Related: About this forumKate Bush "Cloudbusting" was featured in this week's episode of The Handmaid's Tale
Perfectly and chillingly deployed.
I still dream of orgonon
I wake up crying
You're making rain
And you're just in reach
When you and sleep escape me
You're like my yo-yo
That glowed in the dark
What made it special
Made it dangerous
So I bury it
And forget
But every time it rains
You're here in my head
Like the sun coming out
Ooh, I just know that something good is going to happen
And I don't know when
But just saying it could even make it happen
On top of the world
Looking over the edge
You could see them coming
You looked too small
In their big, black car
To be a threat to the men in power
I hid my yo-yo
In the garden
I can't hide you
From the government
Oh, god, daddy
I won't forget
'Cause every time it rains
You're here in my head
Like the sun coming out
Ooh, I just know that something good is going to happen
And I don't know when
But just saying it could even make it happen
But every time it rains
You're here in my head
Like the sun coming out
Looks the sun coming out
Ooh, I just know that something good is going to happen
And I don't know when
But just saying it could even make it happen
Just saying it could even make it happen
The sun's coming out
Your son's coming out

I'm happy it's getting some airplay!

(32,640 posts)5. OMG... the comments section of the youtube video had hundreds of viewers
who looked it up because of The Handmaid's Tale.
I remember reading the book while listening to Hounds of Love - they both came out the same year, 1985.
Hearing that while watching that episode gave me chills.
