Ughhhh I tend to HATE Kate Bush covers but I'll keep an open mind as this is SUCH an underrated gem and probably 3rd for me only behind Running Up That Hill and Cloudbusting. I am so over old songs being ruined by dance remakes though, just write your own :lol:

This is a Cloudbusting sample :P

Oops I meant Wuthering Heights, that's like in my top 5 of all time :wub:

 

Oh I've found the original and like it, at least it's actually Kate, I'm not sure about the singer on that clip :/ I am so fussy with people singing Kate, there are probably barely 5 covers of her songs I like but like I said it's amazing to see this get recognition properly (I know there was the Utah Saints track but that was just the little sample line).

This remake stays very true to the original! It's not another tropical house trend jumping remake, so you may even like it.

 

Indeed thank goodness it is not tropical house (or future bass either). It is more 00s dance in style than today's, which is why I compared it to Thunder In My Heart Again , like it, it is a remix of a violin driven song, which keeps nearly all of the original sound as well as the structure. The only change iirc other than the addition of a dance beat compared to the original is a light whoosh sound for the drop and a couple of added funky disco strings in the chorus that weren't there in the original. :dance:

I apologise for doubting this because what a banger :wub: She actually sounds quite like Kate in places!

It seems that in this official release they replaced original Kate's voice

official audio

 

 

Wow... this is actually quite good, it practically uses the original, it gives the track a fresh sound to it.

 

Never heard of Just Us, the production sounds like a Clean Bandit track with the use of violins, I wonder if Jess Glynne will return with a collaboration with Just Us.

It's their first single, that's why you haven't heard them. :P

No wonder, got a feeling there be a Jess Glynne collaboration in the making :D it just screams out.

I don't like it as much as the original remix that was originally played on Radio 1.

 

 

They seem to have got rid of the bit from 1:12 to 1:42 with the additional disco strings and disco house style looped vocals which was my favourite part of the song and made it different to the original. It seems to just be more of a straight cover now sadly.

I sort of agree, the finished version just seems incomplete in some way. :huh:

The live rip in that video I posted flowed brilliantly, and had an amazing climax with additional strings that weren't in the original in the bit from 1:12 and disco house style looped vocals in the bit from 1:27 made it different to the original. As the finished version is it doesn't really add much to the original. It was also more of a progressive house song building to the climax from 1:12 and one near the end at 3:50 too.

 

The verse starting 'On Top Of The World' should have been replaced with the bit starting from 1:12 of the original live rip I think, that verse isn't really needed, a euphoric climax is needed there rather than another verse.

With all the hype at the end of 2016 surrounding the release of this song, I'm surprised it flopped so badly. I really thought it was going to be a hit. :blink:

Still might, it is doing well enough on iTunes now it is now at #89 (not too bad considering the presence of the Ed Sheeran tracks) due to a couple of Radio 1 plays even in daytime according to the R1 schedules, looks like R1 might playlist it next week then.

 

Still wish it was the 'Everytime It Rains' version but by today's chart dance standards, 'Cloudbusting' is lively and less minimal so I would still like to see it go top 40.

This is absolutely wondrous :wub:

This song definitely reminds me a bit of this tune from 2008 I just remembered!
