POOn this date in 1985, KATE BUSH released the single CLOUDBUSTING (Oct 14, 1985).
From the album 'Hounds Of Love', this string-driven, magically pretty song was inspired by Peter Reich's 1973 Book of Dreams.
Around the time of the release Bush sent Peter Reich a VHS copy of the music video. Reich was immediately a fan. He later told Dazed magazine "Quite magically, this British musician had tapped precisely into a unique and magical fulfilment of father-son devotion, emotion and understanding. They had captured it all."
"The music video, directed by Julian Doyle, was conceived by Terry Gilliam and Kate Bush as a short film," wrote Alex Denney For Dazed magazine.
The video features Canadian actor Donald Sutherland playing the role of Wilhelm Reich, and Kate in the role of his young son, Peter, with the filming taking place at The Vale of White Horse in Oxfordshire, England.
