Lee told you about the singers from the Ukranian church who showed up every Christmas on their tour of people woh would make a large (?) contribution. The tradation was to bring out a tray with a shot glass for each. They were pretty smashed sometimes, I wondered ho many houses the visited. It was magnificent. The acoustics of our front entry and those voices. I wish I had a recording.
Kate Bush is a genius. I have always loved her and always will. All the Beyonces, Madonnas and Mariah Careys of the world with their diva personalities and need for attention......and then you have Kate. Quiet, reclusive self effacing but beautiful and pure genius.
If Kate Bush never wrote another song this would be enough. Just a joyous end to the album second side. It's brimming with emotion and soundscaping. Hello earth - if we found it new we would love earth. She is a national treasure without doubt. Wonderful.
It is staggering in it's beauty and complexity. MrMarrs has done a staggering job (as he always does) putting together visuals to explain the song. It's not the end track of Hounds of Love/9th Wave though. Morning Fog is. It is the Earth waking from her slumber when land reemerges from the ocean while also being KB's relief of coming out of her studio after completing the album. I hope you've subscribed to this channel to see more of MrMarrs genius tributes to KB's music (and other artists). I haven't watched conventional tv for over 18 months. I watch something from this channel almost daily. I'm waiting for MrMarrs to upload his clip to "Strange Phenomena".
Unless you listen to every single Bowie album, appreciate them for the wildly different contexts and purposes that they were created in, it is easy to regard Bowie as more shallow than Bush. It is actually quite a genius of Bowie to be a shallow looking water that runs deep. They were very different. Bowie was so soulful (check the song It's Gonna Be Me from the Young Americans sessions), so about the outsider - although often in a Nietzschian sense (Kate's arguably more about the 'insider' - the person in a stablish relationship, the person who works for the government etc. She's basically solidly middle-class par excellence). I don't like to say one's better even though Kate more explicitly plucks at the heartstrings and presents a more classically British life of playing piano in the parlour and being extremely family-oriented. She's certainly more organised in her albums as a fully cohesive, enjoyable, statement and she's far more of a concept artist than he was. She's far more of a composer than he was. He had his John Lennon-like ego going on sometimes and he wasn't particularly gracious to some British artists. However, she hasn't namechecked many people who came along after her either.
No song, no line, not even one of hers, has ever produced such a physical tingling reaction in me stronger or more often than that incredible “all you cruisers” at 2.45... it’s like she’s a got a switch to my inner most self. Astonishing song, astonishing album side. Good headphones, late at night, turned up loud, one person starts listening to the first track and different one finishes the last.
@@kikichunt8322 ; spoken like my beloved brit bretheren. Kate; and of course her protege are some of the highest artistic achievements coming from your side of the pond this century.
I understand that she (in 1985) could predict exactly what’s happening right now (2021) and of which her conclusion is ”Go to sleep little earth”….we’re doomed but the earth will wake up again….
I was a fisherman, so this song resonates with me. I love it. I imagine listening to it when we were in a flat calm sea beyond all the lights of land with the stars in the sky reflected below us so it looked like we were in the middle of space. Ive seen it. This song takes you there.
funny but, it was that part about the fishermen that moved me so when first I heard this, I would just imagine the peril at sea & the connection to the earth
This song is magic. The vision she had to write it and then the execution of the production with that choir. Art. Pure art. Play this when I die or something.
Always been a massive fan of Kate Bush...where others of my age ridiculed her (I was 17 yrs old at the time ) I found her music so unique... I could identify with her in so many ways in my youth... I kept this love of her music away from my so called friends that you could count on one hand!. Favourite songs that always stand out for me : The Man With The Child In His Eyes/ Mother Stands For Comfort /The Sensual World / Jig of Life / Etc Etc Etc...:)
You had musical taste beyond your years. I too had found myself hypnotised /empowererd by her incredible sonic creativity …she was so magnificent to make these songs as pieces of art
The young ones at the time didn’t know that Kate wasn’t trying to fit into the world of pop music. I’m the same age as Kate and back when she started, I loved some of her music but was completely baffled by most of it. Now at age 65 I totally get it. I get her. It’s art. It was never meant to fit in with Waterloo or Mamma Mia by Abba. She’s has always been out on her own limb, with her own style that hadn’t been heard anywhere back then. It was something new. Kate is a genius. Way ahead of her time and a lot of her music is way too mature for most very young people of that era. I’m just glad that I finally caught up. She’s phenomenal.
