Bush, Kate - An Architect's Dream Lyrics
Watching the painter painting
And all the time, the light is changing
And he keeps painting
That bit there, it was an accident
But he's so pleased
And it's my favourite piece
It's just great
The flick of a wrist
Twisting down to the hips
So the lovers begin, with a kiss
In a tryst
It's just a smudge
But what it becomes
In his hands...
Rising and reaching
I could feel what he was feeling
Lines like these have got to be
An architect's dream
It's always the same
Whenever he works on a pavement
It starts to rain
And all the time
The light is changing

Bush, Kate An Architect's Dream Comments
Amazing footage!
Work of art... this one... improves equally as it's missing her performance and face... Makes you forgive all the cheezy ones
c est comme si des étrangers , nous regardions la terre et ses passagers...avec le souvenir vague , d y être passés.....
This song is so Beautiful...❤️
I wonder if Kate sometimes pops in here to read the comments? If so; Hello Kate!
I'm calling it - out of over 100 songs by Kate Bush, An Architect's Dream is the one that everyone should listen to. And they should do so watching these particular images.
Please see my channel for a magical tour of 96 of Kate Bush's songs, including this world class video created by Nicholas Crowe of An Architect's Dream. The playlist order is to tell a story/create a mood. It's such a 'stately' song, like a fine wine. The instrumentation sometimes pitter patters like Georges Seurat Pointillism. It's such an encapsulation of an essence of Kate Bush - every song, no matter whether it contributes to a theme within an album, is its own painting, its own mini-play.
Such a great track. A shame Harris has marred it in longevity.
My favourite song from the ariel album I love the album so much a classic in 2005

Reminds me of catholic architecture by Robert wyatt
This song always makes me feel like crying, I don't know why.
Me too because it's so beautiful
Fuck Rolf Harris and fuck Kate Bush for supporting him.
I'm lying here and the rain has just stopped, the sky is magnolia as the sun is falling. Raindrops stationary on the other side of the window. My nana is visiting and she's downstairs talking to my daughters. Their voices make me feel the most comfortable and safe I will ever feel.
Thank god ROLF was nowhere near those kids in those days or it would have been a
PEDOS DREAM !
Beautiful music hello i from Brasil i love kate bush
this video was posted over half my lifetime ago.
One of my favorite works of art in song poem film and music. Kate Bush the great muse inspired me to live fully in wonderment.
The video matches so well with the song that I thought it could be the official music video. Beautiful.
Bravo, Nicholas Crowe, cette vidéo est une merveille!
Ci Néia meu amor quero te encontrar de todo jeito
⭐⭐⭐
Yes, I need to get that tone
A little bit lighter there
Maybe with some dark accents coming in from the side
Hmm, let’s go...
Watching the painter painting,
And all the time, the light is changing
And he keeps painting
That bit there, it was an accident
But he's so pleased
It's the best mistake, he could make
And it's my favourite piece
It's just great
The flick of a wrist
Twisting down to the hips
So the lovers begin, with a kiss
In a tryst
It's just a smudge
But what it becomes
In his hands
Curving and sweeping
Rising and reaching
I could feel what he was feeling
(Watching the painter painting)
Lines like these have got to be
An architect’s dream
It's always the same
Whenever he works on a pavement
(Watching the painter painting)
It starts to rain
And all the time
The light is changing
Compositor: Kate Bush
This masterpiece....absolutely one of Kates best, the filmsnippets suits so good with the music
Rolf cleared ,,,Poor guy
Congrats. Your video made it to a conspiracy page about Illuminati and MK Ultra.

Thanks again.

To my God, my architect.
I bet Kate regrets using Rolf Harris now!
+Picnicl - Fuck off and stop trying to justify pedophilia.
The 'philia' of anything where hate isn't involved doesn't need justifying - it's not illegal - or even necessarily morally dubious - to be sexually attracted to anything at all. Without any criminal act, it's just a private inclination. Someone who loves sportscars isn't automatically a thief of sportscars. What would be illegal (and only in some countries too - age of consent is 12 in some civilised countries) is acting upon it in an illegal way. So use the correct term - child molester. It was at an age that is legal with consent in some countries. He wasn't an outright monster doing it to prepubescents.
