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.

I can't make out a single word of the lyrics :-( But still it's a rather fascinating song.

Shooting it up the trouser leg of punk rock, Kate Bush burst onto the scene with a track so passionate, literary and assured it's hard to believe she wrote and recorded it as a teenager. Though she went on to make other great records she never did anything quite like this again. Nobody else has done anything quite like it either.
