The most talented female singer-songwriter in my opinion.
For sure 😊
Agreed ❤
ever, for sure
Joni mitchell
And she did it years before Madonna. That's why Madonna respects her and attends her concerts. X
singer , actress and storyteller, she looks and sounds fantastic- no one compares
Your description is perfect
Actriz y narradora? Perdón es que apenas la conozco, me podrías explicar?
That woman has got so many talents
@@yakita8166 all round fabulous, she's just wonderful , a delight to hear .
I'm 59 and still have many of her albums and tapes, she had a beautiful voice.
She’s exquisite. Her mannerism, her face, her voice. She has no equal in the arts of visuals and music.
ehm ... and what about Mylene Farmer ?!
@@uplnejvypatlanec1692 who is she
No equal? Four decades later...and who is there? Nobody. You are absolutely right.
@@robertjohnston4280 She's the best!
Mylene Farmeur was 10 years later, but Kate's better
This is one of Kate’s most underrated songs. It’s an absolute bop and my favourite off ‘The Kick Inside’
First of hers I heard on radio.
Moving is my favorite song from that album 💖
I live for the chorus and last minute of Room For The Life
I was totally mesmerized by her as a youngster...now she's trending I've realised I'm still totally mesmerized by her...really enjoying all her music videos on CZcams. We all say it and we all mean it Kate Bush was brilliantly unique.
Your last line .. That's so true.
I totally agree.
she still is!
@@ericorbit and she always will be!
She is a goddess ♥️💞💓♥️
You may not realise but what you are hearing is the live stage version released as Kate Bush Live on Stage EP recorded in 1979.
If you listen carefully you can hear the audience.
Kate was only 17 when she put together Wuthering heights, This and other classics on "The Kick inside" album. Brilliant choreography, music, vocals... Truly classic.. I hope todays kids look out for her first albums...
She was only 14 when she wrote wuthering heights
Wrong facts
She wrote it when she was 14
She wrote it when she was 14
@@mikebooker6243we get it!
Her facial expressions are superb like always
only jim carry can by pass her
Kate was obviously as mad as box of frogs great song saw her do it on the punk programme Revolver in 78
dermot51 ironic that someone with a name that rhymes with Kermit should be talking about frogs lol
Brilliantly clever rapier like riposte Marc
dermot51 sorry lol, it’s the pandemic bringing out the best in me. 🤷🏻♂️😆
"Break me emotionally, it's nearly killing me...what a lovely feeling!" Ugh, GOD I love her lyrics 💜
So-called “anti-racists” can`t deny that they want a world in which White people are an ever-decreasing population until eventually we no longer exist because of mass immigration and “assimilation” being forced on every White country.
It is an act of genocide to advocate or facilitate the destruction of a racial or other group.
Lots of people are saying: Anti-racist is a codeword for anti-White.
On a more down to earth level...I LOVE that purple satin skirt..
I love the lady in it.
Stunning!
Me too, I was noticing that, and that tank with the zippers goes well with it.
Me too and her black top and sandles too
@@amandaprill1508 She used to wear that black top a lot, I've seen at least 3 different outfits with it. It's cute!
This is where I wanted my childhood to remain, the best of British, and kate bush. I remember 1978, thankfully. Her vision /facial expressions always convey the story /narrative of the song. Not many artists /singers can achieve that mix. Those days live forever in my thoughts /mind. Thank you kate bush. 🙏. Derek x.
I remember it too. Nothing can take that place, and that time, from us.
Kate Bush is truly one of a kind!
A lot of people say she was before her time but the fact is she is truly timeless, she undoubtedly paved the way for so many after her and still nobody has come close to her unique style and presence!
I can 100% see her music still being modern, relevant and unmatched for years to come!
+MADMATJOHNSON i second that mate
totally one of a kind
+MADMATJOHNSON Is it ever possible to get enough Kate? Nope, play the next video.
***** if you dont get it by now ,you never will,so i wont even start by trying to explain why kate bush is so talented and unique
+MarkasTZM never possible!
She moves her entire body. Her hips are mobil, like hardly anyone else's. And she is so extroverted and unashamed natural. Like nobody else. So classy, and beautiful.
well she studied dance for a long time. Not just learning a routine for a stage show, really learning how to dance.
