"The Red Shoes" was released in April 1994 and made it to number 21 in the UK Singles Chart.[2] 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".

[ru] The Red Shoes (песня)

«The Red Shoes» (с англ. — «Красные туфельки») — песня британской певицы и композитора Кейт Буш; заглавная композиция и третий сингл из одноимённого студийного альбома, выпущенный 4 апреля 1994 года и достигший 21-го места в британском хит-параде UK Singles Chart[1]. Сюжет песни — рассказ о девушке, надевшей заколдованные балетные туфельки и вынужденной танцевать до тех пор, пока заклятие не будет снято — основан на фильме Майкла Пауэлла и Эмерика Прессбургера «Красные башмачки» (1948). Песня является также ключевой для фильма Кейт Буш «Линия, крест и кривая» (1993), в котором звучат песни из альбома.