+Picnicl - Then I will change my wording. Fuck off and stop trying to justify child molesting and child rape. Jesus said that anyone who hurts children will wish that they had a millstone around their neck and thrown into the deepest sea than have to face the kind of punishment that God will give them for harming children.
You keep on accusing me of things I absolutely hate! When did I try to justify child rape? As for child molestation , I was just pointing out that , to some countries, 13 is sexually an adult (because biology - puberty - shows they're biologically fertile). Which is hebephilia, not paedophilia.
I bet you regret using a flushing toilet, since romans fucked children.
Where did you get this footage? You know, I have been revisiting this work of yours for 5 years now? Thank you, Nicholas. (And bravo!!)
+Mike Delaney Campeau 1924 Claude Friese-Greene (cinematographer and son of moving-image pioneer William) embarked on an intrepid road trip from Land's End to John O'Groats. Entitled The Open Road, I'm glad you like it .
The images are amazing! But why is the aspect ratio so awkward?
@Erwin Woodedge Probably because it was shot in 1924, and that predates even *CinemaScope!* ;-)
@Nicholas Crowe It's beautiful! I always watch the video with this song. It goes so well and just adds something extra. Also very calming!
masterpiece
Très belle chanson...elle me permet de m'évader! Merci Kate
Stunning....I'm speechless...
Glory to Jesus ...she knows it is him God himself ........who is the painter
+sulamith-is-getting-ready Ha ha ha. Amen to that.
I think art it's in every one of us. And we are the gods
{ { , } } "(o^o)" Again!
Very stunning song and good video.
Bob Ross!!!
Is that a guy near the end with a pony tail - quite unusual for the 20s/30s
behind the word stunning you will hear and see this video in the interactive dictionary.
Rolf Harris looks really skinny
I don't care for An Endless Sky of Honey and I usually wind up on this part of the song when I realize that I'm listening to it. Something about this song irks me. A lot of Aerial does, actually. It seems really presumptuous or something.
great Kate!
GREAT KATE!
Watching the painter painting
And all the time, the light is changing
And he keeps painting that bit there
It was an accident
But hes so pleased
Its the best mistake he could make
And its my favorite piece, its just great
The flick of a wrist twisting down to the hips
So the lovers begin with a kiss
In a tryst
Its just a smudge
But what it becomes in his hands
Curving and sweeping, rising and reaching
I could feel what he was feeling
Lines like these have got to be
An architects dream
Its always the same
Whenever he works on a pavement
It starts to rain
And all the time, the light is changing
+Gabrielle Ene It's beautiful, isn't it? ♫
+Mike Delaney Campeau yes indeed it is..
I do not know how she does it, this song writing is life itself.
great song great vid
Can anyone help me? I'm desperately looking for a video by a female artist that is quite similar to Kate Bush. Very avant-garde. Here is an explanation of the video. If anyone here knows what I'm talking about can you please let me know? Thank you so much!! She has short blond hair (if I'm not mistaken) and is sitting at a piano and singing a gorgeous song. Meanwhile there are all of these bizarre robotic type things moving all around her and some sort of tentacle actually reaches up from under the piano and starts to wrap itself around her ankle. And some sort of huge electronic umbrella over the piano begins moving. Its a really beautiful song too. Do you have any idea at all of who I'm talking about? I think the piano is on a raised silver stage. Very awesome video and song. Thank you again.
Mike
awesome......
If I could live inside this song, I would.
That was a fine way to express it, me too. One of the best songs this lady made, everytime i play it i hear something new,...timeless, she sings like an angel
Oh me too!!!
ahhhhhh. my weary overworked bones... perfect x
i dont know but this is so relaxing for some reason.. i love it
Beautiful visual interpretation of 'An Architect's Dream'. The images and emotions match the song perfectly. Many thanks from a lover of Kate's music.
Kate Bush, in her prime, was one of the most beautiful and talented women on the planet. She is still beautiful and talented, but my God...
Tess Durbeyfield at 2:05.
