Correct.

She sings like that because she's playing Cathy, as a ghost, reaching through the window to Heathcliffe asleep in his room. She's also a dancer and choreographs all her songs to enhance them, it's a full art performance.

Kate plays a Ghost in this video, that explains the way she is dancing, this is a Genius at work. I think you reviewed her song Cloudbusting, which is also based on a book, Tori is a big fan of hers.

Many years ago, I was awakened on a Saturday morning by my radio alarm, playing Cloudbusting. It was the best awakening from sleep I have ever had in my 56 years. I still remember it vividly.

Words struggle to pay tribute to this. She wrote it when she was 18. It's based on the book and film; she is playing a ghost. It's heavenly in one sense but in another sense quite dark because it's a ghostly and forlorn apparition at .... the window. Anyway, song, performance, dance and lyrics it's all amazing to watch. It's a performance like few others.

she knocked Take a Chance On Me out of the UK #1 slot! honestly though if anyone is worthy of taking the number one slot chart from ABBA, it’s Kate Bush

This was an iconic moment in the history of Uk Pop Music back in Februrary 1978. When this came out on Top of the Pops, I think everybody just went "Wow what was that?". An absolute classic track performed by one of the most talented artists ever to come out of the UK Pop/Rock Scene. Kate Bush brilliant singer, song writer, pianist and dancer...Love it.

This song is recounting the love story of Wuthering Heights, Heathcliff and Cathy.

Kate Bush is my favorite artist of all time. She is incredible! Absolutely recommend listening to her albums.

Derek, listen till the very end where she ends up on a very high note. Everything about Kate Bush is superior. Her voice, her persona, her musicianship, writing, composing, producing most of it all by herself too, there is no one else like her!

This was her debut track. Absolutely blew me away!

Kate, the emperess of music! You need 1 year to discover her world, albums that are gems!!!!

The chorus of that song is like a dream... No other words 😍😍😍

She's mesmerizing .... I love her voice !

One of my favorite artists. No one comes even close to her. This song is one of my all time favorites. I really have an old soul.

"This Woman's work" a fantastic song.

First British female artist to reach No.1 with a self written song (Wuthering Heights) and also first to have a UK no.1 album.

"Kate Bush & David Gilmour - Running Up That Hill (live)" - It's something else

This original was so unusual and so good. But she decided to record again this song many years later. For me, the second version is more dramatic... You can feel the passing-by of life (with happiness and sadness) in her voice. I think because of this prime of life, she was able to perform an extra range of vocals in order to show the nuances and the complexity of the story she delivered. The one of Kathy and Heathcliff... The characters of Wuthering Heights

No one has a voice like Kate, she is and will always be beautiful. .

Good video as always. XD You can also try her duo with Peter Gabriel "Don't give up" ^^

There’s a second version of the video,the red dress version,that was released internationally.

I was 15 when this song came out, here in Italy it made a resounding success, how many memories of youth on these notes, I get goosebumps

My sister and myself thought she was a witch when we seen this- we were 6 and 7 at the time though. I love early Kate bush especially[ Wow] and [The man with the child in his eyes].

Finally!!!! It took you a long time...a looooooooooong time to get back to Miss Bush. Kate is THE Génesis off all

Such a brilliant song and so well performed - This was the start of a phenomenal career !!

She re recorded the song years later (it was included in her 'The Whole Story' album) with added vocals mostly featured during the instrumental outro of the songs but this version is better in my opinion. Her record label EMI didn't want 'Wuthering Heights' to be the first single to precede the release of her upcoming album 'The kick Inside', they wanted 'James and the Cold Gun' which sounded more rock/upbeat. She fought hard to change their mind and won. The rest is history, the song shot to number one and her career immediately took off becoming one of the most talented artists this world has ever known. She is a genius!!

OMG, I love Kate Bush, this song is so iconic and yes it is not an easy song to sing and cover. She is amazing.

The video shows her as a ghost. She is Cathy who was in love with Heathcliff in the book and film of Wuthering Heights.

Kate Bush is like a female David Bowie, artistic to the max, versatile, consistent and always pushing the boundaries, a phenomenal songwriter and performer. And like Bowie was into almost every kind of art she also dances and acts during her song performances to make the audience experience the song not just with their ears. Did I mention that she's a genius ? Nominated for the rock and roll hall of fame twice already, a shame that she's still not in.

One of the greatest reactions of this song and noting the music score especially the end guitar work.Good Job

I bloody love Kate Bush. So influential and always doing her own thing, never chasing trends to stay relevant. She's awesome. Please do The Sensual World, Sat In Your Lap, Running Up That Hill, Cloudbusting, Experiment IV, Army Dreamers, Babooshka etc . :) Ok i did a quick search and you've already done Running Up That Hill and Cloudbusting. Awesome. :)

You have a fantastic channel, I love watching your reaction to these great songs.

she is the greatest music genius; her musical creation, her voice, her performance, absolutely magical and unique, I love Kate Bush from Chile 🇨🇱 I love you KB ever

Wuthering Heights, 1978, singing as Cathy from the Oscar winning film "Wuthering Heights" 1939 staring Lawrence Olivier. Cathy is passed over and is waiting for her lover Heathciff on a mountain pass, their favourite place "wuthering heights". Written by Emily Bronte 1849.

