Kate Bush - Cloudbusting

"Cloudbusting" is a song by English singer and songwriter Kate Bush from her fifth studio album, Hounds of Love (1985). Written and produced by Bush, the song was released in the United Kingdom as the second single from Hounds of Love on 14 October 1985 through EMI Records. It peaked at number 20 on the UK Singles Chart.

Taking inspiration from the 1973 Peter Reich memoir A Book of Dreams,[4] which Bush read and found deeply moving, "Cloudbusting" is about the very close relationship between psychiatrist and philosopher Wilhelm Reich and his young son, Peter, told from the point of view of the mature Peter. It describes the boy's memories of his life with Reich on their family farm, called Orgonon, where the two spent time "cloudbusting", a rain-making process which involved using a machine designed and built by Reich – a machine called a cloudbuster – to point at the sky. The song's lyrics further describes the elder Reich's abrupt arrest and imprisonment,
