Deeper Understanding, by Kate Bush (from The Sensual World)

[moonwise]

As the people here grow colder
I turn to my computer
And spend my evenings with it
Like a friend.
I was loading a new program
I had ordered from a magazine:

"Are you lonely, are you lost?
This voice console is a must."

I press Execute.

"Hello, I know that you've been feeling tired.
I bring you love and deeper understanding.
Hello, I know that you're unhappy.
I bring you love and deeper understanding."

Well I've never felt such pleasure.
Nothing else seemed to matter.
I neglected my bodily needs.
I did not eat, I did not sleep,
The intensity increasing,
'Til my family found me and intervened.

But I was lonely, I was lost,
Without my little black box.

I pick up the phone and go, Execute.

"Hello, I know that you've been feeling tired.
I bring you love and deeper understanding.
Hello, I know that you're unhappy.
I bring you love and deeper understanding."

Hello.
Love.
Hello.
Love and deeper understanding.

I turn to my computer like a friend.

[A chant]
"Hello"
"Hello"

I need deeper understanding.
Give me deeper understanding.

I hate to leave you
I hate to leave you
I hate to leave you
I hate to leave you
I hate to leave you
I hate to lose you

It's a song. I doubt you'd know who Kate Bush is; she hasn't put out a single in 10 years or so. Doesn't matter, I just wanted to post it.

No, I know who Kate Bush was, i just wasn't familiar with the song. What Album is it on? I think my parents may have it... (I really love her duet with peter Gabriel... 'Don't Give Up'... very beautiful)

Errr.. make that 'is' instead of was.

As the title line says, it's from "The Sensual World." Kate Bush released that album in 1989 and had a minor hit with "Love and Anger."

Interesting stuff Arafel. What kind of a book is that from?

:) A song for all us comp and net addicts out here... but I guess fewer of us would turn to the comp "as a friend" if there hadn't been a human in the other end too.
