| Kate Bush – L'Amour Looks Something Like You Lyrics | 6 years ago |
|
The song seems to contain references (wine/aura/night/mask) consistent with a woman undertaking a magic ritual to summon up an incubus which comes to her and with whom she has sex with. (Black reverie/boatmen etc may be a reference to the river Styx). The words in the title *looks something like you* show that the object of her desire is not something of love itself but a phantasm that substitutes for love. Many of Kate's songs contain references to magic rituals, most notably in the song "Lily" where a magic ritual is described (although in the traditional ritual, Raphael and Gabriel are the other way round to the song) |
