For Women’s History Month, I’m selecting some of my favorite songs from some of the most talented and influential women in music. From frontwomen to singer-songwriters to iconic performers, I’m picking one song a day on Mental Jukebox until the end of March.

It’s not a pop song. Or a rock song. It’s just a brilliant work of art. The songwriting and instrumentation for “Wuthering Heights” are more akin to the storytelling approach and epic scale of a Broadway musical than anything else. It’s what was playing in Kate Bush’s head after reading the novel and film adaptation of the same name. At the age of 18, “Wuthering Heights” showed us Kate’s innate ability to surprise us and introduce us to different worlds.

“I'm coming back to his side to put it right. I'm coming home to wuthering, wuthering, Wuthering Heights.”
