We close out side A with three wistful tracks: track 3, “Blow Away (for Bill)” is dedicated to one of Kate’s stage lighting technicians, Bill Duffield, who died after the first concert date of her Tour of Life. The song muses on the afterlife for musicians, with references to recently-passed artists Minnie Riperton, Keith Moon, Sid Vicious, Buddy Holly, Sandy Denny, and Mark Bolan.
Track4, “All We Ever Look For,” dreams of what families might be, but comes around to a very Buddhist perspective of acceptance and compassion.
And Track 5, “Egypt” dreams of how exotic the Middle East could be, and features the longest instrumental stretch of Kate Bush music to this point.
