Bush, Kate - Deeper Understanding Lyrics






As the people here grow colder
I turn to my computer
And spend my evenings with it
Like a friend.

I was loading a new programme
I had ordered from a magazine:

"Are you lonely, are you lost?
This voice console is a must."
I press Execute.

"Hello, I know that you've been feeling tired.
I bring you love and deeper understanding.
Hello, I know that you're unhappy.
I bring you love and deeper understanding."

Well I've never felt such pleasure.
Nothing else seemed to matter.
I neglected my bodily needs.

I did not eat, I did not sleep,
The intensity increasing,
'Til my family found me and intervened.

But I was lonely, I was lost,
Without my little black box.
I pick up the phone and go, Execute.

"Hello, I know that you've been feeling tired.
I bring you love and deeper understanding.
Hello, I know that you're unhappy.
I bring you love and deeper understanding."

I turn to my computer like a friend.
I need deeper understanding.
Give me deeper understanding.

Bush, Kate Deeper Understanding Comments
  1. J.... M....

    What version is this? Wheres the original

  2. L.... W....

    That’s her son Bertie’s autotuned voice as the Computer.

  3. V.... F....

    its sad how she chose to make a video for the worst version possible of this song

  4. D.... ....

    Is that Noel Fielding? :O

  5. J.... B....

    Not better than original one, with Kate's voice warmer, and including a splendid chorus :
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVU6eFBvQ0g

  6. r.... ....

    I like this reinterpretation of her own song but it’s not as divine as the original. I like to think of this one as a sequel to the original... when the relationship with the computer becomes toxic and stagnant.

    I love the effect of the vocoder during the chorus a lot... and the vocal glitches. I feel like the song could’ve worked better if the drums were taken out, imo.

  7. a.... s....

    This version is so bad

  8. e.... g....

    Kate is now an artificial intelligence

  9. M.... T....

    Robbie featured briefly on another kate track...anyone know?

  10. T.... ....

    Bee and puppycat : )

  11. F.... G....

    Please never stop the music , we need you in this world Kate.

  12. W.... H....

    I don't get it. I must be stupid.

  13. M.... B....

    Great video! And totally applies to today obviously.

  14. T.... ....

    ... and then?
    It's good bye I guess...

  15. A.... ....

    She definitely lifted a little bit of "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" when writing this melody.

  16. J.... D....

    Fantastic video to this great song.

  17. a.... s....

    god bless palace

  18. J.... O....

    On August 23, 1991, the World Wide Web was opened to the public...the internet age we know it began...but Kate Bush was prescient as she wrote this in 1989. She has a deep understanding of the human condition.

  20. C.... ....

    ale miałaś ciężko Koleżanko :(

    C.... ....

    app google ad blockers free works great sick ads

  22. D.... S....

    I had a course in grad school from Walter J. Ong, who wrote "Orality and Literacy," the thesis of which is that societies that transfer information through folk-tales and songs perceive reality in a way radically different from the way literate societies perceive it. He was a friend of Marshall McCluhan, who predicted that the development of electronic communications would create a global village, and a new mentality to live in it. The results might not be at all pleasant. Unfortunately, they're turning out to be right.

  23. S.... P....

    There was a Canadian anthology series called The Hitchhiker back in the 80's. One episode, Code Liz, starred Marc Singer (from V) addicted to a Videotex/simulated woman resulting in similar alienation, detachment and deadly consequences. The similarities are very close. I wonder if there was a common inspiration.

  24. M.... B....

    yep we are never going die, going be to be ultimately taken over by technology and plugged in and become BORG. Technology will never let us sleep, will never let us die, never let us hold human skin. Thats why I follow the Future of Life Institute on Twitter.Max is going to save us all.

  25. t.... ....

    She put out some rubbish in her time,

  26. S.... C....

    It's nostalgic to even begin to think of lady Kate Bush as a mother etc....but allow me to say, i deeply understand this woman's work...everytime i see her early interviews I find myself in love with a beautiful innovator, but i discover a brand new person . Deeper understanding indeed! Always exist Kate Bush, please, this world really needs you....oh darling...be stubborned. And never go away....

  27. y.... ....

    Her son Bertie's voice as the computer...

  28. k.... ....

    I didnt know she still made music!!!

  29. D.... H....

    this is me. my beginning and my ending. I love you little black box!!!!!!

