i’m glad your wife is ok i have 4 kids its a scary thing to see for the father i remember the look of worry on my husband face with each delivery that i have had ive never forgotten
I heard the Maxwell version first and loved it. But when I heard the Kate Bush version I instantly knew hers was the better and more heartbreaking version.
Hel Gar She's hard to cover, but even Kate would have trouble reproducing some of her intricate experimental, prog rock productions. She was not only a genius at the microphone, but a great musician and a visionary in the control room. Practically invented her own genre.
@@TheWrensHouse He never pretended it was his song when he first covered it on MTV Unplugged Live he introduced the song as being hers. When he has performed it on tour he has played her version and video and spoke of her before he goes into his cover. People just don't listen or pay attention, but it is no fault of his. His intentions was just picking it as a song to perform on the MTV show, because they asked him to do some cover songs along with his own songs and because he liked the song and her music. The other cover in the show was of a Nine Inch Nails song. His record company pushed this song to be put out as a single and a video after his cover became popular.
@@BP-kx2ig What an idiotic statement. Whether a person wrote the song or not, everyone does a version of a song, simply because they're all different. Unless you've never read the phrase it's generally called the original version...and learn to use "quotation marks" and not apostrophes (') for quotes.
Kate Bush was Tupac's favorite female singer. They were gonna collab, until he passed. "Running up that hill/ a Deal with God by Kate Bush is just 'knock your socks off beautiful' KB just reaches in your chest and brings out those emotions. Powerful voice.
@@SirHilaryManfat Kate gave him the song "Why Should i Love you" to add guitar and backing vocals. He changed the whole tone of the song. Kate had to delete parts to transform it back into a Kate Bush song.
It is a shame that Kate is not well known in America. But in the U.K, throughout Europe, Australia, and Japan, Kate is an icon. She is a true original, there's just no one like her - a musical genius. By the time Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour discovered her at the age of 15, she had already written over 250 songs. A brilliant and innovative composer, lyricist, singer (with a 4-octave voice), pianist, dancer, mime, choreographer, record producer, video producer & director - she even helped develop the first cordless headset microphone that she used on tour in 1979. Hugely influential and HIGHLY respected by musicians worldwide, Kate was one of the first female musicians to take total production and artistic control over her work. She’s been a real pioneer for women in the music industry for the last 40 years. First woman to have a #1 self-written song in the UK charts. First woman to have an album debut at #1. First woman to have a Top 10 album in each of the last four decades. She has had 25 Top 40 singles, 10 albums on the Top 10 Albums Charts, nominated 13 times for British Phonographic Industry awards and 3 Grammy awards, an Ivor Novella Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music, and appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2013 for her honored services to music. In September of 2020 Kate was honored as a fellow of the prestigious Ivors Academy for songwriters and composers. In 2014 she returned to the stage and sold out over 100,000 tickets in less than 15 minutes (a record for the Hammersmith Apollo). Her 22 performances were highly acclaimed (named as "the #1 live music event of the year" by many music publications) and she became the first woman to have 8 albums in the top 40 charts at the same time (third behind only Elvis and The Beatles).
I’m an American that was lucky enough to discover her in the ‘80s when “The Whole Story” was released. I was instantly fascinated and started filling in her catalog, it is a shame she never got very big here. I might have never even heard of her but read s review of “The Whole Story which piqued my interest - so glad I ran across that review, she is one of my favorite artists.
Kate Bush is English, you once reacted to her much earlier song 'Wuthering Heights' and you weren't that impressed. However she has the vocal range of a flute and does have some incredible songs.
you mean he didn't like Wuthering Heights ...wow, I guess people can be odd in not spotting a complete genius and she's English...why do Americans think any non American woman who speaks English is Australian 🤷 😂
I love this song. She's amazing. She's very close to the top of my favorite female singers (I think tori amos is a tiny bit higher on my list but I've listened to tori since 95) However, I must admit, England (the uk? I'm never quite sure about that British you know what I mean) produces tons of amazing artists. A lot of the greatest bands in many genres.
Just so you know, Kate wrote, composed, arranged, produced and played piano and keyboards on this. She also wrote and directed the video. She is a total genius.
