- Official music video for the single "Wuthering Heights" -- Version 1 by Kate Bush.
Wuthering Heights was released as Kate's debut single in January 1978. It became a No.1 hit in the UK singles chart and remains Kate's biggest-selling single.
Two music videos were created to accompany the single. In Version 1, Kate can be seen performing the song in a dark room filled with white mist while wearing a white dress -- this was the UK release. In Version 2 Kate dances in an outdoor environment while wearing a red dress -- this video was produced for the American release.
The song appears on Kate's 1978 debut album, The Kick Inside, and was also re-recorded in 1986 for the greatest-hits album The Whole Story.
"Wuthering Heights" came 32nd in Q magazine's Top 100 Singles of All Time, voted by readers. - Hudba
Only Kate Bush could make a song about a girl coming back from the grave to steal her former love's soul and have it sound like the sweetest thing ever.
Because even in the book it's a bitter-sweet situation: cathy and heatcliff's love story is eternal, death doesn't really exist for them. This song is amazing!
@@fannybmo One of the best written pieces in music history, like Tears for Fears songs, it never gets old
@@fannybmo yup he waits for her, and he's happy to see her again, even if it's like that lol
Avenged Sevenfold - Little piece of heaven.
The obsession continues-so powerful it does not recognize death. Heathcliff and Cathy are inherently selfish and cruel to others because of their obsession with each other. They are monstrous towards each other because of the obsession. This song is brilliant because she focusses on Cathy's ghost banging on Heathcliff's window, the very much alive Heathcliff. She expects him to willingly pass from life to death for her. And she is right. Obsession, the song is so haunting because I think part of us wants to experience that kind of intensity in a relationship. So intense it defies death.
I was privileged to be on the recording and editing team to produce this. Kate was a wonderful young woman to work with. Enjoyed working with her for a number of other edits as well. What great memories, and her music is unique and very special!
No fuckin way! Your generation was the last generation where normal people had access to do extraordinary things. You could say hi to John Lennon on his way in the door, go to Clive Davis and hand him your demo tape. My mom actually went out to California and did the hippie thing. I'm 43 and she STILL will occasionally catch me totally off-guard- "oh yeah, that must have been in '66, yeah, cuz that was before I spent that summer on Charlie Manson's ranch" ...👀... "What??? Oh, you knew about that!" I be like whatever mom. Y'all generation was a trip!
Seriously? That’s incredible. Her music is its own experience
@@bailyslife9923 When I was 18 I worked in this little shop and one of the women I worked with was like that. She had moved out to Cali in the 60’s. She always had the coolest craziest stories. I’m 36 and I still think about her all the time. I feel like our whole generation envied their generation so much. Lol
That's so cool. This is one of my favorite songs of all time!

So very true.
YESSSS
Does anybody agree with me that Kate belonged in our generation, it’s strange I watch her music videos and she just seems everlasting and feel like she would just fit in today like no other artist would from decades ago
She is timeless.
Recently turned 28 and have loved Kate since my mom shared her music with me when I was like 6. Her vibes/music/presence transcends time. She's an all time great.
Sorry, I disagree. I'm not trying to troll when I say that Kate Bush is an absolute rarity that was from a time when musical artists were more concerned with musical content and the integrity of their material; not their music videos.
Granted, Kate is a timeless beauty who's music has that everlasting, magical quality, She is nothing like the musical artists of today's generation. She's authentic, eccentric, and in a league of her own.
And this is coming from a guitarist that grew up listening to punk / metal / rock n roll / blues.
@@vjenkins6815 I agree with you 100%. I can't picture her as someone from this generation at all
私もそう思います。
Her facial expressions are everything!
Her voice . . Its just so haunting. I remember this song, and Babushka from the time they came out in the 70s. I was about 15yrs old then. I had such a crush on her voice...
So . . Haunting!!
To me, the most beautiful thing about this is that there is not a single drop of cynicism or apparent shame about it.
YES, she wrote a song about a classic gothic novel. YES, it is from the perspective of a dead character.
YES, she is singing in this ghostly dramatic soprano. AND YES, she made a whole interpretative choreography.
DEAL WITH IT.
Edit: If you have a problem with this comment, please, read it again. I find her creativity and sincerity beautiful, why are some of you responding as if I had criticized Kate?
Yeah....less cynicism in those days🙂....
Okay I guess I’ll just deal with it then.
I loved this!

