Kate Bush & Tori Amos, Cloudbusting & Bouncing off Clouds #1

There are going to be people who hate me for this, but please believe I did is as a tribute to both Kate Bush and Tori Amos. I've noticed there are a few of Kate's fans who don't like Tori and think she's plagiarising Kate's work etc. I like them both; I think they are both remarkable talents whose minds sometimes work along similar lines. So don't bother slating me. I'll just take the death threats as read, okay?

This is Stage 1. Stage 2 is to try and get the green screen working on WMM (ha ha!) so I can slot Tori's footage in from the video competition a year ago. I wasn't eligible to enter but it seems a pity to waste it.

Then there's Stage 3, which will be a very different beast. My partner is mixing the two songs together for me. So the content of the video will certainly change again.

It'll probably take ages so I'll see you in a year or two and keep my head down and on the lookout for snipers in the meantime. But before you shoot me, I firmly believe this is a lesser crime than whoever it was who quoted first two lines of Cloudbusting as "I still dream of Algernon" *sigh*. I don't feel as if I edited this video anyway. It practically created itself (especially from 2:18) and was just using me to put it together. I didn't mess with the order of the clips too much, and I hope I managed to keep enough with the reduced time to preserve the mood of it.

Of course, if I learned that either Kate Bush or Tori Amos hate it, then I'd take it down straight away. After I've told them how much I love their music, of course...
;-D

And you know what's funny is that this song actually kinda sounds like cloud busting lol

That's sort of what inspired me to put the two together.

^____________^

I can't hear any Kate on this.

The video is Kate, the music is Tori. I'm still waiting for my partner to do the mash-up for me (stage 3) but he's been busy with his webcomic and I don't want to disrupt his creativity too much...

In the meantime I've had zero success getting green-screen (stage 2) to work :p

I love Tori and Kate but this is the first time I ever heard the correlation between them - I find them so different. I think the comparison is complimentary to both for sure. Lovely glad I tripped over this x

[politevampire]

it seems to me that most Bush (and don't get me wrong i am a fan of her) think that any female singer-songwriter on piano is a Kate Bush ripoff

i love both Tori and Kate

great job by the way

I think you did slendid!! you can tell Tori has alot of Kate influence:)

[gmaniha]

Both Kate and Tori are completely amazing artists. Kate paved the way for Tori, Bjork, and PJ Harvey in my opinion. She is the pioneer but those influenced by her are on a higher level than most. I can't imagine Kate doesn't approve of Tori as an artist. I'm grateful that Kate got it all started and love Tori for taking the ball and running with it. They are both true artists!

GREAT tribute to two wonderful, individual, inspirational artists. Thank you taking the trouble and for sharing this. And SO glad all the comments you have had are SO positive about both artists, and yourself.
