Running Up That Hill

It's hard to find art rock music as art and rock seem to conflict with each other in some way. Based on the information from Wiki, art rock embodies the elements of art, avant-garde and classical music. This type of music is quite odd that it tends to form a door of fantasy by entering a peculiar world of selves. It is like that you are looking some pictures or other artistic works that make you feel unusual after plunging into the works' images. The part of avant-garde can be the interpretation of ourselves in terms of creativity and capability for imagination. Nevertheless, who would have thought that Kate Bush had hit the ground in her young age, carving out the art rock of her own, showing her unique perspective in composing music with artistic and literary elements as well as her dancing within the songs she expressed in the music videos, "Wuthering Heights" and "Running Up That Hill." Besides Bush's songs, it occurs to me one song called "Unintended," composed by the band Muse, for it shows the elements of art and the composers are good at classical rocks. But back to Bush, the latter one of her songs is covered by the band called Placebo. As Placebo's "song-covered" work, "Running Up That Hill" is a great knockout in that Placebo's version of the song discloses the vampire style and its atmosphere in terms of a sense of modernity. As having been listening to the songs, I consider that Placebo tends to evolve the atmosphere, reaching to another realm where a man might struggle in the sides between the Good and the Evil based on the moral code. To be more specific, the song is given by gloomy emotions and complexity of intense inner struggle as well as a feel of hopelessness while an individual stands alone and makes some certain chioce. Especially the sound of heartbeat characterizes the core of the song, as if a feeble soul is drawn from the speaker who seems to make himself confess. The original version of the song "Running Up That Hill" created by Kate Bush, so far as I'm concerned, develops the dramatic way as she expresses the abstraction of arts with her mercurial but lively dance, and creates detachment for audiences to ponder the interpretation of her works. At all events, both of theirs pour extraordinary interpretations into this song.