Hab sie immer gern gehört......aber Hello Earth berührt mich......genau wie Dream of Sheep.....das ganze Album war damals echt der Hammer......für mich heute noch......ach Kate gern erinnere ich mich an Bios Bahnhof
“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams............
Simply, WONDERFUL! Thanks, Kate for the music which has threaded my life from an uncertain young blood, generally 'going for it', to the old fool you see now.... It's got me through some sticky patches: THANK YOU!
@@1thaleb He's right. The album will be considered a masterpiece and the song itself is a masterpiece. The song is probably Kate Bush best song ever. And I am old enough to have heard Wuthering Heights on TV in 1978.
Keith. Please look harder. There's never been a better time to discover new talent. We have to ask the question (as I'm sure KB has asked herself many times), would (she) have been 'discovered' had it not been for a lucky break? We all know the story. Don't give up in despair of ever finding anyone to match her - her wonderful, consistently beautiful music. Don't allow it to stifle your quest. Great as her music is - don't forget that Kate's music is a sum of parts - an amalgam of everything that influenced her songwriting - her vision. She, in turn, has influenced so many others & continues to do so. I'm 66 with a lifelong love of music. In the 1940's My mum was a singer in a danceband. My whole life has been surrounded by music and, in our digital age, there's never been a better time in history for talented songwriters, musicians to reveal their craft to the world. 'Discovery' of new talent is no longer the sole domain, the proviso of record companies who sift through for what is commercial - what they think will sell - often discarding material that isn't instantly likeable. Can you remember the first time you heard Wuthering Heights? I can remember it. I was 24, a vocalist in a band performing covers of rock music and I remember being ridiculed (in the nicest possible way) over my enthusiasm for this strange 'girl' with a high pitched voice singing a song that was about as far removed from the rock 'norm' as was possible to get. She was too different - too 'out there'. And, back then, she was the wrong gender! Music was dominated by all male 'groups' & singers. Gilmore had the insight - he was the vital spark that got the ball rolling (pardon the pun.) Had it not been for Dave Gilmore, it's highly unlikely that Kate would have seen the light of day. Right from the beginning - even after she'd been recommended by Gilmore, EMI were far from certain. They thought he'd sold them a dud. But for her strength of purpose, Wuthering Heights wouldn't even have been her first single! Never forget; The Beatles went to Decca... Decca turned them down - at which stage they could have been hidden from the world for ever! Decca said "Whoops, big mistake", then signed up The Stones. Fortunately we no longer have to rely solely on the big boys dictating what we listen to. There's a whole would of great music at our finger tips. We just have to look. Keep searching & you'll find. Have you heard Laura Marling? She's just one of many hugely talented musicians available for our enjoyment. If you haven't - I recommend you listen firstly to the album 'I Speak Because I Can'. Happy searching - may the music be with you!
@@davidlambert7725 The milennial whoop in todays garbage sounds like the singer is playing the role of the bloke made to squeal like a pig in Deliverance as the squealer besides the mill\ennials cant write their own music '
You're wrong friend. Use rateyourmusic to find excellent music from today. Millenials are plenty capable of writing great music and denying that fact is very close-minded. Our forefathers said the same about their respective eras. Don't make the same mistake.
