When EMI signed the teenage prodigy Kate Bush, the label claimed that in order to nurture her talent, it wouldn't release her first album until she had a few years to grow up. As a result, her debut, THE KICK INSIDE, didn't see daylight for three years. On the other hand, her second album, LIONHEART, was rush-released only nine months after the success of its predecessor. Fortunately, Kate still had some leftover songs from the debut session, helping make her sophomore effort an equally strong offering. With the wisdom of someone much older, Kate looks at sex, spirituality, and death in "Symphony in Blue"; at childhood in "Peter Pan"; and the trauma of relationships in "Fullhouse" and "Don't Push Your Foot on the Heartbreak." Her handwritten lyrics for the beautiful "Oh England My Lionheart" give her away--the handwriting is that of the 16-year-old she was at the time. As Kate often said in those days, "wow." | |||||||||||||||
Reviews Review created: 16/08/08 by: I love KB. In her early years she had such a mystical viewpoint and great subject matter and an amazing grasp of music, captivating stuff, always listenable. It was a very good price compared to the new price, I do feel a little guilty that the artist gets no royalty from this sale. Maybe Ebay should pay a fee back to the artist for all product, be it Video, DVD or CD etc as a royalty per sale. Review ID: 10000000008365976 Was this review helpful? Report this review Review created: 10/06/08 by: Kate Bush - Lionheart One of Kate Bushs best albums. Had this album years ago (1978!), when I was only six years old and love it still, 30 years later. From the first song, the haunting 'Symphony in Blue', through to the amazing and exotic tale of Kashka from Baghdad, every song reminds me of my childhood, and brings back great memories. I had the album version years ago and have bought the c.d. However, always sounds better on vinyl! Sounds like a pensioner but it's true! Kate Bush is, in my opinion, a true songwriting artist, and an amazing soul with the best imagination for storytelling ever! Review ID: 10000000007543529 Was this review helpful?
