Army Dreamers
"Army Dreamers" is a music single, the third and final song to be released from the album ''Never For Ever'' by Kate Bush. It was a UK top 20 hit in October 1980.
== Background ==
"Army Dreamers" was released on 22 September 1980 and peaked at number 16 in the UK Singles Chart.〔(Chartstats - UK Chart details )〕 The song is about the effects of war and about a mother who grieves for her young adult son, who was killed on military manoeuvres. Saddened by his unnecessary death, she wrestles with her guilt over what she could have done to prevent it. The song's waltz tempo marks a change to Bush's previous singles.
The single includes two B-sides, "Delius" and "Passing Through Air". "Delius" is Bush’s tribute to English composer Frederick Delius. The subtitle, "Song of Summer", comes from one of Delius’ works, and from a BBC film Bush saw about the composer's life. "Passing Through Air" is one of Bush's earliest works—originally recorded in 1973 at David Gilmour's studio, a few weeks after her 15th birthday.〔Single sleeve information〕
The reference in the lyrics to "BFPO" refers to "British Forces Post Office", the postal system for the British armed forces, who deliver the message: ''"Our little army boy is coming home, from BFPO."''.
