Kate Bush has just released the video for “Rocket Man,” unreleased for years.
NME has an interview: “Years later, in 1989, Elton and Bernie Taupin were putting together an album called ‘Two Rooms’, which was a collection of cover versions of their songs, each featuring a different singer. To my delight they asked me to be involved and I chose ‘Rocket Man’. They gave me complete creative control and although it was a bit daunting to be let loose on one of my favourite tracks ever, it was really exciting. I wanted to make it different from the original and thought it could be fun to turn it into a reggae version.”
Great mix of timbres in this one! Uilleann pipes! Late 20th Century gated drums! Ukulele!
