Kate Bush - Why Should I Love You (demo)
Loading...
Uploaded by whyshouldIloveyou on Oct 16, 2007
This is the original raw version of Kate Bush's "Why Should I Love You" that she sent to (Famous R&B star from Minnesota). He added drum machines and rather dramatically changed the tone of the song. Kate got the tape back, and the album version is a mixture of both.
This version had been sitting at the bottom of a box of cassette tapes for 17 years before the engineer on the session decided to share it with us.

I always get the feeling Prince went above his station in his changes. Maybe Kate is happy with what the final product became but there's this impression that Prince just went OTT and didn't really respect it as HER song.

Why should I NOT love this?

3 users need to be sent to Prince for remixing ... :-)

@djbethell you're right

Is there anywhere I can buy or download this version? I love it.

I think what she had in mind was a few gospel touches like Purple Rain or maybe like Diamonds and Pearls.
Apparently Kate sent Prince instructions about what she wanted and he didn't do what she asked, which is why she had to get Lenny Henry in to patch up the vocal.
Prince doesn't just do funk, he does a wide range of styles.
Also, in the account I read, Prince approached Kate about collaboration, not the other way round.

the organ sound in this is pure prince, and the percussion in the verse.... Its hard to believe he had no influence on this version although i'm well aware that the tale is well documented now. Maybe she wrote with him in mind? Just saying is all.

I always assumed from listening to the lyrics that they were possibly about Del. But this demo's lyrics tell me of a different story. She sings "you should not speak of it, you should not think it even, because it is forbidden". Forbidden. This isn't about a new found love for the Jesus she sings of with his "beautiful smile", this is about a new love that has taken her completely by surprise, all-consuming and relentless. This can only be about one person... I hope he loves you as much Kate.X
