do you need to discover kate bush still? could be important

Poor ol' Lena...

Indeed!

[ariston]

I sometimes think that she doesn't get enough credit for her lyrics...
"Bang goes another kanga on the bonnet of the van" - who writes such evocative lyrics today?
And what other mainstream artiste tackles issues such as the plight of the aborigines in Oz?

Yeah, her lyrics are just as amazing as her music. Sometimes strikingly direct, sometimes playful, never preachy or obvious. I'm still chewing on "Get out of my house" - an amazing song about trust, privacy, about learning to respect and protect your personal boundaries. Or "This Woman's Work", which is soooooo sad and heartbreaking. Ach, there are too many to count.

Actually, that reminds me- in one of the documentaries I saw, they were commenting on This Woman’s Work. Someone was talking about how it was a beautiful tribute to women and feminine power and the beauty of childbirth, or something like that. They totally missed the whole point that the story was told from a man’s point of view! Critics can be so clueless...

Hah, yeah... like a lot of people think that Every Breath you Take is a love song... people... just... don't... LISTEN!

[Glyn Darby]

Hi all, I have been a fan since 1977 and have loved every piece of music she has produced but this is my fav. Cheers Glyn.

No such thing as 'guilty' pleasure unless you give a shit what others think. If you don't, then it's just pleasure - nothing to feel guilty about

And “Born in the USA” was about the pride of being an American.

And Rebecca Black's 'Friday' wasn't about the Kennedy assassination

When I heard her sing the words "Let's exchange the experience" in "Running Up That Hill", she owned my teenage soul.

One of the best songs,best albums lyrically. All the word play is amazing

[EdSevered]

When I first heard it, I just had to know who sang with Peter Gabriel on "Don't Give Up". Followed by "The Whole Story".

I mean "WOW!" I also fell for her in a big, bad way. Ahhhhh...the memories. Now, I need a cold shower.