Her work with Lindsay Kemp is what accounts for the connection between her mobility and self expression.
The audio for this video is from The Kate Bush Live on Stage EP 1979 ( you can hear the audience at the beginning and end). which got to number 10 in the UK. Apparently, actual stage footage was not yet ready so Kate recreated the stage performance for this video. So what you are hearing is a live performance. It was also the first recording on which Kate took the lead as the producer.
Her and the two dancers do the same routine in the 1979 BBC Christmas special. But the camerawork there is better there than in this video. The forward rolls from the dancers, her jumping up and being caught by them like an ironing board. The framing is too close and cuts too late on this video to appreciate it.
WHY is this so freakin ADDICTIVE?!?! I'm not getting any sleep tonight cause this is going to be playing in my head the entire night!
It came at me suddenly and I just HAD to look it up 😮❤❤❤
It is just perfect. The way she sings, and moves, her expressions towards the camera. Her body language. She is so enjoying it, and its all so captivating.
She was on some next level shit with her themes, presentation, the messages in her songs. Like she KNEW what was up. WAY outta this world, ahead of her time.
She knew exactly what was up but wouldnt come out and directly say it everytime because we all know that can destroy your career.
Her art does the talking.
@@aphexamine - Please stop with this deranged narrative 🤦🏻♂️
My God..... just look at this totally amazing woman. She is just completely incredible......!!!!!
Every Kate Bush song is a little story wrapped up in poetry wrapped up in ethereal music.
Kate Bush is the most beautiful oddity I've seen. she has been around for a while but I only found out about her a year ago , I knew she existed and of course I knew a few songs but I did not know really until I watched the documentary. thirty five yes after her start she changed my life in a sense. it's as if on purpose - I believe that she is not only a pioneer, a brilliant artist and visionary, I feel her energy as so positive she literally comforts me,,,,, somethings I cannot explain and Kate Bush is one of the greatest surprises I've found in life. she's so humbled and shy but she's not like anybody else and I seriously doubt female musicians today would be the same if not for her. the real ones anywhere.
+Jessica Martel ah Jessica, so glad you found her xx
+meriel mccarron me too, I still can't even really explain why but I know she's an an angel, she literally cheers me up!
how is that possible?
Strange phenomenon indeed👀
I have always been a music person and I've loved lots of bands,artists,etc. but not like her, cuz it's more than her music even if it's perfect:) it's about her, and this woman has no idea what she's helped me through but I don't believe it was coincidental, thanks man
peace
jj
i agree with you!she is amazing
this has been my precise experience over the last two months.
My experience aswell for over a year now!! crazy. She stores so much positive emotion in her music, and she's completely genuine and sincere. a huge rarity.
Lyrics
Rolling the ball (rolling)
Rolling the ball (rolling)
Rolling the ball (rolling)
To me
Rolling the ball (rolling)
Rolling the ball (rolling)
Rolling the ball (rolling)
To me
They arrived at an inconvenient time
I was hiding in a room in my mind
They made me look at myself, I saw it well
I'd shut the people out of my life
So now I take the opportunities
Wonderful teachers ready to teach me
I must work on my mind, for now I realize
Everyone of us has a heaven inside
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Them heavy people help me
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Rolling the ball (rolling)
Rolling the ball (rolling)
Rolling the ball (rolling)
To me
Rolling the ball (rolling)
Rolling the ball (rolling)
Rolling the ball (rolling)
To me
They open doorways that I thought were shut for good
They read me Gurdjieff and Jesu
They build up my body, break me emotionally
It's nearly killing me, but what a lovely feeling
I love the whirling of the dervishes
I love the beauty of rare innocence
You don't need no crystal ball
Don't fall for a magic wand
We humans got it all, we perform the miracles
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Them heavy people help me
Heavy heavy
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Rolling the, rolling the, rolling the, rolling the
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Them heavy people help me
Heavy heavy
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Rolling the, rolling the, rolling the, rolling the
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Them heavy people help me
Heavy heavy
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Rolling the, rolling the, rolling the, rolling the
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Them heavy people help me
I was 14 when I saw her American debut performing this song on SNL IN 1978. She was 18 I think. It awakened brain cells in me.