  30. C.... W....

    yes I´m lost, deep in space.

  31. J.... K....

    Amazing Kate you are the best

  32. C.... N....

    Back to the Future near 40 jears ago

  33. L.... W....

    Kate bush and vocaloloid. Love this

  34. R.... P....

    I must admit that I prefer the original arrangement of this song~~

  35. J.... S....

    Turn it off and go the pub.but then again all the pubs are closing down...as are the shops..the death of face to face personal communication. Thank god for goodly movements that naturally rise against! x

  36. E.... D....

    Hey its Noel!!!

  37. M.... C....

    This musical upgrade serves as an improved soundtrack to the accompanying video, which itself communicates the plot most effectively. Even though old fans are familiar with the original arrangement, this version is a worthwhile adaptation & will likely catch on famously.

  38. H.... t....

    i'd like to know who's at the bass guitar....maybe Tony Levin ??

  39. A.... M....

    The original was SO much better. I love Kate, but I'm sorry, I really hate this re-make.

  40. m.... ....

    Hagrid has never been the same, after being exiled to muggle world...

  41. �.... �....

    Romantic industrial!

  42. S.... D....

    Noel fielding and Kate Bush are both queens.

  44. L.... G....

    holy shit Hagrid killed Noel !Kate Bush is just a magnificent artist !

  45. J.... C....

    Whether you "prefer" this rendition or the original - this version undeniably gets the point across much more saliently.

  46. H.... A....

    That's a creepy-looking mouth.

  47. V.... t....

    How weird, your comment on my ‘favorite Christmas carol’ landed in spam....

  48. P.... L....

    People say Courtney Love's voice is damaged... don't smoke dope kids, not if you want your voice to start sounding like shit on toast.

  49. H.... T....

    "I was loading a new program I had ordered from a magazine" is the only thing that's 1989. Great song, but I prefer the version that's on The sensual World

  50. C.... I....

    I honestly wayyyy prefer this version than the old one the poignancy of the song never really struck me until I heard this version. The creepy computerized-voice during the chorus really fits the theme and tone of the song perfectly and I like to think that this is how Kate originally imagined the song in her head when she was writing it (but technology in 1989 didn't permit to put such a voice in a song)

    Just my opinion of course.

  51. Z.... M....

    Richmond's been hung up on a peg! Should have stayed behind the red door.

  52. g.... ....

    This is what we’re made to listen to at porn addicts anonymous.

  53. C.... M....

    Visionária mesmo viu, música escrita nos 80 e com uma crítica tão atual, isso sim é artista de verdade.

  54. I.... ....

    This would have never happened if they had just let Hagrid on Great British Bakeoff to begin with.

    Kate Bush - Deeper Understanding - Official Video (6:31)

  56. l.... i....

    oh KATE ¡

  57. l.... i....

    KATE BUSH IS HIGH ART

  58. C.... s....

    Great Album.... The sensual world..... Track 1.6.11....

  59. G.... W....

    There’s only one magnificent Kate Bush 💜

  60. A.... ....

    WOWsers😮😮😮

  61. L.... B....

    I prefer her LP version.

  62. I.... ....

    Love the original so much but this creates much more atmosphere and conveys the meaning of the song far more.

  63. D.... H....

    So awful. The original was so much better. Still love Kate Bush, though.

  64. T.... C....

    I prefer the original, but I'm glad this exists - along with "Director's Cut". Shows she cares about the art to re-evaluate it. People here are so dramatic.

  65. D.... K....

    I don't like it, the chorus on the original is much more powerful...I need deeper understanding of why this was done.

    D.... K....

    Yes - this version is just bizarre! I've never heard it before!

    D.... K....

    I know! The original chorus had an angelic sound; perfect. This one is such a comedown 😑

    D.... K....

    @Norwegian ForestCat74 kate Bush back then in 80s wanted this chorus to sound like computer, but IT wasnt possible. Now she could do this so this song at last its AS IT shouldve been

    D.... K....

    @Pioneer Nut Well, I have to admit I was surprised with some of her choices on The Director's Cut album. I preferred the original Deeper Understanding and the original Sensual World to what they became later. I thought the angelic sound of the Trio Bulgarka in the original was a perfect symbol for the relief and escape the computer brought this tortured person. The computer sound in the later one just sounded a bit lame and prosaic to me.