Kate Bush is from England. She is a singer songwriter. She is HUGE. She has sold billions of records. Maxwell is tiny in comparison. Kate Bush was HUGE before this song was even released. This was later in her career.
Yes, Kate Bush is a genius!! I first "This Woman's Work in the movie "She's Having a Baby" with Kevin Bacon and Elizabeth McGovern (1988) and just recently in the movie "A Man Name Otto" with Tom Hanks. In both movie, the scenes are very touching and emotional. I cry each time I hear it. It reminds me of all the strong women, whom passed.
I loved my Mum, but we always had a difficult relationship. So much undone, unsaid between us. After she died I listened to this all the time, all the pain, loss & regret was there.
I was in grade 7 when she released Wuthering Heights. I’ve been a lifelong fan. I think she’s a musical genius and has an uncanny ability to break my heart with her voice. Not many artists bring me to tears. She’s in my all time top five. I never get sick of her songs. Utterly timeless.
I'm an English man who was young when this came out! Forget Maxwell Kate Bush was a Musical Genius and when any of her songs were released everyone thought! 'OMG Who is this'!! She is a Legend simple as!!!
Underrated?! By _whom_ exactly? 8 Ivor Novello nominations, 3 wins 13 Brit nominations 3 Billboard Awards 3 Grammy nominations and literally dozens more...
If you watch Maxwell's live version on RUclips he does give her recognition saying it was wrote and produced by her and he said "She is the Bomb.... Truly" That shows he has respect for her.
Eastern Star From England. English father, Irish mother. There's a song she did in the Irish language "Women of Ireland". I can't understand a word of it, but so beautiful.
My favourite Kate song is Oh England My Lionheart. Written as a WW2 bomber pilot falling to his death and romanticising his love of England. I note noone's done a reaction video to it. You should check it out.
I had this album on repeat in 88, so that when Maxwell's version came on the radio I impressed the Afram ladies in the office because a skinny white guy could go beat for beat with a Maxwell song.
J' ai entendu la première fois kate et j' ai compris des les premières notes. de sa musique et de sa voix qu' elle allait bouleversé mon ame et mon cœur j ai' 58 ans et ca n' a pas changer cette femme est inclassable
Kate Bush, the most talented, beautiful, authentic (hate the word but there is no fakeness with her) artist. Moments of Pleasure is another ‘tear jerker’. If I were on a desert island and could only have the work of one artist she would be it.
@@nealm6764 ..he gave credit to Kate Bush many a time before he sang the song...this is the 21st century, who listens to live recordings, all these muppets just have the song on Spotify and make assumptions , no such thing these days in debate or critical thinking, just muppets who like the sound of their own voice I guess ...lol
@@TheWrensHouse It's not just that they defend him. Quite often they display outright contempt for Kate. Disgusting behaviour, towards someone who wrote the song that they profess to revere so much.
I gather I'm in a minority here, but I have some reservations about Maxwell's version. First up, I love that he covered it, and that he spoke so effusively about her when introducing the song live. He does sing it very well; that said, I couldn't help feeling that he's sort of showing off his falsetto - particularly on the "I know you have a little life in you yet" part, which Kate actually sings an octave down. Maxwell stays in his falsetto throughout, which IMO flattens the song out a bit, and detracts from the impact of those lines.
Problembeing Kate wrote it from the perspective of Kevin Bacon's character, in the 1988 movie "She's Having A Baby" While he's in the waiting room at the hospital. Her other songs from the man's perspective include "Ran Tan Waltz" and "Pull Out The Pin".
I cant believe you don't the musical genius that is Kate Bush The song is all about a woman in labour while her husband waits for news - Hence a woman's work
I just came across a video of Diesel and Barnsy singing live and Jimmy is actually playing guitar. Diesel and Jimmy Barnes I'd die to be with you, live (Today). Backing them up is Mahalia and his wife there may be other Barnes members up there aswell.
David Handson A lot of singers can play. When Billy Thorpe's guitarist didn't show one night, he took over lead guitar and blew everyone away. He never used to play on stage before.
