Bush, Kate - Symphony In Blue Lyrics






I spent a lot of my time looking at blue,
The colour of my room and my mood:
Blue on the walls, blue out of my mouth;
The sort of blue between clouds, when the sun comes out,
The sort of blue in those eyes you get hung up about.

When that feeling of meaninglessness sets in,
Go blowing my mind on God:
The light in the dark, with the neon arms,
The meek He seeks, the beast He calms,
The head of the good soul department.

I see myself suddenly
On the piano, as a melody.
My terrible fear of dying
No longer plays with me,
for now I know that I'm needed
For the symphony.

I associate love with red,
The colour of my heart when she's dead;
Red in my mind when the jealousy flies,
Red in my eyes from emotional ties,
Manipulation, the danger signs.

The more I think about sex, the better it gets.
Here we have a purpose in life:
Good for the blood circulation,
Good for releasing the tension,
The root of our reincarnations.

I see myself suddenly
On the piano, as a melody.
My terrible fear of dying
No longer plays with me,
for now I know that I'm needed
For the symphony.

I spent a lot of my time looking at blue--
No wonder that I blue it!

  55. B.... B....

    Genius.  <3

  56. A.... S....

    genius - genius - genius - from the queen of music here to reign over us

  57. c.... f....

    this song is not performed live. she's seen using a dynamic mic, but she's obviously more concerned with mugging for the camera than directing her voice towards a dynamic microphone's narrow field of sensitivity, and the sound is of a high quality condensor mic (compare with both the singing technique and sound quality of gabriel's "here comes the flood" performance, which is live into a dynamic mic). however i agree with you that i think the tracks were recorded especially for the show.

    c.... f....

    No this isn't live, you can also see she's not playing the piano, she probably felt like she has proven herself on her tour. This was maybe a few months after the tour and we're lucky that Kate decided to record a Christmas Special instead of resting, which she earned.

    c.... f....

    christopher fujino Oh shut up !

    c.... f....

    Music shows in those days weren’t generally live. There was no time for retakes or set up. That’s not the performer’s choice - this was light entertainment in the 70s.

  58. m.... ....

    i do love a chrimbus special

  59. B.... ....

    amazing vocal on this live clip

  60. B.... L....

    Thank you for putting this up. It is a beautiful and inspiring rendition, and I've watched it many times to revive my spirits. Ben, of London Lo-Fi...thanks

  61. S.... M....

    couldntveputitbettermyself...

  62. h.... ....

    the cardigans first band on the moon, i forget the song but same melody

  63. A.... J....

    I don't think that it beats the album version, it doesn't even come close... but have mercy one me, Kate! I'm begging you.

  64. b.... ....

    It's so good to "get" Kate Bush.

    Love, love, love, her.

  65. S.... O....

    Shakira used the intro of this song in this performance!
    watch?v=KbLhxFHbObE&feature=relmfu

  66. I.... ....

    @weemalky She has a keyboardist in the background, maybe that's why the piano track plays before she does? I've seen a similar thing happen in Alicia Keys performances, where she performs a certain song in which she doesn't play piano until towards the end of the song, and before she even sits at the piano, you can already hear the piano playing. It happens in literally EVERY performance of the song, not just one instance, and she does have a keyboardist as well.

  67. W.... ....

    @weemalky thanks for noticing, Wee. :-) Just watching it again (and noticing the non-playing Kate as well as the unrealistic unwavering lead vocal track) it struck me that the background vocals are all Kate (as on the album). That means this could not have been live at all. It would likely have been too difficult to have *just* the backup vocals on tape and everything else live. With all due respect to Lisa at the fan club, I think she's mistaken on this one.

  68. r.... ....

    what does kate sing at the end? lol :

  69. a.... ....

    It continues to amaze me how she makes everything she sings seem like heaven or otherwise just extremely cool. Like most people from the States, I discovered Kate in 1984 when "Hounds of Love" came out. I immediately bought all of her previous records and was even more blown away by the unique and ingenius songs, one after another without so much as a mediocre tune to be found. Consistently amazing stuff that I still listen to frequently, and probably always will. It's almost spiritual.

  70. W.... ....

    Hi Symphony. I won't beleaguer the point any more than this. In my ex-professional opinion (I was a recording and radio engineer, live sound reinforcement engineer, and musician/performer) this video of Symphony in Blue is most definitely not live. The vocals are too smooth for one thing. She moves back and forth on the mic, but there is no change whatsoever in the volume or tone of her voice. Also in the very opening bar when the piano comes in, it doesn't match what she is playing. Watch it!

  71. W.... ....

    Being a huge KB fan since the beginning - but never having seen this before - and after watching some of the others from this special, I have come to the conclusion that this is *not* a live musical performance but the songs are also *not* the album versions.

    I'm convinced the songs were either re-recorded for this special - or (more likely because the sound is so similar to the album) they were alternate takes or remixes from the original sessions.

  72. R.... ....

    "lionheart " is a truly classic album.i love to listen to it on vinyl equipped with a glass of red.....god bless you kate.a total genius.you are in my heart...thanks for posting this

  73. r.... ....

    she is my platonic love

    r.... ....

    Me too!

  74. W.... ....

    Definitely a 5 star performance!

  75. k.... ....

    this is so the album version... why not live. i hate that...

  76. b.... ....

    ive got the whole of this show on dvd. it's really good quality - better than this even :)

  77. s.... ....

    Wonderful...truly

  78. C.... ....

    Thanks so much "Symphonyofflowers"!

  79. W.... ....

    I just can't stop listening to this song!
    It's so beautifull!!
    Great Kate!

  80. A.... G....

    She is great, here in Brasil only one singer was as good as Kate and that singer is Elis Regina...

  81. V.... ....

    its definetly live and its wonderful

  82. R.... B....

    I cannot tell you how this song speaks to my soul...it's just so beautiful! The chorus is righteous beyond belief. Just another reason to reaffirm my absolute LOVE of Kate!!

  83. M.... P....

    AMAZING version of the song. Not much different to the impeccamble album version, but with a charming intro and a little more punch to the drums! Thanx for uploading it!

  84. a.... ....

    wait, so is she 20 years old in these xmas specials? So amazing... so talented !!

  85. J.... M....

    so freakin' gorgeous it hurts. that smile at the end is pure magic.

    i know lionheart was rushed but it's still a great record. her worst beats other people's best anytime.
