And you huh?
You do huh?

We let it in
We give it out
And in the end
What's it all about?
It must be love

I give you my
I give you my
You give me your
You give me your joy

We used to say
"Ah Hell, we're young"
But now we see that life is sad
And so is love

Ooh baby live your life for love
Ooh baby live your life for love

We used to say
"Ah Hell, we're young"
But now we see that life is sad
And so is love

Ooh baby for the sake of love
Ooh baby for the sake of love

And whatever happens
What really matters?
It's all we've got
Isn't that enough?

Life is sad and so is love

You let it slip
You let it slip
I love you more
I love you more for it

Life is sad and so is love

All for love
Just for the sake of love
You set me free
I set you free

"Sounds just like Kate Bush...".

for all the times i've read that comment being made on here for every female singer who ever lived. But it's the only time i've ever thought it to be true. Hence the sarky comment, Ok?

Judging by the scattered thumbs downs and those 0 ratings  -  we must have some woman haters here.  (or is it just Kate?)

So you prefer a humdrum, not particularly accomplished blues guitar journeyman to one of the most distinctive artists in music?  Ok, fill yer boots.

I prefer this version but this is one of the tracks she updated on Director's Cut

Even if this scenario were to be a reality...don't you think Kate should handle that biological responsibility. After all...it's woman's work.

Kate reminds me of Joni M and Tori A. in the sense that they all have a distinct sound, they experiment and push it, and they never cheat or cut corners on a song. They all sound like they were crafted.

 
I remember when Tori Amos first broke through she was labeled as a Kate Bush wannabe.  She had the talent to push through that and prove that she had her own sound.  Her Little Earthquakes album was released over 25 years ago and no "wannabe" lasts that long.

I'm looking forward to her new album due out in May, titled Directors Cut. Seems she is revisiting songs from two prior albums; The Sensual World, and The Red Shoes. Phenominal news!

Now I get all the Kate/Tori comparisons. I thought this was a Tori Amos song (albeit a sort of unusual one) until I checked the playlist and saw it was Kate Bush.

Especially your drivel, Tori.
 
I know, I should leave the whole Kate/Tori thing alone, but I can't help it. You are so right, gutboy; Kate is the talented original, Tori is the wannabe. I'm sure she's a very nice person and all, but she's no Kate.

Actually, Kate wrote the song and sent it to Prince to add guitar and vocals.  Prince ended up changing a lot more of the song than expected. Kate and her engineer weren't very happy with his changes but released it anyway.  I like Prince (up to Lovesexy), but I do feel that this collaboration wasn't a success.

The only song I've heard of hers that I don't mind, probably due more to Clapton's guitar than Kate.

She's actually got a new album in the soup that's due out this year (originally, she said spring/summer of 2005, but now it looks like it will be later in the year). This is actually not one of my favourite Kate Bush albums (although I love the title track). I'm hoping for a harkening back to her early work with the upcoming album (although I'm not holding my breath...I believe she was working with the late Michael Kamen, prior to his passing, so I'm afraid it will be a bit too much like a movie soundtrack)...

Posted 19 years ago by wherestheexit    [ Reply ]
Just don't ever watch one of her videos. Or even worse, watch 2 in a row. She suffers from the same problem as Celine Dion. She has a great voice as long as you don't have to see her sing -- or in Kate's case: Sing and Dance. But, I have to say that her voice and her quirky songs are excellent. They've been a favorite of mine since the 80's.

Love this song...and many of her others. Seems to me that she is very underrated in general. One of the coolest voices around.... :D

Kate has a new album coming out this year, 2005. Probably in the fall. And why wouldn't she like the music business? It's made her wealthy, she has carte blanche from EMI/Capitol to make whatever album she wants and they just distribute it for her. She has a home studio, which allows her to take 12 years between albums, and a large fanbase who'll forgive her that lapse, including me! Can't wait for the new music!

I was remembering that album (that I actually owned) as not being the best Kayte Bush ever. I was keeping on going back to The Wuthering Heights whenever I wanted to grab something from her. Thanks for making me (re)discover this incredible song... :) :)
