Yeah it was very much in danger of collapsing due to some landslides after a storm in 2014 and more hectic weather since then. I can't find anything about her current residence so I'm assuming she paid the money for installing safety features to keep living there.

I know she installed security cameras and a fence (electric?) because some idiot stalker broke in when she was out.

A Deeper Look at the Bizarre Tale of the Would-Be Kate Bush Paramour - Alan Cross

You may have read recently about Frank Tufaro, a 32 year-old unemployed New York artist, who showed up uninvited at Kate Bush's seaside country estate in Devon. Although he appeared at the door on December 26, the story has been kept quiet until now. Frank came bearing a gift: a $5,000 Tiffany...

Yup, the guy travelled to the UK with a 5000$ ring to ask her to marry him. Typical Lolcow behaviour.

Frank came bearing a gift: a $5,000 Tiffany ring made of gold, diamonds and sapphires. His goal? To propose marriage.

No wonder she doesn't really do promo. She's not reclusive she just doesn't do the regular musician stuff.

She did a song with Big Boi that we can expect within the next year or so.

Two more requests, ‘Sat in Your Lap’ and ‘Suspended in Gaffa’ vids please, for a fitting appreciation thread. I don’t think there’s a proper vid for ‘Night of the Swallow’ sadly.

She did not get in this year unfortunately.

HOWEVER


Running Up That Hill is now #1 on iTunes thanks to the crap that is Stranger Things. Thank you Winona Ryder (?) I guess lol. The R&R Hall of Fame is kicking themselves now.

I won't lie I like the arrangement at the end with the symphony. It suited the song a lot.

Someone I know went to her concert a few years ago and I never recovered from my jealousy.

It's hard to pick a favorite song but Senusal World is pretty top for me. There's something about it and the quality of her voice that really reminds me intimacy and the way you feel during the first few months of love and lust in a relationship.


Maybe it's a sperg but I love how unapologetic feminine she is as well, vulnerable and strong both in equal measures depending on song narrator. And how she celebrates and sings about genuine love from a woman's perspective towards men as well in a lot of her songs.

Fun fact: Sensual World was originally supposed to be Kate Bush reading the monologue from the very end of Ulysses but James Joyces' estate told Kate Bush to fuck off and forced her to have to create brand new lyrics that were as close to the original text as she could get away with without being sued for plagiarism. It wasn't until the early 2010s that the Joyce estate finally caved and gave her the rights to the monologue, which led to Kate using the musical backing tract from Sensual World to remake the song with the monologue as lyrics.

(fan video of the song as it was originally intended using Sensual World video)

That was interesting! Thank you! I do like this version. Her voice is a bit huskier now but it's still beautiful. Has a bit more experience in the tone.

i just love that like audrey hepburn most pics people see of her is from when she was a cute chick in her 20s, you can't find a single waifu thread on the internet with a picture of her after she turned 35, most zoomers probably would be shocked that she's a chunky old lady now.

also running up that hill just reminds me a lot of those songs you hear in kingdom hearts,
