Kate Bush is an absolute genius. One of the most original voice in music, as both a singer and a songwriter. Not to mention director, choreographer and everything else she does.
I have always believed that this song is, hands down, the saddest, most poignant lamentation ever written. The video just amps up the loss and grief to a level that's almost too much to bear. One of Kate's many moments of perfection.
We Americans came late to the musical beauty of Kate Bush. It's been a pleasure finding her repertoire/voice. This song in particular affects my heart because it's so brutally beautiful.
@gijsbertuslaurensvandevooren think I said that...lapses of time raising children/working/breaking relationships will do that to some people. We and friends were 30-somethings apparently devoid of current/upcoming artists. Took a bit to get back to. Thanks.
Beth, I've heard this song myriad times since it was released and was always haunted by how beautifully tragic it is, but the first time I heard it after my wife died, 7 years ago, it absolutely CRUSHED me and I haven't been able to listen to it since without breaking down. So.... here I am crying with you, and I hope you never have to experience losing a partner prematurely. Thank you for your always thoughtful input and analysis of so many great songs.
I lost my wife 3 1/2 years ago so I know what you are going through Barry. May the God of all comfort, comfort you as well. Likewise, I can't listen to or sing Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now" without breaking down. Losing the love of your life is devastating for the surviving partner but having someone to share love with is so special. I'm reminded that it's better to have loved and lost than to not have loved at all. I would hope Beth could find that special person to share her life with as we have done.
This was used in the movie She's having a Baby with Kevin Bacon and Elizabeth McGovern and depicts the situation where they almost loses their baby and Kevin Bacons character is in fear of loosing his wife. It is really heart wrenching. I love this song and it never gets old.
This song is a great example of how mature and singular Kate is as a songwriter. To capture these nuanced emotions from the male perspective and yet still have it feel universal to all genders is quite an impressive feat. And on top of that her emotive vocal performance shows why she's such a brilliant vocalist.
I've found one of the most stunning variations in her voice to be the beginning of "Night of the Swallow." You only need about 21 seconds to hear it. And the Celtic influence with pipes and melody are right out there in the forefront.
There's a generosity of spirit in Bush's voice, and it's rare to hear a song written and performed by a woman that is fully given over to compassion for men.
I just love your beautiful and intricate analyses. I grew up with Kate Bush, so it's interesting to hear a description of how she's using her unique voice. I've not seen /heard this song played for many years and I cried with you. Thank you for reviving it for me and helping me hear it with new ears and appreciation appreciation
This song is without question the most important & expressive song . When you lose someone. The song reaches deeply to love you feel now & always will ,it’s an exceptional song . One on a million
This song kills me every time. And when combined with that video it’s almost too much. Tim McInnerny who stars in the video was known for his comic character ‘Captain Darling’ from Blackadder (I’m old!) so to see him in such a tragic role is even more heartbreaking and he does it really well. Love Kate, and this is definitely one of my favourite of her songs. Thanks for the video.
Great reaction to a great artist and an iconic song! Whenever my wife or I have to leave home for work (or any other reason) we always say 'I love you' regardless of moods or situation, love is above all other things, and this song is so much about regret when it may be too late! Keep the reactions coming please Beth.
Kate Bush what a legend! This song/video has always really got to me, the emotion in this song is 2nd to none. Also as you prob know this hit song and hit album it came off of: Sensual World was recorded in her home studio in Kent in Welling. My friend Fraser him and his family's GP was Kate's dad Robert Bush who worked South East London in Plumstead know. And we used to speak to him loads when he finished work or when we was in Kent in Bexleyheath, Welling, Dartford, Swanley etc, on our bikes- He some times gave us a lift back to Kent from Plumstead-Such a nice man! + some times said hello to Hannah as well as Kate. Her mum Hannah sometimes did us a massive jug of Orange squash which we drank in the garden + memories I will always cherish 😊 Yea some of her songs sound Irish as her mum Hannah was from Ireland before moving to Essex with Robert then Kent. So proud she came from Kent like me 🤘🏻
I just recently saw your reaction to this beautiful heart wrenching song. My wife and I are dealing with a very serious health issue she is going through and like yourself, though I've seen/heard this song many times before seeing you tear up just made me do the same.
Sending ❤ and hugs for you and this reaction video. Kate Bush is amazing, your reaction was so pure, loved it. (and of course I'm listening to your single, looking forward to the album!)
Dear Beth, You have such a beautiful and accessible understanding of music and the voice. Thank you for sharing yourself in the ways that you do. Thank you for your beauty, warmth, enthusiasm, and most importantly, your vulnerability. It's lovely to witness!
I can't even say how happy I am that you highlighted this song...from the first time I heard it (in the 80's!!!) it has been the saddest, most evocative song I've ever heard...
Absolutely one of the most beautiful voices on our planet, in my humble opinion. Kate has an angelic voice and can connect with anyone, on some level. What an amazing gift to have......... Peace Beth! Skal!
Pure genius .. writing profound music from 12 /13 years old (man with the child in her eyes) No words now just tears. I’m so grateful I grew up with her … so grateful
Kate Bush is a one-of-a-kind genius - I've been hooked since I first saw her Wuthering Heights video one Saturday morning when I was a student, and have loved her music ever since. This song is one of her best, among many other great songs; it's simplicity is one of the things that makes it so effective, and combined with the video it's a work of tremendous emotional heft. Not surprised at your reaction, Beth - it does that to many of us!