@@keithgregorygregory5702 Seems that my best intentions - my time consuming & non confrontational effort to help in your search for 'new' music has come to nought. As I tried to explain... there is simply more music out there now and, with that, comes an inevitable mix of good bad & in-between. There's always been dross, there's always been good. Back in the 60's, 70's & 80's there was dross, lots of it, and our only source was what the record companies thought was commercial enough to sell in huge volumes. Nothing has changed - but the search is more exhaustive - we have to make the effort to see beyond the 'garbage'. It's there in greater volumes than ever! But here I go again - wasting my time. This time time I make no apologies for being confrontational... You've closed your mind - you're not listening - you're not searching. Did you even bother listening to Laura Marling as I suggested? An incredibly talented singer song writer with a string of albums to her name. I discover lots of great new music via suggestions from others who are trying to be helpful. If you did listen & you dismissed her music as "Garbage", then you truly have closed you mind. I've worked with a lot of talented musicians over the years. None of them wallow in the musical past. They acknowledge its influence, praise it, in some cases almost worship it, but never allow it to cloud their judgement or stifle their search for the new.
The whole concept album was astonishing. Waking the Witch was so damnned unexpected, Under Ice so horrifying, god this didn't get the recognition it deserved.
I met the entire crew of Apollo 12, and sat down and talked for a long time with each of them, especialy Bean. He said that Spece changed him permanently, but oddly enough, going to the Moon was not as profound as living in the Space Station for over a month, looking down on the Earth. Hello Earth.
Long ago I got the unique privilege to talk to the entire crew of Apollo 12 for about an hour. Bean, who became an artist afterwards , was the warmest and the best. He told me that while being on the Moon was a profound experience, it was nothing compared to his prolonged missions orbiting our beautiful, unique and warm planet. He said that experience, the most profound of his life, permanently changed him. numerous astronauts have related similar feelings from this experience..
Hello earth Hello earth With just one hand held up high I can blot you out Out of sight Peek-a-boo, Peek-a-boo, little earth With just my heart and my mind I can be driving Driving home And you asleep On the seat I get out of my car Step into the night And look up at the sky And there's something bright Traveling fast Look at it go, Look at it go Hello earth Hello earth Watching storms Start to form Over America Can't do anything Just watch them swing With the wind out to sea All you sailors (Get out of the waves, get out of the water) All life-savers, (Get out of the waves, get out of the water) All you cruisers, (Get out of the waves, get out of the water) All you fishermen Head for home Go to sleep, little earth I was there at the birth Out of the cloudburst The head of the tempest Murderer Murder of calm Why did I go? Why did I go? Tiefer, tiefer Irgendwo in der tiefe Gibt es ein licht Go to sleep little earth
Oh god this has made me remember how obsessed I was/am with the Ninth Wave. One of the best albums out there- experimental, brave, bold and just beautiful.
In that part the song there is a prayer in order to keep her head above water. The original version of the song was going to go straight to the chorus part but she changed her mind about it. As most creative people do.
@@MrMarrs sir this video deserves a NASA reaction since I`ve learned JWST launch date is set . Ocrober 29 th 2021. Again send it to ms Bush your masterpiece in editing = choosing seqquences and arranging it togesher fits with this song pefectly. Thank you
Her songs and compositions are something extraordinary. Thanks God that she appeared some time ago. I love her and this what she has done in music. Awesome!!!!!!
It was only the Internet many years later that enabled me find who sang that mysterious thing at the end. It was legendary Hamlet Gonashvili from Georgia, long time ago. How she found him back then was a mystery to me and a mind of a genius. But I remember having headphones and listening to this with closed eyes. And thinking "what is this??" Also, Werner Herzog used this chanting even earlier than Kate in his "Nosferatu, phantom der nacht" movie.
I always get a rush when Kate says "Tiefer, tiefer / Irgendwo in der tiefe / Gibt es ein licht" English translation: "Deeper deeper / Somewhere deep / There is a light" Too often we forget to see ourselves in the bigger picture. Not just our "little world" range of experiences and places.