Season 4, Episode 8 on 09DEC78 puts Kate at 20 years. She sang this song and "The Man with the Child in his Eyes". This is also the episode Dan Ackroyd plays Julia Child - and turns into a bloody mess in the kitchen.
choreographed everything too, yeah, big up!
What a spectacular talent..never seen anything like her
One of my favorite songs ever. Kate and David Byrne really occupy a totally unique spot when it comes to musicians - there's else nobody like either of them.
I really feel like David Bowie is up there. At least for me.
@@porkman1838 Definitely!
Yeah, sorry, agree all so far,but I just want to throw Fee Waybill in there as well, the tubes, their stage act and performances were up there as well.
@@porkman1838 Hahah....I was thinking Bowie all the way down these comments. We used to make em so much more memorable back then!! Dareisay more diverse? Now they all just fit into one box or t'other.... Maybe I'm just an ol c@nt though....
The way I see it, there is a spiritual message in the lyrics of this song and also in how the video played out
I see the metaphysics in this message relating to spiritual residues
What a creative artist, full of talent, incredible voice, she makes her own music and also dances. And also an incredibly beautiful and sensual woman. No one comes close to how great Kate is.
no one, to compare with kate bush. past, or present.. unique.
finally i found michel jackson and lady gaga mentor
SHE IS SO UNBELIEVABLE!
I love her...no more nor less..
No-one else even compares to Kate.
Ever since I discovered her music my taste in music has changed because I can relate to such energy i catch myself singing or even dancing to her mysic its really some whimsical ah shit
A song to really help take the load of seriousness off the painful situations that may come up in all those different kinds of relationships we have in life. Looking at life with a little madness like Kate does in this song is probably the most healthy thing a person can do. BRAVA KATE. You soothe souls. You are the Queen.
she really like balls

This woman has hidden talents, on top of her obvious ones!! I love her!!
i love her so much ugh
Is it just me or does Kate look even more gorgeous than usual in this video....
beloved witch, she charmed the whole world
Always a fan of Kate since the 80's! This is a song for all times ♥️💜💞💗👐.
She is a student of the Teachings of 'The Gurdjieff Work' this is what this song is based around. 👍
Utterly mesmerising
Dancers And actors who acted with her in that clip are good too
I was 12 when The Kick Inside came out and this was my favourite track. I have all of Kate's albums and have loved and listened to them all ever since. She was and still is a genius.
Too Funny! She is so totally honest with herself and makes me feel that way about myself. A cool lady
She has giving me so much joy over the last 3 months or so since I found her..I bought every album she has..shes the greatest female entertainer period
Pamela Stephenson was spot on with her Kate send-up.
Kate Bush would have made a brilliant actress...
For sure!
She would have been great at whatever artistic path she followed., Multi talented.
Watch "The Line, The Cross & The Curve." Its the closest you're going to get for now.
She would have been a terrible singer if she was forced to push 'sexy' over substance. I feel the same if she had to follow a movie director's orders. It has been said there is a skinny person inside every fat person trying to get out. Not Kate Bush. I just wish Wican themes didn't ruin hersongs after her earlier success, such as this flawless performance.
@@noddatellayu4144 What's wrong with Wicca?
Allway wonderful.
English rose = Kate Bush. I saw her in Munich in 1979 and it was a wonder to behold.
Always faling in love when i see Kate Bush .
I know exactly what you mean. Even as I look at her today, despite how she's aged (gracefully, I should say), I just love her so much. Such a beautiful soul. The world is a better place with her in it...
That is true like a cow .Als we say in Holland
dusty hendriks Ain't that a great saying? And so true, even today.
Thanks Flo.You no my girl friend has ben to Kate Bush London about 3 weeks back .Still going strong .
dusty hendriks I went a month ago. Still going strong - and yesterday I listened to the bootleg audio of the concert for the third time!
Kate is like watching a concert, wrapped inside a musical, surrounded by concept- art. Rave.
Kate Bush was a true original.
Stylish, beautiful, intellectual, tender, talented, sexy, brave, humble, original....etc...
