ケイト・ブッシュ自身この曲は実家で座っている時に”Rolling the ball”というフレーズが浮かんできて、すぐさまピアノでコードを弾いたという。
まさに彼女自身が突然内側から出てくるという経験をしたのだ。
また彼女はこの曲について以下のように語っている。
It has lots of different people and ideas and things like that in it, and they came to me amazingly easily it was a bit like “Oh England”, because in a way so much of it was what was happening at home at the time.
My brother and my father were very much involved in talking about Gurdjieff and whirling Dervishes, and I was really getting into it, too. It was just like plucking out a bit of that and putting it into something that rhymed. And it happened so easily in a way, too easily.
(…)
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.
この曲にはさまざまな人やアイデアが詰まっていて、驚くほど簡単に浮かんできました。まるで “Oh England My Lionheart”(ケイトの楽曲)のように、当時家で起こっていたことの多くが反映されているような感じでした。
I wrote that when I was 16. I’ve got two older brothers and have always been in the company of older men. They seem to have so much fun and are able to laugh at themselves. I love that. It’s a song expressing that most men are really children at heart.
