Army Dreamers: The Final Single from Kate Bush's Never for Ever
A Hit in the UK
Army Dreamers, the third and final single released from Kate Bush's album Never for Ever, climbed its way into the UK top 20 charts upon its release in October 1980. Some fans of Kate Bush's most famous song, "Wuthering Heights," were surprised at the drastic shift in sound of "Army Dreamers," which was much more experimental and less accessible than Bush's earlier work. Regardless, the song remains a popular cult classic among fans.
An Enduring Classic
The official music video for Army Dreamers, directed by Bush herself, features a group of young soldiers in the woods, engaged in a strange and dreamlike narrative. The video has been viewed over 10 million times on YouTube.
Here's a sample of the lyrics:
"Army boy, army boy, army boy, Army boy, army boy, army boy, Army boy, army boy, army boy, Army boy, army boy, army boy."
The song's legacy endures, and it remains an important part of Kate Bush's musical catalog.
