starts out very slow and electronic, very Peter Gabriel musically... then its gets more intense, kinda reminds me of a slower version of The Big Sky towards the end. It has a bit of a Rocket Man vibe to it.. very hard to describe, actually, LOL. Her vocals sound wonderful!!!

That electronic loop in the beginning has a kind of japanese feel to it and the drum break reminded me of the drums break in Talk Talks song "The Rainbow" from Spirit of Eden.
Have listened to it over 10 times now and I really like it.

Ok, for those who have a chance to hear it...

click here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radi...dio2.shtml

then scroll until you get to Ken Bruce, click WED, then wait til page loads and hit the 15mins>> button twice, then the 5mins>> button once. You should hear some Roxy Music, then Kate comes on a couple of minutes later. smile

King Of The Mountain – Kate Bush

Could you see the eye of the weather
Could you see the screaming and waving

Could you see the storm rising
Could you see the guy that was driving

Could you climb higher and higher
Could you climb right over the top

Why does a multi-millionaire
Fill up his home with priceless junk

The wind is whistling
The wind is whistling through the house

Elvis are you out there somewhere
Looking like a happy man
In the snow with rosebud
And king of the mountain

Another Hollywood actress
Is telling us she's having a baby
And there’s a rumour that you're on ice
And you will rise again some day

And maybe there's a photograph
Where they're dancing on your grave

The wind is whistling
The wind is whistling through the house

The wind is whistling
The wind is whistling through the house

Elvis are you out there somewhere
Looking like a happy man
In the snow with rosebud
And king of the mountain

Elvis are you out there somewhere
Looking like a happy man
In the snow with rosebud
And king of the mountain, now

Ohh, Ohh, Ohhhhh

The wind it blows
The wind it blows the door closed

The wind is whistling
The wind is whistling through the house

They seem to be the most accurate lyrics.

But is it actress? Sounds more like waitress to me.

Okay.

Impressive.
Get under your skin.
Need to play it on repeat.
Again and again.

I have been in an Ansel Adams mood.
This song fits these pictures.
