in 1978 with the release of her debut single, "Wuthering Heights," and the subsequent album The Kick Inside, when she was just 19. From the start, Bush's music was ambitious and strange, and her mélange of art rock, pop hooks, theatrical twists, fantastical vocal performances, and complex musicianship resulted in hits. RoW Pre-order here.Throughout the entirety of a one-of-a-kind creative journey, Kate Bush has achieved the rare feat of making innovative, fearlessly experimental work that's also wildly successful. THE OTHER SIDES RELEASED 8th MARCH in UK & Europe, and 22nd MARCH RoW It was such a characterful desk that would’ve looked right at home in any vintage aircraft.Īlthough it was a tough shoot it was a lot of fun and everyone worked so hard for such long hours. It was the desk the Beatles had used - me too, when we’d made the album Never For Ever in Studio Two.
We had to create a recording studio for the video, so tape machines and outboard gear were recruited from my recording studio and the mixing console was very kindly lent to us by Abbey Rd Studios. I can imagine that some of those glamorous rooms have uninvited soldiers and nurses dropping by for a cup of tea and a Hobnob. Not long after our work there it was converted into luxury apartments. It was a strange and eerie feeling bringing parts of the hospital to life again.
The video was an intense project and not a comfortable shoot, as you can imagine - a giant of a building, damp and full of shadows with no lighting or heating but it was like a dream to work with such a talented crew and cast with Dawn French, Hugh Laurie, Peter Vaughn and Richard Vernon in the starring roles. Not something she is well known for but she actually had a huge impact on hospital design that was pioneering and changed the way hospitals were designed from then on. Florence Nightingale had been involved in the design of the hospital. It was a huge, labyrinthine hospital with incredibly long corridors, which was one reason for choosing it. I chose to film it in a very handsome old military hospital that was derelict at the time. I was excited at the opportunity of directing the video and not having to appear in it other than in a minor role, especially as this song told a story that could be challenging to tell visually. This was written as an extra track for the compilation album The Whole Story and was released as the single.
