Cannot express how genuinely thrilled I am that she is being discovered again. This song meant the WORLD to me during my youth…. just FANTASTIC!

[jon-paulfilkins]

So many artists owe Kate Bush a debt. She showed so much was possible. That artists could be artful and commercially successful, that artists could self produce, that artists could embrace technology, that artists could keep creative control. She did that all.

So emotional to hear Kate’s voice again !!

[nellies]

Kate means so much to me, I hope she knows she also had younger fans before this too! Hearing her voice again makes me so emotional, she's so sweet. Also her laugh I think just cured my depression. From now on when I'm feeling sad, I will listen to this❤

[johnmcculloch]

Great to hear Kate on the radio again, talking about her music and life in general. What a coup for Woman’s hour, well done.

[ritzy]

I feel so vindicated that I have been a Fan since the 80's. I played her music on my Walkman so much that I wore it out! Truly amazing that others are discovering her now.

[albvvelazquez]

it’s so heartwarming to hear kate. her music saved me during quarantine in 2020. i love her so much

[stevie]

She was ahead of her time and she is now right in time.

To hear Kate's lovely voice made my day. She seems to be ethereally sweet, kind, pleasant yet so hyper perceptive and intelligent. It was wonderful to hear her in 2022, she sounds the same as always. I'm glad that she is living her best life, has a brick for a phone and is out in the beautiful Devon sunlight attending to her plants and garden. She has nothing left to prove, her achievements and body of work speak for themselves and I'm happy that she is leading a normal life. I'm thrilled that she is receiving the worldwide recognition that she was due so many decades ago. She's always been a star and an incredible songwriter, producer and performer but now she seems to eclipsed even that and is just Kate Bush, you know, that icon.

[zoolook]

So happy for Kate to be getting the attention and respect she's ALWAYS deserved. A true artist in every sense. xxx

[BrianKSmith-dssh]

I have followed Kate since I was 20 and Kate was 19. Her music still strikes a chord deep inside of me... more than 4o years later. Always wished I could meet her, and see her in concert, but living on the west coast of Canada... that was never possible.

[paddynoble]

Amazing to hear from Kate Bush. I love that she's living her ordinary life in the garden. She is an amazing inspiration. And I love that she is so connected with life around her and just doing her own thing.

[gottee]

She sounds so happy and content in life

[henriettahudson]

IT'S ABOUT TIME!!! The Millennials have discovered music's best kept secret. I've been a Kate Bush fan for 40 years and have preached The Gospel of Kate to anyone who would listen. To Kate: Thank you so much for your revolutionary music that challenges us to think and question this straight-laced, patriarchal culture. - LET'S EXCHANGE THE EXPERIENCE!! Your music has saved me more times than I could count. Your music has consoled me when I was lonely and sad. Thank you so much and you deserve your flowers RIGHT NOW!!

Aww, you just can hear the excitement in her voice! So heartwarming listening to her voice, so soothing as always ☺️

[florriebellerose]

Bless, she sounds so sweet and down to earth. I wasn’t around in the 80s, but I was born in ‘93 so not exactly a ‘young’ fan but grew up in the UK so always known of her. My mum passed away years ago now but she used to listen to her, and so Hounds of Love has always had a place in my heart.

I do feel a bit amused by so many kids saying ‘she wasn’t popular, no one knew who she was’ because that’s obviously not true, at least in the UK, but it’s nice to see them appreciating Kate and 80’s music in general. I’m really happy to see her music reaching so many new people across the world. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer person.

[magicovento]

I want experiment IV in the next season!!! <3 <3 <3

Cloudbusting at the end of the film “Palm Springs” is another excellent use of a Kate Bush song on a tv show/film.

[PLEASE_USE_POP_FILTERS]

I've adored Kate Bush since birth thanks to my mum. I'm probably not as young as the new fans at 28, but yeah. Things have gone from me telling people my fave singer and them being like "who?" to suddenly everyone knowing her. It's so strange, and while like the interviewer said, I do feel oddly protective, I am very glad she has so many new fans.

[oscarkomenda]

I first heard Kate on GTA vice city in 2003 on radio station the song "wow" and thought she's pure creator after listening to every album. crazy experiences just from listening to her songs.

she's on a whole different level
In her own league
