    S07E10 - Big Stripey Lie

    Coming up behind hind hind is a new episode of Strange Phenomena! In this episode, we're digging into the third to last track on The Red Shoes: Big Stripey Lie.
    A song that almost didn't make the final track listing for the album, Big Stripey Lie sits toward the end of the album and is probably the most cryptic song on the album. In this episode, Cecilee and her guest Matthew Song, a long-time Kate fan, dig into this song. They speculate on what a big stripey lie actually is, where it sits on the album, and also about their love for this song!

    For this episode, we get to talk with a long-time Kate Bush fan, David Manuel, who cites this song as one of his favorites (and spoiler alert: this is a top ten favorite song for our host as well!). We get to talk about the 1940s movie The Red Shoes, a movie that was most likely the inspiration for this song, as well as the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale of the same name, and how those influences wove their way into this song.
