| Kate Bush – Running Up That Hill Lyrics

To whom it may interest:
Over the years, since 1978, and with some prior knowledge, emanating from a certain ‘event’ in 1971, I have observed/deduced that almost all of Kate’s songs, regardless of title, theme, meaning or purpose, hold a phrase, line, or merely a single word, which refers back to one specific person. Even those songs that largely purport to concern others, have that piece of code, hidden within the lyrics. They are secret, almost subliminal messages, cast into the ether. |

@[ZwaanMe:27796]: It is not a “fact” - it is Mr. Blacknell’s (half reasonable) conclusion/opinion. He only claims that he was “told so, by others”. He may well hope that it is so; but there again, wouldn’t we all! Miss Bush has never publicly named a specific individual. Point: the reference to the “sea” is the key to the mystery.

@[Blyton:27793] : I regretted writing the comment above, but was unable to delete it. I confessed to my ‘source’ - he was less than pleased! I am now (quite rightly) obliged to eat dirt, and apologise. I am deeply sorry for making any mention whatsoever. I also have to correct a small error: John/Ossy was 4 day’s short of his 21st, birthday. Further, My ‘source’ also insists that I changed my definite statement to, ‘possibly’ - so as not to offend certain notable ‘others’. Apologies made, I shall now go and chew a worm or two. Adieu.

“The Man With The Child In His Eyes” was a friend of a friend (of a friend) of Kate’s brother, Paddy, who once brought him home for a few hours, one summer’s afternoon. Cathy was thirteen, and he, John (Ossy) was twenty one; a student at a coastal university. John heard Cathy singing, whilst playing the piano. Unknown to her, he stood in the doorway, listening, for several minutes, before Cathy became aware of his presence. They chatted intently for two hours or more, before John left with Paddy, delivering him back to their mutual friend (of a friend) in order to visit a folk club that evening. During their conversation, John/Ossy, asked Cathy to promise to continue with her songwriting. She promised. Kate’s own explanation skirts around the details, but it is based upon this very real meeting. |
