Pick four songs from any band and you can tell a lot about their sound. This summer, I’m featuring #RockBlocks, four picks from bands across various genres. They might be wildly different from each other, but what binds them together is the fact that they’re all a part of my life soundtrack.

Listening to a Kate Bush track feels less like pressing ‘play’ and more like pulling a book off a shelf and diving in. Her songs are stories put to music. Like an exquisitely crafted musical. In 1982, the music world was enamored with synthesizers. But with “Suspended in Gaffa”, Bush went in a completely different and unexpected direction than her peers.

She chose the mandolin and synclavier instead of synths. Opted for stick hits instead of snare hits. And crafted a story about someone catching a glimpse of God. The melody makes the vocals a musical feat as there are barely moments for Bush to breathe in between certain lines. “Suspended in Gaffa”, in many ways, is a divine encounter — from its gripping storytelling to its musical ingenuity.

“I won't open boxes that I am told not to. I'm not a Pandora.”
