Kate Bush - Cloudbusting

A great song from the "Hounds Of Love" album. The song is based on the book "A Book Of Dreams" by Peter Reich about his father Wilhelm Reich. The video features Donald Sutherland as Wilhelm Reich and Kate as his son Peter.

Lyrics:

I still dream of Organon
I wake up crying
You're making rain
And you're just in reach
When you and sleep escape me

You're like my yo-yo
That glowed in the dark
What made it special
Made it dangerous
So I bury it, and forget

But everytime it rains
You're here in my head
Like the sun coming out
Ooh, I just know that something good is going to happen
I don't know when
But just saying it could even make it happen

On top of the world
Looking over the edge
You could see them coming
You looked too small
In their big, black car
To be a threat to the men in power

I hid my yo-yo in the garden
I can't hide you from the government
Oh God, daddy -- I won't forget

'Cause everytime it rains
You're here in my head
Like the sun coming out
Ooh, I just know that something good is gonna happen
I don't know when
But just saying it could even make it happen

It's you and me daddy
It's you and me daddy
It's you and me daddy

But everytime it rains
You're here in my head
Like the sun coming out
Like your son's coming out
Ooh, I just know that something good is gonna happen
I don't know when
But just saying it could even make it happen
Ooh, just saying it could even make it happen

We're Cloudbusting daddy

Your son's coming out
Your son's coming out

I love this video for years>great story with great actors-kate & donald;no one else could play this so "authentic"!Thank you for posting!

[Symphonyofflowers]

You're welcome!

Its about Wilhelm Reich...and his orgone discoveries...oh and how the US authorities destroyed the man and his work...even though they said his work was nonsense...you work it out?

"Your 'suns' coming out...Your 'sons' coming out." Kate's genius lyrics.

apparently...Reich used to dress his own son up as a girl to fool the authorities.

That aside...this is a fantastic tune...the string arrangement is stunning...great work Kate.

great song. great era.. This kind of music along with Cocteau Twins, put a short but important end to just making some stupid rock song.

[montbrehain]

@Symphonyofflowers , thanks for that , allways thought it was in that sort of area. Its a sort of old hill fort by the look of it ? looks like a good view too.... wonder if anyone knows for sure where it was/is ?