  66. T.... ....

    Well, that took a twisted turn. Yeah, I like the older version better, but I can see why she tried to make it sound more like a computer.

  67. M.... C....

    Cringey stuff. Grandma discovers computers. Press execute? ordered from a magazine? Loading a program? What is this 1990?

    M.... C....

    i mean
    this song was written in 1989

  68. m.... ....

    this is sooooo OFF —
    should be heard off of her cd PROPERLY...
    overproduced and looses all of it's heft and soul and gravitas - omg - will NEVER listen to this again...

  69. H.... a....

    OK so this is the version I've been acquainted with first and I like the stripped down simple instruments... the fist version was a little cluttered.....Plus this video has Noel in it.

  70. D.... M....

    I'd forgotten how embarrassingly bad this video is, utterly terrible.

  71. F.... E....

    and the name of that console is.... alexa?

  72. I.... ....

    This was really scary but I couldn't stop watching...

  73. R.... N....

    JORN did an amazing cover of `Running Up That Hill`..........he's a huge fan of hers.

  74. h.... ....

    Did I just watch Hagrid choke Vince Noir to death?

  75. D.... R....

    Wonderful

  76. C.... Z....

    She is pointing that owners of global social networks made their own platforms for playing games with people. It's the spider's web. They posses enough knowledge to make 3D humanoids, looking like real people, making 3D animation too real, that looks creepy. Maybe first version of song is sweet and consoling, but this version is how reality turned to be.

    Seven years took us, willingly entering the game without scrupules, to discover real identities of these"false gods" described in Bible. It was Zuk-Zuk smug personally, with his team, as an army of profi made fake real looking people. Rich people are not unreachable. They are infiltrated incognito everywhere, having a creepy fun. One day their masks will fall, before the whole world, not just before us. We hope, very soon. Money will not help them.

  77. K.... K....

    Vince Noir vs Rubeus Hagrid... Thats a fight I'd watch!

  78. A.... W....

    I love the video - shades of Experiment IV - but I thought the original sounded better.

  79. C.... M....

    Youtube is the perfect home for this music video about online addiction. Although I prefer the vocals on the 1989 album and love its sensuality, this compressed autotune version is somehow more apt for the message it conveys.

  80. I.... M....

    Trying to think of anyone as talented as Kate Bush. Can't.

  81. s.... m....

    WOW MY WORLD RESOLVES AROUND MY COMPUTER

  82. G.... V....

    Rubeus Hagrid

  83. j.... u....

    Clip d avant garde qui retrouve un écho aujourd hui je trouve avec Facebookr et autres somnifères 2.0 ...😉

  84. S.... P....

    The original is 100 times better than this. It has more mystery, finesse and atmosphere. This sounds like a poor cover of a brilliant song. Sometimes one needs to leave things alone when tampering with ones own/someone else's music when it only results in something less than what existed before. If I wanted to experiment with a great song like this I'd do it as a temporary fun thing to do and leave it at that. I definitely wouldn't record it unless it turned out to kick the arse of the original which this totally doesn't do. I love KB but some people idolise her to the point where EVERYTHING she does is PERFECT regardless and they feel like they're being disloyal if they don't drool over absolutely everything she does, which is bullshit. She is MEGA talented and the whole world knows it and loves her for it. If anyone can take differing opinions about their work with good grace, but a healthy 'I'll do what I want' attitude it's Kate Bush.

  85. e.... T....

    released 4/4/2+0+1+1

    .. deeper understanding indeed 🤓

  86. G.... J....

    Didn't need a redo at all. The original was sooooooo prophetic. Who would have known? This sounds ridiculous, but this rerecording sounds dated. The computer "voice" sounds like something from the '70s.

    Kate Bush gives you everything, because she is an artist, inmate artist. She uses all the tools and all the paint in her toolbox

  92. J.... ....

    But oh so relevant today!! Song so ahead of it's time...

  93. M.... P....

  95. R.... ....

    a great depiction of Rupert Murdock's evil media machine.

    G.... i....

    He pretended to be a girl on the internet :O)

    G.... i....

    Don¡t worry, it's jusnt a system hangout.

  97. N.... S....

    I'm probably almost on my own but I prefer this version, the warm analogue recording really lifts it,, the Bulgarian singers are great but didn't really make sense in the context of this particular song on the original, and this video puts an hilarious spin on the songs meaning.
