It's a cute little story but I think this amazing song deserved something even more epic.

Rodrigo_Amaro22 July 2021This amazing music video by Kate Bush deserves plenty of praise thanks to its direction, sense of positive dramatic narrative and the excellent performances by Donald Sutherland and Bush, who plays a boy, not to mention the excellent soothing song.
This is the story of cientific pioneer and psychologist Wilhelm Reich (Sutherland) and his rainworking machine of which he makes tests alongside his son (played by Bush), at the same time government agents are on his hunt. A true life story. Reich was being followed not just because of this project but also due this controversial books of the Orgon. Institute.
Now, the clip is fascinating with great storytelling, special effects and the dramatic and positive performances by Donald (who was the right man at the right time when he was on vacation and was spotted by Bush who invited him for the video, of which he wasn't paid at all because he loved the part and was a fan of Kate's work) and Bush's emotional performance. She really looks like a boy here.
After seeing the clip I became a fan of the song and time and again I try to watch it. Same emotion all the time with the sensibility from images and sound. A little bit of dialogue wouldn't hurt - cause I love Donald's voice. Check it out "Cloudbursting" you'll be moved by it both music and images. 10/10.