Three years ago the subject of your favourite song came up in my circle of friends. One of my friends said it was this song. Sadly, weeks later he suffered a tragic early death completely out of the blue. It was naturally played at his funeral in full. Most of us were a complete mess listening but my dear friend will never be forgotten and will always feel close when I hear this beautiful song. #RIP
It is truly beautiful and I have gone on to listen to Hamlet Gonashvili's Tsintskaro. Utterly amazing and makes me want to delve into more Georgian music.
My first time experiencing this song, I was extremely high on weed. The break in the music where it's just the male choir was so hauntingly beautiful... When I closed my eyes I had a visual of this big red oil painted robot, surrounded by a lush backdrop of nature. That memory will always remain in my mind whenever I hear this beautiful piece of art.
@@noradosmith The Richard Hickox Singers done the Kate Bush version it based on the one in Nosferatu which was sung by a choir from Georgia i'm lead to believe .
Tiefer, tiefer, ... Irgendwo in der Tiefe gibt es ein Licht..... Go to sleep, little earth. Alas, earth and its residents really seem to be asleep. Time to wake up, little earth. Thanx Kate Bush. Really beautiful music.
The choral section, performed by the Richard Hickox Singers, is taken from a Georgian folk song called 'Zinzkaro' ('By The Spring'). "'I was passing by the spring. There I met a beautiful woman with a jug on her shoulder. I spoke a word to her and she left, offended. I was passing by the spring."
The whole album is wonderful but this song is a masterpiece, words fail me. I remember the first time I heard this track and it was a spiritual experience.
I was listening to Tsintskaro while watching Georgia qualify for the next round of the Euros! Such a beautiful song. I haven't managed to find the version by Vokal Ansambl Gordela Kate uses here, with the bass voice. Most versions by other ensembles don't feature that. Did she record them herself, or use the Nosferatu The Vampyre recording do you know?
Ah, I've just checked it out and it was recorded using the Richard Hickox Singers with lyrics by Kate as an approximation of what the Ansambl Gordela were singing. Fits perfectly though.
Near the end where the harmonies shift from what sounds to my like open fifths on F and C to open fifths on G-sharp and C-sharp, right before the "Tiefe, tiefe"--gets me every time! It feels like the whole universe just opens at that moment. A small space growing vast.
I've always loved this ethereal magical creature known as Kate bush, she really does make me feel like I could fly amongst nature ,every song a masterpiece.
Dream of Sheep & this song have always been my Hounds of Love faves. It's great to see so many peeps checking out Kate's music, thank-you Stranger Things. 😎👍
An absolutely amazing song that takes me to the deepest depths of my soul and dreams I never knew until I heard this beautifully almost haunting music. My body is here but my soul is flying in the beautiful spiritual world❤
The Georgian choir must be thanked for their beautiful song Tsinkaro. She used Bulgarian voices in the Sensual World too but not to such a great effect as this, apart from a couple of tracks maybe. Also, listen to Bulgarian women's choral music. It's beautiful.
I listened la Mystere de la Voix Bulgere in the early 90s, i think, and was mesmerised. I have listened to Prituri se Planinata over and over again since then, and it has featured in a play I was in (Three Sisters). There's such a fierce vulnerability in the voices, and the balance of form and raw humanity is gripping. I'm off to listen to it again. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dfqxE3EgrxY.html
How can you not be dazzled at the majesty and splendour of this world? And yet....there are people out there who still believe the Earth is flat!!!! My mind boggles at their extreme stupidity!!
Hamps West Oh right; apologies, lol. You’re absolutely bang on spot on - it’s just that flat earthers bring their newfound internet ‘knowledge’ to every conversation, oftentimes uninvited and nothing to do with the original context..... ♥️
been a fan of kate bush since 78 just to let you know im Old! lol Ive loved her music all through her career, this is my fav vid ..watching it in the dark..like now 2.10am in uk ....its an exceptional track, with a superb vid! I Love It! Moments Of Pleasure is also a brilliant vid./Rob
