As a punk rocker back in the 1970's, Kate, I'd lie in my bed at night with my transistor radio, listening to all the new punk tracks being released worldwide. Then, one night, one of the radio presenters said this, "There's this new girl who's appeared on the scene, I don't know how to describe her, her name is Kate Bush and this track is called 'Wuthering Heights'...
Well, it's 2023 and the old punk rocker still loves you to this day, dear lady :) .
Hell yes. I'm rather ashamed that I never knew anything of Kate Bush until I dated a girl in 1989 who was into Kate Bush. I've been a fan (as in fanatic) in every sense of the word since.
I love this song too, this is my favorite band, perhaps unknown for you:

In the seventies i was in Brighton and on the peer i have heard for the first time that song and i was totally flashed!
I am.
Me too!
A beautiful hypnotic record ! Who is still enjoying this in 2024 ? 💙
I’m listening to Kate Bush The Man With His Child In His Eyes mid May 2024
2:36
I´ll enjoy the Kate Bush discography for my lifetime...
How did you come up with the idea to ask what year I'm listening? Wow
me.
❤ I am 🥰
People need to stop asking if anyone is still listening
We never stopped!
This is our Kate .. why would we ??
Are you still listening then?! 🤔😂
❤❤❤
Haven't listened for a few years. Why? WOW!!!
YES! it annoys the shit outta me! Like the top comment, absolutely pointless, just hoping they’ll get loads of replies to satisfy their boring little souls.
I agree. We never stopped.
In an age where anyone can be famous for anything, This is what a proper musical genius sounds like.
But perhaps not what it looks like!
Still waiting for my 15 minutes…
That is really sad but It is true
I so agree!
I respect that opinion, but it's not really true. It's unfortunately the media that are controlling culture now and music from the grassroots has a much more difficult time to get heard. And just think how many pubs there used to be where bands starting out could play - mostly gone now. Would we have known the Beatles without the Cavern? I am absolutely sure there is still a lot of talent out there that has no exposure. The fault for this is with the older generations who turned their noses up at culture in the pursuit of greed. 'Taking back control' is the biggest irony.
When you can write a song like this when you're 13 years old, you must have a old soul. Absolutely fantastic!
Humanity is so much more than it knows of itself.

@@JenniferGonzalez-gx5qv She wrote this song when she was 13 and performed it for the first time when she was 16.
@@jimmychooquay Um what?
And an old soul to get it cheers
In '91 my then fiancee and I had a bike accident in which she died, when her things were being sent back to her mother they found a photo' of me on that particular 'bike, on the reverse of the photo' was the title of this song. Now 29 years later this upload caught my attention and I'm crying again the same way that I did that night.
RIP Denise, I think about you every day.
Sending very gentle hugs 🤗
A woman worth knowing me thinks darling xx
💔😥 Sorry, stranger ❤️
Oh dear I'm so very very sorry and upset for you ,I hope you find the courage to be you again ,that is what I'm sure your fiancee would love x
Ahhhh to die young and in love❤️❤️
i feel for you,i hurt to but kate has always kept me togeather GOD will watch out for you i know
Composer, dancer, poet and incredible vocalist. She was a one woman army in the music scene. They dont let talents like hers blossom any more.
Producer arranger, composer
Ce disque est fantastique.
Souvent oublié dans les disques de
cette décennie.
What other artist have you heard of that had written over 200 songs at age 16/17. I don’t think I can name another. I wish it was like it was back in the old days. Real musicians who made real music and had real talent, not the machine music we have now. Kate is one of a kind!
Yes...
Lana del Rey composes, writes and produces her own videoclips, Lorde, Marina and the Diamonds.
At some point in your life, if you're lucky, you will hear a piece of music, a song or just a woman's voice. This Song represents all of those and so much more to me. I first heard this in 1978 at 18 years old, I am now 62 very nearly 63, 45 years and it still gives me goose bumps. It will be played at my funeral when I die (no plans anytime soon though) Kate's music continues to blow me away to this day. Genius.
