Yes watching Good Omens yet again ...
"Quelle surprise"
During the trial in Hell of Crowley (aka Aziraphale disguised as AJC).
There is a line when they ask ...
'Creatures of Hell.... you have heard the evidence against the demon known as Crowley, what is your verdict?'
"GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY!"
Reminds me of a line in Kate Bush song.
It comes from her masterpiece The 9th Wave from 1985.. Side 2 of The Hounds of Love Album. I ADORE it... it was considered very weird and strange back then....and still is to many folks now.
The line comes from a song called Waking the Witch... very apt for Season 1 G.O.
"What say you good people...
GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY !"
Everything I watch the scene, I hear Kate's song in my head.
In many ways, Good Omens opens the files on the hard drive of my memories frequently.....
God only knows what else I will post about my personal triggers from Good Omens...lol!
Original album version of Waking the Witch.
I was lucky enough to see it performed live in 2014, I had wanted to see Kate perform live since her previous tour in 1979 when I was too young to go.
I love Kate's wings as the blackbird part of Waking the Witch as she is in the water, it reminds of Crowley's fallen Angel wings and also when he was being pulled to hell in Edinburgh.
Screenshots from video below .
Just found this if anyone wants to see The 9th Wave live.
Just audio in next link live.
Kate has become very popular since Stranger Things, but I remember her first appearance on Top of the Pops in 1978.
Kate and David Bowie guided me to Lindsay Kemp as a teenager... somehow, we all find a path if we follow our dreams. I did meet Kate numerous times backstage at Kemp shows as she often came to see Lindsay and Douglas McNicol, who danced with her a lot around 1982....during The Dreaming era.
Kate and Douglas.
We sadly lost Douglas 2 days after Christmas 2023. Rest in Peace McDougie.♡
Kate backstage at Sadlers Wells with Lindsay and David Tomlinson (Mary Poppins and Bedknobs fame) 1985.
Kate in front and me behind both in white shirts, I hardly ever wore my hair down when I was working . Lindsay's Onnagata talk at Sadlers Wells 1991.
The talk, Kate came to with Linds.... you can see her come in and Lindsay telling her to sit with me.
Song Lyrics to waking the witch by Kate Bush .....
Wake up
Good morning, ma'am
Your early morning call
You must wake up
Wake up
Wake up, man
Wake up, child
Pay attention
Come on, wake up
Wake up, love
We should make the night
But see your little lights alive
Stop that lying (ma needs a shower, get out of bed)
And sleeping in bed, get up
Little light
Can you not see that little light up there?
Where?
There
Where?
Over here
You still in bed?
Wake up, sleepy head
We are of the going water and the gone
We are of water in the Holy Land of water
Don't you know you've kept him waiting
Look who's here to see you
You won't burn (red, red roses)
You won't bleed (pinks and posies)
Confess to me, girl (red, red roses, go down)
Spiritus Sanctus in nomine
Spiritus Sanctus in nomine
Spiritus Sanctus in nomine
Spiritus Sanctus in nomine
Poor little thing (red, red roses)
The blackbird (pinks and posies)
Wings in the water (red, red roses)
Go down (go down, pinks and posies)
Deus et dei domino inferno
Deus et dei domino inferno
Deus et dei domino inferno
Deus et dei domino inferno
What is it, child?
Bless me, father, bless me father, for I have sinned
Help me, listen to me, listen to me, tell me (red, red roses)
Help me, baby, don't go (red, red ro-)
I question your innocence
She's a witch (help this blackbird, there's a stone around my leg)
Ha, damn you, woman
(Help this blackbird, there's a stone around my leg)
What say you, good people (guilty, guilty, guilty)
Well, are you responsible for your actions? (This blackbird)
Not guilty (help this blackbird)
Wake up the witch
Get out of the waves
Get out of the water
