My personal opinion is that it is the best song of the last century, with its rhythm changes and crossover elements. However, I wonder how the staccato element (Galileo) would sound on an organ.pinball1970 said:The sign of a great song, you can play it on anything and it will still sound amazing.
Flute is pretty staccato on an organ. It's been a whilefresh_42 said:My personal opinion is that it is the best song of the last century, with its rhythm changes and crossover elements. However, I wonder how the staccato element (Galileo) would sound on an organ.

Yes, I know my Kate! She was an unparalleled genius at 18. She could write, play, sing and choreograph. All of those things being unique, creative and long lasting. The stuff she wrote as a 15 year old, sang as 16 year old, danced/performed as a 19 year old are still amazing today.Hornbein said:Kate Bush invented the modern pop show, with lots of dance and costumes and no band on the stage. Remember that dance Madonna did with men in trench coats? Kate did it first, and didn't lip sync. You have to be both young and in great shape to do that.

I liked this song when I was a kid (1966). Still do. The AEON department stores in Japan play songs from this era over their PA systems, a nice bonus.

It's funny, as I read your post I am sat in a bar in Manchester, they are playing 1990s music everywhere including Oasis because of the gigs here.fresh_42 said:A propos Herman's Hermits. My absolute favorite song by them is "Into Something Good," mainly because I sometimes use it as an antidepressant. It has zero side effects, and I'm not a Tibetan monk who could possibly manage his moods by self-control
I remember when I once sat in a cocktail bar in the 90s, at a time when many cover songs came up. The youngsters often didn't know that they were covers. Anyway. I found myself and the guy next to me singing along when he said to me: "You must be careful these days what you sing along. It reveals our age."pinball1970 said:It's funny, as I read your post I am sat in a bar in Manchester, they are playing 1990s music everywhere including Oasis because of the gigs here.
A track came on and it totally sent me under, memories, nice ones, they can be worse than bad ones. Thirty years, my brain has still not healed and I don't have a time machine, so I have to take these moments of extreme sadness and find something uplifting instead.

from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evil_Woman_(Crow_song)#Black_Sabbath_version
Covered in 1969 by Black Sabbath and released in England as the band's first single on 2 January 1970, the song also appeared on the original version of the band's self-titled debut album, although it was replaced by its B-side, "Wicked World", on the later, American versions of the album. When the band's debut album started to become successful in the UK, the single was re-released on 26 March 1970.