Please, please, please, as a massive fan of Kate's, if you haven't already listen to *"The Kiss"* by *Judee Sill.*
Now sadly dead she wrote some amazing tracks but that one is so, so special. I think Kate is a big fan too. 👍

Same 🎶👍
I turned 62 in may
Kate Bush was mysteriously intriguing,and always takes you on a journey . especially now when the Nostalgia kicks in 🎶
Хороший человек и гений.
Ditto, ditto, mate. I just turned 60, and a few weeks ago I suddenly had an urge to listen to Kate Bush again. She is a genius, no doubt
Mesmerizing to me this song, I just wish it was a little longer. As teen back in the early 80s I would wait for its turn to be played on MTV, I really liked MTV in its infantsy different kinds of music VIDEOS.
Kate vibrates a little higher than most of us. ❤️
"vibrates a little higher"
You may just have a point there, my Friend...................................
Than all of us!
Love this comment
Great comment, so true. That's what true genius does - sends something out there that us lesser mortals don't fully understand, but helps what we're feeling make sense.
I'm grieving my love who died a month ago. He was 17 when I met him and he just died at 70. I feel his presence and every word in these lyrics seems to make perfect sense to me. How would a 13 year old girl write that?
Thanks for sharing. Love Caroline in Australia 🇦🇺
I'm sorry for your loss :(
im so sorry for your loss hope this song helps your sadness
Blessings to you❤
Uff, that the day I dread the most. I met my love with 17 as well. now we are in our 40´s.
I'm a grown man and this song reduces me to a gibbering wreck every time
When we we ever lose this bizarre notion that grown men shouldn't really cry? It's so unhealthy to think that tears must be ostensibly be hidden - by _any_ adult, whatever their gender...
"Maybe he doesn't love me-- I just took a trip on my love for him?' If a 13 year old really wrote that it leaves me speechless....
I know - such unbelievable insight.
Why does it leave you speechless?
She was articulating feelings about a relationship with an older man. There was an older musician in her life at this time who acted as her mentor. Unrequited teenage love? She's highly intelligent & we know she was incredibly articulate. People initially write from experience..
read that comment just as she said the line lol
This woman is operating on a different artistic level. She is hard- wired into English culture of the last 50 years. She makes songs of incomparable beauty.
Kate is actually half Irish on her Mothers Side.
oh shut up
@@ginastockings2151 born and raised in England. I heard her mother interviewed and she did not have an Irish accent. She may have Irish relatives.
Check out Eivor if you're unfamiliar with her.
@@williamglen5705 Her mother was born in Dungarvan, County Waterford.
This song makes me think of my darling dead husband. He was the man with the child in his eyes - always open, trusting, loving to those who loved him. I have a picture of him aged three. To his family he stayed as true hearted and generous as that child all his life.
Sophie Jameson 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I'm crying xxx
Thats a rare quality.
This is indeed a once in a lifetime song, beautiful in every way. I'm so sorry for you're husbands passing, it's made me cry,
ICD Code ?
Oh my God, so many years have passed. But this song has lost none of its magic and beauty.
Thank you Kate, thank you for all the beautiful moments I was able to experience with your music.
Masterpiece, written at the age of 13......Mindblowing!!!
At 13, when Kate wrote this, she seems to have a mind many years ahead. Now she is in her 60's and I've discovered, she really was so unique, a gift to all of us, that's so rare. Thank you Kate Bush.
I didn't know that. These lyrics would be amazing if written by an adult with many hits under her belt.
@@kurtissjacobs5618 She rolled up at 16 years of age to sign her contract with a posse of lawyers. EMI were terrified of her. Old head on young shoulders.
This track is haunting and beautiful.. .it doesn't age ..sounds good over 40 years later...a master piece of writing...⭐
I just described it as beautifully haunting also.
Some people don’t understand how amazing she is. Talk about perfect pitch. She’s like her own instrument that can’t be replicated
That's how I describe her voice. A musical instrument.
