What a lot of people don't realise is that it's Kate playing the piano on this track. She wrote the lyrics the music , arranged the music for the other players, and choreographed the dance.

She just helped with the arrangement... but the rest is spot on and a magnificent achivement, even more so at 19, plus it was first time she was in a pro studio. Also, one take vocals, one session mix... damn it, gurl

In other words 'musical genius'🎶💚🎶

Kate Bush is a pure genius. One of a kind and wholly original. There will never be another Kate Bush.

I'm glad you at least had an inkling of what Wuthering Heights is! I can't believe so many reactors have no clue about one of the greatest works of art in the English language. You always have very thoughtful comments. I agree that the setting and century may change, but feelings do not. You should check out WH and the story. You'll see what a great job Kate Bush did of recreating the yearning, the haunting feeling of the novel. Enjoy!

Kate is singing as the ghost of Catherine Earnshaw - hence the ethereal voice

Thats the first British woman to write and perform a number one single , thats from a country rich with them

To me her best song! Masterpiece! And at that young age wow!

The world FINALLY caught up with Kate 37 years ahead of her time with running up that hill

The new music today is horrible. We recycle the old stuff because the talent back then makes todays musicians seem like amateurs. Todays music stinks.

The chorus in this song is just astonishingly beautiful. And everything she's done is, at a minimum, interesting. Very few bands/singers can say that.

Worth listening g to the version she released about twenty years later with less high voice. Her choreography/ mime is incredible and never seen before or since really

Love her so much she's Progressiv Arts for me, the Goat.. Enjoyed your reaction..

She actually says im coming back love... cruel heathcliff...my one dream my only master..

Shes a ghost in this a ghost that's come back for her lover love Kate bush

Incidentally, Kate's vocals for the single were recorded in a single take. Another interesting fact is that EMI wanted the first single to be a different track, but Kate held out for Wuthering Heights - no mean achievement for an unknown teenage female in a world of men!

Seems like an intelligent guy. SUBSCRIBED!

Facts

It's Wuthering Heights not Withering Heights. It's the title of a classic novel by Emily Bronte from 1847. She plays Cathy's ghost in this song.

I don't agree with people commenting about Mace's way of introducing his reactions talking endless nonsense. In that case, what he says is so relevant to what Kate Bush tried (and succeeded!) to share with this song: all the emotions you can get reading a great book, especially an old one which is still relevant a century or more later. In the case of "Wuthering Heights", you get everything he's talking about in terms of emotions: passion, fear, angst, shock, anger, love, hate, revenge and so much more. The way Emily Brontë gets you into the book, the structure of the book is incredible, making the reader part of the story, placing you as the first character who is not part of the story, but who's trying to know what's all about is just brilliant, also maybe a bit confusing at the very begining, but once you're in, you just cannot get out of it and want to know more. I just loved reading "Wuthering Heights" and it's my favourite novel allthough it took me a while getting into this passionnate and harsh story with raw feelings. So Mace, keep on doing your reaction videos the way you feel, I found it very interesting and much more personal than most of other people's reaction videos. Kate Bush did a great job adapting this complicated story into song form and you did too telling us the way you feel about it. Quite clever. And read "Wuthering Heights"; don't bother of it's relative difficulty at first, if you like reading, you won't be disapointed, I promise! The amount of cinema or tv adaptations that happened later prove it's a masterpiece as none ever really captured the strenght of it, but Kate Bush definitely did as when you read the book you can't help seeing her as Cathy.

Kate bush um ícone vivo, porque não volta vom tudo

You are probably the only one reacting to this song that knew she was acting the part of a ghost come to haunt her lover, and that the dress, stage, facial expressions and movement are all in character with the ghost of Cathy.

The verse uses all major chords making it hard to settle on a key centre. This imbues a floaty, ethereal vibe which fits perfectly with the theme of the lyrics. It's a 'lightening in a bottle' song.

So true And super soulful

Kate Bush’s music, particularly The Dreaming and The 9th Wave from her Hounds Of Love album, has been such a huge part of my life. I enjoyed watching your reaction to this wonderful song. If you ever do another Kate Bush video please consider listening to the song ‘Aerial’ which is also the name of the album. That album is probably her most mature album and there’s a 45 second part in the track where Kate’s laughing in response to a bird singing which probably seems terrible, but I promise, only Kate could turn laughing with a bird and it’s song into a masterpiece.

Good!

One of the not so many reacionist who know that this song is based on literature - props

Great review. You are very perceptive.

you should listen to Kate Bush duet with Peter Gabriel on his song "don't give up"

The final guitar solo is wonderful I agree; this video is actually a shortened version of it and it's worth listening to the whole thing in my opinion.

July 30: Happy 63rd birthday to Kate today, which who knew, she shares with Emily's 203rd birthday today.

As a suggestion for a next listen...I'd try Kate Bush - Moments of Pleasure

I wonder what the harpsichord-sounding instrument was. It doesn't sound exactly like a harpsichord. It's so lovely and suits this song perfectly.

Love it

one of the best outro... just like Layla....

The guitar solo is definetly overtaken by the swelling of the strings, but i think it's perfect.

Kate Bush is phenomenal

Moments of Pleasure. 1978...... Torn between Kate and AC\DC.

