Hi everyboy, Fisrt, to Mikael Jakonen (please tell me that I spelled that right...) Thanks for your comments. I actually enjoyed everything you had to say. The second that I started to write about Kate's lyrical content and its interpreations, I knew I was on shaky ground. I JUST SAID "Fuck it!" and wrote it (again, too much Camille Paglia). Anyways, I think what you had to say was valid, that maybe Kate has shared her secrets, but I also said that maybe not even know what her lyrics are about. Somethimes when you write something, it just feels right to put it down on paper, you just want to let that feeling out, and fuck knows where it came from.....But maybe Kate is very careful about what she writes, and really is sure of her lyrics. I don't know, but you must admit that it brings about a interesting discussion (there is only one thing I hate about the 'net and its that when you write, sometimes a sarcastic, or not even serious remark is misunderstood. I hope I really didn't offend anyone with my retorts. I do find discussions of this sort quite intersting though..... I extend an invitation to all to write me at my address (please do not necessarily write to the amiling list, beacause I find that when a personal discussion goes on a list, it blows out of proportion, and all who don't know or don't really care to know what we're talking about get ANNOYED!!!!!. I do not want to become the black sheep of this list....... Somebody mentioned a Ninth wave movie script or something to that effect.... I must know more!!!! The title actually originates from the Tennyson poem (which you all know) The Coming Of Arthur by Tennyson. Now, I have an interview with Kate Bush done in 1985 in which she discusses why the seperation of the two sides. The main reason that they were seperated is because that the two sides are like two different entities. The passage from the poem was just really cool, so that's basically why she called it that. No big deal. But then again, maybe there is something more to it. I doubt it. I'll write down that segment of the interview and post it up. Aspects of the Sensual World- What is it!?! I need more info.... Marcel Rijs also mentioned Tori Amos covered, what is that.... New topic for discussion: Kate on vinyl....... I am an avid collector of vinyl especially Kate stuff. I have all her studio albums on vinyl, all domestic to Canada, and a UK printing of "The Kick Inside" (the one with the Kate on a kite). I also have the 12'' single of "Moments of Pleasure" in the poster bag. I also have the 7'' single of "Love and anger" which is presented in a booklet with photos I presume to be of the vid.... I also have a 7'' picture disc of "This Woman's Work" photo by John Carder Bush, with "Be Kind To My Mistakes" ("Love" has "Ken"). I am wondering the value of such jewels, can anyone give me an idea? I will NEVER sell ANY of my Kate stuff on vinyl! EVER! If anyone knows how to get it though, I would be extremely appreciative. One last thing: I absolutely love "Lagen's Love"... I once heard a cover version of it, but I can't find out who sang it though. It was very distictively Irish, very Enya-like qualities (it was not sung by Enya or Clannad, I am positive!). Comments, questions, love letters or advice.... ( I have to stop reading Rolling Stone) Simon
