Kate Bush - Army Dreamers

[VoR]

Another viral hit on the horizon?



Always one of my favourites of hers. Hauntingly beautiful.

 

[Finn]

I love her more than life itself, but to me this is piddly nothing. Especially when compared to the TOWERING MAJESTY of so much of her work.

 

[straightorbroken]

I love it so. The mother who has completely cracked, sung as if tucking in her little boy and the riffle effects reduced to a rubble of tweedle dee dee hums. Oh it's heartbreaking, really, yet so hummable and restraint. Never For Ever has the most incredible singles and Delius could have joined them. I mean, on a scale of 1 to Breathing, it's not at the 10, but on a level playing field it certainly is.

 

[Iguana]

Not one of my FAVES, but it's rather profound and the video is CAMP.

 

[Sheena]

RIGHT UP THERE for me. I always loved mimicking the BATSHIT CHORUS when I was a boy.

I’ve always felt it suffers coming before Breathing on the tracklist, which is the context I’ve always heard it in.

The single cover is though

Love that she gave 0 fucks that you can't even really read the word "Army".

Isn't that bad lighting? Mr L's is more like this

 

[Marilyn]

In school I wrote a short story that stole phrases and ideas from this song, it was highly praised by my teacher and I never gave Kate any credit

 

[lolly]

It's her #7 of all time on Spotify, with just over 37m streams. But on daily streams it's #2 behind RUTH.

 

[Iguana]

I think my favoiurite line is

GIVE THE KID HIS PICK O' PIPS

with a staccato delivery

 

[VoR]

#2 now.

 

[lolly]

And over 220m streams in 18 months. I assume it must be well playlisted. That's more than Padam Padam has in total.

 

[VoR]

More than Wuthering Heights and Cloudbusting is madness.

 

[ButterTart]

More than Wuthering Heights and Cloudbusting is madness.

Right? It's a decent song but not a patch on them. If it overtakes Snowed in at Wheeler Street I'm going to ask her to remove it from streaming.

 

[crazychris]

Yes, 10, great song.
