Artists shouldn’t be made famous. They have this huge aura of almost god-like quality about them, just because their craft makes a lot of money. And at the same time it is a forced importance… It is man-made so the press can feed off it.

[“A Deal with God”] was the first single off Hounds of Love. I’d put a lot of work into putting that album together and I wanted it to have every chance.
KATE BUSH

Albums Firsts Together
I don’t know you, And you don’t know me. It is this that brings us together.

What am I singing? A song of seeds The food of love. Eat the music.
KATE BUSH

Life Singing Song
Moving stranger, Does it really matter, As long as you’re not afraid to feel? Touch me, hold me. How my open arms ache! Try to fall for me.
KATE BUSH

Fall Long Moving
My desire was never to be famous. It was to try and create something interesting musically if I could.

Desire Interesting Trying
In some ways, when you re-envision a song like that [“Never Be Mine”], there’s a completely different energy to it each night.
KATE BUSH

Energy Night Song
Just being alive It can really hurt These moments given Are a gift from time.
KATE BUSH

Alive Hurt Time
Sometimes when I look back on myself on those earlier records, there was so much effort going in, so much trying. With this, I was trying to make it much more laid back.

Back Effort Laid Trying
All we’re ever looking for is another open door.

The thing with 50 Words of Snow is that it was literally back-to-back from Director’s Cut [also released in 2011]. It was more or less that I got to make two albums in one hit. I was already in this space in my mind to be writing and making an album.
KATE BUSH

I don’t think a lot of people listen to their old stuff, do they? I spent a long time making it, so I don’t really want to spend much time listening to it again.

KATE BUSH

Deal Grand Great Hear Listen Probably Spend
