Kate Bush - Jig Of Life

[angeluntie]

come on let me live (boy)! thanks.

[SPQSpartacus]

@raedras Being Finnish, I approve liking Nightwish. Although personally, I prefer Tarja Turunen as lead singer. This new one just doesn't oomph.

[MrBlackhat2719]

NICE VIDEO THX

[Raedras]

Really, why is it that every good genre and each artist in it gets shut out of society? I listen to too many genres to say I don't listen to mainstream music, but when I come and listen to music like Kate Bush, Inkubus Sukkubus, Nightwish, Eluveitie, and really any foreign folk/Pagan music I can't help but hate the way the music of my generation looks.

[CorDeGeleia]

Makes me feel so passionate about life!

[Hausofdye]

Where are you getting the picture at 0:13?

[Hausofdye]

@Hausofdye NVM, I just had to read in the info. lol.

[MrThatjim]

I am in love with Kate Bush

[T0mat0S0up]

@MrThatjim Arent we all?

[darren1naudi]

Bjork of the '80's. Only better though

[TheKatyPB]

A family affair...I love it. "Tripping on the water like a laughing girl..."

[jackson70]

have always loved this song..Bless.

[thed0dgydancer]

She's just so... fascinating

[namelessneed]

above all, my favorite, decided

[spheresector]

Id like to add that the second male voice is of an american astronaut talking from his capsule to ground control... probably on re entry !

[spheresector]

Thank u so much for your efforts...spe with the lyrics!Greetings from Germany.

[1ngmar8ergman]

This is the Kate Bush I adore!

[katekakes]

loooove this!!!!

[elohism]

BEAUTIFUL SONG

[USarmysynesterrev]

i love the drumming

[MiramichierA1]

Art like Kate Bush's is, to paraphrase W O Mitchell, how we know we are not alone.

[MrMinky09]

i love kate bush-she's sh**s on all those numbskull idiots calling themselves artists out now.

[TheJimbolicious]

OOOOVER HEERE!!!

[Tatapali]

Wspaniała płyta,wspaniały artysta,pozdrowienia z Polski ! Kasia rządzi do dziś...

[urgaul]

ich dachte es wär dave brook alles klar

[modifiedcontent]

This is the future self of the drowning girl speaking - 'never say goodby to my part of your life ... it doesnt belong to you. it belongs to me and your little boy and your little girl ...' It has nothing to do with wicca and paganism. Kate Bush was raised Catholic.

[Parthoris]

The best album ever made: HOUNDS OF LOVE.

[titoux1260]

chere catherine , nous sommes tous "sat in your lap" .

[Lyssilence]

Wow, how stupid I just got into Kate Bush, while I know her name for so long. I love this!

[thenavajoknow]

Much as love all of her work before The Red Shoes, I really think Kate reached the pinnacle of her craft with The Ninth Wave. Such a density of brilliance in songwriting, lyrics, production, such amazing artistic and aesthetic perfection paired with emotional depth. A sublime moment of "pop music," if you even want to call it that, it's up there with the finest by The Beatles, Miles Davis, Debussy, Beethoven...

[ClaireIsntCool]

@thenavajoknow Wow that was a mouthful,couldn't have said it better thou I still think more recognition is deserved her songs and lyrics won't be forgotten,they're too great!

[GolliwoggMusic]

Golliwogg APPROVES of this song.

[erdals]

asigim sana kate bush. amazing. 

[177coc]

J'ADORE !!!!! SPLENDIDE !!!!!!

[spheresector]

if of interest: The voices at the end of song is an astronaut and groundcontrol speaking through a wireless,probably during an apollo mission!

[Lewsir46]

I hear Tori Amos here. But that is to say, Tori Amos sounds like this. Kate came first - so many followed her. And she was bringing it when she was blody 18 years old. She really innovated - and still does - she is a very courageous woman.

[nancyl2]

I was blown away at the depth of this vid as it went straight to the core of my Soul. CHILLS radiating all through my body. I have been sharing wisdom I gleaned on a Method being used called 'The Total Sound Resonance." My understanding is there are 7 specially programmed BEings in place 2 in USA the others at important ley lines. ALL musicians/genre's of artistic expression being used to harmonically in-tune our harmonics with Gaia. We must be in sync.THIS vid is an exp of the musics power.<3

[Blackcat118118]

Hounds of love is one of the greatest albums ever, in my opinion

Anyone else agree??

[ICEandWATERLILIES]

@Blackcat118118 Sure! <3 

[ruttingbull]

primo cookie

[TheWitchlilith]

sorry, i mean pagan ;o)

[TheWitchlilith]

Yes, Tori sounds like Kate Bush and i like this womens very much. Kate has been one of the first people who make me feel like a pagen and see more than other people...i have been 11 years old. greetings from germany to all wiccas :o)

[henry707]

@TheWitchlilith The cleansing flames will bring you back to the church ;o)

[winehousedrunk]

@henry707 Rather not. The church is lies upon lies.

