Understanding

Understanding 1

Understanding 2

I'm sure I've written about Kate Bush here before, but it's safe to say I'm still quite an ardent fan of her music. Last week I ordered a copy of her latest album, on which she re-works a handful of her old songs, including Deeper Understanding, from 1989. While I was listening to the aforementioned track, I realised what a beautiful one it was, and how timely for us right now. In the song, the narrator falls in love with a computer; becomes intoxicated by the alternate world it offers as she/he searches for some deeper understanding and love in their life.

I made a watercolour painting to remind myself of those lyrics- 'love and deeper understanding', and it's now pinned up above our computer. I realised, while writing about it here, that it's completely influenced by the beautiful artwork of Shanna Murray

The embroidery I showed yesterday was sewn up into this 'project bag' for my shop update today.

I'm guest-blogging today over at my friend Helen's blog. Thank you for the invitation, H.

    How is it even possible that Kate Bush has a new album out and I didn’t know about it??????
    I ardently love her, and have for 30 years. Her body of work would probably be my desert island pick. If only it wasn’t too late to rush out to the record store. I guess I’ll have to wait till tomorrow…
    Thank you Melissa.

    she’s quite bewitching isn’t she – I heard an interview with her about making that album , she doesn’t let herself get pigeon holed, her creative/work/life balance is very interesting. Cx

    I’ve always been a “fan” of Kate Bush ~ I’ll have to have a listen to that album (one that I’ve not heard before).
