Yeah, the keyboards strings and vocals have many facets. The Sid Vicious reference makes for a cool chorus.  |

Well I tried it and all I have to say that Kate is one of the very few people whose songs I can listen to 5 times in a row without getting sick of them at all. Blow Away (For Bill) is a brilliant song (as with all the "Never for Ever" album) and the lyrics are extremely touching. One thing I'm not sure of is why she repeats "Vicious" but not any of the other late stars - any ideas? I also wondered if the song is written about Bill or just in memory of him. As with all Kate songs, it got me thinking! I think you should carry on with this board, it's a great idea. I know I disappeared as soon as I got to the boards but I'm in a heavy period of exams at the moment so I don't get online much. I'll make more appearences in the future though I hope I hope the others post here again soon!  |

Thank you SS for single-handedly saving this board for another week or two. I was preparing a made-up list from the unreleased album, just to see if anyone was reading.  Now I have to really go to work. I think 'Blow Away' was written 'For' Bill* and because of Bill, but as a tribute to artists who share the spirit and love of music, as well as the lifestyle. Secondly, to address your other question; I believe that "Viscious" is repeated twice purely for the alliteration. But, as I do on occasion, Ms.Bush has my invitation to give us her reasons. * Bill Duffield, lighting technician accidentally killed in a fall while rigging for one of Kate's concert's. |

Awww it's so sad Did you all read the full article thing about exactly what happened? It was nice to dedicate a song in his memory too  |

I could listen to most of Kate's songs repeatedly. 'Symphony in Blue' 'Mother Stands for Comfort' are two others that like 'Blow Away' are even more haunting when listened to over and over again. The phrasing, the instruments, and her mesmerizing voice combine as an intoxicant. |