Plus she is self taught
Yes, - she is utterly unique!!!
So you understand the meaning of perfect pitch?
But some do.
LYRICS:
I hear him, before I go to sleep
And focus on the day that's been
I realise he's there
When I turn the light off and turn over
Nobody knows about my man
They think he's lost on some horizon
And suddenly I find myself
Listening to a man I've never known before
Telling me about the sea
All his love is 'til eternity
Ooh, he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
Ooh, he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
He's very understanding
And he's so aware of all my situations
When I stay up late
He's always waiting, but I feel him hesitate
Oh, I'm so worried about my love
They say, "No, no, it won't last forever!"
And here I am again, my girl
Wondering what on Earth I'm doing here
Maybe he doesn't love me
I just took a trip on my love for him
Ooh, he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
Ooh, he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
Personally think she is the greatest female artist ever .
Together with tori amos
100% agree
Totally agree.
The greatest artist of modern music, period. A talented writer and singer of incredible versatility and range, who has always treated her own work with respect. Not clinging to whatever has proven successful, nor doing "new" things for the sake of being "edgy". Her music feels as if it has not been written for us; she's doing her own thing and we're just along for the ride. I am so glad that young people of today are rediscovering this wonderful music.
The only female artist to have an album in the top ten in each of the past four decades, didnt do a show in over twenty years but still managed to sell out two shows in the 02 arena within 15 minutes of tickets going on sale, of course she is!
Eccentric, creative, a little bonkers, original, classy, genius. The legend that is Kate 👌🏻
Yes 🙌
She wrote this when she was 13. Let that sink in.
@@DrewJPS yes I know 👍🏼
She's a genius.
@@DrewJPS absolutely 😊
If you put a human, a fairy, a siren and a unicorn in a blender, you get a Kate Bush. Only her songs can descripe the beauty of this women.
My favourite Kate Bush song. Beautiful.
Mine to.
Despite an endless supply of brilliant material I'm not sure she ever beat this song and video. Both are mesmerising. Her vocal is also velvet perfection and a brilliantly composed piano piece.
The highest praise I can give her is that I regarded her as the female equivalent of Bowie. Her incorporation of dance and mime into her act, wonderful songs and videos and sheer originality made her the best British artiste of her time. Her superlative talent only highlighted by the sheer dross around today.
Equivalent of David Bowie! That is so spot on!
Bowie couldn't lace her boots.
@@pedrodelgado6214 A matter of opinion?
Kate is Goddess. Bowie is God.
They both had the same dance teacher for a while.
Bush was a huge Bowie-head
Absolutely stunning, beautiful...Kate is a genius. Love her.
Hey friend, how are you doing today today today??
yes indeed stunning, no other word for it...
Her voice was always and still magic
I was 22 years old when this was first released and it was beautiful then. Having just listened to it now at the age of 67 it has gone way beyond beautiful into something quite magical and utterly brilliant.
Easily THE Best British female musician of all time
you can delete female
Who would the competition even be?
does Australian SIA kinda count as British?
if so,..I may favors Sia's voice for being more jazz soulful
not only british
Isn't she Irish?
Profoundly beautiful
Her best song IMO. And she wrote it when she was 13. Freak of nature and I'm so thankful that I share my little slice of life with her.
She saw a light and she followed
In the 1970s i met a girl while on holiday, we were young and fell in love. I never saw her again but I still miss her to this day. This song was on the radio at that time and I think of her whenever i hear it as if it was just yesterday. I hope you had a good life Suzanne T.
My late brothers favorite artist.he was in love with her...
Its the anniversary of his death on the 8th..
I miss him,and listening to the music he liked makes me feel close to him
Lets hope we have music in the afterlife.
im so sorry :(
Boys of a certain age - we were all in love with Kate. What's not to love? Your brother had exquisite taste.
The Kick Inside just has to be one of the FINEST debut albums ever ever recorded.
Lionheart was also good.
@@mop714 Of course.
