Kate Bush, Breathing
““Breathing” is about a foetus, very much aware of what is going on outside the womb and frightened by nuclear fallout, which implies that the song is set either during a nuclear war scare or a post-apocalyptic birth. The lyrics also refer to the foetus absorbing nicotine from the mother’s smoking. In an interview that year Bush described the song as her “little symphony”, adding that she considered it her best work to date.[2] Bush stated that the information within the song mostly came from a documentary she had seen about the effects of nuclear war, while the tone of the song was inspired by Pink Floyd’s The Wall (side three in particular).[3] The song was recorded over three days in early 1980.”
Do you love Kate Bush as much as I do? Then watch this because it’s so totally ridiculous and beautiful at the same time.