Kate Bushs career spans 40 years, she is a singer writer producer director choreographer and dancer in music and film. She is English born and probably the most unique and successful British female in the business with 10 studio albums and a raft of awards to her credit. I dont think she needs a credit from Maxwell. Be warned if you enter the utterly phenomenal world of KB your life will be forever changed.
To turn the tables on Kate Bush and see her do a cover of someone else’s original, it would be great to see you do a reaction to her cover of Elton John’s Rocket Man. The black and white music video is pretty cool. She was invited to do something for the Elton John/Bernie Taupin tribute album ‘Two Rooms’ and chose to do this song.
@@TheWrensHouse She's got a whole album of covers "Other's Words" and every single person gets paid their dues. She's more than generous in that respect. Even when discussing recordings of her own songs she'll praise others. If only there were more like her.
Kate Bush has so many great songs but only 1 song made it to number 1 in the US and that was love and anger from the sensual world album Dave Gilmour from pink floyd plays guitar on that song Gilmour was also the person that got Kate Bush a record deal
Woman with high singing voices seem to be more listenable and emotional. Asian girls have these same singing traits with their high voices. I prefer to listen to a lot of singers from the Asian Pacific Countries in their own languages, with their own songs, mostly from years past.
Jens Ericson It's from Kevin Bacon's perspective in the 1988 movie "She's Having A Baby" Kate was commissioned to write it for a specific scene, where Kevin's character is in the waiting room while she gives birth.
@@jericoba Yes. It always has been. It seems I have interpreted your comment as also being sung from a woman's perspective. Kate has sung from the man's perspective on a number of occasions.
None Ya Damn Business Off Kate's 1989 album "The Sensual World". Preceded by the track "Rocket's Tail" featuring Dave Gilmour on guitar and some explosive drumming by Kate's old buddy Stuart Elliott.
Stop comparing it to Maxwell’s version. This is the original and as good as Maxwell is, Maxwell can’t compete with Kate Bush. You can not improve upon the original. It’s perfect.
Kate Bush is english singer/songwriter, producer, musician and dancer. One of the most influential musicians and Björk, Tori Amos, even BigBoi took inspirations from her. Literally the queen of art pop music.
This song is from The Sensual World though, just for anyone wondering. It came right after The Hounds of Love and was just as good an album as Hounds of Love in my opinion. Those two were her biggest commercial successes.
With Maxwells version I was more focused on how sexy he sounded, and how good he was singing. Kate makes me focus on the emotions. While sounding incredible.
I've been having a really crappy few days and this video just makes me so happy. Do yourself a massive favour and listen to the whole album, then go and listen to Hounds of Love. I love Kate so much.
Who the hell is Maxwell? Just heard his version of “woman’s work” the emotion and power of Kate bushes work is just there, no forced pushing what you think is what it is, you can only copy or emulate her work not transcend it. Kate Bush is English, she started to write songs and sing her music after her 16th birthday, Dave Gilmore from Pink Floyd found her and her massive talent and the group took her around with them and pushed her forward. She not only writes music and sings it, she dances to it using her own choreography, with stand alone music and songs non of this manufactured girl band stuff. I think I’m right in saying because of this she designed the first close to face microphone so can dance without holding a Mike in the hand. Her song book is quite big but she’s proved to be quite private almost reclusive, her videos are quite spectacular with her interpretation of the story behind the music. In her own way she carried on the British knack of producing original, iconic music! Everything music seems to revolve around 67 to 89 ish, there doesn’t seem to be the spark that there used to be anywhere. Look around the song books of psychedelic, hard rock whatever genre whatever country, the originality seemed to slow down and petter out after 89. Cheers Aah Kid
There seems a fairly consistent line drawn about the “better” version. Anyone who heard Kate first picks her version. Anyone who hears Maxwell first picks his. Obviously without Kate, there would be no Maxwell, as far as this song is concerned. For me she conveys all the emotion needed because she wrote it so she knows precisely what it was about. Maxwell does an amazing job, but I’ll always prefer Kate’s version. Plus, it shows how versatile she has been as an artist over the years. This album (Sensual World) alone has some big variety in songs and sounds. She’s a unique artist and one I’m so happy to have been able to listen to the last 40 (plus) years.
