43.08-11 Renjeaux Listens to "Infant Kiss" through "Breathing," from Kate Bush - Never for Ever

Our 43rd cool album is Kate Bush's third album, "Never for Ever," from 1980. This album marked a turning point for Kate, as she began self-producing and taking more control over her career. We close out this cool album with the last four tracks. Track 8, "The Infant Kiss" was inspired by the Gothic film "The Innocents," which is about a governess who believes the ghost of her predecessor's dead lover is trying to possess the bodies of her charges. Pretty dang creepy! Track 9, "Night Scented Stock" is an acapella interlude based on the melody of "Blow Away," and is named after a flower species which grows at night. The last two tracks are both powerful anti-war messages, but in completely different ways. Track 10, "Army Dreamers" is a lilting, melancholy waltz in which a mother mourns her son, who was killed in a war. And the closer, track 11, "Breathing," is another anti-war song; but it is dark, foreboding, apocalyptic, and one of her most powerful songs ever.
