Welcome to another episode of the show this week! This week, it's just Cecilee and we're going into the seventh song on The Sensual World, called Between a Man and a Woman! Listen as we talk about the movie reference that led to this song's genesis (hint: family saga) and talk about the lyrics and, of course, the musical structure! If you're familiar with the song, you know the structure is pretty free-flowing, more than most Kate songs up to this point, so Cecilee goes into the chords and how the structure works with the song's subject!

Happy New Year 2021 (even if it's a month late!) Time to flip over the record and begin side two of The Sensual World. This week, we get to talk about one of Kate's most thought-provoking tracks, especially when listening to it in 2021 as a worldwide pandemic rages on: Deeper Understanding, the sixth song from The Sensual World. And also the first audible appearance of the lovely Trio Bulgarka! We're calling over to Austria this week for a chat with Paul, a Patreon supporter and fellow Kate Bush fan who puts this song as one of their favorites in Kate's canon. Much is discussed this week, as to be expected for a song about mankind's obsession with technology. After all, you're probably listening to this on a portable device like something out of a sci-fi novel!

Merry Christmas to all you loyal listeners of the Strange Phenomena podcast!! We have here a VERY special episode: a discussion AND commentary for the Kate Bush Christmas Special, first broadcast in December 1979!

This week, we're going back to '39, before the music started, to a night when they danced with the devil: Hitler. Heads We're Dancing is the fifth track on The Sensual World, and is one of the more propulsive songs Kate has ever done. It might even be one of the darkest songs she's ever done as well. Author James di Benedetto is on the show this week to talk about this song, which is one of his Kate favorites! We talk about our favorite lyrics, the inspiration of the song (hint: the atomic bomb), and everything else about this seemingly charming but actually quite dark song!