I knew the original version first, and I love Kate’s the best. It was so nice hearing a male cover it and sing it so well, as it’s obviously written to be from the man’s perspective.
I heard Maxwell's first and prefer his (sue me) only slightly. Kate's voice is a tad shrill in parts to me so his edges hers out. Having said that, it's clear people just have different taste in music and that's okay. Thanks for not being rude about it as some rabid fans can be. Lol.
Please tell me about Maxwell's 4 decade career as a musical innovator and icon. Nope? He covered an absolute belter 30 years later and done nothing of any note before or since. Kinda settles it tbh.
The choir is Kate’s voice. Her music is an enduring part of my life’s story. A glorious 40 years of wonderful music. Songs like Moments of Pleasure, The Morning Fog and Man with a Child in his Eyes are entwined with my heart.
Its like doing a Paul MacCartney cover...hear the original...and there is no real comparison....Kate Bush is one of a kind musical genius....timeless...haunting...unique.....magic...
Kates version is hauntingly beautiful. It’s in a movie with Kevin Bacon and Elizabeth McGovern (She’s having a baby), as well as a very chilling scene in The Handmaids Tale. Makes me teary every time I hear it. Thankyou for listening to it.
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.
My wife nearly died giving birth to our first child, so this song kicks me in the throat with the emotion of it. Kate Bush is a genius.
feel comfort from a far
i’m glad your wife is ok i have 4 kids its a scary thing to see for the father i remember the look of worry on my husband face with each delivery that i have had ive never forgotten

@jon dough You're right. It's mainly Maxwell's fans who rejoice in putting her down. Obviously, he sees something that they don't.
Original and best, all he does is mimicry. But you can’t mimic her incredible writing talent.

shout out to Maxwell you say !!
that he can steal other people's songs and copy them !! 🤣
Woman with high singing voices seem to be more listenable and emotional. Asian girls have these same singing traits with their high voices. I prefer to listen to a lot of singers from the Asian Pacific Countries in their own languages, with their own songs, mostly from years past.
David from America Kate's early stuff was popular in Japan. They even got her to do a Seiko watch commercial.
Who the hell is Maxwell? Maxwell Smart?
Agent 86👞😂😂

Maxwell who?
In my opinion, it's a song that's supposed to come from a woman, sung by a woman about a woman's work.
Jens Ericson It's from Kevin Bacon's perspective in the 1988 movie "She's Having A Baby" Kate was commissioned to write it for a specific scene, where Kevin's character is in the waiting room while she gives birth.
@@warrenbridges1891 I know about the movie. The song is still about a woman's work.
@@jericoba Yes. It always has been. It seems I have interpreted your comment as also being sung from a woman's perspective. Kate has sung from the man's perspective on a number of occasions.
AUSTRALIA?
@craigcharlesworth1583 We wish. We'll just have to be content with Anglo blood.
A womam singing this lands different..
Amanda Plivelich Kate still wrote it from the male perspective, but I've been used to this version since 1989.
I'm really tired of all of this Maxwell! Kate Bush it is, and only Kate
A woman's work....
Well damn this wasn’t Maxwell’s song???🥴🥴🥴
None Ya Damn Business Off Kate's 1989 album "The Sensual World". Preceded by the track "Rocket's Tail" featuring Dave Gilmour on guitar and some explosive drumming by Kate's old buddy Stuart Elliott.
Stop comparing it to Maxwell’s version. This is the original and as good as Maxwell is, Maxwell can’t compete with Kate Bush. You can not improve upon the original. It’s perfect.
That’s all these kids know, they can’t help it.
I hope you get to listen to more Kate Bush. She's a true musical genius with a phenomenal back catalogue.
Australian !! She’s 100% English and we love her so much, pure beauty & talent 🙏
Kate Bush is english singer/songwriter, producer, musician and dancer. One of the most influential musicians and Björk, Tori Amos, even BigBoi took inspirations from her. Literally the queen of art pop music.