Remember this. Kate was only 16 years old when she first wrote and performed this epic song for the first time! No Wonder everyone in the music industry flipped out! What a star!
@Bola Oladapo Wong I can tell you it was a big hit in Canada, I was high School then But it was AM radio after starting on FM
@Bola Oladapo it literally went number 1 in several countries
Thanks to Dave Gilmour
@Bola Oladapo enough people got it to make her the first woman to ever write a number 1 song in the UK.
Kate was and still is unapologetic for her style, her music and all of who she is. She has inspired so many great musicians. Just watch Tori Amos and tell me she was not heavily influenced by Kate Bush. Kate is a true artist - an true original. To have made it in the music business being this different is nearly impossible. I love her. Such a brave, brave women. Having sad that, I like listening to the Pat Benatar version of this song better. Benatar hits notes on this song that are near impossible.
1995, I was in Italy and this song was for a few sec. in a commercial, I think it was an ice cream. I bought the cassette and then lost it.
I’d been looking for this song for 26 years. I lost the tape and didn’t know the name(At that time I didn’t speak English, I traveled other countries and in the Early 2000’s I was trying to search on the web for cd’s with music from Italian or European commercials..but NO Luck) Last weekend i was listening to an 80’s Radio station and I recognize the song and immediately I used the Shazam app. and found this incredible song again.It’s a Masterpiece.

So original. So unique. So hypnotic. Nothing compares to what she did. I imagine this is the closest thing to a siren song any human song can get.

Gênios são aqueles que criam inovação...Kate inovou na música mas para ter liberdade viu a necessidade de produzir e ter seu próprio estúdio...estava na vanguarda...Eu era menino quando ouvi está voz diferente...hoje um Senhor Brasileiro de 52 anos. Vida longa Kate.❤❤
Simavoz dela é maravilhosa
Cantora extremamente completa e incrível! tenho 51 em breve 52, lembrando aqui de minha infância, viajava ouvindo esta canção. Me inspirava até para desenhar.
A voz dessa cantora suave dá uma certa paz
for anyone confused on what this song is about (understandably, too): it’s based off the book ‘wuthering heights’ and tells the (odd) love story between two of the book’s main characters, Catherine and Heathcliff. it is told in the point of view of Catherine, who [*SPOILER*] had died and spent the rest of Heathcliff’s natural life haunting him.
the lyrics “Heathcliff, it’s me, your Cathy, I’ve come home, I’m so cold” come from a scene in the book where another one of the characters (Lockwood) has a dream in which Cathy’s ghostly figure has returned back to the home from her grave and is begging to be let back in by Heathcliff.
funnily enough, Heathcliff and Catherine were never an ‘item’; they were just two people who loved each other but were never officially together, even though they wanted to be.
can I interest you in a Wuthering Heights sung from Heathcliff's perspective? czcams.com/video/3CJsvboXEo8/video.html
They were also incredibly arrogant, selfish, immature, hateful characters whose only redeeming quality was that they loved each other deeply. But Kate Bush sings like an angel and makes me much more inclined to not hate the pair of them!
Thanks, captain!
Now I have to read it !
Was the relationship of Cathy and Heathcliff like Jo and Laurie from Little Women?
my brain still wants to explode at the fact that she was 19!! and she produced one of the most unique, best songs of all time!
Written composed by Kate Bush
Produced by Andrew Powell
Yep. Extraordinary talent.
In some ways she was sp far ahead of her time, I'm not sure people realused at the time what a talent she is.
Un nouveau soleil
Heard she was even younger when she actually wrote it, but i might be wrong.
Have you seen the live tour she dis when she was 20? She wrote all the songs, the music, designed the costumes, the choreography - everything. And then she never did another tour. Its astonishing, 20 years old - search CZcams for "Kate Bush - The tour of Life HD LPR Remastering (Live at Hammersmith Odeon 79)"
You cant post links any longer. sorry.
Kate Bush entranced me as a kid, still does, watching this video on TV is the earliest memory I have as a child
Those eyes
am I the only person but I find the song to be very emotional and I love her long beautiful hair and the wicked faces she pulls , I also think it's a masterpiece that nobody else could get anywhere near as good.
You immediately feel that this woman is an overwhelmingly creative mind. Maybe a little bit crazy, but in a very good way.
I think a genius.

