Kate Bush - 50 Words For Snow - 10 year anniversary SYNC

[Iguana]

For anyone wondering, this is about a Victorian woman who is frozen under Lake Tahoe but floats up to the surface every so often, and her dog who waited for her after she drowned/froze.

 

[octophone]

The castanets really jolt you out of your reverie...

 

[jivafox]

Here's the bedroom


YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED IN THERE

 

[COB]

This is me until the start of Wild Man, sorry:

 

[Iguana]

This is me until the start of Wild Man, sorry:

But...Misty

 

[Tisch]

This is me until the start of Wild Man, sorry:

You're meant to ebb and flow along to it, like a woman bobbing up and down in a frozen lake

 

[RJN]

I finished my Covid test but I’m totally not in the headspace for this, but enjoy! Or don’t, if it’s not that kind of album

 

[COB]

But...Misty

It fails the famed HUM TEST, though I of course appreciate the lyrical themes

 

[Iguana]

The piano really is very beautiful

 

[COB]

You're meant to ebb and flow along to it, like a woman bobbing up and down in a frozen lake

I can do THAT at home!

 

[jivafox]

GET YOUR ICICLES OUT PEOPLE

 

[Iguana]

3. Misty

SNOWMAN BUGGERY TIME

 

[jivafox]

UGH yeah snow plow me SnowDaddy!

 

[Iguana]

I finished my Covid test but I’m totally not in the headspace for this, but enjoy! Or don’t, if it’s not that kind of album

I didn't read, but enjoy or I'm sorry for your loss

 

[Iguana]

This has a real GROOVE for an 11 minute piano song

 

[octophone]

3. Misty

SNOWMAN BUGGERY TIME

I wonder why she didn't have that printed on the inner sleeve...

 

[Tisch]

For more Misty related inspo, please check out the Sexy Christmas pic on Dark Moopy.


I really love this of course, it starts off fairly plain and story-telly before descending into proper Kate DRAMA.

 

[Soldi]

I wonder if someones ever tried to have sex with a snowman

 

[COB]

This has a real GROOVE for an 11 minute piano song

Kylie actually had a snowman in mind when she wrote her recent hit Real Groove, I read

 

[jivafox]

I can feel him melting in my hand

 

[Iguana]

I wonder if someones ever tried to have sex with a snowman

Maybe Rolf?

 

[octophone]

I can feel him melting in my hand

I mean, we've all been THERE

 

[jivafox]

Maybe Rolf?

If he'd stuck to snowmen he wouldn't be where he is NOW

 

[Iguana]

I can feel him melting in my hand

"It's the biggest rocket I could find"

 

[COB]

I can feel him melting in my hand

Me when I try it on with the yellow M&M

 

[octophone]

If he'd stuck to snowmen he wouldn't be where he is NOW

"can you tell what it was yet?"

 

[Iguana]

Full of dead leaves
Bits of twisted branches
And frozen garden
Crushed and stolen grasses from slumbering lawn
He is dissolving...

Really, who else could have created this?

 

[COB]

Oh this is great, I didn't give it enough of a chance before. The way it progresses

 

[jivafox]

Our one and only tryst
His breath all MISTY

 

[octophone]

Oh this is great, I didn't give it enough of a chance before. The way it progresses

The mix isn't generous to the composition - by foregrounding only the voice and the piano, it means you're really following her voice to stay in the song.

 

[jivafox]

HIS CREAMY SKIN

 

[jivafox]

Honestly the DRAMA of this song.

 

[Iguana]

She's about to introduce a WHOLE NEW MELODY

 

[Soldi]

It’s a shame we never got a music video for this

 

[COB]

Love imagining her husband and kids looking out the window at her from inside the house wondering what the absolute fuck is happening.

 

[Iguana]

It’s a shame we never got a music video for this

 

[octophone]

"The sheets are soaking"

Dirty mare.

 

[Iguana]

You can hear the music start to get a little...quietly crazed?

 

[COB]

Oh they're in BED She's a trier I'll give her THAT.

 

[octophone]

I love that she went for a real jazz feel to this. It swings (albeit gently).