She’s a genius. The Hounds of Love album is a masterpiece
❤
This song is from The Sensual World though, just for anyone wondering. It came right after The Hounds of Love and was just as good an album as Hounds of Love in my opinion. Those two were her biggest commercial successes.
Kate's a musical genius!
With Maxwells version I was more focused on how sexy he sounded, and how good he was singing. Kate makes me focus on the emotions. While sounding incredible.
I've been having a really crappy few days and this video just makes me so happy. Do yourself a massive favour and listen to the whole album, then go and listen to Hounds of Love. I love Kate so much.
A listen of the entire album would be amazing!
No offense to Maxwell, but Kate Bush is a genius in a totally different league
Who the hell is Maxwell? Just heard his version of “woman’s work” the emotion and power of Kate bushes work is just there, no forced pushing what you think is what it is, you can only copy or emulate her work not transcend it. Kate Bush is English, she started to write songs and sing her music after her 16th birthday, Dave Gilmore from Pink Floyd found her and her massive talent and the group took her around with them and pushed her forward. She not only writes music and sings it, she dances to it using her own choreography, with stand alone music and songs non of this manufactured girl band stuff. I think I’m right in saying because of this she designed the first close to face microphone so can dance without holding a Mike in the hand. Her song book is quite big but she’s proved to be quite private almost reclusive, her videos are quite spectacular with her interpretation of the story behind the music. In her own way she carried on the British knack of producing original, iconic music! Everything music seems to revolve around 67 to 89 ish, there doesn’t seem to be the spark that there used to be anywhere. Look around the song books of psychedelic, hard rock whatever genre whatever country, the originality seemed to slow down and petter out after 89.
Cheers Aah Kid
There seems a fairly consistent line drawn about the “better” version. Anyone who heard Kate first picks her version. Anyone who hears Maxwell first picks his. Obviously without Kate, there would be no Maxwell, as far as this song is concerned. For me she conveys all the emotion needed because she wrote it so she knows precisely what it was about. Maxwell does an amazing job, but I’ll always prefer Kate’s version. Plus, it shows how versatile she has been as an artist over the years. This album (Sensual World) alone has some big variety in songs and sounds. She’s a unique artist and one I’m so happy to have been able to listen to the last 40 (plus) years.
I knew the original version first, and I love Kate’s the best. It was so nice hearing a male cover it and sing it so well, as it’s obviously written to be from the man’s perspective.
I've obviously heard Kate's version first but I honestly love both versions.
I heard Maxwell's first and prefer his (sue me) only slightly. Kate's voice is a tad shrill in parts to me so his edges hers out. Having said that, it's clear people just have different taste in music and that's okay. Thanks for not being rude about it as some rabid fans can be. Lol.
no contest, kate bush wrote it, it's instinctive and felt with emotion, and yes, maxwell was in awe of kate bush.
Please tell me about Maxwell's 4 decade career as a musical innovator and icon.
Nope?
He covered an absolute belter 30 years later and done nothing of any note before or since.
Kinda settles it tbh.
Great song. She’s truly an amazing Artist.
The choir is Kate’s voice. Her music is an enduring part of my life’s story. A glorious 40 years of wonderful music. Songs like Moments of Pleasure, The Morning Fog and Man with a Child in his Eyes are entwined with my heart.
This song is about a man’s perspective of a woman giving birth💕
Who's Maxwell???
Its like doing a Paul MacCartney cover...hear the original...and there is no real comparison....Kate Bush is one of a kind musical genius....timeless...haunting...unique.....magic...
Kate Bush is from England and was very big in the 80’s. Such a unique voice and person.
Kates version is hauntingly beautiful. It’s in a movie with Kevin Bacon and Elizabeth McGovern (She’s having a baby), as well as a very chilling scene in The Handmaids Tale. Makes me teary every time I hear it. Thankyou for listening to it.
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.
For real. Maxwell cover of this song of this is criminal. It's one of the worst covers ever done.
Kate Bush is an astonishing artist, a true original, a genius.
So strange that so many people think this song is from Maxwell . I like the Maxwell version as well … but no one can sing it like her …
