Opening Kate Bush’s second album of 2011, “Snowflake” depicts the birth of a single snowflake from the clouds and its impending demise upon reaching the ground. A duet between Kate and her son Bertie, it moves freely along whilst serving as an introduction to the longer format of song Kate wished to...
[Verse 1: Bertie McIntosh]
I was born in a cloud
Now I am falling
I want you to catch me
Look up and you'll see me
You know you can hear me
[Chorus: Kate Bush]
The world is so loud
Keep falling
I'll find you
[Verse 2: Bertie McIntosh]
We're over a forest
There's millions of snowflakes
We're dancing
[Chorus: Kate Bush]
The world is so loud
Keep falling
I'll find you
[Bridge: Bertie McIntosh]
I am ice
And dust
I am sky
[Verse 3: Bertie McIntosh]
I can see horses
Wading through snowdrifts
My broken hearts, my fabulous dances
My fleeting song, fleeting
[Chorus: Kate Bush]
The world is so loud
Keep falling
I'll find you
[Bridge: Bertie McIntosh]
My broken heart
My fabulous dance
My fleeting song
My twist and shout
[Bridge: Bertie McIntosh]
I am ice
And dust
And light
I am sky
And here
[Verse 4: Bertie McIntosh]
I can hear people
I think you are near me now
[Chorus: Kate Bush]
The world is so loud
Keep falling
I'll find you
[Verse 5: Bertie McIntosh]
We're over a forest
It's midnight at Christmas
[Chorus: Kate Bush]
The world is so loud
Keep falling
I'll find you
[Verse 6: Bertie McIntosh]
I think I can see you
There's your long, white neck
[Chorus: Kate Bush]
The world is so loud
Keep falling
I'll find you
[Verse 7: Bertie McIntosh]
Now I am falling
Look up and you'll see me
[Chorus: Kate Bush]
The world is so loud
Keep falling
I'll find you
[Verse 8: Bertie McIntosh]
In a moment or two
I'll be with you
[Chorus: Kate Bush]
The world is so loud
Keep falling
I'll find you
[Verse 9: Bertie McIntosh]
Be ready to catch me
[Chorus: Kate Bush]
The world is so loud
Keep falling
I'll find you
Snowflake was written by Kate Bush.
Snowflake was produced by Kate Bush.
Well, I think when I wrote the song it was something that I-I wrote for him and for his voice. And I guess there was a very strong parallel in my mind between the idea of this transient little snowflake and the fact that Bertie, at this point, has- still has a beautiful, high, pure voice, which soon...
