About This Track

Written by Bush when she was just 18, the song’s lyrics are based on the story of the novel of the same name. Kate Bush was inspired to write the song by the last ten minutes of the 1970 film version of Wuthering Heights. She then read the book and discovered that she shares her birthday (July 30) with Emily Brontë. Bush reportedly wrote the song, for her album The Kick Inside, within the space of just a few hours late at night, looking to the moon through her open bedroom window for inspiration.

    @EyEstyE: Hopefully the book will grow on you! When I started reading WH I thought I would never be able to finish it, for it seemed "dull and cynical" -- actually ended up loving the crap out of it. But I know it's not everyone's cup of tea. :)

    @happytami: I'm reading the book right now, and though I loved reading the books of Charlotte Bronte, I'm not sure about Emily's book yet...

    Yes, the single "Wuthering Heights" was released as the debut single of Kate Bush in January 1978, and the album "The Kick Inside" was released in february 1978.