The song is so much eerier when you realise its context. The song is about Cathy's ghost returning to Heathcliff to take him away with her because she's so lonely "on the other side" (afterlife/purgatory/whatever). At the end of the novel when Heathcliff throws open the window and lays in bed and dies with a smile on his face, we're supposed to believe that Cathy's ghost has come through and he's let his soul go with her. Creepy.
It's amazing how much lyrical depth this song has, especially considering Kate wrote it at the age of 18.
oh well thanks for spoiling the book
ian hubbard Oh, right.
Spoilers alert, guise.
This song lyrically mirrors the book.

After all these years, Wuthering Heights still does strange things to my heart. What an amazing song, voice and artist!
Call it magic...
Truly indeed... :-)
Shes just absolute genius, no other woman can touch her!

Joanna Egleton not necessarily
My mum knows this entire dance. She does it to literally every song and when people ask her what she's doing she tells people to educate themselves on Kate Bush

That's awesome.
Your mum's fab! You can't sing along to this song without doing the dance! :)
Even after so many decades she is still the queen !!!
Amazing song , Amazing woman , many people did not get it , but if you know the film of Wuthering Heights , you know this is a masterpiece
I did see the later movie version with Ralph Fiennes. Book-to-screenplay transition seemed faithful. Need to see if I can find the original BBC version when Kate saw it in the late '60's.
She's really good at portraying a ghost with her ghostly look, movements, and voice.
That's because she IS Catherine, she is IT.
Bush wrote the song aged 18, within a few hours late at night, on 5 March 1977.
She wrote, "man with the child in his eyes" at 14. That is staggering as it is about a woman in love with a young boy that seems the be a reincarnation of a man. Yet, she was a child when she wrote it.
Yeah but she had a book to base it on
Thanks! I did not know that. HAha

OMG You should have heard me scream when I saw your name! I LOVE your channel Oddie! And love Kate Bush too!
I studied Wuthering Heights for my degree. About 15 of us sat in a seminar, and every one of us said there was just something unsettling about it, yet none of us could put out finger on it. Our lecturer suggested that this was precisely why it is a work of genius...it's like nothing else.
A century and a bit later, Kate Bush did this. She took a novel that defies categorisation, and made a song that encapsulates exactly the same 'otherness'. Genius.
This. This exactly what i feel whenever i hear it. Nothing's alike this. A perfect vocal and visual manifestation of a novel of mysteries, both in story as in its author.
Great way to describe it. I'm not very familiar with Kate Bush, but whenever I hear this song I know it's made by a genius, because it's a song that has been made by a completely different recipe. Feels extremely otherworldly.

As a kid as I was sitting in the car listening to this and my dad came back. He got in the car and I told him not to start the car. He looked at me like 'my car' but he realised I was enjoying the music. We sat there for a couple of minutes, didn't speak a word and then when it finished, he started up and went on his way. I thought I was in for a telling off but the old man was quiet and smiling. God bless dad. Miss you.

+Mac Gyver I found somewhere that she was only 17 when she wrote the song. Amazing song and performance.
I agree: she's beautiful, and her voice too
+All The Usernames were taken so yeah I have just spent the last 10 minutes looking for this Kate Bush song because I had absolutely no idea what it was called. I remember me and my brother used to sing this when it first came out when we were little kids but we used to sing only the first few words as "I am a sardine, indigo".....??? I have no idea why or what it means but it sounds nothing like that. We used to think Kate bush was this scarey looking woman what screamed nonsense and danced weird. I have never really listened to Kate Bush in later years even though I have always loved all types of music. Lookin back on this now after all these years it was such a beautiful record and looking at the date she was well a head of her time. I must start listening to Kate Bush more now seeing as though I haven't noticed how good she is all the time I was growing up!
I just want to give her a blanket even though I'm not Heathcliff so she will stay warm.
I get mesmerised by the sheer beauty of this song everytime.
Just beautiful songwriting.

"I hated you. I loved you too." hahaha
Plus Kate looks like a beautiful spirit. She actually looks like Cathy's ghost.
Katie Ratte i do think that was the idea, indeed!
That all describes Cathy pretty perfectly!
And also "let me have it / let me grab your soul away" sums up the nature of Cathy's love (possessive, controlling, works like ownership).
Frankly speaking yes... 😂😂😂
Cathy, Katherine , Kate ~ all the same name and Kate shares a birthday with Emily Bronte the author of the novel. No wonder she insisted that this song should be the single rather than the one the record company wanted...….

