My heroine! I need her. These news make me feel so good!

Is this a dance remix???

by **Vindrag** » Tue Aug 07, 2012 2:59 pm

It didn't sound like it, but it has been removed from Amazon?

Yes, it is gone. This happens quite often when Amazon puts songs up too early.

Is there any link to listen to it?

by **Blondini** » Wed Aug 08, 2012 5:19 pm

It better be worthwhile.

It didn't sound like something you'd like very much Blondini, from that clip. But I hope so too!

Big question: will she or will she not appear at the closing ceremony?

That would be great! She's a relevant part of British music history.

Kate Bush to play Olympic closing ceremony?
Rumours circulate after a remix of 'Running Up That Hill' is listed on Amazon for release on Sunday

A remix of Kate Bush track 'Running Up That Hill' which appeared on Amazon yesterday has sparked rumours that the singer may be performing at the Olympic closing ceremony.

The page on Amazon, which has since been deleted, showed a 2012 remix of the track listed for Sunday (August 12) to coincide with the Olympic closing ceremony. You can see the artwork for the track above.

'A Symphony Of British Music: Music For The Closing Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games', an album containing music performed on the final night, will be released digitally on August 12. A spokesperson for Kate Bush declined to comment on whether the track was part of this soundtrack.

The famously reclusive singer has not toured since 1979, however has recently hinted at a live return: "Maybe I will do some shows some day. I'd like to think so before I get too ancient - turn up with me Zimmer frame," she said.

The singer released her last album, '50 Words For Snow' at the end of the last year. The record was her second release of 2011, following from 'Director's Cut'. It is the tenth album of her career.

While the line-up for the closing ceremony is a strictly guarded secret, Muse, Ed Sheeran and George Micheal have all announced that they will be performing, with rumours also circulating that the Spice Girls, Elbow, The Who and Madness will perform.

The soundtrack to the ceremony features about 30 major British hits from the past five decades.

The concert begins with the strains of Bohemian Rhapsody followed by a moving rendition of John Lennon’s Imagine, which is expected to involve the Liverpool Philharmonic Children’s Choir, while Liam Gallagher is scheduled to perform the Oasis hit Wonderwall. Reclusive singer Kate Bush will make an appearance, one of just a handful since her only live tour in 1979.

Kate Bush:: Charts And Sales History thread

For those who want to post chart updates about Running Up That Hill... instead of making a whole new thread?

I really love the new vocals and the sublime changes in the production. Her "older" voice sounds more vulnerable in a way.

I expected it to be RUTH 2.0.. an urban version with new lyrics :lol:

nah but honestly I'll pass

#83 already on UK iTunes! Can we expect a top 20 hit?

by **JimJim** » Sun Aug 12, 2012 9:08 am

All week I've been seeing this topic and thought she was just releasing an album about a woman called "Ruth (A Deal With God)" :lol:

Sounds pointless from the iTunes preview. It was already perfect - and i've heard the version tonight will be an orchestral version - not even this version.

I also think this should be in Pop or Retro.

by **Vindrag** » Sun Aug 12, 2012 4:23 pm

It's a new release so definietly not in retro. If it's an orchestral version tonight when why release this only?

I thought she re-recorded it because she couldn't perform and mime tonight to her 85 vocals.
