Wow, exactly 140 years between their birthdays. I have learned something new. Unbelievable.

The odds aren't that long on them sharing July 30th as their birthday though ,are they? 365/1

Ok, maybe a bit long but not that longSmile


I always found Kate's song This Woman's Work ,although a fantastic song, unbearably depressing.Really not sure why, i haven't a clue.Maybe there's some long forgotten childhood trauma associated with itConfused

Used to work with a lad many years ago who was obsessed with Kate Bush.He was forever regaling a story of when Miss Bush won an award at some music bash sometime in the 80s and her acceptance speech consisted of her simply saying "Oooh i've just come"LoL He always found this hilarious. It is quite funny though

lyrics to 'this woman's work':

"I should be crying, but I just can't let it show.
I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking

Of all the things I should've said,
That I never said.
All the things we should've done,
That we never did.
All the things I should've given,
But I didn't.

Oh, darling, make it go,
Make it go away."

yeah, it's a fucking MYSTERY why you find it depressing, johnny. Wink

it's a beautiful, melancholy song. always brings a tear to my eye and a lump to my throat. it's about a woman's life being in danger during childbirth, although i don't think you need to know that to be moved. i bet it's bloody written in d minor, too.

my favourites are wow, and breathing, and the man with the child in his eyes, and hounds of love. wasn't running up that hill the theme tune to a children's tv programme in the 80s?

kate's ace.

my little brother knows the dance to that wuthering heights video, but i've never managed to get him drunk enough to show me. one day, one day...

edit: yes, running up that hill was the theme tune to running scared. as you were.

Well, yes.It is probably the saddest and most haunting song ever.Closely followed by Radiohead - Harry Patch(In Memory Of).
