Split Him Open with Devotion, or: Fifty-Nine Today





The traditional High Egoslavian Holy Day post:
  
Hounds of Love has to be one of my three most listened to albums, and the song cycle of side two (back in the days of album sides, youngsters) unquestionably the one side of music I've listened to more than any other:


you must listen in order like I just did for full kaboom, holyfuck, I love this song:







The line between loving the music and loving the memories the music evokes (and there are ten formative years and three exceptional women - one of whom I'm still married to) when Kate Bush was on the daily soundtrack has long blurred, but she is (has been for decades, since I first heard that voice) one of two permanent members in My Sillyass Desert Island Five Game for both reasons. Lordy, the rush when I first here her voice again after not hearing it for a week. Yes, I post this same post every year.

Requests at my solicitation over the yearsfrom friends davidly, David, symptomatic & K. Thanks. CLICK for LOTS more songs (my apologies if the youtubes have died).

  1. Every song behind every title that has me questioning its long-standing effect pulls me right back in as in a memory but maybe just the same effect as so long ago and everywhere in between. Happy Birthday to everyone.
