I read that Kate Bush named this song A Deal With God, but the record company told her that it would be too controversial to release a song with the word "God" in the title in the U.S. (1985)

[Dalberg-Acton]

Kate Bush - Yes.
Cori Bush - No. Hell no.

Years ago the lesser known Claudia Brucken (with Andrew Poppy) did a scaled down covers album with Kate’s song on it…

I adored her

[absalom01]

Guilty.

Downloaded a tab, and have been playing that stupid song all day for the grandkids. Simple tune, but catchy.

I think it sounds better without the 80s synthesizer vamp imho.

[NowApproachingMidnight]

Good news this. Perhaps the folks listening to it will get turned onto Eno, Talking Heads, Peter Gabriel that are in her circle circa that time.

My favorite is her on Games Without Frontiers singing Je Sans Frontier. So chilling.

[Steely Tom]

Roxy Music might belong on that list.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I tried watching Season 4 of STRANGER THINGS last week.

It is totally unwatchable. All drugs and homos, all the time.

This will be the last season.

Get woke, go broke.

[nickcarraway]

I’ve never seen it, but I thought it took place in the 80s, when that wasn’t front and center.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Season 4 changed.

Placebo did a good cover of it:

It seems like someone else covered it, but I can’t think of who that is now.

[Salamander]

The original MTV video was pure bliss and blissiosity.

Can’t even find it now.

[Salamander]

Closest I can find

And never forget Babooshka

[Salamander]

Heh.

Immediately I was thinking of Gabriel, too.

I have a particular fondness for “Intruder”

As much as I love Phil, Peter was the one.

[Salamander]

Apropos of nothing, this Brazilian “Viking” makes me want to go out and sack pillage every time I hear it.

It’s that final growl that does it.

;D

[Psalm 73]

Love Kate Bush - Hounds of Love was a watershed album. Great use of her Fairlight piano.

And she was quite the looker back in the 80's.

[Arcadian Empire]

Placebo’s version is intriguing.

[Arcadian Empire]

She sounds ethereal on Don’t Give Up.

[Arcadian Empire]

Her best song is Experiment IV.
