The self-written song that launched her amazing and unparalleled career at the age of 19 (No.1 for four weeks in the UK in 1978). Most of her early songs were sung in a high register but that was a particularly affected vocal because she was portraying a ghost. Stick with Kate and you will be in for a very rewarding journey.

This was the best reaction ever! Usually the reactions to this song is mostly people being confused and not sure what to think, but you loved it immediately! This song is based on the book Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. This is my favorite song ever, it's just a masterpiece, but so is all her songs. She's just a genius.

your reaction was also mine back in 1978, i believe, when i heard this for the first time. And now in 2022 i am still the biggest admirer of her music. She has an extraordinary discography, you should look that up. you will be amazed.

A few interesting facts about Kate, she started writing song when she was around 11. Indeed a song that she wrote when she was 13 won an Ivor Novell award for outstanding British Lyric. Actually she become a fellow of Ivors Academy in 2020 joining a distinguished list of other songwriter greats. Dave Gilmour received a demo tape of 50 of her songs from a mutual friend of Gimour and the Bush family, Gilmour was so impressed that he paid for studio time so Kate could produce a more professional demo tape which had three tracks. Via Gilmour this demo tape made its way to EMI who signed her. Wuthering Heights was Kate's debut single release, but originally EMI wanted to release what they thought was a more commercial like track called "James and the Cold Gun" but Kate resisted and insisted that the first single should be Wuthering Heights, in the end EMI agreed to her wishes because they thought that the record would flop and it would teach her lesson... well it became smash hit not just in UK, but it either reached number 1 or ended up high in the charts in other countries around the world. The single has led to an annual event called "The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever" held in locations around the world where participants gather together to recreate the music video of the song, usually following the version 2 video so wearing red dresses. I've followed Kate from the start and felt a connection to her, since she came from the same part of London that I did, she lived only a couple of miles away. I can guarantee that you won't be disappointed if you go down the Kate Bush rabbit hole! She is multi-talented (songwriter, musician, dancer, record producer and video director, etc.) and has acted as an inspiration for so many artists who followed her.

kate bush is the ultimate enigma.....a national treasure

Kate was the first UK female artist to have a number 1 hit with a self written song and it was her debut single. Inspired by the 1967 film of the classic 1847 gothic romance novel 'Wuthering Heights'. The song is written from the perspective of the ghost of the story's tragic heroine, who is haunting her love, Heathcliff. Kate's white dress and ethereal dance evoking the spectre of the central character of Catherine Earnshaw. Many of Kate's songs are inspired by film and literature, and like an actor, she takes on a unique point of view of a vast array of unusual and quirky characters, which she empathizes with and inhabits without judgement. Check out 'This woman's work' from the view of a father expecting his first child. Or 'Mother stands for comfort' from the perspective of a murderer who knows his mother will shield him.

You can't go wrong with Kate Bush she's amazing

She was 18 when she recorded this in the first ONE continuous take! Every note perfect! No auto tune, no rehearsal. She sang it once only for the recording. And she wrote it when she was even younger. Kate Bush is a prodigy. I remember when it came out. There was nothing like it, and there had never been, and never has been since then. BTW The ghost of Kathy here is supposed to be desperate and scary, trying to break through the window to reach Heathcliff.

I must have been around 16 years old when i turned on the telly that afternoon in ‘78, and this fairy looking creature appeared - I was into Sex Pistols and Eddie and The Hot Rods - and I was mesmerised. That voice, this dance, that song - Kate Bush never left me, still bringing goosebumbs and tears.

This song is referring to the book with the same title, written by Emily Bronte. Catherine has died and since she loved Heathcliff, she comes to haunt him at his window. She says “Heathcliff, it’s me, I’m Cathy, I’ve come home, I’m so cold, let me in your window”… The clip is filmed with a hazy effect to reflect the story.

I'm pretty sure it's a completely unrelated guy who, when closing the window of his bedroom at the inn where he's staying (first chapter), feels icy cold bony fingers brushing against his hand .. and endeavours to learn more about this ghost called Cathy ... hence the story of Wuthering Heights.

You don´t go wrong with Kate, she is just amazing. Huge respect for her! Thumb up right away!

You are standing on the brink of a very deep and amazing rabbit hole. Do not think twice about jumping. Coming from someone in the US I can't believe you have never even heard her name. But I am somewhat envious of all the wonderful first time listens you have ahead of you. I will warn you that some of her songs are more approachable than others to someone not familiar with Kate. Just sit back and enjoy.