The fact Wuthering Heights comes right after this gets me everytime, perfect transition
Amen to that!
No doubt about that at all ; but Bjork, Vashti Bunyan and Enya's Watermark are worth a mention.
Came here by way of Rick Beato in 2023. Wasn't aware of this song before now. This performance is magnificent, the songwriting is exquisite. Totally blown away.
@mikeweber5362 Rick knows his stuff. Kate sang and played piano at 16, after writing it at 13. composed most of the first two albums before she was 15.
She wrote this when she was thirteen. Incredible.
Always in tears when I hear this. I'm no wimp this just moves me. Gorgeous.
I cry at all her songs, everytime.
Wimp, hehe. Love her too .
this song makes my nose sweat ….a lot
52 and it did and still does the same to me... Beautiful
Me too. It’s because I wanted her to write it for me. For someone to think that of you. To this day this reaches in. I’m ex military and I still have no idea why.
She actually wrote this at the age of 13 and recorded at 16.
Next time you watch one of these endless stream of TV talent shows and the wannabees (having sang yet another cover song) are told , "you are marvellous" , please remember that fact and appreciate what a real musical genius is!
pookie dad I've always loved this song as I imagined a woman with a man who had childish attributes, therefore a man with a child in his eyes, like me.
What you're saying is something very different. If a 13 year old child wrote this about her lover then it's a man with a child in his eyes.
This song was on the cremation of my grandpa,😭😭😫😫
Yeah, well said. Puts it all into perspective huh?
Respect to him. Preserve and promote that part of your thinking that honours your grandpa that such a great song was used in his commemoration. It always speaks volumes to the character of a person in who remembers him and how he is remembered. Having this song as a tribute surely means he enjoyed the love of many for how he lived. My condolences mate.
Copy that buddy
This never fails to bring tears. I especially love the use of the French horn in its medium to upper register--such warmth! And when the horn doubles Kate in the chorus, it's so effective!
Good analysis man.
Played the clarinet in school but always loved the French horn
It's the descending harmonies that lead into the chorus that I enjoy the most. Well crafted song, but there could have been a greater emphasis on melody over the harmonies I mentioned.
@@crescentsi Great observation about the harmonies. They do lend a very dreamy tone to that part of the song. They kind of remind me of the descending chromaticism in the passage where Wotan evokes the magic fire music at the end of Walkuere.
Pause for a moment as you enjoy the sublime Kate Bush, and remember that she was *_JUST 13 YEARS OLD_* when she wrote this masterpiece... 🖤
Wow what a song!!
beautiful, haunting. She goes right to your soul.
Even though this is a very early composition of hers, I think musically speaking, it may be her best song.
She was 13 when she wrote this - just an amazing talent
England take good care of this Angel please, she is unique and one of the few remaining Greats in Music. 💜Kate 4ever
True.
Kate Bush is a national treasure. The only one that has never let us down. She comes from a place of genius, born of such purity and elegance, that we can only listen and gaze in wonderment. She is to music and poetry what the moon and stars are to the night sky.
So right on xxx
Beautifully put and so true.
I bought the 45 in 1978 with this song at 21 yo and still have it today in 2024 at 66 yo and still love it…
I swear she's from another world
“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams
Great quote, never heard that one before, thanks.
@@JS-zz2hz 💙💚💛
The strings and French horn arrangement (in combination with the beautiful melody, singing and words) brings tears to the eyes. Oh the power of music.
Very well said
I was 19 years old when I heard Wuthering Heights! I was instantly mesmerized by it. I am 63 years old now, still listen to it, and still can sing it. Kate was really out of this world!
I fell in love with Kate Bush when I was a teenager. I'm 61 now and she is still a Goddess to me.
This girl is a genius.
Hands down the most talented woman to ever grace our ears. The way she modulates is incredible.
It's completely ridiculous that someone could write something so lyrically perfect at 13 years old. Occasionally, artists come along that are more than gifted. Kate is definitely one of them.
