Kate Bush is an incredible artist who was fortunate enough to receive and early start at a musical career and to have survived long enough to produce a unique musical catalog. When first listening to the female singer, I found myself being tortured, for lack of a better adjective, by her eerie and childish vocals. However, being one to willingly abuse her ears, I gave her many more tries, and it was in fact her song "Cloudbusting" that won me over. One of the things that I enjoy most about the artist is that she is not solely singing about love, sex or rock (which is unfortunately a trap that far too much music fall into). Instead, she sings about a varying array of subjects: everything from Emily Brontë's "Wuthering Heights" to her dear old "Babushka."
Today, it is "Hounds of Love" that has characterized my week, which you can listen to at last.fm, a useful online tool to track your daily, weekly, monthly and even yearly listenings. This is my favorite part
Take my shoes offI think this is a great visual, and it also makes me wonder if this is perhaps how Jesus himself walked on the water a couple millenia ago. Something to ponder I suppose.
And throw them in the lake,
And I'll be
Two steps on the water
