I've been a big fan of Kate Bush since 1979... I never believed America gave her the credit she deserved until now..I'm glad people are now getting a chance to see how great she is..
The U.S. really missed the boat with Kate Bush. I saw her on SNL in 1978 and was ensorcelled, she is one of my favorite artists of all time. Kate's work is so deep and transportive that you never get tired of it. I'm really happy that she's getting renewed attention with Running Up That Hill being a #1 hit worldwide, it's truly an amazing story.
Not of any great concern credit wasn’t necessary I’m sure millions of Americans would have known of her and been struck by her talents as a writer, singer musician, composer, dancer, actress, producer since she was a teenager.
I’m Australian and thankful that we got it. Kate has always been with me since I first heard her in 85. (I was only 8) It really is great that good music still has a chance to pop its creative head up from time to time and drown out the usual dross. Kate is one of the all time greats, enjoy America 😊
Kate Bush is such an unique, creative, talented, moving and inspiring artist, the kind that transcends trends, genres, styles and through time. I am just glad finally new generations, not just of talented artists, but mainstream audiences, are starting to appreciate her.
I’m crying too- men don’t always realize how serious childbirth can go- once faced they have to pull inner strength and start the beautiful appreciation of life- feeling helpless forcing this farther to examine himself learn. Beautiful Sage advice. What a great song that teaches empathy for each other during a crisis.
What a beautiful description, and so very true. That really is at the core of this extraordinary song. As a man, I'm in awe of Kate Bush's emotional insight in this song. It's always humbling and acutely emotional any time I hear this song. It stirs up a lot of feelings and raw memories.
Yes..agreed. This is the most vulnerable,useless,frightening and agonizing feeling for a man when you love and care for someone that much. During this part of a woman's work,all the physical strength he may have and all the physical things he can do in the world outside for her,are useless. He is powerless. And all he can do is, wait...think...wonder...hope...pray. And,yes...cry...
Yeah It’s okay to drop a tear she hits you with that thunderbolt and your hooked , powerful artist and a genuinely touching reactions that’s what Kate does best connection 🌍✌🏼
Kate Bush is a deep-dive, there is so much to explore in her catalog and everything she does is magical and amazing. One of the greatest musicians of all time - there is no one like her, a real artistic genius, highly influential and a real pioneer for women in the music industry
Dude, love your reaction to this.. this song just destroys me every single time. . .even the first 20 seconds have more depth and feeling in them than most songs. Kate is truly one of a kind. I first remember hearing Wuthering Heights in about 1982 when i was 5 or 6 years old driving down to Cornwall (UK) with my parents and being completely, utterly bewitched by her....it seemed to awaken something in me, an emotional resonance, so I spent the next 40 years looking for music that gave me that emotional feeling... she is the G.O.A.T glad you like it man 🤜🤛
She is so authentic, she is singing from her soul and she touches us. It's so real, most people are moved by her voice. We all cried! React to 'Dont Give Up' Peter gabriel and Kate bush. The lyrics are gonna get you this time!!!
@@J.Fro90 I really enjoyed! She has a great catalog. I recommend two more recent songs after 2000s called 'Sunset' which has a chill sound quality and the epic 'Nocturn'. These tracks are some of the best most evocative produced songs and with Kate's soothing voice really transporting us elsewhere.
Great honest reaction. Personal opinion of course, but too many people consider her to be the greatest living female artist for there to be nothing in that. Original, unique and basically the full package - singer/songwriter, pianist, producer, video director, trained dancer/mime, choreographer. The nurse’s smile at the end of the video reassures there was a good outcome, just as there was for mother and unborn baby in the Kevin Bacon film Kate wrote the song for ‘She’s Having a Baby’. I look forward to you doing more Kate Bush videos. Her early videos from the age of 19 were very theatrical and often sung in a high register (e.g ‘Wuthering Heights’ and ‘Wow’). By the time of the Hounds of Love album (from which came Running Up That Hill, Hounds Of Love and Cloudbusting) she was 26/27 and singing mostly in a lower register. If you want another hard-hitting emotional song with Kate try her duet with Peter Gabriel on his song ‘Don’t Give Up’. One of the greatest duets of all time.
