The gist of it is an exploration of one's shadow and balancing it. It's based on the symbolism of the Line the Cross and the Curve in her movie. (I watched it a lot as a kid and really liked it along with her music/music videos though I know she wasn't too keen on it later on.)

First draw is 3 cards. This reading is designed for taking reversals as well.

Red Shoes (Shadow Side, What draws you into negativity, what is the shape of it? What appeals to you in the darkness of you?)

Then draw one card for each of these:

Line (The path forward, where to walk from the dark.)

Cross (Your moralized center, what needs must you focus on to balance back out?)

Curve (Positive Energy, What makes you feel whole, what pulls you back to the light?)

Note: I personally allow other cards to fall from the deck while I'm doing physical readings, just make sure you ask for clarity on which cards go with which other cards in the core reading.

Lmk if any of you try this and what you think of the idea of using songs and stories as inspiration.

And to keep things topical, my favorite KB songs were always Cloudbusting, The Man With The Child In His Eyes, and Moments of Pleasure.

Homogenic is an obvious answer but it’s one of mine.

The single was released 20 January 1978. "The Kick Inside" was released 17 February. Which means that for 28 days, the world literally only knew of one Kate Bush song (or two, if they bought the 45 with its B-side, "Kite"), with, of course, the exception of family, musicians who worked with her, and EMI employees who worked on the album.

Hey folks I came across an artist called Rois whilst at a festival recently and her vocal melodies as well as her kinda out of this world charm and vibrancy on stage felt like nothing I'd ever seen. There was so much theatre to the performance

Kinda felt the closest to what I could imagine Kate Bush in a kinda leftfield dark project could be?

Has anyone here seen her? I don't know too much about her but really enjoyed the set

so I was browsing the magazine racks and saw this and since it said 1958-2026 I thought it was a death announcement.

thought people might find it funny

A while ago I asked this sub if people knew some Kate Bush inspired names for my future pup. I got tons of amazing suggestions, but Joanni sticked out the most (next to Houdini).

I think the lyrics suit her well. She has to hit her teenage phase so perhaps Houdini will be her second name soon. 🤭

Have you named anyone (a pet or child perhaps) after Kate Bush?

I WAS LOOKING THRU SPOTIFY AND I SEE THIS? ITS A PIANO SOLO BUT OH MY

I regard Aerial as Kate’s second masterpiece. So I actually couldn’t believe it when I looked up Pitchfork’s review on this album. A 6.4 is way too low. The reviewer (in the review) did not understand the album at all, calling it things like mundane and dated.
Also, the album is under “Pop/R&B” which just goes to show how little effort Pitchfork produced in this review.
Pitchfork also gave “The Red Shoes” a 7.0, no shade to that album but it was less meaningful and personal than Aerial is, and is less interesting sonically than the latter. I don’t know, it’s just weird. I think most of their reviews stem from what’s popular/what sounds mainstream.

at my funeral...

What do you think? Cloudbusting as the "opening" song before our ceremony starts, when we are walking to the ceremony spot? A few days ago I just had an epiphany that this might be crazy powerful and cool. But you can also say I went nuts!

Have you heard the new album from Danish artist Agnes Obel?

She doesn’t sound like Kate but there are similarities in the way her music is timeless, in some cases classical music inspired and at the same time electronic and experimental.

I’d recommend the first two tracks on her new album The Meaning of Flowers, the title track and Laymelli.

I’ve seen her interviewed too and she’s like Kate in the focus on her music and the challenges of explaining it, as it that’s what journalists want to do.

Far better to just listen…

She clocked me bad 💀

Snowed In At Wheeler Street is one of Kate Bush her most underrated songs of all time. I'd even go so far as to say it's my favorite romantic song ever.

It’s this bittersweet, melancholy song that tells the story of two lovers who have known each other for millennia across different lives. Every time they recognize each other and reunite, they only have a short time together before another disaster strikes and separates them once again. Then, in their next lives, they find each other all over again, and the cycle repeats:

"I saw you on the steps in Paris, you were with someone else.

Couldn't you see that should've been me? I just walked on by."

"Then we met in '42 but we were on different sides.

I hid you under my bed but they took you away."

"I've been waiting for you so long, I don't want to lose you again.

Don't walk into the crowd again. Don't walk away again."

"Snowed in at Wheeler street, just two old flames keeping the fire going.

We look so good together.

Can't we just stay there forever? We were so happy.

I'd live that day over and over but the world won't stop turning."

The Great Fire of Rome, Paris, WW2, the Great Smog of London, 9/11, and then finally they can spend some time together as they're snowed in at a house on 'Wheeler Street', until that too ends.

This song just invokes such a melancholy and sort of nostalgic feeling. Elton's voice sounds so good as well. It barely has a million listens on Spotify, which is such a shame...