I was totally mesmerized by Kate Bush when she sang this many many moons ago on Saturday Night Live, circa 1980
Still such an extraordinary and fun video. Her great mix of humor and profundity. The slo-mo fight is just amazing choreography.
She was so awesome on those first few albums, all the facial expressions and mannerisms so amazing!!
I still can't believe I'm just discovering Kate Bush...but I love her nonetheless ❤️
So talented, a Goddess. Fantastic album the kick inside was.
Her first six albums are masterpieces. Aerial too
after one year of listening to her i said: all the other music can be taken away from me i don't care, all i need is kate bush. after 25 years: the same.
Yep, nothing comes close to her music, I’ve loved her since I was thirteen I’m now forty eight and still love her, she is amazing
Me too.lana del Rey too nowadays. ❤
I have to strongly agree with this.
The most talented and creative female singer ever! No other singer can match her and ever will!
Not just singer - musician! One of the greatest, not just female, musicians, that is what Kate is! Plus even more than that, as she directs, dances, and acts her captivating videos. And even there she is magical!
You haven’t seen too many female singers, huh?
@@newyorkny533 oh no he has, Kate’s just that good you silly scrotum
I love this one. Kate you are original.
Thank you for all your feed back
The one and only Kate at her best. Nobody like her wonderful 💕
She is so unique, expressive, confident, gorgeous. She pulls u in. Adorable!
You're absolutely right 😉
It is so amazing that she is such a wonderful talented singer, dancer, songwriter, composer, performer and storyteller! I love Kate Bush! ❤️
She's brilliant,❤,
My friend used to joke me with this song back to 2020. and it hurt me to know that he isn't with me since early November from last year. Miss you, Steve. Always do.
What a comedian, what a woman, what a musician!! Kate, je te donnes douze points de l'Allemagne!! You are so great, Kate!!!! Love you forever!!
maybe my new favorite, how wonderful it is to discover new good stuff in general but also from Kate Bush.
In this artistic composition, Kate Bush reminds me of the caricature of Luthien Tinuviel form J R R Tolkien's novel, The Silmarillion.✨
A magnificent singer and a stunner to boot. Fell in love with her when I was about 10. Lol!!
keep rollin' the ball Kate i adore you and so do many many million's
she really like balls
Kate is incredible. An utterly unique voice and talent, and a true visionary. But also incredibly provocative and sensual. I know I'm just repeating what everyone else has said but I just wanted to say it too!! Congratulations on your recent success Kate, it just goes to show how timeless and unique your work is!
This has been going round my head for a couple of days so had to play it.
Love Kate Bush, but not sure I really liked this when it came out as a single. Might have appreciated it more if I'd seen this video. Her mouth alone makes such brilliant expressions!
woah.. what a minx.. there will never be another kate
Indeed
+karl nicholls Right back at you! They are talented. However, Kate Bush moves me more. Just my opinion!
+karl nicholls It took listening to Peter Gabriel's Don't Give Up as a kid to make me feel this way.
Dana Vixen I know what you mean. kate is much more mystical and music was much more unique at that time in general ( The magical 1980s) because the artists were not as controlled by the greedy industry. plus people were more in tune with the inner self. I have faith that the good times and real golden talent will return one day :)
Dana Vixen ps my favourite is (breathing) wow just wow
The look, the moves, the voice, the songs - she had it all
Does she still sing?
Has
For some reason I resonate with this song. One of my favorites. I don't know exactly what the song is about, but for me it reminds me of finding and falling in love with music at a young age.
"every one of us, has heaven inside"
I love this genius!
Always been mesmeric and aesthetically beautiful precocious and then she starts singing … which is the voice of an angel. The female version of Bowie.
This was a song she wrote towards influences her family talked about as she was growing up - it was about her passion to educate herself and learn as much as possible...from such an early age....pure genius........Florence welsh is the only person to come close since...and she is still miles behind!
I LOVE YOU KATE BUSH!!!
Love you to bits,Kate…forever ❤
When I listen to old music like Kate bush I'm glad my Dad had a great taste in music when I was a growing up.
same here...my da knows tunes.
