An absolute MUST for all bush fans a short explanation of the ideas behind her lyrics written by David Mitchell and the beautiful lyrics themselves. I bought this in the wonderful Mr B‘s book emporium in beautiful bath. I love Kate bush but I bought it because of the sudden death of a dear friend and her love of this woman‘s work which will now always make my heart ache so beautiful and Il always miss her 💔

I‘m running up that hill and straight to my bookshelf for this round-up of the books that inspired some of my favorite Kate Bush songs! 💃📚⚡️

View the list here: https://bookshop.org/lists/9-books-that-inspired-the-music-of-kate-bush

rockpools Ooh, nice list. I didn‘t know the cloudbusting one. Look @TrishB ! The world (or Litsy at least) is obviously telling me to dig out some Kate Bush (which may be difficult. Most of what I have was on cassette tape 😬). I draw the line actually reading Ulysses though. 2y
underground_bks @rockpools that‘s where I draw the line too! 😂 2y
Palimpsest Loved seeing this on your Instagram today. 2y

#bookmail!!! New in, a collection by one of my absolute favourite singers (and poets and dancers and artists) ever. And one of the very few unempeachably good ones from the so very shallow sugar-pop 1980s. Intro by David Mitchell. 👯‍♀️💃👯‍♀️

Texreader Kate Bush is one of the few artists I simply cannot listen to so I had to laugh at your post. My husband loves her. 5y
tournevis @Texreader To each their own! 😂 5y

Some of hubby‘s Kate books - the tagged one is a new one apparently arriving today!
She‘s amazing - we were lucky enough to get tickets for Before the Dawn live show - I can‘t even begin to describe how brilliant it was.

Balibee146 👍Nostalgia! I owned all of these and a few others plus I got Homeground magazine regularly through the 80s....gave them all away to my brother in law who still collects everything KB. I still love her but love minimalism a wee bit more.... Just found some of the original singles I had and I know there's more vinyl stashed in a family attic ❤️❤️ 5y
TrishB @Balibee146 there is no minimalism in this house! 5y
TrishB @TheWintergarden hubby also saw her first tour - first and last night! 5y
TheWintergarden What an amazing experience. I had all her music. Now Spotify is spoiling me. So nostalgic too💜💖💜 5y

laurieluna Love Kate Bush! Shall figure out a post for this. 🤔 5y
Velvetfur Oohh I love Kate Bush, this is a fine collection in this pic 😊 5y
andrew61 Very jealous that you managed to see her live. For men of a certain age she is a godess. Even her voice on peter gabriels 'dont give up ' leaves me a blubbing wreck. 😂 5y
TrishB @andrew61 hubby is one of those men 😂 5y
elizabethlk I am a diehard Kate Bush fan and I am so insanely jealous you got to attend a show. Her music changed how I think about music. 5y
TrishB @elizabethlk it was an honour and I cried through most of it - so emotional. She is a one off. 5y
Balibee146 @TrishB lol.... I have loads of books, dresses and animals but pared down the rest of my sh!t years ago.... Each to their own but I'm so much happier without my dragon's hoard 😂😂😘 5y
TrishB @Balibee146 sometimes it would be nice for it all to be contained elsewhere!! 5y
Balibee146 @TrishB hermetically sealed so no dusting required 😂😂 5y
TrishB @Balibee146 now you‘re talking 😂 5y
