Wow, this is so fascinating, thank you!💕 Honestly, I know nearly zero Kate Bush songs, but I’m so intrigued by how you describe it, and the whole haunted house thing… The Shining IS a scary book! And now I wonder what walks the walls of my haunted mind…
On the topic of The Shining, the Lyric Opera of Kansas City was set to debut an opera adaptation of The Shining but was cancelled due to the start of the pandemic. To this day I don't know how I feel about that.
I knew it would be this one when you mentioned the mule. I used to listen to it on headphones when I was a teenager. I'd put the lights out and pretend I was going to sleep, slip the cassette in, and dwell in those huge sounds. It was what I thought an album should be - full of complexity, inventive use of sounds, raw honesty and tunes as big as hurricanes. I puzzled about the backwards bit at the end of this track, trying to figure out what the lyric was (I couldn't read the lyric sheet as the light was off... I was pretending to be asleep, remember?)
I already know what your next one is. I thought it was daring too.
Thank you for this series! I now have that track as a very pleasant earworm.
Thanks Roz - I think you and I would have been friends as teenagers! You're absolutely right about that raw energy, I can't think of anyone who captures that as well as she does. And yes, I'm sure you've guessed it *gulp*

Haha, thanks Sheila - I’m so glad this series is enjoyable for people who are new to her music.
I'm going to need to listen to this song. Fascinating examination!
Thank you so much!!

I might have already written an article on that, Chris, watch this space...