[7855waldo]

Irish rap.



[cloudboheme]

2:10-2:20 what a glorious painting!

[lucypuddlejumper]

Cool music and art!!!!!!! But what's with all the pentagrams?

[nlwnb1]

@lucypuddlejumper

I believe that to be a pentacle not a pentagram. The pentacle is a wiccan symbol. The five points of a pentacle represent the four elements plus the spirit and the circle connects them all. Many feel Kate's music connects to their spirit as much or more than most musicians. Perhaps it is because of this  the artist that did the painting in the video made use pentacles.

[nigshakespeare]

The only Kate Bush track I really don't like.

[Picnicl]

@nigshakespeare Because it's a straight forward Irish jig? It still has a few subtle enjoyable quirks though. Like 1.11-1.17 when her voice continues in the background when she starts singing 'Never never say goodbye'. And 'Never never never never let me go' is a great , forceful , line. And the snapping in the background e.g. 2.19 as it goes quicker. But, yes, there are other songs that I prefer on Hounds of Love.

[klessner68]

@nigshakespeare whatever :-D

[Leaf13]

Doesn't get any better than Kate Bush

[GeneralFatalError]

Toujours aussi vivant et fort dans mon coeur ... Cette femme a accompagné ma vie.

Merci

[kelamuni]

Wow. 

[GoodVibesOfficial]

♪♫♥ !

[ididntididnt]

Your art-work is quite frankly, very deeply disturbing.

[Hermaphroukdebate]

@ididntididnt A stupid comment...and of course nonsense...the art work is completely concordant with kate bush's music...are you a right wing mindless christian sheepy?

[Renatakirkland]

Love it

[TheZigouCerberus]

Love <3, and so much better than the crap they do today, real voice real music, real goose bumps. We miss you so much Kate

[AAATSCHE]

This is AWESOME!



[angiepee]

Can anyone tell me what the jig music is that starts around 1.38 please? I know it from having this album when it was out originally, but I heard this piece the other day and it took me back to some good times! Wondered if it was a piece of Irish Jig which had been incorporated in this song or if it was written by Kate. Thanks in advance

[T0mat0S0up]

@angiepee if you find out then please let me know, I would love to know - thank you

[bautzralf]

@T0mat0S0up a jig is an ancient dance aprox. 16 th. century, with an upbeat and are performed in 6/8 time

[T0mat0S0up]

@bautzralf thanks for replying but Im looking for the name of the piece, cheers.

[TheNmg21]

@angiepee dont know the name but try looking for the band Planxty I think they are the musicians

[gotmihandstuck]

Kate,,How about doing an album with Mark Knopfler.....instant chemistry!!!?

[mkobrowski]

I loved this song before I knew Planxty. No wonder I loved it so much as Donal Lunny and especially Liam O'Flynn are amazing!

[gotmihandstuck]

Kate is the finest of the british performers..there's only one other thing she needs to do.........PLEASE COME BACK TO US!!

[kimmers570]

I put this moment here... I put this moment over here... god...love it sooo much!!!

[mccscott45]

power to raise up and throw down

[Sharmilka]

Is it just my impression or she sounds a bit like Tori in this song?

[chipmunktubetop]

@Sharmilka No, Tori sounds like Kate.

[Sharmilka]

@chipmunktubetop I know what you mean. Ok, fine:) Agree :)))

[batchushka]

@Sharmilka You mean Tori sounds like Kate. Kate was probably Tori's idol :))

[Sharmilka]

@batchushka I think she was. Funny how she was reluctant to admit it. And I remember Tori said the difference between Kate and her was the amout of weed they were smoking :D

[modifiedcontent]

@Sharmilka, the different between Kate and Tori is talent and originality.

[Zyphera]

I just love this music, Kate Bush is so good. And who is the man singing?

[Symphonyofflowers]

@Zyphera That man is her oldest brother, John Carder Bush. He is reading his own poem.

[bruteforcetraining]

@Symphonyofflowers That is Awesome :)

[fantompoet]

@Symphonyofflowers I thought it was a poem by Tennyson... maybe inspired by a Tennyson poem?

[KarenReadsTwilight]

@Symphonyofflowers No wonder his voice is so sexy!

[LastDispensation]

@Symphonyofflowers He sounds just like Julian Cope

[Flame666haze]

@Symphonyofflowers That is half incorrect John did indeed write lyrics but he isnt singing that part from what i know.

[Symphonyofflowers]

@Flame666haze No, it is John reading the poem. It says so in the album credits and all the information I have read says that it is him.

[Flame666haze]

@Symphonyofflowers K my bad than sry , memory getting weak this days T.T

[EnviroNika]

@Zyphera it's written in description .)

