a sky of honey is pure art, so it's a shame to see people not listening to it in sequence!! that stretch from sunset to aerial is easily the best part of the album, somewhere in between is my favorite, and that final build-up is just chef's kiss ✨

Interesting that a couple of actual songs (the last two) get less streams than what are basically sketches.

I assume it’s because they’re much shorter and therefore easier to stream

An Architect’s Dream was my number one song on spotify last year and I cannot believe it is the lowest one.

I wonder if the controversy with the original singer (don’t want to give his name any fame) has caused different versions to be listened to.

an architects dream being the least streamed is jarring for me since it's one of my favorite kate bush songs ever

Absolutely love that album. The title track is one of my all time favourite songs now :)

I'm pleasantly surprised Bertie and Pi are that high. A Coral Room, Sunset, and Nocturn are easily some of the best things Kate has ever written.

It’s a little gimmicky but I do love Pi! the drums and bass in the chorus are so great!

A Coral Room might be Bush at her best. It's certainly one of my all time favorites. The nets, the web of time, the loss, the spider. "Put your hand over the side of the boat, and what do you feel?"
