in their lives.

[PoshLifeforME]

Some of these pics are new to me and I have been looking at her for 25 years. Good one man.

[ProfessionalCynic]

I just noticed that the scarf--pale green, with roses--that she is wearing at 1:00, is the same one in this pic taken at least 20+ years later: h t t p colon forward slash forward slash gaffa dot org forward slash wow forward slash k16 dot jpg. Sorry for transliterating the url but sometimes youtube sucks.

I like it that she never lets go of things she loves. Very Kate-like, to me.

[vuotoscurissimo]

admirable kate

[chelpydog]

Beautiful music from a beautiful person.......my fave album from the great Kate!

[sabrinasjourney]

Happy Birthday to Kate the Great!

[alphastarcar]

Another great song by Kate that brings back the best memories.

[jungn0ir]

This song (and a lot of the dreaming) I associate with reading books like CS Lewis's Narnia chronicles. (I was probably 5, my sister had the record on repeat). It evokes the feelings and landscapes of my childhood inner universe. OK, just plain association, sure - but I wonder if this doesn't complement those imaginative, bittersweet, contemplative and noble books in a particular way. It feels like looking out over the mist of Narnia.

[thebiglebowski1993]

@jungn0ir That's the great thing about great music, they often bring back memories and while those songs are playing, it's as if we are in a different place. Many kate songs have this feeling with me, she is a genius.

[bunchie1966]

Kate's music is always different, unusual, never boring.

[never4everuk]

This song meant a lot to me when I was going through a bad time years ago, I could totally relate to it, Kate is such a lyrical genius.

[alwayswildatheart]

Huge depth and complexity to this, many people will not get it. Layers and layers to sift through- absolute musical genius, I can't think of anybody else capable of this

[TheWoodlandwitch]

an amazing song full of melancholia and regret ,here Kates genius and profundity comes through to those who can understand it . The whole album is on a level of profound genius

[tadge72]

she is a bloody genius...

[gebrauchtwagenik]

If, if The love exists? , that is it. I havve a wife since 12 years, and I need all her allove, never mind what is matter , she seeks a new one , she said, She don't thinh so, I hope

[claude1918]

This is a haunting track in it's melancholy mood - and technically, too:

1. Use of sighs is interesting. I used sighs also in a piece of mine for a classical choir (I'm studying to be a professional composer of so called classical music), and I got the idea from this track. To me, the synth pads from 1'01'' onwards also imitate human sighs.

2. Use of whispers evolves during the song. They always accompany the boy soprano, and become more and more audible every time we hear him singing.

[phillawrence]

@claude1918  I like your technical observations of this amazing song! I hadn't paid much attention to the sighs before! Reminds me of the last lines of a poem by Count Louis Hamon (Cheiro) called 'If Only We Knew':

Regrets are useless and tears are blind

And empty words can no past undo

It's no good sighing - "I'd have been more kind

If I only knew - If I only knew!"

[westpalmscott]

Very haunting, My favorite song from The Dreaming

[ajittffcure]

This is the best track on 'The Dreaming'. I just love it. It touches me a lot.

[1234singer]

Its' interesting that the voices of friends in ''We needed you to love us too ''sound more haunting than the voice of dead Kate.. Her reality of death is more real and their voices are gostly

[Aueneye]

Exactly so, well said.

[theatretart101]

Are all your other errors deliberate, too?

[EmileJoulbert]

No, prolific sounds too much like irony to me.

How about professional?

[PeterOzric]

she do what she want...that's it

[PeterOzric]

Quality!!... is important

[PeterOzric]

great song

[fantomole]

ohh damn-now i cry again:-)

[neorunt]

I know fantomole.

It draws tears from me.

The words hurt so.

[booopdooop]

Enigmatic?

[EmileJoulbert]

Incidentally, a loose woman could actually rightfully be called prolific.

I never thought about that.

Calling Kate Bush prolific is a bit like referring to her as 'that blonde woman'.

[Josezitoreq]

A shame

[EmileJoulbert]

Actually, it's a 'loose' woman.

[EmileJoulbert]

Productive:

Capable of producing something, especially in _abundance_.

Synonyms:

prolific

fertile

fruitful

What can be said about this, is that Kate herself has done very little to deserve the epithet 'prolific', even if she should inspire other artists to produce work of abundance.

Woody Allen makes one film per year.

He's prolific.

[EmileJoulbert]

In the twenty years that's passed since 'The Sensual World', the lady has only released two albums, making her very much the opposite of prolific.

If I'm not misremembering, in one of the few interviews she did in conjunction with the release of 'Aerial', she found the word 'cherished' as being a 'just lovely' description of herself.

[PeterOzric]

Lol,lol...envy

[EmileJoulbert]

Is 'prolific' really the correct word to describe Kate Bush?

[ornleifs]

One of Kate´s greatest song from here masterpiece, The Dreaming which is one of the greatest album in pop history.

