Third and final appointment dedicated to Kate Bush: today we talk about "Never For Ever".

Third album by the singer-songwriter, it is the first to reach the top of the English chart for the number of copies sold. While orchestral arrangements dominate the first two albums, in this third project the songs stylistically diversify, incorporating digital synthesizers and drum machines, especially the Fairlight CMI (widely used in "Hounds of Love"). Among the singles released are "Breathing," the famous "Babooshka," and "Army Dreamers." In the latter, which presents itself as a melancholic waltz, a mother mourns the wartime death of her son and reflects on what she could have done to prevent the tragic outcome. The other tracks on the album follow the trail of literary and cinematic influences that had already characterized the artist's early albums, from "The Infant Kiss," inspired by "Suspense," a 1961 psychological horror film, to "The Wedding List," which, drawing on the plot of "The Bride Wore Black," a 1968 thriller, tells the story of a young bride's revenge.

Today, we suggest listening to "Army Dreamers," which has recently seen a significant increase in its streaming platform plays, demonstrating how relevant the theme addressed still is.