This video remembers my of a elderly couple who were my neighbours. He lost her like this. She was a lovely woman, he seemed very kind. I was really sad when it happened,; he passed away two years later.
It’s the intricate complexity of her vocals that I really key in on. There’s so much going on with it that not noticeable at first. I’ve listened to Deal with God, on headphones about 300 times and still hear something new. I listen to The 9th Wave quite often as well.
I think I may have asked you to do this a long time ago. I am 66 and I have heard a lot of music but this may be the best song I have ever heard. I cry every time too.
Kate has always had this unique way of playing around with sounds and in some ways being experimental. Even in Wuthering Heights she used her voice in a way that is pretty unique and special. She is a unique and special lady and has gained a cult like following, and for good reason
Cara Beth... Sei unica....la tua commozione non mi ha fatto sentire " fuori ".... Ho pianto nello stesso tuo momento del brano. Sei una vera professionista...hai colto tutto di questa meravigliosa interpretazione di Kate....❤ Grazie❤❤
Loved Kate since the very start, this is hauntingly beautiful and a timeless reminder of how fast you can lose everything and be left with what it’s. Would love to hear your analysis of Birdys Ghost in the wind 😊
Kate's father, Robert, was a medical doctor. He showed her middle C on the piano and Kate figured out the rest; she's self taught. He might have played the piano but not professionally.
Not only did Kate have a naturally gorgeous voice, but her singing range was amazing, not just the note range, but the tambers and expressiveness. The emotional range. Combined with her writing and musical talent, she’s totally unique.
I kinda wish you’d let it run as long as you could before needing to pause for copyright reasons. Hope you watch through again on your own and really feel it from the beginning.
This song is featured in "She's Having a Baby". Never met anyone who could watch this scene and not shed a tear. Check it out! You won't be disappointed.
There's something about her voice that sounds like a Broadway performer (it calls to mind Bernadette Peters), which isn't exactly my favorite vocal quality overall, but I love her music nevertheless, and this song in particularly truly is soul touching. I appreciate her technical vocal ability *and* her eagerness to use its versatility to make unpretty sounds that create soundscapes and musical tapestries. She's an utterly unique artist. My favorite artist overall is Tori Amos for a variety of reasons, and the two women are constantly compared with one another, but to me most of their similarities are superficial. The similarities that are not superficial are still different-for example, both create unusual song structures and write about esoteric ideas in often-cryptic ways, but I regard Kate mostly as a musical short story writer who examines themes of art and philosophy, and Tori as a confessional poet and essayist whose themes span the breadth of humanity that Shakespeare's writing does. Kate's voice and Tori's voice both are high pitched and breathy and used in creative ways, but Kate to me sounds theatrical and Tori sounds very rock influenced even when singing quiet songs. But they have one thing in common that is foundational to their music: empathy runs through it all as the common thread. I discovered Kate's music long after I had known Tori's intimately and I am so grateful for the comparisons ultimately because I never would have listened to her music otherwise. She is my next favorite musician, and the two artists are many leagues ahead of any other for me. They've enriched my life so much, and while Kate's songs are too different from one another to directly compare them, this song is really her most touching and straightforward to me. If she had only written and recorded this song and no other, that alone would have made her a great artist. The psychological layers of a woman writing and singing from the perspective of a powerless man admiring his partner's strength and summoning it so that she can save herself is so thoughtful and dimensional for such a straightforward-sounding ballad. I pray Kate will come out of hiding soon and share more of her genius with us. The world needs more empathy and more beauty now more than ever before in my lifetime.
@@niel_nds6889 He's specifically talking about the vocals. Not her nationality. Kate's vocal on "Mna na hEireann" (Women Of Ireland) cannot be described as anything but Irish.
No matter how you look at this song, from a pianist, vocalist, whatever viewpoint, technical or not; 05:10 [in this video] and beyond just kills you...
Lovely 💖 Check out Swedish singer Maja Francis cover of this and her own work. She is amazing, cross between Kate Bush and Dolly Parton yet has her own unique style ❤
Dave Gilmour from Pink Floyd helped her get her record deal. Although he’s quite humble about it and insists she was so talented she’d have eventually got one with or without his help
"He's quite humble about it" = Gilmour never write compose produce Kate Bush. Bush is responsible of her success as songwriter composer producer arranger.... Gilmour just did a favor to friend publicist Ricky Hopper who told him about his friend (John Bush) little sister...Just sayin'
@@isobeljames1328 no disrespect but are you an idiot? I never claimed he composed or produced anything she did. But he recognised her talent, helped her make professional sounding demos which he funded himself, and he then passed these demos onto his record label. Kate Bush herself said he’s a hero to her for doing that. So sit down please.
Even in my most hardcore/death metal days in the eighties and nineties, I still had a real love of several female performers of the time period...Kate Bush, Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan, Hope Sandoval, Natalie Merchant...all of them had an impact on my life in some small way...
I always thought The Dreaming (1982) was just as extreme and unconventional musically as extreme metal, in some ways in the Thrash tradition but channeled through pop. Weird intuition but I'm convinced a lot of metalheads like Kate Bush.
Kate Bush is an absolute genius. One of the most original voice in music, as both a singer and a songwriter. Not to mention director, choreographer and everything else she does.
Couldn't agree more. She's a complete artist. I only started listening to her music recently and have been blown away ever since.
@@iutchubeEnjoy the ride 😊

