Kate Bush How to Be Invisible

From her 2005 album Aerial

Lyrics:

I found a book on how to be invisible
Take a pinch of keyhole
And fold yourself up
You cut along a dotted line
You think inside out
And you're invisible

Eye of Braille
Hem of anorak
Stem of wallflower
Hair of doormat

I found a book on how to be invisible
On the edge of the labyrinth
Under a veil you must never lift
Pages that you must never turn
In the labyrinth
You stand in front of a million doors
And each one holds a million more
Corridors that lead to the world
Of the invisible
Corridors that twist and turn
Corridors that blister and burn

Eye of Braille
Hem of anorak
Stem of wallflower
Hair of doormat
Is that the wind from the desert song?
Is that the autumn leaf falling?
Or is that you walking home?

Is that the wind from the desert song?
Is that the autumn leaf falling?
Or is that you walking home?
Is that a storm in the swimming pool?

You take a pinch of keyhole
And fold yourself up
You cut along a dotted line
You think inside out
You jump 'round three times
You jump into the mirror
And you're invisible

such a masterpiece!!!!

I listened to this album back when I was 13 and I really liked it, and the cover art of the c.d. with the birds was beautiful. I'm 17 now, I wish I was 13 again and I still had this album.

How to be invisible is one of Kate Bush's best songs because it is both swaggering (it's like the song of a clever gunslinger) and mysterious at the same time. Kate shoots her bullets with magic words and sounds and she can disappear for years and still be on the radar of anyone with taste in music or people.

This is one of her best songs. Love, love, love....

Does anybody think that the ablum cover looks like a Mandelbrot set?

[steeplepossum39]

Hello !

Yeah, you're totally right. In my opinion, " The Dreaming " and " Hounds of Love" are 2 masterpieces. In fact, her 5 first albums are wonderful. I love them so much. My favorite one is maybe " Never for Ever". Why ? Maybe because it is a mix of the beautiful emotion of the 2 first albums with the stunning musical creativity of the 2 next. She tried to make that again with "The Sensual World" but it failed : not a bad album, but disapointing.

@bluuueyes I will happily send you a copy. No-one should be without a copy of 'Aerial' in their house. It should be freely available, like air and water.