I was 15 visiting Carnaby street in London in the 80's and this song came up on the speakers in a shop and I started crying because it was so beautiful, lmao. Since then I've read the book about not so pleasant Kathy and Heathcliff😘 You should absolutely watch more from her. Hugs from Sweden.

there's something wrong with education these days when a british person has never heard of kate bush or wuthering heights..

Kate Bush is a musical genius. She is unique and incomparable. You should listen to more of her work - really! Tis one was only her debut.

I am an absolute Kate Bush Fan. She is an amazing artist. She has a large catalogue of music. Please check out her 'Running Up the Hill' video and 'Hounds of Love'. This song and Kate Bush are not your normal mainstream music. She has inspired so many people. She writes, produces, directs, and choreographs her own music. Keep researching her music, it is amazing. She is one of the most talented UK artists in the music industry.

Your reaction is similar to the whole UK when we first saw Kate singing this on top of the pops some 35 plus years ago,the press went crazy trying to find out who she was and why was she singing about the book 'wuthering heights'',gorgeous song and Kate became one of the most influential female artists ever.

This is how I felt when I first heard this song as a teenager. I have been obsessed with Kate Bush's music ever since. So glad Wuthering Heights was my introduction to her catalog.

I love your reaction! The look on your face is priceless! Welcome to Kate Bush fandom! Thank you for being open minded and learning about Kate Bush! :-)

Kate somehow managed to bring Full Crazy into the charts. Pretty damn impressive.

Kate Bush is a genius. No one like her. Great review.

Kate Bush has been quoted as an inspiration by many music artists, especially women. Not just for her music but the way she managed to keep control of her work and refusal to be exploited by the music industry. She was a real trail blazer for other women in this regard and set up her own publishing and management companies to maintain control of her work and not get exploited. She looks like this timid, fragile, elfin beauty, but she was fiercely independent and assertive about her music from the start. For instance when this came out in 1978 she was just 19 and her record label didn't view it as a single and chose another song. She insisted that they release this and it went straight to number one both in the UK and Australia. Her debut album was also a huge hit and contained songs she'd written as young as 13. She was the first British woman to get a No.1 with a self written song. As well as writing her own songs, she plays piano on them, does her own choreography, set design, costume design, mime, etc.

So good that there’s an annual “A Very Wuthering Heights Day”, right across the globe. People get dressed up like Kate (see the video in the red dress) and do the dance to Wuthering Heights. It’s freaking fantastic!

The Whole story is her classic greatest hits album, so many songs that sound like no other. Kate Bush is the Queen of alternative music. Other songs to check out are Babooshka, The man with the child in his eyes, Running up that hill, Cloudbusting....so many wonderful songs.

You've never heard Kate Bush? She is the greatest British singer of all time. This is from 1978. You have much to learn and some wonderful songs- Running Up That Hill, Sat in Your Lap, The Ninth Wave, The Red Shoes, The Big Sky, Cloudbusting, and on and on. Next- do a video looking at Diana Ankudinova, singing either Wicked Game or Can't Help Falling in Love!

It was the guitar solo at the end of this song that convinced me that I wanted to play the guitar. I still sing and play guitar, and for years was the front man and lead guitarist of a fairly successful heavy metal band. Thanks, Kate!

What I have never heard comment of beyond Kate Bush's extraordinary out-of-box musical compositions and vocals is her Dancing! Does she choreograph her own dancing in her videos? Her dancing is utterly unique with traditional twists. And then, she couples this with her musical compositions and vocals.

When I first discovered Kate it was like finding out that magic is real. I still get that same feeling every time I listen to her. There is simply no one else. A true genius and artist.

The Faerie Goddess! No one comes close to Kate Bush.

I love watching Kate bush reactions and this has to be one of the loveliest I've seen. Just the pure suprise at how beautiful it is at 2.14 is so amazing to watch!

Kate Bush is a British icon and now a fully fledged inductee of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio and deservedly so. She had written her first ever album by age 14. David Gilmour of Pink Floyd was a friend of her brother's and was instrumental in helping her get her first recording contract. Midge Ure describes her as being like this incredibly sweet little girl who doesn't really believe that she's as good as everyone says she is. Sir Elton John is another one of her biggest fans.

