@@ottilie8890 lol @ this reasoning. Sure, the government just didn't want to make people feel the sadsies, even though they're perfectly fine sending young men to die in pointless wars, that must be it. It couldn't be that they wanted to lower any chance of resistance towards men going on and dying in pointless wars.
@@ottilie8890that’s a horrible reasoning. death is present all the time there is never a situation where a song about death isn’t going to upset someone
such a beautiful and sad song, i already have a lot of respect for anyone who's in the army but this song made me more mindful, sometimes i forget little kids most likely joined the army :(
Everyone is someone’s baby. It’s another layer of heart strings pulled. All of them were small and innocent, then they grow up to fight other people’s battles, instead of being home, they’re dying. It’s hurts for me to really think about it.
@@UnBesoDeCristal most people who go to the army dont have another choice, they come from poor families, or need money to support their own, maybe they never were able to finsih high school etc, key word they said "people in army" not the army
@@UnBesoDeCristal you call the military a 'terrorist organization'? That's rich. Maybe it's time you step out of your cozy bubble and realize that these brave men and women leave their families behind to ensure you can sleep soundly at night.

Hearing that it was banned on certain radios during the Gulf War makes this song hurt even more to me. My dad operated in Desert Storm and oversaw POW in the Gulf War, and even though he came back alive, he came back changed. Sometimes it feels like the war took my dad before I ever got to meet him, because he went to war so young and I was born over a decade after he returned. I’ve always seen the effects of that war on him, whether that be how he has the voice of a sergeant, how daunting it was to see him in uniform as I grew up, or how he falls silent whenever we pass by the Desert Storm memorial in my rural town. He may have come back alive, and his mother may never have had to bury her son, but often I wonder if my dad ever came back from Iraq or if Anthony came back instead. Kate’s song hits my heart in the right spot to feel tears welling up whenever I listen to it. She nailed the daunting feeling and the emotions behind families affected by war.
Pulling the Pin demo heard by Dave Gilmour is what gave her a start! Beautiful story of a legendary musician helping create another. You can hear his backing vocals
I don't cry very much but this one got me. My dad was 17 when he was sent to fight in the gulf war. 17. 'Mentally unstable' is an understatement in his case.
I always feel difficult to listen this song. Is so sad... so hauting. Stills so true, and that scares me so so bad. But is this that make this composition so well done, amazing.
This song makes me so sad bc my little brother just joined the army bc he was running out of options 😞 (we're orphans and have been struggling for years and at the point we were at, it was the army or selling dr*gs)
also some anti-war songs were banned for other reasons, like Enola Gay which was actually banned because they thought the word gay would be inappropriate for children, even though it doesn't mean homosexual in this context
This is one of my favourite Kate bush songs of all time it’s so beautiful yet heartbreaking to listen to, I absolutely love Kate’s song writing and lyricism. I’m glad lots of other young people are discovering her music rn, my mum is a big Kate bush fan so I was very lucky to grow up listening to her music.
I mean, English people doing a mock Irish accent IS pretty annoying, but Kate Bush is the daughter of an irish immigrant, which makes her as Irish as Shane McGowan. I'll allow it
Exactly, 50% Irish is imo as an Irish person enough to consider yourself a notably Irish Irish-American. Also just to add, Kate Bush would actually be my close-enough cousin.
I actually made a whole playlist on Spotify of the banned songs and for some its weird that they were banned but some actually make sense (on of the songs is called "suicide is painless" 😅) edit:typo
Fun fact: "Suicide is Painless" is a song written as a theme song for the movie M*A*S*H, a "dark comedy" satirical movie about war surgeons during the Korean War. This was later adapted into the 1970s TV show by the same name, which moved from "dark comedy" into "sitcom." It has a reputation for being very progressive even by today's standards, incredibly anti-war, and moving quickly between lighthearted comedy and the grim cost of war. Also, since the original M*A*S*H is satirical, the lyrics were written by the songwriter’s then-15yo son, so it could be as edgy as possible and “the stupidest song ever written,” as demanded by the director. Source: Wikipedia.
Bfpo is British forces postal order, basically the son is sent home in a box. Also Kate’s mum was WILDLY Irish, like sooo Irish 😂 her brothers called paddy ffs 😂
It's British forces post office. Which was a number given to different towns or places where the military were based. Like a post code. For example BFPO 36 was Osnabruck in Germany.
Just found out 2 days ago from my grandmother that Kate Bush is my 1st cousin twice removed. Additionally me and my family are all fully Irish, so Kate Bush is still probably more Irish than half of proclaimed Irish-Americans. Even though my dad never met her he has stayed a few nights when he was younger at her mother's house in Waterford, Ireland, where my Nan is from too. Clarification: My connection is that she's my Nans cousin/ Nan's Aunt's daughter/ My father's mother's mother's sisters daughter
i like how most, if not all, of these songs that were banned are now huge to the audiences nowadays (mostly young people), it kinda goes to show that most of the youth also know of and resent the damage caused by such conflict
This reminds of Born In The USA by Bruce Springsteen, it was a song about how America drafted men and forced them to go to Vietnam while those soldiers have to deal with PTSD and having no benefits like they were promised. But today and since then, its been treated as a song that is talking about the good of America even though that is the complete opposite.
As an irish american person who was raised by an irish grandmother - the song hits that homey chord , lithing is such an important part of our story telling
*lilting I really don't like shutting down Irish Americans but still... 25% isn't enough to refer to yourself as Irish (specifically when you say "*our* storytelling" I'm genuinely very sorry and don't mean it as an insult, people aren't really told in America how to portray being Irish-American and what qualifies.
@@TheIrishKnight0 25??? My ancestors on both sides are irish and im 3rd gen on both pls spare me i was raised by an irish woman not irish american and im fucking dyslexic dear god
And by our i mean my family bc my grandma story tells like this i was speaking personally bc it is very very personal to me i literally dont have any other ancestry except irish to the point where im pretty sure both sides of my family share a common ancestor
Kate bush’s status is what every musician would dream to age into. A genius whose music is so timeless that it ends up trending on an app (significant to modern pop culture) many generations later. The same person who is at the age of having a hard time keeping up with modern pop culture.

so unrelated but when this song was trending my cousin had just been shot and killed and i can’t help but think how the lyrics are so eerie to hear when that’s so fresh in your mind. rest in peace Ky, my army dreamer❤

Yeah it gives me the same vibes as Simon and Garfunkel's "Scarborough Fair" and I love those kinds of calming melodies with depressing lyrics because they really... how do I describe it... They get the point across in a way that really sticks- and they're a lot easier to sing lol
I‘m glad that in times of youtube and such there is no „banning songs with war critical lyrics“ anymore. (My personal favouirte: Home Back by JINJER; a Metalband from Donbas region of Ukraine)
Bro I have no clue why Kate bush is having a revival but I’m so into it. Thanks everyone for making her super relevant to Americans 💯. Now when I talk about her people don’t look at me like I’m a crazy person.
My father is alive but he lived in poverty when he was young and went to the Myanmar Military. He got released with diagnosis of mental illness. He joined the MILITARY NOT BY UNIVERSITY! He was a worker solider and he climbed to captain level, when he came back, he was traumatized and abusive. I don't blame him but I do too. My Grandma is dead now but I think all of us are mourning of her bright son, my non existent non abusive dad, my mom's sweet husband if he wasn't traumatized. He is a great man but he has PTSD and other issues.
That explains why the song feels so haunting yet so calm