[bogeybast]

A thing of beauty is a joy forever.

[robbo3870]

bloody awesome song, sent shivers down my spine

[Trund27]

wowee wow wow.great video and song

[DCSDKA]

She is brilliant

[sheezagirl]

I put this moment here--> :-)

[LoserBabyLuna]

This is ridiculous amounts of awesome.

[anitaforgeth]

here, there and everywhere

[INITIALSJE]

Kate - my eternal obsession..

[ellenmelon771]

I loooooooooooove this song so much, I dance around to it all the time. XD

[SuperLollylegs]

This vid is wonderful...some beautiful images.

[Keithss1000]

Kate is great as always...Is that the Chieftans in the background?

[Symphonyofflowers]

@Keithss1000 No, it's not The Chieftains. The Irish musicians are John Sheahan on fiddles and whistles, Donal Lunny on bouzouki and bodhran and Liam O'Flynn on uillean pipes. Donal Lunny and Liam O'Flynn were members of Planxty.

[mkobrowski]

@Symphonyofflowers I loved this song before I knew Planxty. No wonder I loved it so much as Donal Lunny and especially Liam O'Flynn are amazing!

[leahhuddleston]

@Symphonyofflowers

Thank you. I've always wondered.

[TheRotkappchen1]

when I dance to then I always lose myself!

[duremikaina85]

Oh, Kate's natal chart. I personally think it's very deep, i mean her chart is very intersting. i'm interested in astrology, you know.

[BrandonsVictim]

amazing song

[robbie69612]

Beautiful, Really nice clip Great images, thanks for the post.

[rathbloom24]

GENIUS.

[HardWarUK]

Excellent art! Do you sell it? It is it computer graphics or scans? This track from the album is too good to really find words...

[Symphonyofflowers]

@HardWarUK No, I don't sell it because I didn't make it. The paintings of Kate are by an artist called Herb Leonhard and he sells copies of his paintings. You can find a link to his website in the description of this video.

[djfinex]

there is no substitute, Kate Bush is unmatched in what she does

[vuotoscurissimo]

admirable kate

[Justtc]

Wow! You did an amazing job with this! ...WOW seems to be a recurring comment! There are simply no better words

[Symphonyofflowers]

@Justtc Thank you!

[ellenmelon771]

The feeling this song gives me is just.... indescibable. It makes me feel really powerful. I especially love the jig music. It sounds just like a song that would aid the creation of the universe. I know I sound sooo weird right now but that's just how it is.

[phoenixxashes]

Wow...

Briefly... I'm writing a novel and was looking for this song to link to a vital scene as the influence... the lyrics have been an inspiration to me at times, almost as if the main character was urging me to write.

And your clip has just totally blown me away! The artwork here could be illustrations, the pics could be the main character during several stages of the story.

I'd love your blessing to link to this clip. Send me a msg if you'd like a look at the story. I won't spam here :o)

[Symphonyofflowers]

@phoenixxashes Yes, you're welcome to link to it just as long as you give me credit.

[gtakos1]

the music is higlhy influenced by the tranditional music of pontos....and especially the celebrtion of anastenaria..in the village Agios Kostantinos in thrace(Greece)were people dance barefoot in the fire without burning

[camelitto1]

an amazing artist, sensual voice, kate you are magic

[triplettam]

Symphony, you have the same soul as Kate's. I hope you pursue it.

[Symphonyofflowers]

@triplettam Thank you! That was a really nice comment.

[key2kingdom]

Great slideshow with this heroic song.

Blessed Be!

[11case1]

omg, never say : goodbye

[8verycalm4]

I get shills when John Carder Bush starts. What a song.

[parrotchops]

Did you do all the graphic art? Great work!

[Symphonyofflowers]

@parrotchops Thank you! No, I didn't do the art work. All the pictures in the video are downloaded from different websites. The paintings of Kate are by a painter called Herb Leonhard. You can find a link to his website in the description of the video.

[dbeasht]

Did you do the lovely art work??

[thegreatauk01]

very Celtic, love it!

[peecogs]

love it thanks x

[vitekpiglet]

I'm a little bit surprised, as I am quite sure the space shuttle voices at the end of this clip do not belong here - they are the beginning of "Hello, Earth", aren't they?, so they should not have been included in this clip in my opinion.

BTW, both, "Jig of Life" and "Hello, Earth" as well as the whole "Tne Ninth Wave" suite are exaples of Kate's genius as a musician, vocalist, composer, poet and Artist in general...

[Snuffomatica]

This song gives me goosebumps every time. Thank you Symphonyofflowers for this great video and the info too - I didn't know the 'rap' part was her older brother.

[TallisTriptych]

@Snuffomatica it's not "rap" at the end of the song , Its her brother reciteing poetry . peace

[Snuffomatica]

@TallisTriptych Did you not even notice the quotes?

