"Wuthering Heights" by Kate Bush

<p>Heathcliff! It's us, it's Strong Songs, we've come home!</p> <p>The time has come for a deep dive into the music of the great Kate Bush, and what better song to analyze than her breakthrough 1978 hit, "Wuthering Heights." This song has it all - odd phrasing, shifting key centers, soaring vocals, character narration, an epic guitar solo, a red dress, and a celesta.</p> <p><strong>Written by:</strong> Kate Bush</p> <p><strong>Album:</strong> <em>The Kick Inside</em> (1978)<em><br /></em></p> <p><strong>Listen/Buy:</strong> <a href= "https://music.apple.com/us/album/the-kick-inside/726230233">Apple Music</a> | <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Kick-Inside-Kate-Bush/dp/B000006U44">Amazon</a> | <a href= "https://open.spotify.com/album/5NKTuBLCYhN0OwqFiGdXd1">Spotify</a></p> <p><strong>ALSO FEATURED/DISCUSSED:</strong></p> <ul> <li>“James and the Cold Gun” and “The Man with the Child in His Eyes” by Kate Bush from <em>The Kick Inside</em>, 1978</li> <li>“Sat In Your Lap” and “The Dreaming” by Kate Bush from <em>The Dreaming</em>, 1982</li> <li>“Running Up That Hill” by Kate Bush from <em>Hounds of Love</em>, 1985</li> <li>Richard Buskin's 2004 <em>Sound on Sound</em> article about the writing and recording of "Wuthering Heights" - <a href= "https://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/classic-tracks-kate-bush-wuthering-heights"> https://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/classic-tracks-kate-bush-wuthering-heights</a></li> <li>The 1886 remake/remix of "Wuthering Heights"</li> <li>Kate Bush's iconic Red Dress music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BW3gKKiTvjs</li> <li>Noel Fielding's incredible live reenactment of the Red Dress video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=du4uH1fC9B8</li> <li>“The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky from <em>The Nutcracker Suite</em>, 1892 performed by the Vienna Philharmonic, 1999</li> <li>“Starman” by David Bowie from <em>The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars</em>, 1972</li> <li>“Mr. Blue Sky” by Electric Light Orchestra from <em>Out of the Blue
