Kate Bush has created a video for ‘And Dream Of Sheep’.
‘And Dream Of Sheep’ was originally from Kate’s fifth album ‘Hounds of Love’, released in 1985. That album featured the hit song ‘Running Up That Hill’.
In March 2014 Kate Bush announced her 22 date residency at London’s Hammersmith Apollo. Titled ‘Before The Dawn’, the shows were her first in 23 years.
About this video, “This is a special piece of film to accompany the release of the live single ‘And Dream Of Sheep’. The vocal was performed live while filming Kate lying in the huge water tank at Pinewood Studios. This was to create a sense of realism, as the character in the song is lost at sea. However it became more realistic than Kate had imagined. She spent so long in the water during the first day of filming that she contracted mild hypothermia. She recovered after a day off and carried on filming. Everyone agreed it had added to the authenticity of the performance. This film was then projected onto a large oval screen which hung above the stage during the performances of her live show”.
‘Before The Dawn’ will be released at a 3CD set this Friday 25 November, 2016.