[StrangeRapunzel]

you know, I wouldn't categorize kate as 'pop.' She's so diverse and I hate her music being in the same position as such crap e.g. cheryl cole, perlease! I mean, where's the talent these days?

I'd say she's popra!

[ornleifs]

Yes I agree in a way I was just using the term in it´s widest meaning like the - Classical, Jazz, Pop and World terms are used.

[fantomole]

all the love she has given! thank you :-)

[JewishVegan]

actually, girlfriend is as much irish as english.

[bigmassivebrid]

This listening of this song just encapsulates my whole Junior Cert and T.Y. years, ahh the memories of listening to Kate Bush!!!! It has been criminally too long!!! All the love I could have given!!!! Stupid schooling!!!

[parmenides7]

When your motivation is to express profound feelings and connect to others on a spiritual level, you produce art that is truly personal and original. Kate Bush is that kind of rare artist.

[justcheckin008]

As always, a song that is so original, so haunting, after you hear it a few times it will be playing day and night in your head. Kates music does that to me, just haunts me constantly that I have to keep pressing replay. But I love it, I LOVE IT!!!!!

[doobiescoo1]

I am still in mesmerized by this incredible woman.

[frobsey]

superb

[arosegrowingold]

Someday, someone will explain how a quiet school girl from Kent managed to write songs like this.

If she was at a hothouse of musical talent, it wouldn't have come out like this.

If she was a commercial product, she wouldn't have done stuff like this

She is more than one in a million, she has voice for every mood. Mine now is sleepy, late at night and nostalgic - is there a more perfect song for that mood?

[bigmassivebrid]

That makes no sense, her soul isn't quiet, it a musical spirit, explain how you don't understand that?????????????????

[Villagejonesy]

Geez... rip her head off why don't you? No need to parse every sentence for perfect, minute accuracy like that, my goodness.

[bigmassivebrid]

I can't even remember what i meant by this or why i wrote it-SCARLEH!!! :o

[johnhateley]

brill

[cloverfield911]

All we needed was the love we should have given each other.

[ErroneousClutter]

My favorite Kate album is 'The Dreaming.'

Remarkable piece of work.

[Villagejonesy]

Mine too... when I heard that it was her worst-selling album (by the time of Hounds of Love's success), I thought, "typical me... fall in love with the one album the rest of the world had no use for..." But I still feel that songs like this one had a lot of depth. You don't find this everywhere.

[millvalleyrn]

In an interview she said it was her first gig as producer ("The Dreaming"). Worked her arse off for that one. Go Kate!

[acent2112]

thank you for feeling a connection today with some one else who shares in similar sentiments Ce le bon

Gospiti po miloi

[zeburn31]

"the dreaming" is alsmost her best album for the great music/text/emotion correlation. excellent.

[butler22070]

i fell in love with this album in '82 whe i was 12 i am still haunted ( ney moved to my core) to this day

[andyspet]

this lp is genius, or cd for this century.

[macksboy87]

what is this song about?

[Symphonyofflowers]

Well, from what I have read it's about how people don't tell each other that they love them when they are alive. They only say it when they are dead and then it's too late. So the message of the song is: Tell people that you love them while they are alive.

[FinnMove]

This whole album The Dreaming is a masterpiece of Kate Bush. Better than Hounds of Love. Too bad this was too "fine" music

to so many. I bought it as a new in 1982.

[FinnMove]

Well, it´s not gloomy if your fantasy

is free. It´like wandering in a ghost place.

Like English moors for example. This the

same for may of The Dreaming songs, too.

[FinnMove]

Minun vuoroni on tuoda mielipiteeni tästä

laulusta. Olin jakamassa postia syksyllä 1982 pimeässä ja nämä The Dreaming- kappaleet kaikuivat korvissani.

I believe that Finnish is that strange as this wonderful track.

[Villagejonesy]

Reincarnation.

[Villagejonesy]

And what symphonyofflowers said.

[Mysiop69]

Thanks!!!Dziękuję!!!Nie słyszałem od 20 lat...The best song Kate for me.Beautiful,beautiful,beautif­ul!!!Love"All the love"Love Kate...

[sheepydee]

wow gdgd

[DavyMack]

great song and excellent video!

[wakingneddevine]

This song is so depressing. :( But her voice is so beautiful.

[sswkr]

many many thanks for posting this song and lyrics. since i am not English speaking man, i have been unable to understand the meaning of the song. but now i see what she says. thank you again!

[Symphonyofflowers]

You're welcome!

[appy51]

Fine song and video very creative but in my oppinion Houdini is the best song of The Dreaming album.

[xXxMysticalMoonxXx]

god i love this song

very strange sounding i think

but i love the lyrics

[Symphonyofflowers]

Thank you. How do you like the video?

[xXxMysticalMoonxXx]

there are some lovely pictures

some ones ive never seen

great job =]

[Symphonyofflowers]

Thank you! I searched hard to find those pictures.

[Villagejonesy]

Ditto what MysticalMoon said: I'd never seen some of these pictures, they're great! And I'm surprised anyone could find new ones I hadn't already seen...
