I remember where I was the first time I heard this song which was sitting in the living room of Mick Lowe’s house in Braunstone in Leicester at a table in the corner. It was a Thursday night and Marlene (Mick’s wife) was watching ‘Top of The Pops’ on the TV in the corner and Kate Bush came on to sing this song.
As I mentioned previously (see song 10. See You – Depeche Mode) Mick Lowe ran the Western Park Youth Theatre of which I was a member and I was round his house going through some aspects of the latest show and working on a plan at his dining table. Mick Lowe was a truly great man and his drive and energy as well as his massively positive outlook was an inspiration to many especially me. He encouraged me to sing and dance and act and gave me my love of the theatre, which ultimately resulted in my becoming an actor. As a lover of drama my eyes and ears were distracted from what we were doing and drawn to Kate Bush singing ‘The Hounds of Love’ on TOTP. Needless to say I bought the record on Saturday….
Now listen to the song….