Moments of Pleasure is a great song about losing people and the wonderful way she pays tribute to their memory will have you in tears. Very emotional and beautiful.
Ah yes. Kate Bush, who wrote most of the songs off her first two albums, between the ages of 13 and 15. Recording contract at 16. Child prodigy. Enjoy the trip.
Lot of reaction videos to This Woman's Work have been on my RUclips feed these last few months. First of all, well done for not pausing during the song. Secondly, the fact that you can barely get your words out afterwards is testimony to what Kate can do to you. Her unique voice combined with this powerful video (which she directed herself) is designed to trigger the sad memories of a person's life. Think she succeeded here. Good luck with the channel 👍
Kate was asked to write a song for the scene in the movie She's Having A Baby where the husband, played by Kevin Bacon, is reminiscing about all of the good times he and his wife, played by Elizabeth McGovern, in the hospital waiting room and he's feeling regret and fear after he learned that his wife is about to go through a breached birth which could pose a threat to the wife's life and even the baby. Elizabeth McGovern's character and their baby both turn out OK. Kate wrote this song from the husband's point of view. Kate's character survives at the end of the music video because of the nurse's smile to let the husband know his wife is OK. This is my favorite Kate Bush song. It has gotten me through tough times emotionally and gave me the encouragement and strength to carry on. So I give her a lot of gratitude for writing, producing and performing this touching and beautiful song.
Mate, you have so so so much to learn about Kates music. She is a musical genius. I have never heard anyone come close to having such variance in her music that each song, album is unique. I have listened to her music almost daily since 1979. No other artist has had me playing their music like that.
Great reaction to this beautiful piece of visual music Maxwell's cover on its own certainly did more than justice for this song but for me, the raw emotional opulence of the original will always be the gold standard. I was quite young when I first saw/heard Kate's music. She definitely is in a league of her own who inspired many artists who came after her (Tori Amos, Bjork, Lorde to name a few). Kate is every bit of a theatrical/visual performer/storyteller as she is a musical genius/writer/artist and her extensive/legendary discography proves it. I encourage your continuation to watch and listen to this brilliant songstress for you have only scratched the surface of what is the Kate Bush Experience. I highly recommend next to watch and listen to Kate's duet with fellow legendary Art & Progressive Rock/Pop Artist Peter Gabriel. The song is "Don't Give Up" off of Peter's celebrated album "So" (1986). I listen to this song constantly to help me get through the tough times
Thanks for opening yourself up to this. Such a beautiful song on so many levels. Her talent and artistry is off the scale - definitely check out more of her work. Just read the comments for suggestions on where to start. :)
rk41gator The nurse smiles and reassures her husband at the end. The movie Kate wrote the song for "She's Having A Baby" 1988, also has a happy ending.
@@warrenbridges1891 Yes, I think you are right. But her 'spirit' comes to the husband and it is unclear if she has died. It may be simply reassuring him to be strong. So I does seem a happy ending, but I am drawn to Hemingway's 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' where (spoiler alert) the character's girl friend has a still birth and seems to be doing alright but right at the end dies of an infection. That is a stretch to assume something like that here. I like Kate keeps it a little fuzzy.
@@rk41gator I suppose it's easier for us who are familiar with the back story to come to a conclusion, so I can understand your point of view in regard to the video clip itself.
Thanks for your emotional reaction! I lost a child 1 month ago and I can tell the world needs more men like you who are able to feel and care! Real strength and vulnerability always come together (imo) that’s why appreciate your reaction that much ❤️
this song is soul touching, my goodness! the, “I know you have a little life in you yet, I know you have a lot of strength left” part just does and says so much to me that I can’t help it and 😭tears just start streaming. Its just one of those songs.
Loved Kate Bush but caught on in the 80's. By then she was huge. Duet with Peter Gabriel, etc. Love " Cloud Bursting" "Running Up That Hill" this one your reacting to and others. Genius creator, great singer, there was nothing like her back then. Great dancer too.