How many artists can say they write their own songs, play many of the instruments, choreograph their videos and sing, play, dance, and perform so perfectly.
The fact that many of her hits were written as a teenager is crazy
She's a genius
I totally agree. And I think it is not far fetched that some started to believe in good listening to this song. This song goes far beyond the regular qualities. It is devine.
This song takes me back to August 1978 in North Devon and we had simple pleasures...
2024 and this still has me in tears such talent is so rare
I’m listening to Kate Bush The Man With The Child His Eyes late May 2024
1:37
Thanks to Dave Gilmour for finding this gem of utter brilliance for us. Kate is incomparable.
I always get goosebumps when kate says 'he's here, he's here' and the little chuckle. Still think this is kate at her best.
Beautiful song. What a fantastic songwriter. Unequalled
God I just love her voice. So distinctive and a full vocal range. Simply stunning.
Interesting to note...... Kate was 13 when writing this, makes it 1971. That was the year of two other classic albums by extremely talented women..... "Tapestry" by Carole King and "Blue" by Joni Mitchell........
What I've always loved about this song is that part where she sings "Oooh, he's here again" and it's like her voice becomes one with the brass instrumental of the song. Totally enchanting.
Ah my youth. I was an 80's jazz funk soulster. BUT when I heard this I was blown away. Sucked into a world of pure clarity innocence and wonderment. Kate you transformed the 70s and 80s. Priceless xx
This is timeless, like waves lapping too and fro gently caressing the sand. Her voice strokes the brain with smooth melodic fingers. Kate Bush is quite simply unique, never to be equalled or bettered.
My favourite Kate Bush song too - soothing voice and hauntingly beautiful music.
ruclips.net/video/sarNXA5XT_k/видео.html
I fully agree
She was 13 when she wrote this.....that almost taking the piss with talent..stunning talent.
*****
you eejit, now ive just spat coffee all over my monitor through laughing...
And ctid..
u cudnt be any older.
I always enjoyed this song thinking Kate was singing about her lover who had childish tendencies, ie the man with the child in his eyes.
Now I'm thinking a 13 year old child wrote this song about her lover who was much older, ie the man with the child in his eyes. That makes this song mean something very different.
@@forlorndream1400 maybe she had a vivid imagination of love, many young girls do. Im the same age as her and if my parents had ever seen my diary at that age they would have been shocked
she was 16
I was 9-years-old when this was released. I remember it well. Hearing Kate Bush on the radio in Ireland in the late 1970s was both haunting and uplifting.
Thanks for your sincere compliment and love,I’m not complete without you as my Fan I have you to be most thankful for 🌹🌹🌹🌹🥰❤️
One of the best songs ever written by a then 13 year old music genius ❤️
I hear him
Before I go to sleep
And focus on the day that's been
I realize he's there
When I turn the light off
And turn over
Nobody knows about my man
They think he's lost on some horizon
And suddenly I find myself listening
To a man I've never known before
Telling me about the sea
Oh his love is to eternity
Ooh he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
Ooh he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
He's very understanding and he's so
Aware of all my situations
When I stay up late
He's always with me
What I feel when I hesitate
Oh I'm so worried about my love
They say no, No it won't last forever
And here I am again my girl
Wondering what on earth I am doing here
Maybe he doesn't love me
I just took a trip on my love for him
Ooh he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
Ooh he's here again
The man with the child in his eyes
Minor adjustment Hes' always with me etc.. should be he's always waiting , but I feel him hesitate
Canção lindíssima de uma letra incrível
99.9 percent of people don't get the meaning of this song. It's a tragedy.
@@sullivanbreen4186 She never said what the meaning was.
@@stylogalaxy she did
Moved me when I was a teen, moved me when I became a father and her music continues to move me as I become a grandfather...
Amazing, haunting an absolute masterpiece. No other female artist comes close. Come to think of it not many male ones do.
Kate Bush is addictive!
Is she really human, or an Angel with a divine voice? Always gives me goose bumps.
