her while she is still at school.

Review about Kate Bush what if we were able to see what our lover sees? | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Running up that hill performed by Kate Bush
I heard this song before by Kate Bush but never paid attention to it, but once I heard the Placebo cover I fell in love with the lyrics and then went back and LISTENED to the Kate Bush version and I got to say I love her version a little bit more because it has a sense of sadness and optomisim about it, unlike the placebo version which is filled with pessimism,doom, and inevitable failure. Both songs are amazing in my opinon because of the central theme of two lovers switching places to see what the other sees!

------ About the song Lily performed by Kate Bush
always being a Kate Bush fan and after downloading some of her songs,Lily,stood out for me,at the time being very down,Lily,for some reason gave me a calming effect and gave me a lift emotionally,it is sung with her soul,and even though iv only just discovered this song after its release so many years ago,thankyou,Kate
I love this song. It's so insperational and powerful and raw... I'm agnostic so this doesn't neccesarily have a conection to God for me. But this song saddens me every time I hear it, to me it signifies the struggles we all face during our lives, be it with a lover, family or just life itself. I, personally love the Placebo version, it's much more deep and meaningful.
Love this song | Reviewer: Tracy

Perfect! | Reviewer: Ben
------ About the song Wuthering Heights performed by Kate Bush
Kate Bush managed to express the passion of the book and the love Heathcliff and Cathy had for each other wonderfully well in this song. The book is one of the finest works in the English language and has to be read to fully appreciate this song. Excellent.
Wow | Reviewer: Ella McCauley
------ About the song Wuthering Heights performed by Kate Bush
I randomly found this song on youtube and decided to listen to it. I couldn't really understand it because I am not used to Kate Bush's voice so I looked up these lyrics as well as a plot summery of the book. After I finished reading the plot and replayed this song I started crying. I couldn't even sing along to the song I was crying so much. I think that really says something about this song if I can cry after hearing it only 4 times and never actually reading the book.
Should have been the second single | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Moving performed by Kate Bush
Much as I love "The Man With The Child In His Eyes," I think that "Moving" should have been the second single off The Kick Inside. What a melody, what a VOICE. This is definitely one of KaTe's best and most underrated songs. I know that she wrote it for her dance teacher, Lindsay Kemp, but to me it has always seemed to be about unrequited love. Whatever it's about, "Moving" is so beautiful, and I love the whale song at the beginning and end. I want to learn how to play this one on the piano.
.I listened the song after i read the book, so in the moment i've heard it, i felt in love with it, it's so great, the song transmited so much feeling of this unique story that i almost cry.
-If you like the song, you will love the book! :D
One of my favorite songs of all times | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Wuthering Heights performed by Kate Bush
When I first heard this song I had no clue what it was about but I fell in love with the melody and Kate's unique voice. Watching the movie and reading the book made me like this song even more. What an accomplishment for her as an artist, not only to write this beautiful song but also to perform it like only she can.... Love it!
Haunting | Reviewer: reviewer
------ About the song Mrs Bartolozzi performed by Kate Bush
This is one of my favorite songs from Kate's latest CD. It's not a "pretty" song, but it isn't meant to be. There's something so incredibly sad about it. The piano and voice arrangement is stunning and reminds me of rain. The lyrics are about doing laundry, yes, and if you look below the surface, they say so much more than that.
An Amazing song | Reviewer: T
------ About the song Wuthering Heights performed by Kate Bush
I first heard this song in AP English class my senior year. Our teacher played it for us because we had to read the book over the summer. Everyone joked about it and pretended it was terrible but through the entire school year you would randomly hear people singing it! You really cant help but love this song whether you've read the book or not. the song is truly great. =)

we love wuthering heights | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Wuthering Heights performed by Kate Bush
Wuthering Heights is a wonderful spooky song that i fell in love with the moment i heard it. Kate Bush's voice is fantastically unique.
At first i thought the song was very scary. but then i learnt to love it. very much
In my opinion it is pure poetry so you have the "intended" meaning or what it means to the author and what it say to the individual reader. Life and relationships are an intricate dance and sometimes we lose those we love and/or ourselves and we find ourselves searching. Running up the hill infers that we have to struggle or over come resistance to carve out that space where we can love. Check out the video on youtube. In addition to being an amazing song writer she is a wonderful performer and it will give further meaning. Most of all enjoy the work (the music, the dance, the story, the beauty) because it is an angelic gift...

------ About the song Wuthering Heights performed by Kate Bush
I've liked this song a lot for a long time now, but just recently I heard a version of the same song sung by PatBenatar... for those who find Kate Bush's vocals a little too high pitched, this is a good version to listen to instead. I know there's a copy of it on Benatar's Imeem page.

Understanding | Reviewer: Torn
------ About the song Running up that hill performed by Kate Bush
Last year, my first love got in contact with me on MySpace, and even though I am married, we still have very strong feelings for each other. I knew she got in touch with me because she felt bad about how things had ended between us and wanted us to be together again. And so did I, but I am in this committed relationship. And over the last year, even though we've kept things on a friendship level, I have fallen in love all over again with who she has become today. So I asked her if we could meet, because I had to know if this was reality or just a fantasy.
And last weekend, we saw each other for the first time in 10 years, and though we didn't have sex (we don't believe in affairs), it was very intense seeing her again. It confirmed to me that this was no fantasy. I told her about my feelings, and that she is my soulmate, and that I think I need to divorce my wife and build a relationship with her again, but I knew she couldn't say anything about it because what would that make her? A homewrecker?
Before I left, she copied a few songs onto my ipod to listen to on the drive home (she lives 2 hours away) and this song was the last one she put on there...
I'm still trying to figure out what she meant by it, because sometimes we just hear what we want to hear and see what we want to see.
Kate's intended meaning behind this song often misinterpreted | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Running up that hill performed by Kate Bush
The song itself has often been misinterpreted. Kate Bush herself has said,
"I was trying to say that, really, a man and a woman, can't understand each other because we are a man and a woman. And if we could actually swap each other's roles, if we could actually be in each others place for a while, I think we'd both be very surprised! [Laughs] And I think it would be lead to a greater understanding. And really the only way I could think it could be done was either... you know, I thought a deal with the devil, you know. And I thought, 'well, no, why not a deal with God!' You know, because in a way it's so much more powerful the whole idea of asking God to make a deal with you. You see, for me it is still called "Deal With God", that was its title. But we were told that if we kept this title that it wouldn't be played in any of the religious countries, Italy wouldn't play it, France wouldn't play it, and Australia wouldn't play it! Ireland wouldn't play it, and that generally we might get it blacked purely because it had 'God' in the title.
miscarriage | Reviewer: Jo
------ About the song This Woman's Work performed by Kate Bush
I also listen to this song and it reminds me of a miscarriage I suffered, It's such a beautiful song and the words couldn't be more fitting. It's actually written about a woman having a baby and is from the film 'she's having a baby'.
covenant and sacrafice | Reviewer: illya
------ About the song Running up that hill performed by Kate Bush
once again the lyrical author can't help but sing of the spiritual plane (some call this "magical").
Don't think this is a religous song? The three characters of the lyrics are, the first person (Kate), God and Angel.
"A deal with God" to me that's called a covenant.
"get him to swap our places" i think refers to the long established method of gaining salvation through the means of substituting a sacrafice, be it plant, animal or human.
"And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems..."
- the road to the City of God, New Jerusalem, once there there will be no more problems for the one who makes it home.
