I was originally planning on doing five political music videos this week. Then I decided I’d feature some beautiful things rather than things that remind people of fear and uncertainty. They’ll be plenty of other days to spotlight things like America by Kurtis Blow and the obscure Schizophrenic Breakdown by Chainmale. With that in mind, I am doing a video from each decade of Kate Bush’s career from the 1970s to the 2010s.

I know that Wow and Wuthering Heights are more well-known early Kate Bush videos, but I thought this one was appropriate for MLK Jr. Day that also happens to be Religious Freedom Day since the song is about having a desire to learn as much as possible. Also, it’s a pretty good introduction to what you can expect from Kate Bush: beautiful music videos, meaningful/heavy lyrics, interpretive dance/dancing, and being goofy at times.

She’s also known for her live performances, which makes sense considering videos like this one. There’s a video for Wow that is made up of a compilation of live performances, and you can see the two dancers from this video all over it. I remember reading someone’s comment somewhere that she worked with the same dancers for decades. Don’t quote me on that. However, it wouldn’t surprise me.

A little Easter Egg to look for is that Kate didn’t have her armpits shaved in this video. I only bring that up since a few years later Nena would get written up in British tabloids when she didn’t have them shaved during a tour in the UK.

Enjoy!
