Suspended In Gaffa
"Suspended in Gaffa" is a song recorded by English art rock singer Kate Bush. It was the fourth single release from her album ''The Dreaming''. "Suspended in Gaffa" was released as a single in continental Europe and Australia, but not in the UK. The song lyrics are about seeing something one really wants (God in this case), then not being able to see or experience it ever again. The "gaffa" of the title and chorus refers to gaffer tape, the strong matte black tape used by technicians in the film and concert industries. The B-side is the original mix of " Ne t'enfuis pas", which is misspelled on the original sleeve as "Ne T'en Fui Pas", and was only released on a handful of singles in late 1982.

There Goes A Tenner
"There Goes a Tenner" is a song by the English singer Kate Bush. It was released as a single on 2 November 1982, the third to be taken from her album ''The Dreaming (album), The Dreaming''. It was released as a 7-inch single in the UK and Ireland only. Background "There Goes a Tenner" is often considered to be something of a "lost single" because when it was released, the single gained no interest from any radio stations nor did the song's video on music television programmes. Due to this lack of media interest, the single did not sell well and became Bush's first single to miss the top 75 in the UK, peaking at number 93. It was originally intended to be Bush's first twelve-inch single, but its disappointing sales performance caused plans for the 12-inch to be cancelled. The song's lyrics are about a bungled bank robbery as told by a fearful and paranoid perpetrator. As Bush stated; "It's about amateur robbers who have only done small things, and this is quite a big robbery tha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The B-side, "Un baiser d'enfant", is a French-language version of "The Infant Kiss", from Bush's album ''Never for Ever''.

"The Sensual World" is a song by the English singer Kate Bush. It was the title track and first single from her album of the same name, released in September 1989. The single entered and peaked at No. 12 on the UK Single Chart.

Experiment IV
"Experiment IV" is a song by the English singer Kate Bush. It was released as a single on 27 October 1986, in order to promote Bush's greatest hits album ''The Whole Story''. The single peaked at 23 in the UK Singles Chart, simultaneously with " Don't Give Up", Bush's duet with Peter Gabriel, which reached number 9. Overview The song tells a story about a secret military plan to create a sound that is sly and horrific enough to kill people. The ending of the story is unclear, but in the music video nearly every person working on the project is killed by the horrific sound, which is personified by Bush herself as she changed from an angelic apparition into an horrific flying monster. The song features Nigel Kennedy on violin, who at one point replicates the screeching violins from Bernard Herrmann's famous scoring of the shower scene in Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 film '' Psycho''. The B-sides of both the 7" and 12" singles included a re-working of "Wuthering Heights", the single ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
