Hi and thanks for this and I'm really glad you had so much fun with it. "50 Words..." is one of those rare songs where a major recording artist pretty much relegates themselves to the role of backing singer in the interests of the song. In this case Kate Bush imported the actor Stephen Fry to take the more prominent role. And the idea for the song was that it was taken from the old tale about yup'ik-ayaskimew-Inuit people having 50 words for snow, and in the song the various words for snow would become ever more ridiculous until we reach the most ridiculous of all such words for snow: which, of course in Kate Bush's world is, and could only be..... "snow.!"
This is one of her songs where she takes an abstract idea and allows her imagination to go where it pleases with it. She did it with "Pi" where she basically sings out dozens of the decimal place numbers of the number "Pi" in a way that presents with what she calls a circle of infinity (and it really is worth listening to). In her song "Rocket's Tail" she takes the idea of what would it actually be like to be a fireworks in the middle of a display and in the process delivers one of the most extraordinary songs of even her discography. In "Heads We're Dancing" she tries to imagine what it would be like to meet a monster in disguise and be almost beguiled by him only to find out later that you have been deceived, and so she writes a song about being at a dance in Berlin in the 1930's and meeting this stranger who seems so charming and so on the flip of a coin she ends up dancing with Adolf Hitler. Others of her songs were inspired by movies or books that she saw and she allowed her imagination to run riot with the ideas in them, songs like "The Wedding List" inspired the movie "The Bride Wore Black" (there is a wonderful live version of this with Pete Townsend on guitar and Phil Collins on drums), "The Infant Kiss" inspired by the movie "The Innocents", "Get Out Of My House" inspired by the Stephen King story "The Shining." her song "Houdini" was inspired by the story of the widow of Harry Houdini attending seances to see if her husband had survived death itself.
One of things you pointed out to in your reaction was the Kate Bush mind and imagination, and your are absolutely correct. She takes us on these twisting, turning stories in many songs that really only she would ever think of writing. One review of one of her albums once said that there really is only one Kate Bush, but thank God there is one.
Thanks again for this - it was really enjoyable.
I love all of her music. But the later work I love the most. Beautiful jazz with a splash of psychedelic. You've figured out how to listen to it - You don't need drugs just Kate's dreams-capes. You should react to her "Mrs. Bartolozzi". It's about cleaning her house and doing laundry. I love it.
Now react to Kate singing the number Pi to about 130 decimal places. It’s on her Ariel album.
That really drew me in. Really interesting way that Kate did this👌🏻👌🏻
Something you might like is the new David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) song that he just released with his daughter singing. Between Two Points ft. Romany Gilmour. I think she sounds like Dido. A beautiful song
Thank you, and yes this video was fine which is a lyric video. (Even better) Kate never made an official video for the song , but there are several fan videos out there, mostly just scenes of snow showers. A interview with the American radio station KCRW, Bush said that the idea for the album's title song came from thinking about how the Eskimo have 50 words for snow, which led her to use fantastical words and phrases, such as "spangladasha", "blown from Polar fur", and "Robber's Veil". The spoken words are done by British Actor and writer Stephen Fry. The album of the same name is a journey of wintery ecstasy and definitely takes you on a “trip” 😃. I love to listen to the entire album when I’m needing some relaxing moments. And I don’t know who the “Joe” is. Another one of Kate Bush’s quirky things I guess Thanks for the great reaction.
We need to tell Ben & Jerry’s to name a Kate Bush flavor Vanilla Swarm😃. I’m on that!!
The 'Joe' is credited as someone by the name of Prof. Joseph Yupik. Although, I neither know who he is