It is utterly beautiful - do you like Maddji? Her song, Far is also beautiful and other worldly
i agree, this is incredible
it's just beautiful, isn't it? how can she convey so much emotion in a handful of words? she is just other worldly.
one only who makes YT better than MTV
starts with a kiss ... and a tryst
When was the footage shot and is the color original or done in a post process? Is it old film or new treated to look old?
evocative and slightly melancholy...can we have a little of that innocence for our own time? you've done we'll sir
Hey Zingo, check out "Lilly", one of Kate's absolute best videos period!
Great!! Thank you!
what film is this?
Just WoW!
I knew the song... and I truly Love Aerial, and Kate's work (specially from the "sensual world" on).
And this video tottaly fits... Great job @StanRd2005 ! You have great taste, and this is a Lot better than many official videos! :)
I love to watch those images from a Country of our Beautiful Europe... We have an Amazing Culture, Traditions, Places, Musicians (like Kate)... I've got to travel again to the Uk :D
Best wishes to the Uk people!
(Love u Kate! ...from a portuguese fan!)
nice and relaxing
I love the use of the visuals at 2.05-2.09 used to accompany a brief section of music. It's like you can see shyness and pride and hope at the same time.
Such a beautiful song and the accompanying vid is quite beautiful as well. Kate Bush is one of a handful of muses that I deeply cherish.
I also think this is one of aerial's peaks
@TheQuietEye I think it was, there are the brifest glimses of Torquay and Cockington in there too. Looks like a nicer time to've been around.
This is (in the true sense of the word) one thing - sublime. Gorgeous lovingness.x
I love the old film, but its a distraction, the sound, don't look just hear
Spud custard
I see glimpses of things I have seen before, online and and in real life. Castle Drogo?
But I agree. The innocence is wonderful.
I keep coming back to this and watch it through, through the last 4 years. The innocence of early movie scenes, and Kate Bush.
très belle mélodie ..... très belle vidéo .... une vrai évasion .......
@StanRd2005 really rather special
love the bass and guitar in this <3333
"The light (life) is changing..."
Very very deeply emotional song. The whole life is at the moment. THE BEST FEELING. This kind Perfomance is able only by time pass experience.
Dear Kate Bush, thank You very much for sharing this gift living inside of You!
wow, this video makes this song even more beautiful. Something I think was impossible. Thanks.
wow, this video makes this song even more beautiful. Something I think was impossible. Thanks
Commented before...still one of the most beautiful videos on You Tube. Thank you.
Hopefully Kate has seen this. Words can't describe - a masterful piece of work you've created here.
This is a wonderful combination of a great song and a haunting video - well done
My favourite song on the album. It's sublime.
@blackflower75 Glad you like it !
Great video. Good job & thanks!!! Really enjoyed it!!
The Aerial album reminds me very much of the Kate album Never for Ever. This song in particular, reminds me of Delius.
she chose Rolf Harris to work with for a particular reason - both creative people.
Yes, Rolf Harris is an artist - he has painted a portrait of Queen Elizabeth. He used to get a large brush for painting a house and a few tins of paint an do the most incredible paintings at a really quick speed.
Nice video to a gorgeous track by Kate - The whole Ariel album was genius.
I was so happy when Kate collaborated with another genius in Prince!
Kate, if you are reading, I know touring isn't for you, especially with family commitments. Why not make an intimate concert for DVD with family, acquaintances, a strictly capped number of fans, etc in the audience? Please? You know it makes sense :-)
very good point!!!!
Why hasn't she been knighted?? If Jagger, Elton John and McCartney can get it , surely Kate can become a Dame!!
Fantastic - ,what a blend, what genius.
I hope theres another,,,,,,,,,,,,
A beautiful video, a work of art. Kate is a seminal genius. In pop music terms she is simply the Mother.
Thank you !
This video and BlueMorpho3's Sunset video are probably the two best Kate Bush fan videos available on Youtube.
It's So wonderfull!
This is as far removed from THE! X! FACTOR! as you can be. Making 'ordinary people' stars is not a bad idea if they have written the songs as well like Kate Bush has. Otherwise it's a bit dubious not to concentrate on giving singer songwriters fame rather than just singers. There is no false, overwrought emotion in An Architect's Dream but, like much of Kate Bush's work, it is a relative hidden treasure because of the limited imaginations or rank stupidity of radio stations and the media.
