About this Quote

In this quote, vocalist Kate Bush is reflecting on her very first experience performing on the music program "Top of the Pops." She admits that she was at first reluctant and frightened to do the show, as she had actually never been on television before. The thought of remaining in front of a big audience and being relayed to countless viewers was overwhelming and scary for her. After the performance, she saw the video of herself and seemed like she was watching her own death. This could recommend that she was very important of her efficiency and seemed like she had actually stopped working or humiliated herself. In general, this quote highlights the vulnerability and pressure that comes with being in the general public eye and carrying out on a popular platform.
