i know that charli's album came out decades after hounds of love, but stil. However, she went on to perform this version – along with “Hounds of Love”, “Cloudbusting” and the entire “The Ninth Wave” suite – in 2014 as part of the Before the Dawn live residency and later released on the late 2016 live album of the same name. the background photo is minethis song reminds me of 'true romance' by charli xcx.
Find out more about how the album was made including the stories behind the stunning videos in. Hounds of Love was Kate’s biggest album and the one she produced herself in her own custom built studio. However, she declined and instead remixed the song for the ceremony. Kate Bush’s do-it-yourself ethic has been an inspiration not only for loads of female and male musicians, but also for yours’ truly. In 2010, another remaster was released by Audio Fidelity on marbled vinyl.įor the London 2012 Olympics Closing Ceremony, Bush was asked to perform “Running Up That Hill” live. Hounds Of Love Lyrics Kate Bush It’s in the treesIt’s coming When I was a child, running in the night Afraid of what might be Hiding in the dark, hiding in the street And of what was following me (Do-do, do-do, do, do) Now hounds of love are hunting (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh) I’ve always been a coward (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh. Including 6 bonus tracks, the album became the first of Bush’s releases to be remastered before the starting of her label Fish People in 2011. I recommend hunting down 'The Whole Story', the collection of 'Hits' which followed 'Hounds Of Love'. My personal favorites are Hounds, the follow up 'Sensual World', and 'The Red Shoes' (which is much maligned for some reason). Instead of crowded cityscapes, songs were written gazing across scenery and allowed the harsh “mankind’s screwing things up” energy to depart in favour of a more positive one.Īs part of EMI’s “First Centenary” reissue series, the album received a remastered release in 1997. Also, like those other classic artists, a lot of Kate's stuff is fantastic. Featuring more honed production and techniques, it allowed Bush to leave the bustle of London and retreat back into the countryside, away from the grips of her label EMI. The first to be recorded in Bush’s own home studio, the album is a drastic departure from The Dreaming. Containing Bush’s first and most praised conceptual piece, “The Ninth Wave” details a dark tale of a woman lost at sea, entering a dream sequence as she awaits rescue. Side 2, however, is an entirely different scenario. Side 1, titled “Hounds of Love”, features all 4 singles and threads its 5 songs together through a loose theme of love. Split across 2 discs, the album incorporates 2 very different sections. Widely considered her magnum opus, it lit another rocket under Bush’s career (following the “she’s gone mad” response of her previous record) and went onto finally break the US market alongside becoming her best-selling album. Hounds of Love is the fifth studio album by singer, songwriter and producer Kate Bush.