"Crazy in a beautiful way" describes Kate Bush pretty well. She wrote this song when she was a teenager (can't remember her exact age... somewhere between 17 and 19. If you've read the book "Wuthering Heights," the lyrics make sense. Kate Bush is kind of her own genre... if I had to out a label on it, I'd call it art rock. This is her first hit and still my favorite. This video is a shortened version of the song... the ending goes on for a few minutes in the ful-length version. Other songs to check out by Kate Bush include "Running Up That Hill," (probably her biggest hit) and an off-beat gem that was an alternative rock radio hit in the early 1990s titled "Eat the Music." Loved your reaction!

You know, I've known this song for decades (litterally...), and listened to it many many times. And the moment I heard the intro, I began to feel tears in my eyes, while smiling at the same time... That's how powerful this song is ^^ ! I've never seen your previous reaction videos, so I'm not familiar with the kind of artists/genres you use to react to, but if you want to keep being surprised (and mesmerized, too), stay with Kate Bush for a while ("This woman's work", "Babooshka", "Hounds of love", "Suspended in gaffa", & so many more...), you won't be disappointed :) ! And try some Bowie, while you're at it : I'm so impatient to see you react to "Blackstar" ^^ ! Have a nice day !

Kate Bush is bananas, in all the best ways. Who the hell else gets a massive hit in the 80s, singing as a character from a novel from the 1840s

If you want to look at something really rare from Kate Bush, try to find "The Man With The Child In His Eyes" live from the USA Television show, Saturday Night Live. It's different. Paul Schaefer plays piano on it and Kate sits on the piano throughout, doing her mime/ballet moves while seated--particularly her eyes. Loved your reaction! I was speechless the first time I heard Kate, as well!

Emily Bronte's majestic Novel Wuthering Heights was summed up perfectly in 4 minutes of mind altering soaring vocals.

Catherine Bush CBE (born 30 July 1958) is an English singer, songwriter, musician, dancer and record producer. In 1978, aged 19, she topped the UK Singles Chart for four weeks with her debut single "Wuthering Heights", becoming the first female artist to achieve a UK number one with a self-written song. Bush has since released 25 UK Top 40 singles, including the Top 10 hits "The Man with the Child in His Eyes", "Babooshka", "Running Up That Hill", "Don't Give Up" (a duet with Peter Gabriel) and "King of the Mountain". All ten of her studio albums reached the UK Top 10, including the UK number one albums Never for Ever (1980), Hounds of Love (1985) and the compilation The Whole Story (1986). She was the first British solo female artist to top the UK album charts and the first female artist to enter the album chart at number one. wikipedia.org

and I am pretty sure that is David Gilmour on the guitar at the end.

I always thought of her as a unique form of British opera. Look into her life, a real Renaissance Woman from a very early age.

I still remember the first time I heard this on the radio when it was released .. I couldn't breathe .. I didn't dare breathe for fear of missing the momentous feeling of it. My knees were weak I did not understand what had hit me. You know back then there was no music videos and such .. it was only years later that I saw this video. She's a genius .. you have just been touched by a genius. So happy to see your reaction. Take care! Cheers 🍺

Again a great reaction atvyour channel🥰 she was my highschool crush back then

She’s still top of my wish list!

Kate is one of the best singer songwriters on the planet, She wrote this when she was about 13 and a whole album of demos, here she is about 18.

I believe she wrote this right before her recording session, not on the early demo release.

she wrote a ton of demos at 13, but she actually wrote this song right before she was to record it because she caught the tail end of the old TV release of Wuthering Heights and decided to start reading the book a little before and then she was inspired to write this. She hadn't even finished the book yet but she said when she was a kid she went by "Cathy" and not Kate so she felt a connection to the story on a personal level and it just brought this out of her.

The reason Kate Bush is so good, is she was heavily in to her art and wanted to express & envoke emotion through it. Something a lot of 1980s artists did and something not many modern artists do and why Adele is probably the only one doing it well.

So pleased you enjoyed this! Kate Bush is a certified genius. She’s the first female performer to have a self-penned number one hit (with this song from her debut album at the age of 19). The record execs wanted to use a different more conventional song for the single, but she, at just 19, insisted Wuthering Heights had to be it - and she was right. She’s not only an amazingly talented songwriter and singer (with a vocal range of something like 4 octaves), but also arranger, producer, dancer, and more. She goes on to produce all her own records, with full artistic control, as well as writing and directing her own music videos. Must listen tracks include Running Up That Hill, This Woman’s Work, The Man With a Child in His Eyes, Cloudbusting, Moments of Pleasure…. He’ll, pick any Kate Bush song and you can’t go wrong. She’s hard to define, with a wide range of styles, but is unparalleled and a huge influence on female artists who followed.