BTW at the end of the video when the nurse appears for the final time she's smiling so I take that to mean that the character that Kate was portraying survived. It's a very powerful song and the great thing is that Kate has so many in her catalogue. So in addition to the many suggestions I will add some more from the "Hounds Of Love" in addition to Cloudbusting, I would add Hounds Of Love and The Big Sky. Going back to the start you could try Wuthering Heights Kate's debut single which made an instant impact, followed by The Man With The Child In His Eyes, Wow, Hammer Horror, Babooshka, Breathing From Kate's 4th album "The Dreaming" which is her most experimental "out there" piece of work, you could try: Sat In Your Lap, The Dreaming, Suspended In Gaffa and There Goes A Tenner
That could have been because having her clearly telling him she died was too much for a music video and wouldn't get MTV play time etc. Major downer. I assumed she died based on the song and he was full of regrets.
@@nealm6764 No. She wrote the song specifically for the 1988 movie "She's Having A Baby" starring Kevin Bacon. Both mother and child survived in the movie.
@@warrenbridges1891 Moreover, this song seems to stop abruptly (when Kate closes the piano). In the film, this is the point, where Kevin Bacon stops at the door of her room in the hospital and looks at her in her bed, obviously being okay, just like the baby. Then he draws a conclusion of all that has happened in his life and then you can hear the song "Crazy Love" in a Brian Ferry version. In short terms: She's okay!
Kate is Kate. Usually, when you use someone's name to describe them, it's not good, but Kate is unique. I think your reaction here can be cut and pasted into the dictionary under "gobsmacked" because that's what Kate does to people. This song manages to evoke the maximum emotional reaction in the most intense economy of words and music. Don't feel bad that you were left speechless. We all were.
Great videos man, I like your commentary. Stay safe and well. I recently lost my Mum....and I still can't breathe. She was hurt by a lot of people in her life....and my young beautiful mum disappeared into a stroke right before my eyes....
If you haven't done Moments of pleasure yet, that might be a good place to continue. Kind of another take on the same subject, but considerably more uplifting (still every bit as moving though, by which I mean, yes, you have a good chance of crying with that one as well)
If you want something ... um ... very different to react to, check out Kate Bush's 1979 Xmas Special performance of her song "Egypt": ruclips.net/video/B6mTxSqo7iI/видео.html You up for the challenge? You might need your therapist on speed dial for this one! :)
Great reaction! This great deep honest smile of yours tells us a lot about how much you felt the song. We are millions to have felt the same about Kate Bush and other songs of hers. I personnally recommend one which is less known, where she sings in Gaelic (Irish): Mná na hÉireann (Women of Ireland) ruclips.net/video/f9vtaQNTTHc/видео.html.
If you want raw emotion try, James Blunt- Monsters. Probably the most emotional song/video you will ever see, I'm yet to see anyone who this doesn't affect.
This song always makes me cry. She has great songs and videos. Notable videos are ‘Cloudbusting’, ‘Army Dreamers’, ‘Experiment IV’ (basically a horror) and ‘Moments of pleasure’ which is about people she has lost and the importance of appreciating them while they are alive
If you wanna hear how Kate sounds more recently, you should hear "A Coral Room" from 2005. There's no video for it but it's one of her most beautiful songs. It's so devastating. Please react to it.
I know I'm late to your video, but this is so good man. Such an honest and beautiful reaction, such genuine humanity. Thank you. That song does the same thing to me.
Check out 'Moments Of Pleasure', a song about friends she lost. It's just as beautiful and moving. Kate created some real magic. P.S. There is a connection with Pink Floyd: David Gilmour discovered her and made sure she got a record deal when she was still a teenager.
Moments of Pleasure is another very deep song and video in which Kate remembers and pays tributes to people she has loved and lost. It’s a stunning work of art.
