Kate Bush - Never for Ever


Who does not know the story of Kate Bush, composing her own songs behind the piano and being so talented she got picked up by a family friend and brought to the attention of Pink Floyd's lead guitarist David Gilmour at the age of 15 and signed up with EMI Records at the age of 16. Only to become England's most powerful pop/rock act since the Beatles. 


And not only that but she brought the audience music based on art, poetry, history, cinema and not to forget literature. "Wuthering Heights" (based on the work of Emma Brönte) became one of the world's most famous songs of all time.

What I like most about Kate Bush is that she never gave a damn about what critics wrote, like losing her audience and followed her own path, searching, creating, writing, composing to arrive on a level that high she made such an astonishing album, the biggest part of her audience were not able to fully comprehend the beauty and complexity, yet she states her self it is by far her best album (The Dreaming) which I agree with her.

Never for Ever is her third album and brought her the first top five ranked song since Wuthering Heights, "Babooshka", but there are many other well known songs on the album, like "All We Ever Look For", "Army Dreamers" and "Breathing".
