Wuthering Heights, written and composed by Kate Bush, was inspired by the novel of the same name by Emily Brontë. Bush first read the novel in her teen years and was moved by its story. After dreaming about the book, she wrote the lyrics and music within just a few hours. Released in 1978, the song became a major hit, defining Bushs career and becoming one of her most recognizable singles.