This is one of the songs I listened to a lot after my mom died. I also listened to "against all odds" by Phil Collins when my mom died. Neither are exactly about what I was going through but perfectly captured how sad I was and sense.of loss
Enjoyed your reaction. Love Kate Bush! If you'd like to keep with the vibe and sound of this album, I suggest "Love and Anger" and "The Sensual World," the other singles from the album. Would love to see you react to them.
I've been listening to Kate ever since 1978 with her first release, "Wuthering Heights." "This Woman's Work" has always reminded of my Mother, God Rest Her Soul. I'm tearing up as I'm writing this.
Now you are starting to know why we of the time period 70’s and 80’s want that time to come back for if nothing else the better music and art and lots of other things that were flying higher than now. Just promise you’ll always hear the original disk version of the music then listen to the live more enthusiastic version they do not sound anything alike, make your choice then!!!😉
I knew this song from " Love of Basketball ". I knew it sound familiar but could not place the tune. Shows like your refresh the memories of old songs and artists... Thank you. It was also in another movie before that one in which she Kate Bush was singing the song.
Kate Bush's original song goes SO MUCH DEEPER than Maxwell's cover. Yes, Maxwell have a great voice...but IMHO, he TOTALLY misses the real emotional essence of Kate's song...as well as the story behind it. Maxwell focuses on the voice, while Kate focuses on emoting the message and story of the song. I tell you...the message is MUCH MORE POWERFUL than Maxwell's vocal gymnastics. Don't get me wrong, Maxwell is a great singer/artist. But sometimes it's not about the voice. It's about telling the story.
There's a bit of cathedral echo on the Kate Bush track. (spoiled it for me) Cathedrals and churches produce AMAZING reverberations - but need the right music for that.
It’s been a year, and you said you were gonna do more of Kate. I hope you did. She’s one of those that gets you to the bone in every song. First, there’s the story. Next, there’s the emotion. Finally, there’s the music. Many of today’s musicians forget that. They can sing, so that’s all done. Here comes the money! No. It isn’t. It’s not enough to just shake your booty and rake in the money. Just because you can write doesn’t mean your books should be taught in literature classes. You move people to their core, or you haven’t done anything
This song with the video is a lot emotionally, I agree. I cried the first time I watched it also. All her music videos are great, you wouldn't be disappointed in doing more
You should hear Kate Bush cover Elton John's - Candle In The Wind. I grew up with my grandmother and her mother country is the UK. This song by Elton was played for Princess Diana when she died....Goodbye English Rose....My nana loved all the royal pageantry and she and I loved the Princess Diana. I think the world could really use a humanitarian like her right now. I can't think of anyone that didn't like her...except her husband and his mistress. She had a way of just reaching across all divides and boundaries....she believed the "human touch" was more healing than anything. She used to say, "...these people...young and old sometimes just need a cuddle..." Boy, she was right....and what we need right now is a kind Mum to give a cuddle to the suffering.
Yeahhh, this one is rough. I remember watching the movie, for which this song was written. “She’s having a baby”, directed by John Hughes, where Kevin Bacon plays the husband. This song made that movie even better. This is one of those songs that if you haven’t heard or watched the video in a while, it hits you allover again. It’s an excellent song, sung by an excellent voice, written for a gripping movie. The piano, her voice, and the lyrics make this a tearjerker for sure. A+ for Kate Bush on this masterpiece.
This is such an emotional song. I remember hearing it in the movie "She's Having a Baby" (1988) and my eyes tearing up and trying hard to make sure my wife didn’t see me. Although it is a “Comedy” for the most part, it deals with a very serious subject towards the end. Spoiler Alert Ahead: The song is playing when Kevin Bacon's character's wife is having life threatening issues giving birth to their first child. Kate wrote the song specifically for that movie and for that part with the husband waiting in the waiting room of the hospital not knowing if his wife and child will make it. It is a song from the man's point of view. Thinking back about all the regrets he has about their relationship. How he thinks about how he should have done things differently. How he wants a second chance to do things so much better and not take his wife for granted again. His thoughts about how precious her life is and how much he truly loves her. This reminds me to appreciate my wife a lot more. And by listening to this song, it as if I have lived this and now have a second chance to do better and do the things with her and for her so I don't have regrets later in life. You would have to be a robot to not show emotion once you understand the meaning behind this song and listen to the lyrics. I have heard many beautiful covers but no one can sing it with the emotion that Kate can.
