Running Up That Hill

It's hard to find art rock music in my opinion because art and rock seem to conflict with each other in some way. Based on the information of Wiki, art rock embodies the elements of art, avant-garde and classical music. This type of music is quite odd that it tends to form the fantasy or open a door for entering a peculiar world of selves. It is like you are looking some pictures or other artistic work that make you feel unusual after plunging into the works' image. The part of avant-garde can be the interpretation of ourselves in terms of creativity and capability for imagination. Nevertheless, who would have thought that Kate Bush had hit the ground in her young age, carving out the art rock of her own, showing her unique perspective in composing music with artistic and literary elements as well as her dancing within the songs she expressed in the musical video such as "Wuthering Heights" and "Running Up That Hill." Besides Bush's songs, it occurs to me one song called "Intended" composed by Muse for showing the element of art, and they actually may be related to since they are good at classical rock. But back to Bush, the latter one of hers had covered by Placebo, which we all know their "song-covered" is a great knockout. But having been listening to each of them for many times, I consider Placebo tends to evolve the atmosphere reaching to another realm where a man might struggle with Good and Evil for the moral code, which exudes the vampire style and atmosphere in terms of showing its modernity. In additon, the song is given by gloomy emotion and complexity of inner struggle intensely as well as hopelessness while an individual stands alone and makes some certain chioce, especially the notes of heartbeat sound but the feeble soul which the speaker seems to be his confession. Kate Bush's original version, as far as I'm concerned, discloses the dramatic way with dancing and artistic abstraction, giving the audiences detachment to ponder the interpretation of hers when I listen to this song. At all events, both of theirs pour extraordinary interpretation into this song.
