Wuthering Heights (song) 18, within a few hours late at night on 5 March 1977. She was inspired after seeing the 1967 BBC adaptation of the 1847 novel "Wuthering Heights". She then read the book and discovered that she shared her birthday with author Emily Brontë. "Wuthering Heights" is sung from the perspective of the "Wuthering Heights" character Catherine Earnshaw, pleading at Heathcliff's window to be allowed in. It quotes Catherine's dialogue, including the chorus lyric "Let me in! I'm so cold!" and "bad dreams in the night". Critic Simon Reynolds described it as "Gothic romance distilled into four-and-a-half minutes of gaseous rhapsody".
Wuthering Heights (band) are deeply personal, sometimes disturbing studies of the human condition. While exorcising personal demons on one level, underneath lurks the doom of modern civilization itself. While perhaps not as overtly pagan in outlook as other artists, the forces of Nature are the backbone of Ravn´s poetry. The band does not reference 19th-century literature in their lyrics to any real extent, despite the fact the band takes its name from the novel "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Brontë, and despite the allusion in the name of their 2004 album "Far From the Madding Crowd" to Thomas Hardy.