I listened to this song because of Wuthering Heights. :D
You need to buy another copy and throw em both away!
I'm a grown up and it made me cry.
It's an amazing piece of classic literature but it's not a love story.
When I read it, my first thought was "So, seriously dysfunctional relationships isn't just a 21st century thing, then"
This is absolutely the weirdest song I’ve ever heard but also the best. A whole song that’s an extended literary allusion?? We need more of this.
Maybe you should listen to Björk or Julia Holter...
Or joanna newsom
"Killing an Arab" is another
Maybe cos the whole verses are in major chords. The big jumps with the major thirds gives it a "Rollercoaster" vibe in her singing. And also there has been speculation about the time signature of this song. Some say bits of it are in 3/4, 2/4 or even 8/8.
You need to listen to other Kate Bush songs if you think this one is weird.
She’s a genius. There aren’t many, but she’s one. Love her!

Parabens, eu sento muito triste para esse generacao, 45 anos havia Kate Bush cantando sob um livro clasicao ingles
Agora gatinhas jovem tem Taylor Swift 😢
Muito sinto pra meu portuguese 😢
Eu acha que era uma musica do Angra.
It's 43 years since this record was released. It still has just as much magic as it did then. It still brings tears to my 77 year old eyes.
We’re all with you Terence bless you
Agreed. Lightening in note form, creativity everywhere. Wonderful!!!!
My 64 yr old eyes too
You're a bit ahead of me I'm 58 but.... people today still know how good it is. Check this out

Cecile McLorin Salvant, Wuthering Heights (Kate Bush cover), live in San Francisco, Feb. 12, 2022
i agree im seventy five so many memories
This song literally changed my life. When I saw it I realised there was art and beauty in the world.
I read the book just to figure out what this song is about....
.... SHE'S A GHOST TRYING TO POSSESS HIM!???!!????
Now it's one of my favourite novels. LOL.
@@colliric - Kate Bush shares a birthday with Emily Brontë. I was also inspired to read the novel based on this song and became a little enamoured with the Brontë Sisters and Emily especially. It inspired me to read classical and other literature as a child which, in turn, led to my life's work in the arts.
I'd visit Howarth often and walk across the moors to the Brontë Waterfall and Top Withens, whose location was the inspiration for Wuthering Heights. Many hours I'd spend reading by the waterfall, all inspired off by a song.
It's a beautiful place to visit if you ever get the chance.
@@AnyoneCanSee SAME, no kidding I read all of the Brotë sisters biographies, and plan to read Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre. I never read any classical literature in school. Also decided to drive towards the east (I’m in the USA), towards the sunrise because of this song. Idk its like an eye opener, of some sort.
Puff.
This comment made my cry
I love Kate..so unique. .only Kate can sing and do Kate...
Getting full body chills when you listen to a new song is my favorite feeling.
I will never ever get over the fact that Kate wrote this at 18 years old in one evening and also recorded these vocals in one take... I feel blessed we got to be on the planet at the same time as her.
When art possess you in that instantaneously moment regardless of discipline.
I heard that she wrote some of her songs when she was only 16, but the producers decided to wait until she was 18 because she was too young and they knew that she was going to have a lot of success
Wait isnt this her first song? ANd she sung this in one take?? This hard challenging song???
@@whitneyhouston1122 Beginner luck? Genius luck??
@@maureenlaneski4309 IDK!!
One of the greatest mysteries I've experienced at this planet so far. An undisputable masterpiece.
Recently did a research essay on Bronte s novel and used Kate Bush's lyrics as an intro to my thesis (it was about Heathcliff and Cathy's relationship). Even after years this song is unmatched. Brilliant music, brilliant choreography, brilliantly sang. Kate really outdid herself with this one by challenging several norms releasing this in the 70s (1979) at the age of only 19.
The cool art teacher you kinda pretended not to like, but really loved.
She was about 18 here. So the student.
@@michelleannor6944 yeah but she looks way older, was kinda the norm back then to look way older than your years...so yeah, she looks like that art teacher...to me anyway.
@@l3oozehound Back then?? It's not made in the Jurassic era!
@@annamercer4398 No one said it was... And it would be pretty dumb for anyone to state that it was because humans weren't around then.
@@l3oozehound Have you never heard of using a metaphor to make a point? In other words, it's not literal, and therefore obviously doesn't need to be stated. I wasn't trying to start an argument: why do people always overreact on these things? I was just making (what I thought was) a simple statement that it wasn't that long ago. It's not my fault if people don't recognize a metaphor!
She looks like a beautiful ethereal elven princess... She's magic!
I think a genius.

