Kate Bush - 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!

  7. S.... J....

    She is magical. So sweet, melodic, pleasurable and soothing. She is the essence of feminine charm and grace.

  8. S.... J....

    Kate Bush had the loveliest most well proportioned, (x) lips in pop music history.
    • kissable • luscious • thickest • fruitful • dopamine/oxytocin - provoking/triggering • sensual • puckering • sexiest • soup cooling

    S.... J....

    I have never seen a woman who is more beautiful then Kate

    M.... A....

  17. M.... A....

    Think the guitarist is using a Chorus guitar pedal to get that great effect

  18. M.... A....

    Oh man i'm a guitarist and the chords in this song take me to another level emotionally

    G.... N....

    I'm from the US and grew up listening to her!

    G.... N....

    Mattteus great!

    G.... N....

    this southern boy from south mississippi LOVES Kate, owns every album and knows every lyric. Underrated in America indeed tho. We are a rare breed.

  31. P.... C....

    trop joli , j'adore

  32. l.... f....

    A true modern time goddess...thank you Kate for everything.

  33. l.... ....

    Warning to those who couple visual images to great songs: (Noticed first when music videos became common, MTV years) ; Music like little other art forms has the ability to enable one's mind to soar to their most magickal places, most deeply sentimental parts of their lives, most important turning points. Some of the music YouTube videos bring together great songs with visual montages, videos, and homemade animated sequences. I find that the least dangerous of these is just to show the music creator performing. But some of the videos and other visual art will displace one from the magic the music propels one towards. It rudely grounds one in the ordinary, that world that the song, just by itself, allows escape from. This particular montage is also of the non-blocking kind for me. Others I have seen require me to turn them off and seek another YouTube with the same song that does not stop my mental travel. If the visual does not match the quality of the audio in kind and content, the effect is usually to block the amazing mental travel such a song has capability to grant to the listener who loves a given song. Pls spare the visual unless you are equal to the task, and verify the greatness of the visual among many persons who love the particular song. If such were done, the visual might enhance instead of block the song's intrinsic capabilities it has the potential to bring forth.

  34. P.... C....

    Ma préférée de Kate Bush

  35. S.... D....

    i remember the single released long ago in canada ... it was a blue translucent vinyl 45rpm disk! :D

  36. P.... T....

    Troppo brava!

  37. P.... H....

    This is one of my mood songs because the chords and vocals set a definite mood-whistful and nostalgic for another era.

    P.... H....

    To me thats the whole Lionheart album

  38. R.... S....

    subscribing because there are few things I need more than music by Kate Bush accompanied by slide shows of pictures of Kate Bush

  39. H.... R....

    love this🌹

  40. M.... M....

    Anyone got the picture of Kate in front of the flowers? 2:50

    M.... M....

    Yes, here it is:

    http://images.yuku.com.s3.amazonaws.com/image/jpg/46878151cc40419695aa2ddab41f0547.jpg

    The picture was taken when Kate visited Japan in 1978.

    M.... M....

    @Symphonyofflowers Thanks!

  41. B.... ....

    One of my favourites Kate. It's so special. Thank you

  42. A.... I....

    I can't think of any other artist who captures your soul like Kate can, not even Bowie, Lennon, Hendrix or Siouxsie. She's absolutely divine.

    A.... I....

    Lol, I understand why some Kate fans like her but still a no no.

    A.... I....

    I agree. She's the top. Elisabeth Fraser from Cocteau Twins and Björk manage to create a wonderful fantasy world, too, but I think Kate's the best.

    A.... I....

    idk if she is better than bowie, but for me shes definitely the only other artist i know that comes to the same level of bowie

    A.... I....

    I completely agree.

  43. s.... 2....

    the more I think about sex the better it gets.I think about her all the time.

    s.... 2....

    +James Stringer There's rarely a morning I don't think of her first

    s.... 2....

  57. A.... F....

    I have been a fan of Kate since the beginning. Her songs are beautiful, as is her voice. Her lyrics are truly amazing. They really make her songs.

  58. P.... M....

    to the one who asked Kate's age on writing this..she was 17/18 some songs from the kick inside were penned at 16

    P.... M....

    Some even younger 12 years old she started writing..😊

  59. B.... B....

    I <3 KATE.
    When did she actually write this song? How old was she? Thank you.
    THANK YOU KATE!

    B.... B....

    Beelze Bub a child

  60. A.... S....

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

  61. N.... ....

    Couldn't care less if this and Duran Duran are considered " girly " music. Listen to what I bloody well like thanks very much : )

  62. J.... G....

    no one's better than her, so, that's just how things are

    J.... G....

    Jesse G Thank you "Dear Jessie"..for awsome and gracious commentary💓😘

  63. m.... p....

    The sea and the sky!

  64. A.... H....

    I boughht Lionheart first, although I'd heard The Kick Inside when I was only 9. The songs are more seductive on the 2nd album, like Kashka From Baghdad and In The Warm Room.

    A.... H....

    Andy Harper kaska from Bagdad is my favorite song to sing ...Kashka and his lover "know how to be HAPPY"

  65. A.... C....

    That blue costume doesn't do a thing for K.B. Please wear something that doesn't doesn't look like I made it. You know the human female form is the ultimate for beauty; and it should be shown but not in a pornographic way. I say that from an purely aesthetic view. Kate is beautiful to me as the lithsomeness & coat of the snow leopard the 2nd most beautiful creature in EternalCreator's creation.

  66. C.... ....

    What I always or often read in the comments here, especially hear in the old interviews or shows on UK TV : "She is such a talented Lady........", makes me angry.
    KATE BUSH IS A MUSICAL GENIUS, NO LESS!!! (From the very first day, where she took place in front of a piano.)
    I think, that many people, also in UK, have understood it late !

  67. b.... ....

    Here we have a purpose in life:
    Good for the blood circulation,
    Good for releasing the tension.

    Sublime lyrics.

    b.... ....

    bassethound1 "the more I think about sex.the better its gets..("good for the blood circulation"..good for the reese invitation"The root of All Reincarnation....

  68. q.... ....

    Symphony, your videos get even more beautiful with the enlarged screen ! :)
    I particularly enjoy the second part of this present video, from the lyrics "I associate love with Red".. ;)
    You may have some rare blue flowers in your bunch as you were really inspired again.
    Sincere cheers :))

    q.... ....

    quitterier I associate Red with Love..

    q.... ....

    I associate..Love with Red the color of my 💓...but she's dead".....the more i think about sex the better it gets
