kate bush - somewhere in between

"somewhere in between" comes from kate bush's 2005 two disc album "aerial" and is on the second disc which actually is a coherent entity but that doesn't stop me from singling out one track. the lead single from the album is on the first record and while it's nice, i do think the second disc is where the gems of the album are located.

i bought "aerial" a few years ago and liked it but forgot about it until i relistened to it a few months ago and memories came back. for "somewhere in between" i liked it because of the groove and of course kate bush's lovely voice. the song represents what adult contemporary music should be known as all the time as there is punchy instrumentation and great songwriting. then again that is kate bush's catalogue in a nutshell so take notes people.

what this song reminds me off is balearic music and this is why i say that i love it for the groove. i am puzzled that someone hasn't cut their teeth into it and done a lengthy ten minute rework. never the less the shuffling drums, the gentle guitar, the walking bassline and the string arrangements is brilliant. especially as it compliments bush's vocal range from her lower notes and her lovely highs. 

great music from kate bush, i would say genius but as it's kate bush, that goes without saying.

note: with the re-release of aerial "somewhere in between" is done part the second disc "an endless sky of honey"
