Zitate Kate Bush
„There is magic within
There is magic without
Follow me and you'll learn
Just what life's all about.“
Song lyrics, Singles and rarities
Kontext: When the fantasy bells
Of the universe ring
You can fly through the sky
On a dragonfly's wing.
There is magic within
There is magic without
Follow me and you'll learn
Just what life's all about.
„On top of the world,
Looking over the edge,
You could see them coming.“
Song lyrics, Hounds of Love (1985)
Kontext: On top of the world,
Looking over the edge,
You could see them coming.
You looked too small
In their big, black car,
To be a threat to the men in power.
„All we ever look for — a god.
All we ever look for — ooh, a drug.
All we ever look for — a great big hug.“
Song lyrics, Never for Ever (1980)
Kontext: All we ever look for — a god.
All we ever look for — ooh, a drug.
All we ever look for — a great big hug.
All we ever look for — a little bit of you.
All we ever look for — a little bit of you, too.
All we ever look for,
But we never do score.
„I want to be in a position where I can function as a human being. Even more so now where you've got this sort of truly silly preoccupation with celebrities. Just because somebody's been in an ad on TV, so what? Who gives a toss?“
MOJO interview (2005)
Kontext: For the last 12 years, I've felt really privileged to be living such a normal life. It's so a part of who I am. It's so important to me to do the washing, do the Hoovering. Friends of mine in the business don't know how dishwashers work. For me, that's frightening. I want to be in a position where I can function as a human being. Even more so now where you've got this sort of truly silly preoccupation with celebrities. Just because somebody's been in an ad on TV, so what? Who gives a toss?
„Only tragedy allows the release
Of love and grief never normally seen.“
Song lyrics, The Dreaming (1982)
Kontext: Only tragedy allows the release
Of love and grief never normally seen.
I didn't want to let them see me weep,
I didn't want to let them see me weak,
But I know I have shown
That I stand at the gates alone.
„The great thing about art on any level is that it can speak to all people if it’s achieved properly.“
As quoted in "In conversation with Kate Bush" by Elio Iannacci in MacLeans (28 November 2016)
Kontext: The great thing about art on any level is that it can speak to all people if it’s achieved properly. When I’ve heard a piece of music or seen a painting that moves me, it gives me something. That’s such an incredibly special experience. I have intentions as a writer, but people — when they’re listening to a track — will take from it what they interpret. Sometimes people mishear my lyrics and think a song’s about something it isn’t. That doesn’t matter. If it speaks to them and they get something positive from it, it’s great.
„I'm really very happy if people can connect at all to anything I do. I don't really mind if people mishear lyrics or misunderstand what the story is. I think that's what you have to let go of when you send it out in the world.“
As quoted in "Kate Bush Speaks" by Owen Myers in Fader (23 November 2016)
Kontext: I'm really very happy if people can connect at all to anything I do. I don't really mind if people mishear lyrics or misunderstand what the story is. I think that's what you have to let go of when you send it out in the world. I'm sure with a lot of paintings, people don't understand what the painter originally meant, and I don't really think that matters. I just think if you feel something, that's really the ideal goal. If that happens, then I'm really happy.
„In Malta, catch a swallow,
For all of the guilty — to set them free.
Wings fill the window,
And they beat and bleed.“
Song lyrics, The Dreaming (1982)
Kontext: In Malta, catch a swallow,
For all of the guilty — to set them free.
Wings fill the window,
And they beat and bleed.
They hold the sky on the other side
Of borderlines.
„The civilised keep alive
The territorial war…“
Song lyrics, The Dreaming (1982)
Kontext: The civilised keep alive
The territorial war…
Erase the race that claim the place
And say we dig for ore,
Or dangle devils in a bottle
And push them from the pull of the Bush.
„I need deeper understanding.
Give me deeper understanding…“
Song lyrics, The Sensual World (1989)
Kontext: I turn to my computer like a friend.
I need deeper understanding.
Give me deeper understanding…
„Not until I'm ready for you,
Not until I'm ready for you
Can I have it all.“
Song lyrics, The Dreaming (1982)
Kontext: I don't know why I'm crying.
Am I suspended in Gaffa?
Not until I'm ready for you,
Not until I'm ready for you
Can I have it all.
„I don't know if I'm closer to Heaven but
It looks like Hell down there.“
Song lyrics, The Red Shoes (1993)
Kontext: I don't know if I'm closer to Heaven but
It looks like Hell down there.
These streets have never been paved with gold.
„I won't open boxes
That I am told not to.
I'm not a Pandora.
I'm much more like
That girl in the mirror.“
Song lyrics, The Dreaming (1982)
Kontext: I won't open boxes
That I am told not to.
I'm not a Pandora.
I'm much more like
That girl in the mirror.
Between you and me
She don't stand a chance of getting anywhere at all.
„Oh, I'm just trying to explain,
I'm a disbelieving angel.“
Song lyrics, Singles and rarities
Kontext: I feel so sorry for you,
Believing because they control.
And of all the guardian angels
They chose me to save your soul!
Oh, I'm just trying to explain,
I'm a disbelieving angel.

„Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?“
Song lyrics, Hounds of Love (1985)
Kontext: Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?
You, it's you and me.
It's you and me won't be unhappy.
„There's something moving
Under, under the ice,
Moving under ice,
Through water,
Trying to get out of the cold water.
"It's me."“
Something, someone — help them.
"It's me."
Song lyrics, Hounds of Love (1985), The Ninth Wave

Song lyrics, The Red Shoes (1993)

It can really hurt
These moments given
Are a gift from time.Just let us try
To give these moments back
To those we love
To those who will survive…</p
