Editing Wuthering Heights (section)

===Music===
[[Kate Bush]]'s 1978 song "[[Wuthering Heights (song)|Wuthering Heights]]" is most likely the best-known creative work inspired by Brontë's story that is not properly an "adaptation". Bush wrote the song when she was 18 and chose it as the lead single from her debut album. It was primarily inspired by her viewing of the 1967 BBC adaptation. The song is sung from Catherine's point of view as she pleads at Heathcliff's window to be admitted. It uses quotations from Catherine, both in the chorus ("Let me in! I'm so cold!") and the verses, with Catherine admitting she had "bad dreams in the night". Critic Sheila Whiteley wrote that the ethereal quality of the vocal resonates with Cathy's dementia, and that Bush's high register has both "childlike qualities in its purity of tone" and an "underlying eroticism in its sinuous erotic contours".<ref>{{cite book |title=Too much too young: popular music, age and gender |last=Whiteley |first=Sheila |year=2005 |publisher=Psychology Press |isbn=0-415-31029-6 |page=[https://archive.org/details/toomuchtooyoungp0000whit/page/9 9] |url=https://archive.org/details/toomuchtooyoungp0000whit/page/9 }}</ref> Singer [[Pat Benatar]] covered the song in 1980 on her [[Crimes of Passion (Pat Benatar album)|''Crimes of Passion'']] album.

''[[Wind & Wuthering]]'' (1976) by English rock band [[Genesis (band)|Genesis]] alludes to the Brontë novel not only in the album's title but also in the titles of two of its tracks, "Unquiet Slumbers for the Sleepers..." and "...In That Quiet Earth". Both titles refer to the closing lines of the novel.

Songwriter [[Jim Steinman]] said that he wrote the 1989 song "[[It's All Coming Back to Me Now]]" "while under the influence of ''Wuthering Heights''". He said that the song was "about being enslaved and obsessed by love" and compared it to "Heathcliff digging up Cathy's corpse and dancing with it in the cold moonlight".<ref name="artist">{{cite web |first=Jim |last=Steinman |work=JimSteinman.com |title=Jim Steinman on "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" |url=http://www.jimsteinman.com/backtome.htm |access-date=13 August 2017}}</ref>
