HOUNDS OF LOVE MEANING MAC

“They just thought it was too much.” One comment was that Bush was the high priestess of too much.

If you’re not familiar with Kate Bush, plenty of others are: Prince, Peter Gabriel, and Elton John all collaborated on songs with her, and she inspired younger talent including Tori Amos, Björk, Joanna Newsom, St. Bush also became the first female artist to have eight albums on the charts simultaneously in the UK.

Written by Kate when she was eighteen, the single flew to the Number One spot in 1978 and stayed there for four weeks.

If you’re not expecting it, her voice can be a bit of a shock (scroll down to the video):
