Hmm, interesting. I don't think it's Kate myself, although I agree her voice sounds quite Kate-like. At first I thought it was her, but repeated hearings made me more and more sure that it wasn't. But if it is her, it certainly isn't her own song. Musically and lyrically, the standard is way below her for inventiveness and originality. The lyrics are pretty trite, and the music follows chordal progressions that any decent musician could write in his sleep. That quirky individuality that we associate with Kate, and that is evident even on her earliest (bootleg) demos, is completely missing. And the arrangement is pretty awful, with that guitar's reverb turned full up. It makes your ears ring. But if it is her doing a cover, I'd have to wonder why she'd cover what is not just a poor song, but an unknown song. Google for it: it doesn't exist. It really doesn't make sense for her to do something so out of style with her own work. And bass-guitarist Del Palmer, who has worked with her closely for 30 years replied to someone on a Kate Bush forum, saying it definitely wasn't her. So as far as I'm concerned, it's settled. But Kate Bush fans too often believe what they want to believe, and there are die-hards who insist it's her, despite what Del says. I just thought it would be interesting to find out what people on this forum thought.
