I should add that I continued to thoroughly enjoy Kate's music, right up to, and including, 'Aerial', though the last couple of releases passed me by.The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-38786038158576817322016-05-11T03:38:22.213-04:002016-05-11T03:38:22.213-04:00She does divide opinion Brian doesn't she?

The hits were on side one, but side two of Hounds of Love is where you are left with your jaw open.<br /><br />Swede, I love memories like that. You're gonna make me grab for the tissues like you did with some of those record shop posts. Don't you want to talk to that young Swede behind the counter?<br /><br />George, I agree with you about the Robster's comment. Best British songs could be quite a series. I might start with Waterloo Sunset though.<br /><br />Echorich, Running Up That Hill and Heroes often made a great pairing during my mix tape years.

There's so much tension, mystery and beauty realized in the song. Kate tapped into something that very few pop artists have - Bowie did - where art enhanced the song allowing it to transcend the genre without loosing its roots.

When I listen to the album these days I'm instantly transported back to the cramped space behind the counter, the claustrophobic kitchen area and the dank toilet facilities. I can recall all of my fellow staff members and many of our regular customers. The fun, the laughter and the music. And the innocence. <br /><br />It was all a long time ago. Probably the happiest days of my life.The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-54236327116529422742016-05-10T11:47:25.785-04:002016-05-10T11:47:25.785-04:00Genius is an over used word - but she is one.

Perhaps as someone who spends copious amounts of time taking in simplistic indie pop, 'The Dreaming' challenged me too much. I do plan to give it another go today. Running Up That Hill is so good even Americans couldn't ignore it.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321051045499549249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-69102753005972648372016-05-10T07:13:32.665-04:002016-05-10T07:13:32.665-04:00You know abut my love of Kate, especially The Drea...You know abut my love of Kate, especially The Dreaming. Have to say that Running Up That Hill isn't just one of Kate's best songs, it's one of the best British songs of all time.TheRobsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18277941961790844321noreply@blogger.com
