Kate Bush - Blow Away (For Bill) video free download
A beautiful song from the album "Never for Ever". The song is dedicated to her lighting engineer Bill Duffield, who died in a tragic accident at Poole Arts Centre on April 2, 1979.
Lyrics:
One of the band told me last night
That music is all that he's got in his life.
So where does it go?
Surely not with his soul.
Will all of his licks and his R'n'B
Blow away?
Blow away
Blow away
Our engineer had a different idea
From people who nearly died but survived,
Feeling no fear of leaving their bodies here,
And went to a room that was soon full of visitors.
Hello Minnie, Moony, Vicious, Vicious, Buddy Holly, Sandy Denny.
Please don't thump me,
Don't bump me,
Don't dump me back there.
Please don't thump me,
Don't bump me,
I want to stay here.
Put out the light, then, put out the light.
Vibes in the sky invite you to dine.
Dust to dust,
Blow to blow.
Bolan and Moony are heading the show tonight.
Hello Minnie, Moony, Vicious, Vicious,
Buddy Holly, Sandy Denny.
Please don't thump me,
Don't bump me,
Don't dump me back there.
Please don't thump me,
Don't bump me,
I want to stay here.

Wow. I'm a pro psychic and until I saw the lyrics I didn't get what this song is really about. I use Kate's music while I Blog. Ouch. She is my Muse. What can I say. I never stop learning. I'ld use this as an opportunity to promote my blog but that would be really stupid. Anyway, you don't have to be a true believer to appreciate a great ghost story. Kate is the Shakespeare of pop. Rock on sister.11 years ago

You're quite wright! This album was always a bit on the side. This song for instance is so baeutifull, the baseguitar and background vocals give it a dreamy twist ......11 years ago

ok ok. In some odd display of props, I just want to say that back in the 80's not only was Kate Bush gorgeous, but also made thoughtful, different music. Myself, I like to keep my heart, so I won't say anything like I love Kate Bush11 years ago

ah. Leave Ga Ga alone. Why step on her? This is a nice piece, by the "don't look at her too long because she's just 'That' lovely" Kate Bush.11 years ago

NO FUCK CAN COMPARE KATE BUSH TO LADY GAGA. Lady Gaga is a plagiarising slut. Kate Bush is the essence of originality and talent. NO COMPARISON!12 years ago

I do also enjoy the fact that it was her sound engineer (Correct me if I am worng, Symph!) that invented the hands free mike. He took a bendable mike and wrapped around a coat hanger that was used for the headband.12 years ago
