Houdini Lyrics

Cover art for Houdini lyrics by Kate Bush

This song is very tragic and passionate at the sametime. I love how kate performs this song. I'm going to say perform because kate not only sings her music she also brings dramatics to it. She is so amazing. This song starts with Houdini's wife getting ready for the traditional halloween houdini saounce?*( spelling ) I think Houdini died on Halloween. So every halloween rosabel tries to reach him. The song sort of switches from the present to the past. It goes from the saounces to Rosabel's painful memory of Houdini supposedly drowning. To get the impact and feel of the song you would have to listen to Kate sing this song. Truly an artist she is.

p.s sorry about the long paragraph =)
