For some reason I’ve become fixated on the music of Kate
Bush again. I’ve taken to spending long periods on YouTube in the early hours,
listening to track after old track and going to bed late.
My first fixation was back in the days when she was riding
high at the forefront of popular music, and I remember it having quite a
profound effect on me. So now I’m reliving a lot of the old feelings and
influences, and I’m wondering what it means. Does it mean that I’m getting a
second bite of a cherry that I didn’t appreciate at the time? Does it mean that
there were lessons to be learned back then, and now they’re being reinforced?
Or does it mean nothing at all?
We never know, do we? Not unless we put two and two together
and it becomes obvious, which it rarely does with me because I’m too dim.
But at least I now know what The Kick Inside is all about, and that’s a relief.
