    It was back in the early 80s and I was up in the middle of the night, flipped on MTV and there was THIS VIDEO. It totally blew my mind. WHO WAS THIS??? I had to hear more, went out and bought the album, "The Dreaming," which this song is not on, but I wore that album out and her other albums since. Now it's 2023 and only now is she scheduled for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, decades overdue given her astonishing songwriting talents, gorgeous voice, artistic innovation, raw courage, fresh spirit and unacknowledged influence. Though she's long been an artist's artist, it probably took the Netflix TV show "Stranger Things" to finally get KB the recognition she's deserved. She's a very different artist than Joni, but of the same caliber, imo, or even more, as Kate's songwriting breadth went beyond her personal life and her artistry more complex and orchestral. Listen to Side B of "Hounds of Love"......"The Ninth Wave." It's a masterpiece.

    I think this has to be one of the greatest songs ever. I think it is masterfully crafted and incredibly clever.
    The "out in" I think has to be one of the most simply brilliant lines of music ever. Yes it represent breathing but it's abnormal. Conventially, we think breathing as being in then out. But that implies that we are breathing in healthy air. In this song, the persona kate has taken on (the baby) has no healthy air to breath in because of the fallout and so is left only able to breath out first. And when we think of the lack of healthy air, every time we hear that out in we are reminded that every breath out is a breath closer to death until eventually we are presented with the desperation. Kate is screaming for something to breath and then the song ends on that sucking inhale sound. It's the character trying desperately to breath in anything.
    But to no avail and the song ends.
    Kate is a literally genius.

    I just got finished with the movie Threads (1984) it depicts before, during and after a nuclear war including nuclear winter. A specific scene stood out to me and it hit on a different level of emotion. There was a pregnant mother and her parents along with her sick dying grandmother in their home of rubble. Crying, her mother urges her to eat for the baby. She says “I don’t care about this baby anymore, I wish it was dead. All this radiation I’m breathing in, I’m always breathing.”
    “Im always breathing.” Such a painful scene

    I remember the first time I visited England. I was with my family, and it was in 1980. My brother and I decided to take a walk through Piccadilly Circus and check out the clubs, shops and theaters. It was amazing-all the stuff to see and take in! We walked into a record shop, and I believe "Never For Ever" had just been released. Everyone was all a buzz because Kate Bush was considered such royalty there and back then, but I'd never heard of her. After hearing both "Babooshka" and "Breathing", I was hooked immediately. It was eccentric, beautiful and absolutely brilliant! The rest is history!

    • @aerialkate
      @aerialkate Před 10 lety +11

      'Never for Ever' was the first ever album by a British woman to top the UK charts. Fantastic album - to my mind hasn't aged at all. Just the way it was all put together; the sensual way that the track 'The Infant Kiss' (an often overlooked classic among Kate fans - those menacing strings...) runs into 'Night Scented Stock' which goes into 'Army Dreamers'. So classy. 'Hounds of Love' should've gone to number one and the fact that it only made number 3 (if memory serves) is indicative of the British public's descent into vulgarity in terms of cultural shifts. I'm English and I've watched it happen. Sad. I'll bet after Kate's 1980 achievement the record industry thought there'd be loads of Kate Bushes coming up. Didn't happen did it? Then again - she's a one off. I'm glad that you got into Kate Bush - because...the whole world should be in love with her. There's something wrong with people who can't find it in their heart to love Kate. Congratulations on your impeccable taste.

    Breathing (Never for Ever, 1980)
    Kate adopts the persona of a foetus fearful of being born in the midst of a nuclear holocaust. With the Cold War intensifying, this was a pertinent, typically ambitious, risk-taking song and a highly unlikely hit single from Bush as she conjured yet another startlingly unique performance.

    @j.k.1963 Před 4 lety +39

    To find this song at the end of the Never For Ever album was and is for me something hard to deal with. I mean the structure, the tone, but most of all the emotional impact the song has, so very distant from the other tracks on the album. It's like looking at our solar system and recognising the consistancy of the different celestial bodies and then outside this well balanced system you discover a blackhole or something else so different and grand...When I play the album, I never play this track and vice versa. It stands on its own and does a great job with that. A very important song which to me describes the unrest felt during the early eighties with a nuclear race going on between The Soviet Union and The United States during the cold war. Living in Western Europe at the time was living with anxiety. Missiles were directly aimed at us.
    To know Kate wrote it at such an early age and have it recorded in just three days... she knew where she wanted to go with it. No doubt about it.

Im an 80's baby.. I can't even articulate what im trying to say here.. I just think this lady is magical and whether she knew it or not she has transcended space and time with her music..