@@bernd4883 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
this song has something magical.....
A classic timeless song . An artistic masterpiece ❤🌹
I do not understand how people prefer the 'red dress' version to this one. Considering the context of this song and what it's about and the character she is playing, this version utterly nails it. Right from that first 'rising up' she does; it's perfect.
I'm overwhelmed by both.
The version 2 with Bush dancing in a red dress is filmed at Wuthering Heights.
idk i kind of like how low-budget the other one feels. feels more personal for some reason.
I like that there's less overlay on the second one. I feel like both have their merits and people can like what they like.
It doesn't affect your life or negatively impact others, so who cares at the end of the day?
I’ve loved this as long as I can remember, from hearing it from my mum at 4 in the morning at 5 years old 😂
What I love about her is how she doesn't (or didn't) really care about looking pretty while singing. She opens her eyes & mouth up wide when she sings, it's like her facial expression is an instrument on it's own.
KateBushFrenchfan Yeah, I know.
David Pavlas elle a une voix incomparable avec des expressions faciales et gestuelles fantastiques. C'est toute une génération de chanteuses sublimes.
J'étais amoureux de sa musique et de sa voix quand j'étais enfant puis adolescent. Et quand j'ai vu ses vidéos sur CZcams quelques années après, je suis tombé amoureux d'elles aussi...J'étais très fan et je suis devenu super fan
David Pavlas natural beauty there that's why

I heard this a lot in the 80s. It was different than anything else at the time and stayed with me all these years. Glad to see it again on youtube.
*One* *of* *the* *best* *songs* *ever* *.*
Kate Bush is much more than just a singer and songwriter. She’s a storyteller who makes the story’s emotions come across perfectly.
Producer and arranger
Not to mention, a dancer and an actress. I love how her eyes get wide when she's playing the ghost of Cathy. She brings more passion to Emily Bronte's novel than my high school English literature teacher ever did. The song made me cry the first time I heard it, and I'm not one to cry easily.
@@rebecca8525 her facial expressions alone without the music
She's a nut job 😅
Did't made the story by herself... Please give sometimes credits to the original author...
A teenage girl so affected by a book written in the 1850s (ish) she composes and performs a musical and visual masterpiece retelling the story 120(ish) years after the book was written.I mean it’s just unbelievable.Without Emily Brontë we would have this.I’ve never been so in awe of anything in my entire life and I’m old enough to remember this being released.Love you Kate X
❤️🌹
I mean - I have recently saw a trailer for a movie about Emily Brontë and I immediatelly thought - if they do not include Kate Bush's song in it it is going to be a crime.
It's because they're both born on the same day of the year. The song shows the power of astrology. Two people can be born 140 years apart and yet fully understand each other because of the position of the sun was in the same place. Their moons are exactly opposite. One born Wednesday, the other Thursday.
@Karel De Lille You don't seem to be okay, judging on your other posts.
wow, naci en el 1982 pero supe de esta cancion hace unos meses de casualidad , me encanto y se quedo en mimente me hizo saber sobre Kate, y sobre la historia, me facino y cada vez leo mas detalles en comentarios, que gran artista muy unica, al punto que echiza ademas de todas las versiones de videos de esa cancion, todo esto sin saber que el tema running up de hills era de ella...
Always amazes me that this amazing Woman didn't become absolutely huge. I guess perfection comes in small doses.
Lyrics
Out on the wily, windy moors
We'd roll and fall in green
You had a temper like my jealousy
Too hot, too greedy
How could you leave me
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you, I loved you, too
Bad dreams in the night
They told me I was going to lose the fight
Leave behind my wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy
I've come home, I'm so cold
Let me in your window
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy
I've come home, I'm so cold
Let me in your window
Ooh, it gets dark, it gets lonely
On the other side from you
I pine a lot, I find the lot
Falls through without you
I'm coming back love
Cruel Heathcliff, my one dream
My only master
Too long I roam in the night
I'm coming back to his side, to put it right
I'm coming home to wuthering, wuthering
Wuthering Heights
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy
I've come home, I'm so cold
Let me in your window
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy
I've come home, I'm so cold
Let me in your window
Ooh, let me have it
Let me grab your soul away
Ooh, let me have it
Let me grab your soul away
You know it's me, Cathy
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy
I've come home, I'm so cold
Let me in your window
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy
I've come home, I'm so cold
Let me in your window
Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy
I've come home, I'm so cold
The ghost of Catherine Earnshaw is a very important aspect of Wuthering Heights because she represents the lack of closure between her and Heathcliff. From Catherine’s inability to tell Heathcliff that she loved him to Heathcliff’s hopefulness in the afterlife so Catherine will still exist, the lack of closure is evident in the novel. Ghosts in literature usually symbolize evil or demonic presences, while the ghost of Catherine is used to represent romance rather than evil. According to Ellen “Nelly” Dean, the main narrator of the story, some of the villagers claim to see Heathcliff and Catherine’s ghosts out on the moors years after their deaths (Brontë 417).
Wow, just shut up, fella.
a tragic love so deep it will last forever 💔 that’s the essence of cathy and heathcliff
Agreed. Kate Bush captures brilliantly the obsession/guilt/possessiveness that could 'create a ghost'; emotions intense enough to survive corporality. This toxic mix both attracted and repulsed 19th cen. readers of WH. Anticipating this, Bronte tempered her drama, set it 40 years earlier, and told it in flashback. She wrote under a pseudonym for the same reason.
Fun fact: Kate Bush's birthday is July 30, the same day as Emily Bronte, author of the novel "Wuthering Heights" which this song is based on. Also, her birth name is Catherine, which is also the birth name of the character Cathy in "Wuthering Heights." It's even spelled the same way!
and mine is the 29th and my name is Emily too :o
I guess you could call this life imitating art.
Better fun facts, she has the same rising and moon sign as me.
@ That's interesting. Whats your rising sign and moon sign?
I might have passed Grade 12 English if I wrote that trivia on my exam.
this song allways makes me cry because when ever this song came on RTR Countdown anyone of my older sister's allways told me to come and sit on there Lap while wrapping there Arms Around my wast and there chin on my shoulders rocking back and forth slowly to this incredible song my older sisters were like a mother to me then a sister even when I was in my early twentys I wasn't allowed
to leave there sight for more than a second so thank you for bringing back my childhood memories witch I'll cherish forever ❤️
This is a beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
For the longest time ever, I thought this was some weird foreing language song. I literally just learnt that it's a) an English song and b) it's recorded by Kate Bush. Crazy!
The vocal range, the bass, the chords, the way the guitar solo progressively shows up... one of the best songs ever
Totally agree awesome song ,hugely talented lady and so beautiful, definitely in my top 10 of all time
Wait 'til you try it in karaoke. You'll switch to "I'm Too Sexy For My Shirt" by Right Said Fred in a tick.
She's always high
The guitar at the end of this track is great
@@Belzedartrying to sing kate bush on karaoke is a fools errand for sure.
This song is masterpiece, just showed it to my girlfriend and she almost came into tears. Music is life, you can close your eyes and go 20/30/40... years back in time.