Shame you stopped the journey with Kate here. If you are still active then I think you would enjoy two songs of hers that you haven't reacted to. This woman's work and Moments of pleasure. Thanks for the videos anyway.

Dear Mace please react to "Wow" music from kate bush

Idk if anyone else has said this in the comments, but she was discovered by David Gilmour(pink Floyd's guitarist). She wrote this at age 16. Some relative of hers knew Gilmour and gave him a tape of her music. This song was the one that caught Gilmour's attention. It's Gilmour playing the solo at the end.

Try Nocturne by Kate another masterpiece especially with the video

Pls, check out the internationally celebrated annual event: The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever. Kate Bush fans gather across the world to recreate her ‘Wuthering Heights’ video in celebration of the song. Participants dressed in red to re-create the music video for Kate Bush’s 1978 chart-topper hit.

Please do Kate Bush - Babushka it's amazing x

Cathy is a ghost and Heathcliff is her great love...

Great version is by band Liv Moon.

This is not a song this is art.

Great reaction (but it's a shame the video shortened the ending guitar solo!!!). I'd suggest doing the video for "Love and Anger," which features David Gilmour (who discovered her) playing guitar. Kate's popularity has never waned (her 2014 concert series of 22 shows sold out over 100,000 tickets in less than 15 minuets - a record for the Hammersmith Apollo - and became the first woman to have 8 of her albums in the Top 40 at the same time, 3rd artist behind only Elvis and the Beatles). Strongly suggest that you explore some of her later work, especially her 2005 masterpiece album "Aerial."

Kate Bush was also the first UK female artist to have a self penned no.1. She was 16!

Nice parallel to Aurora 🙂

The chorus sounds like Mandy by Barry Manilow

Look up the wedding list... very cool

It's a little hard to understand the music video without read or watch the movie. But it was a nice reaction.

Read the book. Chapter 1 will tell you all you need to know.

Hello there!

❤❤❤❤

Yo pal! First time checking out your site. Gotta tell ya. I like watching straight guy's reactions to this song. During the time it came out, it wasn't released in the United States and I kinda wonder if marketers and VJ's/DJ's knew that straight guys wouldn't tolerate the 'weird' of it. Much like Joni Mitchell. But just to say, and this is fact, this girl did vocals for Pink Floyd AND wrote this when she was just 16 years old, not to mention 'The Man with the Child in his Eyes', which is just too much. Now. What 16 year old girl living today can top the song writing and vocal skills of this girl? None. Zilch. Nothing. You can take your- whomever pop goddess there is currently and- whatever. Anyways. A suggest listen for you from the UK that I think is really worth your ear and your response is a song entitled 'Avalon', by Roxy Music. And the video? Pure artistry. Directed by Ridley Scott before Blade Runner. I doubt there was ever a better video made to enhance such a melody and lyrics. Haunting. I think you and your viewers will agree it's a real pleasure to discover. Oh. And keep up the good work/selections Mace.

@@MaceAroundTheWorld Hello Mace. I wasn't expecting your response. Wow. And thanks. You might want to check out: just found it, this rocker dude's cover of Wuthering Heights. I wouldn't expect a guy to attempt it given the vocal range/gymnastics required and the protagonist being female, but he doesn't give a shit about that and just attacks the vocals and lyrics with a ferocity and kills it. Interesting context here. He takes a female narration, referring to himself as Kathy, and voices an angry insistence/demand for the return of Heathcliff's love, contrary to Kate Bush's etherial vocals, yearning/begging for Heathcliff. Both of them are spectres, escaping the other world and choosing to haunt the nights, the moors of Wuthering Heights in search for Heathcliff to acquire his soul. Only then will their souls be at peace, relieved of the misery of their spectral selves. The guy's name is Dan Vasc/Angra cover and can be found on KZread. I have to speculate Mace. Had you featured both versions in your format: initially Kate Bush's original, followed by Dan's cover from a male's perspective, could have made interesting viewing to followers, but a bit much? It's all love. None the less, I envision you kinda jumping out of your chair upon first hearing this guy's vocals, then looking kinda perplexed contemplating the 'weird' of the fore mentioned his taking upon the identity of Kathy. Confused? Listen Mace. 'Wuthering Heights' was one of three novels that was required reading in my grade eleven english class when I was of fifteen years old. Back in the day when required reading meant 'essay'. Groan. And me only thinks it's a shame that this classic: it's called literature, has been dropped from today's school curriculum. It's content is just too h a rrrrd for today's youngsters to comprehend, much less put words to and pass the grade. GIve 'em comic books and super heroes who resolve any dilemma with violence. Sorry to ramble but hope you give it a listen. Thanks again.

there is a movie and tv movie

12:35 Yes, I agree that the solo is buried but I don't think it would've work if it was more prominent. It would've disrupted the flow and feel of the song. When performed live with Kate, the solo is up front which works great: kzread.info/dash/bejne/p4aFrsF7ZJSopZM.html

Such a shame how the guitarsolo was drastically cut short for the video.

I notice in your reactions you spend more time talking about irrelevant things to the song longer than the song itself. And then talk in different pauses for a long time just for the sake of talking about things not related to the song. In the places that you give long-winded reactions I just move the video forward until the song comes back on I'm thinking your strategy is to avoid being blocked and ensuring your algorithm staying ahead in the search.
