Kate Bush & Peter Gabriel - Another Day

Kate performs "Another Day" with Peter Gabriel on the 1979 Christmas special. The song is written by Roy Harper and is featured on his album "Flat Baroque And Berserk".

Lyrics:

Peter: The kettle's on, the sun has gone another day. She offers me Tibetan tea on a flower tray. She's at the door, she wants to score, She dearly needs to say,

Kate: I loved you a long time ago, you know, where the wind's own forget-me-nots blow but I just couldn't let myself go not knowing what on earth there was to know. But I wish that I had, 'cos I'm feeling so sad that I never had one of your children.

Peter: And across the room inside a tomb a chance is waxed and wanes. The night is young, why are we so hung up in each others chains. I must take her, I must make her while the dove domains and feel the juice run as she flies run my winds under her sighs as the flames of eternity rise to lick us with the first-born lash of dawn.

Kate: Oh really my dear I can't see what we fear sat here with ourselves in-between us.

Peter: And at the door we can't say more than just another day

Kate: And without a sound I turn around and I walk away.

I love this version as much as the original Harper version. Ifirst heard this version on ITV,Xmas 1979 .I had just split up with my girlfriend so I felt its impact,lovely to hear it again.Thank you

[Symphonyofflowers]

You're welcome.

[foxynickers]

interesting to hear this... is it the original?

Sorry, but i still LOVE Liz singing this much more..

If it was'nt for Kate here, i think it would have been a complete disaster!

But then, how do you match such strong vocal talents as Elizabeth Fraser and Kate bush!.. maybe they should of done it as a duo :)

[Symphonyofflowers]

No, the original is by Roy Harper. He wrote it and released it in 1970 on his album "Flat Baroque And Berserk".

First time I've ever heard this song and the tears are streaming down my face. So sad and beautiful. Kate Bush is a divine goddess in human form. Love it...

[Pedro7martins7]

A perfect combination. Probably the most beautiful song I've ever heard.

Such a beautiful piece of art in the form of song. Delicate and touching performance. So very lovely... thanks for sharing.

Two of the best songwriters the world has ever seen.

@gregoriodavila She was actually 21 when she recorded this show.

[fgunerius]

Beautiful little song. Is Peter's look at 1:45 and on possibly him at his sexiest?