[MrRayD8]

Awesome work! thankyou for this. XXX

[NatashaPetrovna]

Is it "laughing girl"? I thought it is "like laughing gull"...

[hiraethchild]

@NatashaPetrovna laughing girl. It's the Irish accent that makes it sound like "gull".

[LadyGrinningSoulDiva]

I love all these fantastic video Symphonyofflowers. Great stuff!

[sazzlie]

She is so underated. Thank you x

[skycladwow]

Thanks for sharing kate's videos with me, love them all :)

[Symphonyofflowers]

@skycladwow You're welcome!

[never4everuk]

I forgot how good this song is.

[ysbaddaden2003]

I've heard the debate for years, is Kate Bush a Witch?

Mysticism can be found in many religions. Ancient Greeks had their muses like Terpsichore of Dance and Polyhymnia of religious music, Christians had their Origines Adamantius, St John Chrysostom, St Theresa of Avilla and Dionysius the Areopagite, Islam had their Whirling Dervishes, Jews probably have something similar.

Like John Lennon boiled everything down to Love, Kate Bush boils everything down to musical mysticism with no name..

[NatashaPetrovna]

@ysbaddaden2003

But there is nothing mystic in being a witch...

[Atsushisarmy]

There is EVERYTHING mystic in being a witch! Wo/man in union with Nature. Wo/man as healer. Circle of life! JIG of LIFE!!

[NatashaPetrovna]

@Atsushisarmy

I know a lot about this myself, and I do not consider it mystic, on the contrary completely natural...

[Jadesong]

I put this moment here, I put this moment here.

[rrgane]

As to Pentagrams, would it surprise you to look at the American Flag to notice there are fifty of them there? The Pentagram has been linked by many religious establishments to denote some sort of evil, however it was usually an attempt to elevate one religious view over another. As to why many Kate Bush fans incorporate them into fan-art, is probably because of a Wiccan link as there does seem to be a Wiccan sympathetic view in a lot of Kate Bush's art.

[MrRayD8]

Awesome Video Thanks..

[IWannabeJew]

I blame Kate for giving me unrealistic romantic aspirations.

[skycladwow]

i live my life through kate

[integration1000]

@skycladwow.I can't say that but her music is very important for me.

[Livyathan2007]

Her finest moment

[Hermaphroukdebate]

Kate Bush is not just a great female artist, she is a great artist period.

Her music is genius.

A talent like no other.

[cdgt1]

Peace, trust and freedom from love. Manjana I love you. Please forgive us.

[AkuraNanabi]

I put this moment over here...

[diztanguy]

kate bush is the beatles of female singers.she can write music as good as big rock bands.she is quite phenomenal and dwarf all other female singers.she s naturally gifted and her music is always original and very crafty.thanks God for such gift to my ears.love you KATE!

[LadyScriabina]

She´s the best thing ever

[Rastavalor]

She's just so beautiful, and an amazing singer, with incredible songs. And she's crazy, that's why I love her. Brilliant song.

[jpuhakk]

Kate; the way you use your voice makes me smile. We live in a hard world, we need you still, please continue your stunning career..

[scottwebb]

Probably the classiest chick in the occultist world and one who i would back

[MobiusBandwidth]

Holy music.

[XxfufuberryxX]

shes just outstanding , no one can beat her wonderful weirdness

[florencelovme]

@XxfufuberryxX Oh but I know what you mean

[assburgers95]

wow she's very beatiful

[TheWindfull]

lovely

[diztanguy]

this song is about white magic.-KATE-

[tpch]

What it's about - the protagonist is adrift on the sea. She sees (imagines?) her future self singing and dancing before her, telling her not to die (otherwise the future self will cease to exist).

[BarbarafromGermany]

just thank you... Kate you are going under my skin...

[leelifeson]

Fantastic record hounds of love. 10 out of 10.

[witchcerridwen]

yes the sound is wonderfull but what does the song say?

[ajww1308]

a good selection of KB pics. Have been a fan from the beginning. Love her stuff always

[asbrinkman]

Loved this all my life!

[Tristanique]

My favourite from Hounds of Love ;3

[grantha]

wow!!

[dhm80]

haunting!

[josie421]

Oooh, thank you for this -- the end is much more audible than on my CD, the submarine part.

[Symphonyofflowers]

You're welcome, but the ending is not from a submarine, it's from a space shuttle.

[diztanguy]

@Symphonyofflowers.well we are now 9 times the speed of sound....real recording from the space shuttle endeavor.

[dethbed77]

@josie421 id like to see a submarine travel 10 times the speed of sound haha

[sukira1978]

hello earth ....hello earth ...with just one hand held up high i can blot you out of sight ,,,,peeka boo peeka boo little earth.............love it .............

[PinkiPanky]

I love this song, thx so much! :)

[shane8808]
