THE SUNDAY SYNC - KATE BUSH - THE SENSUAL WORLD - 8PM 31/05

[Iguana]

And yet it wasn't one she chose to revisit on Director's Cut. Presumably she's written it off herself.

I'm almost certain that's because of the Hitler reference

Her qualms about the lyric won't have helped.

Also, that fretless bass/chorused guitar combo is hideous.

 

[Zu]

Does this one really have ANY TUNE WHATSOEVER?

Oh HUSH IT MR. MUSICMAN

I only mean that this bit of the album is a bit PATCHY so please don't get turned off her albums because of it!

 

[octophone]

Now, I might be out the boat but I seriously rate Deeper Understanding.

 

[Tisch]

(getting ahead now) BUT Deeper Understanding is again such an interesting topic to choose to write a song about. Obviously the subject matter makes it suffer from being the most dated on the album. I really like the DC version.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

This is much better.

 

[Zu]

Oh well THIS is more like it

What is it about?

 

[Iguana]

I PRESS EXECUTE

 

[dmlaw]

Is this a song about replacing human contact with technology? It's almost as if she knew about lockdown. It would have been nice if she had told someone.

 

[lolly]

Deeper Understanding really is extraordinary lyrically isn't it?

 

[Iguana]

Is this a song about replacing human contact with technology? It's almost as if she knew about lockdown. It would have been nice if she had told someone.

Exactly this

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Oh yes this is far more like it.

 

[Tisch]

What is it about?

About a man who gets so sucked into the world of computers he abandons his family and eventually his own bodily needs.

Thank god none of us are like that.

 

[lolly]

Now, I might be out the boat but I seriously rate Deeper Understanding.

I do too. And I think the Director's Cut version is equally amazing.

I think I prefer the Director’s Cut version of this (especially the stupid voice )

Kate was online in 1989, but probably doesn't have a smartphone now.

[octophone]

Dated? Prescient, I think - almost eerily so. And written with compassion too.

Hell yes. It's more haunting on DC! It's a bit more parody-ish here.

She has her trusty iPod Shuffle, why would she need a smartphone?

A Moopy ANTHEM

[dmlaw]

This might be my favourite on the album so far. The subject matter feels like it has never been more relevant.

 

[Tisch]

It SOUNDS dated but the idea is very forsightful! (Is that a word?)

[Iguana]

I apologise on behalf of Kate for Between A Man And A Woman.

 

[Tisch]

A rare foray into a typical love/relationship song for Kate?

 

[Iguana]

I think Deeper Understanding and BAMAAW are very linked. They're both about something or someone interfering with a 'normal' relationship.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

This is fine.

 

[Iguana]

I do like the line "Where angels fear to tread, you go rushing in" though

 

[dmlaw]

I think Between A Man And A Woman sounds like it's meant to be jarring. If so, it works, but it makes for rather unpleasant listening.

 

[octophone]

Between A Man And A Woman feels unrealised. It's half-an-idea. Again, overdubs and layers in place of melody.

 

[Iguana]

This is fine.

I don't consider fine to be enough where Kate is concerned!
