Kate Bush Radio Show | We discuss the songs of Kate Bush. Kate Bush Delia Smith's Cookery interview. Kate Bush. "Well, when I was about seventeen, I was playing clubs and people would come up to me and say, 'You sound like Kate Bush.' And at the time: seventeen, that was ... thirteen years ago, and I would say, 'I don't, I don't know that, but I've heard of her.' So eventually, of course, I got her record, and I didn't really think I sounded like her.

But maybe there're moments—there're moments — who knows what my great-great-great-great-grandfather was doing back there, you don't know where the genes go. I, I do admit that there are moments of 'God, that's uncanny.' I mean, I guess if somebody was going to do, like, you know, 'Is it live or is it Memorex? ', we could probably do each other and nobody would know, unless you really have a good ear.

But, um, she smokes a little more weed than I do, so I'd have to catch up. Kate Bush, CBE is one of the most unique musicians on the planet.

"Melody Maker, "Paranoia and Passion of the Kate Inside" (1980)[/b][/color]gaffa.org/reaching/i80_mm.html 'Waking The Witch' ("Red, red roses/Pinks and posies/Go down") borrows heavily from A.L. Lloyd's halyard chantey 'Blood Red Roses' ("Go down, you blood red roses, go down/Ah, you pinks and posies/Go down, you blood red roses, go down").

Blood Red Roses: This halyard chantey was popular in Cape Horn ships out of Liverpool. It is most probably based on a family of Irish and English folk songs concerning the Napoleonic Wars. The -blood red roses- may be a reference to British redcoat soldiers, or it may be the capitol cities of Europe, referred to as the -bonnie bunch of roses- that Napoleon tried to gather and lost, in an Irish song of that name. However, others put the origin of the phrase "blood red roses" down to A.L. 'Blood Red Roses' was recorded in 1956 by A.L.