I've been a big fan of Kate Bush since 1979... I never believed America gave her the credit she deserved until now..I'm glad people are now getting a chance to see how great she is..

Agree been a fan since the 70s !! She will live on forever in her music .
I never knew Kate Bush was the original!!! My mind is blown!! 🤯🤯🤯
@BobbySango Wrote it, sang lead and backing vocals, played piano and produced it, directed and starred in the video. Plus she's a trained dancer.
Kate Bush = Genius.
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my entire life. God bless Kate Bush.
Kate packs a punch. She has several songs that make me emotional too, she so wonderfully talented.
I’m crying too- men don’t always realize how serious childbirth can go- once faced they have to pull inner strength and start the beautiful appreciation of life- feeling helpless forcing this farther to examine himself learn.

Kate Bush is one of those extremely rare people in history that the word “genius” can be used quite legitimately about. She is a creative genius.
Yeah It’s okay to drop a tear she hits you with that thunderbolt and your hooked , powerful artist and a genuinely touching reactions that’s what Kate does best connection 🌍✌🏼
Kate Bush wrote this masterpiece 👏

Thank you, and that is actually my most recent Kate Bush reaction because that's the 1 I got the most requests for

Absolute class. I grew up listening to Kate and she is still and always will be my absolute go to. This song never fails to bring me to tears.☮️💓🇬🇧
Also watch Sensual World by Kate Bush. The music is great and she looks beautiful in the video.
Kate was asked to write a song for the scene in the movie She's Having A Baby where the husband, played by Kevin Bacon, is reminiscing about all of the good times he and his wife, played by Elizabeth McGovern, in the hospital waiting room and he's feeling regret and fear after he learned that his wife is about to go through a breached birth which could pose a threat to the wife's life and even the baby.

Kate bush wrote this song, sound track for a movie in 1988, she’s having a baby , the depth of understanding way beyond her years, Bellissimo.
She closes the piano cover at the end of the video. Makes it unclear whether she dies in the end. The video is powerful.

This song was used in the movie She's Having A Baby with Kevin Bacon. There is a video using that portion of the film. It is very good.
I love you!
Kate Bush, Ryan tedder, peter gabriel, dan Reynolds,birdy, Christina perri,robert Smith ,Jeff lynne welcome to the new world god bless
Treat yourself to the RUclips video tour of life by Kate (the one with blue background and white writing). It's of her original tour.
They don’t make them like this anymore!
Plz make a James Blunt Monster Reaction
Bush is brilliant at writing from a man’s perspective. Very few women singers can do this.
That was a lot. That was most. That was all.
If you haven't done Moments of pleasure yet, that might be a good place to continue. Kind of another take on the same subject, but considerably more uplifting (still every bit as moving though, by which I mean, yes, you have a good chance of crying with that one as well)
I would appreciate it if you reacted to one of the most underrated bands of the eighties. The Blue Nile.
Thank you! I definitely will check it out.
If you want something ... um ... very different to react to, check out Kate Bush's 1979 Xmas Special performance of her song "Egypt": ruclips.net/video/B6mTxSqo7iI/видео.html
You up for the challenge? You might need your therapist on speed dial for this one! :)
Great reaction! This great deep honest smile of yours tells us a lot about how much you felt the song. We are millions to have felt the same about Kate Bush and other songs of hers. I personnally recommend one which is less known, where she sings in Gaelic (Irish): Mná na hÉireann (Women of Ireland) ruclips.net/video/f9vtaQNTTHc/видео.html.
Thank you! I really appreciate that.
If you want raw emotion try, James Blunt- Monsters. Probably the most emotional song/video you will ever see, I'm yet to see anyone who this doesn't affect.
