    Deeper Understanding - Kate Bush (1989)

    As the people here grow colder, I turn to my computer

    And spend my evenings with it like a friend

    I was loading a new programme

    I had ordered from a magazine

    “Are you lonely, are you lost?”

    “This voice console is a must”

    I press execute

    Hello, I know that you’ve been feeling tired

    I bring you love and deeper understanding

    Hello, I know that you’re unhappy

    I bring you love and deeper understanding

    Well, I’ve never known such pleasure

    Nothing else seemed to matter, I neglected my bodily needs

    I did not eat, I did not sleep, the intensity increasing

    'Til my family found me and intervened

    But I was lonely, I was lost

    Oh so lost without my little black box

    I pick up the phone and press execute

    Hello, I know that you’ve been feeling tired

    I bring you love and deeper understanding

    Hello, I know that you’re unhappy

    I bring you love and deeper understanding

    Hello

    Love

    Hello

    Love

    I turn to my computer like a friend

    Hello?

      If you told me it was released this year I would have believed you. I wonder if anyone in 1989 could have predicted where we’d be today.

        Yes. Yes you do. The album is The Sensual World and it’s amazing. Notable tracks for me are Love and Anger, Rocket’s Tail and This Woman’s Work. David Gilmour on lead guitar too.
