Kate-Bush - The Kick Inside

The Song Is About Religion And The Teachings Of Jesus And George Gurdjieff Among Others. The Song Expresses An Insistent Desire To Learn As Much As Possible While She Is Still Young. This Song Refers To Georges Ivanovich Gurdjieff 1877-1949 A Greek-Armenian Mystic And Spiritual Teacher Who Used Stylized Dance To Help People To Unleash The Powers Within Themselves And Develop Their Full Capabilities. In The Lyrics The Knowledge-Hungry Singer Wants To Learn From A Variety Of Teachers Not Just Gurdjieff Whom She Heard Her Father And Brother Discussing While She Was Writing The Tune. She Explained In A 1979 Fan Club Article "I Thought It Was Important Not To Be Narrow-Minded Just Because We Talked About Gurdjieff. I Knew That I Didn't Mean His System Was The Only Way And That Was Why It Was Important To Include Whirling Dervishes And Jesus Because They Are Strong Too. Anyway In The Long Run Although Somebody Might Be Into All Of Them It's Really You That Does It - They're Just The Vehicle To Get You There."
