From Quiz It's in the trees! It's coming!

Answer: Waking the Witch

This is probably my favourite song on the album as it very dramatically tells the story about witch hunting and whether the young girl being accused of witch craft will drown or float. It's a chilling song that moves back and forth between the accusers and the accused. There is the sound of a helicopter used, with a voice telling someone to get out of the water. Kate Bush was interviewed on UK radio in 1992 and tells the story of trying to find just the right helicopter sound to fit the song and having such a hard time finding the right sound. In the end she reached out to Pink Floyd to use the sound used in "The Wall".
