Running Up The Hill
Running up the hill is the first single from the hounds of love album, it was number 3 on the UK billboards and it was also Kates largest single in America. This song is based on a story of a person who has been extremely hurt from past relationships so he/she wants his/her present lover to feel the same pain he/she is feeling. This song is about pain, sorrow, fear, and broken hearts. Kate uses a skittish synth to define the riff and the beginning of the introduction including the instant drum machine. Later on in the track the electric guitar is included with her unique voice. she has also used multi track to vocals to define the melody even more.
Hounds of Love
The phrase 'its in the trees,its coming', is a sample from horror movie Night of the Demon. Its uniquely sounding synth and the aggressive pounds from the electric big drums begins the whole piece. bass guitar, and multi-tracked vocals are used in the chorus. Hounds of Love is a single and also the title track of the album called Hounds of Love. The song is about fear and the danger to fall in love, in the song they give this comparison to being chased by a pack of hounds. This song is directed by Kate Bush herself and it was also inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's film The 39 steps. In October 2004, Q Magazine placed this song at number 21 in its list of the top 50 greatest British songs of all-time.
Cloudbusting
This song is based on the very close relationship between psychologist and philosopher of Wilhelm Reich and his son Peter. It gives a vague description of Peter memories as a child at the farm
The lyric further explain how Wilhelm Reich's sudden arrest and imprisonment affected young Peter because of not only the pain he was feeling but how he felt useless not being to help his father. Cloudbusting is a rain-making process which includes pointing at the sky, This machine was designed by machine built by Reich. Released as the second single from the album on 14 October. 1985.Duncan MacKay introduced the synthesizer, Fender Rhodes, Prophet and harpsichord in the song. Kate used the synthesizer in particular because it was part of the new technology at the time. Cloudbusting is a heavily sampled piece that Kate arrange with the Farlight CMI. Bush’s vocals are delicate and soft which are layered over the piano chords. Sampled sound effects distant seagulls and disconnected voices.