Dear Dann...
This is your song. We played it for you at your memorial. I hope you were pleased.
How can we tell you how special you will always be, to so many people?
We all love you and miss you.
With love,

Hey friend, how are you doing today today today??
❤️
Thought she was crazy when I first saw wuthering heights on top of the pops in 77. Came to luv her. Quirky, contemporary, gifted ,beautiful. Grown old with this music. Thankyou Kate Bush. Yes still listening in 2024.
it is incredible that a thirteen year old girl wrote this masterpiece
it is incredible that a 13 year old anything wrote this
This song is timeless. I'm listening to it in 2020 and it feels as if the song has been composed recently.
Great music will never age! 78/79 I think
That is eerie. I've never met anyone that talented.
Haven’t seen stranger things. Have simply loved Kate for decades, this song gives the same chills after 40 yrs✌🏽
Kate Bush had many fans before that kid's show came along😉
The much adored and appreciated genius Kate Bush. Kudos to the people who wrote and played the orchestral backing too. There's staggering beauty in how it complemented Kate's compositions.
Nearly 40 years old this record is what a genius this woman is
She wrote it almost 50 years ago...
I have vague memories of hearing this song on the radio, sometime in late 1978 when I was 16. At first, I didn't pay a lot of attention to it, but when I heard the song again when I was in my late 30s, I recognized it, realized how haunting and beautiful it was and how it brought back memories of my years as a teenager. Even today I find the song no less haunting and beautiful.
Truly, a masterpiece and arguably one of the top 100 songs of the late 20th century.
I now understand why my dad loved Kate Bush.. Him being a musician I mean.
This really is beautiful
Such gorgeous expressiveness. Musically, lyrically and visually Kate is an angel, a nymph and a faery. Fantastic!
I can only share it with you and 1000000000... Another's KB fans
My favourite Kate Bush song. The one I'd take to a desert island with me. She wrote this when she was 13! Prodigy...
the first Björk style artist :)
It's the other way around.
Sam F Yes, that's what I was implying by my second comment above.
I do believe you are mistaken.Recent studies have proven without a doubt ; she wrote it at the tender age of 7.On the night of the 24th of december during a raging blizzard.Her prophecy became a reality the very next morning.All the stockings were filled.I mean.......come on!Check your facts and stop the worship.
This the most beautiful song ever
I want to wipe my mind completely out and listen to her music again and again…
she was so beautiful............I thank her so much for her music.
It's amazing that she wrote this when she was 13! What talent at such a young age!
She's always been my favourite female music artist & I do mean artist !
I first heard this song by Kate Bush in 1978 aged 14 years, and at time it's a beautiful song and still is today
This is just insanely good. 💯
My Dad died when this was released and I wasn't there for him. When I hear he's hear again, I imagine my Dad has returned. One absolute beautiful song.
Your dad will always love you.
Absolutley beautiful.
At 13 I was practising applying eyeshadow and mooning over Adam Ant, whilst Kate was creating this genius piece of music! Pure talent and a lovely humble lady
Kate Bush is incredible. Beautiful melodies, haunting voice, soulful choreography. Nothing like it today.
It’s so beautiful it breaks my heart..
Beautiful music has a soul, and lives forever!
Peace and love to all!
I absolutely adore this song. The "ooooooo" leading into the chorus is so hypnotic.
Note perfect. The horns and her voice become one.
Quote from Kate Bush (forward to How to Be Invisible Lyric Book)
A few years ago I happened to meet the man I'd been madly in love with when I was about thirteen. It had been a real schoolgirl's crush, and he had had no idea. When I told him that he was 'The Man with the Child in his Eyes' , and that I had written the song for him, he was extremely surprised. I got the feeling it kind of made his day, but I don't think he ever told anyone. I'm not sure he really believed me.
She also indicates she was 15 not 16 when she recorded the final version of the song as it was in the middle of her mock O levels making it 1974 rather than the usually reported 1975.
We finally know the mystery to the song!
