S05E10 – Jig of Life

Hello you Kate Bush fans, ready to put on your dancing shoes? Time to dance a jig of life! After the somber and thoughtful Watching You Without Me, we’re on to the next track, the energetic Jig of Life! Two fans (who are also Patreon supporters of the show!) are on board to discuss this song. Christine Kelley runs the blog Dreams of Orgonon and has made numerous appearances on the show before, while Craig Houston is a long-time Kate fan from Ohio. We talk about the lyrics, the vocal performance, Kate’s brother Jay’s poem at the end, and learn just what a jig is! Patreon Plug! Strange Phenomena now has a Patreon page.
