| This song has stuck with me since seeing Kate perform it on Top of the Pops on a Thursday in 1978. A 19 year old performing live whilst dancing in a ballet style itself was mesmerising.. It was one of the perfromances that came from left field at the time - completely different and unique against a backdrop of punk rock and disco. A song about a famous British Novel - who would think of that being a success. The record company were against the idea of the song and she apparently cried until they agreed. It of course went to number 1 after 2 weeks. The video for this fits the song - she dances in a hippy style outfit in a field around the edge of the forest. For a 19 year to write, sing, dance and play on the song and co-produce was and still is an extraordinary feat. A truly one-off in terms of vocal ability, charm and artistic ability. | |

| This was the first song i ever heard by Kate and my first impressions were obviously complete wonderment as a result of her extremely high voice! After i got over how wonderfully unique and strange she seemed, i discovered how artistic and talented she was. I am a huge Kate Bush fan and love all of her work, but the way she almost became Cathy in this song was just so clever. She brought the character to life and portrayed her perfectly both in the video, and also vocally. | |

| Wow, thanks "winterycappy" and the rest of you fucking imbeciles writing out spoilers. Thanks for ruining the best novel I've ever only half read. And to the people who can't read the novel for lack of understanding, fuck you. You have neither the sensitivity nor the intelligence to comprehend the passions of Miss Bronte. It's not like it's Shakspear anyway- it's a pretty straight foward read. Go and play video games like good kiddies. Anyway this song is truely haunting and achingly beautiful. I'm reading the novel now with it playing in the background. Catherine has just died..and now it seems I know how it ends and I guess a part of me is thankful.. Heathcliff is a beautiful character, as is the wild Catherine who so much reminds me of my very first love. I have been bought to tears not a few times so far in the novel reminiscing about times spent with her. This song arises in me the passion to try again and obtain that which was lost. I wish the same for all here. | |

| This song is so beautiful. It's about this painful, impossible love that is shared by Cathy and Heathcliff. Cathy trys to posses him, but their love is bound for tradgedy from the beginning, and she dies and haunts him till he joins her. It promted me to read the book aswell, and i failed the first time, but i made another attempt and really enjoyed it the second time. | |

| I remember my older sister buying Wuthering Heights as a single. I sat for hours listening to it, over and over, trying to piece together the lyrics. I was captivated. She grabbed hold of my soul… Kate is the whole human story… all its potentials, its frustrations, its realizations, its disappointments... It’s all there, patiently crafted, sat in her lap! Listen to her, learn and enjoy! | |

| I love this song, it literally makes my hairs stand on end. I think reading the book makes it all the more poignant, because despite the lyrics this song still sounds like a fairly 'normal' love song (I use the word normal in the loosest sense possible), but the book is pretty disturbing which makes this song more chilling I think. | |

| Wuthering Heights can be a confusing novel at times, but this song actually helps to clear things up slightly. | |

| Before reading the actual lyrics I was sure there were double meanings in this song, because it seems very suggestive of child abuse. But lo and behold it really isn't. Kate Bush is a heroine for certain, and this song gives me chills. I'd like to obtain the video for this song, if anyone has it on soulseek. | |

| The moon is full as an egg. I have slipped out past my keeper, into the corridor. Appalling beams pin me into the light. I remember, I was in her room last night - or the night before - in a white dress, the one he used to like me wearing. I looked into the glass and saw an elfin pale face. I tore the veil and let the lace drift to the floor like wounded doves. Now I know what I must do; the candle, the flames - the cold black ruins. I can see Tia, crying, the luke warm blood seeping down my brow. Jump from fire, into the night's cool embrace. | |
