The fact Del still works with Kate tells me they are still very close.
Absolutely. Good job too, as he's about as important to her sound as Mick Ronson was to Bowie.

Maybe the romance just petered out? They were together for a very long time. I suppose my mild curiosity is based on the envy many fans feel. The idea of having won KB's heart, and then lost it, is intriguing.

Got to use my 8,000th post for my favourite Kate song/video!

Suspended in Gaffa

Out in the garden
There's half of a heaven
And we're only bluffing
We're not ones for busting through walls

But they've told us
Unless we can prove
That we're doing it
We can't have it all

He's gonna wangle
A way to get out of it
She's an excuse
And a witness who'll talk when he's called

But they've told us
Unless we can prove
That we're doing it
We can't have it all
We can't have it all

"I caught a glimpse of a god, all shining and bright"

Suddenly my feet are feet of mud
It all goes slo-mo
I don't know why I'm crying
Am I suspended in Gaffa?
Not until I'm ready for you
Not until I'm ready for you
Can I have it all

I try to get nearer
But as it gets clearer
There's something appears in the way
It's a plank in me eye

With a camel
Who's trying to get through it
Am I doing it?
Can I have it all now?

I pull out the plank and say
"Thank you for yanking me back
To the fact that there's
Always something to distract"

But sometimes it's hard
To know if I'm doing it right
Can I have it all?
Can I have it all now?
We can't have it all

"We all have a dream...maybe"

Suddenly my feet are feet of mud
It all goes slo-mo
I don't know why I'm crying
Am I suspended in Gaffa?
Not until I'm ready for you
Not until I'm ready for you
Can I have it all

I won't open boxes
That I am told not to
I'm not a Pandora
I'm much more like
That girl in the mirror

Between you and me
She don't stand a chance of getting anywhere at all
Not anywhere at all
No, not a thing
She can't have it all

"Mother, where are the angels? I'm scared of the changes"

Suddenly my feet are feet of mud
It all goes slo-mo
I don't know why I'm crying
Am I suspended in Gaffa?
Not until I'm ready for you
Not until I'm ready for you
Can I have it all

Yum! heh

Thanks for that - I definitely haven't seen Kate talking about TLTCATC before.

Just when I think I've watched 'everything Kate' something I haven't seen before pops up - hard pressed to think of anyone else with such an archive!

Just noticed that the thread is a year old in 5 days
(happy birthday thread, and thanks for starting it digit al!)
Still going strong!

Would be nice if we had a new album to rave about before the threads 2nd birthday! (wishful thinking).

I just looked up Club For Five and (if you didn't know already) I think you'll find this amazing (well I did!!)

"Club for Five is an innovative Finnish contemporary acappella group whose speciality is an open-minded approach to singing and skillful, instrument-like use of the human voice.
The creative ways of "playing" rhythm music without a single instrument often disarm the spectator: he sees only five singers on stage, but based on the sound, he can easily imagine an entire rock band in front of him"

Unbelievable that it's voices only ain't it - wow!

Here's a vid of them covering The Eurythmics 'Sweet Dreams':

Come on AL

Ran Tan Walz...

Where is she
When the little thing cries?
She lies in a bed
With a friend of mine.
But some nights
She'll run back in fright
If she picks on a dick
That's too big for her pride.

Oh! Oh!
Why did I ever go marry her?
I was a child!
I'm holding the baby,
She's ran-tanning constantly.
She saw me coming for miles.
She saw me open wide.

Four o'clock
And the key's in the lock.
And she's been on the win [The word might be "wing".]
And she's stinking of drink.
Wakes the kid,
So I put him to sleep,
And she's in there all night,
Doubled over the sink.

Oh! Oh!
Why did I ever go marry her?
I was a child!
I'm holding the baby,
She's ran-tanning constantly.
She saw me coming for miles.
She saw me open wide.
Open wide.
Open wide.


Hope you liked the last link I put on here.A good find,even if I do say so myself

Sarah McLachlan sings Kate's "Babooshka" & "Wow" at a soundcheck during the Lilith tour:
Babooshka & Wow

Sarah playing around in the studio '87:
Wuthering Heights

Both audio only and bad musically (she's just jamming around and they weren't meant to be heard),
but still good to hear, Sarah is obviously a big fan.
