I still dream of Orgonon
I wake up crying
You're making rain
And you're just in reach
When you and sleep escape me
You're like my yo-yo
That glowed in the dark
What made it special
Made it dangerous
So I bury it
And forget
But every time it rains
You're here in my head
Like the sun coming out
Ooh, I just know that something good is gonna happen.
And I don't know when
But just saying it could even make it happen
On top of the world
Looking over the edge
You could see them coming
You looked too small
In their big black car
To be a threat to the men in power.
I hid my yo-yo
In the garden.
I can't hide you
From the government
Oh, God, Daddy
I won't forget
'Cause every time it rains
You're here in my head
Like the sun coming out
Ooh, I just know that something good is gonna to happen.
And I don't know when
But just saying it could even make it happen
And every time it rains
You're here in my head
Like the sun coming out
Like your son's coming out
Ooh, I just know that something good is going to happen
And I don't know when
But just saying it could even make it happen
Ooh, just saying it could even make it happen
We've been cloudbusting daddy
The sun's coming out
Your son's coming out
I wake up crying
You're making rain
And you're just in reach
When you and sleep escape me
You're like my yo-yo

Came in to see if Bill had added a button to vote occasional songs an 11.
Sadly not.
Because this deserves it.

Wilhelm Reich as subject matter? Leave it to Kate!
Great song that has been sampled for so many dance records Kate must be making a fortune off the royalties from this.

One of my favorite albums. I love cranking it up.
The first time I had really listened to her was after catching her on SNL in the 1970's. From that point on I wanted to marry her, hell, I still do!
I've rated this a 10, and it's probably my least favorite song on this brilliant album. I love that she wrote a song about Reich! She gets points just for that alone.
A unique voice and a lot of talent, what else do we listen for.
Kate's best album (by far, IMO).
She was a true original and no other female artist was making music like this in 1985.
Side 2 was as impressive a piece of prog as any of the boys were turning out.

See...this right here is why I don't like to post negative shit about songs I don't like...and while I did come to post a comment about how I'm not a fan of this song (and K Bush in general) I have this rated a 2 because I almost find myself looking forward to when it comes on (or the live version) because it's one of my quickest 'skip it now' songs.
And the first few comments I peaked at were similar to my views, giving me strength to smack the track a bit more. And then I see your comment, and all I can think to say is: RIP John!! And just for that I'll go 2 → 3
See....this Bush is growing on me already 
And a continued appreciation to RP for opening ears, if sometimes slowly, to music/musicians not in my wheelhouse and expanding what I consider "good" music to listen to - as always: LONG LIVE RP!!
This music fills my heart with joy ohh how i would kill to meet good ol kate
I will double my annual contribution if you halve the amount of Kate Bush you play. I can't help it. I hate it all so viscerally. And you play it so, so much. Maybe only U2 gets more play.
And about U2...

This works better than it has any right to.

It took me a few months but I believe I finally 'get' Kate Bush. Otherwise, it is easy to understand why she is a musician's musician.
Can we add 11 to the rate scale? For this song at least?
Read this and then the lyrics will start to make sense...

Don't read the FDA reports, they have every reason to want to bury the research. Read about the actual results obtained from those who carried it out and then draw your conclusions.

If you have never heard of Wilhelm Reich it is well worth taking the time to research.
This song is about him and refers that the American Government shut down his research into Orgone Energy and dictated all his research was destroyed to stop the public knowing about it.
They then imprisoned him for no good reason and he died while incarcerated.

Something good is gonna happen! Kate will be releasing a live album in November, of her 2014 Before the Dawn shows.

When Kate performed this in her live show a couple of years ago, she was visibly moved when the audience sang along with 'yea yea yea yo.' I was moved as well, being lucky enough to be in the audience.

Wow, Elbow, Beethoven, and then Kate Bush. What a fantastic combination of music and that's why I subscribe to Radio Paradise!! Worth the money and worth the time for this unique range of quality music - well done and always a surprise.

Recently learned that David Gilmour is the one who funded her early demo tape and opened the doors to get it heard by record companies when she was 15 yo!!! So we have David to thank for revealing her greatness for us all to enjoy...

For those who haven't hear about
After a decade long silence, Kate Bush went back on stage in England recently!
A HUUUUGE success, the papers wrote.
All 10 (20?) shows in a row have been sold-out, with an enthusiastic crowd!

I must say that KB does not mean much, if anything, to me.

Fantastic song, megalolz that it becomes a train at the end.
It's okay, but I can't deal with this more than about once a year. More often and it hurts my earballs. Overplayed on RP.

Compared to the lip-sync pseudo-performance videos that were the "top" videos of 1985, this stood out at the time and IMO stands up better than the others. The pacing matches the song perfectly. The steampunk-y vibe (or whatever for the '20s/'30s) was really different, too.

Hey! How do you know that? I can imagine this blowing his mind with excitement in hearing (yes hearing, because he could have implants!) this fantastic emotive soundscape.
And then finding how to dance the funky chicken. . .
Anyway, this is a solid 10 for me and always a joy to hear.
My favorite KB album, miles and miles ahead of her recent stuff. A proper album with a change of theme when you flipped it over.
Always puts a smile on my face when Kate Bush comes on. Still original.

Utah Saints put out, Something Good back in 92 using samples from this song- I prefer that one over this. Probably because I heard it first. Curious if anyones heard that version?

Beethoven just rolled over in his grave. I'm pretty sure hearing this song come after him would make him come after Bill with a machine gun if he were alive.

I recall when this first came out - intriguing very new but it slipped farther and farther from my taste and now is totally Not my taste - wasn't into music videos as they wrecked music for me if I watched them, so no idea what the video talked about is like. I respect her but she isn't in my realm of musical tastes which does stretch hugely.
The only thing better than this song is the video.
all hail the Queen!!