Oh sorry not forgetting James blunt I'll meet you in the fox very soon
Maxwell who?
Maxwell did this cover justice but Kate just hits different she's one of a kind!
This song always makes me cry. She has great songs and videos. Notable videos are ‘Cloudbusting’, ‘Army Dreamers’, ‘Experiment IV’ (basically a horror) and ‘Moments of pleasure’ which is about people she has lost and the importance of appreciating them while they are alive
If you wanna hear how Kate sounds more recently, you should hear "A Coral Room" from 2005. There's no video for it but it's one of her most beautiful songs. It's so devastating. Please react to it.
A Coral Room is Kate at her best imo. Such a powerful song.
I know I'm late to your video, but this is so good man. Such an honest and beautiful reaction, such genuine humanity. Thank you. That song does the same thing to me.
Check out 'Moments Of Pleasure', a song about friends she lost. It's just as beautiful and moving. Kate created some real magic.
P.S. There is a connection with Pink Floyd: David Gilmour discovered her and made sure she got a record deal when she was still a teenager.
Moments of Pleasure is another very deep song and video in which Kate remembers and pays tributes to people she has loved and lost. It’s a stunning work of art.
This is one of the songs I listened to a lot after my mom died. I also listened to "against all odds" by Phil Collins when my mom died. Neither are exactly about what I was going through but perfectly captured how sad I was and sense.of loss
Kate is an angel sent down from heaven.
Enjoyed your reaction. Love Kate Bush! If you'd like to keep with the vibe and sound of this album, I suggest "Love and Anger" and "The Sensual World," the other singles from the album. Would love to see you react to them.
I've been listening to Kate ever since 1978 with her first release, "Wuthering Heights." "This Woman's Work" has always reminded of my Mother, God Rest Her Soul. I'm tearing up as I'm writing this.
If you haven't listened already..Kate Bush and Peter Gabriel..don't give up..simple video..beautiful song..Great voices🥰
I remeber this song😊 is in "she's having a baby" soundtrack.
You're not alone, my friend; this video gets to me every time.
I’ve seen Kate’s video dozens of times and listened to the song hundreds of times and it still breaks me apart.
Check out Kate Bush’s song “Sat In Your Lap” off her album “The Dreaming” for a real rocker.
Nice reaction to a great song, you're a good soul.
You remind me of an alternate universe Mike Tyson
Now you are starting to know why we of the time period 70’s and 80’s want that time to come back for if nothing else the better music and art and lots of other things that were flying higher than now. Just promise you’ll always hear the original disk version of the music then listen to the live more enthusiastic version they do not sound anything alike, make your choice then!!!😉
Nice that the reacter felt the song.. great video thank you
SHE IS DEVINE in every way!
You should listen to Jennie Abrahamson's version it will also make you cry for sure!
You should watch the movie She’s Having a Baby with Kevin Bacon. That’s where I first heard this song.
I knew this song from " Love of Basketball ". I knew it sound familiar but could not place the tune. Shows like your refresh the memories of old songs and artists... Thank you. It was also in another movie before that one in which she Kate Bush was singing the song.
Been a Kate Bush fan since I was a little girl in the 70’s. THAT song is a profound experience. Loved watching your reaction
Got 3 kids this song fills me with pain, can't even thatham telling them mums not here 😢😢😢
Check out Peter Gabriel ft. Kate Bush, "Don't GIve Up"!
Kate Bush's original song goes SO MUCH DEEPER than Maxwell's cover. Yes, Maxwell have a great voice...but IMHO, he TOTALLY misses the real emotional essence of Kate's song...as well as the story behind it. Maxwell focuses on the voice, while Kate focuses on emoting the message and story of the song. I tell you...the message is MUCH MORE POWERFUL than Maxwell's vocal gymnastics. Don't get me wrong, Maxwell is a great singer/artist. But sometimes it's not about the voice. It's about telling the story.
There's a bit of cathedral echo on the Kate Bush track. (spoiled it for me) Cathedrals and churches produce AMAZING reverberations - but need the right music for that.
