S04E07 – Night of the Swallow
Come with us on a hired plane, with no names mentioned, for a fun ride through the seventh track on The Dreaming, the Irish-tinged/power ballad hybrid Night of the Swallow. In one of our most enthusiastic episodes yet, we have our good friend of the show, Zoey P, for whom this is her ABSOLUTE FAVORITE Kate Bush song. And for Cecilee, this is her overall favorite on The Dreaming! So, with two huge fans of this song, get ready for a very enthusiastic episode! We get to talk about the narrative structure of the song (a dialogue!!), its release as a single (but only in Ireland!), the instrumentation (uilleann pipes!), our favorite lyrical moments, and more!
