Running Up That Hill: 50 Visions of Kate Bush

Product Information

Met dank aan close friend en superfan Martin behoor ik zelfs tot de uitverkorenen die haar concert Before The Dawn hebben gezien. Running Up That Hill: 50 Visions of Kate Bush is a vibrant and comprehensive re-examination of Kate Bush and her many creative landmarks. With an output of just ten studio albums over a career lasting more than three decades, she was recently introduced to a new generation through the use of her music on the TV series Stranger Things. Although Doyle gently probes Kate and politely challenges her occasionally during the interview, he doesn’t pass judgement during the book or reach any conclusions; it’s left for the reader to make up their mind.

As a journalist and interviewer, his work has appeared in Mojo, Billboard, Q, Sound On Sound, The Guardian and The Times.I just find it frustrating that people think I’m some sort of weirdo recluse that never comes out into the world,” she says. Comprising fifty chapters or 'visions', Running Up That Hill is a multi-faceted biography of this famously elusive figure, viewing her life and work from fresh and illuminating angles.

Yes the big songs were on this one, but I loved Cloudbursting and Under Ice were the ones that made me a fan. They are the beehived blue eyed soul of Dusty Springfield, the most exquisite opera diva Montserrat Caballe and yes my beautiful elven Kate Bush. Bush deserves a wise and sympathetic biographer, and acclaimed music journalist Doyle is both, offering a fascinating and probing work. We take pride in offering a wide selection of used books, from classics to hidden gems, ensuring there is something for every literary palate. Whether you're a seasoned enjoyer of Kate Bush's unique discography or a new listener discovering her work for the first time, this book comes highly recommended.In this version, however, 'Cathy' was carried off at the end by 'Heathcliffe' - played in this instance by Fielding's "Mighty Boosh" partner, Julian Barrett. We go through her musical early life, to playing at the pubs, to precocious adolescent songwriting, learning the piano and other instruments and the development of her most beautiful voice.

Kate Bush has long combined her unique musicianship, deft wordplay, dancing, directing, and an eclectic flair for innovation with a certain reticence for self-promotion. Some parts were lost me, as I’m not an aficionado, but to read the background and context left me completely smiling. I first saw and heard Kate during her appearance on Saturday Night Live in the late 1970s, and I pretty quickly fell in love, following her every musical move.Running Up That Hill is a vibrant and comprehensive re-examination of Kate Bush and her many creative landmarks.
