Song Lyrics

We were working secretly For the military. Our experiment in sound, Was nearly ready to begin. We only know in theory What we are doing: Music made for pleasure, Music made to thrill. It was music we were making here until They told us All they wanted Was a sound that could kill someone From a distance. So we go ahead, And the meters are over in the red. It`s a mistake in the making. From the painful cry of mothers, To the terrifying scream, We recorded it and put it into our machine. Then they told us All they wanted Was a sound that could kill someone From a distance. So we go ahead, And the meters are over in the red. It`s a mistake in the making. It could feel like falling in love. It could feel so bad. But it could feel so good. It could sing you to sleep ?"I`ll bet my mum`s gonna give me a little toy instrument!"? But that dream is your enemy. We won`t be there to be blamed. We won`t be there to snitch. I just pray that someone there Can hit the switch. But they told us All they wanted Was a sound that could kill someone From a distance. So we go ahead, And the meters are over in the red. It`s a mistake we`ve made. Hmm hmm hmm, hmm hmm hmm. And the public are warned to stay off.

Kate Bush – Experiment Iv lyrics

We were working secretly For the military. We only know in theory What we are doing: Music made for pleasure, Music made to thrill. It was music we were making here until

They told us All they wanted Was a sound that could kill someone From a distance. So we go ahead, And the meters are over in the red. It's a mistake in the making.

It could feel like falling in love. It could feel so bad. But it could feel so good. It could sing you to sleep-- I'll bet my mum's gonna give me a little toy instrument! But that dream is your enemy.

We won't be there to be blamed. We won't be there to snitch. I just pray that someone there Can hit the switch.

But they told us All they wanted Was a sound that could kill someone From a distance. So we go ahead, And the meters are over in the red. It's a mistake we've made.

And the public are warned to stay off.

Meaning of Experiment IV by Kate Bush

"Experiment IV" by Kate Bush reflects on the dangerous implications of scientific advancement and the ethical dilemmas that arise when technology is used for harmful purposes.

The song sets the scene in a clandestine laboratory, where the protagonist and her team are working covertly for the military. They are on the verge of unleashing a new sound experiment with unknown consequences. The lyrics express their limited understanding of the potential impact, as they only know in theory what they are doing.

The chorus reveals the true intentions of the military: they desire a sound that can cause harm from a distance, potentially capable of killing. Despite the warning signs indicated by the red meters, symbolizing danger, the experiment proceeds. The protagonist realizes that a grave mistake is being made, but feels compelled to continue.

The second verse hints at the consequences of their actions. They capture sounds of pain, encompassing the agonizing cries of mothers and terrifying screams, and feed them into their machine. This highlights the inherent danger of converting distressing human experiences into a weaponized form.

The bridge suggests a conflicting emotional reaction to the experiment. It acknowledges that the sound created could feel both pleasurable and devastating. It could resemble falling in love or feeling so good, while simultaneously being a nightmare. The dream induced by the sound becomes an enemy, possibly symbolizing the numbing effect of violence and its impact on the human psyche.

In the third verse, a sense of detachment is apparent. The protagonist acknowledges that they won't be held accountable or blamed for the consequences of their experiment. The song concludes with the hope that someone else will possess the power to halt this potentially catastrophic creation by hitting the switch.

Overall, "Experiment IV" reflects on the ethical responsibility of scientists and the destructive consequences that can arise when technology is misused for harmful intent. The song serves as a cautionary tale about the potential dangers of unchecked scientific advancement in the wrong hands.

Experiment IV from The Other Sides

Watch the video here

Kate recalls:

This was written as an extra track for the compilation album The Whole Story and was released as the single. I was excited at the opportunity of directing the video and not having to appear in it other than in a minor role, especially as this song told a story that could be challenging to tell visually. I chose to film it in a very handsome old military hospital that was derelict at the time. It was a huge, labyrinthine hospital with incredibly long corridors, which was one reason for choosing it. Florence Nightingale had been involved in the design of the hospital. Not something she is well known for but she actually had a huge impact on hospital design that was pioneering and changed the way hospitals were designed from then on.

The video was an intense project and not a comfortable shoot, as you can imagine – a giant of a building, damp and full of shadows with no lighting or heating but it was like a dream to work with such a talented crew and cast with Dawn French, Hugh Laurie, Peter Vaughn and Richard Vernon in the starring roles. It was a strange and eerie feeling bringing parts of the hospital to life again. Not long after our work there it was converted into luxury apartments. I can imagine that some of those glamorous rooms have uninvited soldiers and nurses dropping by for a cup of tea and a Hobnob.

We had to create a recording studio for the video, so tape machines and outboard gear were recruited from my recording studio and the mixing console was very kindly lent to us by Abbey Rd Studios. It was the desk the Beatles had used – me too, when we’d made the album Never For Ever in Studio Two. It was such a characterful desk that would’ve looked right at home in any vintage aircraft.

Although it was a tough shoot it was a lot of fun and everyone worked so hard for such long hours. I was really pleased with the result.
