St Vincent has shared how much she is in “awe” of musician Kate Bush, saying “there is no one who could ever compare.”St Vincent, real name Annie Clark, made the comments on social media the day after she performed a version of ‘Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)’ to honour Bush’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.The ceremony took place in New York last night (November 3), with Bush being inducted via a speech by Big Boi.In a post on social media, Clark recalled discovering Bush’s music and opened up about her love for the musician.Clark wrote: “Kate Bush.

First heard her song ‘This Woman’s Work” in the pivotal scene in the 1988 film She’s Having A Baby. And though I was 7 or 8 and too young to understand much of anything, I wept.“Then around age 16 I went to CD World in Dallas and saw a copy of ‘The Sensual World’ on the racks.

And I was so taken with her. Her expression. The flower to her lips. I hadn’t put the pieces together yet that this was the woman who sang THAT song.

But I took it home and it was her. That woman who could soar so high into the ether and reach so deep into your soul. The entire album is a masterpiece, but I still cannot listen to ‘This Woman’s Work’ without weeping.“Then I was working on my first record and an engineer friend played me ‘Hounds of Love.’ It was everything.
