Ok, that last post was a bit heavy. Still not going to write and analyse about Kate Bush, but here are two videos of lighter material. One ('Them heavy people') nevertheless hides complexity in its silliness, but 'Violin' is just a romp.
One day, I may post about the album 'Aerial'. I will need to take a run up at that. It is a masterpiece, and as with other masterpieces such as the 'Mona Lisa' or 'David' or 'The fairy feller's master-stroke', all you can really do is to stare at it. Metaphorically. Because in our case we are listening, with eyes shut and once or twice weeping buckets. Go listen to it right now. That's an order.
Oops, this was supposed to be lighthearted. Here come the videos.
'Them Heavy People':
'Violin':
For more fun, go and watch 'There goes a tenner', or 'The Dreaming'. Lord, she comes across in interviews as ordinary and everyday, but there's a whole different world inside her head. And I fondly believe that I'd still be interested in her material, even if she wasn't stunningly attractive, in all her decades. Hey, I'm a fan of Neil Young. No-one can say that he ever turned heads. Stop slouching, that man ... and get a haircut!
