    I'm a 65 year old retired pipe-fitter, from flyover Missouri, and I don't think, since stumbling on to her a couple years ago, any single musical artist has ever, EVER moved me so profoundly. At the risk of what? rank emotionalism, the feeling she stirs up in me border on the religious. I thank God I found her.

    I am a 63 year old Brit, living in Brussels. I was in love with Kate from the beginning but it was Hounds of Love that it went into overdrive. She has been with me all my life and I thank god for that. I was fortunate to see her in concert in London when she played the Hammersmith Apollo and that was a beautiful and almost religious experience that I will never forget. I am really happy that you found her.

    @@pauli2169 Paul, Sir...thank you for your warm sentiment. Since around 2016, and due to the wonders of U-tube, I've become a bit of an Anglophile. Perhaps that's why the Algorithm steered me to Kate. If it did, then God bless its technological, little black-heart. Always was a fan of everything British from Shakespeare to Beckett to Pinter to Peter O'Toole to Elvis Costello and all points fore and aft; but Ms. Bush sealed the deal. Very lucky you are indeed, to have seen her live. I once wrote in a comment to one of her videos that: "I hope to see her in Heaven. I think that I shall...I will." Cheers mate!

So, it all came out at once as a jumble of syllables. Kate looked at her manager as if to say, "Why have you brought me here?" Kate is still the most talented, yet under exposed female vocalist and visual performer in the entertainment industry, IMHO.

But superlatives cannot rightly be applied to the word "unique" because it means that something, or somebody, is "one-of-a-kind" or is a "one-off" (from the Latin "unus" meaning "one"). Being unique is an absolute state and so cannot be qualified or compared any more than, for example, the word "perfect". It would be nonsense to talk about different degrees of perfection since something is either perfect or it is not perfect; there cannot be comparisons or superlatives without losing the essential meaning of the word.

    Kate is the GOAT!!! I had the astronomically good luck to watch Kate Bush on her Tour of Life in Duisburg, Germany, in summer, 1979 (she was supposed to play in Cologne but changed venues iat the last moment). Too brilliant for words!!! By then I had known Kick Inside and Lionheart by heart, but the live versions were even better than the songs on vinyl, and Kate looked even more beautiful and radiant live than in all her truly stellar photos... Her voice!!! Better than on vinyl, as were the intricate instrumental arrangements!!! Not to mention the costume and stage setting changes, the choreography and the lights!!! She played ALL the songs on Kick Inside and Lionheart (save Oh, to be in Love) plus Violin and (I'm in Love with) Egypt from her upcoming third album, Never Forever... In her own words AMAZING, and one of my most beatiful and treseured memories - a magical evening of poignant and breathtaking enchantment!!!!!

    Me and my mate were on a school trip to london in about 1977 or 78..we were about 15 ..and we sneaked off to look at Abbey rd studios and walk across the zebra crossing, which back then very few people did..we knocked on the front door of Abbey rd studios and a little old chap let us in..we wandered around the entrance hall for a bit til someone said come and have a look in here..so we followed in the control room of studio 2..we could look down into the half lit studio sound floor and just about make out someone at the mike..we were told it was a new young singer called Kate Bush..I could only just see her..I remember me and my mate were so disappointed it wasnt someone famous like a Beatle.!!.never forget us walking away feeling glum that we hadn't seen an icon at the mike..can you imagine now, years later what we would give to be back there and appreciating the legendary Kate..she must have been recording her first or second album and our school kid naivety just not understanding the moment. What a great artist she is!..how shallow me and my mate were!

Willhelm Reich is mostly known for other work and not "rainmaking". Kate is the best. She amazes me, she is beautiful and more sensual than any artist. Cloudbusting makes my eyes water everytime. Reich was an underground genius who invented things that were too advanced and that's the reason they came for him. I loved the video too, I think it is perfect for the song. So much love, sadness and joy.

One evening they were showing Kate Bush Live at Hammersmith Odeon. I was mesmerized, but tuned in at the wrong time to catch who it was I was watching.

    I'll never forget the first time I heard her voice when I walked into a record store. I had to have this music! Wish I could have seen her in person.... Enya, too. Folk across the pond have an advantage.

    I am 57 year old, and Kate come in my life very early - and is there still. My life has (and are) not been easy, but Kate has been able to - trough her songs - express what I feel, even when I myself could not. She is one of a kind! ♥

    There is a significant Captain Beefheart influence in her early work which is never really recognised. Her performance as well as music. One genius influenced by another.

    'I've pulled down the lace and the chintz Oh do you know, you have the face of a genius? I'll send your love to Zeus, Ooh by the time you read this I'll be well in touch.' Beautiful and haunting lyrics. I was an angry council estate kid raging against the establishment and fully charged up in the punk rock movement. I was round at Stoner Dave's flat when I first heard The Kick Inside and I got it. I still remember feeling the hair on my neck tingling. That's when I introduced myself to Greek classical literature and the teachings of Jung. I wanted to see the world as she saw it. Even today that song makes me shiver.

    I would compare Bush with Mozart. This woman wrote, “ The Man With the Child in his Eyes,” at 13. She is a genius.

    Kate is a true artist. When i listen to her work, i wonder what happened to creativity today. She is by far - an outstanding genius. Thank you.

    Thank you for this wonderful documentary!!! I love Kate Bush since the end of the 70th, when I was just a child. My mother had her first album and so I discovered Kate Bush right when she came out with her first record.
