What Was The First Kate Bush Song you heard?  |
| |
| The first one I can remember hearing is Cloud Busting when they showed the big fancy video she did for it on the television. My parents also had a video of her with the video's all through her career till "There Goes A Tenner" in the 80's. it was called "The Single File" I loved it and used to try and do the dances. | | | | | |

| | I remember seeing her the first time in german tv in the late 70´s, as i was a young boy that time. My mother used to listen to her, as far as i can think back i think Kite or Wuthering Heights are one of the first ones i heard from her. My girlfriend has that album called The Kick Inside, i think it´s her best one she has a really unique voice, she was a quite extraordionary or to say eccentric person that time in pop music. I wonder what she does now i haven´t listend to her a long time. | | | | | | |

| | She has done an album quite recently called "Aerial" which I enjoyed, she shies away from the commercial side of things nowadays though I think. | | | |

| | Oh yes i just looked it up on the net and could hear a short outake from the song called A Coral Room, she is just singing to a piano, well her voice is beautiful as ever i think it worth getting that album, sad that i could´t listen to more songs i would have liked to. It said that it´s her first release in 12 years, must be a good one. ps. Thanks for your topic i haven´t thought about Kate Bush for years. It just came to my mind that she really was pretty young when she got famous. | | | |

| | Yes she was only 18 when "Wuthering Heights" came out, the story goes her brother worked with Dave Gilmour from Pink Floyd, and when she was teenager she played him Wuthering Heights, and he said she should wait till she was older to release it, she did and that is actually Dave Gilmour playing the guitar solo on "Wuthering Heights". The whole album "Aerial" is worth listening to, "King Of The Mountain" was the single off it | | | |

| | Oh yes didn´t know that story, i knew it was something with Gilmour but not that close, thanks for sharing that, i like David Gilmours guitar playing, really wonderful. So i think i get to listen that album the next time i am at the music store. | | | |

| | David Gilmour is supposed to have discovered her, and the story was The Man With The Child In His Eyes was inspired or written about him. Gilmour also accompied Kate on guitar when she perfomed running That hill for Amnesty (acording to Neptune Pink floyd she later returned to favour at one of his concerts, as guest singer) http://forum.neptunepinkf... | | | |

| | I've been an avid fan of Kates for thirty years (ha! It's the longest relationship I've ever had. LOL) and am trying to test my memory here, so bear with me, or bare with me if you prefer (only joking). 'The man with the child in his eyes' was actually a dedication to her dance instructor I think - it wasn't Sir Robert Helpman, but I'm pretty sure it was someone well known at the time. 'Strange Phenomenon' was a dedication to Gilmour I think. Gilmour actually introduced Kate to EMI Studios if I remember, and I'm pretty sure it was only her first three albums that were from EMI before she started her own company. If you see, or even subscribe to 'Homeground' magazine (if still around), it is well worth having a look through. Lots of information and delightfully tasty little tidbits for all fans. Strange things ballet shoes, they go wishy-washy in a washing machine and look remarkably nothing like aerials . . . um . . . what were we talking about? Damned memory! LOL ;-) | | | |

| | she was very deep and introspective but also played a full part in college life. It is hard to imagine her now as a student, two weeks later she was on top of the pops | | | |

| | It must have been 'Wuthering Heights' when it came out in the late seventies. I remember being overwhelmed by the sheer originality of the style and her amazing voice. I soon became a very devoted fan although I was far too young to see her during her one and only live tour. | | | | | | |

| | Amazing she wrote such an imaginative and deep song based on such a deep book when she was so young too really. | | | |

| | Yes, 'The Man with the Child in his Eyes' was written at either eleven or thirteen years of age. She used to live with her parents, her father was a docter and her Irish mother, in a large house with a big barn where she played her earliest melodies on a piano. Check out the bootleg 'Cathy's Home Demos' for her earliest recordings. Great stuff.. | | | |

| | The first one I heard was Wuthering Heights. It was released in 1978 when I was 2 years old and it was one of the first songs I loved. I have a Kate Bush video from the 80's called The Whole Story, unfortunately "There Goes A Tenner" isn't on it. It has a lot of other cool videos though, all her singles up to 1986. I've never attempted Kate Bush's dance moves though :) | | | | | | |

| | It's been a long time since I attempted them too don't worry, Wuthering Heights seems to have been many peoples first Kate Bush Song here. Being Born in 1981 I missed it's release. | | | |

| | I'm not sure exactly which Kate song i first heard, my dad has always been a fan so no doubt i overheard him playing her music long before i realised who she was. The first songs i can remember hearing of hers were from The Red Shoes album, which my dad had got one x-mas and played in his car stero all the time. I thought i must be grown up (i was maybe 12 at the time?) as one of the song (Song of Solomon) word was bulls*it in it but my dad still let me listen. He also had the Hounds Of Love tape in his 'tape drawer' (nothing more exciting than a drawer full of tapes in our dining room) which i decided to listen to, not knowing it was the same woman as on the other tape, but being drawn to it becuase she looked so beautiful on the cover. The tape was somewhere in the middle and i think i heard Waking the Witch which was a bit scary for a12/13 year old, so i didn't really get hooked straight away, but kept getting drawn back to it. Then, i remember on a UK TV music quizz show called Never Mind the Buzzc*ks they had this round where they had to guess the lyrics parts of songs, and the song in question was Wuthering Heights. So i heard part of that song and liked it, asked my mum who is was by and of course she told me - Kate Bush. I then dug out some more old tapes from my dads' drawer, this times one'd he recorded from record onto tapes, and the tapes being quite old had deteriorated so the sound quality wasn't that good, but i still listened to them and got hooked. The albums were The Kick Inside and Never forever. I decided i really liked her by this time so got The Kick Inside on cd, and a while later, The Sensual World. By this time i was about 16, and had become quite a fan! So much so that i asked, and got, her This Womans' Work boxed set for passing my GCSE's (English qualifications). From then on there was no turning back really! I now have all her albums, lots of biographies on her, and quite a few videos, including the Single File that you mention, which btw i absolutely love! So there you go, i think you have have got a bit more info than you bargained for but oh well! | | | | | | |

| | I was watching that classic VH1 channel, and Running Up That Hill came on, and I was in awe. I loved the dancing in the video and the sort of creepy vibe to it. I just love Kate Bush's uniqueness, there's no singer like her! | | | | | | |

| | The first song I heard her sing I remember was Wuthering Heights when she appeared on Top of the pops. We thought she was abit mad, the way she sung and danced. I hadn't seen or heard another woman like this before. I must admit as I heard the song more I ended up really liking it. She stayed at NO.1 for ages if I remember rightly. I like most of her work and have a few favourite, one being Womans Work this is so moving. I bought her last album which I enjoyed, she is unique in her style. | | | | | | |

| | probably Army Dreamers, heard it on on either radio 2, or a local radio station, listening in bed when I should have been a sleep, when I was about 10/11, I didn't really pay that much attention to music at the time but something about it just grabbed me & stuck in my memory especially the the lines about Daddys little soldier, didn't make it to his 20's. Think I thought it was a new song, only heard it a couple of times, then it just disappeared with the start of the gulf war, but I never quite forgot it. Felt like a long time before I rediscovered it, and found out it was Kate Bush. Then later Wuthering Heights and The Man With The Child In His Eyes on Virgin Radio in 1994. | | | | | | |
