Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights Meaning

Wuthering Heights Lyrics

Wuthering heights

Out on the wiley, windy moors
We'd roll and fall in green.
You had a temper like my jealousy:
Too hot, too greedy.
How could you leave me,
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you. I loved you, too.

Bad...

   Interviewer: What about Wuthering Heights? Does the book have a special significance for you?
   
   Kate Bush: No, not really because I didn't read it until just before I wrote the song. I'd seen the television series years ago. I just caught the last few minutes where she was at the window trying to get in. It's one of those classic stories that you vaguely know. I knew there was Heathcliffe and Cathy and that she died and came back. It just fascinated me. What an incredible situation that people should want something so much that even when they die they won't let go. It is a greed of some kind...or a greedy-need, that's the word.
   
   It was just fascinating me so much, it kept coming into my brain. I thought the only way to get rid of it and stop it bothering me was to write it down. So I read the book and it amazed me. It was such a beautiful story. I made sure that I had read it as I was doing it as a tribute to Emily Brontë and anytime you do a something with somebody else's work, you should take care with it because you might well be abusing their expressions. But I found the book more than I had hoped for because for a girl so young it was beautiful that she had the strength to do it.
   
   Quite an interesting coincidence between Emily and myself, that I didn't find out until much later, is that we have the same birthday, 30 July. I thought it was a nice tie-in.