Kate's most Powerful recording hands down
I have always believed that this song is, hands down, the saddest, most poignant lamentation ever written. The video just amps up the loss and grief to a level that's almost too much to bear. One of Kate's many moments of perfection.
So true. Mazzy Star's Into Dust is similar in its poignant lamentation but instead is regarding relationships.
It hurts.
We Americans came late to the musical beauty of Kate Bush. It's been a pleasure finding her repertoire/voice. This song in particular affects my heart because it's so brutally beautiful.
We Canadians have always loved her.
I don't know about that. I've been listening to her since the 80s
@@Amm1ttai guess I came late.
You wer very late.the whole World adored her

Lost my wife 5 years ago. Very difficult to listen to this song.

John Hughes commissioned Kate Bush to write the song for the movie.
Omg that scene.......

Her song.

Her video.
A masterpiece.
I couldn't help but crying too. This is an incredibly powerful song, written for men with so much love and compassion.
This song speaks to so many people, on so many levels. It brings me to tears.
Such a delicate but rawly emotional presentation. Dramatic in such an organic and unpretentious way. Genius.
There's a generosity of spirit in Bush's voice, and it's rare to hear a song written and performed by a woman that is fully given over to compassion for men.

It actually always reminds me of his role in Notting Hill, where there is also a moment of him carrying his wife.

@@Ethrianor aw I love Blackadder the II, probably my favourite series!
"such a tragic role is even more heartbreaking and he does it really well."
With no dialogue.
Check out Hugh Laurie in Experiment IV (and grouty from porridge)
Kate Bush is one of the most gifted songwriters, composers, singers of all time. She even is a good producer. Full package, incredible artist.
I adore this song… I listen to it for so many many years and every time it hits me like the first time because it’s so beautiful and special

Is she Dame Kate Bush? If not should she should be. My number one go to musician singer all my life. Genius for sure. ❤
When you said: "Oh, I'm going", I was already gone. Happens to me every time I hear this song and I love it. Might be my favourite Kate Bush song.
Eventually this song and video undoes me. Every single time.
My hands-down favorite artist of all time… been a fan since her first album came out.
I love Kate, but I never connected with this song until watching your reaction to it. Now I love it. Thank you.
I love Kate Bush! So happy to see this reaction. She is a timeless artist. Check out "Love And Anger" with amazing guitar work from David Gilmour.

This song moves me every time I hear it! Got some wet eyes again... One of (if not the) masterpiece(s) of Kate Bush's work!
Kate is a great piano player as well.
this is just beautiful...really moved me.
This song kills me because it was in the Christmas special for the TV show The Extras.
Super sad pathos stuff.

when you got emotional at the part when she sings (I should be crying but i just can't let it show) it punched me in the gut too. 😢😢
Kate Bush has me feeling emotions that I can't even name
Kate Bush has been my favorite female artist since 1979. This is why.
A song so sweet and gentle and brutal. 😵💫
Absolutely beautiful, you explained some beautiful details here. Thank you 🙏
i wanted to say your ig post you reminded me of Kate
Wow just washing this video as I recently turn into a massive Kate Bush fan xd And definetly gona shake out your music too!! Cool!

about Wuthering Heights I always thought she just watched the black & white movie 🙂 with Cath clawing outside the window looking in...
My wife crys as soon as the piano starts. Absolutely beautiful
"She's having a Baby" was my initial exposure to this performance. I ugly cried. Totally snot faced.

Great Reaction Beth. This song is wonderful. There's an 80s movie called "She's Having a Baby" that features the whole song.
1:00 Mná na hÉireann is a song she recorded that’s literally Celtic!
Kate's father, Robert, was a medical doctor. He showed her middle C on the piano and Kate figured out the rest; she's self taught. He might have played the piano but not professionally.
Listen to the version that Jennie Abrahamson & Gothenburg Symphony makes of This womans work
