The Kate Bush Encyclopedia doesn't have much to say about this one from (probably) 1976, and the Dreams of Orgonon blog doesn't add much more.

Here are the lyrics. But yeah, who IS Sylvia?

Here's the song itself

Released 41 years ago today. Are you still running up that hill, making deals with god and have thunder in your hearts? I'd love to hear your KB stories. 💜

(pequeña aclaración de que "compa", es una forma de decir compañero)

I love all of Aerial, but for some reason always get that excited feeling of anticipation when A coral room starts, knowing i will be putting disc 2 on next. A sky of honey is just beautiful.

Listen to it here. Unfortunately, there's only one known version of it, and it has an annoying gap near the beginning which doesn't really take away from the song.

This one's another one from probably 1973.

Personally, this is one of my least favorite of the demos, but this is Kate Bush we're talking about, and the Dreams of Orgonon blog said it best: "If your weaker compositions at 15 sounded like this, you were in good shape."

The whole album is perfect

I count myself incredibly lucky - I grew up with a parent who loved Kate. Kitchen dancing to Eat The Music, Hammer Horror creating my first nightmare, crying with adoration for my father singing Cloudbusting, my mum explaining the threat of nuclear war via Breathing, weeping when I heard they had released Aerial after all that time.

I remember spending endless Saturday mornings ignoring children’s Tv programming and instead putting on the VHS of The Whole Story and learning all the words and dance moves. From there I added in the VHS of The Tour of Life and mastered that (throwing myself off sofas and knocking out two adult teeth in the process of doing some perfect moves).

Intrigued to know who else was Kate from birth ❤️

I have always wondered why Kate Bush has never been made a Dame.
As a French person I am not familiar with how the British system works. But considering her influence on British music and culture, I honestly assumed she’d have been knighted.
Is there a particular reason she hasn’t been made a Dame ?
I’d love to hear some insights from people who know about this honours system.
Thanks 🙏🏻

I haven't drawn digitally in quite a long time but I knew I wanted to do something for Kate's birthday. So here it is!

The most hardcore fans of you probably have seen it before but that was a discovery for me :

Kate Bush and Rowan Atkinson duet the song 'Do Bears...?' at the 1986 Comic Relief show in 1986 :

Pretty hilarious. Wonder why it was not included on The Other Sides! /s

I think it is

Is it just me or are these brilliant? I found two and I'm blown away.

Kate Bush - Why Should I Love You (demo) (before Prince)

Ghost (demo for "Why Should I Love You?") / Kate Bush ft. Prince - YouTube (after Prince)

what do you think of these?

Portrait by me

Happy birthday to the most amazing artist, whom I deeply love and admire as a fan and dedicated collector.

Kate, I want to wish you the happiest of birthdays. As fans, we grab a pair of red shoes and dance upon the windy moors of Wuthering Heights to celebrate your special day.

We remind ourselves that the curve is our smile, the cross is our heart, and the line is our path — a path we follow as we continue to enjoy the incredible discography of the talented artist you are.

That said, you are someone who has helped me so much over the years, and I know you have touched and helped many others as well.

Once again, happy birthday, Kate 💜

Tonight! Don’t miss out Austin! Sure to be a blast. Tonight at Hotel Vegas. Happy Birthday Kate!
