bjorn_skurj Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Whenever I get dragged to karaoke, I threaten to sing "Wuthering Heights." It's an empty threat - I have calculated that I would die of alcohol poisoning long before I would get drunk enough to actually sing it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hardwood floor Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 i was in london once for work and they put us up in a very expensive hotel -- i think it was the Grovesnor Square Marriott? so i had found a kate bush music folio book at a music shop that morning, and I went down to the piano bar, sat down, and started playing these magical songs all of a sudden, all these people gathered around the piano, singing wuthering heights, moving, the man with the child in his eyes blew me away it never occurred to me that people might actually know these songs was an unforgettable night Quote Link to post Share on other sites
