"The Red Shoes" is a song written and recorded by musician Kate Bush. It was the third single released from, and is the title track of, the album The Red Shoes. "The Red Shoes" was released in April 1994 and made it to number 21 in the UK Singles Chart. The song is about a girl who puts on a pair of enchanted ballet slippers and can't stop dancing until she breaks the spell. It is inspired by a character in the Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger film The Red Shoes. "The Red Shoes" was released on 7" vinyl, as a cassette single, and as a two-part CD single. "You Want Alchemy" was the B-side song on all formats, except the second part of the CD single. The second part of the CD single was released one week after the first part, and was more dance-oriented. It features a 10-minute remix by Karl Blagan of "The Red Shoes", renamed "Shoedance", and remixes of "The Big Sky" and "Running Up That Hill".more »
