THE TRUE STORY BEHIND KATE BUSH'S SONG "CLOUDBUSTING"


https://www.amazon.co.uk/Book-Dream...8&qid=1485557329&sr=1-2&keywords=CLOUDBUSTING

"Wilhelm Reich was an Austrian psychiatrist who was trained in Vienna by Sigmund Freud. His work combined Marxism and psychoanalysis to advocate sexual freedom. In the 1930s, Reich came up with the concept of "orgone," a physical energy contained in the atmosphere and in all living matter. The "Cloudbuster" was a device he came up with to manipulate the orgone energy in the atmosphere, which would force clouds to form and bring rain.

The music video, directed by Julian Doyle, was conceived by Terry Gilliam and Kate Bush. The video features Canadian actor Donald Sutherland playing the role of Wilhelm Reich, and Bush playing the part of his young son, Peter.

'"Cloudbusting"…was inspired by a book that I first found on a shelf... It was just calling me from the shelf, and when I read it I was very moved by the magic of it. It's about a special relationship between a young son and his father. The book was written from a child's point of view. His father is everything to him; he is the magic in his life, and he teaches him everything, teaching him to be open-minded and not to build up barriers' - Kate Bush

This famous book, the inspiration behind Kate Bush's 1985 hit song 'Cloudbusting', is the extraordinary account of life as friend, confidant and child of the brilliant but persecuted Austrian psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich.

Peter, his son, shared with his father the revolutionary concept of a world where dream and reality are virtually indistinguishable, and the sense of mission which set him and his followers apart from the rest of the human race.

Here, Peter Reich writes vividly and movingly of the mysterious experiences he shared with his father: of flying saucers; the 'cloudbuster' rain-makers and the FDA narks; and of the final tragic realization of his father's death, which woke him up to the necessity of living out his life in an alien world.

Already regarded as a modern classic, A Book of Dreams is not only a beautifully written narrative of a remarkable friendship and collaboration, but a loving son's heartfelt tribute to a loving father."



I also think that, judging by this video, Donald Sutherland would have made an awesome Doctor Who!

"You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile" from ANNIE

Here's the version from the 1982 film:


And here's the version from the 1999 film (the movie version that I grew up with):


One of the few songs where I prefer the 1982 rendition over the 1999 rendition (the 1999 version has better singing overall).

What's ABBA doing in this list? :emoji_astonished:

I'll replace it with The Prophets Song of Queen. Underrated, epic song, that Queen fans love as much as BoRhap.
