I reached out to the festival organising this and they doubled down on it. So icky.

Also known as "Feeling Like A Waltz" by some bootlegger who seriously misheard the lyrics.

Listen here

Another one from probably 1976, there's nothing like a 17-year-old complaining how old they are.

The Dreams of Orgonon blog is even more harsh. Yes, it's not one of her better demos, but it's still really good for someone who's just 17. And I really do like the melody!

>!This is somewhat AI-assisted so be wear!<

So I came across a tweet on Twitter talking about how if you search up "Is Kate Bush LGTBQ+?" this would pop up

And when I searched it, I kid you that is what popped up.

I have been meaning to post about this for some time...I listen to Waking the Witch with earphones a lot... and I have heard some things in it which just do not align with the lyrics I can find online.

I will give timestamps and please tell me if you hear what I hear...or if you hear something else, please post!!

First... the drunken vagabond seems to be saying "vainglorious slag" at 0:49 seconds. (Slag meaning slut in British english.)

Where it says "poor little thing" 2:00 on the screen...I instead hear "wh*re b*tch" or wh*re witch or perhaps "poor witch" LOL)... is it just me?

Also it says "Help this blackbird" in lyrics everywhere...3 :11 for some reason i cannot hear that at all!

I hear simply "This blackbird" or "Rescue that bird... there's stone around my leg..."

Can anyone else actually hear Help this blackbird? It seems impossible that she is saying Help this blackbird because there are too many syllables for what I hear.

Pt 3!! Again, I am excited to hear your guys’ thoughts, hot takes, etc about this :)

It seemed like people liked seeing the data for The Kick Inside, so here’s the version for Lionheart! Personally I think In The Warm Room is criminal…

9. Coffee Homeground — 1,256,755 [+307]
10. In The Warm Room — 1,183,635 [+264]

This album has so much less than The Kick Inside, it’s CRIMINALLY underrated

Another from probably 1976.

The Dreams of Organon blog loves it, and for good reason. It's one of Kate's rare moments of (deserved) cynicism. A Ray Davies-type look at English society and not quite liking what she sees.

Give it a listen.

Listen here

Another (probably) 1976 song, One of the few demos where everyone agrees on the title. Here's more info and the lyrics. Some speculative talk about it.

Personally, this is one of my favorite demos. I love it when Kate plays with ideas because she has a unique way of twisting them.
