Track Description
Available in:
"King of the Mountain" was released as a single by EMI Records on 24 October 2005 - Kate Bushés first single since "And So Is Love," which had been released 12 years before. It was first played on BBC Radio 2 on 21 September 2005.

Written about ten years before most of the songs on Aerial, the lyrics enquire whether Elvis Presley might still be alive someplace, "...looking like a happy man..." and playing with "Rosebud", Kane's childhood's sledge, and comment on the pressures of extreme fame and wealth. In a November 2005 interview with BBC Four's "Front Row" Bush said, "I don't think human beings are really built to withstand that kind of fame." Sung in a slightly slurred Elvis-type manner, the track was produced by Bush; the recording was engineered by Del Palmer and mastered by James Guthrie.