I didn't notice that until you mentioned it, thanks for pointing that out
I tell people every time, watch out for her screams. The pain is so visceral. Listen right after she pulls the table cloth off. It's overwhelming.
It’s been a year, and you said you were gonna do more of Kate. I hope you did.
She’s one of those that gets you to the bone in every song. First, there’s the story. Next, there’s the emotion. Finally, there’s the music. Many of today’s musicians forget that. They can sing, so that’s all done. Here comes the money!
No. It isn’t. It’s not enough to just shake your booty and rake in the money. Just because you can write doesn’t mean your books should be taught in literature classes. You move people to their core, or you haven’t done anything
Sure did, there's a playlist. And I definitely agree with your assessment

utter genius. Stupendous talent. Starting writing songs at what 13, The Man With the Child in his Eyes. 13 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It makes me wonder how Maxwell would had sung this song if he had written it without hearing Kate Bushes version ?.
Kate wrote it ;-)
I watched She's Having a Baby many times in the 80s. I have a Pavlovian response to the song. Instant tears, sadness and concern.
The end of that video really sticks it in and breaks it off....lol.
Lovely reaction, man :)
Thank you
This song with the video is a lot emotionally, I agree. I cried the first time I watched it also. All her music videos are great, you wouldn't be disappointed in doing more
Stunning performance, stunning reaction😢❤
Great song and artist. I love the song and video Sensual World from kate. She is a great storyteller and her videos are a must
At last someone understand the messages in this! Take care!
Let get you a little more emotional.....with......."Moments of Pleasure," by Kate Bush. It is FIRE!!! I think you can relate to this song!!!!
This video also makes me tear up every time I watch it.
Yeah this song and video f**ks a man up.
You should hear Kate Bush cover Elton John's - Candle In The Wind. I grew up with my grandmother and her mother country is the UK. This song by Elton was played for Princess Diana when she died....Goodbye English Rose....My nana loved all the royal pageantry and she and I loved the Princess Diana. I think the world could really use a humanitarian like her right now. I can't think of anyone that didn't like her...except her husband and his mistress. She had a way of just reaching across all divides and boundaries....she believed the "human touch" was more healing than anything. She used to say, "...these people...young and old sometimes just need a cuddle..." Boy, she was right....and what we need right now is a kind Mum to give a cuddle to the suffering.
Yeahhh, this one is rough. I remember watching the movie, for which this song was written. “She’s having a baby”, directed by John Hughes, where Kevin Bacon plays the husband. This song made that movie even better. This is one of those songs that if you haven’t heard or watched the video in a while, it hits you allover again. It’s an excellent song, sung by an excellent voice, written for a gripping movie. The piano, her voice, and the lyrics make this a tearjerker for sure. A+ for Kate Bush on this masterpiece.
You have some serious catching up to do - she made 10 albums between 1978-2011.
Yeah, Maxwell's was great, but once you hear Kate's you get home derivative his take was and that he stood on her shoulders.
This is such an emotional song. I remember hearing it in the movie "She's Having a Baby" (1988) and my eyes tearing up and trying hard to make sure my wife didn’t see me. Although it is a “Comedy” for the most part, it deals with a very serious subject towards the end. Spoiler Alert Ahead: The song is playing when Kevin Bacon's character's wife is having life threatening issues giving birth to their first child. Kate wrote the song specifically for that movie and for that part with the husband waiting in the waiting room of the hospital not knowing if his wife and child will make it.
It is a song from the man's point of view. Thinking back about all the regrets he has about their relationship. How he thinks about how he should have done things differently. How he wants a second chance to do things so much better and not take his wife for granted again. His thoughts about how precious her life is and how much he truly loves her.
This reminds me to appreciate my wife a lot more. And by listening to this song, it as if I have lived this and now have a second chance to do better and do the things with her and for her so I don't have regrets later in life. You would have to be a robot to not show emotion once you understand the meaning behind this song and listen to the lyrics. I have heard many beautiful covers but no one can sing it with the emotion that Kate can.
