Passing through air You mix the stars with your arms Walking through there The doom of eternity balms Skies of grey are not today Oh don't you throw my love away I need your loving, I need your loving Oh don't you pour down rain today I need your love, I need your care So much, So much, So much
Laughing through smiles You lick my love with the years Walking for miles You cool my brow with your tears Skies of grey are not today

This thread seemed so lonely with no responses. However, it was the last thread needed to be brought in to the new year. Do you think the simplicity and pop vibe of this number make it less interesting than her other work?

I like this song, but i do think it's less interesting then her other work, that's why i think she put it as a b-side

I love this song, it's so ,I don't know, but happy, and jolly: I love it. I wish she had done loads like this, it doesn't sound like Kate, but you know it just fits, I really love it.
Late reply but i have finally bought TWW, £75, so worth it.

Off topic, but looking at the dates for the replies on here, there seems to be a trend happening

Although, it could be classed as her only officially mixed and released demo track, and I'm guessing it was included at the behest of Dave Gilmour. But I could be wrong about that. Like I said, just a guess.

I thought it sounded a bit, you know not quite up to the recoding scratch that the rest of them are, but it is still one of my favorites. It is very Phoenix Demo-y, I think it is rather camp, it's very happy. Love it to bits.
and I always thought that Kate allowed/wanted her early work to be realized, I can't imagine her every unwillingly allowing work to escape her protective circle.

That's because it was recorded at Dave Gilmour's house, just after Kate had turned 15. So it's a little time before she went into a proper studio.

My god, 15 and recording in David Gilmour's house, now that must have been very (I can't think of the word it's like weird, but it begins with an S, and no, it's not strange, I'm sure you'll know what I'm talking about) weird. But I would have thought that she'd have been bothered to do a proper recording, we know what a perfectionist she can be.

This song makes me think her and Dave did something before they recorded the song... Dirty Dave she was a minor!!

Are you suggesting that our heroine was actually a teen groupie?

I'm sure Kate would never do such a thing, I think . And that was the word, it refused to come for a whole day. And now I can't hear this song without that popping into my head. It gets worse with such lyrics as " Oh don't you pour down rain today", in the song it could take on a more than weird meaning.

Kate Bush - Passing Through Airwww.youtube.com/watch?v=TgQUZcwd-JQ"Passing Through Air": Production and Engineering: Dave Gilmour. Recorded in 1973 on a sunny afternoon at Dave's.Passing through air. You mix the stars with your arms. Walking through there. The doom of eternity balms. Skies of grey, Are not today.

Laughing through smiles. You lick my love with the years. Walking for miles. You cool my brow with your tears. Skies of grey, Are not today.
Oh! Don't you throw my love away, I need your loving, I need your loving, I ... Oh! Don't you pour down rain today, I need your love, I need your care So much, so much, so much!

Are not today.It is very difficult to know how fully developed Kate's art was by 1972. The earliest Kate Bush recording which fans can give a solid date to is "Passing Through Air". But this recording belongs to a _second_ group of demos. Recorded in the summer of 1973, at which time Kate was either fourteen or fifteen years old, "Passing Through Air" was a result of her first recording session with a band. This track was recorded at David Gilmour's home studio, under his direction, along with an unspecified number of other original Kate Bush compositions, including a song which Kate has never publicly given a title, but which fans have come to refer to as "Maybe". <N.B.: Some confusion has arisen by the similarity in title between "Maybe"--which may once have had an alternate title, "Davey"--and a solo-piano demo recording of a song which has come to be known as "While Davey Dozed", or sometimes simply "Davey". The two songs are completely different.> Following the rejection of the thirty-song solo demo-tapes (ca. '72-73), family friend Ricky Hopper made contact with David Gilmour (of Pink Floyd), whom he had known during his student years at Cambridge University. Gilmour listened first to some of the solo recordings, and then had Kate perform for him in person. To his great credit, he was impressed. He arranged a rehearsal with Kate at his own home.
With drummer Peter Perrier, bassist Pat Martin (both members of the group Unicorn) and Gilmour himself on electric guitar, Kate, singing and playing piano, recorded simple demo recordings of several of her own songs (probably a dozen or more), among which were the versions of "Passing Through Air" and the so-called "Maybe" which fans know today.
(Kate has never released the latter song officially, but she did play an excerpt of it during an appearance on a British radio programme.)Love-Houndswww.talisman.org/~erlkonig/KT/authoritative/KTa-musiclist.txt