This is still my favorite of Kate Bush... iconic

shes a genius

A wonderful song : music, lyrics and kate's voice. But my favorite song by Kate bush Is....army dreamers.

Kate Bush never repeats herself. She does very different things. She's classically trained, which adds immensely to her quality.

This takes me back to my high school days. Kate is one of a kind . This song is so hauntingly beautiful it sometimes will give me chills. Thanks for this one.

Great! 😍 I adore this Kate Bush song, I used to dance around listening to it when I was a bit younger... OK, I confess, I still dance to it sometimes (plus kinda sing) 😉 And the story, so deep, chilling, passionate, sad. Oh my god... The masterpiece!

I REALLY ENJOYED EVERYTHING ABOUT IT!!

she is simply brilliant!

This was made when she was 19, it was her first hit in the UK. She composed the song based on her school studies of the novel and she also created the choreography for this, the dance style became more commonplace in the early 80s so for the late 70s it was still quite unknown and unique.

You did it, Dereck! Kate Busk is absolutely wonderful. Thank you Dereck! 🍀🍀🍀🍀🌠

after all these years I still love this song... it is sooooo beautiful

Oh Dereck, you're in for an amazing ride with Kate Bush

Kate Bush is playing the ghost of Cathy Earnshaw - back from another ethereal plane, to collect the soul of Heathcliffe, her long time love from childhood. Kate Bush was taught mime by 'Linsey Kemp', who also taught mime to David Bowie.

one of the best song of the century !!!

The video is stunning and so ofcourse is the song. She is a rare genius.

Dereck, Tori Amos belongs to 90´s 😉 The AMAZING Kate Bush is from early 70's ... Without, Kate Bush, no Björk 😉 Even David Bowie copies her !!

Kate was born on 1958. Tori was born on 1963. "Wuthering heights" was written in March 1977. Kate was 18 and a half years old. Amos was 14 by that time... Who's is copying who? Stop kidding me y'all

The Harmonies, The Melody, The Feelings...!?! I found this song strange and uncomfortably to hear when I was a young teenager(13-18..) although I was into music a lot !! For every time I heard it on Radio it got to me more and more.. Today..well, there are not many songs more beautiful than this one!! ...and Imagine writing and perform this song at the age of 19.. just pure Talent !! :) :)

Really, thank you so much for that reaction, Dereck. I really love that song so much. It's part of my favorite songs of all time. And Kate Bush is also a great singer with a so beautiful voice. So, thank you for that beautiful song, Dereck.

Such a coincidence - I could not bear not owning the compact disc format of THE WHOLE STORY, Kate Bush's first ever compilation released in 1986 that I ordered a used copy from Amazon (Japan) today. It has a new version of Wuthering Heights though. Despite having the LP and the digital copy, I just need to own the compact disc to complete the collection - the greatest hits album was a primer to the body of work from Kate Bush for me.

Kate Bush is a musical genius

Kate is ans has always been a British icon, she has always been very theatrical in her dancing and expression she is brilliant and still has sale out concerts.

Kate Bush, she is a great singer, songwriter, producer ... she is an incredible artist.

Fun fact about the genius that is Kate Bush. Kate was born exactly 140 years after Emily Brontë (30th July 1958 (Happy 63rd birthday Kate for this Friday) & Emily was born 30th July 1818)

An absolute music treasure!

This was actually the first vision of Kate Bush to the UK public at large. One of those songs and videos that stopped people in their tracks. The lyrics and dance interpretation of the famous novel spot on.

Dereck should react to Émilie Simon, she's often described by lazy journalists as "the french Kate Bush" while being so much more, as one of the only singer-songwriter and electronica sound designer of the current French scene. After a long hiatus (again, like Kate Bush) Émilie has been hinting at a new album on her official page.

Great song for one of my favourite books Wuthering Heights

In case you didn't know, Kate was absolutely original, and she was only 18 when she composed, wrote, and performed 'Wuthering Heights'? She was also the first British female artiste to write and perform her own No.1 record.

She is wonderful. I have loved her for years

Realised 1978, she wrote this and the whole album “kick inside” when she was 17…. True talent !!

Hands down one of the greatest pop songs ever, so catchy yet so unique! So glad you reacted to it, liked it and approved it! 😝

no one can sing this like Kate

I remember a moment when I was at a store in Carnaby street London in 1987 and this one was played and I had to leave the store because I was crying. that is how much 16 y old me loved this song. 😁 And then I read the book that the song is based on. Heathcliff and Kathy was not very pleasant ppl, but daumn the story was good. And the story made Kate Bush herself make a song about it, so it is obviously amazing.

'The sensual world' based on James Joyce's 'Ulysses' is the other book and 'Cloud busting' from 'book of dreams' by David Reich. She is a trail blazing genius!