Kate Bush - birthday 30 July - the same as Emily Bronte author of Wuthering Heights.
i can understand and relate ,to the story i heard ,how about tori amos was captured by Kate Bush .tori was out driving and Kate jumped out of the radio and captured her heart and mind , to such an extent that tori had to pull over and tried to recover from what she'd just experienced . great story.you can hear Kate's influence in "cornflake girl"
same thing happened to me ,having learned bag pipes for 6 years as a kid and bored with it and asking how we could make it interesting again. was walking down freak street in Kathmandu Nepal and heard this pipe music ,with sitar and guitar with a choir ,just floating down the street.tracked it down and came to the discovery of Alan Stivell and his album "celtic symphony".and at the end of the album has the most simple but most beautiful piping i've ever heard .opened up a whole new world for me .what a day that was .
I had a coworker who said, "rolling the ball, I don't get it!" My estimation of that coworker went way down in an instant. Smart people love Kate and understand her weird but highly intelligent lyrics.
Saw her perform this song on the original SNL. I was awe struck because I’d never heard or seen a style like hers. Still Luv her music these many years later.
Is it CZcams or somewhere? Would love t see that.
I will forever associate this song with my own spiritual awakening. It was 3am on a weeknight with work a few hours away, as I had been eyeballs deep for months in a search for truth in ancient cultures and religions.
When I stumbled upon this song, I broke down and weeped for a good 15 minutes, pure joy and happiness. "Because now I realize...everyone of us has a Heaven inside!" And THAT is the secret of the ancients. THAT is what we are not supposed to know...that we have limitless potential if we expand our consciousness.
"I must work on my mind!" "We perform the miracles!" We are the Energy of the Universe operating at a certain vibration, and we are all connected. Our divisions are creations of our conscious egos, nothing more, nothing less.
Why would I not be kind and happy and giving and peaceful to everyone I meet? Why would I give and receive anything other than Love?
Thank you, Kate Bush - you beautiful, Enlightened woman - for having an incredibly positive effect on my life. Every time I hear this song now, my crown tingles and energy shoots up my spine :)
Thanks for reading, and I hope this comment has a positive effect on someone else. Love.
Yes, the song clearly deals with spiritual awakening (death of fake ego self and birth of true self as "heaven inside"). It is obvious to anyone who has gone through it.
Yousef Ghanimeh It has nothing to do with christianity. It is just much more than that.
Please tell me you're vegan?
You are not so fine! :D I'm joking, do not worry!
What you doin' here? :D
It's amazing to me how expressive and uninhibited Kate Bush is as a performer - when she seem so sweet and modest when you see her interviewed. It's hard to believe it's actually the same person, the contrast is so dramatic.
She was so precocious. And gorgeous... And musical... Yet I'm not jealous. Just happy she exists. 🙂💕🙏
Sad news that Lindset Kemp, the dancer who taught her dance and mentored, has died.
Love this song. I remember it when i was about 8 in 1979
Wow, I had all these on Video back in the day. Loved her but no one I knew could understand her style. Just Awesome.
Loved doing impressions of Kate for the family as a tiny little girl 👧 xxRespect/ love to Kate , a genius!
The Epitome of Sensual. There will never be Anyone like Kate Bush
Streets ahead of adele what a superb voice and can dance as well.
Bloody hell, seeing this today is even more stunning than it was back in the day. Talent & skill beyond words.
Bring this music back pleeeese
Been pondering a possible future for Kate. This is in the sense of 'rolling the ball'. UK has several universities which offer musical composition. Kate could be a guest lecturer passing on her vast store of knowledge of lyrics and composition. The halls would be packed. She could teach piano, also. Just ponder Dr. Bush. 🙂
I think you will find out quite soon she is far from finished as a musician.
@@kkhr1935 Fingers, toes and eyes crossed for something new from her, also. Noticed a recent trend where singles are released instead of full albums. She could have a lot of fun with this path.
Wow... I've known this song for 30 years. I grew up with her music in my home and was enchanted by it. But only now do I see the lyrics. I'm 40 now. Lyrics are beautiful.
My 2 1/2 year old loves listening to this song when he goes to sleep. The 6 year old enjoys it too! They both enjoy the dancing as well ... especially at the end.
:)
Captivating. Thoughtful. Beautiful. Unique. Provocative. Natural. Timeless.
How does she do this? No one like her, ever. A living breathing human treasure.