Yes, i'am from Paraguai!!!
I love the fact that she's beautiful, sing well, dance well and got this little vibe of craziness at the same time. Truly talented.
I think rather then "crazy" just not repressed. She let's herself feel and exist without caring of "playing an expected part". Craziness always has a feel of unstable and unsafe. But you feel her vibe is stable and carefree like the wind. We may not know where the wind blows and see it at chaotic but the wind knows where its going.
@@rene3759 good point
She's the hottest rock chick ever!❤
But I can never take this song seriously anymore, since seeing Pamela Stephenson's take on it;
czcams.com/video/SMXIro1P_7g/video.html
Kate wrote this song. It's HER song and no one sings it better than her. She also did TWO versions. This is the version where she is supposed to be the ghost of Cathy. In the other version of Wuthering Heights, she sings differently.
@@rene3759 Her dancing and movements are like the wind but those eyes! They portray just the right amount of crazy that enthralls.
Without having read Wuthering Heights, I think this song would go right over the listener’s head. Kate brilliantly captures the spirit of the book in her voice, lyrics and expressive dance.
Iirc She hadn't even read the book when she wrote the song; she saw the ending on TV or heard the ending in a radio program or something and just sort of made her own story based on the ending alone.
@@StargazerSkyscraper Not quite. In an Interview (with Michael Aspel czcams.com/video/ajMWT0dFNjQ/video.html) she says she first became interested in it how you described when she was young, and was told the story, but later read it before writing the song.
I know nothing about the book and understand this song. It's not exactly algebra.
i understand the song better than the book and i’m studying it for a level
She hadn't read the book when she wrote it at 17. True fact.
