‘I’m nineteen, but so what? I’ve had experiences, too. A lot of my songs are about my own traumas. The best time for writing is when you’re going through a heavy time. You have an enormous amount of energy. The best way to deal with it is not to bottle it up or take it out on someone else, but to channel it into your writing.’

-Kate Bush, Record Mirror, 25 February 1978.

‘If you believe in what you do and you really want to be in music, just stick at it. It’s always a learning process. Enjoy it because I think making music is a privilege, really. In an ideal world, it should also always be fun. As much as possible, make it fun.’

-Kate Bush

‘I always feel that you can continually expand your senses if you try. The voice is like an instrument. The reason I sang the song so high is ‘cause I felt it called for it. The book has a mood of mystery and I wanted the song to reflect that.’

-Kate Bush about Wuthering Heights for NME, March 1978.

‘I guess the priority for me was always that I wanted to try to make something interesting from a musical point of view. I guess also I was really quite lucky, in a lot of ways, that I wasn’t driven by the desire to be famous. I was driven to make an album and then… and then another.’

-Kate Bush, Canadian radio CBC, 22 November 2011.

KATE BUSH // NE T’ENFUIS PAS [7″ SINGLE, 1983]

[blejangeo]

"I am a very romantic person. I don't mean romantic in a flowers and chocolates kind of way. It's more like if it's raining, I'll go up to the window and press my nose against the glass and sigh at how beautiful it all looks."

– Amy Winehouse

Big news! Kate Bush has updated her site with some new merchandise and she also changed the logo to a new one (by Timorous Besties).

But there is more, she announced that she is moving her album catalogue from Warner Music Group to The State51 Conspiracy 👀

Should we expect something new this year?

‘There is a big part of me that is very over-ambitious. It’s ridiculous! And it drags me along behind it. It’s one of my qualities that I can’t deny in my work. I guess I’m trying to prove something to myself.’

-Kate Bush, Q/HMV, mini edition, November 1990.

‘I don’t think anyone has a real sense of reality. Everything we see is how we experience it in our heads and I think along with that goes an awful lot of dreams and illusions and so I think it’s quite a real thing.’

-Kate Bush about ‘The ninth Wave’, for French tv programme ‘Rockline’, September 1985.

‘I suppose it - on lots of levels it’s, it’s very symbolic, but I guess it’s the idea of being possessed by art that I think is, um, is particularly interesting to me, and the idea of, um, once you embrace the obsession, that in a way it begins, it can, actually, take control of you.’

-Kate Bush, ‘The New Music’, 14 December 1993.

‘To actually write the songs was very difficult, and for the first time really, I went through a patch where I just couldn’t write - I didn’t know what I wanted to say. I just didn’t know what I wanted to say, everything seemed like rubbish.‘

-Kate Bush about worrying The Sensual World, her sixth album.

‘I think by what you think and how you are you attract things to you. I think if you are a negative unhappy person a lot of negative unhappy things could happen to you. I really believe in that, yeah.’

-Kate Bush, BBC Radio 1, 1979.

“What’s really wonderful I think is this is a whole new audience who, in a lot of cases, they’ve never heard of me and I love that. The thought of all these really young people hearing the song for the first time and discovering it is, well, I think it’s very special.”
