I have just been listening to some KB music. Nothing strange about that as I listen to some of her music most days. What is strange is that something got me thinking. I still find her music to be the most beautiful in the world and a song that I have heard a thousand times before can still touch me so deep inside. As I have said on here in the past 'Oh England my lionheart' still makes me cry if I listen to it properly (I mean if I am sitting down listening to it rather than doing something else and it comes on) but there are so many other Kate songs that touch me so deep inside. I love many different types of music (Kate, Gary Numan, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, David Bowie) But it's only Kates music that makes me feel like this. Does everyone else feel like this after hearing her music so often? You would think that after so many years and so many listens the magic would wear off but it does not. I'm not really explaining myself very well but I think that if you feel like I do about Kates music you will know what I mean. I could ramble on about this for ages but I will shut up now!! I just felt the need to tell you all how I feel. Hope you don't mind

I understand exactly what you mean! It's hard to explain to anyone else, who doesn't feel it, but I think that why we're all here, at least the ones who register and post sometimes. You can't really explain it in a word or a sentence. And it's a different feeling for each one of us, but the same . We post and converse here trying to get at the heart of it, why we never tire of her music. Is it the lyrics (Deeper Understanding), or the musical & thematic connections (Moments of Pleasure), or the fun (Trivia and Eat the Music)? Her music is all very simliar (I mean not like artists who change their style with whatever is hip), but is a never ending discovery of something new. Or the bizarre fact that we have all come together through Kate Bush, but have other common viewpoints and interests as well. I also could go on, but I think Al' would probably like to pick up where I'm leaving it, since he also has similiar feelings. And I think this is what MT/Neo means in his fascination with the mystical relations of all of this. Personally, I'm here to "ride the music" and see where it takes me and enjoying it for all it's worth!

Unlike message boards thay only scratch the surface of what's behind the music; this board unites people who are passionate about art and the existential experiences we share because of the inspiration of Kate Bush. That's the reason it is listed as the "Top Message Board" for Kate Bush fans (See iq451 music directory) We do have it all. Influences, song meanings, trivia...more than that we have decent articulate people, whom are accepting of the thoughts and opinions of others. So if you are a guest, do not feel uncomfortable posting here. You'll be respected and your voice will be heard. So join us and learn more about Kate, and the worlds she can open for you.

I like to believe we are very welcoming to those who are genuinely interested in sharing here. I have tried boards for other topics, and I have found either the organization is poorly managed or overwhelming, or the main posters are not really interested in welcoming the ideas of others. Some even are rude if they feel challenged by other fans! Then some boards just scare me with their obsessive/compulsive threads!!
