- 'December Will Be Magic Again' Kate Bush "December Will Be Magic Again" - Christmas Special 1979. Released in 1980, this one-off single was a Christmas-themed track that should have been a bigger hit at the time.
- Wuthering Heights (The Kick Inside, 1978) Every year on the singer’s birthday, July 30, fans celebrate The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever by recreating Bush’s dance routine in the iconic red dress from the music video.
- The Saxophone Song (The Kick Inside, 1978) Damian Wilson: “Her beautiful freedom within melody and the sensuality of her work simply captured me. The uplifting bursts still never cease to remind me of the excitement I felt when I first heard it.
- The Man With The Child In His Eyes (The Kick Inside, 1978) Steve Hogarth, Marillion: “I’m all about the lyrics, of course, and whenever I hear this song, I think of my dear departed dad tucking me in when I was small.
- Symphony In Blue (Lionheart, 1978) Conrad Keely, …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead: “Something about the lyrics suggested an inquisitive mind describing the effects of synaesthesia, where colours evoke moods and sounds: ‘Blue, the colour of my room and my mood.’
- Hounds Of Love. (from Hounds Of Love, 1985) Kate runs headlong from love and right into its clutches. No matter how refined the circumstances of its creation – built at leisure in Bush’s new 48-track studio – or how newfangled its production – still tangible in the hi-tech stabs and pads of Fairlight, and the crispness of Jonathan Williams’ cello – Hounds Of Love is red in tooth and claw, its breathless, atavistic fear of capture mixed with almost supernatural rapture.
- Wuthering Heights. (from The Kick Inside, 1978) Taking Brontë onto TOTPs and launching an oeuvre. A hit song that bypassed the prevailing genre staples – disco, MOR, punk/new wave, pap pop – for the singular realm of peculiarity and particularity.
- Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) (from Hounds Of Love, 1985) Mood-pop gender-swapping and a contract with the Godhead. Running Up That Hill’s appearance in Stranger Things’s series finale beamed Bush into the consciousness of thousands of minds previously unaware of her singular genius.
- This Woman’s Work. (from The Sensual World, 1989) Her greatest ballad, written to order for John Hughes’ film She’s Having A Baby. The emotions seeping from this ‘childbirth crisis’ are almost unbearable as Bush abandons symbolism for a direct hit of primal fear.

Released as part of the 1980s effort Never for Ever, the album had a lot to live up to.

It produced a fantastic record, on which ‘Breathing’...
Following on from her debut LP, Lionheartwas always going to struggle commercially. Bush’s debut record had set a high standard, and it’s only on a few songs that Bush really leapt over the pop music bar that had been set. But, there’s no doubt that ‘Hammer Horror’ is one of them. Using Bush’s eccentric style to make the opera of her thoughts come ...

The track is written about the relationship betwe...
