Every old sock meets an old shoe

Kate Bush

The original vocals had an awful lot of work put into them at the time, and I wasn’t really sure that I could better them – I don’t know if I have bettered them.
KATE BUSH

Awful Knows Original
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
There are a lot of very strong connections with music and mathematics. They both can work in patterns and sequences and repetitions.
KATE BUSH

Connections Patterns Strong
Irish folk is probably the biggest influence musically that I’ve ever had. My mother’s Irish. And when I was very young, both my brothers were very into traditional music, English and Irish. They were always playing music, so I was always brought up with it.

I don’t think it’s a very nice idea [making biopic] at all. I don’t think my life is that interesting.
KATE BUSH

Ideas Nice Thinking
If ever there’s been somebody to hold as an icon of sheer determination and willpower, it’s that guy [Stephen Hawking ], let alone any of the things he’s done scientifically. I’m sure that’s his driving force, but he’s a miracle and an aspiration.
KATE BUSH

Determination Icons Miracle

KATE BUSH

Alone Awful Spending Time
We have a female prime minister [Theresa May] here in the UK. I actually really like her and think she’s wonderful. I think it’s the best thing that’s happened to us in a long time.

Like Long Thinking Wonderful
I think snow is so evocative and has such a powerful atmosphere.
KATE BUSH

Powerful Snow Thinking
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

Album Cutting More Space Two Writing
I don’t really listen to a great deal of music. I love music, but since I spend a lot of time in the studio, we probably watch a movie rather than listen to albums. I get to hear stuff, but not on the grand scale.
KATE BUSH

Deal Grand Great Hear Listen Probably Spend
That doesn’t matter. If it speaks to them and they get something positive from it, it’s great.
KATE BUSH

Great Matter Positive Something Speak
All we’re ever looking for is another open door.
KATE BUSH

Anchor Doors Look Open
The great thing about art on any level is that it can speak to all people if it’s achieved properly.
KATE BUSH

Art Levels People
I could find faults with all my albums because that’s just a part of being an artist – it’s hard being a human being, isn’t it?
